Does anyone know what the Radio Rom is for the T-Mobile MDA Vario II.
Especially the dutch one.
Since unlocking I'm experiencing speed problems on UMTS / HSDPA....
Any other suggestions are very welcome.
Cheers!
Hoi
I'm using the latest 1.20.31.10 radio ROM from the Wiki. Works perfectly on my dutch Vario II. No problems with the phone functions, and i just did a speedtest on Web n' Walk: 427kbit/s.
So i think its reccommendable. No problems here with the fast battery drainage some people are experiencing.
Problem solved, there was a problem at a HSDPA antenna.....
I am using the patched radio on my Dutch VArio II, the 1.13
No problems sofar, D/L speed is aroung 560 Kbps on 3G.
BTW am I not supposed to get faster speeds ?? I mean I have no Web&Walk so my connection is not capped to 64 Kbps.
Or do you need a HSDPA subscription in order to use the high speed ?

Nope, that is because you share the bandwith on an antenna. I have had speeds up to 810 Kbps but normal for me would be 410Kbps.....
The weird part is that they aren't capping speeds at all. I have the standard 9.50 euro Web 'n walk subscription that is supposed to be capped at 64kbps, but i have the same speeds hellejoep reaches, sometimes up to 800kbps and never below 400kbps when on 3G. Nothing wrong with that.
ionide!
What is your location? And how did you subscribe to Web&Walk: in the T-Mobile Store or by calling the customer service?
Utrecht, but that doesn't matter, i have high speeds all over the country. I renewed my subscription in a store. I'm not the only one who had this "problem", lots of people with the 9.50 subscription report high speeds. Maybe they don't cap HSDPA yet?
Thanx for the info... I need to go get it, the problem is that I can do it only from the 1st of December (don't ask)
what do you enable to get the revA speeds?
I am on the 3.2.3 rom and the .3 radio.
I just ran "mobilespeedtest" and ger 349 to 645.3 kps.
What am I doing wrong?
I have already.
.. select data network (#777).. click edit.. click next.. click next again..

without any sucess.
I am sure there is a simple setting I forgot about.

It is on by default with the latest Radio ROMs if it is available in your area. Anything above 256K/sec I believe is REV A speeds. I get any where from 150K to 1meg depending on the signal strength.
you people need to clarify Kbps/KBps/Mbps/MBps.
Big difference between bits and bytes...I've been getting 600kbps or 84KBps (plently fast for surfing) with crappy signal strength. I'll have to do some more testing with it.

I use http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed so what ever units they are using is my units that I quoted above.
EDIT: with a 30% signal strength on EVDO I get 194 kbit/sec but have gotten upwards to 1 mbit/sec with full strength.

That is not correct, as non RevA has speed bursts that is capable of getting up there.
I'm running the stock VZW rom and with full EVDO signal (non RevA) I've gotten speeds in excess of 600kbps

Anyone else test on this site with both PIE and Opera?
PIE gives me a consistent sub 100kbits while opera gives me over 300kbits every time...
When tethered to my laptop.. 1000kbits +
its all about how efficient the browser you use is.
1xrtt, 1xEVDO, 1xEVDO-REV-A Lesson ,,,, again
Ok here it is,
I Do this for a living so here it is for real : 1xRTT shares voice resources, download speed max is 153.6kbps, up is 56k. 1xEVDO is an overlay with dedicated radio channels and up to 4 T1 spans connected directly to the front of the DOM (Data Only Module) with max theoretical download speed of 2.4mbps and max upload of 153.6kbps, this due to the reverse being similar to standard CDMA. REV-A is same sort of DOM but now called a DOM-A and has a max theoretical download speed of 3.5mbps and upload of 1.8mbps because the reverse link is true EVDO. If there is only 1 T1 on the DOM you will not exceed 1.54, actually 1.2 because of overhead bits, and remember also about EVDO that speeds drop more sharply with signal loss than 1xRTT does. There is no REV-A active indicator on the 6800, but it is now on by default, so if it is there you will have it.
Anyone got an upstream test I can run to test for RevA speeds? My download speeds have not changed since I upgraded.

Thanks MadMan for the info. Very helpful indeed. I assume bits not bytes in the speed units?

Yes, it's in bits not bytes
Ok, I just did a speed test using DCD's 3.2.5 ROM with radio 3.24.50 ROM.
===
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Download Speed: 1861 kbps (232.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 588 kbps (73.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
===
SETUP:
I hooked up my phone via USB, went to Comm Manager, turned on internet sharing, clicked "Connect" on the screen. then I disabled all my other network adapters, and unplugged any internet cables. I disabled the WiFi and the Internal NIC, and unplugged the cat5 from the NIC. Also, I got my IP from 'whatismyip.org' and ran a WhoIS, and it was a Verizon IP. So this is the most clean/variable free test you can get. I had full bars too, but I do not know how far I am from the nerest tower. Just thought I would share that.

I would have liked to see you run the speed test on the device with at least PIE in the same location at about the same time to see the difference.
It certianly seems to me that while the phone can achieve fast speeds, the software and amount of free resources based on other applications running will have a major impact on the speeds you see. As I Posted earlier the speed in IE, Opera, and while tethered were dramatically different.. all performed within 5 minutes of each other in the same place.
Just because you dont see major speed on the speed tests does not mean Rev A isn't working.
I didn't have to do anything for my Rev. A to work. I am tethered to my laptop and get amazingly fast speeds with only 1 bar of signal strength. I am in Des Moines, IA and love my Sprint PCS!

Anybody? A speedtest I can run in pIE that does upload speed testing?
dslreports.com/mspeed
and mobilespeedtest.com only test downstream...

i never said RevA wasnt working, i am not the thread starter, i just posted my speeds for the heck of it.

Delicious!
Sorry couldn't help it. pIE = pocket Internet Explorer. ie: the default browser.
I'm seeing the following from http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ w/ the USB connection to my laptop.
Download Speed: 1201 kbps (150.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 453 kbps (56.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
dcd 3.2.5
3.42.30
im getting 1600 kb/s download speed with wmwifirouter and 1000 kb/s with pdanet. havent tried ICS.
I'm in fort worth tx and my speeds fluctuate from 50 to about 350kbs. The prl is 60613 and the rom is 3.56, radio is 3.42.02 and pri is 2.04-003. The last month or 2 the data speeds have been slow as molasses. That's tethering with pdnet and pie on the phone. Could somebody throw me a bone on this. Thanks.
My first post so I hope it is in the right place!!!
Speedtest.net using Opera 9 reports the following speeds:
T-Mobile USA: EDGE (E symbol, but HSDPA set to 'on', no H/3G symbol)
Download: ~1500 kb/s
Upload: ~ 50 kb/s
Rebooted phone and tested several times, and different days.
My setup: HTC Advantage original unlocked now upgraded as:
Michy's latest ROM, WM 6.1, Radio 1.57, SPL 1.2.
Everything works beautifully!! But the speed reports are not right??!! Or is it just me.
The question is then: What is the most reliable speed test site for MOBILE Phones...
And thanks to all the great folks on this site...my first attempt at upgrading went very smoothly due to the tons of info on this site.
I always use Mobile Speed Test ( http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 ). I always get about 150 kbps on Edge, and between 750 and 1000 kps on 3G/H. My best test ever was 1200. Those numbers match up well with the expected high speeds from E and 3G/H.
Happily I haven't seen Edge for over a month now... AT&T turned 3G/H on for a good chunk of the East coast about a month ago and now everywhere I go on a regular basis has high speed access. Yay!
See it here: http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/ Zoom in one click and check the 3G checkbox. There's now a huge section from northern Virginia to Portland, Maine with non-stop 3G. I didn't have high-speed at home before, way out in the country, but now I do.
Thanks...techntrek
Still in holiday mode!!!
Thanks for your reply, will check on advised site.
hi
for daily use i have an iphone 3g..
im carrying my athena for creating a internet enabled wireless network while im not at home..by using wifirouter..
the problem is even with hsdpa option my 3g data speeds are topped or maxed at 1.2 - 1.8 mb/sec.. while if i try with the iphone i get upto 7.2 mb/sec
which rom is the best for 3g/gprs data speeds ????
thanks...............
have you try radio 1.58? not sure how it fair in your setup.
I have radio 1.58 (the fastest by far for high-speed data), and ROM AP4, and I usually top out at 1.2 mb/sec. Never been close to 1.8. Might be a limitation of the chipset?
Hey,
I'm running CM7 on a lg p509, and everything is perfect, just a small question. My upload rate when connected by hsdpa seems to be limited to 0.13MB/s, while download is fine , always above 1MB. Is there something with the radio, different phone version (p509 instead of p500)? I'm sure its something to do with my phone since I just tried my friends on the same network and his upload was higher. I don't think I ever flashed a new band, so its still on original radio. Just new rom, and on mobilicity in canada.
thanks for any help

HSDPA is for high speed downloading while for high speed uploading,u need HSUPA which our phone doesnt have.This is the reason why uploading speed is less.
Our phone does'nt support
HSUPA-high speed uplink packet access
(responsible for high speed data upload)
Our phone only support
HSDPA - high speed downlink access

wow thats kinda weird. It doesnt really matter to me since I barely upload anything, but even my brothers crappy motorola spice has hsupa.
