I no internet speed mainley depends on location/isp but what rom if any would help provide the fastest possible speeds for internet? Im curently on cwm 3 and viper rom

Yeah I don't think there is any way to boost the speed of your internet connection beyond it's stock configuration via a rom (as in, you can not go from downloading 1mb/sec to 5mb/sec). But, you may be able to boost the speed at which web pages are loaded by overclocking the cpu or reducing the amount of crap loaded onto the phone's disk drive.
exactly , the speed is determined by the tower your on, check wifi and see if the speeds are better
I read where some people were having problems with slow Internet speeds and it was because of some Ad routine that is slowing the Internet. Try downloading Adfree from the market and it might help you. This problem I'm talking about was discovered by reading catlogs.

rooted evo running baked snack rom...wireless tether speed is between 0.2-0.4 this is ridiculously slow..can anyone help me out ? why is it so slow ? i really need this function and is the sole reason i rooted. anyone else come across this or know how to fix ? ive tried searching but couldnt find a solution. thanks
are you sure thats speed & not amount of data transferred? if you do not believe this to be true, can you post a screenshot of a speedtest.net showing this tremendously slow speed?

No, it wouldn't be, and you'd probably get pegged for something. I'd just stick with the wireless tether app. It works just fine for me, make sure you're running the latest version, or try a previous version. I'd stay clear of the hotspot if you're not paying for it. If you run Cyanogen mod though, you can use the deafult Android 2.2 hotspot app for free.
Hi, I'm having this odd issue. I've heard of everyone complain about slow data 3g speeds and mine seem to be normal, im getting around 1 mbps, however there is a delay in getting data transferred every since I switched in EB13. For example, when I go use the browser, I have my homepage set as Google and it'll take around 10 seconds for it to start transferring the data and then display Google. It also does this on apps, i'll have to wait for the transfer to start. I've tried reset via stock recovery, updating profile and prl, going in ##3283 and changing some things.
Any ideas? Is the modem just that bad?
anyone? it'd be gladly appreciated
maybe its bad DNS? Is there anyway to change that for the 3g on the Epic?
Having the same problem, hope all fix is on the way.

where are you located in in case it's a network issue?
same problem.
I'm having the same issue. In Knoxville, TN right now and I get 5-6 bars on 3g. Full signal in the house on a wireless G network. It happens on both.
I'm on EB13 with Supernova rom and Genocide oc/uv kernel. So there's some customization there. I can't remember, but I did flash a bunch of eb13 roms/kernels and beieve I got the same effect for all of them.
The only thing I've found is this "data lag" on occurs when the CPU is at max in set cpu. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing the cpu to run at BOTH the highest frequency (1Mhz or 1.2Mhz, whichever I hav set) AND 100% cpu load as depicted in various apps. I've killed everything and it still stays at full cpu load, and that's when the browser, emails, messenger, anything that sends/receives data goes wonky.
I may have found a brief workaround. When sending a message, the message send icon may hang for 30 seconds to 1 minute for me when this happens. If I hit home and go back into the messenger app a few times, it seems to speed up the process. I'm not sure but perhaps it's forcing the cpu to focus on sending that message for just long enough to send it.

Update: Odined back to DK28 Modem and flashed ViperROM Trinity (DK28) to see if that fixes the data transfer issues.
I just have stock eb13. This is really frustrating. I'm not familiar with odin or anything like that and explaining this issue to sprint is hopeless

Update: there is no delay with wifi. Only 3g and 4g. Does that rule out the modem?

In Denver, Co... I am also having the same issue... my ping rate at times is over 300, and anytime I use 3g it takes a good 10-15 seconds to even start data transfer. Didn't have this issue before eb13, ad didn't have I w/ eb13 from samsung website (though I had othr issues) didn't start until after sprint "fixed" my phone....

I'm a little confused towards the end? You updated via samsungs website? I did too.
What did Sprint do to "Fix" your phone?
May be a dumb question, but have you all tried updating the PRL in settings since updating?
An update on my situation:
I'm running same as before, but since ViperROM is compatible with both the DK28 and EB13 modems, I left everything identical other than the DK28 modem. I no longer have any data lag whatsoever, and my CPU is running fine. No more max frequency clock and max cpu load.

Oh my god, i am so happy someone brought up this issue. let me tell you my story:
i had my epic for 28 days. Ive been noticing the data "hangs" all the time. things like kik messenger time out, market says loading forever and times out, all kinds of issues, 20% of the time, the other 80% the data is snappy and works fine.... Well on the 28th day, i was pissed. i unrooted my phone, reflashed it with stock eb13, brought it to the sprint store and told them i want a new phone because this one is defective, i told them i had it on 2.1 and now on 2.2 i got a brand new epic 2 days ago, and im noticing the same thing, it doesnt seem as bad but what the F*** is going on with the data? I never updated this one to the eb13 because i dont like being rom-less. and wanted to wait for the new bonsai rom eb13 build. I am currently running bonsai 2.0.1 with the OC kernal and gingerbread theme on dk28, only other thing i got on is no battery complete sounds. i even deleted things like screebl and juice defender thinking maybe it was that. i dont know what the problem is...
Okay this is weird. I just noticed that there is no lag in data transfer when using the xda app and when zooming into a map on Google naps you've never opened before. Its like certain things have priority?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've noticed that ever snce going o dk28 for the first time.
I'm used to it so it doesn't annoy me as much any more, but it sucks tapping something and seeing the reaction 10 seconds later.......
I blame it on the sprint ping.
This also happens on wifi sometimes, but I blame that on the router and internet over here...can't wait till I'm home in nyc so I can really test out eb13 in 3g and 4g

It was happening on wifi, yes, or it wouln't have been THAT big of an issue for me, hahah. And it only happened when cpu load was at 100%. If anyone wants to see if this does parallel the "data hangs," I believe there's a free app on the market called process manager that will show you cpu load. Try it out and let us know. If this is the case, it really would be an issue of system process priority like mentioned by Samsuck.
Can you provide exact name of the app? Is it Process Manager lite? Let me try and I'll let you know what happens.
Edit: okay, i don't think that app was it.
I have watchdog. lol it says 20 percent CPU usage
Let me start out with apologies as I would guess this topic has already been covered, but search is not turning up an answer.
When I connect via WiFi tether, or easy tether, any download on the PC seems to cap around 140kbs, with an average DL speed somewhere around 65kbs. When I run a speedtest I come out around 2000kbs for both up and down. Does anyone know how to improve the actual DL speed through tether or what the limiting factor is here?
To cover some of the basics, I am running 2.2 with the most current versions if WiFi tether & easy tether, and tethering to OSX 10.5.

Same problem here on HTC Incredible. Here is another thread with some discussion. Would love to figure out what is going on here. I even get the same crap speed on Wired Tether.

Troy, nice link, thanks for that.
I found, through research online and experimenting, that 2.2 does not tether well and most seem to have poor download speeds. I upgraded to 2.3 (Cyan) and I am now downloading at around 300kbs. Even though it is not the 2000kbs I get through DSLspeedtests, it will suffice for watching shows, etc.

Hey Troy, I followed your instructions and everything works through proxy, my download speed is improved, but still only an average of 150kbs, using 2.2 or 2.3. It seems that my 300kbs bit was a one-time thing. Do you have any suggestions to get the speeds you are getting on downloads?
I can't thank you enough!!!

I have been searching for a solution for this for a couple months now! I was getting 25-30kbps (yes, kbps) while using WiFi tether over 4G on 2 different laptops. I loaded up filterproxy on my phone and changed the proxy settings on my laptop... speedtest reported 1.7mbps on my first test!!!
Im useing the epic 4g touch, I'm rooted on the strongsteve rom. BTW,this rom is freaking sic man,I LOVE,this rom!!!!! Formally the new senzesation wich was very neat and fast.
Any how,im tryin to hook up a ps3 and the strongsteve rom does have the hotspot hack.so it works great. Im getting a nat3 and it wont let me play with other people. HOW can i get to nat2? Has anyone found a way around this? Ive searched high and low. To no avail. Look at my post count. I found out how to root and flash just from reading this site and acs. So i do my homework before i post. Thanx in advance guys
Nat 3 refers to Wireless with a bad connection.
I'd recommend getting Wireless tether and not using the sprint hotspot hack. I believe wireless tether is in the market, but if it's not you can easily find an APK.
Also, I'm not accusing you in anyway, shape, or form. But a lot of idiots can root their phone (I'm not calling you dumb or anything),, and never stop bugging rom devs.

Tried static IP address on ps3? Maybe the limited connection is DNS issue.

I do not use a custom rom. I'm rooted with stock EL29, and Rouge recovery. I also have the ACS AIO mod isntalled (which includes Sprint hotspot mod). I've used this to tether to my laptop and share connection to my Xbox, without any NAT issues.
I'd imagine if that method works for me, then the same setup (minus the laptop as a bridge) would work even better for you on the PS3.

Even if you manage to get to NAT2 the ping times are going to be very high - over 100ms, probably around 130ms or higher. If you're fine with say, shooting at someone and finding out they were 10 feet to the right the entire time then go for it. Otherwise get REAL internet.
As said before, try setting a static IP for your PS3 or using the USB tether function, that might get you to NAT2. Also get something like Droidwall and firewall all programs while tethering. Turn off background data and sync also. Lastly, you might try this and see if it helps also. That's all I got.
Yea, good luck playing a high end video game online with your 3g/4g connection.. It works, but lags. As suggested already, use wifi tether or another tether app and use it wired, not the hotspot or wireless tether. And wouldnt recommend online gaming lol unless you want your scores to drop

What this guy said is very true. 3G is not good for online gaming, especially when the game is unoptimized and expects a broadband connection. I tried playing Quake 3 on my phone over 3g once. It lagged to all hell. The only way to play was to install the dreamcast dialup optimizations.
This is such a terrible idea lol. "Hey guys I'm gonna go play Gears of War over 3G." Lagfest waiting to happen.
3g sucks for online gaming lol. However I played over 4g before and the connection was pretty stable and playable!

Yeah I get better internet speeds over WiMax than I do with my :"15mbps" internet at home. Just the ping was way higher, which is really what matters in most online video games.

This is my Orignal post:
I do have a slight problem that I have not been able to find a solution for. When I am at work I have wifi calling on all the time because I don't get good cell reception. We have hundreds of access points all of them overlay one another so students don't loose Wireless connection. When I move around and switch from one access point to another the wifi calling just stops or tries to connect to the access point it originally connected to. Now I find this odd because I have set these access points up like I explain above so they overlay just so this would not happen. Now when I was on Stock ICS non rooted the Wifi calling didn't drop at all. I doubt you can test this but I am hoping you can point me in the right direction on how to resolve this issue.
A person wrote back to me and said this
(My guess is that it has something to do with how the rom polls for new access points. Polling may be set low to reduce battery consumption and causing problems for you because of it)
Which makes sense I am wondering if there is a easy tool or a app to check this out
I can't even get WiFi calling to be stable on ONE access point....
