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..

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.

Rightly said!! Is dis d speed u get using airtel 3g?

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

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.

So I recently started messing around with speedtest.net. When I'm in a strong 3G area I see around 5 mbps down. At home on wifi I see around 1.5 mbps down. At face value, it looks like my 3G is faster than my wifi. Can this be true? My ISP only offers up to 1.5 mbps in my area. Should I just get wifi tether and use my phone for internet at home, or do the stats from speedtest only tell a part of the story?

it is possible that your phone is faster. There are a few things to keep in mind though. How much data do you use? If it is more than 5 GB keep your DSL. The other is are you playing video games? If you are playing games that require a low ping then also stay with your DSL. If you are using low amounts of bandwidth and not playing games you might want to switch.

It's certainly possible, but it doesn't neccessarily mean that your speeds will stay consistent or even be as fast when tethered. Also, your wifi speed will vary based on your distance from your router.
Also keep in mind that your 3G contract has a 5GB cap. From what I understand this simply means your speeds will be throttled down once you reach the cap (and there are some workarounds that may or may not work well out there).
3G is one of the most inconsistent broadband connection out there, so personally I'd never rely on it as my primary internet source, but it's up to you
Awesome answers, I appreciate the info!

Hello all - I don't know if there's any answer to this or not but thought I'd throw it out there. I updated Android myself to 2.1 since apparently AT&T doesn't feel the need to. That has been a fine experience and I've experience nothing negative aside from the wireless network speed. My phone now always has the H (for HSDPA from what I understand) instead of of 3G, but downloads, web browsing, and YouTube are all way slower than they were before. It takes 10 - 15 seconds to download a 750k app usually. I have ran the speed test app from speedtest.net and its results confirm this by showing 44 kbps downstream & 750 kbps upstream speeds.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I know that HSDPA is supposed to be faster than 3G but this is unbearable - I am almost tempted to use EDGE exclusively because that is all I pick up at home (EDGE service that is) and I get better performance when using the browser than I do with HSDPA (although that is probably more mental than anything since when on HSDPA I am sitting there staring at the phone thinking "What is taking so long!" and when on EDGE I choose something and then don't worry about it for a few because I know it will take some time.
Thanks for any advice!

This is probably a network coverage issue and nothing you can do about it from a phone standpoint.
Ha! I love the first response had a joker pic because I was thinking of the joker when I wrote "why so sloooow".
Anyways when you say coverage what do you mean precisely? do you simply mean at&t hasnt done enough in my area for hsdpa to be effective? I do always have a full 4 bars of strength on it pretty much.
Thanks!

Yes, I mean AT&T. Having four bars means that you have a good signal. It does not indicate however how much bandwidth AT&T has allocated to that particular area/tower.
Think of it like a wireless router at home or office. On your laptop or computer, you see that you have a strong WiFi signal but, that does not mean that you have a fast connection as that depends on your DSL/cable connection.
Get my point?
Got it, that's what I feared. So in essence by improving my phone with 2.1 I screwed my phone (currently) with hsdpa

No, it did not screw your phone. Your phone is innocent here. It is probably the network. AT&T may have a problem in that area. Did you try the speed somewhere else?
Nope, haven't tried it anywhere else. I didn't mean screw my phone, what I, meant was if at&t is not so good with hsdpa in my area I am stuck with those speeds until that is resolved because I can't force 3g (my speed when I had iphone 3g was usually around 1 mbps)
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I am on att also with the 2.1, luckily im in an area where i get around 2mb/2mb sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Did you try the setting in wirelessnetworks/mobile networks/network mode/ tick wcdma only if not on H. could help not sure, just a thought.

Your phone automatically switches between H/3G/E where available. I also have AT&T and have debranded my phone and did not notice any lag.
your problem is AT&T.
H is higher than 3G. if you got problems with it it`s because the signal is strong enough to use H but it preforms worse than 3G (cunfusing ah?!)
Well I was outside of my town the other day, in the country and noticed I was in hsdpa somehow so I ran a test and out there I was getting on average about 3.7 mbps. I guess where I am most of the time just isn't an optimal spot. Thanks all for the responses!

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'

whats the difference between H and 3g? coz mine goes from h to 3g and then back to h, that didnt happen on my desire. i always thought H was the same as 3g :S

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
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

There is actually not much of a difference in speed, not most of the time at least.. Don't let the + in HSPA+ fool you. I too don't see any difference in speed between + and no + and i'm from Singapore.
Sent from my non-Apple device via XDA App
the H+ doesnt have to indicate a higher speed, higher speeds are possible with that yes, however it just shows that the network in that area has been upgraded.. speeds are much more dependent on how many many users are currently using that cell tower etc, and for sure you're ISP capped the speeds well well under the advertised 21Mbps that is "possible" on the technology...
Well I have experience with both H+ and H and I can say that with my operator H is much much faster and I usually get H+ outside of the city in villages etc...
I live in the capital city of my country so I am pretty sure they would use + in the city if it was faster instead of the countryside.
With H I usually get from 10 to 14mbps
With H+ 300-900 kbps max
But, of course I'm not an expert, so it may be just my ISP being crazy, or testing h+ on small scale, but why would it be slower ? questions questions questions !
thanks i got all excited when i saw the plus today

where are u to get upto 14mb ? i only get 10 on my proper broadband
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I think there are two parts to the answer:-
1) Your phone's setup. There are various posts/threads here about possible "tweaks" such as disabling fast dormancy, editing system files etc.
2) Your service provider's upload/download data rate capping. Personally I find it scandalous that most providers have a hidden data rate cap on their users. They are upfront about the total data limits, but tend to hide the hidden rate cap somewhere behind their "Acceptable Use" policies.
Therefore even if you tweak your settings, you may well be further limited by your provider. I suggest you search this forum and the www for information on this practice and how you might be able to have data rate caps lifted or altered.
You get the speed you pay for. Okay, they always advertise A MAXIMUM SPEED OF XXMBPS!!!!! OMG OMG!!!111! but of course you'll almost never reach the maximum. Only in a perfect condition.
