Hi there, I got a Magic (32A) with FroyoRedux, SPL 1.33.0010 and Radio 3.22.20.17. Everything works perfect, except for one thing: the WiFi speed. At july, I was visiting my parents in other city, I also updated my ROM while I was there. At my parents' house, with WiFi connected to a 8mbps internet connection, I got full speed (tested using speedtest.net app). About 3 or 4 weeks ago, when I got home, also via speedtest.net app, I got a fair speed (3mbps) via WiFi. I have 15mbps at home, but I though it was OK, since its fast enough for most applications I use. But, since then, my WiFi speed is limited to a extremely slow rate, always slower than my 3G speed. I have 600kbps at 3G, and I get, in the best results, 500kbps via WiFi (most of the times, it gets between 100 and 200kbps), even without any other device connected to my router. I tried using static IP, no success (actually, I was unable to connect while using static IP, even with all the settings done correctly). Using an app called WiFi analyzer, I can see that no network next to my house is using the same channel as my router does, so channel interference is also not the problem. I know a setting in HTC WinMo devices which let the user to choose between better wifi performance or better battery life, but I was unable to find such settings in Android.
So, I'd like to know if it is a known issue, or if someone out there has the same problems as me. I've seen many Droid and Hero owners having similar issues, but nobody with a Magic.
And sorry for any typos I may have commited, my english is not that good, I'm brazilian
Hello all,
I've had my Nexus 10 since Christmas and it's never given me any problems. Within the last 3 or 4 days, however, I noticed my videos weren't loading like normal, so I've been running speedtests and it is completely inconsistent. My phone and computer will consistently pull 20+ Mbps, but the N10 is crazy. Sometimes it's 3Mbps, sometimes it's 10Mbps, sometimes it's 16Mbps. Every time I check, it's different. I've used multiple programs and websites to read the speeds, and they're all reporting the same. I can stand in another room, or right next to the router, same story. The wifi never fully drops, it just slows way down. I don't have a case on it. I've turned on and off the Wi-Fi optimization in settings. I've turned on and off location settings. Nothing helps! Please let me know if you have any ideas. I am hoping I won't have to return the darn thing, it seems crazy.
As per my internet, it's Comcast, Surfboard modem with a Linksys E1000 (Wireless-N, 2.4GHz) using WPA. Restarting that did not help. I am open to the idea of changing some settings on the router however, if that might be a solution. Also, signal strength on the N10 says "Excellent" and link speed says 130Mbps.
Thanks for your help!

I too have this problem so now Im going to attempt to root the device
Glad to hear someone else is having similar problems.
Possible good news: I changed my protection from WPA(mixed) to WPA2, and so far things seem to be much more consistent. This may just be a fluke, but it's looking much better so far.
If you have a router with 2.4GHz band only, try changing it to 2.4GHz under WiFi settings on the Nexus.
I had some disconnection problems due to that and somewhat inconsistent speeds, I've seen it fix a lot of peoples problems, I've yet to have a transfer problem so far with limiting WiFi to the speed of my router.
Other issues some see is using N wide or dual channel (40Mhz). As the N10 only supports 20 Mhz in 2.4GHz it seems to get confused.
Most other devices either support 40GHz or handle switching more gracefully.
In short force router to 20 Mhz/single channel, may report more consistent behaviour.
On 5Ghz it does not matter as the N10 supports 40Mhz/Dual channel.
Odd, I know.
My experience is that sometimes with wifi issues, wiping the cache (if custom recovery is available) would resolve the issues for some time, but it might be due to an beta ROM.
P.S> on 5GHz wifi I am able to hit 122Mb/s
it has WIFI, mine hardly works
After a few hours of testing, I am now consistently getting 20mbps + as I should be. My router is set to 20MHz only, but I think the main issue was the security settings. It just wasn't dealing with WPA(mixed) well.
First time poster here. I've searched all the threads and couldn't find anything on my specific issue.
Had the Nexus 10 for about a week and noticed streaming YouTube and movies was EXTREMELY slow. Slower than my Galaxy Nexus on the same WiFi network (my network speed is about 18-20 Mbps). I finally did a speed test and noticed that my 10 was getting awful results...sometimes 3-6 Mbps while sometimes it'd get up to 10-13. My Galaxy Nexus gets between 14-18 Mbps consistently. For my 10, every speed test fluctuates between 3 to 13 and it's just so inconsistent.
Now, I don't have any connectivity issues. It never drops the signal and I'm always connected, it just goes super slow to the point of YouTube videos not loading.
I'm not a wizz, but I use ATT uverse and use the router they give you. I'm not sure if it's a router issue or a Nexus issue.
I've restarted the nexus, turned off the WiFi optimization and turned the WiFi off and on. I had a ton of issues with my nexus 7 (main reason I switched to 10) and I really don't want to ship the device back to Google. Any suggestions??

For starters when you toggle WiFi optimization you need to reboot for the setting to completely turn on/off.
What ROM / Kernel combo are you using? If that is stock then it is likely the router.
ISP routers are usually cheap, they don't handle multiple device traffic very well. One thing you can do is change the stock/auto settings they come with as they are less than desirable. Lower channels/and or Auto Channel (in both 2.4 and 5 GHz), QoS, software static IP, and even Google DNS can all interfere with your router. First go into build.prop and look for the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 lines and delete them, reboot. Try that. If issues persist go into router firmware and change all the Auto settings to a preset. Even something as simple as your phone logged on at the same time could interfere if the channel is saturated. Take everything off the WiFi except for the n10 and try that. Getting a 3rd party router with dual band / 802.11n support is ideal.
The least likely issue is that it could be a hardware issue with your n10.
Ive been trying to use tethering to my laptop and its to the point of unusable, im getting 56k speedsi if that while a speed test from my phone im getting 15-30 down and 2-10 up.
I'm using wifi hotspot ive tried both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. I have also tried the USB Tether but my windows 10 doesnt like it for some reason. Im on verizon with a shared Data plan that includes the Hotspot feature. anyone have any ideas
Thanks
No idea, but I've tethered to a Windows 7 laptop. Performance was good, so I never bothered to check the speed.

I am having same issue. I use T-mobile and my OnePlusOne never had this issue. I would go to gym and just turn on my hotspot and watch Netflix without issue in the past. With the MXPE, it's like being on 56k modem. Anyone else having this issue?
I tether almost everyday due to terrible speeds at work. I'm on Verizon unlimited and I do not experience any speed issues. I unlocked but I made no changes for tether as that worked out of the box
I tried Bluetooth tethering which works fine without any issue so it's not exactly a carrier issue. I also verify with t-mobile that they didn't turn of my hotspot feature by accident.
I have the same issue on TMO US. With my Nexus 5, I had fast, dependable tethering. Now with the MXPE my tethering is painfully slow and flaky. Not good at all when on the road.
I'm having the same issue. I just upgraded from a Droid MAXX that had fantastic tethering speeds, and now on my new MXPE it's like being on dialup. Has anyone come up with a solution? I've been loving the phone so far, but tethering is too important to me and I won't be able to keep the phone if I can't figure it out.
I've had this happen twice. A reboot fixed it both times.
I've had this happen more than twice... Hoping the devs can come up with a fix

I'm on VZW ULDP and mine can be painfully slow at times as others have indicated. Usually a reboot will rectify it. But that's not really convenient. I have it set up to start tether automatically when I start my car (bluetooth connection activated via tasker) so I can automatically get traffic to work or home on my z ultra.

I had my first tethering session yesterday. I am on Verizon. A customer I was meeting with needed email access on his Surface Pro and there was no free WiFi where we met. I went in and setup a portable WiFi hotspot. We were both quite impressed with the speed. Keep in mind, this is the only time I have tried it but there were no issues.
hello i just got my moto x pure and i was trying to tether everything seems to be ok until i try use internet in my macbook and is not trasmitting data,same thing happened with nexus 6 i found that when lte it stops transfering data,this is so stupid this is an unlocked phone and it wont let me tether?????? wtf........im using simple mobile unlimited 4g LTE ,i was using an Asus ZenFone 2 and tether without issues,thanks.
This happens almost every time I use the hotspot. Rebooting usually fixes it - temporarily. I'm really hoping that marshmallow has better hotspot performance on the MXP
I get this issue... It's not exactly slow speeds, more like a spotty connection. I use Remote Desktop to do my work, which should still technically run smoothly (albeit slowly) on a 56k connection. I am connecting to a Windows NT server, so I am only using 16-bit graphics quality to reduce the strain on my bandwidth. We didn't even have anything that much faster than T1 at that time, so I can't imagine a Windows NT server running slowly on a modem connection. I noticed a couple things that were strange, so I think there may be settings on my phone causing it but I cannot be sure.
The connection fast when I test the tethering at home, but when I am out the connection constantly drops. I cannot even get a stable connection to my server to do any work. This is not when I am in the car moving from cell tower to cell tower, this is if I am at a place without WiFi, such as my dentist's office.
Chrome gets stuck at "Resolving host..." when trying to visit any websites. This would lead me to believe it is a DNS error, however this does not explain the connection instability with Remote Desktop, and using the address's IP address does not seem to fix this, strangely enough.
I am on a VZW grandfathered unlimited plan, using the TruPure ROM. I did not want to move away from stock, but I did it in an attempt to fix my tethering issues. So far nothing has worked.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Honor 10's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
No signal drop. Wifi range is pretty good..
WiFi range is pretty good and stable even with weak signal.
No WiFi signal drops yet since launch day
Wi-Fi range it's horrible, where I had no problem to stay on Wi-Fi in my flat with Mi4c, Honor 10 drops connection
It has noticeably worse range than my 5 year old Note 3. My old phone, laptops and iPad have no issues with Wifi downstairs, this thing drops out fairly often.
worst wifi & bt phone ever!!!! While bt connected to MiBand is the wifi useless.. speed drops to 0,01Mbit and 0, then disconnects. When BT is turned off everything is normal. I also tried connecting to other BT devices like speaker, hi-fi sound system, smart watches. Every device was on different places, so each time I was connected to different wifi network. I haven't those problems with Mi 4 C.

Mine works great on wifi/4g when its conected to my smartwatch.
Do a factory reset, and try again.

My friend your ISP is ****. If upload is more than download then there is a problem on your ISP. Now as i see on your other test it switched server terminals. Well you can not blame your device for that. But say thanks to your ****ty provider

Have you tried turn it off & on again? I must say only LOL LOL LOOOOL.. havent you read my previous posts??? I said I tried that on many places (many ISP)! This is not about the ISP, nor router because I had testet three phones side by side (at home with two different routers) - old crappy Redmi 1s, Mi 4C and this super-fancy Honor 10.. guess which phone is having the slowest connection speed with BT & Wifi enabled
Anyway.. here's nice picture for you with some sh*tty ISP 3Mbit over. 40/40Mbit plan.
I think its a dual problem too hardware+provider, i got 120 download and 110 upload wifi with my provider, as i should on my 500 Mbs plan+router I get even the same results on my y520 laptop on wifi.
As for the bt+wifi, its not normal.
Cant you get a refund?

There is a lot situations why is downlink slower as uplink - eg. QoS set on the router and I can tell you it's not the providers fault in my case. My HTPC on LAN has the top priority for web and it's always above 40/40 on my 40/40 speed plan. Secondly it's 2,4GHz Mikrotik RB wifi and it's crappy during the day when every wifi in the neighbor is active.
A little bit update: I found that when Amazfit Watch app is disconnected from my Huami Amazfit Watch the speed is terrible. Once I connect them together again the speed is okay. Tried also uninstalling Amazfit Watch app and the speed was great. Maybe related to this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-pace-wifi-problem-phone-t3664805 so I should move there with my problem.
do you have a "book case or flip case "? i wonder if the magnets inside those cases can mess up the radio's..
because they sure as hell mess up the compass.
nope.. rubber Nillkin case
Problem solved?
Bluetooth+Wifi together without any problem?
what's the maximum bandwidth you guys managed to get with this phone? Is it 866mbps or only 433mbps? I can get 866mbps for my LG V30+ phone on my wifi router (Nighthawk X4S) but only can get 433mbps for the Honor 10 phone..
Just got this phone yesterday. I noticed that sending messages in WhatsApp stalled with the little clock icon. At least for 10 seconds or more. It made me investigate. I changed to 4G and messages get sent straight away. So I done the usually rebooted router, device and tried again. Same problems. WiFi test on 200mbit connection 5ghz was giving me 130mbit. My old Nexus 6 gets full speed. 2.4ghz no better, on Nexus 6 I get 130/140mbit, the honour 10 I get a measly 43mbit. The phone obviously has a problem. I've tested other devices and all including my old Galaxy S5 get max speed via WiFi. I do these tests right next to the router. I feel this phone isn't as good as it's made out to be. Yes it's a nice phone, great speed and camera but it for some reason takes ages to send WhatsApp messages and load YouTube videos, something my Nexus 6 never did. Bit disappointed as it's only new yesterday. A factory reset should not be needed at all.
================
A small update to this. I read around that the problems could be related to Bluetooth causing the slow browser load times, Instagram not loading and the problem I had with WhatsApp messages taking ages to go through. Basically I went to Bluetooth scanning settings in settings area and turned it off. I also turned off WiFi scan settings as you only need to scan for WiFi when you know there is WiFi to be picked up. Both I turned off and the different in browsing, loading of apps and WhatsApp are amazing.
Below a screen of the settings turned off. Hope this helps others.
