anyone tested their phone with sunspider?

just out of curiousity, I tested my phone wiht Sunspider benchmark and I got really really bad score.
I got around 132171.8ms.
This is terrible score considering that all other mobile phones are getting much higher score.
The test is done with mobile opera 9.5 and my wifi network.
Can someone else who got the phone or other winmo phone test their speed. Just want to know if it's just me or it's the phone.

Sunspider is a Java test. If you're trying to test your internet speed, www.mobilespeedtest.com is a better way.

thanks for the reply. No, I was not trying to test the internet speed but rather the system performance. The score is so much lower than other handsets that I saw online. And it's not just a bit lower but big difference. So, I am just curious what's up with the phone. This may explain why tilt 2 is always so slow.

Java isn't used for much on the Tilt 2.

Actually I firmly believe that the link you've provided provides bogus results and is just a way to make money from advertising, ie Web Hosting.
I know for sure that my network limits me to 384kbps, I have been arguing with them about it, but this site regularly shows my download speed to be far in excess of this.
I think you'll find http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 provides far more accurate results. Either that or tether to a real computer and use http://www.speedtest.net
Sorry, this isn't really related to the first post but it winds me up seeing all of these mobilespeedtest results in peoples sigs.

Not sure what you're talking about. The only ads I see are Google ads and these are random generated. I don't even look at the numbers instead preferring the comparison graphs to the different types of services. The biggest thing is it always works whereas DSL Reports tends to be flaky on a PPC or just to busy. On the PC, DSL Reports is my first choice.

I have an ongoing dispute with my network where they have limited my down speed to 384kbps, or 3G when I have full bars HSDPA. A few years ago I'd be getting ~1500. My argument's their service is going backwards while theirs is they want more money from me for the faster speed. They also block port 21 which is annoying but I use sFTP to beat that.
Anyway my point is that they have admitted to me that the maximum bandwidth I can get with full HSDPA is 384kbps. dslreport has never given me a number above this whilst sometimes it's a little less, as you'd expect. mobilespeedtest gives me results all over the place, 300, 700, 3000 ...
These results cannot be correct. My network says that I am limited and I am. If I tether to my laptop and go to speedtest.net I get the same results as with dslreport. Laughably Speedtest.net sometimes gives my up speed faster than my down as the network obviously hasn't limited it.
I don't know what mobilespeedtest is trying to achieve but it's not, I think, measuring bandwidth.
Edit : The advert on mobilespeedtest is always for the same web hosting company - which is not your standard random Google Ad

Is this the Samsung Taylor?

Can Sprint blackball your bandwidth?

I have no idea what is going on, but my 3G speeds have gone to ****. I've tried everything to get them back... I just don't get it...
This is with 2 'coverage' bars on CM6...

How long ago were you getting good speeds? Because it could just be the Sprint network, because they have gotten a lot of new people because of the new phones to come out, and that could be the cause.

I've had my phone since Aug 11th... So almost a month and a half... My speeds have just got worse and worse as time has gone on... Maybe the network is overloaded, I don't know... but man it sucks.

Try rebooting. I was having that same issue some weeks back. I was hitting > 14.4kbps on 3g and 3.2mbps on 4g. I did a quick restart and 3g shot back up to 600ish kbps.

sometimes this is the case, not just the evo, but having to reboot the wife's hero also.

I notice that at night my speeds drop dramatically. I can play youtube vids in the day time without any stutter but once it's about 8pm the numbers on speedtest drop and I have constant buffering. I don't know if it's because everyone is home and bandwith is being used a little heavier or if sprint automatically drops the bandwith at night.

I've tried rebooting multiple times with no luck... looks like I'm either being capped or in high usage area...

your ping is pretty terrible too - did you try other servers?

My 3G got really bad right before the unofficial launch of 4G here. Not quite as low as what you show, but BAD compared to what it was.

Welcome to Sprint, mine is exactly the same. I can rarely get over 500 kbps at night but can usually get 1 mbps or better during the day. The weird one is that at night my upload speed is almost always higher then my download speeds.
Night before last I noticed my browser was unusually sluggish so I did a speed test. Download was 39 kbps upload was 150 kbps, did a test the following morning and it was 1101 kbps down and 550 kbps up.
This is in a very rural area, so I seriously doubt if the tower I am connecting to is getting overwhelmed with bandwidth usage.

Haha, I can hope my man...

Wow, yeah that's pretty bad. I am getting 960Kbps (1040 max) down and 88Kbps (158 max) up speed on one bar (-89dBm)... ran Speedtest right now to check what I'm getting.
Stuff might very well be congested over there, although one way to for-sure rule out bandwidth capping is are you doing anything to cause them to cap your bandwidth?

I'm consistently hitting right around 400 kbs down and 800 kbs up, the only time I hit higher is when I'm roaming then it's 1 mb down.

Not that I can think of.. I use my phone a lot, but it's not like I'm browsing torrents or anything... Most of my bandwidth is probably youtube and ROM downloads...

Does the rom you run have any affect on 3G speeds? I've been running CM6 forever though basically...

I'm on CM6, the 9/19 nightly I think (or 9/20 I can't remember). I don't think it has any affect on 3G speeds. I flashed the latest radio and PRI if that makes a difference (didn't notice one).

[Q] Charter 100mb and Nexus...something not right??

Ok, I have charters 100mb service at home with has a Belkin N150 router hooked up to it...I do lots of speed tests and rarely will I get over 25mb on my speed tests...Usually between 20-25. Shouldn't I be getting alot more than that? I realize I loose some speed going thru the router, but that much? Is there anything I can do to improve? Does this sound normal to you guys? Many thanks
P.S. The speed test numbers are done from my galaxy nexus

Depends on what else is using your internet
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Usually its just my phone and my galaxy 10.1 tab, but they are never online at the same time.

I read somewhere on here that the wifi on the GNexus is not that great and wasn't all that fast, the LTE is usually faster. I may be wrong.

Do you live in a large apartment building with extremely crowded wifi channels? I know that my Gnex gets about 7 Mbps (36 Cable connection) on 2.4 GHz because it's so crowded. When I switch the router to 5 GHz it gets about 34 Mbps because those channels are empty.

I have 35/35 fios that actually hits 42/30 on the every single computer and laptop at home. I have NEVER gotten higher then 29 on my phone and like the OP I usually only get 20-25. Buff McBig (great name btw) What do get on speedtest with your phone on wifi can you post a screen?

Apparently I exaggerated because I can only average 29 or 30 and max at 32. That is with 3 devices all samsung. The others are gtab 10.1 and sprint gs2. My transformer prime can't connect to 5ghz.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

every mobbile device is basically limited by its hardware, memory/cpu and throughput bottleneck. you cant get much higher than 30Mbps on the nexus as it's hitting hardware limits due to a mobile device.
thru the generations speedtest results have gone up though.

Is Speedtest.net app accurate for Galaxy Nexus?

I just bought the galaxy nexus coming from sgs2 t989. After running speed tests, it says I have extremely low speeds over the air & wifi but when using the phone with data, it doesn't seem slower. Got 6gb/sec OTA & 12 wifi where on sgs2 12 gb/sec OTA & 20+ wifi....
Just wondering if anyone knows if speedtest.net app is accurate per your experiences?

Its as "accurate" as any speedtest can be. Its not exactly indicative of how fast data actually flows in real-world use.
Keep in mind that the T-Mo branded SGSII has a 42mbps HSPA+ radio, whereas the GNex has a 21mbps HSPA+ radio. Speeds will differ. As for WiFi, I'd say that's just a coincidence, speeds should be ~the same.

It seems to glitch sometimes with the GN and only measure DL speeds for a split second before stopping, I was able to fix it by changing servers though.

It should be 100% accurate. It's feeding you your actual speeds. It's just that HSPA+ isn't as consistent as LTE or other technologies. I usually get a consistent speed of about 20mbps with 2 bars outside.

Thanks for the input! Its as fast as I need it to be so I'm fine with what I am getting either way. Would be nice to be able to do some surgery & make a hybrid of the two phones tho... haha
The nexus def looks and operates much better than sgs2.

I noticed something similar. It jumped to about 3mbs which is sadly typical for the tower closest to my house, stayed there for about a second then dropped to 500kbs for the rest of the dl test, but in real use it is typical of my sgs2 which test around 3mbs

Has anyone else noticed that the bandwidth graphs (where it shows the spikes and how consistent the connection is) on both sides of the actual current bandwidth readout (near the bottom directly below the gauge) don't work most of the time? I'm not sure if it's an issue with ICS or what, but usually it's just a white blur that kind of moves around as the test runs. I've only actually seen the lines on the graph a few times since I've had my Nexus. Pretty sure it always worked good stock, but on most custom ROMs, it doesn't show the lines on the app. Sometimes it does, but not usually. I've played around with the options to see if it fixes it and it doesn't.

I see the graph every time. Turn off 2d hardware cause that breaks the speed test graph.

What do you mean by turn off 2d hardware? I don't see that as an option

I turn the 'animations' slider all the way to better performance and seem to avoid the glitching issue with it.

He means turn off "force GPU rendering" in developer options.

Yeah force hardware acceleration is known to break the speed test graph. But I guess that's not your issue if you didn't know about that setting in the first place.

Testing WiFi. The "Back-Touch" Issue, and Throughput

I started this thread to see whether this WiFi back touch problem is a universal problem among Oneplus 3 devices. I need feedback from as many people as possible, so please feel free to post your findings.
//EDIT. While we're at it, let's also test throughput in general, as that seems to be a separate issue altogether. Do note that I'm not looking for opinions like "it's good" or "it's bad" but actual results; numbers.//
What is it? Some users have reported that upon touching the upper back of the phone with your bare hands, WiFi speeds are notably reduced. Using a case so you don't touch the back bare handed seems to solve it.
I want to take a scientific approach to this, if I may call it that. This will involve copying files from the phone to a computer over local network, to avoid isp bottlenecks. But first:
1. Make sure you are close to the router, direct line of sight, with full WiFi signal on your phone.
2. Make sure no one else on your local network is bottlenecking your speeds.
3. Get yourself a nice big file on your phone. A single 2GB file or larger sounds good.
4. Get yourself some way to track time.
5. Find a way to copy files over local network. Ftp using ES file Explorer is one method.
The actual test is simple.
1. Copy the file to your computer and record the time it takes to finish the transfer.
2. Divide the size of the file (in MB) by the time (seconds).
3. Repeat this 2 or 3 times while touching the upper back of the phone, and another 2 or 3 times without touching the phone at all.
4. Post your findings, along with your phone model, kernel and rom please.

I made a test pretty close to a router. I created a 2GB file to my server just for this test. (Linux command: fallocate -l 2G wifitest.img)
The copying from ftp server took 67 seconds, no matter how I kept my hands. The speed obviously changes if signal strength drops. Rather than comparing speeds, a signal strength measuring would give more usefull results.
2000MB/67s=29,85MB/s.
My phone is 3003 and rom is rooted OxygenOS 3.24 with default kernel. I would like to see other results as well as I'm wondering what would be the maximum wifi speed for Oneplus 3. (My Galaxy Note 10.1 gets pretty much the same speed results as OP3.) I would like to get a good reason for upgrading my TP-Link Arcer 7 V2.

Thanks for the feedback. You said "no matter how I kept my hands" though... Did you also test speeds without touching the device (during the transfer)?
While looking at signal strength would be enough to determine whether the back-touch issue is real or not, I'd also like to see how bad the effect is. This needs numbers
I'm getting my Oneplus 3 in about a week, and I'll post my results too.

I will be waiting your results. In the meanwhile I will do some more testing. I tested the phone on the table and it was pretty much the same as the last results. Later on I will do some measurements how grip effects signal strength and speed in a next room or something.
I've noticed that file copying over samba is very slow on all android devices. Speeds are about 4-8MB/s. FTP is much faster. I would like to test NFS protocol on Android. I use it in my Linux network and I have read that it is faster than samba on Android as well. It's just difficult to get it working on android as android kernels usually don't have nfs client build in.

I'd be interested in the distance (through wall) test. There are loads of different stories out there. One guy got 2-5 mbps with just a single wall in between. Others got 300 mbps (faster than your transfer speeds!) one floor apart. I am planning to test this too.
That is one useful piece of info right there. I didn't know about the difference in speed from different transfer protocols. Not exactly the point of this thread, but hell, feel free to post it haha.
One more thought. How about testing the back-touch issue and throughput with 5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz?

OK, I tested my OP3 about 8 meters away from router. In between was one wall with book shelve and in the other room wardrobe between. 5GHz results:
Phone on the bed: 103s. (2000MB/103s=19,4MB/s)
Phone on fingertips: 107s (2000MB/107s=18,7MB/s)
"Death grip": 240s (2000MB/240s=14,3MB/s)
I will test 2,4GHz next time when I have a moment. I guess it's going to bee around 60mbps. Btw. 300mb/s is 37,5MB/s and it really is significantly faster than my results. Was it over internet or lan?

Speedtest.com as you can see. So it's internet. Pretty darn fast. I am on a relatively sad 5 mbps. Although I am content with that speed.

Got my phone back from RMA today. Apparently they've found a faulty motherboard and replaced it. Can't say the problems are solved however, but I have upgraded my internet from 50mbps to 150mbps. I only reach around 1-10mbps. It's better than previously, but considering that it was repaired and that the speed I receive has tripled, I'm not really happy.
Could it be a problem with the router I connect to? It's a Sitecom X5 N600 (one floor below me) that is connected by cable to a Cisco EPC3925 on the ground floor. Speed when connected to the Sitecom router is pretty much the same as when I connect to the Cisco modem which is twice as far away. Both are quite unstable from what I've seen these past minutes.
My Mi2 seems to struggle as well right now, so I think I'm going to keep researching this issue and contact Sitecom.

It sounds like a router issue, especially if the speeds are similar with two different devices. My OP3 and my old Note 3 and Note 10.1 tablet all have a throughput of around 50-70Mbps in 2,4GHz wifi.
I did some throughput testing, 2,4GHz wifi and downloading 1GB file from my ftp server:
Phone on the table: 164s. (1000MB/164s=6,1MB/s) (1 meter away from the router)
The speed seems to bee the same with antenna death grip as well. I will do more testing father away from the router later on.

Unless OnePlus is silly enough to give a faulty unit to the same person twice, I'd say the issue lies elsewhere. Not just that, if different devices have problems, that is a pretty big tell that it is your router at fault here. Not that I know anything about your router though. But to top it all off, the Cisco router performs better? I don't see how it can be anything BUT your router at this point haha.
Btw, if you go far enough, any router (such as your Cisco) will be unstable. Remember,smartphones are smaller devices, meaning have smaller antennas, than other devices such as laptops. You can expect signal to become worse with distance faster with phones than with laptops.
Could you test your internet speeds now, while standing next to your router? Let's see how much of a difference it makes compared to before RMA. And perhaps check again if you got the back-issue described in the OP?

Here you go:
Phone on top of modem:
43.69 down connected to modem
7.59 down connected to router
Phone on top of router:
42.45 down connected to modem
5.91 down connected to router
Pretty sure it's an issue with the router at this point. Perhaps it's time for another RMA :silly:

I did some testing with CM based Resurrection Remix rom. The test environment was the same. Phone and router were exactly where they were in my last test with OOS 3.2.4.
1 meter away from the router, 5GHz wifi:
Phone on the table: 2000MB/69s=29MB/s
Phone at fingertips: 2000MB/66s=30,3MB/s
(Didn't test the death grip as I was so close to the router)
8m distance between phone and router:
Phone at fingertips: 2000MB/103s=19,4MB/s
On the bed: 2000MB/328s=6,1MB/s (2,4GHz)
I repeated the test multiple times and phone dropped to 2,4GHz every time during the transfer.
