I dont know if this topic was brought already if so my bad
when im connected to wifi on my g1 the max dl speed I get is about 200kb per sec no matter what wifi connection I use
Is the wifi speed capped on the g1? Any suggestions?
It's so hard to mesure the internet speed on a phone, I wouldn't be suprized that it is a false readout. Also you have to factor in the network, other computers, phone overhead etc.
This is something I'm trying sort out with my wife's G1.
We're both at home using the Wifi router and I can download a 4mb file in 10 secs or so on my Nexus 1.
Her G1 takes forever then sometimes just times out, it like she's on dialup but we've rebooted, reflashed and it hasn't helped.
There should be no differnce as we're in the same room about 6 feet from the router.
Shes running Cyanogen latest rom with NO themes.
Any ideas?

I'm not quite sure what sort of issue is plaguing me, but I'm experiencing very slow browsing when using my wifi connection. It does not seem to be any sort of network issue, as I have several computers on the wifi that get great connections. I've tried several browsers, including IE, Minimo, Opera Mobile, and Opera Mini. All with similar results: incredibly slow/laggy browsing (speed tests are just painful). What seems peculiar is that sometimes, it will run very fast, then seem to "stick" while loading a page. For example, I might be on cnnmobile, then want to go back to my homepage, google. That can take upwards of 30 seconds at times, or just a couple seconds other times. Another oddity I've noticed is that if a page is "sticking", I can often refresh it and have it load up very quickly.
The potential issue that's been pointed out to me by several people is "proxy". I downloaded and installed a disable hidden proxy program from xda, but it did not seem to resolve the issue. If anyone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it a lot. Thanks
Is the normal data connection as fast as it should be or is it painfully slow as well?
To be honest, I have noticed slow WiFi too. Its not that much faster than my 3G connection (700kbps). For example, I just ran a mobile speed test from DSL reports through the Tilt's WiFi, and I got 1068 kbps with a ping of 213 ms. Compare that to a similar test on my desktop that got 4086 kbps with a ping of 36 ms. I really don't understand what's going on with the Tilt's WiFi. I mean, sure its better than 3G, no doubt, but come on. A ping of 213 ms when the access point is less than 10 feet away and the internet connection is wired! I know my laptop can fare better than that over wireless.
Is anyone else seeing numbers like these? Maybe its the encryption? Although, I am only running WEP on the router, because I want my DS to be able to connect with it.
EDIT: Well, I don't think its that. I tried disabling WEP on my router to see if it would speed things up. I got 1195 kbps and a ping of 226 ms. I guess that means there is a bit more downstream, but I would take these results with a grain of salt, because I still feel like the numbers are too close to call. Besides, the ping wasn't any better.
Oh, and just in case anyone is wondering, I am running the TCP/IP tweaks from KaiserTweak and I ran the tests with the phone disabled just to be sure.
You might want to try this....
-click start
-click settings
-select the connections tab on the bottom of the screen
-select the Wireless LAN icon
-select the Power Mode tab on the bottom
-slide the bar to "Best Performance"
weather it be wifi or wired tether, it loads websites extremely slow, despite the fact of a good test speed on my phone, any idea of why this is happening?

Wifi thether or whichever cant procees your IC's full speed. The G1 is limited by the data chip inside, so internet speeds wil be slower then your desktop/laptop.
Same for me. I've done a lot of testing on this. Any sort of tethering, for me, will not yield xfer speeds in excess of about 700k. That's over USB or BT. My phone itself is capable of around 3000k on Wifi (using the Speedtest apk), but much slower through the browser. Max speed tethering over Wifi won't be known till T-Mo starts rolling out HSDPA. But based on the 3000k link over the phone's Wifi, I'm hopeful that a HSDPA-to-Wifi speeds could be in excess of 700k.
Hi All
Had my HD7 for a few weeks now and im liking it, used to be an IPhone user but thats all changed now.
One thing i want to know is that the HD7 is stated as having wireless N capabilities. When im on my wireless N network at home im getting really slow responses from the browser or when downloading apps from the market place (like im on GPRS or non wifi). I have a wireless N network setup and also have 50mb Cable so its not a problem with the LAN/WAN as i can download lightening fast with the lappy or even when i had the Iphone on the same LAN.
Anyone else noticed that the wifi is not very fast? Also is there a "speed test" app that can tell me the sorta speed im getting, used to be one on the Iphone, but obviously cant be flash based, which are most on the web. Did find one non flash based site but im not convinced its that good.
Any advise is appreciated.
I use tracert's non-flash based bandwidth meter and seem to get low reading as well. my max. bandwidth is 15 Mbps yet my HD7 usually tests well below 10 Mbps. Odd. In terms of downloads though, my HD7 is speedy. I downloaded NFS from Xbox Live and calculated it was downloading at about 1 MB/s (which is fair for a 15 Mbps connection). So maybe the speed tests are off.
no problems for me.
It's weird that on IE on the HD2 you could use speedtest.net to test speeds, but on the hd7, it says you don't have the proper flash installed....
Hd 7 dosent support flash yet, maybe with update next year.. as far as I know this is the best device for my wifi although its not N
Hero used to struggle with my wifi but the hd 7 is super brilliant..
Just love it on this one
No problems here. And when it comes to browsing this thing is a pure joy ! Imagine when they will update the browser with Flash 10.1 and overall speed. I browsed today a little longer then usual and when I got home and turned my PC on it all felt boring. This is the first time I am experiencing a far more enjoyable browsing on my phone rather than my PC.
They have done an amazing job
mmm must just be mine then, an app from marketplace on the phone took about 3 minutes to download while on wifi and its just a small notes app. Weird! Ill keep having a look at whats going on.
It's surely something with your phone or with the WLAN. When I am home I am browsing only via WiFi and in my room I only get low signal but even then it runs pretty fast.
I have to disable cellular data and 3g to make my WiFi fast on my hd7. I'm on tmobile and in an edge coverage area. It seems that the phone prefers cellular data over WiFi even when there is a clear speed advantage in WiFi.
I have experienced zero problems with the HD7 over wifi. This is also with T-Mobile coverage in an edge only area. Settings allow for all network types including 3G.
Well im surprised because my experience in Puerto Rico with the hd7 on the internet speed its noe the best.
When use the app's for speed test never come colse to 1 mega and the faster speed its around 400 kpbs its T-Mobile or the phone really i'm think its the phone because my wife have an Lg optimus with android and the same t-mobile but the speed its around 1.2 and 1.5 mbps so if any one have the solutions wow i'm apreaciate to hear about.
Hello,
I'm having an issue with my HTC one. When I make a fresh connection to my router I get up to 35mbit but over the course of about ten to fifteen minutes the speed drops down to about 2 to 3 mbps and has even got as low as .4mbps. I then turn the Wi-Fi off and back on and I'm back at full speed again. Curiously the upload speed is never affected.
Any ideas? No other device on the network is affected.
hi there so i got my xperia z 3 days ago everything seemed ok until yesterday when i tryed downloaded a app and noticed it was incredibly slow over my wifi connection so i did a speedtest on speedtest.net and the download speed was 1.9mb and the upload was 15mb when i first got the phone i was get speeds of 40mb download and 20mb upload so i tryed a couple of things like resetting my router a hard reset of my phone and even reinstalling the software on sonty pc companion after all that ive still got the same problem one thing i have noticed though is when i turn the wifi off on the phone and then back on again i get a download speed of around 32 mb but then after say ten mins it will go back to 1.9mb im puzzled and hopefully i can find a answer to my problem

I'm going to assume you've verified it's not just congestion on the network and even your PC is getting slower than normal speeds?
For my experience the wifi of the phone is pretty crappy. My DL speed takes a massive hit once i'm over say 3 metres from my router in general the signal strength is pretty weak at best.
