I got problem with my data connection. when I watch youtube and netflix or even download playstore, the internet speed always around more or less 500kbs even I have high signal. i tried also speedtest and i got high download speed. why is that happen?
You ran speedtest and you said you had high download speed. That means there is nothing wrong with your smartphone. More than likely Netflix and YouTube have very busy servers, slowing down your speed.
this is 5g using three uk

Hey guys I am loving my atrix so far, I upgraded from an HTC Evo. I am having one weird problem and I haven't seen anyone else post a similar issue. I connect to my wifi network fine. It uses WEP encryption and it's the standard FIOS router that verizon supplies. I never drop connection but when I download from the market it takes unusually long as if it isn't using my fast wifi connection. My GF who has the nexus s is connected to my network also downloads much faster off of the android market. It feels as if even though the atrix says I'm connected to my wifi network it is still using the 3g data speeds. I tested it with speedtest and i get 16000kbps down and 7000kbps up. It sure doesn't feel like it though. Anyone else having this same issue???
I am having this exact same issue! FIOS, Verizon's default router, WEP encryption, and the speeds are slow only in the Market.
I wonder what the problem is...
I just tried WPA2 encryption. Same exact problem. I'm getting speeds of around 250 kb/s, even though the speedtest.net app shows me getting around 2.5 mb/s.

That is my exact problem also. I wonder what is going on here.
I still haven't done anything to the phone like rooting it, so that can't be the issue.
Somebody did suggest I try changing the radio channel on my wifi router to 6 and 11, which did nothing to help the speeds.
It's strange that this is ONLY happening with the Market. Anything else internet-based works at regular speeds.
I wonder if this is only an issue with FIOS, or with the standard Verizon router? I'll be able to try out other wifi networks tomorrow.
Just curious, but have either of you with issues tried to push an app to your phone from the market website? It probably won't help, but worth a look.
Nope, just as slow as from the Market app.
Man, I have like 60+ apps to put on my Atrix. It'll take me hours to put it all back with these speeds. :\
Here's another problem: even on 4G, with a full signal, I load webpages with flash elements in seconds, but I download apps just as slowly as I do on wifi. It's like my Atrix is deliberately being capped, and ONLY with downloading apps, no matter what type of data connection I'm on.
If you use a different wireless network (something open and public) does the speed still seem slow?
Yes. 3G, 4G, wifi, it's always capped to around the same speed.
and again, it's ONLY downloading apps from the market. Absolutely nothing else.
Bandwidth usage while downloading a package from the market.
Bandwidth usage while streaming from youtube.
Monitoring done from my wireless router.
Did a bit of testing. Maybe some others can do the same to verify. I need to get ahold of my ISP because I am not getting my advertised speeds but download speeds from my computers were higher than my phone. I downloaded Astro File Manager and downloaded a .zip archive to the phone as well. Speeds did not seem throttled like they did when downloading from the market.
Just received the monster, same issue here!!
Using it in Germany. Very slow speed on my Wlan, sucks. I'll be anxiously following any news.
Could Google have purposely done this to the market?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11760852&postcount=7
someone try this and see if it works?
...actually, couldn't somebody just remove their SIM card and connect to the market with wifi? I've got a full body case with a screen protector on mine that I don't wanna screw up, but could somebody try that?
EDIT: Yeah, that didn't work.
Well just went back to ATT and got an exchange hoping that I just got a bum unit. Unfortunately same problem. On top of that I have noticed that my 3g data speeds are even slower now!! Speedtest will yield 500kbps down and 50kbps up WTF!!!
Replace it again. It's another defective unit. I've asked a bunch of people, and that's definitely the case.
Great. I checked the manufactured date on the phone in the store. 1/11/2011.
It was defective. Damn it.
So I'm basically playing roulette each time I exchange the phone.
I wish a firmware upgrade would fix the issues. I am in the same hell.
I just got around to downloading the speed test app to see how fast me x2 is and after the first test here is what I got:
Ping:19ms
Down:4989kbps
Up:703kbps
Now I dont know much but something tells me that up speed is a little low.
Im on cm7 with the Mash up script and wifi on.
Will the numbers be different if Im on 3G? Are these numbers even remotely good?
Many thanks to all!!
Apps aren't always accurate. I'm not sure what you meant will it be different if I'm on 3G? Wifi and 3G will always differ, wifi is much faster depending on your provider, where 3g can lag at times
On 3g I usually hit 3d and 1 up
Where wifi I'm like 25 down 8 up out there about.
SMILE It's Not Illegal Yet
Your ping time and up/down speeds can vary even when connected to the same tower or wifi network depending the congestion at any given time on the bandwidth provider's network, among other factors.
Your seemingly low upload speed could be attributed to other devices on the wifi network using the upload bandwidth allotted by the isp at the time you performed the speed test. It may also be the case the connection supplying the wifi network is 6Mbps down/1Mbps up. Your upload and download speeds while on wifi can only be as good as the connection from the isp regardless of the settings on your device or how many other devices are on the network.
For what it's worth, I have a Verizon 3G Network Extender plugged into my wireless router, meaning that both my WiFi and the Network Extender can only supply a connection that at best is only as fast as my cable modem's connection to Comcast. Eliminating all conflicting variables (e.g. no other devices on the network when running tests), my Droid X2's 3G upload and download speeds are consistently slower than when I'm on wifi.
19ms is a pretty good ping time, btw.
Lots of useful info. Thanks guys!

I have also been curious and suspicious of my 3g data speeds. When I was stock and rooted with 2.3.4 I would get on average 20-30 kilobytes/sec in my house with a poorer signnal of -87dbm this is using speed test and checking the down up speeds with the mobile network app that puts the speeds up on the notification bar. I used that to monitor downloads and web browsing speeds which agreed well with speed test. In a good coverage area -67dbm I achieved pretty consistently 130-230 kilobytes/sec. I am now running eclipse 2.0.4 with CMDA build.prop edit to increase 3g speeds. I ve only noticed a doubling of speed when in -87dbma area nut otherwise I cannot achieve anyhigher than 300 kilobytes/sec. I wonder could my radio be weak or bad? I thought 3g speeds would but up to ~500 or greater in really good coverage areas.

I never considered radio quality when I looked at my speeds. Exactly how one would go about checking ones radio quality is far beyond me. Its definitely something worth exploring (in my opinion)
Right I would also need to test other 3g speeds on a different phone on the same networko in the same area to rule out network end probs. Plus I got my DROID x2 used so that might be it there. Also if the radio heats up from persistent use that might reduce efficiency and lower speeds.
Those are fairly decent speeds. For a mobile device, that's about what I would expect. Your ping, 19ms, means that it takes .019 second to reach from your device to the Verizon servers, then to the servers of the sites you are accessing, and then finally back to your phone. Anything less than 80ms is considered good, so you have an excellent ping.
And to clarify, your upload speed will never be as high as your download speed. It's a throttling mechanism used by all (and I do mean all) internet providers of any kind to prevent things like hogging their bandwidth with torrents and the like. It's essentially an industry standard.
Running Speedtest just now and seeing I only get 9kbps download. I'm on the non-smartphone data plan and never noticed that my navigating or streaming was reflective of such a slow speed. Does that seem a little too slow? Or is it just me?
are you on edge or on 2g...?

I'm seeing either 3G or H+ indicated.
then there is something wrong with test with 3g you can atleast get 2Mbps....try to load hd video in youtube and see how it goes...
sgs2
Which carrier are you on?
Edit: Checking your last posts seems like you are with AT&T. (correct me if im wrong) 9kbps is definetely way too slow for AT&T. I usually get an average of 3-6Mbps download. Although it is possible the problem is the speedtest. Ive noticed that it sometimes even shows 0-10kbps in certain locations or times.
Issue started today. I got my phone a couple days ago and speeds were perfectly fine. When I turn off wifi and use my 4g lte, speeds are blazing fast. But to save on data bandwidth, I like to stay on wifi. When I'm downloading stuff from the playstore, my speeds are insanely slow. Browsing, youtube, streaming, everything else works at normal speeds on wifi. Speed tests are normal also.
Is this at work, or at home?
My wifi at home is actually faster than 4G.
If it's at work, it could be that your IT Department is doing traffic/packet shaping to the Google Play store. We don't even allow access to it on our internal network.
Might be the general WiFi disconnect/reconnect problem that a number of Galaxy S III owners are reporting on the boards, such as me.

ill have to wait to get off work to test the home wifi. but the problem is at work. no issues with throttling, cus i control the router settings at this place
worked fine yesterday, and today i noticed speeds are crippled. device connectivity isnt an issue.
Hello,
im running a rooted Oppo Find 7 with Android 4.3 and all is fine so far except i dont have a stable GPRS-Connection. I normally have a contract with the provider Netzclub, it serves 200MB Internet Traffic per month for free and i believe it should be HDSPA. The 200MB-Amount works without problems. But when i have eaten that amount i get throttled and when i run the ookla speedtest app then i get 0.06MB/s download and something slower upload. The problem is that the connection is very unstable. It downloads and the connection get lost. This means problems for all apps or browsers of course. So that i cant really use mobile internet when its throttled. Though i believe it should be useable when it only would be more stable. It would be slow though it would work.
Im throttled now. Starting from the fourth of this month i get the new contingent of 200MB. But till then i would like to test things. When i disable wlan and then enable ookla then i see it switching in the top from H to H+. I dont know if that makes sense for throttled internet. Starting it then it goes to H and back to H+. Surprisingly it runs through fine with results of 0.07mb/s down and 0.08 up now. The ping is fine too. Maybe because its so late at the nicht? I have 4 columns too so its a good connection. I start it again, it loads a bit, then stops. Switching H and H+ and so on. Then it claims "problems with network communication". Next time i click start and it doesnt start to download at all. Next time it runs through, next time it does stop somewhere in download.
At the end its very unreliable. It disturbs when running browser or apps. I already tried a lot apps that might better the connection but it doesnt look like any app could change it. I even tried the settings to not use 4G or 3G. Nothing helped. So is there a way to make this somehow more reliable and stop the connection drops? I only want a stable connection. It wouldnt matter so much that its slow when it would work at least.
Thanks!
