some of you know may know me, and i am letting you guys know now, i am deffinitely not a noob when it comes to this stuff.
anyways, im staying at a hotel in vegas, and i decided to tether my laptop instead of paying for wifi. its working really nice, but my tethering app says im geting 20+ mbs of download speed, and 2+mb of upload speed
im running JACS hero 1.8b4, overclocker at 527mb, and have a swap file at 128mb with 60 swappiness
now is it possible between the overclock and swap, that my tethering really is running that high? or is the app messed up.
Nope... don't think its possible to get that high speeds because as far as I know, 3G doesn't even support those speeds (in reality anyways). Overclocking and Swap should not affect internet speeds at all as they are two very different things (an old P3 500mhz can still have 20Mbits/2Mbits connection despite being very slow). The speed of your internet is determined by your provider not they phone. Don't know how you got those speeds, but make sure you're not accidentally paying for them, otherwise, enjoy your lightning speeds!
just go download a file from a web browser and see the download speed.
I'm so tired off hearing about numbers from stupid apps or even http based speedtests.
If your using the wifi tether for root user app the two numbers on the bottom are not your current speed but the amount of data you have downloaded and uploaded during your session. Otherwise make sure your wifi is not hooking onto something.
HI, this is my problem.
i HAVE SUPER SLOW data transfers, in my house with 10mb conection, ever, the apps, or downloads never get more than 100kb ( the max ) and 50kb of average.
i fall slep, when i need to whait to download 3 or 4 ****ing mb...
Anyone, know why?
ITs the radio rom, or the version of android?
I have MUIUI-ROM and the lastest radio
I have this same issue, I don't know what to do. I really would like to have regular speeds and not have to wait to download a normal sized app.
Bump +1
I notice slow speeds especially when downloading from the market and it is the same whether I'm connected over wifi or cellular. Downloading from the market I get about 8kb/s downloads!
The odd thing is when I run a test with the Speedtest.net app I get this
WIFI
11.03 Mb/s down
1.10 Mb/s up
T-Mobile USA
3.45 Mb/s down
1.29 Mb/s up
I thought maybe this was a market issue, but I get very good market download speeds like 500 kb/s on my G1 and my wifes Eris, whether on Wifi or Cellular....
Would love to get to the bottom of this. My HD2 is pretty much flawless minus the slow data transfers....
finally, it's a market (app) problem?
I dont know, why need to wait 10 or 20 minutes to download 5 or 7mb...
on HDSPA, Wifi or whatever...
Bump
Having the same problem can anyone help?
The only build with which I've not experienced slow WiFi and data speeds is [Build][20.11.2010][NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.7 PPP+RMNET] (hastarin r8.2 with G-Sensor Fix) - you should try and see if that works for you.
I've noticed something odd.
I'm using Chromatic 3.9
Wifi Tether 2.05 RC2
Swap 96mb swappyness 45
The issue is that when I exceed 1GB of transfer over wifi tether the connection slows down drastically.
Below 1GB I'll get download speeds around 300KBps. Over 1GB it drops to ~7KBps.
I do not believe the issue is throttling as the speed returns to normal with a simple reboot.
I do not mind rebooting every couple hours, but I'm just curious as to what may be happening.
Previously I was using 2.05 RC1 and transferred ~3GB with no issues.
Thoughts?
Hmmm... I would go ahead and say that it's an AT&T problem but...
1) It's the phone not the network.
2) You probably have T-Mobile.
3) AT&T is slow from start to finish, it doesn't wait until after 1GB.
Otherwise, I have no idea.
I'm trying out the MikFroyo 4.5 ROM and was liking it until I noticed download speeds over WiFi. The throughput seems to be incredibly SLOW compared to my previous ROM (Rebirth-ACrom), which was blazing fast. Funny thing is, though, that the Speedtest app shows fast speeds. And yes, I did everything properly, including wiping data and cache before flashing the ROM and testing before restoring with Titanium. Is there a fix for this? Otherwise I might have to look at a different ROM, such as SPRINTLOVERS or Myn.
And for that matter, Market downloads over 4G seem to be a bit slow (closer to 3G speeds) as well.

my wifi is fine, no problems here, wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik and system. i dont like myn, heap size is too small
at one point my wifi got shot and killed and could not use it. but figured out it was a kernel issue, so try another kernel like the sbc kernel
Did you restore any system data with TB? If so, that may be the issue.

I'm having the same issue. I noticed my wifi has problems scanning for networks, throws an error "Unable to scan for networks" and then turns off the wifi.
I did do a TB and a restore with it, but I only restored the apps and data, not system files or data at all.
I had the same problems. I finally had to uninstall Mikfroyo 4.5 while I still had hair left. I think it had something to do with the addfree app. Open addfree and select revert then try using Titanium back up to clear all data and uninstall addfree. That might help. If I remember right the addfree app was installed with the ROM.
I never understood why my phone always ran so slow in every department while using what was supposed to be the fastest EVO rom so I finally just flashed something else. Currently using Myns Z rom and my wifi is blazing.
I was having the same problem, changed the kernel and solved the problem.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue where it's unable to scan networks. What kernel did you end up flashing to NiMiNuM?
Running Mikfroyo V4.5 Also with a No SBC MoreHavs Kernel and I am finally in a 4G area and connected to it with good signal, but when I go to use the hotspot setting it tells me that I am not subscribed to Hotspot service. Will let me hotspot 3G but as soon as I get 4G up and running it tells me that message, any ideas?
Unfortunately I did not notice the problem right away, but having the same prob. Interesting thing I recently (this weekend) tried a few(Virus,Misfit,MikGinger) of the new leaked sense gingerbread roms. I also switched kernels a few times, but have the same problem across the board. I did catch where something borked in the buildprob could cause this. I can still tether my laptop, just will not scan and therefore can't connect via wifi. Besides doing everything correctly I do nandroid backups before changes. Unfortunately i delete older ones (space issue). So my oldest nandroid is mikfroyo4.5 with the scanning issue. ANY IDEAS?
I found from upgrading to 4.61 that the problem was with the dalvik-cache chewing up the entire cache partition. Once dalvik-cache was moved back to the data partition, the problem resolved. And 4.61 still has decent app space.

I have been using MikFroyo 4.5 all this morning and haven't seen any speed problems. On the WMU campus I was clocking in at around 1.3MB/s (not mbps)
As I posted earlier I had the unable to scan problem. Once I gave in and did a complete wipe/data reset my problem was solved. If all else fails....
My gt-I9505 uses a lot of data on android system does anyone know what causes this. I only have 1GB before my speeds get lowered (data is really expensive here) so for 3-4 65 mb of wasted data is very anoying for me. Please help?
