Horrible Data Speeds on AT&T - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right now on speed test I am currently getting an average of 300 kbps download and 100 kbps upload. Is this normal as I hear users on the same network are getting above 1000 kbps download speeds. I even tried the 3G Network Enhancements from Perceval from Hyrule and that didn't even work.

i too is getting horrible speeds especially when tethering, im starting to lag more often now unlike before i never had such problem

Can't speak to AT&T's (in)famously congested network but...

At&t? There's your problem
I don't think it's an issue with the X10. My X10 (no 3g mods but on TMO-usa) pulls anywhere from 2600 to 4540 down and 600 to 1238 up from my home (70-80 ms).
It has more to do with the tower you're pulling data from (and any network restrictions).

AT&T in the bay? You are doomed. You live in a notoriously congested no data zone from AT&T. I range from 1000 - 3500 down and 200 - 1000 up in the Portland, Oregon. Perceval from Hyrule's tweeks didn't work for me either.

Weird, I average 2000 to 3000 download speeds on my Inspire in the same area. I guess H+ uses a different tower.
Went to Vegas and tested the speeds on my X10 and still getting the same results.

I just got a tested download speed of 2.35Mbps. Not too bad.
I'm in Riverside County (Southern California), and I have an AT&T X10A running Sony Ericsson's generic world 2.1 X10A build:
- Firmware 2.1-update1
- Baseband 2.1.54
- Kernel 2.6.29
- Build 2.1.A.0.435
I've made no data speed tweaks in the build.prop file.

wats ur baseband?
I switched to the new at&t baseband (.65) and my speeds dropped to 300 on every rom i tried.
I switched backed to generic x10a with the .54 baseband and my speeds went back up to over 1000

Absurdly slow on 3G signals??

Does anyone else on Tmo/Orange Uk have issues with 3G speeds? Mine are much slower than on the SGS and I can't figure out why.... I'm starting to worry if my phone has a fault ....
anyone had issues?
thanks!!
Dont think it's your phones fault. I get up to 4mbps everytime i take a test, and i got only 2mbps with my desire so, yeh this phone rocks.

just 3G speeds? or with 'H' aswell? download 'speedtest' from android market(free), if your download speed hovers around 356-357kbs, then I would say your download speed is capped.I'm with t-mobile, and mine was. I had to phone and get through to their techy dept and get them to enable 'Hspda'

http://blog.ruggedandmobile.com/2010/01/26/a-guide-on-the-difference-between-gprs-edge-3g-and-hsdpa/
G - this stands for GPRS, and is the slowest data transfer method (approx 32 - 48 Kbps)
3G - This is the next level available on T-Mobile, and is around 10 times faster (384 Kbps)
H - stands for High Speed Downlink Packet Access, and is essentially 3.5G. In theory, TM's network
can transfer at 7.2Mbps, but real world tests tend to average out at around 2 Mbps, still significantly
faster than 3G
There is also HSDPA+(H+) which is even faster.
Hope this helps explain

Nice details, thanks bud! i guess my desire wasn't capable of doing 4mbps, it only got upto 2 while sgs2 gets upto 4mbps which is awesome

[Q] Upload speeds?

Picking this phone up today, curious; what are people getting for upload speeds on HSPA? Is AT&T still capping ~300kb?
Use the search ...

I'm usually 3-5mb down and 1mb up...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I just ran a few Speedtests (nearest server is 100 k/m). I got 1.8 Mb download and .88 Mb upload on AT&T. Ya, I'm not all that happy either.
I get about 3-5 down and 1.4-2.0 up
i average 4-5mb down, and .8-1.2mb up. louisville KY
Just ran a test. 7.02Mbps down, 1.57Mbps up.

I average 3.5 down and 1.2 up and I live in a major metro area, Houston. Compare to 3gs, 1.2d & .4u; and Inspire "4g", 1.8d & .7u.
The Atrix is much better and when compared to an aggregate of my friends EVO on Sprint's WiMax I'm just 500kb download below him for an average.
Thanks for all your replies...my only other question, does the stock modem cap or does it get higher upload speeds than the "300 kb/s cap"?

[Q] slow 4g speeds

I have had the phone for weeks and The 4g or h+ speeds are slow less than 1mbs down And no more than 800k up. Is this how fast At&t's 4g is or not?
P.S This is my first smart phone and It's the best phone I have ever seen. thank you
My 3g seems to be working fine... I dunno abt at&t but.... talking about mbps with my connection im getting good speeds more than 3mbps in general that equivalent to abt excess of 300 kBps download speed.

What speeds are you getting on your GS2?

I'm in central Florida (kissimmee/Orlando) and I'm getting an average of 3mbps down and 1.1mbps up. Just curious as to what the rest of you are getting.
Also this might be a silly question, but if I'm on "4G", should it say UMTS or HSPA+ in my about phone status?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
It says HPSA. Haven't checked my speeds, been on Wi-Fi.
what are your pings?
Ping 75 ms
Download 3681 kbps
Upload 617kbps
does it feel fast as far as when you hit the browser until a page loads?
Yes the browser performance is quite good.
More info: HSPA+ isn't available in Charlotte currently, Charlotte uses the 1900 band
I live in Indianapolis, IN and I have an H+ on my status bar and my speeds were clocked at
4139 kbps down
1105 kbps up
130ms ping
I am currently a bit further out than Indianapolis at the moment though so I am not sure if the speeds will be better once I am in the city.
Does the the H+ mean we are getting 4G? If so hspa+ speed is pretty disappointing.

H+ means HSPA+, this is not an LTE (real 4G) phone.
Mine is showing H+ up top but UMTS in phone status. My ping is averaging 150ms. So far feels faster than my captivate, but I was expecting better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I was more asking if the H+ icon actually means we are getting hspa+. As the speeds don't seem that much better than what I had on my captivate. Also when I dial *#0011# it says HSPA+ used:0 leading me to believe the h+ icon has no real meaning.

My S2 will be sitting idle until some ROMs pop up, but the S2 demo in my local AT&T store got around 2.5 mbps down and 1 mbps up (which is typical for my area).
When in the settings, you'll see UMTS. Devices often switch to HSDPA/HSPA when a data session starts.

No, I haven't turned mine on yet but with other devices AT&T set them up to display H+ for UMTS (3G) and HSPA (3.5G).
on my inspire in southeastern connecticut, I'm getting 6mb down and 2mb up, with a ping of 101. this is on H, not hspa+. hopefully my gs2 will be a bit faster once i get it
Anywhere from 3-8 down and a pretty consistent 1.0 up here in Akron Ohio and surrounding areas

At my house I'm getting about 3 Mbps down 1 up. With my captivate I got around 1.8 down .9 up. Slight improvement.
However my wifi connection is way faster.

Interesting, I'm having a trend of faster pings but lower data speeds on my gs2 than my inspire. In areas I would get around 4-5 mbps the gs2 gets 3xxx, and where I normally connect in my living room at 28-2900 I am now getting 1500 or so. However ping is twice as fast

Maybe it's enough compensation (latency) for slower speeds?
I'm getting 8-9 Mbps down and about 1 Mbps up in midtown Atlanta right now in the middle of the day.
I am in between Washington D.C and Baltimore MD and I am getting the following. I will try and remember to bring my Captivate to work tomorrow to see if there is a huge difference between the two.
2816 down
937 up

slow data

hey guys, any of you experienced slow data with goldenrod.ko and miks 6.5.8? i'm only hitting 1mbps on my phone :s

Try different sites for speedtest .i always feel the speedtest.in app shows faulty speeds..when i tether data to my lappy it shows 3x speeds..also use uc webbrowser for fastr downloads..
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Try the 3G TurboCharger script from here and make sure you are using HDSPA if you want the highest speed ("h" icon in taskbar). The mobile data modes are (from slowest to fastest) GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HDSPA. Each mode display it's first character on the mobile data icon in the status bar.
Will this work on the optimus v? I could always only get 1.3Mbps with bursts up to 2Mbps and never stays at 2Mbps for even a second.
It's universal.
it depends on the operator, and user load at the time of using it...
i constantly get speeds of 5 Mbps while normal downloads and speeds upto 6.5 Mbps when dowloading with IDM.

Wow, you are really lucky 5Mbps, i get 3.5mbps eventhough the server is behind my flat and i only get 2 bars on old baseband while on new baseband i always get full signal...
i also get only 2 or 3 bars, in 3g mode if u get even 1 bar its enough to throttle to max speeds.......
i get same speeds even in 1 bar too..
as i said it depends on the user load not the signal quality, atleast for me.

yes i get it with airtel 3g...
below is the screenshot...
But isn't it limited? 98 bucks==2gb right?
I'm using a similar trick as you do but get 435kb/sec avg but unlimited
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I thought the max logical speed is 3.1Mbps how can you end up getting higher than what the technology is rated for? Also how would I go about getting this on my phone to try it out? I have been fairly happy getting up to 1.5Mbps but if I can get even faster then I wouldn't mind at all.
max logical speed is 7.2 Mbps(=900kbps) Download speed and 5.76 Mbps Upload speed..

Well I have a LG Optimus V and all I can find on data rates is the EVDO rev A which says it can only go up to 3.1Mbps.
