When I have 6.1 installed (CRCs/Pays) I get about 1,500KB/s using the dslreports.com mobile speed test. This seems about right. With 6.5 installed the speeds seem much lower. Right now I am running DV 5.0 Final and I get around 700-800KB/s. My router is set to G-Only and everything is good on that end. Is there something I can do to improve the WiFi speeds or is this normal?
Bump. Just trying to figure out what's going on here. With 6.1 ROMs I am getting great speeds but I just flashed to DV5.0 and cannot get anything abot 700-800kb/s.
mmm?
Its due to the PP cause IE needs almost 13MB PP and our roms cause hermes is damn tiny we use 4MB or 6MB
try to use another Explorer to enjoy more speed at dl and or streaming
Ever since I unlocked my phone my service is slow! I have a TP2 on the VZW network
I ran the speed test at mobilespeedtest.com and it says 222 kbps that I am under what other people on verizon have got ... with the stock ROM it would say 3G now its says EV I know that its just the icon. also I would only have 2 bars at the max
I called verizon about this and they set up a TT - Trouble Ticket and Verizon people have called me saying everything is fine
I use the ppckitchen to bulid my own ROMs i have try other one here also allways the same problem.
__________________________________________________ _________
So today I tested a theory I had "What if i flashed back to stock and relocked my TP2"
So I did I reflashed to the stock ROM and Relocked
WoW i have full bars now
Speed test is now Showing 3g speeds of 448
So I am left with having to be on the stock ROM if I want the faster speed vs using HTC Since 2.5
Any help on this Will be thanked!

It sounds like you just need to determine which radio is included in that stock ROM, and flash that radio to your phone after you install a custom ROM.
Having read both of your posts here and on ppc, it seems like you aren't experience problems with radios, but when you unlock your radio, which honestly should not affect anything (Based on this info.)
In all honesty I experience anywhere from low 100s to high 700s depending on a lot of factors. Also, if you look at phone arena and multiple other websites, the TP2 doesn't have the best 3g receiver, meaning other phones will get better speeds. I think you need to chalk this one up as normal.
I have based my test results on dslreports.com/mspeed with 200k, 400k, and 1MB files using both IE and Opera (opera turbo disabled).
Ok, so I've been a lurker on the forums for quite some time, but I finally have a problem that I felt warranted a new thread, as the only threads I've found upon doing a search are pretty old and not specifically relevant to the issue I'm having.
I recently updated to 2.2 with the official OTA (the .6 firmware, not the early .3 leak) and basically ever since I've had no problems short of a universally ABYSMAL 3G connection. The phone stays connected, and I can browse the web, etc. but I'm getting speeds of about 7k down. Yes, 7. Not 70, not 700, 7.
I've tried testing both in the admittedly buggy speedtest.net app, which actually reported a much higher upload speed than download, and then again with mobilespeedtest.com just to be sure it wasn't an error within the speedtest app. My 3G speeds are so incredibly bad that my NPR app won't function at all. Youtube videos buffer for minutes on end even at low quality, even Google takes about 30 seconds to load. I've tried restarting the phone, I've updated the PRL, I've used the network app to make sure my PRL was set to CDMA Auto (it was)... I'm at my wits end and considering a hard reset. Before I do that though I was just wondering if anyone out there has been experiencing the same problems.
Any magic tricks out there? Am I all alone in this one? >.>;
Sounds like a rare case of your radio being internally damaged from flashing corruption. I'd take it to a Sprint store and they should replace it for you for free.
Good luck
Can you download the OTA manually and attempt to reflash it?
I was having the same problem. It started with the RC1 ROM, then I flashed to the new Fresh 3.1 Rom. Nothing I did helped then I found a page that had all the old radios. So I flashed a few radios back from when I had better service. Maybe you can try to flash a different radio. So far it had been pretty good for me. I didn't flash the Wimax, just try the radio.
Heres the page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485&highlight=downgrade+radio
With all the excitement going on with the Wimax being alpha tested in the CM ROM it got me testing my data speeds the last few weeks.
From my understanding 3G speeds should be decent and range between 1 - 3 mbps down, and using Sprints 3G network I am not coming close to that.
I am using the SpeedTest.net app for my results, and I have read from some posts that the app might not be that accurate.
Here are the results that I have been seeing (displayed as Mbps) using the closest server to me (Random Lake, WI - even though other servers are giving me the same low scores):
1/6/11 - .18 down and .37 up
1/6/11 - .16 down and .30 up
1/2/11 - .30 down and .77 up
12/27/10 - .45 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .34 down and .27 up
12/27/10 - .12 down and .20 up
12/24/10 - .45 down and .70 up
12/24/10 - .15 down and .62 up
As you can see, not close to the 1 - 3 range that I would expect. I am checking that the icon is showing 3G and 1X when doing the test as well. Here is some information to help deduct and (hopefully) solve my issue.
My EVO is from release day, not the 004 hardware
I'm running CM 6.1.1
CM stock kernal that comes with it - 2.6.35.9 [email protected] #1
Theme is Project_Bliss HD (modded by me to include some different emoticons and Batman themed notification shade)
I have flashed all of the latest
*Radio - 2.15.00.11.19
*Wimax - 27167_R01 (even though where I live has no 4G)
*PRI - 1.90_003
*NV - 1.90_003
I have flash a Sense ROM and update Profile and PRL
I live in Appleton, WI area if that matters at all.
So am I just looking at my results wrong? If I'm not, what are some solutions that I can look at to improve my 3G data speed? Any other test I should run or try?
Push come to shove I can always #blameshift!!

Thanks for letting Cyanogen know that. So it sounds like I'm not alone in this?
Are you having any issues?
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App
A lot of those results look like they could be from when you were connected at 1x speeds. Sometimes it seems like the status bar icon doesn't update quickly for the change in network type. Also, how strong of signal do you have. If you're at the edge of data coverage, the rate might be low because a lot of packets are getting lost in transmission. Have you seen what your speeds look like in other locations? In my home town I regularly get over 2mb, but when I was traveling a few weeks ago in some places I could barely pull 300k.
I have check all over town since my apartment is further away and gets lower strenght. Im getting the same results close or far away from a tower.
Sent from my EVO (CM6.1.1) using XDA App
i started noticing this with my evo aswell, actually about yesterday, my stats are about the same in the OP, i live less then a mile from the 4g tower, i've even been about 200 yards away and gotten crappy 4g signal, anywhere from only 3-4 dl, and barely 1 ul.
Hopefully this helps. I was also experiencing 1x speeds although the phone indicated 3G. I upgraded to an EVO after modding my Hero for the past year. Thus I was pretty comfortable with rooting, installing roms, etc. within 24 hours of getting my EVO I decided to root it and try out some of the roms available.
Almost immediately after rooting using unrEVOked I noticed signiffigantly slower data speeds. (I'm not pointing any fingers, only documenting what led up to this) I first tried out the latest CM6 rom. Upon booting it indicated 1x speeds though posts that I read stated that you are actually recieving data at 3G speeds. I think that CM6 may actually be reporting the data connection accurately while the sense rom is not. Using speedtest.net's app (I know it dosen't report speeds accurately) I was consistently recieving between 80-160 kbs download and 60-100 kbs upload. I then downloaded the same app to my wifes unrooted EVO and ran a side by side comparison. Using the same server and within seconds of testing each her EVO was downloading at 800-1600 kbs download and 600-1000 kbs upload while mine was still recieving at the afore mentioned speeds. I tried updating PRL, profile, running the stock rom to no avail. I then tried RUU and unrooting without any change.
I was convinced that either Sprint was throttling my connection or the transmitter in the phone was defective or damaged. I was ready to return the phone to Radio Shack where I purchased it last week but I decided to call Sprint and inquire about the throttling issue first. Sprint assured me I was not being throttled and they also thought I may have a defective phone but they asked if I would perform a ##DATA# before returning it. Amazingly enough this worked and my data speeds have returned to 3G speeds of around 1000-1400 kbs download.
I'll detail the procedure but I make no guarantees this will work for anyone else. Also you'll need your MSL, there are guides that detail how to obtain this or you can all Sprint and ask nicely. Also I did this while stock and unrooted and I haven't tried to reobtain root again yet so if this works for you while rooted let me know. Finally I believe you'll have to perform this using the stock dialer as I don't believe that the CM dialer will work for this.
Procedure is as follows:
Open dialer and type ##3282#. (##DATA#)
You should now be taken to the epst prompt. Choose "Edit Mode"
You will now be asked for your password. This is your MSL
Next you want to choose "Data Profile"
While in Data Profile hit the "Menu" button at the bottom of the phone.
Next choose "Restore" and allow the phone to reprovision.
Let me know if this works if you try it while rooted as I'd like to reroot again but I'm a little gun shy now that it's fixed again.
I'll give that I try and see what happens. I have to flash a stock ROM first and hope that any changes follow me along back to CM ROM. I am also going to try the Wimax kernal to see if that helps since that ks reporting to be a possibility.

this sorta helped me a bit, but i just also ended up flashing back to 1.77pri and nv, though i still have the latest wimax and radio and 60674prl on myn's rls5, however i'm still experiencing way below average data speeds as compared to what i used to, i have a release day evo with 0002 hardware, and .76 hboot, even my 4g's are slower then what they used to be.
FWIW, I experienced a drop in speed as well. I used to get 1-2 Mbps easy. Now all I get is around 500. Very strange.

i really hope your right, i mean the other day with cmWimax i nailed a 7.61, now i'm lucky if im even in the 3 range for moar gee's, lol, even with reg sense rom's i'm barely in 3 range as well, i have a tower that is only about 200 yards away that is 4g and it still suxor's.
I haven't had a chance to test the above, I'm about to start to do that.
I did try out Sprints Network Speed Test and got results from it above 1.0 finally. Then I tried using the speed test app and it was giving me location in Europo to test? This morning it is back to normal and both the speed test app and Sprints website both were giving the same results - around .80.
I'm going to flash the Wimax for CM and see if that helps out. If not, then I'm going to flash a Sense ROM and do the #DATA# trick listed above.
Here is the website for Sprints speed test website. You'll need the latest Flash installed from the market for it to work.

i have noticed though with this release of myn's that i do keep dropping 4g and reconnecting, something that i have never did before on other dev's rom's.
Well, both attempts to fix it didn't work. The new Wimax for CM didn't give me faster speed and the flashing to Sense ROM to do the ##DATA# didn't help either.
Anyone else have any ideas?
WiFi Hotspot Too Slow Download and Upload speeds
Hi,
I have HTC Evo with Hboot 2.10. and Android 2.2. (With Myn ROM RLS 5)
I followed the instructions exactly as listed here and got rooted successfully. I startup the Wifi Hotspot app and tested the speed using my computer browser using speedtest.net
The speeds were awfully slow.
0.11 Mbps for download and almost 0.05 Mbps.
Please help me figure out what is the problem.
-Thanks
Could just be your signal. Also this should be in the q&a section
from my phone duh

The signal is good. I did have another HTC Evo before and I used to get atleast 3 Mbps up and 1 Mbps down on that in this same location
I recently got another one and Iam trying to get upto speed on this, but inspite doing everything successfully, Iam not impressed with the speeds.
I read again all the Q&A section but found nothing about wireless tether speeds.
By the way it might be good to mention that Iam a normal data user, I mean I am not a heavy downloader. On my earlier phone I could use 1.2 GB in one month. On this one I hardly use 300 Mb due to slow speeds
Thanks

maybe you need to update the radio image
again, this needs to be in the q&a section. the development section is not for question threads about anything. if you have a question, you are allowed to post in a thread ALREADY MADE by the developer of the rom/kernel/whatever about which you are asking.
the development section is for people to post up ROMs/kernels/HOWTO guides. it is not for questions
