Sever speed drop on WiFi VS. other PC's on same networks - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I know that we are not talking about a full fledged PC but there is a pretty big speed difference in the downlink speeds between my home PC and my Evo on Wi-Fi:
Home PC:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Evo on same WiFi network:
Can't figure out why the big speed difference. Anywhere from almost a quarter to a tenth of the speed of my PC. Just wondering.
On a note, it might be worth mentioning I movied around the house and the phsycial position of hte phone relative to the router did not seem to make a difference. Being 5 feet away was not any faster than being on the opposit end of the house.

I have the exact same problem. My phone goes 3mbps slower than a pc on the same network (down from 6mbps).

my laptop gets about 26mpb but the gets like 20mpb.. i dont see this as being bad at all..

Looks like you have cable. Maybe the speedboost isn't working for the Evo. You know with speedboost your internet connection isn't necessarily that fast its just something time warner does to give you temp high speeds. That's definitely not your sustained download speed.

I'm pretty happy. Linpack:

Running 1228.8 MHz without crashing, I'm glad I "lucked out" with my hardware. Normally run it at 1990.0 though. Prior to the latest snap kernel (I'm using v3) I wasn't able to stay in 1228 for more than an hour or so before it would randomly reboot.
Try running a neocore test...that'll give a real result...because fps is what really matters.
Off topic, but what do the sets of green and red signal bars in the upper left mean?

it's an app called real signals that show a more accurate reading of your signal strength. it's pretty cool, just need to now removed the stock signal bars.
FPS2D is 53
Consistent linpack scores of 44 to nearly 48
Neocore is only 32, is this awful? Seems awful.

[Q] Terrible 3G Download Speeds

Today I noticed my 3G speed has taken a huge hit. I am getting numbers that are absolutely terrible. I used to be able to stream YT videos with very little delay, load web pages fairly quick, etc. My 3g used to pull close to 1000kbps, sometimes more. I have been using WiFi alot over the past few weeks so I havent noticed this issue until now.
It seems like its only an issue with the download speed, upload seems fine. I was thinking about updating to the latest radios but there were people having issues after flashing them so I put those off. Should I do that anyways?
Is there anything else I can do to improve these speeds? I'm not sure what happened but my 3g download was never this bad.

I flashed the latest radios. It is doing slightly better (about 50-100kbs more). This is still very much slower than what it used to be able to pull. The market feels like its crawling for me.
Besides flashing radios, is there anything else I can do?
I am getting the same thing you guys are getting. My phone has been staying at 1x pretty much of the day. Thought it was the rom so I started all over again. Turns out it wasnt, so all that BS for nothing. I am the DFW area just FYI and I wonder if it an areal thing. But it does piss me oft!!!!!
I live in Southern Cali. I'm not on 1x though. My signal strength is where it normally is at too.

Wifi Shuts Off/Throttled While Screen Off

As the title says does anyone else have this issue with their GNex...I have the HSPA+ version on AOKP Build 21 with Franco Kernel 14.4 but whenever i have wifi connected and the screen shuts off...the connection gets super slow/shuts off even tho it still says on the phone its connected...Also i have the wifi sleep policy set to always on...but it still exhibits this behavior...only fix for it is to turn the screen on and then it ramps back up to normal speeds/useable...Case in point using Airdroid/Wifi Explorer Pro to transfer files...if you leave the screen on the transfer completes as it should however turn the screen off and watch the transfer slow to a crawl/fail..not sure if roms/kernels affect this but its rather annoying having to keep the screen on for this..im not sure if i'm the only one with this problem...if not lets find a fix.
Do you have power saver enabled in rom control?

I am having the same problem using AOKP w/ lean kernel. I am not using power saver and have my wifi set to always stay on and my speeds still slow way down. I have also used set cpu to keep my clock speeds high when the screen is off and get the same results. A fix would be nice!

[Q] 3G Dongle

Hello experts,
I Searched for it, but no answers. I have a external 3G dongle that i use in some cases, when I travel to visit a client for example. But I literary don't use it at home, and my Data Plan the speed are to slow, up to 300 kbps, and after downloading 10MB per day, it slow down to 50 kbps, yes it is slow!
As i have a 3g dongle at home, I've bought this connector:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I Connect the 3G dongle but nothing happened =/. I removed my sim card and let just the 3G, but nothing happened, I pressed the button search network operators and the blue light of 3G dongle turned on for 1 sec, and showed me all the operators. But I'm not able to use it as a modem.
I know that tablets are able to do it, but them don't have a 3G inside, so the setting are able to handle just 1 connection when you connect a 3G dongle you have just to enable the data on settings, but in our case if we enable it will use the sim's card data, not the 3G dongle.
There is a way to do it? how?
I'm using the stock rom, rooted.
Thanks in Advance!

Wifi and mobile data on at same time..?

I never saw this before. .
Connected to my wifi at work, and I got a picture message from my daughter... then the 3g and wifi were on at the same time.

Anyone...??

The pxt message comes through 3G that's why both your wifi and 3g are on at the same time.

3g is always running in the background when wifi is on but it will only notify you that its being used when you need that particular service. From what I understand voice calls are also placed through the 3g service but defaults to 2g when there strength of your 3g is not good enough.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers,
Evil.
^ That's my understanding if it as well.
Not all carriers will make the phone show data activity indicator when receiving mms, but I think it's very common.
