4G speeds on New RUU 2.01.605.0 GB Leak - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed the new Radio that JCase posted for the GB RUU. Flash 3 different roms based off this including JCASE stock. But on all of them i am only getting a Download speed of 3mbs instead of my normal 18MB+...
Wiped/Factory Reset/Wiped Cache/Wipe Dalvik multiple times before flashing and still not work, even flashed the radio over just incase, but still seems throttle.
Is everyone seeing this? Is there a throttle in place on this ROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think pretty much everyone is seeing this, its not you!

What are you using to test your speeds? The speedtest app will report around 3MB but the speakeasy website shows I'm getting 12MB down/2MB up.
I think the app isn't working well with the new O/S.

I think you should post in the correct section.
Speedtest DOES NOT EQUATE to real performance. It's a test.

Im getting 15-18 down on speakeasy

Have you tested speeds by going to speedtest.net on your phone's browser and doing it? That's usually more accurate.

My market apps are installing at the typical LTE speed as well. They are flying down the pipeline. Even ROM downloads on links from Tapatalk are typical 10-11 MB down LTE rates.
Again I think it's an app thing with the speedtest app.

Sorry. wasnt sure on what section since this relates to the Roms here.
You are correct speedtest is just a test and does not show the real performance just like quadrant doesnt.
I didnt run speedtest until i noticed how long it was taking to download an app which normally it speeds through it Lightening Fast...
But i did run the speadeasy.net and got 18up/5down.
Thanks, Just didnt see anyone else make a comment or post about this any other threads.

I'm having the same issues. There is definitely a difference. I noticed my data alot running slower before I ever tested it.

I didn't even think to test my 4g speeds - I was too excited about how fast the new ginger-sense roms are running in terms of performance.
I just ran speak easy - I am in Philadelphia and have full 4g most of the time
12.95 down - 4.95 up.

4G speeds are still there. Speedtest app isn't reporting correctly.

How is everyone's battery life doing?

Sorry, but the basic debloat only pulls about 3 megs where I would normally pull 20-28. Doesn't matter where/how I test it. Website, app, and tethered to test on my computer all report 2 to 3 megs.

Try speakeasy.net/speedtest in the browser. I just pulled over 25 down and 8 up on it. The speedtest app just isn't giving accurate results.

speak easy is about the same, but performance is down for me. Market apps are a lot slower and i wasnt able to stream the nba game very well... so real time performance of LTE on the leaked GB radio is def slower for me flashed back to MR1 and streaming is good im sure in a week or 3 there will be a newer leaked GB radio tho. All these "issues" should be expected for new tech like LTE so just be happy with all these early leaks! Most phones go months waiting for what we have gotten in weeks! We def have some extra love from vzw and htc and ours devs!!! (IMO)

Downloads from dropbox and the browser max out at about 400 K which is about 3 Mbit. I noticed this before ever running the speed test app. I am basing my experiences on real world usage not just speed tests. My 4g is absolutely limited to approximately 3Mbit on this radio. As reported by others this is also noticeable in market downloads and in streaming video performance.

I am also noticing Pandora is being painfully slow. It takes a long time for it to load the next song. Before it would be only a few moments between songs.

Also if you look at the provider speedtest and speakeasy both use OOKLA as the backbone broadband provider so they should produce the same results. If they don't then it is they app. Try doing the test from the Speakeasy website from your phone then from the Speedtest website from your phone. They should both be the same.

Connection speed Atrix vs Captivate

Why is it that my atrix ia slower in connection then my old captivate ...standing in the same place i always do when im at work on the captivate I get download speeds of easily 3MB per sec but with my new atrix I get if lucky 500kb per sec ...why is that id its the same network and a newer phone ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
My guess would have to be that the Captivate modem/radio combinations are better optimized than what we currently have available for the Atrix. Hopefully once the other variants start releasing, we'll have a better combination to choose from.
.... I would think everyone would know this by now. You should read around the forums more.
The upload speeds suck; upload speeds are just as important as download speeds.
Because of this, pages will load around the ssame speed but they will take longer to initially start loading.

On my Cappy with HSUPA enabled I got around 3-3.7 down and 1.7 up with about a 150ish ping. On my Atrix I still get about 3 down and only .3 up (we already know it sucks) but my ping is still about the same. Honestly in real world usage I don't notice a huge difference, but yea obviously I want HSUPA to work like everyone else. Although I'm thinking if you aren't getting over 500 down you should exchange your phone because I don't think getting HSUPA will fix it.

Upload speed after installing custom Rom.... Slower?

So, stock I ran the speedtest app and managed around 32 down on 4G - since installing a custom Rom however, it seems anything based on the .9 release, uploads seem capped at around 5. Anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Ya my upload speeds were right around 24mbps stock. After root, kernal and rom i dont get above 4mbps up. Strange. Also speed test app says I'm closest to DC. Even though I'm in Florida.. could be GPS fail.

Guys.. you arent actually getting those speeds. LTE does about 15 down, 5 up. The buffer on the phone lies about your speed because the file being sent is smaller than the buffer size. If you want a REAL number, tether to your desktop computer and run speakeasy.net

so once you root the packet being sent changes size when rooted??? i did a few trys before and after rooted at the actual speedtest.net not the app and there was a difference so im sure there is something else goin on

Something about this doesn't pass the smell test though - using the same app, same hardware with only the underlying framework changed the numbers it reports should be identical..... even if they are flawed and way inaccurate. I know in reality it isn't 30 something up, that's a little rediculous, however I would expect a custom rom to report the same error the stock rom reports, or if it doesn't have an explanation as to why it doesn't, and why the number it reports is more correct... it's just confusing otherwise. Thanks for the replies guys, it's been bugging me

Is Speedtest.net accurate?

Just wondering how much I should read into the Speedtest.net results? I'm on the French spf 2.1.1 and while sometimes my up/down speeds are alright (3.5-4Mbps down / 1.5 up) most of of the time they are terrible (1.0-1.5 down and .1 up). I've tried reflashing radios and while it works good for a few times afterwards..it always goes back to being slower than a red headed step child.
I'm not sure if its just the towers i'm running off..because i've done the tests at 2 or 3am and they seem great..and then later on in the day they seem terrible. Should I be concerned about this or is anyone else experiencing similiar results?
http://androidcommunity.com/att-upload-speeds-and-caps-who-is-to-blame-20110518/
If it cycles regularly through the day like that, seems like the towers or backhaul are getting saturated. Much less activity at 3am.

Speedtest.net discrepancy

Just curious if anyone knows why there is a difference in data speeds between using the speedtest.net app from the market and useing the actual website. When I use the app I get 2-3 mb download speed but when I use the website I get 3-5 mb download speed. I have tested this several times with the same results. Which one is right?

I'm just as confused as you. There's the other app from Xtremelabs that I've used and even that tends to be quite different. Honestly I've given up. The speed ultimately is what it is and I'm not worrying about it anymore...
i could be totally wrong here but how I understand it is that when using the speedtest app, it seems to be getting throttled (not sure where) but if you use the website, the full data connection is getting used therefore that is more accurate.

Unnamed rom issues

So I done my first.rom on this phone. I've loaded Roms on other fphones but not this one yet. Well I like how the launcher seems quick and camera is quicker. But. Quadrant scores ARE lower for me. And data speeds suck in a "4g" area I'm getting less than a Meg download speed and ping around 300. Its horrilbe. Usually I only top about 2mb which is still horrilbe but under a Meg just sucks. I have an xperia x10 beside it and it easolily always gets about 3mb down. So why does quadrant say its slower? And why would my data speeds be slow like that. I even noticed it took forever just to download the xda app. Service just seems worse. And I don't know why. I guess I'll just go back to stock. But I want the better battery life. Like right now I had to connect through wifi. Have no service at all and switching air plane mode on and off won't help
And yes I wiped it.
Being in wifi using hughesnet satilite is being quicker than the data I'm getting right now
