Abnormal ping? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been testing my Speeds with the Speedtest.net App found in Android Market.. I've noticed lately my Ping has been between 97-1500ms.. It's never been like that. I'm not sure if I should be worried? I live near Boston so I do use the Boston server to ping. Another thing is if i go to the speedtest.net website on my phone and do the speedtest there it says I'm in Wilson, NC? not sure about this but I've attached a photo of the proof.. I've done a lot of tests.. Odd thing is my speed is great. On some of the tests It does show that I'm getting 8-10Mbps. (The list is so long you cant see it)

It does the same thing with me, I have traced it to my APN settings, depending which one I choose I will either get high ping and great speeds or low ping and decent speeds.

Yeah I don't get it. At all.

4g speed increase?

So has anyone else noticed an increase in their 4g speeds? I was comparing my phones speed to the wi-fi in the panera bread here in Franklin, tn and when I kicked it over to 4g it was much faster than before. Usually I would get between 6-8mb on wimax l, but this test jumped to 15mb.

Awesome. Keep up the good work.
I have noticed better 4g as well. It seemed to start about 3 months ago for me. The max I have seen is 13Mbps but that was only once. I am averaging 8Mbps overall

Its worse for me, I can barely get connected in my house now and when I do its 1mbit if that. (Slower than my 3g). In the outside world its stellar

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Wifi Issues (Download Speeds)

Had my galaxy nexus for a couple weeks now and the wifi (download speeds notably) has just never been strong for me at all, even when sitting right next to my router.
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE 4.0.2 unrooted.
I get good 4g speeds, but my wifi speeds are just terrible.
Here's what I get on 4g:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what I get right next to my router:
My upload speeds aren't bad but the download is just terrible. And its weird because the ping is so low.
My wifi isn't great in general. It used to be faster but here's what I get on my computer now:
I know there's a radio fix for GSM phones with xxkk6 but I don't think there's one for LTE. Is anyone else having this issue with download speeds or know a fix? Thanks in advance.

[REQ][SCHOOL] Getting some 4G Metrics

Evening all,
Bit of a odd request here, but I figured I'd ask and see what I could come up with. I'm required to write a paper on 4G versus 3G speeds, prices, etc, etc...however I have a problem. I don't actually have a 4G phone, and thus can not run the tests myself. If people would be interested in helping a guy out, I would appreciate the following statistics.
1. Speedtest Screenshots 3G/4G
2. Timed downloads for a identical APK from the PlayStore on both 3G and 4G. (I don't care which just so long as it is download both times and uninstall between the to obviously.
3. A timed download for a external file outside of the play store on both 4G and 3G.
Thanks will be handed out for results, and it would be much appreciated!

High pings

Is anyone else experiencing high pings? I'm running all star ROM v7 on T-Mobile. I haven't done anything to my phone this week and suddenly my pings have spiked.
I've tried switching radios but it didn't do anything.

WOW, they are high! If all is working well I would not worry to much about it.
+1 I sometimes get high pings but your speed does not look affected of you ask me lol your good maybe try a different radio if all is different maybe that radio doesn't like that ROM...if not go back to that one

I think I solved the problem by changing my APN... Problem is I can't receive or send MMS now.
BTW the download speed is deceiving because the high ping makes browsing impossible lol

Will Zooper ever be able to report signal strength for CDMA?

Hi!
I've had Zooper since my Galaxy S2. So it's been a while and I'm about up on my Nexus5 so the better half of four years has gone by.
Sad to say Zooper still cannot tell me what my cell signal strength is. The ASU is always 99 and dBm is always 85. It never change changes. It's odd to think I have app called Network Signal Pro that gets this information at the ready. I've attached a screenshot of a simple Zooper widget and a widget from the fore mentioned app.

Hate to kick the dust up but it's not fair that the GSM network devices people have get this info and those on a CDMA network do not. I paid for my app way back when and it'd be nice to see this work. I really can't create anything that has a cell signal in it for myself or anybody since I can't tell if it works.
I hope somebody has some insight into this matter!
Thanks for lending me your ear!
Dave
