Hi guys,
This has been bothering me for quite a long time and its very unusual for me at least.
So my friend has a WiFi connection (in theory 512 kbps )
When we try to download from browser from PC or Mobile(browser) speed is normal i e 70 - 80 kbps max.
But in Google Play Store speeds are ridiculously high. We tried from his Micromax and my Moto G too.
For example yesterday i downloaded Pocket Tanks (40 mb) in just few seconds. Updates are super fast too.
Even my 2 Mbps WiFi doesn't go so fast.
Its a good thing but I am trying to figure out why not on PC or Browser but only in Play Store?
Any guesses?

It's possible that you're reading different measurements. Remember the difference between a B and a b. A B is byte. A b is a bit. A byte is 8 bits. Speeds are typically measured in amounts of bits, not bytes. Thus, one thing might give you a measurement in Kb or Mb, and something else might be measured in KB or MB.

Nope there is no question of measurements....
I know this is very unusual and thats what im trying to figure out...
I guess I would have to post video regarding this.... besides other phones camera how do you record onscreen activity of mobile?
Hi
So I was trying to record speed using android dev kit and when downloading it I was getting 3 - 4 mbps.
So I'm getting high speeds from google servers as ADK and play store apps are on those servers...
Can someone plz explain it further?
i have the same issue and was wondering if i could get high speeds on my browser too?have you found out anything new?
Yeah, few day back I read somewhere, that if you get very high speed on the following sites :-
-> Google Playstore
-> Google Drive
-> Youtube. etc
Or any other site related to GOOGLE, You are directly connected to GOOGLE's Server. I'am also getting very high speed on these sites from yesterday. I think Google is providing direct support of its servers to different Service Providers.

Saw this on ppcgeeks, I was wondering what xda users' speeds were (rev a or not) on their titan...
www.dslreports.com/mspeed (1mb test)
1603k
opera mini
rev a. update
titan, sprint leaked rom
chicago (NW suburbs)
anywhere from 200k to 1200k
in ie
but, i can't seem to run the test again through opera mini, says to fast/unstable, do i need to clear some cache from opera? so many of these tests seem so off, like running from ie vs opera..
can anyone recommend good websites for testing from the phone (non flash) for accurate results?
I did the 1 meg test for the dcd's titan rom 2.0.0 on my Verizon Titan w/Rev A 3.27.00 Radio ROM
911 kbit/sec - 985 kbit/sec

I am getting 900k or better on a regular basis, same test site. I cant use speedtest.net for whatever reason cause the phone wont load properly.
If anyone is using other speed test sites, let me know.
I get 200 to 900 on Alltell in Springfield Missouri on the stock ROM. My results are all over the board. It bounces up and down plus or minus 300 kbits from one second to the next in the same physical spot. I check it often since it was my reason for switching to Alltel. It seems strange that it supposedly fluctuates so greatly from one second to the next as Im standing still.

Puts a lot of stress on the CPU to have to both load and render the pages. You see the same effect on a PC if you have no video drivers installed.
There's a non-Java test at www.mobilespeedtest.com. With ROM version 2.09 and only PIE running, I got top EVDO speeds around 955kbps when testing five times in a row, with an average of about 865k when throwing out the one-time 245k result.
i'm in greensboro NC highest i've got around here is 12xx something
Sigh. Close to goin nuts here. Sprint Touch Pro EVDO Internet Speed vs. Mogul.
Trying to be clear and concise as possible here. I've searched forums here and at PPC and Google. I don't think I'm that much of a n00b ROMing and customizing my Mogul for the past almost 18 months.
Heres the issue: I have, for the last 3 days, Activated, Deactivated, and Reactivated my Mogul and my Touch Pro (Raphael) to test something I am experiencing.....
Severely sluggish Internet Speed Tests on my Touch Pro.
I am using http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?t=1&s=1024&w= which is the 1MB file download.
Sitting in the same exact seat, either here at my office or at home I get around 900 down on the Mogul. IF, and only IF, the Touch Pro is able to completely download the dummy file for the speed test (it usually craps out right at 460) the test is rated in the 150 down range.
I'd like to also add, that when downloading the file, I will have 4 Bars and the In/Out Airows and then all the suddent they will dissappear and reappear... this is usually when the time out occurs.
I started tooling with this because I found I could not watch Youtube or Sprint TV like I used to be able to on the Mogul without it to either take a long time to buffer in the beginning or just play the first minute or so and then start buffering forever again.
I can not figure this out. Is anyone else experiencing EVDO performance issues versus their previous Sprint EVDO Rev. A device?
I have tried all of the different Radios, no change, and different ROMs from Stock, to Boreds, to MightyMouse and back to Stock.
Care to weigh in?
Tweaking your Sprint Touch Pro
Try downloading the Advanced Configuration Tool from:
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool.html
It is a free application and helps to tweak the bandwidth for download/upload and a lot of other settings. It also adjusts the sensitivity of the screen so you don't have to press as hard during scrolling. There are over 200 adjustments that can be made and some of them have "advised" settings to help you out. It makes a noticeable difference for internet speeds and other items.
Also get Net Framework 3.5 from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en
PHM Registry Editor will also be needed to adjust some settings depending on what Mods you download:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/09/04/phm-registry-editor-registry-editor-for-pocket-pc.html
I hope this helps some....best of luck
what settings need to be tweaked in the Advanced Configuration Tool and the Registry to fix this because my internet is also very sluggish at times too.
also having a problem. Mogul gets 1500-1900k, my TP gets ~300k. On sprint.
[HOTFIX] - Go under Advance Config Tool and under the network settings tap increase the tcp window size to the greatest value. My internet is flying now just had 1500 kb/s on the Sprint EVDO Network compared to 500k/b i used to have

Is the TCP Window the only thing you changed? I changed mine and my speed went from 300 kb/s to 190 kb/s.

Yea it was but make sure your tcp retransmissions are set to 8 or 10 times and make sure DHCP is enabled. Also keep taking the test it might take awhile for connections 2 be received. There might be something interferring with ur connection if like a tweak(cab) or registry edit u might have done.
I just used a program that I down loaded from a Russian site called tcptune. worked great. Don't use any of the presets just play with the tweaks. I have mine optimized, and I am getting about 900-1500 mbs. Works great. You may alos wan to go to DSLreports.com for some tips. I have attached the file
Just Did some Tweaks with the software I recommended. Here are the results from mobilespeedtest.com.
You should be able to get some great results. I have been looking for software to do this for a longtime.
I have attached a screen shot of the results. I would like to get some banter going on tweaks for internet speed re: HTC Touch Pro, and in particular Sprint EVDO rev A.
It's like nobody else does this? I have been tweaking internet speeds on my PC's for years to optimize speed.
So has anybody else been tweaking. I just tweaked my phone with a higher rwin, and have got some great speeds.
My speed test
I have a HTC Touch Pro on the way, should be here in the morning. I ran the speed test on mobilespeedtest.com and my result was 8445 kbps at 3MB on my mogul 6800. Why am I so much faster than what you guys are showing? I hope I can get my Touch Pro up to this speed.
What browser are you using?
I used the software that i provided (tcptune). After doing research, my final settings for Cellular line 1, and Cellular line 2, I set the settings up as following:
Rwin: 98304
Windows Scaling on
TTL 128
MTU Discovery on
Selective Acks on
Time Stamps off
I posted the one screen shot where I got over 2500 kbps on a lucky day
I regularly get 1200 to 1500 kbps with the tweaks I noted.
My previous speeds were 350-450 kbps regularly.
I am on Sprint, and let me tell you these tweaks make a world of difference, with no ill effects.
Slikgman:
Are sure about those numbers. 8445 kbps is 8.5 Mbps
I don't think that Verizon or Sprint even support those speeds.
You are talking like close to Ethernet (10 Mbps) speeds over wireless.
Are you sure you not talking 844 kbps?

I know it sounds crazy, thats why I posted it. When I used DSLreport.com I got around 1000kbps and sometime 600kbps. With mobilespeedtest.com Im a Rock Star!!!! I just ran it again and it is 8108 kbps. I am using Opra Mini for my browser.
I ran the same test on my work computer (desktop) to see what it would be and I was reported running at around 3652 kbps. So my phone was faster than my work connection. LOL
I just got my Touch Pro, and I have never sync my mogule to my computer.
How do I get my contacts to my new PRO? I am running Vista and my mobile Device Center is not doing anything when I connect my 6800.
Are you using opera for the speed test?
If yes, you cant use opera.. Try internet explorer.
the 8.5m is not ur speed it is opera's proxy server speed
remember opera mini and skyfire use proxy servers, so all ur internet requests with those browser go from ur phone to there servers and then those servers have super fast internet to grab the page that u requested wich then they will make it a lot smaller and send it right back to u
Internet explorer 425kbps...... That sucks, thanks a lot guys!!!!!
LOL

I set the rwin to 225000 and Im getting a little over 1500kbps right now. I cant wait to see what its like this evening.
When I go to dslreports I get slow speeds but when I go to mobilespeedtest I get phenomenal speeds. Which one should I believe?
Bought my Rezound last night and noticed slight lag in text messenging.
I ran some speed tests to check things out.
I'm getting blazing fast download speeds, like 30mb on 4g and where my PC is getting 16mb on a WiFi connect my Rezound is pulling closer to 20mb sitting right next to it.
However, using the same WiFi connect my PC pulls 9mb upload speeds and my Rezound is either puttering around the 1-2 mb range or barely finishes the test at around 0.
Same with 4g connection, and I'm using speedtest.net aswell as Speakeasy just to make sure.
Also tested is my droid incredible. Consisent with the laptop I get around 15 mb download speeds with 8 or 9 mb upload. Rezound results around 19 to 20 down and .6 mb upload.
I exchanged the phone for a brand new one today and am having the same issues.
It does not make sense and I was wondering if anyone here has any similar experiences or could give me an idea to what the issue is.
Thanks
Nope. Getting the best upload speeds then every device I've ever owned.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I have not had that issue myself. You can look at a ton of speedtest screenshots in this thread:

I don't recall anyone mentioning that issue though.
Hi guys,
I've got a question for you, my fellow Flyer users.
Recently I got a new Modem/Router from my ISP.
I installed everything and it all works without a hick up.
After the installation I tested the internet speed using the Speedtest.net site.
On both my Windows laptops an my wives Macbook the speed was excellent, about 40 Mbps download and 2.5 Mbps upload and a 15 ms ping.
Same on the Ipad 3 we have.
However, on my HTC Flyer I only get between 5 and 10 Mbps download but I do get 2.5 upload but the ping is nearly 100 ms.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be or what app I can best use to see whats up. I now think the Flyer only connects in WiFi B mode instead of G or N. And it has been doing this all the time. I used to think the browser was slow but I now think this might be the problem. Is there any way to change this forcefully?
The router is a Cisco EPC3925 and I use WPA2 TKIP-AES security. It's on channel 1, 40 Mhz wide (wide channel 5) and in 2.4 Ghz mode ...not 5 Ghz.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Martijn
Try to use channel 11....strange enough this helped me in the past when I had several problems with my wi-fi network. Otherwise you could try this....go to the wi- fi settings on you flyer, choose Advanced and then choose the first option.
Tried channel 11 and it doesn't make a difference.
Connection speed also varies alot.
My laptops and the Ipad have good speed everywhere in the house.
But the HTC only in the proximity (< 4m.) of the router. And even then it is still way slower than the other devices. If I move further from the router the speed collapses.
Best I get is about 28Mbps while the others get around 38 and up to 52 Mbps.
Shame, I had a higher expectations of the Flyer.
Next I will put my old Belkin N router in the network as access point and see what happens.
First time I ever heard anyone complain about 20Mbs. you sure you got those numbers right? Most of use don't have a ISP that can even approach that. So you will get little sympathy. Anyway ping should only be between your router and the external IP, so whats up with that? Speedtest.net is a poor way to measure device performance since there are so many factors in between. Use a local lan speed test or you might just be measuring browser speed and nothing to do with the hardware.
I've seen a similar behavior some time ago.
Here is what I've got:
Speedtest on my desktop gives me about 20-25M
I turn my Flyer on, run the test, I get 4-6M.
I turn Airplane mode on, turn it off, test the speed. I get 20-25M.
I'm guessing throughput got something to do with the sleep mode.
Hi all,
First of, I'm talking about Mbps (Mega bits per second) NOT MBs (Mega Bytes per second). Huge difference there.
And 20 Mbps is of course a good speed, but its unsteady and way slower than the other devices.
As I wrote before my Ipad and laptops never go below 35 Mbps and I'm lucky if I get the Flyer over 20 Mbps. With my ISP promissing about 50 Mbps thats a big difference.
So I'm just dissapointed with the performance of the Flyer which I thought to be a top of the line tablet.
So thats why I placed the thread. I tried the air plane mode thing and different channels, taking into account which are busy around me. But stil slower than the rest and alot of different readings between messurments. Even using my ISP speedtest app, even then same result.
But judging by the lack of respons I gather I am the only one. Pity I hoped for a solution.
Any thanks for taking the time to help me.
cheers

Sorry, but I can't imagine for what purpose you could use 200+ Mbit/s transferrates on a Smartphone. Regardless of my personal opinion, I have absolutely no clue how to "optimize" the settings to reach these rates. But I will test it for myself so I can provide you some comparative values. :good:
