3g speeds

what kind of 3g speeds are you guys getting.... i'm only averaging about 350-400 kbps here in hawaii on stock rom.

We're lucky where I live...mobile speed test says: 4325kb/s...not the worst ever...lolol...and I get about that when I speed test while tethered...
~Jasecloud4

I only get 700-800kbps the couple times I tested mine.

228 kbps

What speed test utility do you use when you're tethered? mobilespeedtest.com is known to give wildly inaccurate (sometimes even impossible) results..

Hello Everyone,
I find if I use Opera Browser for www.mobilespeedtest.com I get realistic results.
If I use IE browser, I get some very unrealistic results.
Also, Read My Thread Here, I think we are being throttled but T-Mobile's network limiting the RWIN.
Even run the TCP/IP Analyzer yourself.
Thank you,
Monnie

700-800kbps pretty much always (but i'm in the middle of nowhere so I'm not surprised)

230 kbps in dallas TX. Every time i call them they say there's a outage i sip code blah blah blah. When i tell them im no using those towers they say well its the entire city....And there script is "we don't guarantee high speed internet as long as your able to connect" On my Nexus one i got 500kbs all the time...I don't know what to say but lease sprint hurry with EVO

600-700 kpbs depending where I'm at

HA you guys are all lucky im in CT and get 200kbs and max of like 230 lmao! horrible!

I just ran it again

TMOUS HD2 in Hsdpa
Test made in speedtest.net with IE mobile with Kumars rom
I have never got it that fast in a mobile in Brazil before, very pleased.
Connected to PC as modem, I get from 1000 to 4500, but this is a problem from TIM, I don't know why but they cannot limit my connection when connected to PC, normally it should be limited at 1Mbit for my plan.
Greeting Santroph

mine is waaaaaay faster at night than it is during the daytime. like 10x faster. in the daytime i linger around 100-200k at night i am upwards of 1200k

Miami, Florida is where the tests were run: Speak Easy speedtest when tethered (as speedtest.net doesn't like to work right ). On mobile I speedtested using dslreports speed test. Tests were run at 7:30pm. Hope this helps.

i get about 3500-6000 kbps with opera mini, and like 500-1200 kbps with opera 9 or 10

Sam here in fairfield county, CT. Im getting 126kbps in opera mobile...even though I have an 'H' icon on the task bar! PIE gives me unrealistic results, which never translates into real world usage speeds. im gonna be so jealous when the Evo 4G drops for sprint. Ive always gotten upwards of 2 or 3MB in my area with sprint's 3G service. I love my HD2, but tmobile's crappy, unstable data speeds, kinda brings down the excitement a few notices.

Is anyone trying to use the hd2 w/ the flex pay internet plan?
I'm paying $10 a month for unlimited internet. It worked fine on my unlocked iphone 3gs.

Ok cool, thanks...I just thought you were saying you had used speedtest.net, and I just cringe whenever I hear anybody referring to test results from there. Sometimes they're spot on, but sometimes they're flat out rediculous, and the results are all over the place...enough so for me to not be willing to guess which ones can be believed and which can't

Incredible 4G Speeds after Netarchy's rooted final OTA

Ok, so I've been getting pretty good speeds with my 4G before the OTA update, around 7-8ish Mbps. This is all taken from the same place, inside my house.
After the OTA, I tried some 4G, and I was SHOCKED!

Edit: Just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and it wasn't a fluke, I ran several more tests, the lowest score being just over 9Mbps. I'm thinking that either Sprint just flipped the "real" 4G switch, or somehow I got unthrottled 4G.

you suck.. lol
my best has been like 4Mbps.
that is with the Rooted leak though...

Niice, what kind of latency are you seeing?

I am also getting very good speeds, around 6mbps consistently while I could only get about 4mbps before in the same spot.

I'm kindof wanting to update to the 2.2 final roo just for that. I'm currently on BakedSnack 1.0
...hmm..
Really the only thing keeping me on this ROM is the sexy theme.

I just installed the OTA 2.2 update and have noticed a huge increase in 4G speed also.
I used to cap out at 5.5Mbps averaging 4. Now I cap out at 10.5 averaging 6-8.
This is a completely stock non rooted EVO.

Well, I'm not gonna go THAT far, I needs mah root! haha. I'm totally going to update now though, my battery lasts a good amount with 4G on all day. and I want it to go faster!

My speeds increased too. In King of Prussia, PA I maxed out at 4 Mbps. Now I max out at 7Mbps. I'm so angry that the Lehigh Valley doesn't have WiMax yet. That's where I live

Same story here. My previous high would be in the 4 - 5 Mbps range. Last night I pulled down 8.3 Mbps. I've had the same positive results regardless of what kernel I've been running, so I would have to think this is a result of the new wimax radio.

Can you keep the speed during actual usage?
Can you keep the speed during actual usage?
I'm on 'leaked' now and speed is the same as on .47 (around 6) but say on usb tethered and skype my real transfer is super low (very low quality picture). It was perfect on 2.1.
So is it just short 'high peak' to look cool on test? Any thoughts?

Im using FreshEvo 3.1 and I also saw better speeds (previous peak was 3-4, now pulling 8-9). If I remember correctly from reading a previous post about speeds, the more activity the faster your connection should be. I'm gonna be optimistic and say they DID turn on the real 4g switch along with the new updated wimax.

My speeds have gone way up too.I'm running Fresh 3.0.3w/the stock kernel.I'm actually pretty impressed.I live in upstate NY and figured when I got the phone I probably wouldnt see any 4g coverage for a year or so

We should tip this thread to Engadget if we get more confirmation

I haven't, but noticed while reading some other posts that speedtest isn't particularly accurate. I'll run some other tests next time I'm in the same area.

Why does everyone say this??? I watched my net usage in System Panel while I was doing my test and it's near spot on. It doesn't take your peak speed, but averages it.
I'm not trying to insult anybody. If there's something I'm missing on why the speedtest.net app isn't worth it, please enlighten me.

I don't really get it either, I'm out of 4g coverage atm but just ran some 3g tests using speakeasy and the numbers are about the same as what I've been getting from speedtest.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I used the speakeasy link here, which got the highest numbers for me at about 10.5-11Mbps depending on which server I chose.
I also use the Speedtest.net app and now get 6000 where I used to get 3500 - 4400.
Also tested using Xtremelabs speedtest app, am getting 6.5-9Mpbs now where I used to get 3.5-4.5.

Insanely fast HSPA+ speeds? Fluke or what?

So I was in downtown Myrtle Beach this evening which is like a ghost town in the winter and decided I would try some speed tests at mobilespeedtest.com. On doing 3, 5, and 7mb downloads I was getting insanely fast speeds. Any ideas? Did my phone cache the download? I was using the stock android browser and running CM7 b#55.
Thanks

If it was caching glitch then you would get much higher speeds than that. I think it could be legit. The best speeds I've seen ever.

It's a fluke, I've done it as well. The more you test it the faster it says your speeds are, the most accurate is the speedtest app on the market. That will give you true speed test results.

When I use the Speedtest.net app in the market my download speed is continually climbing, and never seems to max out. I also noticed that instead of saying UTMS or whatever it used to say it just says cell. This was a speedtest.net result from last night. I have seen it climb into the 8000s, but my sdcard was full of junk so I cleaned it out when I wiped for CM7. Here is my speed test app result which was done inside with about 3 bars HSPA+. I did a mobilespeedtest.com when I was outside and was so stunned I didn't do another app test. Also note that when I do smaller file sizes on mobilespeedtest my results get slower.

I've seen some weird speedtest stuff. My Speedtest is rarely over 3-4mbps.
During actual downloads I see 7-9mbps (about 1100KB/s is what it topped out at.) This is not peak, this is sustained. It fluctuates somewhat but I tested it out for over an hour and it averaged out at 890KB/s. That's over 7mbps, average, held for over an hour. I was impressed That's faster than my crappy home internet.
So why do I get speedtests that do not reflect this? Hell if I know.
(Experimenting a bit on the last day of my billing month, so I was not worried about burning through data )

i don't consider mobilespeedtest.com to match anything in the real world....My G2 just scored >27000 kbps/s.....Even 2 years ago my G1 scored like 10900, which is just not possible.......i believe speedtest.net gives better (much lower) estimates....

I just tether and use the PC for speed tests. Typically a usenet client. If all you have is a phone, you could dl a large file and simply time it.
Then divide file size by time and you have your speed.
Crude/low-tech but it'll do.

Typicalll....
When I'm connected to HSPDA (90% of the time), I get an average of 6MBPS down and up to a little over 8. Anywhere in that range.
In Washington, DC
In NYC it's a little more bogged, but I'll usually see 4-5 down.

Man LTE is sooooo amazing. But the uploading being 22 is f**king awesome!

just thought I would clear this up, The high uploads are due to the speedtest app not being able to measure LTE uploading correctly.
These scores are completely inaccurate.
It might as well say 99999999.9999999mbps upload.

Oh that makes sense. But I get those download speeds on my Moto Atrix!

Is anyone else having a problem with their atrix switching to Edge? I'll try to run a speed test or watch a video and it will just randomly switch to edge, then no signal, then back to H. What's the deal?

That was the point of this post. Most atrixes (Atrices?) are faster than this. Mine gets 5 down

Intersting results - mine were much different in Phoenix AZ.
I think in general the speedtest app is broken. When doing it on the webpage I was getting more consistantly between 15-20 MBps download and 5 MB upload.
I am actually giving back my atrix tomorrow. Best phone I have ever had, but the network is not even 3g speed out here (even with a microcell in my house I still can not get over 1.5 MB download and we all know about the stellar upload speed)

So if the Atrix only shows H+ than why does my Atrix switch a 3g symbol everyonce in awhile for a few seconds. I dont understand it.

LTE uses a single channel(SC)-FDMA while WiMax still uses OFDMA for their respective uplink signaling. OFDMA is what 3G uses, hence why you can still get an accurate reading on the Evo.

You have to be rooted, and connected to a pc.

Yep, when I'm home in the Tampa area, I receive much higher speeds (download speeds, that is). Generally in the 4 Mbps area.

You don't have to be rooted. You just need the drivers installed along with the SDK and just open the "tools" folder in the SDK and run the ddms.bat file. Once running, select your phone, then on your phone navigate to want you want a screenshot of, click refresh and then press save.

I hate to be the one to say this cause I def agree that 5Mbps is better the 3Mbps but even 5Mbps is not HSPA+ if we all remember HSPA theoretical max is 14.4 with HSPA+ theoretical max at 42Mbps up and 84Mbps down. now I realize that we will never see 84Mbps but 8.4 is def possible. So all I say to you guys is don't let at&t off the hook with 5Mbps

Yeah unfortunately the speeds you're getting are 3G nothing more nothing special. I got the exact same speeds on my HTC tilt 2 and on my LG Quantum. Hopefully (fingers crossed) they do nothing but talk about the end of march as an activation date for their 4G aka HSPA+ (not true 4G) or at least by june. But with ATT one can only hope. I do have to say perhaps they have fixed something in NY for you cause I've heard that signal and speed up there is horrible

I hate to be the one to say this cause I def agree that 5Mbps is better the 3Mbps but even 5Mbps is not HSPA+ if we all remember HSPA theoretical max is 14.4 with HSPA+ theoretical max at 42Mbps up and 84Mbps down. now I realize that we will never see 84Mbps but 8.4 is def possible. So all I say to you guys is don't let at&t off the hook with 5Mbps
