Hi guys! I am getting over 7 Meg download speed, however, it is painfully slow. As in watching movies etc, it just used to be slot faster. Any ideas of something I can do?

Hi, this isn't really enough information to go on.
Are you rooted? If so, which rom are you running? Since when are you running it? When did the performance decline become apparent? Do you notice poor performance only when trying to stream videos?
As for Ideas to solve this: Switch to a different rom such as virtuous g-lite/sense 2.0 to find out if your problem persists. Maybe there are certain processes running in the background, that impact your systems performance. Another issue might be, that you don't really get the full 7 mbit from whichever streaming service you are trying to access.

Hello, I'm running miui, and ever since I flashed it both my WiFi and mobile network speeds are horrible. It only loads a few few kb/s, while stock ROM and my computer have excellent speeds, same result when I was at a friends house.
However network speeds are great at my schools public network; they've blocked loads of ports and protocols which means stuff like the Android Market won't work. This gives me the feeling that my traffic is being tunneled, but that the port is blocked at school so it reverts to non-tunneled traffic.
However I'm not sure of this because for example my external ip is the same as my computers, and sites like what's my ip doesn't detect any proxy.
Both VPN and proxy aredisabled in the menus.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I've now noticed that the same problem occurs when running OpenDesire.. Maybe it's related to AOSP ROMs?
EDIT2: Just remembered, CyanogenMod used to work fine.. I'll try flashing it once again.

Try a non-MIUI ROM, or try stock
As I said in my first post, stock ROM doesn't have the problem. Cyanogenmod works fine too

Could my current radio affect this? Unfortunately I can't remember what I'm currently using..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I tried the latest radio, 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, but no difference.. Watching YouTube videos does not work because it's soo slow, downloading Angry Birds would take 25 minutes, downloading a 100kb pdf file with bus timetables took a minute and so on.. ._.
bump.
Any info you want?
Are you still getting 3g or is it only 1x data?
It does show the 3G icon, so yes, 3G,
Same problems when running OpenDesire! Maybe it's an AOSP ROM problem occurring just for me?
EDIT: Just remembered that CyanogenMod used to run fine, I'll try flashing it and see if the same problems occur again.
Check your build.prop data/net settings and compare with one from a ROM that works well for you. Try and make the WiFi scan interval option 60s or above (not below).

I set it to 60, pushed in recovery, no change. Didn't notice any differences among wifi and data.
Problem solved! I solved it by updating my routers firmware(Apple airport extreme)

Does anyone else think the 3g/H performance is a bit lame on their DHD??
I'm currently using Android Revolution HD 2.0.10 and have tried virtually all the radios out there. Even with the stock ROM i noticed it was a bit slow.
At first i thought it was the stock browser but Ive tried a few 3rd party browsers and the results aint much better.
Ive disabled flash (browser settings - enabled plugins) and enabled mobile view but it still takes 5-10 seconds to load a page. The market homepage also takes ages to load.
(clearing the cache makes a bit of a difference but surely i shouldn't have to do that every time??)
Ive confirmed my APN settings, im on Orange in the UK by the way
My old hero was faster!!!
Its not like im trying to watch you tube videos or anything Im only using mobile data to check the football scores and sometimes BBC news.
You can check out your ping at pingtest.net.
If its a lot above 150ms it might be noticable in browsing...
As a new user coming from the hero I also find the DHD is lacking in pace. It is not very inclined to give me H band and always prefer gsm.. which is next to no movement most times whenever I try anything online.
I've also flashed the new radio prior installing the revolution HD Rom.
I'm on T-mobile if that helps..
Thanks!

I've had this issue on every touchwiz based rom I've run. I would guess that most of the time I can watch a video that's as long as about 2 minutes most times. If it's longer than that I'll usually make it about 50% of the way through the video. When I was running cm7 on this phone I didn't have the problem. I've tried searching bit my terms seem pretty vague and I can't really find anyone else having the problem, or any solutions.
Anyone else ever experience this kind of trouble with the YouTube app? I'm currently on the latest blazer rom but have also tried Caulkilins (I never know how to spell it or pronounce it...but you know which rom I mean ;-) )
Thanks

Had this problem with the Evo and Evo 3d. Also got it on this phone stock when I first bought it. Somehow it just went away since I've flashed Calk's. I think its a problem with YouTube itself.

I never really had this problem. Hopefully you find a solution.
Lately YouTube app freezes on videos and on epic 4 it foreclose altogether now

It doesn't fc, it just stops playing. I just tried to watch a 3 minute video and the (god forbid) a 10 minute. Nope. Not even close to 2 minutes in on either. Is YouTube that bad now? I don't seem to have this much trouble on my PCs,though I do occasionally have some.
This REALLY bothers me. But others are able to watch videos no problem, eh? This isn't an epidemic ....
Really weird. :-(

Are you on the latest Youtube version?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524351
Try that if not. Once again good luck on the find.
I've been on every single rom. I never had this issue. Are you using ics leak or gb el29? Also do you have good data speeds or a reliable wifi at your house? And did you update your flash player via market?

I'm in your boat my dude. My youtube will just stop playing randomly. It could be 3 mins or 10 mins into the video and it just stops. It really started annoying me until I realized that it was an automatic pause. So I when I touched the screen, it would resume. I don't think anyone is working on a fix though with it being a seemingly small issue.
Mi nuh tek intimidation
I was complaining about this to someone at work the other day...and when I went to show them, it worked fine. I SWEAR I've had this problem at work..but maybe I got my facts confused and just didn't look @ youtube at work beause I didn't want anyone to see how flawed my awesome device was.
tried a few more....everything was good.
Go home....no go. So now I'm wondering if it's my old Linksys WRT54Gv8 running DD-WRT. I upgraded the firmware to the newest stable (mine was from 2008 and upgraded to one that is late 2009). No Luck.
at work I was on wifi also, so...it's not the phone's WiFi.
it works better on 3/4g but freakin wifi should rule them all. my cable is fast as F and other devices in the house don't have issues...weird, eh?
OK so this is a troubleshooting thread at this point. It's a problem with my home wireless.
I tried upgrading the firmware on my DD-wrt router and I think I bricked it. Oh well. It had a decent life. The firmware was from early 2008 and I don't remember when I got it.
So I got a new Linksys/Cisco e3000 and set it up. It doesn't hand out IP addresses or anything. All it does is share my internet connection. Dhcp and DNS is handled by my old windows 2003 domain controller. I get an IP and all seems fine but I've done quite a bit of testing tonight and wireless is slower to begin things (like market, YouTube, etc) than 4g.
My speed test results are great thoughf on wireless. Like....stupid fast. Almost as fast as my connection is. ~25mb.
The initial post was obviously about YouTube and what I'm seeing is on Wi-Fi a video will cache up much faster but it stops at some point. When the playing video reaches that point the video stops and will not start again. When I watch a video on 4g it caches up more slowly, staying just ahead of what's playing. On the rare instance that it catches up I'll get the spinning circle for a second or 200 and it'll start playing again.
The behavior is quite different and I'm not sure what would cause it.
Hoping someone might have some insight here or suggestions .....pretty irritating to not be able to enjoy this awesome phone as much at home as I can at work. I have a lot more time to f off on my phone @ home.
For my home wifi I got the Asus n56u, and also bought a range extender that plugs into an outlet. I have had no connectivity issues and setup was a breeze. Its either your router or your service at this point.

i'm having the same f***ed up issue. after playing vids for 5 mins, it stops suddenly. and its annoying as f** !!! theres got to be a solution to this.
My setup is just overly complicated. I had a 2003 domain controller that does dhcp and DNS, then goes through a virtual machine of a Linux firewall called Untangle. The VM was running within a 2008 server who was also supposed to be a domain controller.
I hated 2008 and wanted to go to R's anyway so I demoted the 2008 server blew away the old untangle install and just started over with 2008r2. Also upgraded from the old free vmware server client (no longer available or supported) and went to vmware workstation and now everything is working great.
I doubt you have the same things.....but....I don't think it was a problem with android or YouTube, but its still weird that no other devices at my house had this problem ....

Anyone else have the YouTube app just freeze up during playback?
I think it might be a problem with the way the app is caching the video. It will load up to a certain point and then stop. When playback reaches that point, it won't load anymore. If i try and back out, the app freezes and eventually force closes.
One thing I've noticed though is that this only seems to happen with all the 4.0.3 roms I've tried. When using Android rev. HD there are no problems.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

That did put a smile on my face.
But seriously though, I notice your with Verizon which is cdma, I'm on a gsm phone. I wonder if it could just be a gsm vs. cdma rom issue.
Poor connection. Remember HD videos pulls more data. I get the loading symbol but only when connected to a slow wifi.

I get really slow loading on any connection. Either 3G, which is typically about 1.8 Mbps, or over my wifi, which is through 12 Mbps cable. Doesn't seem to matter how fast the connection is, at least for me. Not sure if it's my ROM or what.
happens to me on stock 4.0.2. Mostly with embedded videos in browsers. Also when attempting to seek via browser or app.
On wifi, 35mbps fios with full strength reading and about 20mbps thru put.
Drives me nuts, coming from iPhones and never had any problem watching vids. Now 90% crash or fail.

I get the same problem too, even after upgrading to one of the 4.0.4 roms. A temporary solution that I've found is that using the 2.4.4 version of YouTube works without any problems. Only downside is that this version isn't as polished as the updated one.
Here's a link I uploaded to the old youtube app if anyone wants it.

Hey Guys and Gals. Okay, I just noticed this today when trying to watch The Avengers after using the T-Mo free download sneaky sly-boots buildprop trick. If I turn my WIFI off while trying to play it the video is crazy choppy. No audio lag. Just video. I was trying to watch during my lunch break and I was out of range of the office WIFI so I toggled it off to save a little juice. When I got home I tried to play it again and it worked flawlessly... but I was connected to my home WIFI. I found that curious so during the movie I toggled it off again and low and behold, choppy video. One would think with all of the horsepower this phone has it would be able to handle HD movie playback without packet streaming from WIFI. I haven't seen any mention of it on here anywhere. Is this an annoyance that will be fixed with Jelly Bean or is this just how it is with this phone? Is TWiz murdering playback? Honestly I haven't tried it with any JB Rom other than Drew's 3.5, but playback simply doesn't work on that rom's current version. I tried it on just bone stock rooted and on Wanam.
So has anyone else experienced this or have tips?
Also I downloaded MX and Mobo to see if their hw acceleration was better but got the same results.
WonderDroid Gurus activate! Form of... Tips and/or knowledge? Idk.
Hardware specs don't enter into streaming much. Its choppy likely because the network is congested.

Well alright then. I guess my next question is if it is the network shouldn't it not happen if I shut off data and WiFi? If it is a network only issue then shutting off data should help right?
