Bought my Rezound last night and noticed slight lag in text messenging.
I ran some speed tests to check things out.
I'm getting blazing fast download speeds, like 30mb on 4g and where my PC is getting 16mb on a WiFi connect my Rezound is pulling closer to 20mb sitting right next to it.
However, using the same WiFi connect my PC pulls 9mb upload speeds and my Rezound is either puttering around the 1-2 mb range or barely finishes the test at around 0.
Same with 4g connection, and I'm using speedtest.net aswell as Speakeasy just to make sure.
Also tested is my droid incredible. Consisent with the laptop I get around 15 mb download speeds with 8 or 9 mb upload. Rezound results around 19 to 20 down and .6 mb upload.
I exchanged the phone for a brand new one today and am having the same issues.
It does not make sense and I was wondering if anyone here has any similar experiences or could give me an idea to what the issue is.
Thanks
Nope. Getting the best upload speeds then every device I've ever owned.

I have not had that issue myself. You can look at a ton of speedtest screenshots in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348357&highlight=post+your+speed+tests
I don't recall anyone mentioning that issue though.
I have 12 mbs internet at my house. When I connect with my phone and run a speed test I get around 6 mbs. At the very same time with my computer I get 11 mbs. I have best wifi performance checked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks too.

Ive heard people report that best wifi performance is a battery hog and doesnt help..
also is your using speedtest.net app try to select different locations for it. I have 3 servers in Dallas that i can choose from, and occasionally 1 of them gives me slower then normal readings.
I'm using a high end phone (samsung galaxy s3) clocked to 1600mhz and using siyah kernel. No matter what governor i set the phone to (even if it's only max freq), it WILL lag if i'm downloading thru torrent client. Not immediatly, but after say one hour. I have to stop the downloads/close the app to make my phone lag free.
My client is ttorrent (pro and lite have same prpblem), but i've experienced the same result with other clients (adownloader).
What the hell is the problem? I DO NOT get any lag when doing an html direct download, then why do i get any when using torrent clients? Even if one might say: your phone is frequently dumping cache onto the filesystem cuz torrent clients first make the file then they dump data on it, THEN i would answer: this happens if i download onto my phone, as well as on my CLASS 10 32gb microsd card. Also i have downloaded content from the web thru html direct with a download accelerator that made the file first, then dumped data on disk. I believe that this lag issue happening on a high end device is just insane!!! My phone is practically dead if i dont set governor to performance while downloading!
Any help? Anybody having the same issue?
EDIT: it might have something to do with the fact that after an hour or so of video streaming from the web the player (android stock) gets REALLY laggy?(along with the phone)

One hour? You should be happy m8.
This happens to me after 2 minutes. I need to restart te whole phone.
I tries EVERY torrent app available.
I gave up on torrents a long time ago with this phone.

Can't believe these are the modern 700€ smartphones!

Never had this problem with my s2.
It has been a downgrade in all areas except for the 720p screen and raw processing power.

That's too bad.
The s3 is a great device, it just needs some tweaking to be perfect.
Maybe it has something to do with the siyah kernel?

If the download speed is high, usually over 2-2,5 MB/s, it's normal, since the torrent client cannot write (flush) the data to the flash drive so fast. This happens on any computer. For example, this also happens on my computer, since I only have a 7200 RPM HDD and I download with 8.5 MB/s. This wouldn't be a problem if I had a high speed-write/read SSD, for example. Of course, if I allocate more RAM to the torrent client, it won't lag for a while, until the rest of the allocated RAM is filled.
So, this happens only when download speeds exceed the writing speed of the storage device. In our case, the flash drive.
lol why aren't your torrent files finished after 1 hour?
your sgs2' max download speed is as fast as the sgs3, which is why s2 didn't have any problems writing smaller ammounts of data at a time. look at your s2's dl speeds, then use your torrent to cap your speed to what your s2's is. that'll give you a true comparative. your memory card speed doesn't effect phones internal disk speed, which is where your system is.
personally, my s2 best torrent speed was 1.2mbps. my s3 can break 3, so even if the process can handle it, the internal memory can barely keep up, which shows everywhere else on your phone.
I don't think samsung bumped up the grade of internal storage coming from s2 to s3, just made it bigger.
does your torrent offer the option to save directly to external SD card? the torrents still run thru system unfortunately, but it will be less work on your internal that way.

Why in the first place you torrent with a phone?? =//
R: Torrent Client slpws down phone!
I'm going to answer all of you cuz since im a new member i only get to post once evry 5 mins-.-
Anyways:
We are not using sata disks, but flash drives. Solid state memory disks. They're VERY fast at copying. And my sdcard to which i usually download (but i have expierenced lag even if downloading onto phone memory) is class 10 (30mb read, more than 3 copy).
Also i live in italy, one of the continents with lowest download/upload speeds (can't imagine why), plus i live in an extra-urban area, so i get even slpwer speeds. 350kbps is the top of my download speed (sometimes 400). So download-copying problems are not the case, 100%.
Also the reason i download to my phone is because it makes it easier to have movies on the go always with me (i download only legal movies off the web
Also my streaming player lags when streaming, it's gotta have to be something conerning the samsung phone. Anybody on htc experience this?

Hi guys,
This has been bothering me for quite a long time and its very unusual for me at least.
So my friend has a WiFi connection (in theory 512 kbps )
When we try to download from browser from PC or Mobile(browser) speed is normal i e 70 - 80 kbps max.
But in Google Play Store speeds are ridiculously high. We tried from his Micromax and my Moto G too.
For example yesterday i downloaded Pocket Tanks (40 mb) in just few seconds. Updates are super fast too.
Even my 2 Mbps WiFi doesn't go so fast.
Its a good thing but I am trying to figure out why not on PC or Browser but only in Play Store?
Any guesses?

It's possible that you're reading different measurements. Remember the difference between a B and a b. A B is byte. A b is a bit. A byte is 8 bits. Speeds are typically measured in amounts of bits, not bytes. Thus, one thing might give you a measurement in Kb or Mb, and something else might be measured in KB or MB.

Nope there is no question of measurements....
I know this is very unusual and thats what im trying to figure out...
I guess I would have to post video regarding this.... besides other phones camera how do you record onscreen activity of mobile?
Hi
So I was trying to record speed using android dev kit and when downloading it I was getting 3 - 4 mbps.
So I'm getting high speeds from google servers as ADK and play store apps are on those servers...
Can someone plz explain it further?
i have the same issue and was wondering if i could get high speeds on my browser too?have you found out anything new?
Yeah, few day back I read somewhere, that if you get very high speed on the following sites :-
-> Google Playstore
-> Google Drive
-> Youtube. etc
Or any other site related to GOOGLE, You are directly connected to GOOGLE's Server. I'am also getting very high speed on these sites from yesterday. I think Google is providing direct support of its servers to different Service Providers.
Hi everyone. I know download speeds on mobile devices are slower than normal desktop download speeds and have always been. But on my HTC One I feel as if my download speeds have been slower than they used to be. For instance, on the Play Store, installing a 12 MB app would take about 3-4 seconds. But now, it takes 10 or even more. I'm running Stock HTC Sense 6, no root. I have noticed this months ago but never really tried checking it out. Anyone else have this?
