i found a different thread but it talked about the icon.
i recently picked up a tilt 2.
now over wifi, with the att proxy disabled i compared my tilt 2 to my iphone 3g.
i used speedtest net. web app on the tilt 2 and on the iphone i can only use the app.
what i found interesting is on the iphone i get 5 megs down 600k up which is about right to what my dsl line is provisioned at currently.
when i run the test on my tilt2 the max i can hit is 1.5 megs down.
is this normal? software? hardware? when i goto connection settings on the tilt it shows down speed 54mbps upload at 1.... when i click my wifi connection on the tilt.
any info would be appreciated.
over 3g i get about the same speed 3g iphone vs tilt those add up. i'm not really intrested in the slow speed over 3g what is bothering me is why is this phone so slow over wifi.
one more thing i want to add, when i connect wifi, with data off
network advance, Tx rate is 54MBps Rx rate is always 1 Mbps.
no matter what rom i have on the device.
Mine does the same thing. I contacted HTC and they where no help. I'm thinking of calling HTC again and see if I get some one else that might have a clue. You would think that when you connect to Wi-Fi that you would get better than 1.5Mb/s.
same here. Tilt 2 max 1.5
same here.
Tilt 2 with default at&t rom, sim unlocked on Roger(canada) network with the good connection settings.
Max 1.5 moslty around 1 on both 3G and wifi.
bad hardware or just how it is?
i have tried a different radio flash no change. to me it seems like bad hardware or a hard cap in the phones hardware.
does anyone DO NOT observ this problem with is tilt 2?
Yea i am at about 1 mbps as well on wifi. With full reception on 3g though for some reason i can only get speeds of about .5-.7mbps what the hell. I called ATT and they said it was the device but who knows. I bought this phone because of the fact that it had HSDPA 7.2. (I spend a lot of time on the internet) and of course some of the other great features it offers but my iphone 3g out performs it :-( really aggrivating
I have the T-Mo touch pro 2 and I use my phone as a modem for my laptop and it always feels like the internet is screaming fast, how would I check to see how fast it's actually going so I can report?
well that is because when you teather your laptop it is going through a different set of towers and uses different data (or something like that) then if you are just browsing from your phone. To test the speed just teather your phone and go to speedtest.net
Slow here on ATT Tilt 2
I also seem to have the 1.5 max wifi, G3 is even slower.
Missing the kaiser (original Tilt) already
i called htc on this matter, and the guy i spoke to is getting the same results, 1.5Mbps max.
this phone is same speed wifi and 3g in terms of load, etc i find this hard to accept, my ipaq is 802.11b and it wifi connection is not throttled to 1.5Mbps like this phone.
rom's and radio make no difference to the speed and if its hard capped at 1.5Mbps how in the world can it even hit the crappy 7.2Mbps att is rolling out backwards.
those this problem only observ on the tilt 2 or tp2 from sprint or verizon also get the problem?

Yep, I have Verizon FIOS at the house, and we have the max speed, 25 down 15 up. Testing with speedtest.net on my laptop i average 19.5 down, 13.5 up.
Turn on the wifi on my tilt2, and I get 1.5 down, 1.2 up. Ouch.
I get 0.05 down and 0.32 up. I've been complaining about it for awhile now. I have spent a long time calling AT&T and visiting the store and in the end it has led to them telling me they need to send me a new phone. If I take that option, I will let everyone know if the new phone was the same.
Oh bother, same here.... Bounces at 1.5 down, .35 up. Like it's hard-coded to limit it to that speed.
Probably another way for ATT to give network priority to the sheephone.
it's really inacceptabled. I've bought the found from a second hand here in canada. I cannot change it like this. HTC must offer a solution to us. It's not only an at&t phone. It's a world phone.
Same here too.
WiFi on my laptop gets me 6-7, but Wifi on the Tilt2 maxes out around 1.5

I would have suspected that too, but when you switch to wifi, you are no longer on the AT&T 3G network. I think it has to be a hard limit on the phone. The question is, can that limit be "unlocked" somehow?

this is the question i asked htc. they are getting back to me.
i hope this is just a software issue that can be addressed with some sort of patch.
it feels like hardware since its on stock or cooked roms.
Hi all,
I have bought a couple Motorola Defy [T-Mobile - unlocked] from NegriElectronics and the phone is a great phone. The Big problem that I am having is that the signal strength that this phone is showing is always VERY low as compared to my T-mobile G2 that I also bought from negri and unlocked.
The first defy i left it at stock 2.1 @ 2.34.1
The other defy I flashed 3.4.2-155-2 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite.
The flashed defy show a 4dBm increase to the original but it still crappy
Everything in the phone works, and it is fast. But the Bloody reception drops to one bar and sometimes go into Emergency Call Mode.
I'm in Trinidad in the Caribbean and it is not the sim or the carrier because i placed the sim in my G2 and it gets full bars.
What can I do to improve the reception on my Defy's?????
THANKS
I had same problem. This fixed it.

I hope UNRAFA's solution works for you, but if it doesn't... just because your SIM works in the G2 doesn't necessarily mean it will work in the Defy. Not sure why. When I bought my Defy I had recently upgraded my SIM and it worked for a while -- then went off the rails reception-wise. T-Mo had me upgrade to a uicc SIM and that solved the problem. At least for me.
Actually the Chinese had made a baseband switcher apk which collected nearly 20 baseband settings of various defy roms worldwide. Unfortunately it has no English translation.
Hi All,
It has nothing to do with the sim (I am sure) and the Chinese application i cannot read
Is there any other tweaks that I can do to help the reception?
Seriously, the link i gave you contains all the information, the basebands, BaseBandSwitcher.apk to install and do it with a click, every option is in chinese but it got a number next to it matching the firmware version, and i think its prety much universal numbers and easy to guess, but yet a translation of every option of the program has been posted..
And yes, there are other options to get better 3g editing build.prop but despite good reports from people, that has not been proved to actually increase 3g speed and i wouldn't recommend doing that.
Compared to my Samsung Vibrant 2G reception was very poor out on rural interstates, but perfectly fine in the city and it has much better 3G reception than the Vibrant. I think there was a problem with my original.. I got a new one and I will be testing it out soon.
Ok, I see the baseband thing you were talking about, tried it, but i seem to get an increase of 4dBm on the signal
BTW, there is NO 3G here, just 2.5G/EDGE, hence I dont really care about the Internet speed. I just need a better reception.
I compared this phone to the 3 Nokias in the household and all the nokias were showing 5 bars, while the Defy was at 2
Something is really messed up with this. Is there any way to manually increase the tX and rx power of the radio ????
I'm on Pays 5.0 and still not much difference with the new radio/sbf
Baseband 3g fixes, not only fixes 3g speed, it fixes reception too. Just apply the fix for your country and you are done, theres also ZERO danger for your phone, you can apply patches one over another untill you get the one that best works for you.
An easy test is switch between "2g only , or 3g only" and watch reception bars for voice calls. If you have 3g slow speed or bad reception, you need a patch.
RE: On Chinese baseband switcher apk
Yo folks,
Check out

I guess this translation is better then nothing right.
FYI I already tried it, seems there's some improvement but not that significant, but hey every region has different network quality right?
Ciao
Of course... you could have a bad phone.
About a few days i installed Aniking rom for xperia arc and started getting 3g speeds on 2g data plans but yesterday it suddenly stopped.
Does anyone know how to get it back or provide me tweak required.
Fyi i used multiple sims so it had to with rom not with any running offers.
I purchased the HTX One X last Friday after some low life stole my Xperia S in Norway. So far I like the phone, however I'm have a major problem due to unreliable and intermittent 3G signal. The data speed varies significantly from a good connection to complete drop out over a period of a few seconds both at home and in the office. I also think that the continuous signal drop out is killing the battery life as the phone is continuously searching for a signal. The phone was purchased sim Free and I have a Three sim only contract. .
By comparison my Xperia S (also on three) had a really fast and stable 3G signal. I also did a couple of tests tonight using my old Iphone 4. The Iphone averaged 2460 kbps using the speed test app while the HTC averaged only 542 kbps. It was also noticeable that the Iphone gave consistent results while the HTC was pretty random and often couldn't finish the test.
I'm pretty certain that this is a faulty phone and will try and return it tomorrow for a replacement. however before I take it back I just wanted to check if anyone has had a similar problem and if they found a solution.
At the end of the day I'd prefer to stick with the HTC but if the connection issues cannot be resolved then I may have to go back to the Xperia S
What is your Firmware Version ?
I had the same issue with poor signal o2 uk, with 1.26 software but after upgrading to 1.28 my signal strength improved! try checking for software update and see if that helps!!
software version is 1.28.401.9
I have sw 1.29. Sinne yesterday i have a very Bad signal. I changed my sim i placed the sim in my iphone. Sim and network are working correctly.
Now i have in good network areas only 2 3 signal bars.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I checked now again the hox. I have no 3g signal. Only edge.
exchanged the handset yesterday and the connection speed seems to be much more stable. However I haven't updated the firmware from1.26.401.2 as I'm concerned that the update may have caused problems on the previous phone. If I update and experience the same problems is there a way to change back to the original firmware version?
Hi guys,
Im having issues with connection speeds though hspda on my hand set (tmobile uk).
Im getting really really poor speeds, if i download something of dropbox it can take an age - yet if i download the same file from my wifes desire hd (virgin mobile - basically the same network just rebranded) she gets it very quickly.
i then tested a bit torrent file and never got past 5kBs on my phone but hers reached 97kBs and held. Mine would drop down to 500bs most of the time as well.
The signal strengths are the same and i have tested this in a quiet a few locations now and the results are consistant.
Also ive given up streaming tune in radio on my phone as it constantly drops and now use the wifes virgin desire hd as it working correctly with no drops.
My sim is now 11 or 12 years old now and im wondering if that could be the cause of the problems im having with connectivity.
Has anyone had bad speeds running an old if not ancient card like this?
Have they changed the design of the chips with the event of 3g?.
when i purchaced the original phone on the contract i dont think 3g was avalible then so im suspecting that could be the cause,
can anyone shed any light?
thanks
Your sim is so old? :O so you cut the sim to make it fit for the hox. Order a new one mate. Old ones mostly cause some trouble. You should be able to order a new sim from your provider for a few bucks or even for free. Try it out. And of course you can install speed test to see how the transfer is.

thanks mate, ive just got a replacement free of charge, the speeds are 1000x better, only problem now is my imei number is no longer there and the phone wont show my phone number.
i think they were a bit suprised that it was working at all at the age the card was.
why do htcs always reset the home screens on sim change, blooming annoying!!.
just fixed everything, got the settings from tmobile and i now have imei number, phone number etc, and the phone running a lot better!! i cant understand how a sim card could make the phone run so badly, either way its had a new breath of life and running much better,
anyone that has an older sim get it changed, i think mine only supported 2.5g as i wasnt getting any speed above that.
thanks again
