Bit torrent on android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a d/l speed of about 20mbs on my sgs3 bit when I try and use bit torrent or utorrent to download it get next to nothing. I get decent connection on wifi but live in a village and only get 2mbs. Do you think my provider (ee uk) are limiting it? Or is there a way of making it faster that bit just can't see?
Thanks

Just to clarify I mean 20mbs on 3g and slow download on 3g

not sure if 100% accurate, but torrents should require more processing power which is what limits your data transfer. for example i usually get like 6-8MB/s on my laptop but if i set up my router as a download box (800MHz proc) i get max 1MB and often the router craches die to its inability to process the large volume of data fast enough. I think the same thing happens with your device also.

Slow 3G?

I have tried searching but I can't find anything on the 3G speeds for the optimus one, other than the manufacturer thing, which is 7.2MB/s
I'm getting ~1200KBPS (1.2mb/s) with a 900 ping to a server right beside me, is this normal? I have the 3G tweak installed
Yeah it's normal.I get anywhere from 300kbps to 3mbps depending on location and no of people connected.

Do you have any tweaks?
Try removing 3g tweak. I normally get 2.5 to 3.5mbps, with the server about 50m away.

Help please

Hey guys, my wife's photon has a terrible data speed. I don't know why, were both running the exact same software/prl. I've wiped the phone and reloaded all the updates and her data connection is still slow. Side by side speed tests between her phone and mine show my phone is grabbing 2.2mb, and her phone is struggling to reach 100 Knossos. Any ideas????

That's crazy, subscribed to see how this plays out. Both are connected to the same network, right? (I know, unlikely you're comparing 4G to 3G, just making sure )
I have actually had a similar issue before. And had sprint reset my data and such, and it fixed the problem. But over time it went back to being hit and miss with the good speeds.
As stated, have Sprint look at her data plan. All carriers have the ability to slow you down or speed you up.
Funny, @ a month back I looked at Sprints "Unlimited Data" fine print. To make this short, we do have unlimited data, BUT, if your using your device as a server, sending out mass Spam, or (and yes it states this) if you turn on your webcam and set it on the table for several hours, the will turn down your bandwidth for that billing cycle.
I did the above because a old friend is long time AT&T iPhone user on Unlimited Data. AT&T decided to cap new users at 5Gb but last month decided to slow down old users after 5Gb. Not charge them, but put them on a leash.
Hey guys thanks for the responces. Problem solved!!!! I had to use rsdlite to change the software back to the old mr3 release, and manually update her phone to the latest software and then I had to factory reset like 6 times and finally it her data speeds increased. Now there were they need to be.......oh and I wasn't talking about 4g speeds, I was refering to the 3g data speeds. I have an air rave at home. I usually test the 3g speeds atleast once a week. Its a good way to keep up with q.o.s. on the air rave. Thanks for all the responces everyone.

So the speeds were slow when it was connected to your home airrave? Then I don't think its a problem with sprint or your phone but rather your home internet connection. But if you're not connected to the airrave and outside then that's a diff problem

Very true, however I own a photon, and when I do a speed test while being connected to the air rave, and my numbers are high, I know something isn't right with my wife's phone. I also run a speed test on my internet connection at home to ensure I'm getting every megabyte I pay att for lol.

Using LTE for Xbox Live

Believe it or not, Xbox Live does not use a lot of data over our 4G LTE connections.
About 10 games of MW3, some youtube videos, and a few network tests over my 4G on the Xbox only got me 262MB download and 16MB upload.
Anyway, the wifi in my house works real well, and I don't need my LTE for my XBL but LTE is even better than my wifi so I'm thinking I'd see some performance improvement for matchmaking.
However, the NAT is always moderate and I do suffer from higher than average ping,
I know the fixes for routers, etc, but is there a similar option to open ports and such on the wifi tether app to open my NAT?
Thanks.
Been using mobile hotspot for ps3 cod for a while now. No problems at all, other than the high pings and moderate . So would like to know too.
Very interested in finding a answer for this as well. If anyone wants to play mw3 my gamertag is xturbom3x

I luck out sometimes but I've never seen lower than 70 ping on LTE where I live.
Love my 25 ping at home though.

i haven't tried with xbl as both of my 360's are rr'd. i have used it on my gaming netbook however and find it works rather well most of the time.
The only thing I've seen as a solution is here, post 8. It uses barnacle, which I don't even know if that works with the Rezound.

If I had better service at my house I would use LTE, my wifi at home just comes and goes as it pleases.
But, my PS3 does pretty good with my hone wifi anyway. I even end up being host on mw3 sometimes.

I used to see low pings on lte, less than 80 all the time but in the last 6 months, its consistently low 100's here in san antonio.
Considering my home wifi is 5-15ms ping, I'll stick to that. (TWC Wideband)
What app are you all using to tether?
The Wifi Tether app that's included in most ROMs now.
I can't get it to work. Done everything that Scott said and it just doesn't work. But Bluetooth works.
I like to use my phone for gaming tethering. I can play minecraft and tekkit flawlessly. That is not much to say though. I can play leaduebof legends with minimal lag. I can play starcraft 2 with minimal lag. I can play garrys mod with little lag but some lag spikes and lastly I can play bf3 with medium lag. Low. Lag is 40 ping. Medium lag is 80-120. Overall I think that the rezound is more than powerful enough to play most online games.

I use the wifi tethering app.
Use device as gnexus cdma/lte.
Routing fix.
Encryption.
Driver reload.
Very reliable but turns phone into a microwave.

I know how the wifi tether app works, most of us do, we're looking for a way to tether to XbL without a moderate or strict NAT, basically opening ports.

Did anybody try my link to a solution via Barnacle I posted earlier in the thread? Worth a shot...

Is 65mb the fastest wifi on the Note?

When on 5mhz N the max I get is 65mbs. I know my network will go 300 so is this a limitation of the Note?
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
anytime a device is using a dual band router...5ghz is the fastest on wifi.....make sure when choosing it..your wifi setting are not on 2.4 or auto...make sure your on 5ghz as well to achieve maximum performance..do this by clicking menu in wifi setting I believe
Hmm, tried that but no change even when standing right by the router.
Thanks though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I think you have reached the limit of the device if you are seeing 65....g
if your just looking at your wifi screen and it says 65mb....that's not telling you much at all...download speedtest app in market....make 2 profiles 1 with your 2.4 ghz with password on router and a 5ghz one....now scan your phone and simpky try each and test each one separatetly on wifi, that's the only way to know what ghz is really faster, then looking at the wifi login screen..
You must not live in the US. I would kill for those speeds.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Are you sure your not looking at this menu..lmao....Yes the picture of my 2.4 ghz says 65mpbs but with testing. the note will never achieve this value..believe me...the most I have ever seen is upper 40's on wifi....the picture of your your wifi screen means hardly nothing...testing it on speedtest will verify what thkse actual wifi speeds are

Yeah so is mine but that'll only give you local transfer speeds, not from the Internet
It's been a while since I looked ...
But the note maximum wifi capacity is in the 50-60 range I believe ...
Again ...I honestly can't remember.
That sure would a nice speed ...
My best is around 10 down ....g
This is my fastest on wifi...some higher on Lte...I made a thread in general section called Att apn hack if interested...here's my screen shots..
so yes its possible..

by the way, wouldnt the note write speed limit you anyway?
like your connection is 300mb u say. so say you had it transferring at 250mb....but could it? since i doubt the note could write data that fast? well at least not to the emmc. doesnt where u writing to internal or external matter as to how fast those memory/drives are?

3 UK

Hi. Recently I have been experiencing extremely, painfully slow Internet over the last few days on three UK. Normally its fine but the last few weeks it has been really slow. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Its slow at my house where I live but anywhere else and its fine? Any help?

Mines been the same I'm in the north east, it seems to be getting back to normal now though.
The other problem I have is my internet signal usually disappears on a saturday and sunday during the day.
Only help is to contact your network or try a different network sim .

Switching from 02 I've noticed the speeds are slower. Using speed test I'd always be over 1mb with 02 but barely can get half a mb with 3. It doesn't really bothered me though because I only use it for streaming radio and browsing what is very snappy despite the slow connection.
Could you do a speed test using the speed test apply.
I got 102ping. 455kbps down. 587kbps up. Very odd my upload being faster than my download.

I got ping 58 , 13.35 Mbps download and 3.35 Mbps upload in town where my internet works because its not near where I live. And at home I get ping 355, 0.56 Mbps download and 0.33 upload.. In don't get it its just rubbish where I live nowhere else .. And I've tried switching to a different three sim but to no prevail. I now have to use pur home WiFi because 3G is always too slow to load. But seeming as I have a "all you can eat data plan" it seems pointless to use WiFi might as well use 3G since I have it
