Is it possible to force an app to be downloaded over 3G when it wants you to download over WiFi? I get excellent 3G service now, but a lot of games won't let me install because it ''wants'' to do it over WiFi. Grrrrrrrr..... >_<
thats wierd gta 3 was like 400 mb and it downloaded for me no problem its never tried to stop me useing 3g it does warn me however though
Turning on WiFi and not connecting seemed to help me connect to games that require WiFi to play online, without WiFi around, I'm not sure about the extra content part tho, normally I try to stick to WiFi for that to save battery and time,

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??

How do I limit my Galaxy Tab's internet speed to 100kb/s?
In a nutshell, im looking for Netlimiter for android kinda thing.
why would you want to slow down the speed? Normally you must be mad at how slow your Wifi is and try everything to speed it up even just a little...
One does not simply play games on computer when Galaxy tab 2 takes all the bandwidth
Bumb, anyone?
Refer to this thread , as there is an app which can limit your wifi speed :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-bandwidth-manager-android-t2972889
or directly download the app from here :
Bandwidth ruler free on goolge Store
Wi-Fi
you could just turn off wifi when you are not using it on your tablet.
On my DNA when I run speed test it goes to a server automatically and I get maybe 12 mb speed. If I go into settings of speed test and select the server which is actually closest to me, my speeds are 40mb+. So my question is which one is my phone using and can I make my phone use the closer one?

The servers listed in the speedtest.net app (I'm assuming this is the one you're using) have absolutely nothing to do with how fast your internet will be. No matter which server you choose, your actual internet speed will be just as fast. When you run a speed test, your phone uploads then downloads a test file to and from the remote server. This allows the app to measure how fast your internet is. When you aren't running a speed test, your phone isn't connected to the server any more, and the server has no effect on your internet. Some servers will tell you that your internet is faster than others because some of the servers don't have as high a capacity as others, and your connection may be too fast for them to measure. What does affect the speed is how good your home internet is. or how strong of a 4G signal you have.
I have a rooted Samsung SIII with wifi hotspot enabled to which I connect a VPN PC client .
I, sometimes use the PC to upload some files to an external server .
I downloaded an android app called android Bandwidth ruler to limit the upload/download speed such that I continue surfing while uploading and I set the rate to 800kbps , but the app limited only the download speed as I can watch the speed in ookla .
Does anyone know an alternative to limit both tethering download and upload?
Thanks
