Hi guys, I've tried searching, but couldn't really find an answer, so decided to post here. I tried running mobilespeedtest.com on my leo without wifi connection.. The results was 138kbps.. Is this normal? I ran this test with my dad's iphone 4 side by side, his was like 400+kbps!!! I'm using opera 9.7.. Is there any way that we can improve the connection speed?? Radio maybe?? Need your input guys... thanks a million... I'm living in Singapore by the way, and when I ran the test, the "H" logo was there so I guess it's on a hsdpa network? Gosh.. I'm lost... Oh ya, I was running the 100kb test..
nobody at all???

Hiya,
Ive unlocked my O2 XDA and started using my T-Mobile sim card with it as I get a great GPRS deal with it. The problem is that with O2 it connects to GPRS straight away and have no problems with it. But with T-mobile, its all over the place, most of the time it doesnt connect and when i'm searching on the web it only displays pocket pc friendly pages or disconnects within a few minutes. Not like the O2 one, which seemed so stable. Could it be something in the settings as I set them up manually? I could do with get it up and running as it will save me loads of cash. I'd appreciate any help you can give. I'm using the WM2003 which I got from the ROM kitchen, which I lurve.
Thanks in advance.

If it makes you feel any better, my T-Mobile GPRS service sucks with both the T-Mobile ROM and WM2003. It just sucks. I am currently using the radio ROM 6.18. I do not know if 6.24 is any better.
Hi! Just to let you know that I took the plunge and upgraded my Radio stack to 6.24 on my T-Mobile device. It works much better for me! I now have "always on". Now, I'm not saying the "speed" is any faster but at least it now stays "connected" even when it is turned off.. I am using it with WM2003. I have not upgraded to the latest T-Mobile version. :lol:
So you see no improvement in the speed of downloading or connecting in the first place? Is the only improvement just the constant connection?
It connects very fast to the network but the speed is still pretty slow on most searches and downloads. Having said that, I am very happy now that it stays connected all the time (albeit, as long as I am in an area of coverage) and does not drop out when I have a call come in or the unit it self powers off the screen. I will be one of the 1st, I am sure, to buy one of the new XDA II's when available, if for no other reason than to see if WM2003 works better with that unit than with the current XDA version.
I looked forward to see how the unit works with Wi-Fi at my local coffee shop..

The always on connection is a big deal to me.
I usually go out with 3 connections open:
-Ezwap pointing to a yahoo wap page of market indices
-My brokage software open to my fav stocks
-PIE pointing to a news site,forum or my blog.
All these on pause mode as we pay by the Kb here.
I will refresh each of these pages as and when needed
throughout the day.
The best is calls can still come in AND your battery
will last the day. Try that with WiFi!
Only wish Xda2 will have Class A? gprs where you
can talk and surf at the same time.
I've just got a sim only contract for my hd2 with "unlimited" internet access, and the first thing i did was check the internet speeds on winmo using :http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 (Down: 0.119mb/s)
Then tested it using the ookla speedtest app on android (Hyperdroid, Bangsters, SuperHD2, mattc froyosense) all of them the newest build, and the highest I could get was 0.219mb/s, with a downlink of 0.19
I checked the 3g coverage in my area using the virgin media website and I've been told it's "VERY GOOD"...
Is this the speeds I'm meant to be getting? If so, it seems that I was expecting too much from my hd2 + virgin mobile combination.
Oh, one last thing, my brother with a 5800 Xpressmusic told me that he got speeds of 2.89mb/s, we're on the same virgin mobile network.
I know with Tmo I get around 2+mbs down. Just depends on your area and several other factors like network usuage in your area and so on and so on.

:O Must be the phone then, cos brother was trying it just 5 feet away from me, anyone with artemis rom in the same boat as me?
Update: Just went back to shubcraft build, and getting 0.5mb/s+ ... so, twice as much as bfr.
Oh, and forgot to mention, moved to the 2.14 radio ... Will try the other builds and see if its a build issue or a radio one.
How is that radio working for you with Shui's build?? Any probs with sound on incoming/outgoing calls?? You using PPP or RMNET?? PPP with that build I was getting high mid 2-3mbps.On this WinMo Rom I'm getting about 2mbps.
Hi guys, sorry if this isn't the place to post this, I don't have the post count yet to ask in the CM7 thread in the development section.
Anywho, ever since I flashed CM7 on my phone, I haven't been able to get a good HSPA+ connection. It keeps wavering from H+ to 3G. And if I do get a connection to H+, it is dead slow (did speakeasy speed test and got .4 down .1 up).
I also did the ATT data fix, but that seems to not work either.
Any help to my problem?
Mine seems to jump between 3G & H but I never thought to blame it on the ROM. Speeds are solid on both so didn't see it as an issue. Also I flashed CM7 right when I pulled it out of the box so don't know if it did that on stock or not.

The only reason why I think it may have something to do with CM7 is because before I was unrooted stock rom, and I had consistent H+ signal, with 6-7 down 2 up. Ever since I flashed, it has been very sluggish. Even my old Desire had consistent H+ signal in the areas tested. Not sure what's going on. Maybe it's a setting that I need to tweak or turn on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am going through this as well......and the only answer that even remotely helps is using different modems....i was at 200-300kbps ALL the time.
i started flashing modems and found that got up to around 3-4 mbps on a good run but thats still high for me. its the main reason i am thinking of getting the US varient.
i was expecting to see at least a CONSISTANT 4-6 Mbps and i am struggling to keep a strong 2-3 and it makes surfing and downloading apps and files a drag.
if anyone has any other thoughts i would love to try them out.

This happens every where i go so far.....
can someone around the bay area with average download speed of 1-5 mbps or more post a screen shot of their mobile network setting ? so we can compare ??
Also, another thing i was thinking is that would it be because i am on prepaid plan ? it shouldn't have anything to do with that right ? its all non smartphone data service for prepaid or postpaid account..... i think..... soooo confused

If its anything like Tmobile, the pay as you go plans lack roaming. So your signal will suffer. My buddy found this out after picking up a pay as you go plan. Call the network and ask if they have roaming on your plan. Then call a few more times to get a general consensus lol.

Hi friends,
I'm new at this forum.
Let me tell my problem.
For the last two days i have a slow 3g connection on my HTC one X+.
There is no slowness when i'm using wi-fi.
I tested 3g connection with speedtest app and i saw only upload speed is too slow (Download speed is around 12 Mbps and upload speed is 0.00 Mbps)
I called my gsm operator and they said it is not related with them.
Did you encounter such a problem?
Or do you have any ideas about it?
Thanks in advance.
