I'm using the new DCD 2.0 rom with great results -- and since I've been just a lurker for awhile, a big THANK YOU to everyone working on that.
I have a quick question: How do I know if it's connected using Rev A? I'm not seeing any performance differences, though there should be Rev A coverage here... just curious
There are a few mobile bandwidth tests that you can run.
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1
my average looks about 611 kbit/sec... that is the same as before the Rev A upgrade. this means Rev A isn't working? and to judge by reports from others, I guess nobody really has it working?
sorry to put those as a question, butas far as I can tell, there is no evidence of a speed diff w/ the new radio.
gps works great, of course... and on WM6.1, everything is faster. just not data...
Are you sure you have Rev A in your area?
I'm getting around 900k now... before I was in the 200k range, if I was lucky!
Check out this site for an idea of Rev. A coverage in your area.
Hint: The more that submit the more accurate it becomes...
http://evdomaps.com/
Rev A is definetly working on the 3.16 ROMs. I used to average around 400-600 down and never more than about 120 up. Now I'm averaging around 1 meg down and 300 up. The best I've gotten was 2.2 down, 540 up. Definetly Rev A...
My upload speed is faster, but my download speeds are still the same. Then again, I've always wondered how good the EVDO network in my area actually is.
I like this entry on EVDO Maps:
200 Consillium Place Toronto, ON M1H 3J3
Carrier: Verizon Create Date: 6/29/2007
Computer: CANADAPK Update Date: 6/29/2007
Network: RevA Location: outdoors
Download: 1972 Upload: 640
dBm: Bars:
This is TELUS Mobility HQ.... almost 2megs/sec download!
interesting.
I'm in Utah Valley, in ... err... well, Utah. Sprint's maps all show full coverage, but I thought I saw a map once that had specifically Rev A. now I can't find it.
maybe they don't have it here yet... that would be strange, given the unusually high concentration of technology companies that are found around here, even despite Novell's slow decline. But, I've been getting 400-1000kbps since I got my phone, not just since the update... no noticable change.
maybe someday they'll get it going and suddenly everything will speed up =]
too bad there is no indication other than speed of which rev the evdo is running. it would be interesting
do you really mainly notice Rev A speeds when you use your phone as a modem? i thought i'd really be able to see a difference with Rev A using slingplayer, but i get the same speeds as i did on my old rom. i live around pittsburgh as well which is supossed to be a rev A area.
Check the latency
As a general statement, the improvements from Rev. 0 to Rev. A are not that impressive on the download side. Yes, the improvements on the upload side should be more impressive, but how many people are doing any significant uploading?
On the other hand, the latency should improve considerably and I think most people overlook that. It's a pretty big deal.
We just got finished upgrading the embedded WWAN on a bunch of laptops at work from Rev. 0 to Rev. A and I can tell you the entire improvement was in the latency. The responsiveness was much improved.
I would be checking that first. Do some before and after tests and report them back.
yeah, ive definately seen an improvement in latency, i used to get 1s+ pinging google, now i average about 125ms
wow
i flashed to the leaked htc 3.16 first and my download is really slow, more like 288 to 488. but when i flashed to dcd's 2.0 i got 997/sec. thats amazing. big difference. i used the same mobile speed site.
edit:
just did another test 1020/sec thats cool. I myt not get the same speed all the time but it feels good knowing i wont go anywhere near the slow speed of pass roms.
I get around 2.23MBPS download using opera mini and the running the Leaked 3.16 ROM. Much faster than my previous 400-1.2MBPS download on the 2.16 ROM. Funny thing is that, when i switch from opera mini to Opera Mobile, or IE, i get really slow speeds, maybe top at 1MBPS but usually like 500KBPS. Its like only opera mini can use the Rev.A while the other two stick with the Rev.0
well, i'm getting about 110 down, and i live in chicago where we have rev A, i've never been able to get more than 1x
anyone have any ideas on why that i live in a rev a area, i only get 1x, always only get 1 x
600-900kbs avg for me on TELUS

Remember that Opera Mini goes through a server and strips some data from the images so they load faster on your device, which in turn shows inflated download speeds. Opera Mobile and IE are loading the raw data so it takes longer, thus yielding the "real" speed results.
I thought that Rev A was supposed to support simultaneous Data and Voice connections? I was not able to load a website while on a call. Is this something that needs to be activated by the carrier? Should I be able to do both on the new ROM? I see that there is still a CDMA1X connect that happens when I load a webpage, or at first data usage...any ideas?

Saw this on ppcgeeks, I was wondering what xda users' speeds were (rev a or not) on their titan...

1603k
opera mini
rev a. update
titan, sprint leaked rom
chicago (NW suburbs)
anywhere from 200k to 1200k
in ie
but, i can't seem to run the test again through opera mini, says to fast/unstable, do i need to clear some cache from opera? so many of these tests seem so off, like running from ie vs opera..
can anyone recommend good websites for testing from the phone (non flash) for accurate results?
I did the 1 meg test for the dcd's titan rom 2.0.0 on my Verizon Titan w/Rev A 3.27.00 Radio ROM
911 kbit/sec - 985 kbit/sec
0.293s to 0.198s latency
9.228s to 8.445s d/l time
I am getting 900k or better on a regular basis, same test site. I cant use speedtest.net for whatever reason cause the phone wont load properly.
If anyone is using other speed test sites, let me know.
I get 200 to 900 on Alltell in Springfield Missouri on the stock ROM. My results are all over the board. It bounces up and down plus or minus 300 kbits from one second to the next in the same physical spot. I check it often since it was my reason for switching to Alltel. It seems strange that it supposedly fluctuates so greatly from one second to the next as Im standing still.

Puts a lot of stress on the CPU to have to both load and render the pages. You see the same effect on a PC if you have no video drivers installed.
There's a non-Java test at www.mobilespeedtest.com. With ROM version 2.09 and only PIE running, I got top EVDO speeds around 955kbps when testing five times in a row, with an average of about 865k when throwing out the one-time 245k result.

Sigh. Close to goin nuts here. Sprint Touch Pro EVDO Internet Speed vs. Mogul.
Trying to be clear and concise as possible here. I've searched forums here and at PPC and Google. I don't think I'm that much of a n00b ROMing and customizing my Mogul for the past almost 18 months.
Heres the issue: I have, for the last 3 days, Activated, Deactivated, and Reactivated my Mogul and my Touch Pro (Raphael) to test something I am experiencing.....
Severely sluggish Internet Speed Tests on my Touch Pro.
I am using http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?t=1&s=1024&w= which is the 1MB file download.
Sitting in the same exact seat, either here at my office or at home I get around 900 down on the Mogul. IF, and only IF, the Touch Pro is able to completely download the dummy file for the speed test (it usually craps out right at 460) the test is rated in the 150 down range.
I'd like to also add, that when downloading the file, I will have 4 Bars and the In/Out Airows and then all the suddent they will dissappear and reappear... this is usually when the time out occurs.
I started tooling with this because I found I could not watch Youtube or Sprint TV like I used to be able to on the Mogul without it to either take a long time to buffer in the beginning or just play the first minute or so and then start buffering forever again.
I can not figure this out. Is anyone else experiencing EVDO performance issues versus their previous Sprint EVDO Rev. A device?
I have tried all of the different Radios, no change, and different ROMs from Stock, to Boreds, to MightyMouse and back to Stock.
Care to weigh in?
Tweaking your Sprint Touch Pro
Try downloading the Advanced Configuration Tool from:
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool.html
It is a free application and helps to tweak the bandwidth for download/upload and a lot of other settings. It also adjusts the sensitivity of the screen so you don't have to press as hard during scrolling. There are over 200 adjustments that can be made and some of them have "advised" settings to help you out. It makes a noticeable difference for internet speeds and other items.
Also get Net Framework 3.5 from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en
PHM Registry Editor will also be needed to adjust some settings depending on what Mods you download:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/09/04/phm-registry-editor-registry-editor-for-pocket-pc.html
I hope this helps some....best of luck
what settings need to be tweaked in the Advanced Configuration Tool and the Registry to fix this because my internet is also very sluggish at times too.
also having a problem. Mogul gets 1500-1900k, my TP gets ~300k. On sprint.
[HOTFIX] - Go under Advance Config Tool and under the network settings tap increase the tcp window size to the greatest value. My internet is flying now just had 1500 kb/s on the Sprint EVDO Network compared to 500k/b i used to have

Is the TCP Window the only thing you changed? I changed mine and my speed went from 300 kb/s to 190 kb/s.

Yea it was but make sure your tcp retransmissions are set to 8 or 10 times and make sure DHCP is enabled. Also keep taking the test it might take awhile for connections 2 be received. There might be something interferring with ur connection if like a tweak(cab) or registry edit u might have done.
I just used a program that I down loaded from a Russian site called tcptune. worked great. Don't use any of the presets just play with the tweaks. I have mine optimized, and I am getting about 900-1500 mbs. Works great. You may alos wan to go to DSLreports.com for some tips. I have attached the file
Just Did some Tweaks with the software I recommended. Here are the results from mobilespeedtest.com.
You should be able to get some great results. I have been looking for software to do this for a longtime.
I have attached a screen shot of the results. I would like to get some banter going on tweaks for internet speed re: HTC Touch Pro, and in particular Sprint EVDO rev A.
It's like nobody else does this? I have been tweaking internet speeds on my PC's for years to optimize speed.
So has anybody else been tweaking. I just tweaked my phone with a higher rwin, and have got some great speeds.
My speed test
I have a HTC Touch Pro on the way, should be here in the morning. I ran the speed test on mobilespeedtest.com and my result was 8445 kbps at 3MB on my mogul 6800. Why am I so much faster than what you guys are showing? I hope I can get my Touch Pro up to this speed.
What browser are you using?
I used the software that i provided (tcptune). After doing research, my final settings for Cellular line 1, and Cellular line 2, I set the settings up as following:
Rwin: 98304
Windows Scaling on
TTL 128
MTU Discovery on
Selective Acks on
Time Stamps off
I posted the one screen shot where I got over 2500 kbps on a lucky day
I regularly get 1200 to 1500 kbps with the tweaks I noted.
My previous speeds were 350-450 kbps regularly.
I am on Sprint, and let me tell you these tweaks make a world of difference, with no ill effects.
Slikgman:
Are sure about those numbers. 8445 kbps is 8.5 Mbps
I don't think that Verizon or Sprint even support those speeds.
You are talking like close to Ethernet (10 Mbps) speeds over wireless.
Are you sure you not talking 844 kbps?

I know it sounds crazy, thats why I posted it. When I used DSLreport.com I got around 1000kbps and sometime 600kbps. With mobilespeedtest.com Im a Rock Star!!!! I just ran it again and it is 8108 kbps. I am using Opra Mini for my browser.
I ran the same test on my work computer (desktop) to see what it would be and I was reported running at around 3652 kbps. So my phone was faster than my work connection. LOL
I just got my Touch Pro, and I have never sync my mogule to my computer.
How do I get my contacts to my new PRO? I am running Vista and my mobile Device Center is not doing anything when I connect my 6800.
Are you using opera for the speed test?
If yes, you cant use opera.. Try internet explorer.
the 8.5m is not ur speed it is opera's proxy server speed
remember opera mini and skyfire use proxy servers, so all ur internet requests with those browser go from ur phone to there servers and then those servers have super fast internet to grab the page that u requested wich then they will make it a lot smaller and send it right back to u
Internet explorer 425kbps...... That sucks, thanks a lot guys!!!!!
LOL

I set the rwin to 225000 and Im getting a little over 1500kbps right now. I cant wait to see what its like this evening.
When I go to dslreports I get slow speeds but when I go to mobilespeedtest I get phenomenal speeds. Which one should I believe?
Y'all probably thought this was another one of those "OMG my speeds are terrible! the photon 4g's speeds aren't terrible so why are my speeds garbage?!?!?!?!" If that's what you expected...well...I'm sorry that's what our General section has become. Anyways, let me go to my point:
So I was looking into my 3G speeds..they've been terrible lately (of course)..so I'm just dicking around with my phone trying to get it right...
I found out that the 3G speeds on the dual core kernels is a lot better than stock. So that got me wondering "maybe the 3G relies more on the second processor and the reason why the dual core kernels have better speeds is because the second processor is always active." I've been going back and forth on dual core and stock and it looked like it was holding up but I started thinking "that can't be right" so...I went with the stock kernel and just put it on performance and went back to testing...and sure enough, the 3G speeds are better. Not insanely better but before putting it on performance my ping was around 1200-1800ms...after, its around 700-900ms.
Here's why I think our speeds suck...it's because HTC is actually making decent kernels. Our phones sleep like babies and with the ondemand governor...the up threshold is at 90 by default...so that prevents the phone jumping up to 1.2GHz all of the time. But I'm thinking that's actually hurting us because our phones actually have to do some real work before it goes from 400MHz to 1.2GHz. So we could be in the browser with the ondemand governor and the up threshold at 90 and trying to open a page...our processor might jump to 800MHz but since that's not a lot of power...our 3G speeds will suffer. Now if it were just at 1.2GHz to begin with, it'd be a lot better.
So if what I'm thinking is right...we probably aren't even benefiting from having our CPU's hang around lower frequencies because if my ping is 1800ms...my 3G has to be on longer just to load up a page when compared to a phone with a ping of 900ms...So I'm starting to think that we are actually hurting ourselves by trying our hardest to save as much battery as possible.
Ill flash a dual core kernel now and post before and after results.
Thanks for the info. My 3g speeds are making me mental (I didn't update prl either)

Thank you sir. My speeds are making me crazy as well...and I just decided to post this because I know it'll get people testing on it too that way we can all come to a conclusion on SOMETHING. We've all been saying our 3G speeds suck for a while and now it's time to pinpoint the problem.
And I think I owe the thread this much:
I live in Dallas and at my house I was working with 3-4 bars when using the speedtest app.
First I just used the ondemand governor at 1.2GHz and up threshold of 90 and got ~1200ms the first and second time and then ~1800ms the third time.
I went to the dual core kernel that I think smokey made...and I used his VOC one (because you can mess with setCPU with that one) and my ping was around 400-600ms.
I went back to my stock kernel and lowered the up threshold to 40 and I was still getting around 1000ms-1500ms...averaging basically 1200ms.
I put it on performance and at first got ~700ms then ~900ms then 400-600ms and I got a best of ~300ms.
Also:
"In most constant-voltage cases it is more efficient to run briefly at peak speed and stay in a deep idle state for longer (called "race to idle"), than it is to run at a reduced clock rate for a long time and only stay briefly in a light idle state"
I read taht from wikipedia. That's why I'm against setCPU profiles with the screen off. It is in fact better to use those profiles with 2.3.x than 2.2 because I remember 2.2 wasn't really killing any apps so if you were awake with the screen off..you pretty much stay awake. But it's also important to note that it does take longer for the processor to go into an idle mode if you are using any governor other than performance because of the fact that you have to scale up...and depending on how the dev decided to "conserve" battery, it might take a really long time.
But at the same time..you're using unnecessary power when at 1.2GHz to handle something real small...but since the whole CPU isn't being used to handle that (according to System Panel), and at an increased frequency like 1.2GHz...you'd be able to knock the task out quicker...idk, I'm just thinking.
Just wanted to show you my before now because it may be a few minutes to post my after.
Notice that teensy weeny 1 bar next to my 3g. That's pretty normal when I'm home (thank god for wifi). Ill be back!

I've noticed a little bit of a difference but I also know sometimes it takes time for a kernel to settle in.
Both screen shots are from the same place in my house.
This is a placebo. You can update your prl to 00001 and see a real speed increase. The real problem is with sprints backhaul network. With the same kernel I go from 100 kbps on sprint to 1000 kbps on Verizon. Fact.

You see, the only real problem is that if you roam too much on one of those PRLs (and you're always roaming, technically) Sprint will tell you that you're roaming too much and they'll drop you if it continues. If it does, then they'll send you a letter informing you that your service will be terminated and they give you X amount of days to find a new service before they officially discontinue your service. Those PRLs are great because I get excellent service, but if you plan on using 3G like crazy (even in WiFi spots) expect that letter. I never noticed any difference in my speeds and only used the PRL for a day or two, but if you like it go for it. It should also be noted that some guys have been using the PRL hack for around a year without anything to show for on Sprint's side, in terms of angry letters and whatnot, so you may be fine. It's all preference.
Hmmmmm. I've been with sprint for 10 years. I'm gonna have to think about that one. If I could get 4g from it (I know I can't), it would be a no brainer. But to chance losing sprint may not be worth a few more kbps.
Edit. You know what really grinds my gears? (Everyone knows where that's from). Is my niece is visiting and she has a thunderbolt. I just ran speed tests on her 4g and my 3d over wifi and she wooped me by almost 4 mbps. Just ain't fair.

It's so frustrating, Sprint's overloaded network needs a biiiggg tuneup. And that announcement they're supposed to make coming up soon about their network (from an article I read on Engadget a week or so ago) hopefully will let us know about LTE integration or somehow fixing our crawling data speeds... but hey, you could give the 00001 PRL a run and if they tell you that you're roaming too much then drop the PRL, and go back to normal ones. I personally don't think it's worth it but also I spend most of the day in school (with WiFi) or at home (with WiFi) so it doesn't affect me too much. But not even getting 4G at home or school sucks a lot.
so if your saying on demand gov is hurting our 3g, then should setting it on performance get higher speed? considering thata the cpu running at max speed? JW.
I dont get why everyone trusts speed.net or whatever. I ran a test with my evo3d and my samsung transform side by side. the transform always showed higher speeds but always took longer load up or down. my evo would be done way before the transform and would never read as high of speeds. Also tested my nexus and photon and they all avg around the same for me.

I'm running Empire's AOSP rom (he has sound working btw so if you didn't know that, now you know. Go download and support!) and I did a speed test...my ping averages less than 100ms! The most I've seen was ~120ms. Remember what I was saying when I was on Sense? I was getting a best of 500-600ms on a dual core kernel and about 1200-1800ms on stock.
Sense seems to not only be messing up the performance...but its probably tanking our 3G speeds as well. I mean this is ridiculous....from ~1200ms to ~100ms. C'mon HTC Sense...
just ran another test after a reboot...ping was actually over 120ms (it was 148) and my download was 1334kbps and the upload was 635kbps. **** you Sense.
Is this phone supposed to be any faster than the Captivate (Galaxy S), data wise, assuming one is in the 3G section of the AT&T site and the other in the 4G section, or is there really no jump at all? I just tried a speed test with a Captivate and my GSII, and both showed the same speed on speed test which is pretty weird in my opinion...
Really depends on your area, in socal valley I can run a captivate right next the SGS2 and get the same results with the captivate slightly slower with uploads (fixed usually with a I9000 modem)
That's what I did too, haha...Put a Captivate and GSII next to each other in SoCal, and the speed was the same, so I was like =0.
I am in a HSPA+ service area, on my captivate I almost never saw more that 2Mbps down, I see just over 3 on my i777.

I'm getting way better speeds on my SGS2 than I was getting on my Captivate. I have my gs2 stock, but it's still faster than my Captivate stock, with stock froyo, and with numerous roms. I don't remember exactly what my speed tests were with my Cappy (around 1.5 - 3 DL and .5 to .8 Up), but I'm getting 6+ to 8 DL and 1.5 Up with my sg2
Depends on if you have a real H+ coverage?
To me it's about 3 times faster than captivate in house.
Was getting 600KB/s in a 3g area whereas the captivate only got 300 (no HSPA+ in my neighborhood)

when I used to use the speedtest app, I got the same data speeds on my captivate and my gs2. As soon as I used the speedtest via the browser, it showed the speed difference.
Yeah, this makes more sense, the browser application and the speed test application have varying numbers...I guess speed test application =/= reliable
yeah, its documented in a few places that the speedtest app is not reliable (maybe on some devices?)
I use the FCC speed test app, more accurate results
I know this is an old thread but I didnt want to start a new one for this. I have been running side by side speed tests with a captivate running cm7. On my gs2 I'm running unnamed 2.1.1 with the UCKK6 modem. I am consistently getting better speeds on the captivate than I am on the GS2 (sometimes over 1+mbps higher) The gs2 has never gotten higher speeds than the captivate. I've tried different modems, Ive run the FCC speed test, the normal speedtest app and the speakeasy.net website all yielding the same results. I'm in an area that is supposed to have great HSPA+ coverage. I just dont understand why my GS2 isnt getting higher speeds than the captivate since it's HSPA+ and the captivate is only 3G(if I'm not mistaken) Both phones were new orders so new sims, service etc..
My captivate RARELY got to 4mbps. My sgsII usually hovers around 6-8mbps

my Gs2 hasnt gotten over 4 yet
Just now I went outside and did a speed test. my captivate pulled a little over 4mbps and my gs2 was at 3.
Yeah i guess i have to try to different modems and settings because my captivate was pulling 5300 down and 1100 up and my GS2 is only doing a meg faster down and the same up. It kind of retarded that i had to switch my sim card to a 4g one if my speed did not really change. Does anyone know if the 3g supercharger works for 4g. I was going to ask Zep but i figured id ask here since i was making post around the subject

??? What 3G supercharger?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276&highlight=v6+supercharger
Zepplinrox's V6 supercharger Kick Ass Kernal (KAK) Tweaks and 3g turbocharger. You have to go to the 4th line down where it says most recent files here to get KAK and the 3g turbocharger. It worked pretty well for my captivate. I think im going to apply it to my SGSII even though its runs as smooth as can be just because i like overkill lol
/me gets popcorn while awaiting results.
I'm in Dallas, TX so AT&T coverage is not an issue here, and I get the same speed on the Captivate and the SGS2 an average of 3mbps down.

lol Zep your the man. Well i havent had time to try all settings thoughly to get a clear and concise judgement on the 3g turbocharger. I started off only getting around 6.3m down and 1.1m up. I ran tweakker and my next tests immediately after were all around 5.6 down 1.1 up. The next day, however, they jumped up to around 7.4 down 1.1 up. I applied 3g turbocharger fastest and experimental and test after that were around 8.3 afterwards. I ran the test five to six times on speedtest.net. I need to create an acct. so i can track this stuff. I was using the app but the app was showing 2m less consitantly on my down speeds. i really should have ran my phone longer after using tweakker to make sure around 7.4 was going to be my norm peak.
I applied V6 supercharger through build.prop and integrated running die-hard & 1000hp and also applied KAK tweak with I/O tweaks off as my phone locked up when i applied the I/O tweaks but thats probably because mine is set to CFQ. Dont know why and will probably set it to deadline. The one thing this fixed for me was the transition using the browser. Going in and out of the browser was never as snappy until now. I just cant slow this MFer down. I was concerned that i let my impatience get the best of me picking up this phone instead of waiting on the next gen as i only get a new phone when i can upgrade every 18 months but i have no doubt this phone will last me the next 18 month easily. Thanks to Entropy512, GTX465x, and Zeppelinrox My phone runs buttery smooth and i have not yet stumbled on a single hiccup. My hat is off to you gents. I feel like my phone is set for overkill and ICS still isnt out and i havent tried to go to 1600mhz. Mine is running @ 1400 BTW and under volted by -100mV. I have a feeling my next phone upgrade is really only going to be for a better screen and camera as speed probably wont ever be an issue.
Hi guys,
I've got a question for you, my fellow Flyer users.
Recently I got a new Modem/Router from my ISP.
I installed everything and it all works without a hick up.
After the installation I tested the internet speed using the Speedtest.net site.
On both my Windows laptops an my wives Macbook the speed was excellent, about 40 Mbps download and 2.5 Mbps upload and a 15 ms ping.
Same on the Ipad 3 we have.
However, on my HTC Flyer I only get between 5 and 10 Mbps download but I do get 2.5 upload but the ping is nearly 100 ms.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be or what app I can best use to see whats up. I now think the Flyer only connects in WiFi B mode instead of G or N. And it has been doing this all the time. I used to think the browser was slow but I now think this might be the problem. Is there any way to change this forcefully?
The router is a Cisco EPC3925 and I use WPA2 TKIP-AES security. It's on channel 1, 40 Mhz wide (wide channel 5) and in 2.4 Ghz mode ...not 5 Ghz.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Martijn
Try to use channel 11....strange enough this helped me in the past when I had several problems with my wi-fi network. Otherwise you could try this....go to the wi- fi settings on you flyer, choose Advanced and then choose the first option.
Tried channel 11 and it doesn't make a difference.
Connection speed also varies alot.
My laptops and the Ipad have good speed everywhere in the house.
But the HTC only in the proximity (< 4m.) of the router. And even then it is still way slower than the other devices. If I move further from the router the speed collapses.
Best I get is about 28Mbps while the others get around 38 and up to 52 Mbps.
Shame, I had a higher expectations of the Flyer.
Next I will put my old Belkin N router in the network as access point and see what happens.
First time I ever heard anyone complain about 20Mbs. you sure you got those numbers right? Most of use don't have a ISP that can even approach that. So you will get little sympathy. Anyway ping should only be between your router and the external IP, so whats up with that? Speedtest.net is a poor way to measure device performance since there are so many factors in between. Use a local lan speed test or you might just be measuring browser speed and nothing to do with the hardware.
I've seen a similar behavior some time ago.
Here is what I've got:
Speedtest on my desktop gives me about 20-25M
I turn my Flyer on, run the test, I get 4-6M.
I turn Airplane mode on, turn it off, test the speed. I get 20-25M.
I'm guessing throughput got something to do with the sleep mode.
Hi all,
First of, I'm talking about Mbps (Mega bits per second) NOT MBs (Mega Bytes per second). Huge difference there.
And 20 Mbps is of course a good speed, but its unsteady and way slower than the other devices.
As I wrote before my Ipad and laptops never go below 35 Mbps and I'm lucky if I get the Flyer over 20 Mbps. With my ISP promissing about 50 Mbps thats a big difference.
So I'm just dissapointed with the performance of the Flyer which I thought to be a top of the line tablet.
So thats why I placed the thread. I tried the air plane mode thing and different channels, taking into account which are busy around me. But stil slower than the rest and alot of different readings between messurments. Even using my ISP speedtest app, even then same result.
But judging by the lack of respons I gather I am the only one. Pity I hoped for a solution.
Any thanks for taking the time to help me.
cheers
