[INVESTIGATION] Slow Wireless Tether Speeds - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi folks, I have a question that I'd like to investigate that a few people have mentioned but has not really been discussed in detail as far as I know.
In Samsung based ROMs, the WiFi mobile hotspet tethering from the Settings menu works, but is very slow. Much slower than using the phone itself. See results below. If I use the Android Wifi Tether app, it appears to have fairly similar results.
In CyanogenMod, I get full speed tethering like I'm used to with other phones. I get the same or very similar speeds on attached PC or on the phone itself.
So far Known Sollutions with full speed on wireless tether (will update based on feedback). Let's see if we can figure out what's causing this issue with Samsung ROMs and/or find ROM/s configurations that work correctly.
CyanogenMod 6.x (with JL2 Modem)
At least from these tests, Samsung ROMs provide consistantly slower results while WiFi tethering. Perhaps more testing needs to be done but this jibes with what I've been noticing. Anyone else have similar results?

Well i think it depending on what wifi driver you use.
I always had full speed when i did use it.

Are you referring to the wireless driver on the computer? Because I don't think that's a factor. I've done tests on different systems (Windows 7 and Ubuntu) and different ROMs and results are consistent.
Or is their some "wifi driver" on the phone that can be changed other than the modem?

Are you using JPY? Also, are you sure you are measuring with consistent units (bits/bytes).
I don't think it has to do with wifi drivers though. Stuff like this could come down to a I/O (or process) scheduling/prioritisation issue.
Can you consistently replicate better performance in Cyanogenmod?

I'm going to post some speed tests, back in a bit I do really want to get to the bottom of this.
IDK if it's a modem issue, but in order to get both 850 and 1900 and good GPS, I really don't have much choice besides JL2 as far as I know.

First post updated with my speedtest results.
At least from these tests, Samsung ROMs provide consistantly slower results while WiFi tethering. Perhaps more testing needs to be done but this jibes with what I've been noticing. Anyone else have similar results?

You know there is a wifi driver on the phone? Has nothing to do with your modem.

[COMPARISON] Speedmod or Super Optimized Kernel

2 kernels for galaxy s froyo has recently intrigued me, namely [KERNEL][OC-UV-TINYRCU-BFQ-RAMZSWAP] Super Optimized Kernel (4_2 STABLE) (2010-10-19) by laststufo, and [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 341MB RAM [K7 Test] [I1.2 Stable] by hardcore.
This is the speedmod kernel
and this is the super optimized kernel
I know speedmod sets the minimum clock speed to 250/300/500 depending on which one you flash and includes some fixes from voodoo and also the ULK, while the super optimized kernel includes ramzswap which decreases ram usage virtually, while adding the same implementations such as voodoo fixes and ULK.
So which one is better in your opinion? Do state your reasons.
-PS: I didn't really understood the meaning of Hz but now i kinda do thanks to Bos$. The 250/300/500 is not minimum clockspeed.
None of which. I prefer YA-OK, which gives me the most snappy feeling with a slight OC/UV that does not degrade system stability or battery life.

AFAIK, SpeedMod doesn't set the minimum clock speed like what you said. Read the thread for more info.
I would go for SpeedMod, haven't tried the other one yet.

well, here's mine for the day:
loads of emails, about 8 blutetooth phone calls, combination of 3g, wifi etc. i think the key is using superpower app which really makes a huge difference. mine is set to enable data every 30mins for 3 mins. also using BLN and noLED.
but most important is i've never had a crash or freeze with this combination of rom, kernel and baseband:

Sorry.. could U state exactly which lagfix U used in ULF?
There's 2 overkills.. JFS and EXT4.
I used JFS overkill and has freezes twice and moved down to JFS advanced.
I don't really like ya-ok. Looks like a more basic version of super optimized kernel.

Don't just look, feel it
Thx to tokyo, it's my fav kernel now.
Probarly the best kernel out there
Came from SpeedMod kernel from Hardcore, which is also extremely well functioning (I1.2 stable verison). However, on my SGS, the YA-OK kernel is way faster and the feel of the phone is simply astonishing.
I'm on DOC's 7.6.2 (WXJPA) and with adv. ext4 lagfix + IOsched tweak. Phone is truly flying and finally faster than I can press the buttons - awesome!
Can't say much about battery for YA-OK, but with Hardcore's SpeedMod my SGS typically lasted 2 days (best 2,5 day). And that is push email (work and gmail), 3G on, no wifi, no gps, no bt.
Let's see how this YA-OK will do on battery? I'll report back later on...
So far - extremly well done work Zenkinz

I'm using Speedmod K7-300Hz and with lagfix voodoo. (because of battery life)
There seems be a little laggy on my phone, I may think about other kernel, like YA-OK.
But battery lif is what I concern about.
Please let us know how about YA-OK on battery. Tks!
I've jumped to ya-ok, tried all the optimized kernels available. ya-ok feels the most smooth and balanced out, of course that's just me. you guys try it for yourself! lol
can't test battery yet until tomorrow
ps. shouldn't really post this in dev though.

YA-OK is a winner for me at the moment

[KERNEL][KB1]OverStock v1.3 341MB, Voodoo Sound, Color, Lagfix, BLN 4/2/2011

This was made at the request of fellow XDA member/co-worker Rockasama. I showed him what I was doing on the Vibrant and he wanted something like it on his Captivate.
This kernel should be used just like a stock I897 kernel. All the same modem rules apply. What you get is a fast, efficient, and simple non OC'd kernel. Current testing shows mid 1700 to low 1800 Quadrant scores and 14's in Linpack. He's been running it for a day now and everything seems to be working. I don't have a Captivate so he's my guinea pig right now. As I make updates to my Vibrant kernel look for those to be ported over here.
Includes:
Version 1.3
Voodoo sound v7
Version 1.2
Voodoo sound v6
Version 1.1
Working Voodoo sound v4 with no issues in call quality
Version 1.0
Voodoo Sound v4 (Make sure to grab the Voodoo Control App from the market to fully utilize this feature)
Voodoo Color
Voodoo Lagfix
CIFS
BLN (Needs neldar's BLN Control app from the market, or grab the pay version for some sweet blinking action and more)
FPS cap removed(turn screen off once before running Quadrant to see it)
341MB Memory
Based on KB1 I897 Source
Use this at your own risk. Always make a backup before flashing. I would also recommend using neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher from the market to backup your current kernel.
I would like to thank the following people for making this possible:
Viralblack for the boot image PNG
morfic for all the help and making time to answer my questions
supercurio for all the Voodoo magic he has worked on SGS devices
neldar for the great BLN patch and Market app to use it
Download, Flash, and Enjoy!
OverStock-I897-KB1-v1_3.zip
Updated 3/12/2011
Look for updates and fixes to arrive on Monday evenings.
Messed around yesterday trying to make the kernel work on any modem. Not much success... I'll keep trying as I get time.
Downloaded.
I'll check this out over the weekend.
Thanks.
Trying it now.
For those that said, it'll take at least a couple of weeks to get a modified kernel out after the source drop, eat your words
Thanks SOOO much for working on this the past week or more, it has been rocking my battery time and speed. If you guys and gals aren't aware, this vibrant kernel version has been getting all the good press over on their forums!
Glad to have you with us over here cmenard!
First run of quadrant after reboot was 1328, second run 1771, third run 1812. This is a bit odd, because under the old setup of KB1 with voodoo lagfix injected by supercurio himself, Quandrant was alway hovering around 1550, never varying.
Addressable memory is upped to 341MB as advertised. Voodoo Control app recognizes the kernel. BLN , I don't use right now.
Great work. Will keep this kernel around until something comellingly better shows up. Any chance on adding OC/UV options to this?
P.S. - I guess the Quadrant score bump on second and third runs might have been due to turning the screen off after first run, resulting in FPS cap removal. I also like the OverStock boot logo.
Going to download and try this out. Thank you for your work on this.
NICE! Will take it for a spin this weekend!
Very interesting. I'm going to have to try this out over the weekend.

what modem is recomended with this kernel?
Sounds like the audience chip is not getting used. Probably incomplete Samsung code. Can anyone that built from previous i897 Samsung sources guide the OP on what to add to invoke the audience chip logic. Since he is from the Vibrant camp, this is likely a new issue for him.

Thanks for the feedback. We did our testing on Serendipity with it's included I9K modem. That was one of my concerns, was using the Voodoo sound with the Captivates unique sound architecture. I'll see if Rockasama wants to nuke his phone and run Cognition with the KB1 modem and we can start narrowing this down.

Any A501 ICS roms whcih support 3G?

just wondering if any ICS roms exist that support 3G yet. Alot of the reading that i have done around the internet is saying No, but some of these posts are over 3 weeks old and alot happens in 3 weeks here
Cheers.

The answer is yes.
One you will find at tegraowners. But it's ify-ify on a 501 (3g drops, display freeze OC/UV issue and slow GPS)
Another is currently in work (I can verify 3g, gps and wifi works), but it just started development from google source. We should have a good working version soon I hope.

One would suppose doing a +25mv across all frequencies might fix it, but without knowing how the mainboard distributes power, it'd be 50/50. As in PC mainboards, you can supply different voltage to processor, memory, and gpu. I would guess maybe the acer mainboard might be similar?
But the 3g dropping connection every couple minutes isn't good. Also given the fact the wifi and 3g run at the same time, seems a waste of resources. Of course it's still early in development (3g internal) so maybe the issues will eventually get worked out.
Another things that worries me, is when you have built-in OC functions, and then add System Tuner to adjust voltages, makes me wonder which has priority. In my mind, you should only have 1 OC/UV app running at any given time.

If he's undervolting, then restoring to stock voltages should be enough.

Official ROMs automatically disable the 3G connection when WiFi is enabled. Clearly more work is needed there.

Yeah, but without source ....cough...cough, One can only guess what voltage changes are made to other areas besides CPU frequencies. Also, I believe the default settings are probably UV already. But, we shall never know

Veno

This thread is to showcase before and after speed increase/decrease that you may get from using either one of the Kernels that have this implemented..
I request you do the following..
1: State your Rom
2: State your Kernel
3: State your before speed
4: program used to verify speed
This thread is not a Q&A thread..
It is also not a thread about which is the best Kernel to use..
It is a thread that the developers can refer to to get an idea whether it is worth while to implement "Veno" and or any other Wireless coding to help improve input & output of our devices and the wireless chips/programming that supports them..
I will quote ricardopvz.. if he does not mind.. (Ricardo.. PM me if you have a problem with this)
Wifi is definitely better with test16. Where I had 36Mbps, now I have 54Mbps.

wifi bluetooth etc untouched
Before veno and after veno no difference at all in fact in most speed tests veno got slightly less but then seemed a little quicker in other respects eg browsing at times so the tests did not help me make a definative decision.
I really don't know what to think on this but I would like to see more improvements like this and see our kernels and all round speed improve
Sorry in advance for any spelling mistakes AOKP still has a borked autocorrect and my spelling lacks in every respect lol

As you can see time and server can have an influence on the results, so you can't just do one measurement before and one after to make a conclusion.
Yes, I am having this thought too..
Was going though test programs yesterday..
At this stage "ping" can only be the true medium you can test this.
Or using a samba drive attached to your WiFi network and download upload the same file and different kernel settings using a monitor program to get average speeds..
As using results from multi pads connected to the internet brings too many variables into the data..
i.e..users downstream internet speed once it leaves the local network..
What we really want is "local" WiFi to pad increases.. as its the tweaking of this that will allow for incremental increases (hopefully) of the user experience in the downstream leg of the connection.

4.2.2 roms and 5ghz 300mbit connections

Am I the only one that can't connect my N10 @ 300mbit on 5ghz with the newer ROMs (Paranoid Android excluded)? I've tried Liquid, Carbon, PAC, etc - Paranoid is the only build with support. All others max out at 130. 300mbit is important if streaming from the NAS (main purpose of my tablet). Hopefully some of the devs will read this. I have an Asus rtn-66u. Tried different (lower channels), channel width, legacy/n only, you name it. PA passes with flying colors - help?
The actual speed is no where near 300 mbps anyway so it shouldn't matter. I haven't seen the Nexus 10 able to pull more than a stable 40~ mbps even if you get within 5 feet and line of sight of the router with your hands out of the way and the antennae of both devices lined up with each other. The wifi in these tablets is just that bad.
A standard compressed 1080p movie is usually a total of 20 mbps anyway, and a full bluray version is normally 30 mbps of data I think.
The link speed should still be able to be reported as 300 if it is using both antenna? I'm just wondering if something was overlooked on these other roms that PA gets right. I guess I could compare real world ftp vs the seperate ROMs and report back.
OK. Carbon ROM @130mbit on 5ghz 500mb file, max ftp 6100Kb/sec.
PA @ 300mbit 5ghz same 500mb file, ftp was 7200Kb/sec. Just one test, should be done at least seven times, but 1Mb/sec is a difference. Back with PA.
The main question is does it make that big of difference? I mean I can stream the 1440p timescapes video over my 2.4 wireless n router at 65mbit and it looks just as great as if it was on the tablet itself...
At 130 you should be able to do about anything...
I dont know Mabey I just don't understand...

Do you stream using ftp or dnla/smb? Wish I could figure out NFS to get it working.
Either way, where did the 300mbit go?
My Nexus connects on the 5 GHz band just fine, wifi shows 270 Mbps link speed, and a quick test I just did got me 12.200 kbps in download (this is with an emule client also running on the same line).
Rom is latest MrRobinson's AOKP PUB with KTManta kernel.
Tried Mr Robinson's aroma aokp with ktmanta kernel. Wifi performance was pretty much half (maxed at 3000Kbytes/sec). Connection was reported as 130mbit. What channel settings are you using on your router?
Flashed back to PA and I'm back to 7000Kbytes+.

It's on auto; right now using channel 44.
I must say wifi analyzer only shows my access point, so there are probably no collisions, and the router is about a meter from me (but with two monitors in the line of sight).

What channel width? 20, 20/40, or 40? Back on AOKP trying every combination.
Hard for me to believe your tablet is reporting 270. Picture or it didn't happen j/k.
*pulls hair out*

My router does not have such a setting, only "up to 54 Mbps", "up to 130 Mbps" and "up to 300 Mbps".
But looking at 802.11n specs I would imagine that means it is using a channel width of 40.
Well, thanks for trying to to help. Tried the lower channels. Even tried turning encryption off (open system). 130 seems to be the ceiling for me on these other ROMs. I really liked the feel of Robinson's AOKP.

Here you are, a screenshot showing my wifi connection, and the speed test.
It's in Spanish, but I guess you will be able to understand it.
(I've masked out identifiable data).

Thanks for the info.
Just don't understand why stock and PA seem to function differently.
*workaround* When I am on USA region WiFi, 5ghz only reaches 130mbit. When I "lie" and tell the ROM I am in Brazil (lol) , I can obtain the full 300 Mbit connection. Maybe you can pass this onto the other devs. Must be a bug.
Pardon me, but how do I change the country setting ?

Try a different kernel. franco.Kernel specifically has a newer WiFi driver which may or may not help out with speeds.
I have a NETGEAR R6200 (like 800mbit or something advertised speeds over some non-standardized kind of WiFi lol). Nexus 10 is only reporting 162mbit when connected over 5GHz, but I'm using rasbeanhjelly + Trinity (TX34).
