Hi guys,
no one has noticed a very slow download speed from Play Store? Before SGS3 i had a HTC ONE X and my download speed it was about 1 Mbytes/sec, now it is 70-80 Kbyte/sec.
My wan is always the same and i haven't change nothing.
Only after my first start of SGS3 (for the synchronization with gmail) the speed seemed like the HTC.
Anyone has some ideas?
Thanks

this is really weird, but i just started experiencing this issue too. my wifi speeds are fine, i downloaded some large applications via my desktop pc and speeds were normal. i even put my phone on mobile data (4g lte) and speeds are also normal. but when on wifi, it is terribly slow.
Tried turning Wifi Power Save off?
*#0011# in dialer (works on Samsung-based roms) -> menu button -> wifi
I tried turning it off. But I dont see a lot of improvement. Using dropsync my SGS2 pulls in around 600KBs over Wifi while my SGS3 only manages around 2-300 tops

I can open and login to Netflix, which is very laggy. I see the list of movies, but when I select a movie (Ironman2 and some old cartoon) it starts to load and just hangs on the red "NetFlix" screen with the loading message. I have 4-5 bars of signal. Any suggestions?
Using NetflixONE
First install of any Netflix
No tweaks to EVO 3D....
Thanks,
Larry
Mine workes fine and its snappy. Then again, I'm using Wifi.
Yeah, I have to try WiFi when I get home. Hopefully that's it. Still, that kind of sucks that I would experience these issues with 4-5 bars!
Either way, thanks for the reply.
Larry
Hmmmmm im using the same but in blue.... Works absolutely perfect... Even over 3G
Sent from my Evo3D
Works for everyone else. So it should work for you. Even if you have full bars... that's just your voice connection. Maybe your data signal is weak. Do you have anything running in the background? Try a SpeedTest.
IN response to ChriChoi...
Hmm, you may be on to something. Ever since I got my phone (June 25) accessing the internet has been slower than when I was using my Hero. For instance, when opening Google, the page would load in decent time but the progress bar would take up to 35 seconds to load! Same with other sites.
As for the Speed Test, here are my results... not sure if this is good or bad
Download = 131kbps
Upload = 128kbps
Ping = 774ms
As for the Netflix apk
- NetFlixONE-HiDef1080p-RedSea-VXXX.apk
I will try the blue version. But I feel it is my data connection or possibly phone.
Update...
It was the "data" connection I had at my office. As soon as I got home and connected my wireless, Netflix worked perfectly. Thanks for all the replies fellas!

Hi Guys
I've got a BestBuy WIfI only Flyer and I'm running Paul O'Brien's HoneyComb 3.41.405.1 and it runs great.
The battery life seems similar to GingerBread but I've noticed that the thing using most of the battery is the mobile radio (via 'battery use' in settings). When I switch to Airplane mode and then turn on WiFi battery life does in deed seem to be much better !
I could leave it in Airplane Mode - I just have to put up with the irratating airplane mode lock screen instead of the beautiful HTC sense one but I'd like to understand why the radio circuitry appears to be turned on. It suggests something is not quite right.
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Thanks
PS - Since the battery life is about the same as with GingerBread I wonder if the mobile radio circuitry was getting turned even in the standard HTC rom as well ?
Are you using Twitter? THat killed a lot of battery when I was on HC.
I don't think Twitter is running. It is installed but I've NEVER signed in.
In any case all data would surely be over WiFi? The Issue here is that the mobile radio (I.e the 3G circuitry) is appearing to draw some power from the battery on a WiFi Only Flyer !
On initial set up when it asks for if you use 3g of wifi you may have clicked next so it tries to use 3g. the only way is to wipe data and when it asks for wifi or 3g you pick wifi only.
There is an issue if you do not declare wifi only during initial setup screens then the cell standby code runs continuously trying to initialize a non-existent radio, and eats the battery. The only way to fix it is as described in the post above.
Thanks Guys
I'll try wiping the flyer. Whats the best way to back-up my apps under HC?
Regards
There is a way to fix this through the easter egg menus hidden in the flyer. There's a thread on how to do this somewhere, but I'll give the instructions here anyway.
Open the flyer's calculator app.
Put the flyer in landscape mode so you can see all the advanced function keys.
Enter: !+!+4636+!+! and hit = .
From the easter egg menu which comes up, select "Tablet Information."
Click "Turn off radio."
That's it!
Note that you have to do this each time the flyer reboots. It isn't sticky. Luckily the symbols entered into calculator ARE sticky, so just go into it again and hit equals (unless you have to use the calculator for something else, of course. I recommend downloading a different app, like RealCalc, for everyday use).

Titianum backup is what I use.
Battery life better now
Hi Guys
I used the Calculator 'Easter Egg' to turn off the mobile radio.
I've been running the Flyer ON-STOP for the last 8 hours and I've got 8% battery left. For 6 1/2 of those hours I've been watching YouTube videos (Just left it playing through my playlists) so it's been using WiFi for at least that long out of the 8 hours.
Seems like pretty good battery life to me !
Thanks again
I am on AT&T in the US - and ever since I switched to an ICS ROM (either CM9 or Samsung's official) I am unable to get my network speeds via any speedtest app. I have tried Speedtest.net, Xtremelabs Speedtest, and the FCC Test app.
I will get decent ping speeds, and then the download test hangs and i never get more than 60kbps as a result, but my upload speeds are always very high, higher than they normally are.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I had a similar problem with ICS ROMs. Speeds were very, very low (compared to GB ROMs with KL1 and KI4 modems). The phone was very sluggish when using the browser, Play Store, and several news apps. But like you said, upload speeds would pop real high, to something like 4 Mbps, then drop to near zero. The "Restart Test" button wouldn't come up for about two minutes. I tried about 20 different APN configs to no avail.
Now that I am back on GB, the phone screams. I haven't yet figured out if it is a custom ROM or an ICS modem issue.

Well the phone seems fine in regards to speeds. It's when I run the speedtest that it records a ridiculous speed. I think it must be something with ICS ROMs and how the speedtest app runs tests

jerdog, when testing XWLPU, I had this same issue. Running a test within the Speedtest.net app the download test hangs, and reports a ridiculously low speed when it's finished, but ping and upload seem normal.
Speeds otherwise seem fine browsing and downloading stuff, and if I run a speed test on a web page (like from Speedtest.net the actual web page via the Flash plug-in, instead of the app), the download speeds are likewise fine. It seems it is only broken in the app.
Did you ever figure out what the deal was?
PS- apologies for the super bump.

It would seem that you need to remove the proxy settings and then things were fine IIRC.

Thx for the info. I'll try it again next version of ICS I test.
Edit: sorry... Proxy settings from where? The APN?
Edit 2: it was indeed the proxy settings in the APN. once I removed the proxy, the speed test work just fine. Thx jerdog.
Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik
I have tried IM+ and that works perfectly over wifi. The problem is that since GTalk does not work over wifi then I don't get notifications from Google Play or other apps as well. When i switch over to 3G I get all notifications at once.

There is nothing wrong with your phone. Google are having problems at the moment:

So don't go do any impact testing or aerodynamic analysis of your phone, it should all come back to life soon

The problem is that it have been this way since I got the phone, not just yesterday.
Hello all,
I have a cable modem, which broadcasts 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi signals. My internet connection speed is 1000 Mbps.
The problem is, that the wifi-based internet acts quite strange. I don't know how to explain it precisely, sorry for the lame description. My experiences so far:
Connecting to the wifi signals with the phone are fast and flawless. Both to the 2.4 and 5 GHZ networks.
The phone is within the 0,5-1 meter range from the source, the signal strength is maximum.
From the user's aspect it seems that the internet speed is wobbling from normal to very slow.
It seems like the host resolving is extremely slow, the downloading speed is fine.
Speedtest app displays ~500 Mbps download speed but sometimes it takes a minute to establish the measuring connection.
In most cases I'm unable to install or update apps from the Play Store. I can browse the store without problems, but the apps are not downloading, instead I'm getting a few minutes long "pending" text, then an error which displays "The app cannot be dowbloaded". In some cases the apps are downloaded.
I've tried the following:
The problem affects both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz networks.
Slowdowns are appearing both in browser and applications.
Another devices on the same networks are working fine. Even my old Samsung S7, an iPhon7 and a Realme Pad.
I have already checked the wifi channel population, there are no relevant interferences.
If I turn off then restart or switching between the wifi networks, it seems working fine for a minute then it starts to lagging again.
Mobile broadband connection is working perfectly.
Any tips and help are much appreciated. Thank you.

Why don't you update the ROM to the latest version?

RMX3301_11_A.10 is the latest version. It came out yesterday.
I have the latest ROM.
In the meantime I have figured out that the host resolving slowdowns were caused by an adblocking app, EVEN if it was turned off entirely.
Google Play Store downloads still struggling though. Sometimes they're lightning fast, in other cases do not finish.
I'm continuing the investigation.

How did you do the initial installation? Everything from scratch or from a backup of your previous phone?.
If you did the initial install from a backup, I recommend doing a hard reset and installing everything from scratch. The phone will work much better.

I did it from a backup, then installed some other stuff manually. To be honest, the phone started doing it automatically during the initial setup and I let it go. Does it matter?

Of course it matters, first, surely the backup was from android 11 and in the Realme you have android 12 and they are also different models, different processors. Some applications will create incompatibilities and that will make the phone work erratically.

Thanks for the tip, I will do a hard reset then and see what happens.
Well, I did a hard reset (a clean wipe) and reinstalled everything manually.
Google Play Store (from now on: GPS) still not working properly, but the browsing speed and everything else is fine.
In most cases GPS downloads are in "pending" status, then after one or two minutes, it displays a "can not download" error.
The interesting thing is, if I turn off then immediately on the wifi connection the downloads continue with full speed. This is working for a minute or so, then the connection become unstable again.
Quite annoying, but I can live with that until it affects only GPS downloads. Everything else looks normal (browsing, in-app downloads, notifications, messaging speed etc.)
For the Google Play store issue try this.
1. Go to system settings
2. Go to APPS
3. Go to APP management
4. Go to Google Play Store and open it
5. Tap the 3 dots at the top right
6. Choose uninstall updates
See if this begins to work properly afterwards

Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem.
If you have access to another wifi in another location does the Google Play store issue continue? If it works then you have some type of issue with the wifi at your location.
