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
0.293s to 0.198s latency
9.228s to 8.445s d/l time
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.
Harrisburg, PA
First Run
837kbit/sec
0.837s latency
10.401s download time
Second Run
874bikt/sec
0.994s latency
10.014s download time
I'm getting around 900k, but those damned lacked of video drivers really kill the fun of EVDO when trying to use web browsers.

I don't know too much about the lack of drivers; but what does the lack of drivers do to hinder the phone / web browsing?
On Telus, using Opera in my building with ****ty reception, 1039 kbit/sec.
0.329s latency
8.129s d/l time.
That is on a1jatt's custom Telus rom on the latest radio 3.27.00
Wow, a restest shows:
1996 kbit/sec.
0.22 latency
4.323s d/l time.
I'm in Ottawa, Ontario.
800-1100kbps
I used the mspeed a couple times but I prefer speakeasy.

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
Hi, I am looking to try a gingergread rom, but there are many out there and everyone seems to have its thing..
I care about 2 things mostly, battery life and GPS. I use my gps a lot and therefore battery.. mine now, with froyo nextgen 2, gps is superfast and accurate.
Battery easily last me 20-30 hours, mostly using 2g, I don't need more for mail and maps..
Wich rom do you think I should use?
The two things you care about most are the two things that are the biggest problems. That being said, I like Simply Stock JVT.
Sent from my GT-I9000
If you need GPS, then you should stay with Froyo. GPS on GB is not that good. If you really want to have GB with good GPS, like I do, then buy yourself an external bluetooth receiver, and use it with Bluetooth GPS Provider app, which you can download it for free from Market.
I am using Nofrills AOPS GB ROM (JVS). It is really fast and smooth. Of course there are still a few issues: Wifi doesn't work, video capture is crappy, and a few more ... But I can live with this ROM for the time being, until things get improved.
Just my opinion, hope it helps.
Hello,
firstly I apologize in the advance if there is a such thread made for this issue and if I opened the thread in the wrong location.
Now, regarding the issue is with the LTE speed between original MIUI and custom ROM. I have tried all custom ROMs: Lineage OS, Havoc OS, Nitrogen OS and Pixel Experience. All are working perfectly with one big downside and that is LTE speed. With MIUI I get full LTE speed about 50-70Mbps, HOWEVER with all custom ROMs I get LTE speed strictly limited to 4-5Mbps for unknown reason. I flashed different vendor firmware version, I even tried with root and without root. Sadly I got same results.
All I know that custom ROM is based on AOSP so I assume there is something missing something. I live in Europe, in country Slovenia.
Is there anything worth trying to fix LTE speed in custom ROMs? I have the global version Pocophone F1.
Thanks in the advance for the help.
LOL!! 50-70MBPS?? Do you actually see 50mbps while downloading or uploading? If yes, I would like to see some proof like a screenshot where a big file is getting downloaded on Google Chrome and the speed is showing 50MB/S. FYI, there's a huge difference between speed on a speedtest app and in real life usage. I have never noticed any speed difference in between PE and MIUI in real world. Maybe that's because I don't believe in fake results on SpeedTest apps.

Um... I didn't write MBps.... I wrote Mbps and those two units are not same... 50-70Mbps is equivalent to approx. 6-9MBps download speed. Well, to show the proof, I need to reflash MIUI again which I don't want it for now. I tried downloading any apps, files, movies, music... etc on Opera, Chrome, Firefox in all custom ROMs. All were shown to 500-600KBps download speed. I'm currently on Havoc OS.

Can be a possibility of not getting Carrier Aggregation (4g+ or 4G LTE CA) problem on custom roms? Do you see 4g+ on custom roms? I'm on custom rom and getting 70-80Mbps (7-8MB) download speed .
@Rowdyy Ronnie not sure if you thought OP meant 50-70MBPS or 50-70mbps but I'm easily getting above 70Mbps (7MBps+ download speed) on 4G in India with JIO. Probably poco is the only phone which gives me best 4g speed as compared to other phones I use. This is why my JIO number is always in Poco phone.

No, I don't see any 4G+ or 4G LTE CA in any custom ROMs and it is same with MIUI because it also shows 4G, yet in MIUI I get far better download speed... I'm quite confused... Maybe (hopefully) will something change when we switch carrier, though I highly doubt it will change anything.

Brother, at the lineageOs is written that It enables a lot of new bands(LTE). Do you know if this is true ?
I was having this issue in mind to talk about and good to see I'm not alone. I have tried hell lot of ROM, Kernels and almost all beta vendors+firmware combinations sometimes on recommendations of others as well. For example people say all 9.4.* ven+fw are bad for LTE speed.
I would like to know if you have tried latest Stable ven+fw for your existing custom ROM, this would not always match MIUI LTE speed, but will be close enough. Try this - https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/beryllium-V10.3.5.0.PEJMIXM-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip - specifically and update with a test results.
Also, LTE Discovery (a root app from Play Store) helps knowing in what cell tower you are connected to and if the behavior of speed depends on that. The strength of signal and direction of cell tower are to be noted.

I don't know if it is true, I'm not from USA, so I don't know whether unlocked bands work or not.
@vijay-in I have been using beryllium-9.6.3-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip. I also tried all different vendors, sadly no avail... I will try this vendor though I doubt it does any changes regarding LTE speed because LTE speed worked in MIUI regardless of vendor versions. Going to try that vendor you posted. And I'm using latest Havoc OS.
Edit: no changes. I'm using beryllium-V10.3.5.0.PEJMIXM-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip and nothing changed

From the screenshot, the phone is connected to band 3/1800 Mhz frequency which offers less speeds. The values of RP/NR are also low which means you're in low coverage zone. In my country, this band max output speed is 18Mbps. I don't think you will get 50-70Mbps in this band anyway.
Here's an easier explanation of how this works:
Best coverage: Band 5 > Band 3 > Band 40.
Best speed: Band 40 > Band 3 > Band 5
Check atleast 1-2 times a day to see if it latches to B40 which would give you maximum speeds on LTE/4G. Every country has it's own bands so you have to check yourself which band your operator offers to you. The above example is from my country network operators.
In case you want to test why you get more speeds on miui, flash back miui and check which band the phone gets connected. There can be plenty of reasons for low speeds on custom roms, may be it's related to vendor, network issues, signal at that time, band connectivity etc. It's not easy to find out an answer as to why you get low speeds on custom roms but it's not like custom roms provide low speeds on lte, I'm getting same speeds on both custom and miui roms.

I am using OxygenOS port from 6T beta, and the stable vendor has changed things regarding LTE certainly, I was getting maximum 10Mbit on Band40, but now it goes up to 30Mbit sometimes +.
I see you are in Band 3 (1800) coverage which has the worst bandwidth 5MHz instead of 20MHz (at some places 10MHz) of Band 40 (2300) and 10MHz of Band 5 (850). Ideally as mentioned in other comments, Band 3 should be faster than Band 5, but not in case of Jio at most places. The bandwidth is very less and Band 3 ensures you get pathetic speeds.
Try moving to the part of your house and find the spot where you get Band 40 (or Band 5) and try speedtest. I have identified some spots in my house where I get 30Mbit and when I have to download in GB, I get there and fire You can use LTE Discovery from Play Store as I mentioned in last post also.
Edit: No offence to anyone, but in my opinion locking band using Network Signal Guru may prove to be disastrous sometimes and you can be without network in some places when you need the most.

I don't see difference at all except LTE speed.... I'm seriously baffled... I probably can live with 600KB/s download using custom rom. Way weird bug or my phone is haunted to the hell...
Edit: I took this screenshot on same spot while testing the speed. Here where I'm sitting right now, I get full LTE speed on MIUI, on other hand with custom ROM, I get mere 600KB/s...

That's weird for sure If this is same with all custom roms, there is something wrong with either all of them or the stock MIUI
You have 20MHz bandwidth in Band 3 which is different from what we have here, so my previous answer was incorrect. So, you have a strong and fast Band 3. Probably it is the best in your country and has nothing to do with difference in results.
I am sorry that there is nothing much one can suggest, though I sincerely hope someone would help you with this. One thing you can try is, flash many popular custom roms over weekends and see if anyone can come near that speed, difference of this fold is quite unbelievable.

Do you think there is something in AOSP because all custom ROMs are based on AOSP and (just loud thinking) I assume devs didn't add any files in AOSP or something for Europe to boost LTE speed? Though I'm not really sure but I know that MIUI has something that gives a full LTE speed while custom ROMs "restricting" LTE speed because in all custom ROM, I get 500-600KB/s, no more, no less... I'm sadly not a programmer/coder so I cannot investigate it myself...
I see you have used multiple vendor+firmware beta/stable and have had same results, but I still think it is related to modem firmware, though I maybe absolutely wrong and it is not logical as well.
As you have nothing to loose, please try a really older firmware which is known for not having speed bug. Just firmware, not vendor.
Go to ip dev's GDrive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zGc3v1ahsN2dpkPppNAJJMDHKl8jnQmj go to xfiles and download POCOF1Global_9.3.28-firm.zip (91MB)., this has only firmware which could be flashed in TWRP.
See if this helps. You can also try latest stock MIUI kernel from same gdrive - kernel-beryllium_global_V10.3.5.0-ak3.zip - on Custom ROM and see if that makes any changes.

I tested both and it became more weird again... xD Speed increased by mere 100KB/s but... Youtube app doesn't play at 1080p and it buffers way badly than on previous build... :/
May I ask how is the Oxygen OS? I would like to try it out as well.

Strange things happening with your LTE
Newer 7pro ports are kind of pre-alpha and have bugs. OOS 6T Beta 10 was the last in that branch of development, which I use as daily driver, it is best per my opinion after trying lots of roms, especially if you play games. You can definitely try it if it resolves your LTE issues.
The dev has taken down links, but I have it mirrored for myself http://dl.vj.lc/Poco-OOS/ Flash OOS zip only, it has vendor included. Test it that way.
Later on, update to newest vendor and flash vendor_patch.zip. Whenever you flash new vendor don't forget to flash vendor_patch. Latest is now 9.6.18.
