Slow wifi?

I think the wifi on my G2 is acting up. I don't know if these are normal speeds for phone wifi, but here goes:
Right now I'm getting 24 Mbps when I'm about 30 feet away from my router and behind one wall. I'm on a linksys wireless N router. I can get you the model number if you need it.

I'm not quite understanding your question? Is your G2's wifi downlink 24mbps because that isn't slow at all.

24mbps is what's listed when I go into settings and tap on my network.

24Mbps to an N router 30ft away? Yeah that's really slow...
I had problems downloading files from my server on my LAN via wifi... it was ridiculously slow.

Speedtest '''

Just scored 0.12 mbps on download and 0.10 on upload.
How can I improve this ? Make my phone faster

going to need more info about your phone...ex...version,rooted or non rooted,any kernel...like that...

just did mine and it was 2.53 dl and 1.08 up...with nero3 beta...

...and are you using Speedtest to measure 3G or your wifi or what?
I'm sitting in my house right now in a major metropolitan area and the 3G speed on my stock Vibrant is about 4.2 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up. When I turn on the phone's wifi connection to my Fios network, I get about 22-24 Mbps down and about 3-4 Mbps up. If I move around or go outside, these speeds will vary.

It appears as though you have exceeded the 5gb data limit. After this billing cycle is over, your connection will return to normal.

Ya that might b it. I'll run it again when billing cycle ends
Thanks

You should know. You would have gotten a text.
Jesus...

Or you can reboot and try again. You also might be in an area with a high amount of data traffic. For example when i'm at disneyland, I get full bars but my data speeds are crazy slow. It's probably the same when at a sporting event. 40k people and at least half of them with smart phones trying to access the internets will cause a slow down. But like the other guys said, we're going to need more information.

Ditto, sounds like your being throttled. Try it on wifi. Remember, download **** on wifi if you can. Don't go rom crazy on 3G.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Recently I was in phoenix and the 3g was full bars buy totally unreliable. I switched to edge and it was three times faster than hspa
You might want to switch to only gsm network and see if that helps

So if the phone can get those speeds over wifi would I get those speeds over 3g/4g if it were available?

No. The fastest you will see from this phone is a little over 5Mb's down (in near perfect conditions) and i'm not sure about upload but the fastest i've ever had was 1.8Mb up.

Even if it were available over the T-Mobile ? Why or why not...just trying to get a better understanding as to why over wifi and not over the network IF it were available

Agreed! The vibrant is not a HSPA+ device meaning it is not "4G"

kinda need more. did you have WAYY higher data speeds before? your problem could be 1 of 2 things...maybe both.
1)Bad coverage
2)data throttle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872570
check my thread about a temporary fix for throttling. its just easy as changing the APNs. i'm working on a permanent fix by creating a services.jar mod,but its not working out so well.

This is ungodly slow? 4 speed

How are you getting that high of internet speeds using your FIOS network? I have FIOS 30Mbps download and 15Mbps upload, and the highest download speed I've gotten on my Vibrant is 13Mbps. I am using a D-Link Wireless N Router (2.4 and 5ghz) which consistently gives my wireless computers 30Mbps, but not my cell phone.
I'm curious to hear what radio you're using and your current setup (router, router settings, service plan, phone settings, etc). If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know what you're doing to get above 13Mbps on Wifi.

Just did mine in New Port Richey, Florida.
5.73 Mbps Download
1.48 Mbps Upload

I believe our phones are capable of 7.2Mbps download on our Hsdpa network connection. Most of the new t-mobile phones that are coming out are capable of about double the download and upload speeds that we can actually achieve.

Speedtest

Why is my G2 getting 6 mbps on wifi while my mytouch 4G slide gets 19 mbps on the same wifi?
This seems weird because the G2 has hit 17+ mbps on other wifi anyone have any idea why its getting low speed compare to the slide?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

I have noticed my G2 not getting a full 12mbps from my wifi router that is 15 feet away it only gets like 8mbps or so, whereas the computer right next to the phone gets the full 12mbps - so I know just what you are referring to!
I have not yet figured out the cause myself

They were both next to the router tho the mytouch got 19mbps and the G2 got 6

Did your phones both connect to the same server when you performed the test? Perhaps that may have contributed to the difference in speed.

You misunderstood my post. Speedtest connects to a server usually hosted by a company somewhere nearby to perform the test, and the mobile app uses GPS to find the closest. Perhaps your phones connected to different servers for some reason. If you run a few more tests on both at different times of the day then you can rule it out.

Slow wifi tethering

Hi I have slow wifi tethering I have tryed all roms and no joy if I do a speed test on my phone using the speed test app off the market I get about 4meg any ideas will help to fix the problem I will use any from

You 100% positive that you are still on 3G when tethering? Sometimes it will cut down to EDGE depending on signal strength. Plus do you do the speed test app RIGHT before or after tethering and in the same location? Secondly, how are your internet speeds using wired tethered? Maybe your computers wireless NIC is faulty.

I get hspa when I do the speed test. I can do one before and one during and post the speeds here if that helps. i dont do usb tetherin
Phone was left in the same place
***4.9 meg before tethering turned on
***3.8 meg after tethering turned on

Ok now connect your PC and go to speedtest.net and try a speed test on there using your computer.

Do u have any idea how fast that is for phone hardware. Never seen a phone test that fast.

I know I was half joking. It is quite nuts that the phone can handle that speed. I love it.

I do not think mine keeps up either.

The poor wifi speeds are fairly well documented in the AnandTech review.
It's interesting that the OneX / EvoLTE does better with the same chipset.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/8

Try 20mhz channel and see if it changes. Also, speed test is not 100% accurate with connections over 20mbit according to them.
The results you posted seem to be within the expected range. What n router are you using? Not all n equipment is as fast as you think(well documented). What about channel saturation? Anyone else nearby using the same channels? Channel space is shared media. Many factors involved.
I would be satisfied with your results. Considering it is a phone, has ddr2 mem, a limited bus speed and width(compared to a pc), and probably a slower WiFi adapter than a pc, I wouldn't worry.
