So I was playing around and pissed because I could not sync one of my programs do to data packets dropping like mad on my phone. This is Windows Mobile 6.1 BTW. I went into with resco registry editior and changed HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms and changed the TimerWheelSize to Value of 5 and soft reset via software reset. (Like Psshutxp) Now the phone is off the hook and netfront is super smokin' fast as well as my company programs syncs now. Give it a shot and let me know your results. Attached is a resco registry file to make it easy to import reg settings.
I also changed my dns settings to the following: (Super Low Latency)
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
If your data connection comes up and asks for username password, leave it blank and checkmark save password...

The fix for IE going so god aweful slow and other internet connect software on the titan running windows mobile 6.1
I'm trying this out right now, although I didn't find a place to stick the DNS settings.
I'll see how it goes, thanks
Edit: Seems faster!
dns settings are under the advance settings of your connection.
it's still lagging at some webpages how ever, i was able to download google maps without it stopping
Edit:
after going to a more than 2 webpages. yes it does seem to move a bit faster it still lags on a few webpages but on others that it was lagging on prior it's now flying
Will it work for the kaiser or Titan only?

I guess this isnt for the cellular internet? I don't see DNS settings under the Sprint network setup I have.
I am on Sprint and made the suggested changes. It still stalls for me when trying to download live search, but web pages do load faster.
A noticeable improvement for me loading pages!!! Thanks
I have changed the registry value to 5 but after a reset it changes back to default 11.

dalvares7 if you read carefully it is stated to do a software soft reset. Not a stylus soft reset. Use psshutxp to reset device after making reg changes.
The only question will be whether this setting will get lost during future soft resets via stylus... I havent tested it out yet but I will.
Anyone else know?

The settings do stick after future soft resets.
Are there any other ill effects to setting this??
actually went down for me
average speed before reg mod: 753
Average speed after reg mod : 654
Average speed after DNS mod : 587
I've only played around for about 30-45 minutes now... no ill effects noticed so far.
The difference in initial loadup, as well as subsequent loadup of pages is very obvious. Major improvement.
Also, I'm still running the 2.0.0 beta DCD ROM, which was mostly WM6.0 (not 6.1) core.
changed the Parm. settings to 5 and not the dns. It's been faster for me. Before the change was around 600k, but after the change it went up to 1300k.
Thanks for the settings, great job..
Holy crap!
It sped it up by almost double what I was getting before.
I have a question though...maybe some of you will know the answer...
When using PIE and running the mobile speed test on dslreports.com, even with this new reg edit, I only get speeds ranging from 500-600 every time.
I used Opera mini and ran the same tests and got between 1100-1600 every time. (Sometimes it would even tell me that it was too fast, EVEN when using the 1mb test)
What's up with that?
WOW , applied the "fix", tethered the phone with WMWifiRouter and i certainly see a big difference.
I attached a Speedtest from Speedtest.net (great site btw For PC's)
Befor i had half of the values being shown in my results. Talk about "Fix"
-If your wondering i'm using DCD's 2.2.6
With Radio 3.27

I am pretty sure Opera uses a proxy server that loads / processes the webpage there then resends it to your mobile device. So the speed you see when you use Opera is their conection to the test site.
those dns servers are Level 3's backbone
The application tests the UMTS/GSM network speed. It also shows the serving CELLID of the network. You can choose between several URL or input your own URL. It's better to put the URL of files >5MB. It allows greater speed to be achieved.
In version 2.0 several bugs are fixed and interface changed a bit
downloading and will let you know about the results

thx for the speedtest app!
thank you
hi. thanx for app.
one sugestion.
option to select kbps kBps mbit/ps and so on
Many tks. Good work !|!
Thank you
Now we can trully know how crappy our cell networks really are!!! YAY!!!
On another note... THANKS FOR THE APP MAN!!!
interesting
with my phone flat on a table i can take three readings which have no consistancy
one minute 64k then 588k then 339k one after another. The number of signal bars remains the same. Interesting?
Tried this on my HTC TP2 and it would not run properly. The app starts, but none of the on-screen buttons work, only the 'X' to close the app. Slowed down my phone even after closing and had to soft-reset.
nice
works tmous hd2 how accurate are the readings?
Thanks for you time
Varying speed
It all depends on network load at the moment. If there are many users downloading from the cell then the speed will be slower. Also it depends on radio conditions which vary even when the phone is not moved around. Also if you want to achieve greater speed use the microsoft or google files - 3 and 4 in the drop down list or input your own URL to such files. They are bigger and allow greater speed to be achieved. In the beginning of the download there is "slow start" where the speed is low and after few seconds maximum speed is achieved. But bear in mind that in radio the things are very dynamic and so is the download speed

Noob question
Hello everyone. Please forgive mi ignorance, but how do I install a .cab file?
Dear All:
we have used iphone 5 s for drive test , and suddenly its disconnect when start moving.
appreciated you help
It wasn't easy for me, but I got CM7 on my Atrix. The goal was first to get around any throttling restrictions I've been experiencing, second to fix some bugs with the stock Moto rom regarding bluetooth and proximity sensor. On to my issue:
On wifi everything is perfect.
On 3G I can only use data on Browser or Opera and a select few other applications. I can't download apps via the market but I can find them. No speed on my speedtest app, but mobilespeedtest.com gives me 1.4Mbps download speed. This is coming from being throttled to about 150Kbps (little b) and I still have a week left on my plan cycle. So the throttle is fixed but different.
I also had the "mobile data limit exceeded" message that I was able to get rid of by changing the data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db as detailed in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253963
Before I changed that I was limited to 300Kbps flat on apps (Speedtest, FCC Speed Test), with Browser getting good speeds again at about 1.5Mbps. The "mobile data limit exceeded" message is gone now. I seem to think this all has something to do with the settings in the db above but I know better than to blindly start changing values.
Also of note, I restored my apps + data with Titanium Backup after I wiped, rooted, unlocked and put in CM7. I thought that some data from before may have affected things now. But I had slow (throttled, but it moved) data many reboots after restoring my apps + data.
I also butchered my APN settings in an attempt to get around the throttle monster to the point I had to restore all the default AT&T APNs to get things working mostly right.
I feel I've made a mess of things layering attempt on attempt to increase speeds. Does this problem make sense?
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.57-MB860-CM7-gf1d2072
CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-Olympus-KANG
Build GWK74
An update:
The default AT&T US APN was previously selected, and previously didn't let most apps get data.
Then I read this post: [redacted, google search "Cannot access Google Market application and Gmail on my new LG Optimus One P500 Mobile"]
This suggested it might be an APN issue. By switching to the AT&T HSDPA APN I get data back but at throttled speeds.
After testing speeds in Speedtest.net app and FCC Speed Test app I got 200-300Kbps as expected, but 600-1000Kbps in browser on mobilespeedtest.com. This was misleading. The mobile speed test was only 100KB. In switching to the 2MB full test the speed went right back to 230Kbps. These results plus looking at the graphs the Speedtest.net app gives you shows the traffic is running very fast at the beginning of the download (reminds me of Comcast's PowerBoost).
Back to square one here.
I am on AT&T in the US - and ever since I switched to an ICS ROM (either CM9 or Samsung's official) I am unable to get my network speeds via any speedtest app. I have tried Speedtest.net, Xtremelabs Speedtest, and the FCC Test app.
I will get decent ping speeds, and then the download test hangs and i never get more than 60kbps as a result, but my upload speeds are always very high, higher than they normally are.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I had a similar problem with ICS ROMs. Speeds were very, very low (compared to GB ROMs with KL1 and KI4 modems). The phone was very sluggish when using the browser, Play Store, and several news apps. But like you said, upload speeds would pop real high, to something like 4 Mbps, then drop to near zero. The "Restart Test" button wouldn't come up for about two minutes. I tried about 20 different APN configs to no avail.
Now that I am back on GB, the phone screams. I haven't yet figured out if it is a custom ROM or an ICS modem issue.

Well the phone seems fine in regards to speeds. It's when I run the speedtest that it records a ridiculous speed. I think it must be something with ICS ROMs and how the speedtest app runs tests

jerdog, when testing XWLPU, I had this same issue. Running a test within the Speedtest.net app the download test hangs, and reports a ridiculously low speed when it's finished, but ping and upload seem normal.
Speeds otherwise seem fine browsing and downloading stuff, and if I run a speed test on a web page (like from Speedtest.net the actual web page via the Flash plug-in, instead of the app), the download speeds are likewise fine. It seems it is only broken in the app.
Did you ever figure out what the deal was?
PS- apologies for the super bump.

It would seem that you need to remove the proxy settings and then things were fine IIRC.

Thx for the info. I'll try it again next version of ICS I test.
Edit: sorry... Proxy settings from where? The APN?
Edit 2: it was indeed the proxy settings in the APN. once I removed the proxy, the speed test work just fine. Thx jerdog.
Hi guys,
no one has noticed a very slow download speed from Play Store? Before SGS3 i had a HTC ONE X and my download speed it was about 1 Mbytes/sec, now it is 70-80 Kbyte/sec.
My wan is always the same and i haven't change nothing.
Only after my first start of SGS3 (for the synchronization with gmail) the speed seemed like the HTC.
Anyone has some ideas?
Thanks

this is really weird, but i just started experiencing this issue too. my wifi speeds are fine, i downloaded some large applications via my desktop pc and speeds were normal. i even put my phone on mobile data (4g lte) and speeds are also normal. but when on wifi, it is terribly slow.
Tried turning Wifi Power Save off?
*#0011# in dialer (works on Samsung-based roms) -> menu button -> wifi
I tried turning it off. But I dont see a lot of improvement. Using dropsync my SGS2 pulls in around 600KBs over Wifi while my SGS3 only manages around 2-300 tops
