I've had this problem for at least 2 weeks now. certain websites, google search for example do no work on wifi. i ran a speed test and found my upload is not working. ill get about 4000 kbps download and 30 kbps upload, and from the looks of the test, i would say its not working at all because the bar completely stops when you test in real time. i have tested this on multiple WiFi networks and nothing changes.
heres what i tried so far
-flash new radio
-flash stock rooted rom
-fully unroot and reroot
im starting to wonder, could this be a harware issue?

Hi,
For some reason when I run a speed test over Wifi, I get very slow upload speeds of 0.2 kB/s (downloads are fine at 400+ kB/s).
I am using a Buffalo router with DD WRT firmware and all other devices work fine with it.
This occurs with stock Froyo. I recently installed Enomther's ROM, and still have the exact same issue.
Any ideas?
Have you tried flashing a new radio? I just flashed the Korean radio that is on the forums and it doubled my upload speeds.
Thanks.
I forgot to mention but I'm already using the 5.08 Korean radio. Come to think of it, I wonder if installing that radio might coincide with the beginning of my issue. Might try downgrading if I can't find anything else.
Yeah, results with the Korean radio seem to be mixed bag. My download speed went down a tiny bit, but uploads soared for me. Some people it has no effect, so try the stock radio again and see if that fixes it.
Tried downgrading. Same result. Really puzzled about this...
Hmmm, maybe try connecting to another Wifi access point and see if you get the same results.
Peace All,
Has anyone been having problems w/ their 4G service wherein it hangs (on loading) a site that is heavily ladened w/ FLASH (not to be confused w/ the current Gtalk and market issues)? I've tried the plug-in selections of "ON DEMAND" and even "ALWAYS" and it seems that it takes my 4G almost 3 -4 minutes (if it even loads) just to download the site fully---my 3G is actually faster . I've ran speed tests and when i'm on 4G i"m pulling 4.63 mbps down and about 1.00 mbps up---I've even checked to see if my RSA keys were intact and they were. The people (customer service) seem oblivious to this problem. Is there a fix for this?
thanks in advance for anyone's insight to this problem

I don't know, I'll check mine tomorrow when I'm in a 4g area.
Problem with customer service is, they don't have a clue with anything network related. All they do is check to see how many problems similar to what a person reports as a problem and then make a note of it.
No problems with flash on 4g.
FYI - I am running AVO v9 and Flash Fix 10 so I can watch Hulu, and it worked great.
Peace,
Well i guess I'm the only one---this has happened on every ROM I've tried (Ava9 and Myn's Rsl2)---I've called Sprint and I've ran various tests to check my 4G and my RSA keys are in tact and my MAC address is cool---I also have the latest radio, prl, pri and wimax versions---I'm going back to stock---theming and custom ROM's are too much of a hassle and not worth it (most people on here appear to be sooo OBSESSED about battery life that they turn off every function of the phone so that they can brag that they havent charged in 8 days ). I use my phone to the fullest and like running 4G--since im in a 4G saturated area---all day
Thanks anyway,
-ZDK-
use flash on demand, that speeds up all your site loadings, make the browser more stable, and removes ads, unless you like ads, .
For me flash site works perfect on 4G...
only issues i have on 4g are pc related, whether im tethered or using hotspot, if the 4g dips just a little the flash video stops loading, when i get to that part the players just hang at what ever the buffer says which is usually 45% to 51% and i have to refresh and jump to the place it stopped, the overall 4g connection is very stable, i have no clue whats going on
btw would you happen to be using dolphin browser hd?? there have been a lot of comments about browser slowdown with froyo and the site has a few suggestions to help speed it up
I've actually got the exact same problem as the OP. I recently did some modifications to the wimax settings so 4g would connect faster and stay connected longer and wonder if that may have something to do with it. Otherwise I do not know what might have changed.
Ok i know there are threads out there that are similar... But this one just boggles my mind.
Currently using stock rom with phoenix kernel.
It all started i guess when I installed Quick Settings from the Android market and didnt know that it wasn't recommended for usage on cdma phones because of the data-disabling toggle. After i installed it and often used it to disable my data to save battery, i noticed that it took forever to update my rss feeds and pandora as well. I then proceeded to test the download/upload speeds via speedtest.net app. it was then i noticed that my download speeds were peaking at 200kbps and sinking down again to 150kbps, repeat. My uploads were the standard 500-700kbps so i wasn't worried about that...
I then read comments on the market regarding quick settings and how it messes up the cdma data speeds. So i did what anyone else would do: backed up my contacts, sms and apps and used odin to flash back to stock rom.
Downloads were normal again but then it started getting worse again. I then decided to update my prl and profile and it seemed to fix the problem. But a day later, the slow download speeds plagued me once more!
I'm really frustrated at this point because i'm not sure if it's because of some of the stock apps that i deleted (although it can't that because i even flashed back to stock rom via odin) or possibly i messed up my radio because of quick settings... or it could possibly be the 3G towers in Denver?
side note: 4g speeds are fine, standard 5mbps down and .8 mbps up.
Can you guys help me out???
THanks in advance!
I doubt it's the radio since flashing the stock tar through odin reflashes the radio. Have you tried samsung's dialer code low-level factory reset? It fixed my gps after a month of it not working . Type *#767*3855# in dialer like a regular phone number. WARNING: There is NO prompt and this will LITERALLY wipe your phone clean including the programming (Hands-Free Activation will start after boot-up).
Ok i'll try that... it wont wipe the sdcard though right?
i see a ton of youtube vids testing wifi and 3g. seems mine is the slowest around and cant figure out why. if im on wifi or 3g i get 1500kbps. doesnt matter which i use. i get my full 18 mbps speeds if i test with my laptop but again not with this phone.
any clue as to what the hell?
running stock rooted rom.
Same here
Yeah, I'm getting the exact same thing. First had an issue where my wifi would be in a permanent cycle of scanning, connecting, disconnected. I found a post saying it was an issue with the wap_supplicant file and that forcing it back to an older version (which was pulled from an old CM 6 alpha build) would resolve it. Tried that, and now my wifi isn't cycling anymore (so that's fixed) and can actually connect to my wifi, but now my data speed goes to almost nothing after trying to do anything with data other than running a speed test.
EX: reboot phone
run speed test 3 times, each time giving 11 Mbps down and 786 Kbps up (which is what it should be at on the low end but I'm happy with it).
go to the market, search for an app (don't download anything), go to the web, do a google search
now data is slow
run speedtest 3 times, each time get approx 900 Kbps down and 786 Kbps up
reboot and the same thing just keeps happening again and again.
Stock ROM, rooted but nothing else (other than the older wap_supplicant).
If someone can find a solution to this that'd be great!
Hi,
My internet speed is okay I speedtested in on both of my android devices and laptop. (Nexus 7, T-mobile Samsung Galaxy SII)
Download speed is 10mbps + /sec
It runs youtube,netflix, etc well and does not have to buffer.
But both devices have the same problem which is the download speed on google play is just so slow.
It is about 5-50 kbps/sec
It took almost 10 minutes just to update google chrome.
I only have this problem with the wifi in my house, in the other places it seem to be okay.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you.
Update just test at a coffee shop its around 1-2mbps / sec to download apps
but at home still 5-50kbps.
Anyone?
No idea what would be causing this but if you look for an Aroma flashable zip called "pimp my ROM" (its available in the general android apps section of xda) it has some networking tweaks that may speed things up for you.
Happening today to me as well, never before though since I have owned the N7.
Yes I would say this is pretty recent, started happening to me probably a month ago to my galaxy s ii
I mean even with when it is okay (not with my own wifi at home) it can't seem to go faster than 1mbps /sec while it used to be able to.
Other apps and everything are working fine tho. Download some 6mbps file on the browser took me about 2 seconds.
Just the Google Play that has this problem. still can't seem to go higher than 50kbps /sec.
I'm downloading Nova 3 right now and it probably take at least 20 hours+

Not real sure but if you flash Franco Fransisco's latest kernel you will have faster dl speeds from playstore. Its in his log and its true. Definitely sped my dls up. I realize youre trying to determine why its different at your place vs others but this is what came to my mind right off as his op states it and its worked wonders for me. Hes a really great kernel developer.:thumbup:
Grouper/CNA 3.6.6/Franco r16
Tried all methods above, didn't seem to help.
I also did try clear data on google play and google framework but didn't help either.
Like I said the browsing speed is fine and everything only the google play speed when you download / update apps.
