With everyone talking about the data speeds, can someone please explain this... - Atrix 4G General

I don't know a lot about all this datta speed talk. So I ran the speedtest app and this is what I got: Download=3210kps and Upload 317kps
Is this good or bad...it's not on wifi either

A senior member should be able to use the search function. There are tons of post about this.

the download is good, however the upload speed is capped. My nexus one on ATT had similar download speeds as you point out but my upload speeds were typically 1200 - 1500 kbps (quite a bit higher than your example). Also, IIRC, the ping time was significantly lower on my nexus one than my Atrix.

A lot of people are complaining about slow upoad speeds; what you're seeing there.
ATT is somewhat throttling the upload a d as a result,the whole internet browsing experience slows down a little.

What I dont get: why throttle the people you KNOW will be running these speed tests? We're the geeks! Who else proactively buys a 4G phone right when it comes out other than to mess with it and test its speed?
Their actions continue to baffle the hell out of me.

Here is to hoping that AT&T is secretly reading these thread and just uncaps the speeds lol haha

Call me stupid, but what improvements would it bring us?
That's some crazy ass upload speed you have sir. As far as improvements, The updated base Android UI should be something to look forward to in itself. I am sure as well as numerous speed and stability tweaks and enchancements. Here i found this on the web..
Confirmed new features:
Support for WebM video playback
Improved copy–paste functionalities
Improved social networking features
Unconfirmed new features:
Android Market music store
Media streaming from PC library
Revamped UI
Support for bigger screens with up to Wide XGA (1366×768) resolution
New 3D Games support including new Marketplace area for gaming
Use of mksh for /system/bin/sh
Support for video calls
Support for WebP image files
Support for Google TV
If anyone esle has anything to add please feel free! I am curious to what else there may be...
Hehehe, thanks! That was on my office T1 connection.
as far as the improvements, those seem fairly decent. i didn't realize they were gonna do a UI refresh. time for some research!

Nah, that's looks about right for T1. Docsis 3 cable or a fiber optic connection could easily do speeds up in that range.

This gentleman speaks the truth.
T3/DS3 I'm sure they call it a t1 in his office because it is a Tier 1 network and they are ignorant (not calling them dumb or anything like that, just don't know any better, not meant to be an insult at all). Judging by the ping it is not docsis3 cable. Cable easily goes this fast finally, lol, but pings are much higher, 40's maybe.
oh yeah and on topic, WOOT for html5 video and images.
And woot for sense-like copying and pasting lol, not that we've been missing out.
Lol! you guys are all right. i'm thinking of our old connection. we just recently upgraded to a Cogent fiber line. My bad!

... that speed test server is less than 50 mi away thats why his ping is 3 ms. they are prbly on a tier 2 connection thats why the ping is so low because it doesnt have to travel through 6 different dns pools to get to the speed test server

that was "back in the day." T1 is really just a name for a type of circuit. back then a T1 was 1.544Mbit, but these days they are faster.

When I test my speeds on speedtest (with the closest server), I get 120ms or so. And same ping on almost all COD servers.
So back on topic for a second when is gingerbread being released or at least the sdk
studies show that most computer errors are actually iD10t errors in over 90% of all cases.
So back to the topic, I been reading that we could see gingerbread as soon as Christmas. I just hope the update for the Evo won't be to far behind!! I'm also looking forward to Google releasing it's own OS without the other companies twiking the phones.

Using a Playstation 3 with wireless tether

Ok guys I used search but haven't found a clear cut way to do it. Unfortunately I was laid off this past week. So now it looks like I'll be spending more time on the playstaion as a reward ;-) could someone please post a way to have the playstation 3 recognize the signal of wireless tether or any other tethering apps.

You'll still have a high transfer rate... but your ping is going to suck, it will still be laggy.
I have it on good authority that Wireless Tether for Root is getting Infrastructure mode very soon. I emailed the dev asking for that with a feature request and he mentioned he's working on it right now for the SGS series and had asked me if i wanted to test for him.
Hold tight, it's coming soon...

You mean to tell me all this time this version of google's wifi tether worked with ps3?
Im gonna try it soon as I get home,i went back from froyo and Syndicate to stock DI18 just to use MobileAP on my newly jailbroken ps3.
Youre better off using another carrier.
On speedtest, sprint was the only one who had latency over 40ms. It was on 174ms ping. Second place was verizon with 40ms ping and surpisingly att and tmo were practically the same results at 34 and 37ms respectively....and tmo had the fastest dl speed at 800 kilobytes/s

To everyone claiming "no lag"... download speed is one thing, upload speed and ping are two others. There's also a lot you may not notice but your opponents will. If people can see a difference between local wireless and wired, I'm sure they can when it is your phone...
Bonsai's v2.0 supports infrastructure mode, so give that ROM a try.

I was SO high when I did this with my Xoom ...!

I was surprised the GPS couldn't get a speed lock, though- there were some 10 good satellites in view. Either it needs an internet connection (which I didn't think it would for speed, vs. mapping) or the logic figures you shouldn't be going > 99MPH and filters it out as a bad datapoint).
Somehow, I knew this was going to be about altitude.
What app is that?
sweet. Thanks for sharing. I've never been able to get gps lock in a plane with my phone, even by a window. That's cool that the Xoom can.

Not all countries have speed limits like that In Germany you will get honked at if you go less than 99 MPH ha ha. It didn't work for me when I was on a plane though.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of "throw out this data point if it's an outlier" (i.e., too high or even negative, due to errors in the received GPS data) for better reliability.
But since installing the Pro version, I see there's a setting for "Max Speed" which has an option for "Airplane" (600MPH), so it was apparently the GPS Test application just not working over 100MPH.
I'll try it again on my flight back home from work this week; stay tuned!
This is the way back to work tonight; I guess that's a pretty decent speed for a 737:

So the one showing the speed is the paid version and all works well? Is 600 the maximum speed it will handle? I'm not planning a supersonic flight (we no longer have Concorde) but it would be good to know!

According to the Dev's docs, yeah- but I also wonder if some of that is due to the limitation of either the calculations or of even the GPS chip itself (the speed of the updates). But you're right- I think even a balls-out 747 is capable of only Mach .92 (~615 MPH) so I'm pretty sure we're gonna stay under that limit (unless we're on a long-haul craft trying to beat weather!)
Blah blah blah. All I wanna know is how you were still high after getting thru security.

You must have the paid GPS Test (or another GPS app); in the first picture I had 10 sats being used for fixes (all "green bars") but the for-free app itself didn't support speeds > 100MPH (by design).
Didn't get speeds in-flight 'till I'd upgraded; that's what's being shown in the 2nd pic.

>>SPEED Test - Atrix vs. iPhone 4<<

So I tested the data Speeds of both phones (Tested in Seattle, WA area).
iPhone4 done over wifi?
eerm.... i get the feeling that iPhone test was done via WiFi. I don't even think the iPhone 4 is capable of 14Mbps downloads on anything BUT WiFi, seeing as i think that's into 4G territory... and the uploads seem quite high for 3G, too.
As for the Atrix speed tests.... we know.... the Atrix doesn't have HSUPA enabled yet... but supposedly by the end of April it should.
