Hellos Folks,
I am using ATT version of Galaxy S3.
Although its great device but I am facing 2 issues:
1) Low download speeds as per the tests I have done so far via speetest.net app
I have done around 25-30 tests at different times and the average speed on 4g LTE was 6 Mbps, I have read online that the people get speeds upto 20 Mbps, Is anyone else facing this issue ?
2) Video\Voice calling not working via Google Talk, Skype, Nimbuzz
Whenever I try voice\video call it does not work, it always gives a message 'To make voice\ video calls you need to be connected to Wi-Fi'
Did anybody else got this error.
Need your help guys.

I have an unbranded DHD. So far, I have been running it on 1.72 without root and it was more or less ok having only a random restart from time to time.
I s-offed my phone and installed the latest Gingerbread ROM. Unfortunately, the internet connection over 3G is extremely slow. After checking it using SpeedTest I am getting results of only 100Kbps Download, but Upload is ok at more than 4Mbps.
I have checked my missus'es SIM in my phone and it's exactly the same (prior to that I was getting over 5Mbps Download speeds on her iPhone 3G) so I know it's not some restriction on my account.
I have even downgraded Radio to the old version from 1.72, but the speed was still as bad.
Has anybody experienced this problem? Is there any fix for that?
I shall only add that the phone itself works brilliantly with no problems in making/receiving calls or using the Internet over WiFi.

Have you limitation of DOWNload of data in your telephonic rate? Probably you was consumed the all the MB...
IN MY COUNTRY when you consumes the all the contracted data your download speed downs to the slowest speed (128kb )
No, I have an unlimited plan and as I said, I checked my girlfriends SIM as well. First on iPhone it showed more than 4Mbps download, and 5 minutes later 100Kbps.
I did Downgrade to older radio (+RIL) and it didn't help either

okay i´m sorry my english sometimes is poor
wait a moment... i´m looking for it..
I've been tethering my Evo 4G for about a year now and all of a sudden, a few days ago, I noticed my WiFi tether speeds dramatically decreased, especially when 4G is turned on. When I run speedtests directly on my Evo 4G I would get an average of 6 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload. When I run speedtest.net on my laptop that is WiFi tethered I would get an error "Configuration Load Failed" and my browsing is extremely slow. I tried my desktop computer and got the same error message and dialup like browsing speeds. I tried tethering my iPad and another Evo 4G and the speedtest app resulted in ridiculously low speeds like 0.04Mbps download but a normal 1.4 Mbps upload speed.
I've been tethering my Evo 4G with 3 devices on a daily basis and used to get an average of 3 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload speeds at my office. Is it possible that the built-in WiFi router is defective now?
A couple of other unusual changes that I noticed within the past few days:
- My 4G speed on the phone itself is faster now at my office. I used to average 2-3Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload at work every day. Now I've been clocking at an average of 6 Mbps download and 1.45 upload. Maybe Sprint improved service in my area?
- I checked my latest Sprint bill and noticed I used an unusual and huge amount of 4G data last month. I used to average 2-3GB of data per month but this September I used 12.2GB. I was shocked when I saw that. I don't think I'm being throttled because my phone is still running fast on 4G.
- My billing cycle starts every 3rd of the month (about the same time the slow WiFi tether problem started)
- I started getting "Low Internal Storage Space" messages
I've been searching other threads with Slow WiFi Tethering problems and so far I've done the following in attempt to troubleshoot and still got the same slow speeds:
- Wiped Cache Partition and Wiped Dalvic Cache using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5. I read somewhere in the forums that this may increase 4G speeds. This did free up some memory and cleared up my "Low Internal Storage Space" message.
- Moved the 'fixroute.sh' file to another location (as instructed from another thread)
- Uninstalled and reinstalled WiFi Tether 2.0.5 (been using that since last year), WiFi Tether 2.0.7. (Same results), and WiFi Tether 3.1. Beta 6 (Does not work)
- Tried 4G at home and friend's house about 5 miles away and got the same sluggish results.
I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem where their WiFi tethering just stopped working as fast as it used to and what did they do to fix it? Is this a hardware problem?
By the way, I'm on a rooted stock 2.2 ROM, Pri 1.40_003
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Update:
My phone is still suffering from slow 3G/4G wireless tether today in Brooklyn, NY with 0.08 Mbs down / 1.76 Mbs up.
This past Saturday I did notice that while I was in South Amboy, NJ, I was able to wireless tether 4G signal at about 2.16 Mbps down / 0.73 Mbps up. Speedtests were about the same on the phone itself and on my laptop. Why was I able to tether faster there made me even more puzzled and ruled out that my phone's built in wifi router is defective.
I'm hoping I can get this fixed soon. I have no clue what else I can do to get my wireless tethering back up to speed...
Update:
2 days ago I followed instructions on how to fix download speeds by editing the phone's HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978
After applying the changes I instantly got my WiFi tether speeds back! I ran speed tests on my ipad and was able to get as high as 5 Mbps down and 1.4 Mbps up. I waited until the next morning to try it at work (where I mainly tether) and to my disappointment my speeds were back to slow 0.1 Mbps down and normal 1.5 Mbps up. I checked my proxy settings to see if they reverted back but nothing changed. I then went back home and found that my tether speeds were slow there as well. This was really bothersome! I then decided to give up for now and just tether on 3G for now.
This morning I stumbled across another thread on filterproxy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966418
I followed the instructions and was successful in tethering at 4G speeds! Whew! My speedtest's results:
Ping 353 (This increased dramatically. I normally get 75)
Download Speed 5.14 Mbps
Upload Speed 1.33 Mbps
I'll keep running speedtests though out the day and see anything changes. Hopefully this filterproxy solution will hold up. It's an extra step to configure my browsers to use the proxy whenever I tether but I won't complain because I got my 4G speeds back (For now).
My question for now is... How come I was able to run wifi tether without all these problems for over a year and then all of a sudden run into these problems?
I hope this helps anyone else who has slow tethering over 4G problems.
Hi all,
I searched the forums for this topic and haven't been able to find anything that addessess this exactly...
I have a rooted SGS2 with Whitehawkx's rom installed. I have been using it for over a week now and noticed that even if wifi calling is enabled, I often get an "unable to connect" error, then when I actually get the Wifi calling to work, the call quality is really bad.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there any kind of fix or work-around?
Thanks!
Madi
Are you using the sim card that came with the device? That could be the problem.
Sent from my SGH-T989
I got a new SIM card when I bought the phone. It does "work" meaning I can usually get wifi calling enabled after a few tries, although not always.
When I call comes in the wifi calling icon goes from blue to green, like it's supposed too, but the calls sounds like the person on the other end has a very bad stutter, so I miss half the conversation...
Madi
In that case I don't know what could be causing that problem. IM currently running juggernaut 4.0 with the new modem and wifi calling is working perfectly. I hope someone can help!

How is the quality of your internet connection?
Sometimes poor internet or local isp might be the problem.
Try running speedtest.net test and report

I am getting 5424 kbps download and 356 kbps upload...
Call quality on Wifi calling could be because of ANYTHING , network related, it is a VOIP based service.
The things that could be causing it,
Internet Connection (not just speed but packet loss)
Router (the type of router , including firewall, and stateful packet inspection, UPNP)
Wireless Access Point, try changing the channel on your AP
and many more things , related to network traffic ..
My call quality bounces from great to crappy depending on what is going on, on my network.
Hi thanks for the info. Tried connecting to a different router, was using my new Cisco, Burr had better quality when connected to my old Belkin. It's stool not great but it's better.
Thanks

just wanted to bump this thread as I am having the same problems stated in the OP.
Info in sig. got a new sim card from tmobile today. got home, connected to wifi calling, worked for about an hour with choppy quality then disconnected. tried connecting again later on and keep getting the "Error REG99 Unable To Connect" message
Tmobile support forums say this is a known issue with the SGS2 but am just wondering if others are experiencing the issue and weather its rom related or the service is down altogether.
i also tried flashing different kernel just in case (faux to darkside) but no results
anybody insight or suggestion are appreciated
will also try flashing Blaze LB7 radio
I have an unrooted Galaxy S4 Spark. I always connect, but the voice is totally unuseable.
It's not my network. I can run video calls on Skype while downloading large files at the same time.
I don't think Sprint has their heart in Wi-Fi calling. I also suspect they have allocated VERY LITTLE bandwidth to support it.
I searched and found no other person mention my issue on our forum.

Tried stock T-Mobile 4.4.2, tried every T-Mobile ROM, and every aosp all give me the same result as when i noticed it using X-note.
Is it just my phone that's got issues or does nobody else notice Wi-Fi or LTE speeds getting slashed while using Bluetooth?
Can someone let me know if this is isolated to my phone or other T-Mobile note 3 on 4.4.2?

I have bluetooth enabled all day - with galaxy gear watch connected. Never had an issue with speeds.
Are you on bluetooth with a phone call? Because if you are, your speeds drop to 4G and not LTE.
It's not during a call. It still shows up as LTE or 3G or 2G or Wi-Fi. It simply take whatever speed those normally provide and chops 85% off. I can see the signals all remain the exact same the download speed is the only difference. I'm speaking about while using a Bluetooth speaker or headphone during playback of music already on my phone. If I stop or pause the music it goes right back to normal until I hit play again. This is only an issue for me when downloading large files it just takes 10 times longer than normal.

I just run both WiFi and LTE speed tests with BT headphones playing song and no BT, no speed differences to speak of, is this only KK thing or is there other reason I don't experience this slowdown since I'm on 4.3 rooted?
Is anyone else having trouble with their Wi-Fi speed or 4G speed jumping all over the place? If I run speed test by Okla on LG 4G speed jumps about from 5.5th to 1.5th yet if I the same test on iPhone its a pretty solid figure that it stays on rather than jumping about.

Mine seems to hang a lot, especially when I do voice searches using Google Now.
You are not alone. I constantly have to switch between 4g and wifi to keep streaming a video or continue web browsing. Wifi just stops working, although connected still just no data incoming. I know its not my wifi because my other devices work PERFECTLY.
To top it off i called T-Mobile, got a replacement new device and this one does the same. Its definately the phone. They need to fix this soon.
