HSUPA is available at my location and it would be nice for me to improove my upload speed.
I like my ROM but it doesn't support HSUPA. How to switch ON HSUPA? Kaiser Tweaks really does it
I just love it when people post questions that sound like statements to get me excited. And no, I've heard of nothing to let us do that.

I'm probably out of date with some of my figures here, but as I understand it the Kaiser limitations are 3.6Mbit/s download and 384kbit/s upload - originally designed using HSDPA chips and limited with hardware. The HSUPA upload theoretical maximum is 5.76Mbit/s, but is limited to our 384kb/s so no point pushing the boat out for this anyway.
Besides, why go for a mega fast upload speed when the Kaiser doesn't have enough memory capacity to require that sort of upload (<45 secs to dump the whole phone + 16MB card) - unless of course you've got some really good porn that you need to share in a few microseconds before deleting
I found an old 3D where was written that the chip is HSUPA compatible. Whether or not it is enabled in the phone may simply be a matter of a hack.
Well,...maybe the 3D is much too old, forget it!
i agree with peterfnet

To clarify, BlackSpawn, you want to enable HSUPA WHILE keeping HSDPA enabled, correct?
I haven't heard of any mods either to allow the HSUPA to be used, though it is another function of the Qualcomm MSM 7200 chipset used in the Kaiser. Here is some light reading for you that specs HSUPA at up to5.76 Mbps (cat 6). but when you question the htc site, it specs upload at up to 384 kbps (this is what I have found to be true.
This may very well be another instance of HTC not taking full advantage of the chosen chipset, as has been fought on THIS battle field.
If anyone has some good info on enabling HSUPA, please chime in

This is exactly what I was thinking
erm.. i flash 1 rom before and in the setting menu.. there is and option enabling the HSUPA. but sorry, i forgot what rom is that..

I am running the Hyperdragon III january 13 rom.
in the settings under advanced network the is a option to enable HSDPA/HSUPA. Just thought i would let you know this rom has that option.
Was curious as to was speeds people are getting when running this app.
On zen's mytouch rom I consistently get >1200 kbps down while on the sprint rom I am getting < 850 kbps down...
On both I get about 600-700 kbps up
I don't understand because I didn't think a rom would affect data speeds.
Can people post their speeds, and if any devs have insight on why the significant speed difference, please enlighten me.
Id expect to see this in dev from a noob, but I certainly didn't expect to see this from you Looney.

thanks... brain fart on my part
it varies pretty greatly but highest was 1452 up and 765 down.
lowest was 456 down and 531 up.
I've always gotten great speed here in Atlanta. I am using Zen's rom and it seems once I switched to this rom, my speeds increased dramatically from the sprint release rom for 2.1.
2151 Down and 646 Up Highest
1751 Down and 711 Up Lowest
I'm getting constant 1400 d/l and 8 - 900 u/l on Zen's ROM

Here in Austin, I probably average around 1000 up and 600 down.
I have a question. What does everyone get on wi-fi? I ask because my wi-fi is never any faster than my 3G. I've always wondered if there is something wrong with the wi-fi on my phone, because I believe it should be much faster.
Wi-fi speed examples anybody?
On 3g in Kansas City I got 1099/730, and on wi-fi I got 3033/559.

OK, moved out of my basement, and now I got 2002/667 on 3g, 2951/551 on wi-fi. My broadband is capped at 512 up.

I need to play World of Warcraft on my laptop using my Nexus One's T-Mobile 3G connection. What can I do to reduce lag and optimize my phone for tethering?
I'm currently running the MIUI ROM which I realize is probably not optimal. I'm tethering through USB as it is gives about 50ms lower ping than using WiFi.
In WoW I'm getting 350ms to 400ms ping. However, on speedtest.net my ping is consistently less than 100ms. Is there anything I can do to further reduce my ping in game? I'ld like to get it down below 200ms if possible. I'm quite impressed with the tethering overall, but even lower latency will be awesome...especially for PvP

Try this?
Also, how much bandwidth do you have to be able to waste so much on WoW? XD
That looks interesting, I will give it a try.
haha...it's not a waste. I've so far used 2.8 GB out of Unlimited this month
I normally go well over 2GB each month...without any tethering. I would do that over Edge when I was on ATT up until last month!
Congrats, you fall into the .05% of people who are requiring the carriers to readdress their tethering/unlimited plans for the rest of us who don't play video games through a cell phone internet connection
REGARDLESS cellular packet latency is fairly high, NOWHERE NEAR what a real connection would be. So expect latency.
Playing WoW all day uses very little bandwidth. I used to tether and play and it was much smaller than I expected.
Watching one or two youtube videos is probably as much.

Not really...I use far more data downloading my RSS feeds and ROMs than I do playing WoW. And this is only temporary(visiting parents for holidays)...all my 2+ GB a month data usage in the past has been from zero tethering.
If you want to blame anything for my data usage...blame XDA
Edit: Looking at my bill, about 12 hours of gaming used about 200 MB...but that's all data usage and not just WoW. That's like 16MB an hour. Less than a youtube video an hour.

No...3G latency is not very high. Did you see the speedtest I ran and posted? Edge's latency is around 500ms which is why it feels so much slower than 3G. It's really not the bandwidth difference as much as it is the latency difference.
For an update, the low latency fix gravufo posted helped. It dropped my latency about 100-150 ms which is very impressive.
I also learned that T-Mobile will throttle my data if I go over 5GB per month. However I don't think that will be an issue since I have 2GB more to go and my cycle is almost up.
I was feeling there was an issue with my Note 9 compared to my Note 8 and P20p Thus i decided to do a speedtest. the phones were at the same place and nothing was using the bandwidth. Surprise. look at the video, and you will see. (N8 and p20 came with the same results).
I would like to ask some of you who already have it to test it against other phones to see if i'm the only one with this issue. I have the latest firmware on it and didn't test it before the update...but this is really not normal. I also feel it's just "slower" in general than the p20p...
check this link for the video
Upload video on Youtube plz
Yeah, as a network engineer I'm not going to touch random files on a Dropbox. At least link a speedtest.net result or the image.
I have my note 9 coming on Friday so I can put some effort into getting the optimal wireless connection (there's so many variables involved, I'm a wireless network engineer working for a wisp so all in my realm of knowledge) and give it a test.
I'd be very surprised if its a downgrade compared to Huawei, Samsung spend a lot of time on their LTE radios, now running on CAT 18, with MIMO, for a theoretical bandwidth of 1.2 gbit/s. Will know for sure Friday!

Can't find info on the chipset in the S9+, but I can find that they have MU-MIMO and 1024QAM, so it definitely should be quicker if you have a router supporting the above.

I'll be doing it for my own amusement so definitely happy to share!
Since the test was on WiFi, and not LTE the work Samsung has done on the modem is irelivant.
My question is, are they really on the same network? The results make me think that your Note may be hitting the 2ghz network not the 5ghz network.

Read the thead mate, it was a cache issue. I was only pointing out Samsungs dedication to connectivity, and I did follow up with somewhat comparable specs for the radio.
It could be a number of things, potentially more sensitive radio in the note 9 that struggles to handle interference, etc, it'd be pretty obvious to be on the wrong network.

Perhaps Mate, you need to clarify... first you wrote "shocking!" in the header of the thread, then in one post you said "Strangely i was able to when i cleared cache...." which didn't mean anything to me, and certainly not that you discovered the problem.
And no... being on a 2ghz network vs 5ghz network can be an invisible decision made by the hardware, and many networks are using the same network name. So it wouldn't necessarily be obvious.
For example, in my house, the network ID is "MyHouse" for both the 5ghz and the 2 ghz networks... the Chromecast is on the 2ghz network, and my phone is hitting the 5 ghz network. They see each other and is seamless.
Dude, I don't know one router that has the same SSID by default for both networks. Someone changing the network should notice the difference then.
BTW, I'm not OP, just someone helping.

so you guys testing your wifi speed using your isp network is telling us what exactly?
at best you should test locally but even there. if your network equipment is not on pare then again your testing with too many faulty variables and it won't show phones true potential.
ignorant people would state that a phones wifi has issues because upload speeds sucks compared to DL or just both seem slow.
but in fact what sucks is ISP internet package and not the phone. obviously other parameters like specific servers the test is being done on can co tribute to faulty 'online' test results.
so we have a few factors which make tests like these irrelevant:
-****ty internet package subscription
-****ty test server
-****ty home network
for cell data tests, well we need good weather and be near a cell tower.
but again this proves less concerning phone's capabilites as throughput but more towards signal quality.
and the average will be provider's coverage. how many towers they utilise and your signal strength in general in most common locations you visit.
*btw OP dude, do everyone a favor and correct your thread title...
i was tested on 4 devices, Note 8, XZ2, Iphone X and Note 9, so seem XZ2 always faster and winner

Sorry dude, but there's so many more factors to be able to throw any of this out. I really hope no one is taking this that seriously.
For one, I have no idea about the noise floor (background EMF noise level) on whichever frequency people have decided to run your AP. (Be it 2.4 or 5ghz, and then which channel, 2.4 ghz only really has three channels, 1,6,11, with the other channels just being overlaps. 5ghz has a lot more but usually everything is on 5180 (channel 36) due to DFS above 5250mhz in mos6 countries. Chances are all of you are suffering from interference.
Then we could talk about MIMO. Each MIMO chain nets you +3db so routers supporting MU-MIMO could see big signal increases just from both devices having multiple MIMO streams going on.
S9+ (and probably the note 9) supports QAM1024, essentially fitting more data over a link at once to the risk of needing a higher signal to noise ratio (this is where noise floors and interference comes heavily into it)
Every situation is unique, I think we should try and explore but please share your enviroment, I.e your router, where you are (apartment, house, city, rural etc) and then we can only start making sense of things.

but you have to agree that it is folly to report wifi speedtests using home internet and its limitations by the ISP as being a way to gauge a phone's capabilites.

No, I'm not sure I agree.
If you cable into your router and do a speed test, and use that as your comparison point, I don't see the problem with using a home connection to test.
I don't know what limitations you're talking about, in my experience for speed testing you're routed into the DC where your ISP has its presence then either a speed test server within your ISPs DC network or one right next to it in the same DC.

All 5Ghz devices can support 2.4Ghz networks and 2.4Ghz can reach speeds of 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps. On 4G data connection, you cannot even reach those speeds so 5Ghz seems pointless for a hotspot. Is there a specific reason it has to be 5Ghz?

But you don't need 5Ghz to game? As I mentioned " 2.4Ghz can reach speeds of 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps", so unless you have a mobile data connection faster than that there is not need for 5Ghz. A 2.4Ghz could easily serve the fastest speed 4G can reach.
But 5 is a higher number than 2.4, so it must be better......
Well, Geforce Now runs better on 5ghz, maybe it's just placebo ?* ? but it actually does ?
If you were super serious about gaming you wouldn't use wifi .

If we all had latest gen fiber at our homes the world would be a better place, sadly it isn't possible, no matter how serious you are.
hi i have the same problem with my pixel 3a!
My solution is a mini router for 20€, connect the mobile internet via USB to the router and then connect your devices via 5ghz WLAN.
There is a big difference between 2,4 and 5ghz !!
In practice 2,4GHz does not reach more than 30mbits and the more interferences come the worse it gets.
Over the direct Hotspot of the pixel only 25mbits are usable, with the extra 5GHz router this goes up to 70mbits, so there is a clear difference!
I play over Lte and it works absolutely perfect, I sold my gaming PC last month for 2400€, so I am very happy with cloud gaming.
Here are some advantages of cloud gaming, low power consumption, no unnecessary heat development, no fan noise, mobile use, no annoying installation or updates.
To use it properly you need about 50 mbits, nowadays you can get that almost everywhere, soon also in Africa thanks to Starlink.
I also noticed that cloud gaming, whether stadia (which usually doesn't work anyway) or GeForce Now works particularly smooth on my Chrombook. In fact, even my friends discovered this!
