Yes you read it right.
When all are searching to increase their mobile data connection speed, here I am asking the opposite.
Is there any tweak or any app using which I can limit the the speed?
Pl note: I do not want my data to be disconnected but to run at lower speed that's all.
And I am trying to do that on my EVDO connection.
My photon is rooted,unlocked and Running on miui 2.5.25
huh
Not sure how you can do this or why

can change flow control in build prop, but I dont think the ics roms have that line, also you can try since you are on miui playing with their data control options may be able to accomplish your goal with it or at least come close to doing it..... its a very odd request have to say you are the first to want slower 3g.....**** if my 3g was any slower I'd end up smashing my phone....sprint service very very very crappyin my area....using the net speed test app from market I barely get close to 700 down laughable ping and upload doesn't even twitch....lol...gl man if you figure it out do share....lol

I was trying for this as my photon has a strange problem. The data gets disconnected automatically when the download speed crosses around 1.5 mbps.
I have observed this when using HD video on YouTube or some big file download
Near my office I have a very good signal and I get speeds up to around 2.2mbps and here connection gets disconnected very often during high data transfer. But near my home I get speeds up to 1.0to 1.5 mbps only and here data does not get disconnected.
Also near the office data connection is intact for normal browsing(like small file download or normal web page viewing).
So trying to figure out if I put a cap to my data speed will it resolve the issue.

do you have any battery saving apps installed or any settings switched to not allow background data?

None of the battery saving app as of now which i remember.
I am sure that may not be the issue as the problem is persistent from the day i rolled back to stock till today when i have tried CM7/MIUI/CM9.
Can there any android process that may be running in background that is disabling the data connection and making radio to reset after few mins once it detects high data transfer ?

has anyone else had problems with wifi and 3g just dropping and then coming back like over and over again on the latest gingerbread builds ?
Yes
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes. And it's really, really annoying. But I have noticed it happens way more often on certain APs. I even have Wifi Analyzer running, and the signal never drops when the Wifi cycles. When I'm at work, it may only happen every few hours, even with a much weaker signal from the AP.
It used to be a problem that people would have drops when their screen turned off, but you can fix that by going into advanced Wifi settings and telling to never disconnect. I'm not sure what's causing the problems lately, but I don't remember having this issue with Cyanogen 7.0. Just the 7.1 branch, so far as I can tell, has this issue.
Ok good its just not me.. It's very frustrating as i need these to work like they use to and like dummy i can't find a rom that it was fine on i by mistake deleted all my older copies of build i was using
I am experiencing the wifi cycling as well.
chlila
Try using an exteranl
I have noticed my 3G starting to drop in and out. I didn't know if it was just me or not. Glad to see it is not just my phone though.
Yes i read of a fix but it did not work for me so i am going to MacRom . it and tazz stuff come from a different source if i got it right and don't have this problem.
Yes, I've been downloading an app in the past, turned off the screen and lost 3g connection. Really frustrating.

At this point not sure what to do i have tried ever new rom have done all suggestions to fix it nothing. I guess back to old school...
Assumed you've checked already: Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > National data roaming is checked (along with Data enabled) but International data roaming unchecked. System select is set to Automatic?
I've checked it & IDR was somehow turned off & it caused "connection errors" whenever I switched between 3G/1X data and turning off/on wifi network.
Flashed from the "newest" radio to Sprint (also CDMA for the Hero) - now, Baseband ver. 2.42.02.10.29 - seemed to helped somewhat with reception at home with very, very poor 3G coverage - getting horrible1X data speed ( .... what's 3G) Now, speedtest.net showing 208 kbps d/l and 211 kbps u/l - before, it was 140 kbps d/l and 950 kbps u/l - as tested on data connection when switched off home's wifi router.
Well tried what you just suggested and nope still not working right. so let's fresh wipe of everything including sd card.. did that reset router did that . turn off power for like 20 seconds or more to router did that . did what you just said to try nope no luck. And set to not sleep when screen turns off. none of these have help one single bit. About to pull my hair out smash this little bugger and go get some other kind of phone.....
Have not flashed GB on my wife's Eris yet, but I have seen this on my OG Droid & have not been successful resolving it -- some have reported success by changing to a fixed IP & WiFi sleep policy of Never in Advanced Wifi settings -- did not work for me...
I have tried to search the forum but I still can't find what I'm looking for.
It seems there're some problems with my downloading speed. My download speed always reach max speed when download gameloft data (1gb takes only ~20 minutes), but aside from that, it's slow. Wifi or 3G, even a 10mb file downloading from a file hosting service like mediafire takes ~30 minutes to complete, if it doesn't stuck.
I'm using Hyperdroid with Siyah kernel. But really, I've got this problem since stock and it won't disappear no matter which rom I tried.
Can someone at least tell me what is wrong? It's frustrated to have to connect to PC everytimes I want to grab something from the internet.

And no idea how the heck the connection got interrupted, I think most of the time it does (otherwise it would continued to download), and only on my phone. When it doesn't, the speed is really slow. Trying another browser doesn't solve it as I tried some of them and the results are the same.
what does speed test on wifi give u?
More information the better
try a speedtest..
sometimes download data depend on server too..
some server give you highspeed, and some server slower..
it should be normal if you normally download on same server with the average speed..
i download data via gaming also fast than download via mediahosting
Just tried some. It gave me 5.12Mps on download speed and 0.57 on upload speed. And the server is in my country, chose another server will give me a connection error. Maybe that explains something, I get max download speed with gameloft data downloading because there's gameloft server in my country. But then comes the question, why downloading speed from server outside my country is so slow (and usually stucks) on my phone? While using the same connection on my PC gives me usual speed (and by "usual" I mean it's really fast).
So the 5.12Mbps your getting.... what connection is that from??
I have a 50Mbps line and get 10Mbps - 24Mbps depending on where i connect to and signal strength etc... over WiFi
I wouldn't say that's bad if its from a 10Mbps line for example ... what were you expecting / how much worse is it than your PC?
On my PC it's about 10-15. The slowest is about 5-6 I think. And it's about the fastest my phone can get.
Sorry for bumping the thread, But I have the same problem
Very low wifi-speeds. Perhaps not rom related
On my computer I get around 16mb/sec, And I used to get that also on my phone. But now the speed is around 2mb/sec. Please somebody know what the problem can be??

Hi all,
Is it possible that my WIFI usage somehow faultily gets counted as data usage(3G), in any android device, particularly in Galaxy S2 I900?
I know it sounds silly, but here's what happened:
I just got 3G activated yesterday.
Through WIFI i downloaded about 600+ MB of data (Sygic)
Through 3G I browsed 2-3 small YouTube videos.
Today when i contacted my carrier (Vodafone India), They say my data usage is about 700 MB in last 2 days. That looks like my WIFI + 3G usage.
Hence this doubt.
Does anyone know of anything like this happening before?
Also, is there any way I can analyze my data usage for the past 3 days?
Now I have learnt my lesson and installed MyDataManager from android market, but it can only analyze data usage from the day of it's installation. Is there any other way I can analyze previous data usage?
PS: I swear I did the download through WIFI. I could see the WIFI signal strength indicator in my status bar. Neither the e(edge) nor the H(hsdpa) was seen.
Please help.
Thanks.
Network cannot charge for data downloaded over WiFi they do not know what WiFi you used . WiFi and network data re separate components .
You made a mistake and did not use WiFi but mobile data .
WiFi signal on and Data in use .

Sorry, im pretty sure i used WIFI.
That's the reason im asking, is it possible that due to some fault in the device, it will somehow log the data downloaded through WIFI as 3G data, because unless there is some fault at the device's end, the network couldn't even know of our WIFI usage.
Also would it be possible that the device does an auto switch from WIFI to carrier data (due to any reason like weak WIFI signal strength) and fails to reflet this on the notification bar(still shows as WIFI on the bar)?
Has anything like this happened to anyone? I just want to cross check before I contact my carrier further. Anyways once i get my connection logs from carrier, it should show the server from which data was downloaded and that should make it clear.
>> WIFI signal on and data in use.
Is this possible? Doesn't the device switch to WIFI whenever its on? I thought WIFI takes priority over data by default
Pretty sure yep thousands if not millions say that when they get a big bill from the network . Network measures data at source and charges they dont get the data from your phone and charge you .

Is it possible that the phone shows as WIFI on the notification bar while it is actually using carrier data?
I don't have any issues paying the bill if i have done the usage. I just want to analyze what happened here so that it won't repeat again.
I am pretty sure the notification bar had only the WIFI symbol and not the data indicator. since i had 3G activated recently, i was very conscious about it and watching it quite frequently.
Also previously i had similar over billing issues with my carrier and they promptly gave a reimbursement upon thorough analysis of the situation. so carrier mistakes isn't also something unusual.
I don't know how old your signature is but if you are running ICS rom then you can use built-in data usage monitor (in settings) to verify the volume of data used.
Installed Data usage monitor

The signature is update to date mate.
I don't have a build in data usage monitor, but I have installed one from the market - My Data Manager

After much analysis and discussions with the carrier, I have finally found out the issue.
As pointed out by jje, the usage has actually happened at my end.
The WIFI had become unavailable many times in between the download, and the download had switched to carrier data.
To avoid any such occurrences again, and to help people manage their data usage better, I have compiled a simple list of best practices here:

Download 3G watchdog
Hey buddy! a great app to keep watch of your 3g plan is 3g watchdog, it advices you when your plan is getting low on data, and its also very useful and user friendly, there is also a paid version with more features
Market: 3G watchdog
Also Onavo count is useful too!

Thanks mate... I have tried 3G watch dog and many more apps.
I find My Data Manager more likable.
It's simple, free and has all the same functionality - it notifies when ur usage is reaching threshold.
One good thing about it is that it stays cleanly in the notification area. When you pull down your notification bar, you can see it there, it shows 2 horizontal progress bars indicating 3G usage and WIFI usage each. It also shows number of days left in your bill cycle.
Pretty handy
Hello community, I do know that downloading on Wi-Fi is faster than using data (or so I've read). My question is if I start a download using data connection then turn Wi-Fi on will the download see the Wi-Fi and jump on that to speed up our do I have to start on Wi-Fi for it to use Wi-Fi?

it depends on where your downloading from. i torrent, download roms, and mp3's using my phone constanly (thanks sprint!!). sometimes when i hope around from 4g to 3g to wifi (in any order) the download continues. other times it just fails. ive learned to just try to stay on the most stable option at the time for best results. so to answer ur question its hit or miss.
Ok, I didn't think it was a big deal but I like to be educated, thanks for the info
My wifi on my phone has been running really slow. It runs super fast on my mac i have really good data speeds on my router almost 100mbps
I did a speedtest with the app on my phone and got up to 70mpbs but the phone still just goes slow. If i switch the wifi off and put on my mobile data it works fine and fast on 4g . Anyone help me and know the issue?
