I am downloading now one rom and it's coming down reeeealy slow. I don't know if it's the hosting site or my isp. Any assistance would be appreciated.
It's my ISP. It's pretty bad when I have a 7Mb connection and 3g on the phone is faster and doesn't stall as much.

I installed the MR1 update a few weeks ago hoping to have better performance, signal, edvo, and to be able to use vz navigator. I learned a few things. First VZ navigator was not bad but it does have a monthly charge and is reliant on data. I really didn't think about tomtom but I decided to purchase the software when I read about it on here. I like the internet sharing with the higher speeds but once again a monthly charge. I now know that with DCD I can access my GPS better with tomtom and I can use internet sharing without the additional cost. However I do have a couple of questions.
Will I see better performance with DCD?
Will I get the same speeds with internet sharing? Currently I am getting 700 tp 1000 Kbps tethered using verizon connection manager. I want to try the wifi router using the phone and I think it will connect better without all the verizon hassle. Any Ideas?
Maybe some others can add on the data speed....my point of view I was stock (before the MR1) and being a tech a custom rom is always better than stock and DCD rom was. Just like WinXP is overloaded with stuff you do not need so was the OEM rom for the 6800...
In all areas for me the performance is better than OEM...I travel with my company so the GPS tt7 is great thx to two members here, data rates, the ICS to my laptop in the airport is excellent, etc...as well as other stuff. I have a verizon PC cell card and I found that the ICS speed from my device is just as good and better at times...
my two cents...
Ok, thanks what about changing the PRI. I have read that you only had to flash to the new rom amd leave the radio and PRI in place and use agps. any thoughts?

I have a T-Mobile HD2 (was the first person in line and got it first here in Nashville). And out of the box it was able to tether to my cradlepoint in my truck on the way home. I finially called tech support last night and here is what they said.
"It works and they dont offer supprt for tethering."
Well, if I use my mobile browser and do a speed test, I get up to 3 megs down, which is 3G and great... But if I tether or use ICS or the WiFi Router functions, I am now only getting 300k up and down. Is there some setting to give the tethering the same speeds and just useing the phone to surf the web?
I have read alot here and even used the "dearmasfamily Internet Speed Boost" cab and still the tethering is very slow compared to just useing the phones browser. Any ideas or is this just a sad issue for my phone?
The stock rom did this, I have tried other roms, and am currently using the Energy ROM which came out April 1st.
Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

My ADSL connection can do 13Mb download & 1Mb upload, all computers achieve (also on wireless) this using either speedtest.bbmax.co.uk or speedtest.net. However my HD2 can only achieve 3.5-4Mb max using the same sites, upload is represented correctly. It seems to fly up very quickly then back down, for upload it takes a few seconds to check the speed for both sites. I used Opera 10 (Flash Lite 3).
Also on HSDPA it can only do ~0.5Mb but when tested in dongle it achieves ~2.5Mb, upload is represented correctly (1Mb) for both Vodafone and O2.
I've also tried the wireless N hack but this hasn't improved things.

There is no solution. HD2 performance on WI-FI are just bad. People don't care. The only justification they can give to this is "it's just a phone". Amen.

That sucks, my mates Omnia is also pretty bad on WiFi so I assume this is a WinMo problem?
Also I meant just O2 for 0.5/2.5 HSDPA thing, just checked Vodafone and got 3.5Mb / 1Mb.
Also doesn't the "it's just a phone" thing kinda wear off when you cross the £500 mark?

I don't know. Maybe it's WinMo but I don't have other Windows Phones to make comparisons.

I agree but these are the people that appear here when you criticize their toy.
Maybe enabling wifi-n will speed it up. I'd at least give that a try.
Also, I did a test, and I get exactly what I get on my laptop which is 5644kbps
I have been having issues with HSDPA on my HD2 for some time. I am with T-mobile UK... what I have found is that when I hard boot/reflash a new rom... HSDPA is full speed. However something triggers what I can only think is a GPRS only mode, at first I thought I had installed apps that affected networking but I don't believe that is the case now.
Yesterday for example I was in a shielded building and had no reception whatsoever... when I came out I could not connect to T-Mobile data so restarted my HD2 a few times then setup data again.... I am connected now but internet connectivity is really slow, I generally stream music but I can't do this and I may as well forget about YouTube.
I have spoken to T-Mobile about this in the past and they said there are no restrictions on my account. I also know (havng proved it before) that by going through the hassle of a hard reset/new rom flash HSDPA with work again.
I wonder if this is IP related but I am not sure how to check the configuration on Winmo. I also am unsure how/where to do a speedtest (Speedtest.net needs an updated version of flash).
Managed to get it sorted out.... sent the Tmobile settings from the Tmobile website to my phone. Then in my ROM (OMEGA) there is a enable 3G mode.... This seems a bit flaky to be honest... Anyway I selected the new Tmobile internet settings option in Connections, then flicked the 3G setting in connection manager on and off a few times...
In the status bar, rather than "G" and a small "G" with reception meter both show as "H" (this will differ to the rom you have probably).... main thing is streaming is back again

I've generally found 3G to be faster than WiFi and even the ping in some situations on WM phones.
my phone also gets around 2 to 3Mbps on the speed test with the wifi.. 700 or so with hspda and 500 or so with 3g.
isnt this the max rate of the memory card? perhaps the phone itself is slowing down the results?

3G speed depends heavily on the mast tech level and how many people are using it.
Can someone give me a recomendation one which rom to download where internet sharing through usb will work.. straight away from flashing?
If there aren't any.. how about a rom version that'll have wifi tethering working straight out of the box?
I want to flash a new rom because Im using DC and I seem to be dependant on an un updated version of wifi tether and overclocking/underclocking seems buggy on this version.
I'd like to be able to use the internet through some means without tethering over heating my phone( and underclocking seems the solution) but at the same time I seem to be only able to get a maximum of 40kbps as is
So I'm in the market... I figure internet sharing through usb might be a better solution...
Any comments on how fast it works or if it heats up the phone like wifi and drains the battery faster then it charges it???
On a seperate note.. does wifi tethering mess up the initialization of the battery so that it seems like it has less life or says full when its not.. or have I just been really putting the beating on it?
PDANet works without even needing to root.
downloading now... Although I did notice a comment that says doesn't work on gnu/linux I will find out.
You can always download a new ROM directly off your phone.. I usually do it so I don't have to transfer it. I e-mail myself the link, go to it on my phone, download, move it to root, nandroid backup, wipe, flash, tah dah.
very good point
http://www.humans-enabled.com/2009/12/how-to-tether-your-verizon-droid-as.html
I followed these instructions in the video at the bottom...
It works...as long as my phones screen is on.. and then again it wants to go ridiculously slow at times and act worse than dialup...
I've noticed the same thing even through the tethering... is the sprint network extremely bogged down at the moment or is it just me???
Or let me guess... my bill was due yesterday and they are screwing with my data when I need the net to make the money to pay the bill
Aloysius 2.1 is my favorite, I've tried a lot of the others, it seems fastest and wifi tether works great
I flashed an Old DamageControl Rom to get a different PRI, then I flashed back to RegawMOD 2.1t which is my daily ROM, and now I don't even need wifi tethering, just connect to PC via USB, select internet sharing, and away I go! Best method for highest speeds.

Are you talking about the one with the verizon PRI
Edit. When I replied to this, the site was still the old one and once I was done it looked completely different,
Ok I have my HD2 with MAGLDR 1.11, radio 2.15.50.xx, and I'm currently running RafDroid 2.1 Android with Simple Mobile. My download and upload speeds a couple days ago were great DL being around 4Mbps and UL being around 1.5 Mbps. But since yesterday my DL has been around 0.10Mbps and UL around 0.20 Mbps. I don't get why its this slow and I definitely don't know why my upload speed is faster than my download speed. If anyone using Simple Mobile could look in your build.prop and share with me what your settings are for DNS n such I would greatly appreciate it. Or anyone that has input please help I'd really appreciate it.

A couple of things...
I use simple mobile as well and sometimes get those wacky low numbers as well... My build sometimes locks on Edge and it wont go to 3G so I just reboot it...
Right now, my APN settings just read Name: simple mobile APN: Simple. I dont use anything in proxy and port... Then i have the MMS settings...
This works fine for me but like I mentioned, sometimes (not often) i get low readings. A reboot fixes it.. This has only happened to me on the Nexus One HD2 build by tytung.. on MDJ, it has never happened.
The other thing to remember is that 3G is a shared service so someone else may have been using the service and gobbling up the bandwidth...
I am in atlanta and very typically get between 4-5.8MB down which is awesome... i live near emory and when class starts, my download speeds go down to 2mb or so because of the students using the bandwidth...
hope this helps

I couldn't find the Simple Mobile DNS settings, but you may want to search the carriers site or call. Sometimes the bandwidth gets throttled by the carrier; there is a download limit.
