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

So I got 2.0mb-2.5mb upload on my phone
And I want it to be used on my PC... But only the Upload
I still want to use my ISP download because on my phones is capped at 1Gb.
Is there a way to this be accomplished... Limiting the tether only for upload speeds?
Thanks..
Basically: no.
TCP/IP just doesn't support the sort of deferred connections you're implying. You'd have to make requests via the phone and somehow tell the server to respond to a completely different address.
Hey guys,
sorry if this is a stupid question or its been asked before, but how can I test the wifi connection speed on my Prime? There must be a way to do it as all of the reviews have results..
Thanks for any info.
Search market for speed test speedtest.net have a nice app for that

thanks for the reply but i've tried that, it just tests my internet connection speed. I want to test my local wifi network speed
That is what a wifi test is doing is checking your internet speed.
Now if you want to check your signal strength, then look in the market for apps called wifi analyzer.
Speedtest is serverside so the max speed is going to be dependant on my internet connection.. all i'm interested in is my local speed.
Thanks for the replies.
I don't think there is an android app out, but you could go the other way around.
You could download a lan speed test for your PC and then connect to the IP address of your tablet/connected device and test the speed?
Maybe that will work for you?

Ah now that's thinking outside the box!
Cheers, i'll give it a go.
You need to have some sort of server and an app to download files from that server.
I tested download speed from my nasserver to my Galaxy S2 to compare Wifi G vs Wifi N.
Went from 2.26MB/s on G to 3.66 MB/s on N wifi.
"Filesize / seconds"
My laptop is 10mb/s on same N wifi netowrk.. could be faster but is only 100mbit lan netowork..
Transferring a (large) file from a server to your tablet would measure not only local WiFi speed, but Prime's internal capability of processing and storing data. I just did a quick test downloading a file from my work's Samba server and got speeds of about 0.6 and 2.5 kbytes/s for the Prime and my laptop, respectively. This is in line with kunddizzle, who got laptop speeds about four times faster that from the Prime.
This is interesting. Clearly, WiFi speed is not everything. Prime doesn't seem to be dealing very well with incoming data. Don't know whether it is due to its WiFi receiver, processor, memory, storage or something else. But, at least in two cases reported here, it is slower than a laptop on the same network.

Hi,
I known it's an old thread, but I had the same problem and was not able not find any local wifi speed test application after read a tons of forum. So I've just written an android application that can do that test. Maybe it will be useful for you too.
Just find "wifi speed test" (pzolee) on Google Play.
I am not a big expert in android programming but I tried to do my best
Hi All.
I have a very weird problem with my Prime.
If I check my internet speed with Speetest I get the full 30 Mbits I get from my ISP.
However If I start to download a file form my NAS (WD Mybook Live) to the prime with any app that supports samba shares I'm lucky if the transfer speed hits 3-4 Mbits!! (is was 450kb/s tops)
Coping the same file to my PC from the NAS goes with ~25Mb/s
Did anybody else encounter this issue?
Oddly, I have this problem on my Galaxy Nexus and most other devices I've owned. I'd used to be able to get 1MB/s (8mbits) which is still slow
Perhaps it's something to do with our router & server settings
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.
Hi guys,
I've got a Netgear wifi n router and a Netgear usb wifi n connected to my pc, and I'm using my gs3 as an ftp server to transfer files to and from my pc.
The problem is that I can get a max upload speed to and from my pc of 2.7mb a second. I should be getting better results as the router and wifi a stated as 300mb connection.
Anyone can give me some information regarding?
Thanks

Same here, Im getting speeds of 2mbps and less with phone, while my laptop connected to same AP is giving 8 to 9mbps.
I even tryed disabling power saver mode but still no luck.
And both laptop and mobile were tested with same signal strength.
WiFi is kernel so you have the option of trying different kernels .

The speed I get when using a web based speedtester using my 60mb internet connection are:
2.4ghz:
connect at 65mb with router set to 300mb around 30mb transfer rate
connect at 72mb with router set to 145mb around 30mb transfer rate
5ghz:
connect at 150mb with router set to 300mb or 145mb around 62mb transffer rate
Not tried much else but if I were to run a local transfer I should see at least what I get using 5ghz wifi via internet tester.
I dont think your problem is hardware related. It could be a few things. So you would need to troubleshoot. Some ideas:
Ftp daemon using a lot of overhead can cause slowness, try a different daemon
Filesystem write and read speed, run some benchmarks to see
Kernel problem or sysctl variables, tcp send or recieve buffer for example. Sysctl -a in a terminal on your phone and see.
The key thing here though is that if I were to connect at 2.4ghz I would see around 3mb per second transfer rates.
Hope that helps.

I have a 150mbps 2.4ghz N router, giving me 2mbps speeds using ES file explorer, when its connected at 65mbps,
But i dont understand is why is it connecting at 65mbps in the first place,
and even after connecting at 65mbps giving such low transfer speeds,where as it should be giving 5-6mbps ideally or at-least a 4.
I have tryed it on Siyah and Perseus kernels with no/less difference in results,
Im trying to copy files on Internal SDcard which has transfer speeds of Read 53.4MBps and Write 22.16MBps
Will try different Ftp apps and see whether it makes any difference.
