Hi all,
I have this strange issue with the Youtube app on my Diamond. I posted about this in Dutty's thread and though it seems I am not the only one, no solution is knowd yet.
Here's the deal:
When I set the settings to HIGH QUALITY in the Settings dialog in the youtube app, buffering is extremely slow, it buffers with 1% intervals. I am using a high speed H network connection, and in the past I remember it would buffer with intervals of about 25-30%.
I tried different radio roms, different cooked roms (incl. stock rom/stock radio), nothing helps. It's not the locations because all other internet apps have fast internet.
Anyone knows about this? I'm kind of stuck here

+1 here! I'm using the Dutch T-Mobile with Web&Walk 1mbps internet and I have to say, that i'm indeed not satisfied with the YouTube app...
I personally think it's not the ROM or Radio, but the app itsself...
one day I compared my Youtube app with a good friend of mine with his..(Apple Iphone) and his was faster, eventhough his internet is crap speed.... about 256 kb
Anyone out here who knows about this and knows how this can be fixed?
Thanxx

I compared my speed with a Touch HD from a friend, same network (!), same location, both apps set to 'high quality'. Mine started buffering at 1% intervals, his buffered with 30% intervals...
Since I tried several radio roms, I tried a few complete roms (maybe my rom had an older youtube app), but every rom I tried was slow (even the stock roms).
I am completely lost here
SOLVED!
Jeroen: I finally decided to give customer support from T-Mobile a call, and guess what; they somehow downgraded me from web-n-walk plus to the normal web-n-walk.

Hey Mikkelnl
Thanxx for your reaction! I will give TMobile a ring now maybe it happened with me as well...
Thanxx mate!
EDIT: I contacted T-Mobile about my W&W and they confirmed it was still W&W plus....very weird....neway I have to deal with it I think....Could be my ROM now AZTOR V7...

Anyone else have issues downloading video podcast from rss feed?
I'm using Dutty's 5.2.19700 ROM and most of the podcast (audio) downloads stall out before the complete (over 3G)... I have no idea where the problem is but my internet connectivity appears to be OK otherwise.
Haven't tried the video yet but I think the results would be similar.
yeah when I use wifi it works fine, but cant over 3g/H
I have always had download problems with dutty's latest roms on att 3G, my downloads never seems to complete, it would stop somewhere before reaching half. I had to take his rom off as I'm big on downloads. right now I'm running shogun's beta rom and to tell you the truth its good for prime time so when it's released head over and give it a go.

Same issue here on Dutty's ROM
i know that the Kaiser lacks video performance...but...being that MobiTV comes preinstalled with the Tilt, i would have assumed it performs better than 1 frame every 3 seconds... I never did try MobiTV when i first got my tilt with the AT&T rom, this is my first time using it. I'm using my active sync connection (which i thought was the fastest) and the picture (ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A PICTURE) refreshes every 3 seconds while the audio plays.
Also the quality is horrible...

Works fine for me, the talking heads talk and move as expected. Sometimes it lags, but most of the time it doesn't.
The only time I've seen it go painfully slow is when I've been on AT&T's Edge network (which is atrociously slow, even though it's max capabilities can be faster, must be all those iPhones ) or when HSDPA is giving me less than 700k/s from DSL Reports.
Hope this helps!
Moving this to Kaiser software, as this isn't ROM related.

woops! didnt realize i posted in the rom section. thanks.
lol actually no it doesnt help, im not sure what to do to fix it..but thanks for the reply!
Sorry, if this was asked before, I did not find anything.
I have got the problem that a 3G connection frequently stops transferring data. The phone is still connected, but there is no more data transferred to the browser/youtube client et cetera. The only thing that helps is to disconnect and restart the connection.
Is this a known problem with some firmware versions or is my device broken?
i've got the same problem...
what is your provider? mine is o2 germany, maybe its a problem with their network...
also try a radio-update, it got a little better after that for me
maybe you just have poor 3g signal and keep dropping?

It is not a reception problem. My provider is also O2 Germany, but I use a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV with original ROM. Should not make much difference, though.
i just had a closer look at it and i guess it just hapens when the signal changes from 3g to gprs!?
I was also testing in the last minutes
You may be right, but I just had it the other way round from GPRS to 3G.
You say the problem is still there with the most recent radio ROM? Perhaps it can be tweaked somewhere in the registry like the MTU in desktop Windows etc.
i've updated to radio v1.00.25.BS14 an hour ago and untill now there are no problems at all! hope it stays like this...
That's great news, but until now I did not dare updating inofficial ROMs
Do you know which radio ROM is included in the most recent O2 ROM? I guess the upcoming official T-Mobile ROM will have at least the same radio version.
I have been experiencing the same issue with my handset. I had put it down to the network (T-Mobile UK). I will try upgrading to another radio and see if that helps.
Cheers
Aidan

I think this issue might be related to the radio...Ive just started testing the new BS14 radio and found it much better in the UK for holding its signal.....
I think you might want to try a new ROM-Radio
Maybe I have found a solution which does not need a reflash of the device.
I would highly appreciate if you people test it and report whether I am right or not.
The problem seems to occur when the connection is switched between 3G and HSDPA. So I tried to change the HSDPA Category to a lower value, since my provider has got 3.6 Mbit/s maximum anyway.
You do this via the registry key:
HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/HSDPACat
My initial value was 8, which is 7.2 Mbit/s. I changed it to 5 (5 and 6 are both 3.6 MBit/s, don't know the difference, though 5 seems to work better) and had no connection drops since yesterday.
I would be interested in the initial value set in your devices as well as in the maximum speed of your networks and the values it finally works with.
Not sure what HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/HSDPACat change did, but it did not help the stability. Overall here's what happened:
Default value 8 - download 1.8-25Mbit per sec
Changed to 5 - download dropped to ~0.8 - 1Mbit
Changed to 6 - download speeds 1.2 - 1.5 Mbit
The most stable connection seems to be with HSDPACat 6, though is still has problems every once in a while (average ~2 hours). 5 is a least stable for some reason, it could drop a connection anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes (random).
Trying the same changes with HSUPA enabled does not do much of a difference, except for slightly better responsiveness browsing the web (pings go down to ~80ms as compared to ~120ms without HSUPA enabled)
Mod, Im no longer asking about its performance. I flashed it and just am reporting my findings. I hope this is the correct section, if not plz feel free to move it.
It works. I crossed the street, where my signal always and immediately died. Instead it just stayed there. Used the speedtest app and again, 3g was switched over to H (whatever that is) and its about 150-300kb faster! On wifi im closing in on 6mb, before i was barely at 4mb.
this new radio changed my life lol.
This is very interesting... I would like some further response before I think of upgrading. Anyone else with it willing to share?
I consistantly gained (on average) 6db of signal. Measured same holding/sitting possition in two different buildings, flashed and measured again.
I flashed the downgraded radio(4.04.00.03_2) this morning and haven't noticed any real difference.
4.03 works way better for me.
I just flashed back to the 4.03.00.21_2 radio from 4.04 and can say the H/3G connection appears to be way more reliable (especially when moving), on my Nexus One.
On 4.04 , if I was streaming a podcast, Pandora or youtube HD feed, the connection was guaranteed to drop during my commute. Today on 4.03, I had no problems at all.
I live in Houston, if that makes any difference.
honestly, it seems like this new radio only helps those who already have bad reception. The trend seems to be that it wont perform as best for those who have great reception. weird huh?

yes the 4.04 is too sensitive 4.03 hits the spot for me as well
Hi there, this is my first post and I am new to flashing mobile phones.
I just flashed my i9000 with ICS333 2.0.1 (build IMM76L). Runs nicely most of the times, so: thanks a lot for that !
But: when I start web browsing, pages are shown extremly slow even with HSDPA.
On another i9003 with the same phone provider, this problem does not occur (runs smothely with HSDPA). And that did not happen with the same device before flashing.
Makes no difference if I enable or disable HSPA or "just 2 G networks" in settings.
Any hints?
I'm using same rom with the JW4 modem..... search for cm7/9 flashable JW4 modem...JW4 is the latest modem for i9000...I found it better than JVU..(standard on ics333)
Forgot to say: need it for Germany. Is the modem u mentioned the best for Germany?
Its for Europe...so in theory.. yes it should be fine.
JW4 is indeed better(Vodafone NL, I defin. got better signal, wifi speed and gps with it). You can also get it from here:
http://www.wuala.com/Nonamed/Modems ICS?lang=nl
Ok, I now have installed jw4-modem, and it runs a little better. Most of the time the ping now is much better in every web app.
But: the signal strenght went from about 85 (before installing the new modem) to now over 95. That seems a little contradictory to me?
And: at the same location the signal strength sometimes decreases to over 110 so again web services are not reachable, so it´s varying very much.
Any more hints?

try JQ1 or JVQ modem, those are the best for TMobile Germany and Germany in general.

Hi .. other than the JW4 (that I'm not sure it could solve the problem), I have improved the speed deleting the (modified, for no ads) hosts file in the folder /system/etc, because it's VERY (almost scarely!) large (>500kbyte!!!) .. that's means everytime we ping for a site, the browser has to search if the domain it's "mapped" in the hosts file ...
just to be sure to do not loose any functionality, in case just remember to create a new hosts file with only this content:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
I think that my internet experience now boosted a bit just confirm me if it works also for you! (obviously you will display ads now!!)
