Hi all, i've recently upgraded my radio rom and os to radio rom 1.41 and os to wm6 now i know that with the tytn breeds i.e mda vario,tytn,spv M3100 u can get speeds of up to 1.8meg from 3.5g. I'm on t-mobile uk using a debranded spv m3100 the phone show's up the H sign and when i click on it it say's t-mobile (Hsdpa) but my speeds have been slower then 3g for the past couple of days sometimes http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed say's that my connection is only 120kb/s other times it's 300kb/s. once i've had 895kb/s from the connection, at the moment it's showing up on the phone 4 full bars and the h to say i'm using hsdpa & getting 160kb/s with 3g i've had speeds of 333k/bs , other times my signal strengh drops right down to 1 bar and switches between hsdpa & 3g like every 2 minutes or so, i thought that once u've got a hsdpa enabled phone & the area where your using it with your network is hsdpa enabled u should be able to get 1.5meg (t-mobile uk max hsdpa speeds) or is there other things to consider, i have got hsdpa enabled on both the phone & my account (on w&w pro) & the mast for the network is right in front of my house & it is hsdpa enabled for my area so that should'nt make any differnce surly, hope somebody can explain how come my connection on both my phone & laptop is up & down more times then a tart's knickers instead of staying still. thx my spl for my phone is 2.10ipro & the phone is sim unlocked & supercid aswell

Well 1.5mg is ambitious but 500 to 1000 is in reality more like it.
Less than 500 is not HSDPA. Have you enabled the HSDPA on the phone. It's off by default. Secondly there are cases reported where T-Mobile say it's enabled their end but isn't and it takes 2 or 3 calls to different folk before it really is.

Hi mike yes hsdpa is enabled on the phone as i've checked in htc-tweak what came with the rom i'm using and it does show the H on the screen also it show's up t-mobile (hsdpa) and i have rang up t-mobile to have it enabled and they said they would send me a service txt out but never recived that, and i've rang up twice and they keep saying that hsdpa is enabled do i need to ring them back up to make 100% sure that i have got enabled ? thx on one last note hsdpa is enabled as i've just done a test with http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed again and clicked on the 600 file and got a massive speed increase from when i last tried it, it was around 200 kb/s this time a stonking 905kb/s the second time i tried i got 1000kb/s does the speed vary @ times of the day as the 905kb/s & 1000kb/s is the very first time i've seen them sort of speeds from the connection, usally between 400 - 600 kb/s
I don't know if it's the upgrade of the radio rom,operating system or what now as I,ve just done another test with dslreports.com/mspeed and got a bloody low speed of 20kb/s no wonder web pages were taking about a minute to appear on screen and it's dropped right back to 3g and 2 bars in signal. Have I messed something up in the phone? for hsdpa to be like this? or am I going about it all the wrong way
1, hsdpa is enabled on the phone (it show,s up next to the networks name t-mobile hsdpa)
I have sethsdpa.exe /enabled in config.txt in windows on the phone and yes I do have SetHSdpa.exe in windows
3) is the version of the radio rom I use the problem that is 1.41.00.300 downloaded from xda itself thx again as I,m thinking 3,ve bricked the phone somehow
Your experience sound pretty much like mine. I am also using my M3100 now on T-Mobile. I have been informed that ordinary 3G will only give you highest speeds of approx 250kbps - 320 kbps so anything you are getting above that is HSDPA.
Also using dlsreports your results will vary quite a lot as the size of sample 600k to 1meg really isn't enough to give you an accurate reading. You should get something like IPDashboard or another gprs monitor with a graph and download a file from a known fast server preferably with low pings. Monitor that speed and see what it averages out as you're downloading it if you want an accurate idea of exactly what you're getting.
HSDPA is also dependent on usage, it doesn't matter if the transmitter is in your garden, if there are a lot of people using it then this will affect your speed.
speed does matter on where you are located and the number of channels available to your device's hsdpa chip. i do encounter the varying speed at the same location depending on the time of day no matter which device i used
thx all for the replys, i seem to have fixed it for some reason speeds have synced quite nicly now and staying still at between 950 kb/s - 1000 kb/s, if you wanna know what i did, i went into start,settings,connections usb to pc and unticked the box for advanced networking for activesync, rebooted the hermes as i was trying to remove the orange splash screen and cant get mtty.exe working as it says cant connect to usb port or something like that, so i rebooted the phone and decied to come to xda's website to find a answer and omg the web site tock about 0.1 sec to load instead of having to wait about 5 secs for it to load, so gonna do some more testing of the connection without the box ticked to see if it has settled down, if it has i'm gonna be laughing me face off and it's nearly as fast as my home broadband connection then as that's only 1meg what does that usb to pc advanced activesync do anyroad and why would that make any differnce to speeds over a usb connection? thx again

Oh I remember some info on here somewhere on the things you could do with Advanced USB to PC connection. However the general guidance here is do NOT check the advanced USB>PC connections box - basically this can screw up the active sync connection.
But, what possible connection this has to your HSDPA connection I don't know. Maybe it has nothing to do with it and it was just the re-setting that cleaned things out and improved the connection.
Anyway, your speeds now look pretty decent/good

Mike been using me laptop all day with my i dont know wht u can call it now spv m3100 or tytn over vpn back to the office so i can remote control the servers there and the connection has never gone down past 900kb/s always staying around 1meg, so it does look like the connection has stabled and i hope it stays like this , but i'm gonna lose it on wensday for a few days as i'm gonna be working in Norwich and cant get 3g or even a good signal for gprs where i'm going, nver mind at least starbucks has t-mobile hotspots which i have an account for, thx again, @ the moment a radio staion i'm listering to is buffering like hell over hsdpa, doesnt do it on the phone tho with resco radio :-( i know why that it is got vpn going, downloading email & chatting to the missues aswell as downloading some files from xda, no wonder it's slow lmao thx agian
I can confirm that unchecking the "Enable advanced networking" box *seems* to increase my speed, but I can't explain why. Ran 5 600k speed tests at dslreports.com with it checked, speed averaged 210kbit. Unchecked, rebooted, average went up to 621.
My wife and I both have Moguls and since we moved, we're trying to get by without any real home broadband since the $40 a month is a lot. We have been OK just using internet connection sharing on each of our laptops and using the EVDO we already pay for. But, cheap as we are, we wanted to use MagicJack through our EVDO ICS connection so we can get unlimited calling at home without using minutes.
The problem is that when I do speed testing, our download is between 200 and 500 kbps and the upload is a lot lower, as expected. We get between 70 and 150 kbps depending on the time of day and since the lower numbers are when we'd like to use the MJ, it is frustrating. Call quality is not good enough to hold a conversation when the speeds are low, but sometimes the call quality is definitely usable (local network congestion variability?).
Here's my noob question: is it possible to connect both of our Moguls at once through ICS to get better speeds (upload is the killer). I have tried it and looking at Win Task Mgr Networking tab it seems like one connection is chugging along while the other one just has little blips every few seconds. Is there any way to get them to actually work at the same time?
If not, is there anyone out there having good luck with a tethered Mogul, laptop, and magicjack? Also, can someone tell me if I'm really getting Rev-A speeds? How can I tell?
Thanks

What i would first do, is look into updating your Mogul. And it looks like you Carrier is Sprint. Ur PRL Could get a needed update, as well as your radio and PRI.
no you can not
Sorry to say that you can not do the 2 unit at a time to increase speed because you would actually have to bind the connections with MLP (multilink protocol) and also even if you could then the server at the other end must support that and nobody does that I know of. Sorry.
some of you know may know me, and i am letting you guys know now, i am deffinitely not a noob when it comes to this stuff.
anyways, im staying at a hotel in vegas, and i decided to tether my laptop instead of paying for wifi. its working really nice, but my tethering app says im geting 20+ mbs of download speed, and 2+mb of upload speed
im running JACS hero 1.8b4, overclocker at 527mb, and have a swap file at 128mb with 60 swappiness
now is it possible between the overclock and swap, that my tethering really is running that high? or is the app messed up.
Nope... don't think its possible to get that high speeds because as far as I know, 3G doesn't even support those speeds (in reality anyways). Overclocking and Swap should not affect internet speeds at all as they are two very different things (an old P3 500mhz can still have 20Mbits/2Mbits connection despite being very slow). The speed of your internet is determined by your provider not they phone. Don't know how you got those speeds, but make sure you're not accidentally paying for them, otherwise, enjoy your lightning speeds!
just go download a file from a web browser and see the download speed.
I'm so tired off hearing about numbers from stupid apps or even http based speedtests.
If your using the wifi tether for root user app the two numbers on the bottom are not your current speed but the amount of data you have downloaded and uploaded during your session. Otherwise make sure your wifi is not hooking onto something.
Hey everyone. I was just trying out how fast my HD2, on 3's network, can go I have attached a screenshot below. How fast can your phone's internet connection go?
Ps. Using your Data Connection, not WiFi
On o2, using the 1mb test, 2985kbps
edit: tried it again with the 3mb test... 3419kbps.
I've read (but cant remember where) that mobilespeedtest isn't all that reliable. I'll keep looking see if i can find a reference for that.
edit - i know this is a pc test, but heres the results using the 2 meg test. a factor of 10 out. (i have 10mb bb)
Yup mobilespeedtest.com just basically tells BS. Maybe it works if you're close to their server, but no idea how it's based.
Here I get results varying between 500kbps and 1200kbps, even on my PC with 25Mbps cable broadband. Still haven't found one that works reliably for mobiles. If I test from my own server I get about 2500kbps, which is my upload cap, so 3G is faster than that here but can't find how much...
HI, this is my problem.
i HAVE SUPER SLOW data transfers, in my house with 10mb conection, ever, the apps, or downloads never get more than 100kb ( the max ) and 50kb of average.
i fall slep, when i need to whait to download 3 or 4 ****ing mb...
Anyone, know why?
ITs the radio rom, or the version of android?
I have MUIUI-ROM and the lastest radio
I have this same issue, I don't know what to do. I really would like to have regular speeds and not have to wait to download a normal sized app.
Bump +1
I notice slow speeds especially when downloading from the market and it is the same whether I'm connected over wifi or cellular. Downloading from the market I get about 8kb/s downloads!
The odd thing is when I run a test with the Speedtest.net app I get this
WIFI
11.03 Mb/s down
1.10 Mb/s up
T-Mobile USA
3.45 Mb/s down
1.29 Mb/s up
I thought maybe this was a market issue, but I get very good market download speeds like 500 kb/s on my G1 and my wifes Eris, whether on Wifi or Cellular....
Would love to get to the bottom of this. My HD2 is pretty much flawless minus the slow data transfers....
finally, it's a market (app) problem?
I dont know, why need to wait 10 or 20 minutes to download 5 or 7mb...
on HDSPA, Wifi or whatever...
Bump
Having the same problem can anyone help?
The only build with which I've not experienced slow WiFi and data speeds is [Build][20.11.2010][NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.7 PPP+RMNET] (hastarin r8.2 with G-Sensor Fix) - you should try and see if that works for you.
