I was wondering if anyone has tried both the Got Biggins Rom and Jasmine Rom. Wanted to know if the wifi reception is better on the Jasmine Rom. As I am running GotBiggins v7. Had good wifi reception with v6 not even close now.
I use an app from the play store called Boosters Plus Battery Saver Pro. I got it to support the dev. He has a free version of most of his apps including his Internet Booster. I've always had slow WiFi even on my last phone SGS3, but the internet booster makes quite the difference. Here is the link to the play store app Internet Booster (root).
The other thing I have done is to disable WiFi power save setting in service mode. Find the service codes here. I can't say I've noticed much of a difference in speed, but it does drain the battery a bit more than with it on.

I've been surfing XDA for a while now on the hermes boards.
I'm a Rogers wireless user for Tytn (got it about 2 months ago with the $30/6gb option) and I just wanted to see how other rogers users are using their phones. I notice most people on the threads here are not rogers users. so if there's any of you out there, please reply.
I'm running TNT 2.0 rom by it's right at the moment. the newest one with wm6. I've used his old beta previously.
and I'm currently using Radio 1.51.00.10
I got this phone recently and after using it for quite some time. I've come to think it may have been better if I got an iPhone 3G instead due to the tytn's slow speed (multitasking+internet). the TNT 2.0 rom is quite fast though in terms of responsiveness. my main issue is internet speed.
I'm a graphic artist and my main reason for getting the phone was so i could sketch on it away from home with vspainter (virtual spaghetti) since iphone had no drawing program. plus the ability to have office on the phone is nice for work. only issue here is taht I have to be using the drawing program alone. if I have mp3s running on it, the drawing slows down to a unusable point.
I have a good friend that works at a fido store (i know I'm on rogers though), so I play around with the stuff there frequently. the iphone speedtests on 3G are blazing fast. and the samsung jack's speed on PIE are 1.5mbs, like telus desktop speed (http://www.mobilespeedtest.com/) which is astounding. my tytn on ROGERS 3G in the same area, can't even finish the test. anyone on rogers there know how to make it go faster? I've used settings I've read other people use, and even called rogers to get the settngs from customer service. it still won't pull faster than 400kbit/sec (www.dslreports.com). the samsung jack on fido was ripping 1000kbit/sec in the same place.
the jack can also play youtube on 3G PIE. I once got youtube to play on my phone when I was on wifi. but once Im on 3G I never got it to work. I was running TMPCE and coreplayer.
another issue is multitasking. I've found listening to music A2DP. playing on msn live. and surfing PIE would reduce my phone's battery life to about 6 hours. using Opera would stop my mp3 player. so far I found that opera mini is the best browser to use on the phone to surf sites and read things. anyone have some opinions to share with me? any msn client I can run on the phone all day long with no issues for battery or multitasking??
a good thing I've tried was using the phone with just 2G settings. so I turn off the HSDPA and 3G network and just use GSM gprs. the phone lasted over 19 hours in a day. that was great.
Im about to try out the spb mobile (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com) programs on a plain flash to if they can increase the usability and multitasking of the phone.
if any rogers users out there want to talk about their tytn experience on the phone is, please share!
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,
-ZDK-
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.
Hi,
My internet speed is okay I speedtested in on both of my android devices and laptop. (Nexus 7, T-mobile Samsung Galaxy SII)
Download speed is 10mbps + /sec
It runs youtube,netflix, etc well and does not have to buffer.
But both devices have the same problem which is the download speed on google play is just so slow.
It is about 5-50 kbps/sec
It took almost 10 minutes just to update google chrome.
I only have this problem with the wifi in my house, in the other places it seem to be okay.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you.
Update just test at a coffee shop its around 1-2mbps / sec to download apps
but at home still 5-50kbps.
Anyone?
No idea what would be causing this but if you look for an Aroma flashable zip called "pimp my ROM" (its available in the general android apps section of xda) it has some networking tweaks that may speed things up for you.
Happening today to me as well, never before though since I have owned the N7.
Yes I would say this is pretty recent, started happening to me probably a month ago to my galaxy s ii
I mean even with when it is okay (not with my own wifi at home) it can't seem to go faster than 1mbps /sec while it used to be able to.
Other apps and everything are working fine tho. Download some 6mbps file on the browser took me about 2 seconds.
Just the Google Play that has this problem. still can't seem to go higher than 50kbps /sec.
I'm downloading Nova 3 right now and it probably take at least 20 hours+

Not real sure but if you flash Franco Fransisco's latest kernel you will have faster dl speeds from playstore. Its in his log and its true. Definitely sped my dls up. I realize youre trying to determine why its different at your place vs others but this is what came to my mind right off as his op states it and its worked wonders for me. Hes a really great kernel developer.:thumbup:
Grouper/CNA 3.6.6/Franco r16
Tried all methods above, didn't seem to help.
I also did try clear data on google play and google framework but didn't help either.
Like I said the browsing speed is fine and everything only the google play speed when you download / update apps.
Hi
Before i got my i9505 i used my i9000, i travel alot and when the hotells doesn't provide wifi i use wireless tether. This always worked good and i was looking forward to get my hands on a 4G phone for faster speeds... problem now is that i cant say the speed is better... not even better then the i9000 for some reason.
It starts of good with fair speeds depending on coverage.. then it goes down fast, after just 2-3 minutes of downloading a big file the speed goes down to about 50kb/s for some reason and stays there untill i restart tether.
Could someone help me confirm this by downloading a big file ('bout 500mb or so?) and see if you can reproduce it.
currently i'm on ME2 with Omega 3.0
Swedish Three as provider and when i used speedtest.net while the download speed was 50kb/s i still had 5mb/s on the phone
unfortunately i did not test this while i was on stock rom would have been great if i did so it would be easier to determin where the problem was.
I also noticed the speed went higher (not full speed though) if i never let the screen go to sleep. i dont use any power savers of any kind.
Hi,
Does anyone know if download booster feature on the Note 4 helps improve streaming performance?
I have poor home wifi speeds and average 3g speeds, im hoping that a combination will enable me to stream videos better.
Thanks,
Sam
Probably not and you'd suffer a lot more random drop outs, plus you'd have to have enough mobile data to back up your Wi-Fi connection. Upgrade your home DSL instead.
Note 4 download booster
Actually i got the download booster working great on the note 3 with no issues. I also found our in the note 4 but it doesn't seem to work. ..but then again i have been having problems with my phone so I'm bringing it back for a new one. ...and no they're isn't any dropped connections or lack of Datta in less you don't have any. ..it works awesome when you have it.
