why is youtube so slow on 3g it always buffering please help

hi guys sorry if im being a bit dumb but why is it slower than any other phone like my mate e71 which steams youtube clips from 3g without buffering,but my xperia is buffering about ervery 5 secs so you cant watch your cilps.it works fine in wifi could anyone help me thanks

Are you sure u're connected to your 3G network?

why is youtube so slow on 3g???
yep browsing seems to quick its just too slow steaming video any thoughts is there a fix iv tryed the cabs that are posted this forum plese help

what youtube program ?
I have 3 apart from playing them directly in opera

iv tryed a few different ones
iv tryed all from X1 programs, panels, tweaks, fixes [COLLECTION]
Tweaks which are posted on the fourum, they all work gr8 on wifi but all too slow on 3g.

I think you are jusing the htc youtube app.. try to change the quality from high to low this should work..

tryed it mate still really slow what have you installed on yours and does it buffer or play smooth?

I've been meaning to address this as well. Whne i connect using 3g, for any form of a connection(youtube or interent in general) I have a slower connection than i do when on hspda. Any ideas why this may be?

well probably cause the 3g icon is plain umts, and hspda is way faster than regular umts,more than double the speed sometimes, its more like 3.5g so when theres an H instead of an 3G you should get blazing speeds.

on H or 3g its never been at blazing speeds its good enough to brows on the net for but not for youtube its way too slow

[Q] *Is anyone having problems w/ 4G and flash sites?*

Peace All,
Has anyone been having problems w/ their 4G service wherein it hangs (on loading) a site that is heavily ladened w/ FLASH (not to be confused w/ the current Gtalk and market issues)? I've tried the plug-in selections of "ON DEMAND" and even "ALWAYS" and it seems that it takes my 4G almost 3 -4 minutes (if it even loads) just to download the site fully---my 3G is actually faster . I've ran speed tests and when i'm on 4G i"m pulling 4.63 mbps down and about 1.00 mbps up---I've even checked to see if my RSA keys were intact and they were. The people (customer service) seem oblivious to this problem. Is there a fix for this?
thanks in advance for anyone's insight to this problem

I don't know, I'll check mine tomorrow when I'm in a 4g area.
Problem with customer service is, they don't have a clue with anything network related. All they do is check to see how many problems similar to what a person reports as a problem and then make a note of it.

No problems with flash on 4g.
FYI - I am running AVO v9 and Flash Fix 10 so I can watch Hulu, and it worked great.

Peace,
Well i guess I'm the only one---this has happened on every ROM I've tried (Ava9 and Myn's Rsl2)---I've called Sprint and I've ran various tests to check my 4G and my RSA keys are in tact and my MAC address is cool---I also have the latest radio, prl, pri and wimax versions---I'm going back to stock---theming and custom ROM's are too much of a hassle and not worth it (most people on here appear to be sooo OBSESSED about battery life that they turn off every function of the phone so that they can brag that they havent charged in 8 days ). I use my phone to the fullest and like running 4G--since im in a 4G saturated area---all day
Thanks anyway,

use flash on demand, that speeds up all your site loadings, make the browser more stable, and removes ads, unless you like ads, .

For me flash site works perfect on 4G...

only issues i have on 4g are pc related, whether im tethered or using hotspot, if the 4g dips just a little the flash video stops loading, when i get to that part the players just hang at what ever the buffer says which is usually 45% to 51% and i have to refresh and jump to the place it stopped, the overall 4g connection is very stable, i have no clue whats going on
btw would you happen to be using dolphin browser hd?? there have been a lot of comments about browser slowdown with froyo and the site has a few suggestions to help speed it up

I've actually got the exact same problem as the OP. I recently did some modifications to the wimax settings so 4g would connect faster and stay connected longer and wonder if that may have something to do with it. Otherwise I do not know what might have changed.

[Q] Weird WiFi Issue Using Custom ROM?

So just picked up a MyTouch 4g and so far I love it! Glad I switched from being a Windows Mobile user to a die hard Android now! Anyhow so the first thing I did when I got home was of course root it and found a custom ROM for it. I went and got [ROM][07/04/11] Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid [1.27.0] and finally got it flashed after some tinkering. Thank god I used linux before! So the phone seems to work fine, but today I noticed some annoying issues with it. I upgraded the sd card to 16gb from 8gb and had to reloaded a few of my games, no biggie, everything works now. But the WiFi is starting to piss me off. At work the wifi shouldn't be an issue, it is slow, but works. The phone just seems to keep dropping connection for no reason, then says emergency calls only and then picks back up the WiFi, etc. Does this while WiFi calling is enabled, now when I disable that, the WiFi still has issues like it won't keep a good signal. Hell I am sitting beside the router and still the signal goes up and down. I know the wifi works because I am using it thru my laptop to type this atm (using ubuntu 11.04 of course!) I have done some searching thru out the forums and noticed some others complaining about the same issue. I am asking because didn't know if this was ROM related, or maybe needed a different radio like my HTC tilt 2 used when I had it? Any ideas or maybe point me in the general direction?

T-Mobile Tethering Issue

Hello Everyone!
Now I know what you're thinking;
"Not another tethering thread! Use Google/Search function! SMH" etc, etc
Well, I did, but I couldn't find someone who had my same problem. So, here it is;
Since the beginning of the year, I was able to successfully tether my phone on my unlimited plan at full speed with no issues. I've never hit an upsell page and still haven't to this day. That's not the issue I'm having. The issue I'm having is that for some reason, downloads are extremely slow. I'm talking like 20kbps slow. This is a relatively new problem that cropped up within the past few weeks and it is really irking me to no end. Web pages and YouTube videos will load nice and fast, but whenever I download something, it starts off fast but then all of the sudden slows down to a crawl. Why is this? Is there anything I can do to fix it? It doesn't matter if I use WiFi tethering or USB tethering, it's all the same.
ROM: ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2
Kernel: Franco Kernel
Radio: .33/.84 Hybrid Radio

You really shouldn't download too much on tether. T-Mobile monitors traffic every second and knows when you're downloading a file from your phones browser or a tethered device.
