Before root, my dwnld speeds averaged 18mb to 30mb. I'm lucky, and have LTE everywhere I go and those numbers were consistent. Since root, I can not get above 10mb. I've tried several roms and radio combinations to no avail. I would love to get back to those speeds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They're probably not really slower, just dont use the speedtest.net application. Use http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ instead.
Everyone keeps recommending the speakeasy site over the speedtest.net app. Not sure why it shows different numbers for some but they both show almost identical speeds for me (speakeasy is even a little slower at times). Maybe it depends on your location and coverage but no difference here. *shrug*

If you try it on CM7 or any aosp rom it makes a world of difference for me at least. Download speeds are 1-5mbps on speedtest for it and 15-20 on speakeasy or just by testing through more scientific means (like using wget on a known file size, timing it and dividing out the size/time).
You realize the difference between 10mbps and 30mbps on a cell phone is completely intangible. There are no websites that even deliver content at 30mbps in the first place, aside from the speakeasy servers for testing purposes, and even if they did, you wouldnt notice the difference because the entire page layout would have already been loaded in 1 second anyway.

You assume we're talking about web pages. I was generally referring to large binary files handled over http. I download plenty of those from my own servers.
However, a webserver can deliver content at any speed it can handle (limited by load balancing or the max speed of a server). If you have a webpage with 100 large images on it, it's sure going to load a lot faster on LTE @ 2-4 MB/s than it would on CMDA at 300KB/s.
There are plenty of crappy wordpress and other crappy CMS sites out there that arent exactly very efficient in loading stuff either because they make too many http requests or they dont know what compression is. Either way, it'll make a difference.
another thing to keep in mind also, is the more people that sign up & get 4G the slower the network will gradually get.
even 3G used to be faster at first....
If I am getting 3 mb/s speeds on speedtest and 19 mb/s speed on speakeasy which should i believe?

Yup, no difference here whatsoever. Speakeasy is actually slower than the speedtest app. Tested them back to back while sitting in the same location.
Always been this way from CM7 RC0.6 through 1.3 now on MR1, MR2, OTA MR2. That's why it always made me wonder when lots of people suggested using speakeasy.
Oh well...

I got about the same running Cyanogenmod 7 RC1.3 27.83 Mb/s down and 3.82 Mb/s up, using the most recent Radio Leak
Think the app's are a bit misleading anyway. I ran the speedtest app on my phone and get 30mb down, then I tether to my laptop and run the same test from their website and get 7mb down.
I hate to bring back an old thread but has anyone discovered a solution to this?

Hey guys,
After a couple days of playing around with tapres.96.dll and monochrome bitmaps, I was successfully able to modify the EVDO indicator using the 3.2.6 kitchen.
If you would like to use it, here's what you do:
1. Replace the SYS\Redist_DPI_96\tapres.96.dll folder with the one provided in the zip.
2. Run BuildNB.bat and cook your rom like you normally would and flash.
Here's a screenshot for all you people who like pics...

Right...it's just for aesthetics. However, Verizon has completely rolled out Rev A on their entire network, so for Verizon users they actually are always getting Rev A as long as they are in an EVDO area.

Also, as far as the data counters, don't you use Resco File Explorer (I thought everyone did) - it has this functionality on the today screen. I'm curious as to your choice etc.

It's a battery meter. I don't need it to be configurable, just more ram being eaten up by more today plugins. Vistahide is my preferred choice.

Yes I use Resco, and no I don't use the today plugin. See my reason above. The battery status data counter is nice and sleek, doesn't take up a lot of real estate on the today screen, and gets the job done. I just think the battery meter is inferior to Vistahide.

Your speeds rely on how many T1's are on your tower. 800 is actually not that bad either. The upload speed is usually the dead giveaway that Rev A is there. What's your upload speed?

Test your speeds by tethering to a pc and then go to dslreports or speedtest.
I am getting 2.5 down and .3 up... not bad for a cell phone
I just did a test with mine (tethered via bluetooth), here's my numbers:
Speed Test #56479359 by dslreports.com
Run: 2008-08-28 19:34:15 EST
Download: 529 (Kbps)
Upload: 475 (Kbps)
In kilobytes per second: 64.5 down 57.9 up
Tested by server: 56 java
User: 2 @ dslreports.com
User's DNS: myvzw.com
Compared to the average of 81 tests from myvzw.com:
* download is 30% worse, upload is 59% better

I got 680 down, 161 up when I'm tethered. I'm guessing it's an infrastructure thing, from what you described....I'm in a somewhat rural area.
Edit: I just realized I had bittorrent running...getting around 250 up now.
Seems some Photons are finding a 3G Speed increase by a simple adjustment of settings...
I have tested this, and found it to work for me...however, NOT everyone is reporting a similar experience. So, give it a shot...and report your findings here for analysis. (My guess for the reasoning in different experiences would relate to tower proximity, etc)
The "Fix" is simple...
1. Head to "Wireless & Networks" in Settings Menu.
2. Go to "Mobile Networks"
3. Change "Network Mode" from "Any CDMA" to "Automatic"
4. Reboot
5. Test!!

No, I don't believe it's using GSM...or roaming. I'm not positive, but I plan on calling Sprint come Monday and asking what the feature does. There is NO warning prompt indicating that you will be roaming...so I doubt they could force roaming charges on anyone.
Just gave it a try. 1.84Mbps for 3G before and after but 4G dropped fro, 4.53 down to just 0.55 in Automatic. Returning to "Any CDMA" brought it back up.
I did this fix and it did work, but I have found that in my area, due to population, that my speeds can barely break 600k, but when I ran out to a few other remote locals I was pulling 1.6m+. So this clearly works and I love the speeds in the remote area, but the area I live and work in really suck.

nope its still cdma, just grabbing the strongest signal instead of focusing on a Sprint signal. Should not effect you roaming charges at all
I noticed another positive side effect of this. Way faster connecting speed. It would take forever to even start loading a page on any cdma and now it starts instantly.

You Guys Might want to Try Removing the Sprint Proxys. My coworker was unable to stream pandora, and had a general overall slowness of web browsing. We did the following.
1. Get MSL Code
2. Dial ##data# in the phone
3. Go into mulitmedia
4. We upped the buffer to 10
5. Set the ports to 0
6. Set the addresses to 0.0.0.0
Rebooted and all his streaming issues were resolved adn market and web seemed to load faster (he has been struggling with streaming issues for over a week)
ok so could this be too good to be true?
seems like there must be some downside.. are we more likely to drop connections if we're constantly hopping networks?

Hmmm... didnt work for me. First two download passes were 1.1m them 900k. Changed the setting to automatic and got 172k and 200k. I'll set back to any CDMA and try again in the morning at work.
Thx
The first method doubled my speeds and gave me 25% of the ping.
removing proxys solved my shoutcast radio streaming problem
Thanks for the tip. Increased from 1.3mbps/384kbps to 1.8-1.9mbps/600-800kbps

I can answer other things if you guys need information, however I do ask how I can move all my app data from my Captivate to the S2. I don't want to have to replay angry birds and all my other games over again.

You don't notice the small amount of data its consuming when its only running 3.4Mb/s for 5 seconds each time but 57 is a huge diff. Just be forewarned lol. That's valuable data I could have saved.

Speed tests don't use "small amount of data...running 3.4Mb/s." Speed test should use roughly the same amount of data regardless of connection speed. It should just be uploading and downloading files of known sizes and timing them to tell you the speeds.
just ran one test on wifi, and looks to use a bit over 17MB. If I recall others have stated similar, around 20MB per run. 17x6=102, so yeah, about right. Not based on connection speed at all, fairly consistent usage.

I believe the amount of data used for the tests are scaled. If it isn't, then imagine trying to download and upload 20mb on edge, it would take forever to complete an actual test. By the same token, for faster connections, a larger amount of data is needed to accurately determine the speeds.

counter inaccuracy? use traffic monitor or the on board data usage meter in ICS and you will see about 40MB per test. I think that is what it is... I know 20MB DS for sure, upstream may only be 10MB.
The problem with LTE is speeds are so fast you can run multiple tests and before you know it use 1GB...
I work for at&t and was threatened with throttling once so I no longer test the network on my personal equipment per say. If I fiund an issue on my personal equipment, then I re-test for it on my company issued equipment and then report it... LOL

That would make sense if they auto detected connection type, and maybe they do change data amounts for 3g and lower speeds.
Here are two tests I ran, one on wifi showing 17MB, one on LTE showing 20MB. Probably a bit of error from finding servers etc, but seems to be about 20 total MB per test, and I've read others say the same.

This is absolutely the case. In fact, I remember the older versions used to ask you what kind of connection you were on in order to run the appropriate test. If you selected "edge" while on wifi, it would give you wildly inaccurate results because the sample size wasn't large enough to get a useful average.

Sooo Lte came to my city around midnight on the 1st... coincidental that was when my monthly plan starts over. So I was running speed test showing like 57Mb/s I ran it about 6 times out of excitement ... huge mistake it used a little over 100MB of my data plan between showing DL and UL speeds smh. You don't notice the small amount of data its consuming when its only running 3.4Mb/s for 5 seconds each time but 57 is a huge diff. Just be forewarned lol. That's valuable data I could have saved. So I won't be doing much speed test bragging to my friends lol.

At least when I compare it to my Galaxy S4. I had noticed it didn't have as many wifi bars when I was in the same room a ways away from my router so at first I decided to go right into the room where my router is and test it literally a foot away from the router.
Looked promising.

GS4 left, LG G3 right
But then I went back to the room where I'm usually at in my house when using the phone and it was very disappointing for the G3.
I really want to keep this phone but I keep finding things that are talking me out of it. Don't be surprised if I post up a huge list of cons later... despite all the pros.
Don't be too sure that Samsung hasn't just tweaked the way the bars are displayed. Test with some tool that will give you the true signal strength Like WifiAnalyzer by farproc ti eliminate that possibility.

I'll do a WiFi analyzer comparison. But the fact that the speed indicated between the GS4 and G3 are so drastically different between the phones makes me think I'm not going to be too pleased.
My max speed at home is 25 megabit so an internet speed test on the phones won't help me much since the G3 is still over 25.
Is your access point configured to run both 2.4ghz and 5ghz on the same access point name? If so is one phone managing to grab the 5ghz and the other for some reason is preferring 2.4?
I typically separate these two frequencies and run them as separate networks because of problems I have had running an access point in "shared dual mode". Specifically with certain soc's seeming to prefer 2.4ghz (which often runs slower) for some reason. The problem doesn't occur when I specifically tell it to use the 5ghz access point name instead.
I'm having this issue as well
In Wi-Fi settings, do you have "Battery saving for Wi-Fi" checked? This may tell the radio to lower its power output based on how much network throughout is needed. Try checking the link speed while transferring a large file. Also, you want this feature turned on; it will increase the life span of the radio.
I checked this afternoon with WiFi Analyzer from farproc, the G3 compared to my lady's G2.
Against my Netgear R7000 Nighthawk router, the results at different locations within my plaster-walled home were very similar, with maybe a few dB less at distance on the G2 at 2.4 ghz.
At 5 ghz, as I got further from the router, the G2 started to drop signal strength much earlier, up to 10dB worse at the far corner of the house.
Both phones were held in hand and measured by the same software at the same time. The orientation of each phone was varied during the testing as well.
I did have WiFi power saving enabled, but that was on the G3.

Yes, that is on. (it took me awhile to find it as it's in the overflow menu).
I'll do some more tests without it just to see what happens but ultimately leave it on.
Thanks!

Yeah both 2.4 and 5ghz but I have different SSID's for each one.
I've been told that your devices should connect to whichever one is the strongest if you name them the same but I've often found that not to be the case so I always set them up as different names.
speed is all the really matters,
