Can anybody tell me why my WLAN speeds are so slow !!........... Even when I am conected via a 2MB broadband router, I still only get a max speed of around 25kbps on media player. As for conecting to Radio 1 live, well forget it. It just will not conect. Can anyone assist me with this problem please..............
Thanks
Rob
Hi,
Not sure if this will help but maybe worth a try if you haven't already...
Try setting the 'power save' mode slider from its default of 'best battery to 'best performance' (click the wifi icon in the bottom right corner, then change to the settings tab).
Last night I could barely connect to any sites using my WiFi router (with 2mb ADSL), once I changed the setting it was significantly quicker (appeared to be almost broadband speed*).
* Granted, I havent done any bandwidth tests though.

I tried that already and it made little difference. I think all that will do is increase the power of the WiFi transmitter so that you get a better conection and can use it further from the router. My LAN Manager says that the signal strength is good right now. So its not realy an issue.
Here is a link for a band width speed tester. Its online so theres nothing to download and it works realy good.

OK I just ran a speed test myself at the web site I posted and here are the results.
Sitting in the Cradle: 402 Kbps
Out of Cradle on Med performance setting: 389 Kbps
Out of Cradle on Full Performance setting: 368 Kbps
So Like I said, very little difference there !!.
By the way, if your trying to run the speed test on the Blue Angel and cant find where the button is to start the test. When you see a small box apear with "Start a personal test" at the top and the description of test type you have selected in the middle. At the bottom of the box, you will see a blank section. Click on that !!!....... For some reason Mobile Internet explorer cant display the buttons correctly. Or at least it cant on mine anyway. but it does all work ok and you can do as many tests as you like for free !!!.
i noticed that sometimes my phone lags when swtiching to hsdpa ...for instance loading a attachment or on opera it would take a minute then swtich to the H and immediatly start downloading but it lags to swtich sometimes and sometimes even cuts out. Any way of fixing the lag or swtiching? So that i can have faster connect swtich times per say.

It could well be the network. Two things to be aware of:
- swapping between GSM/EDGE and UMTS+HSDPA requires the radio change modes. It's a bit like roaming to a whole different cell group.
- HSDPA is an extension to UMTS data, and is activated by the cell (if the client is capable) in very quick bursts, depending on the volume of traffic already queued for that client and on other users (I think I heard it was up to 10 users per channel). When things are busy you may not get any HSDPA at all. Or you may get it in short bursts that come and go quicker than the 'H' display is updated on your screen.
thats def true , ...but for some reason on my co workers phone he seems to connect quicker then me from my observations. Upon launching a program lets say mobi tv or any prgram requriing a higher speed connection where its avaible .My hangs for a minute then connects while his swtiches and connects almost isntantly. I was thinking if there are any mods regi edits persay to increase the swtiching code but guess thats not available.
Perhaps changing your network type from 'auto' to
'GSM 900+1800 , UMTS 2100'
or whichever your network uses. The device might be testing all frequencies when it is on auto??
thanks will try
try the new radio...143 that may help as well.
yea ima try 143 when i get home. I hate the delayed H. lol
In general browsing I notice a lot of people have dl/speeds in excess of 7-800Kb/s. I have only seen that speed once, and it was in an AT&T store. I am usually getting edge speeds (1-200Kb/s) even though I am for certain in a 3G area. Am I missing some magic bullet setting?
I have:
Hermes
Schap's 4.31 ROM WWE
Radio 1.10.x.x (gonna reflash that today to 1.54.x.x)
I have tried to use the isp.cingular connection; but, it appears that it has been disabled. Apparently, you have to have a tethering plan to use it.
Any help you can give would be most appreciated.
I have an 8525 from AT&T. I use the network configurator from CRC's 9.2 WM 6.1. I upgraded my radio to 1.54.30.10. I see very comporable speeds on 3G vs Wi-Fi on my cable internet connection. It uses the isp.cingular, I didn't notice a difference with wap.cingular. I do not use tethering, I don't even have the PDA plan, I use the MEdia Net unlimited for half the price. I had problems with the 3G on AT&T with WM 6.1 before upgrading the radio.
I don't know where I can speed test on my mobile, are you estimating speeds, or do you have a site that will test the speeds?
I test the speed using dslreports.com simple mobile speed test. Link to follow.
Just out of curiosity, would you post your connection settings for isp.cingular? I set it up the way I always have and it doesn't seem to work for me anymore. I have PDA personal express unlimited. So, I should be fine in the "what plan do you have dept."
AT&T Settings
Access Point Name (APN):
wap.cingular
or isp.cingular
User Name:
[email protected]
or [email protected]
(make sure if you use wap, use wap for both)
Make sure you caps the user name.
Password:
cingular1
You must set up a proxy server.
Check both boxes on proxy setup.
Server:
wireless.cingular.com
Click on advanced, make sure there is HTTP and socks have a server. They should do this automatically. HTTP server is wireless.cingular.com:80, socks is wireless.cingular.com:1080. The 80 and 1080 are the port numbers.
When I had problems with my connection whether I did auto or manual configs I still had issues until I upgraded my radio version. Once I did that I haven't had problems since.
Hope that helps.
ARGH THESE SETTINGS ARE WRONG.
I know people who work at AT&T, those settings are far outdated. Use the new ones!
wap.cingular, no username, no password, no domain, click advanced and enable IP Header compression.
The proxy server is OPTIONAL unless you want to use MEdiaNet features (like checking your minutes) in which case it is REQUIRED.
isp.cingular is being phased out. You will get the same speeds from wap.cingular.
arrghhh. The speeds okay now that I have flashed the new radio. But I still can't get youtube to work in HTC streaming media player. Just sits there connecting.
YouTube is AWESOME!
I just went to that speed test.
I got ~140 Kb/s with EDGE/GPRS
I got ~480 Kb/s with UMTS/HSDPA
I got ~1200 Kb/s with Wi-Fi via Cable internet.
I too could not figure out a way for YouTube to work. I tried everything I could find, TCMP, Falsh, not even the mobile youtube would work, when I was finally ready to give up I found this little gem.
It is a program that will querie YouTube for vidoes. You can download them to your phone (as .flv), or stream them. It doesn't go to YouTube, it just finds the videos. You can change the amout to bring you, and your buffer size. It gives you a description when you highlight the video, you can go to related videos. You can search by most watched/commented/rated, etc, or just type in a search and click the button, and away you go. I uploaded a video myself from my mobile phone, and searched for the video 10 minutes later, and was watching the video again on my mobile phone. This searches the real YouTube, not just the mobile version.
I have been struggling with this issue for weeks at a time since the beginning with AT&T here in Puerto Rico. I updated my phone to the new settings, (no username / password) something AT&T didn't notify me about, even in a text message , email, letter or anything (thanks to the XDA Developers!). I just did a dslreports.com test witht the HSDPA icon with 2-3 bars and got 64 kbps So lately I just been switching 3G OFF and using EDGE which I just tested at 187 kbps. I talked to an AT&T guy (yet again) on Saturday to open a ticket with their network guys, but we'll see what happens...
I'm too suing CRC's ROM and the new radio 1.54.30.10, but I had the issue with the offical 1.54.07.00 radio as well.
Streaming videos from mobile Youtube site no go!
So,, I only have WM6 not WM6.1,, and can't seem to get the videos playing on the streaming media player using 3G.. So is that a known thing? If so,, is that cab you just mentioned the best thing to use? I have Coreplayer which I think plays most files, but when I go to the Youtube mobile,,and click on video link, Streaming media player gets automatically associated,,tries to play video,,ends up saying"Failed to Find network".. I am sure that it should work if I am using Wifi,, but would like it to work on 3G..Thanks for anything else you might say about using that cab.
i'm based in ireland here on the 3 network,i have lost count of how many wm6 and wm6.1 roms i've flashed to my hermes ,yet every time the streaming and aspects of home page navigation are cripled or absent completely.
in the course of pulling out my hair/finding solutions i discovered that the user agent string is a vital if not THE vital component of PIE operation.
i used some cooked dll files and n95/spoof UA cabs with significant success.3 now support the kaiser so i'm using that ua on the hermes and find that mobile internet pretty much works as you'd expect with streaming etc.
i wonder if you guys have a similar issue.
point your browser at http://useragent.org and take note then google around or compare with stock rom to see if it is affecting you.
good luck and please report findings
Thanks for Youtube play cab.. it works on my 3G however,,,
was also looking at this UA (user agent thing), which I think I have seen in my Opera settings. Only now, I have to figure what I am actually supposed to do with that. Change it? My problem, of poor 3G speed using the internet (tried some speed tests). I compare to watching a friend bringing up an internet page on his iPhone (maybe I shouldn"t?) So ,one might ask,, if I can play youtube videos with this cab,, isn't that enough? Well yes, but mostly I would really like to use 3G for browsing,, and for some reason that is where everything seems to slow down. Any I can have anywhere from 2 to five bars on 3G, no difference. I would look into this UA thing, if only a setting change, but don't want to start screwing with dll's
Hi!
My Wifispeed is approx. 700 Kbits/s, and this doesnt change if i surf the internet or if i download from my local network. For the internet part, this speed is ok. But on my local network i should get MUCH more speed, i have a 54 MBit Router set to G Mode and my blackstone connects with G Support.
But i should get a speed 10 times faster like my other pcs do on the local network.
Why is the Blackstone so slow?
I already read about the registrysetting
HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN12511\Parms
param="Dot11SupportedRateMaskG" value="8"
But this was already my default setting.
Please, if there are any ideas / hacks please tell me!
Hi All,
Beside this registry, are there any other setting we can change to improve the WIFI connection speed ? Coz i tried to search using google but no luck.
Btw Marry X'mas & Super happy new Year to each and everyone of you all ...
Hello all!
If you use internet sharing, you might be interested in this little application. The problem in using internet sharing, and actually internet through mobile data connection in general, is that the connection drops to WCDMA (3.0G) if there is no data in a certain time. When there is data request to any direction, the phone moves to HSPA (3.5G) network connection and starts the data up- /downlink. This results to 1-3 second ping time, the lag before a website starts loading.
What does my program do then? It sends small ping packages to 8.8.8.8, Google DNS, in certain intervals. This keeps the 3.5G connection activated all the time, and there is no 1-3 second lag in moving to 3.5G from 3G. The program should work with common service providers, but the fact may be that the network in Your country is faster in moving to 3G than here in Finland. In that case experiment with KeepAlive.bat, change the "sleep 7" to example "sleep 4", from 7 second interval to 4 second interval in ping packages.
The application is started by clicking "Run.vbs". The HSPA_Ping folder has to be placed to the root of the C (C:\HSPA_Ping\). If you make a shortcut of the "Run.vbs" to the "Startup" folder, the HSPA Keep Alive program starts automatically with your computer.
The ping package is so small, that it will consume data bandwidth only about 0.4 kbps.
sorry, mate, i'm a bit confused - is this package for PC ,when using ppc as modem, or for ppc? cause i've tried running it on my 6.1 stock sex1 and it doesnt seem to work (can't run run.vbs file ) , please clarify this for me .
p.s. installed as per instruction : unzipped to device's root folder ie c:/hspa_ping/ and shrtcut to startup folder.._
Yes it is for PC, and only to be used with Internet Sharing or any 3G modem
Sorry for the inconvenience. I might be able to make a similar program for our Xperia's, but that will take time. I am on a holiday right now.
I think this behavior depends on the network - I've noticed that when I'm on the 2degrees network, i always have HSDPA, but when I'm roaming on Vodafone’s network the connection drops to 3g when I'm not using data.

It work on PC or PPC ?
If you just want the internet keep activity,you can find yourself IP like this *.*.*.* and run the cmd and tyep this on it :
ping *.*.*.* -l 1 -t
I don't know how to upload the screenshot on here~

Sorry to my poor English~~-_-!
