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.

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.

I think he never noticed it cuz really, why the fk would anyone need to run 6 speed tests in a row no matter the connection speed. I doubt OP ever really did that before LTE and then checked data usage right after to notice it.

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.
Got to love those 1080p re-encodes.

From their website https://support.speedtest.net/entri...test-itself-work-how-is-the-result-calculated guess we could run it on a few 3g, hspa+ or whatever and see about how much data it uses then.

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?
Router: Netgear Wndr3400
ROM: vipermod
The image below is of a scan I did in WiFi analyzer. Scan frequency of 1 second.
As you can see its very frustrating. And its not like I have a poor signal.
I have searched everywhere and tried many things. (Turning WiFi performance on, messing with the channels)
No dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck, and let us know what you find.
No, no this has to deal with the roms we download. I was on Cm7 and it constantly dropped when i was on my phone surfing the web. Switched to nightley 150+ #build and it did not drop on me. I recently Switched to MIUI and it has started to drop on me, this is frustrating when you need to download a rom.
My only guess is it has to deal with the roms we download. Before anyone says anything no, my wifi is on a NO SLEEP policy, it not likes to drop the wifi while im surfing the web.

You keep mentioning cm7. I'm assuming u do not have an evo3d correct? And my stock phone straight out of the box and after rooting and flashing a custom rom had the same problem with one of my routers. It works just fine with other routers. Also the signal doesnt fade or drop like with my og EVO, it simply disconnects then reconnects 30 seconds later.
Edit: just realized you said u have an incredible. Also no other phone or device, including my old EVO, has had this problem. There must be a setting within my router that isn't playing nice because it is the only router my EVO3d has a problem with.

On my OG evo the only time i had problem with wifi was on cm7 but that was just weak signal. Nothing like this. If you like at my pic in the first post it is scanning every second. so its not like its disconnecting for 30 seconds. Which is weird because it says im connected the whole time.

But yeah, I'm usually on for 30 minutes to an hour and it drops for 20-30 seconds. Disrupting my downloads, I have heard there is a program for I think what you need axe. You said it's refreshing every second? If I'm right I remember seeing you could change your refresh rate somewhere to save battery life too.
So we have the same problem but different issues.

When i run a speed test the ping is very quick (~50ms)
But once the download test starts it just dies. It freezes on a number then goes to "network communication issues"
Hmm, yeah it might be a router problem for you guys.
When I do that it finishes, I'm just having wifi issues.
Mine occur only in certain roms as stated above, with miui and cm7. Nightley though worked, I didn't have any drops. I'm thinking about switching to a sense 3.0 here soon to see how it stands up.

I've had similar issues with stock and custom ROM's on my old Hero. I started having similar problems with my 3VO, so the first thing I did was reset the wireless settings on my router to default and then redo the SSID, change the channel and power setting, and of course - change the password.
I haven't had a problem ever since.
I had the problem on my Stock ROM. Actually it only showed up when connecting to my N router, but did not happen when connecting to my G router. However my issue I had to turn off the radio and then back on before it would reconnect. I downloaded something called WiFi fixer. This fixed my issues completely. Hmmm, might have to play with some different kernels and turn off the fixer and see what happens.
Check router firmware netgear.com/support. They have WiFi issues on 3700 maybe yours too
Was browsing thru my SQLite editor today and saw something I hadn't noticed before, some values relating to throttling. As follows:
throttle polling sec. ---setting 600
throttle threshold in bytes----- setting 0
throttle value kbitsps------setting 300
throttle notification type------setting 2
I don't recall seeing this before, but in any case was wondering if someone with more knowledge about files would know if this has to do with
Verizons throttling my speeds and if it could be changed to prevent it.
I'm thinking the notification value of 2 could be changed to zero and no notification would be passed thru to them. But WTF do I know? I'm being throttled almost daily and at times brutally and this I DO KNOW. I have an unlimited and usually hit 4 to 5 GB/month. certainly not outrageous. IMHO.
I'm on GB if it makes a diff. Rooted of course.

How do you know you're being throttled and it's not just a random lowered speed? I've speedtested twice in a row and sometimes my speed has gone from 20/10 to 4/1 or less. It could be a random slowing down.
No real hard evidence of throttling I suppose, but speeds are really terrible sometimes and were really good prior to this whole throttling gig being announced. So a presumption on my part. In any case I've made a tweak to the throttling notification file just for kicks, see if I notice any diff.
In SQLite, go to 3rd settings icon and look in secure. It also shows a reset factor of 18 days.

My billing cycle starts on the 26th. My reset of 18 days must be something different then. I did change the one setting from 2 to 1 and then zero and I seem to be having better speeds or at
LEast more consistent. The 300 kbs setting has me wondering if that is some sort of threshold because when I feel throttling kick in I would never go over that number and usually it was way less. Maybe I'll change it to 1000 and see what happens LOL!
TBH , I think a lot of us are being throttled and just blaming an over crowed network, which kind of makes sense, but I used to be able to stream movies on Hulu with no buffering and in 3G speed with no problem. Then when they announced throttling would be happening to the so-called "heavy" users of anything over 2GB(what a joke) I then noticed a drop in speeds as soon as I hit 2GB and it's been that way ever since.
Using SQLite to hack the hotspot was a joy to have that over Verizon, but if this helps my speeds then all the nicer. It does seem to be helping, so I'm going to keep tweaking and see.
I wish someone who knew for sure one way or the other would chime in, but then don't want my bubble burst anyway
Be even better when LTE comes to the hood.

Using SQLite go to settings storage , the one below the other settings storage, then click and find secure. It's in there, hard to miss.
I tried some different tweaks and have settled on changing the notification type from 2 to 0.
I also have the throttle value in kbps changed from 300 to 200. This seems to be working well for me as of today. Let me know how it goes.
My speed seems better over all, but even better is the data drops on 3G seem much less. I don't have LTE here.
Just found that my settings storage secure only has one option, throttle reset days! Its set at 13. I don't have the OTA, I'm on the fast boot version. There must be some slight differences. Even the hotspots hack is on a different line. What the heck!

How do you know you're being throttled and it's not just a random lowered speed? I've speedtested twice in a row and sometimes my speed has gone from 20/10 to 4/1 or less. It could be a random slowing down.

When i'm getting throttled down, i have to restart my phone to get back into high speed.
Have you guys experienced similar things?
Also once I fall down into 3G during tethering, i rarely go back up to 4G without resetting the radio
I have grandfather unlimited and i can't say i've been throttled.
16.5gb so far.

Those settings may apply to 3G only but not sure. I thought that 3G was actually throttled at some point but 4G was not. What that point is I have no idea.
Of course this is all speculation at this point.

Ok so I did this and it helped streaming a little bit.

Then I tried something else that doubled my internet speed it may not work on non sense Roms, but you can try it.
Open your dial pad, type in *#*#4636#*#*
Edit:tap on phone information,
then go towards the bottom of the page. Tap on "set preferred network type" then select CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, then your 3g should turn off then back on. Next go towards the very bottom of the screen and there is a button that says toggle dns I believe. (Sorry, I'm on my phone so I can't check) hit that so it says 0.0.0.0 allowed. Then all you have to do is tap your home key and it'll save by itself. I have noticed that this won't stay there if you restart your phone, but once you get used to it it's pretty quick to set. I don't reboot every five minutes so it doesn't bother me. It's a small price to pay for fast internet!. My internet speed used to be about 200-300 download, now I see up to 2200Kb download.
IF THIS HELPS YOU OUT PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!! THANKS!

Have you tried making call, receiving calls, send text or mms? I believe there was a thread like this when the Evo 1st came out but it turned out that the trick killed some things that made a phone a phone.

It kills some if you pick the wrong one. figured that out right away. Pick specifically the one I listed and you should be fine. I've been running like this for about 2-3 weeks. By the way I'm on ota, dev unlocked, rooted, on viper Rom, and awesome sauce kernel.
Sorry, to answer your question...I do send and receive text and picture mail, send and receive calls (regular number and Google voice number). Now I just have really fast internet.
have you also checked if you're not roaming without knowing?
nonetheless, thanks for posting!
Like I posted in the other thread.....
One test is not definitive.
Do 3-4 with it off, 3-4 with it on, and a couple with it off
Results page from speedtest will report multiple scores.

No roaming, I actually just looked yesterday on Sprint.com and nothing like that. I've been running like this for at least two weeks
This is in response to Rxprt. I have. Every day all day, truthfully, it's fast until I reboot my phone then gets slow again. then I change the setting and it doubles as soon as 3g connects.

Nope, I'm nandroiding back to a sense ROM to try it out. Mr ED from AndroidForums had a method very similar to this one and it didn't work for me.

That sounds like that menu that you go to to mess up your phone from roaming on the 850 band.
It's all a myth to me. If I can get 2500 on a rural tower but go to another and get poor speeds then nothing I do to my phone is going to change that except for roaming of course or maybe toggling in hopes to get on another carrier if the tower has more than one active and it's the air interface congested not the backhaul.
Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge
Though changing this could in theory improve speeds in specific scenarios, its unlikely (and proven when I did a similar test on androidforums.com) that the masses will gain little if anything from these changes.
What we have confirmed is that if you are experiencing slow speeds, the cdma only setting can drastically improve them. The LTE cdma evdo setting is trying to (in some areas) connect to the enhanced cdma technology that is not yet available in most areas, thus the phone ends up on evdo or 1x speeds.
Problem is, the average user has no way of accessing the tower information to even know what areas are complete, in progress, or not effected. Thus results will vary for literally everyone.
And as mentioned, some changes there will result in loss of voice, data, text and or mms

Okay, sorry didn't reply for little bit I had to power wash the parking. :-\ Anyways, the first four were done after the MOD and the bottom four were done before the mod (holding down the power button for 10 seconds and letting the phone restart at factory settings). It definitely works for me, but like it was posted earlier it may not work for everybody.

i didnt have your problem.but 4.4 fw use more than 4.3 i think about 100mb and this is not the claim by google about KK.
I have around 1.1GB free on boot, and an average of 8-900MB free after that. How many apps do you have installed? I wouldn't exclude the possibility that a badly coded app is leaking RAM like a faucet.
i use this app to tell me how much RAM apps are using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.als.usagetimelines
Usage Timelines Free
it's got an easy to read, non cluttered UI
Also don't forget Android's own RAM and geek stats monitor in the dev settings.

I have 480mb left and thats with 3 day uptime. I do notice that its a little sluggish compared with 4.2.2. But thats not memory thats just the system and processes that kitkat uses. More features mean more processes.
Go into settings/developer options
and then change the processes to 4 max.
Default it 8, so that will stop the lag you are probably experiencing.
Above 800 MB free after 5 days without reboot. I play heavy games for about 2 hours everyday (Zelda64 via N64oid, Asphalt 8, Dungeon Hunter 4). But that's on my 4.3
Waiting for the fix before I update to KK. Its already 9/04 and Sony told the fix will start rolling from 7/04
sorry.cannot delete this post..sorry for this post..d*mn..where's the delete..will try later
