It's kilobits.. that score is under 2meg.

yea i did a retest using a different server. theres a newer screenshot up. 2megs!!

lol...if it was 7.2..... it would say 7.2 on that speed test lol
and the link you updated is not up

damnit image shack!!
ok try now. new link
7.2 isnt the transfer rate. its the network size. transfer rate will never be at 7megs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access

hmm... 7meg transfer rates?? im sooo out of date. maybe tmobile capped it???
ok just used mobilespeedtest.com and did the 3meg test and resulted with 4082kbps. im not liking this speedtest.net app.

use xtreme labs speedtest
and 7.2 transfer rates are possible but due to network traffic, it will probably be much less.
what did you get before?

mobilespeedtest has alrdy been proven to be false and misleading.
and 2meg is actaully pretty normal depending on ur area.

the xtreme app will only work once then i have to reboot. but with it i do get 400-500kbps down. same as when 3g first rolled out. signal stregth at my house is not all that good. so to see 2megs down after my 3g signal dropped for about 30mins alerted me to what tmobile was up to.

I get 751Kbit/s down and 151Kbit/s up in downtown Seattle area.
Since T-Mobile US is headquartered about 20 minutes from here, I call BS on them upgrading the speed, as I'd think they would do it near HQ first.

Build.prop settings for HSPA+ cities-necessary with Froyo?

Tmo here in Orlando and HSPA+ switch is on, however, I can HSDPA speeds of 3-5mbps which is great! My HSUPA speeds seem capped around .58-.68mbps though, not the 1.2+mbps that others are seeing. Do you guys have settings or extra code lines set in /system/build.prop file?
I had:
HSXPA=1 or 2 doesn't make a difference
gprscategory=12 or 10 no difference
HSDPA=8 highest the N1 is capable of
HSUPA=4, 5 or 6 no diff, still .58-.68 upload speeds
Have any of you guys modified the build.prop file with HSPA+? Is it needed at all?

I've been getting 1.3Mbps upload consistently in NYC since January using both stock and modded Cyanogen ROMs, including FroYo when I was testing a few weeks ago.

Can you check your /system/build.prop file and see if there are any entries for ro.ril.hsupa=? ???

Yeah I'm 10 minutes outside of NYC and get nowhere near that speed.

my opinion, you can not "tap" into a network that isn't available in your area.
So trying to set your prop to any settings for a faster network, is time wasted.

Your opinion doesn't mean anything, because not only is it an obvious fact you can't use a network that isn't there, but he said that Orlando DOES have the HSPA+.

Thanks for correcting my mistake

The local network appears to be capped at .6Mbps for you, something you'll have to take up with your local engineers. They'll probably increase upload soon, if they will at all.

I've found you don't have to edit the build prop when using any stock ROM. Only when using cyanogen do I lose hsupa, then I have to fix my build prop.
For example, on stock 2.1 and 2.2 froyo, I get 1.5 mbps upload. As soon as I load any cyanogen ROM, my upload immediately gets capped at 384 kbps. I edit build prop to set hsxpa=2 and instantly my upload goes right up to 1.5 mbps again.
And this makes sense, because Google is selling a 7.2 mbps down / 2.0 mbps up phone, right? So they have the maximum hsupa setting by default. Setting it to anything less makes no sense because the phone will always connect to The fastest connection available in any given location. There's on reason to ever set hsxpa less than 2 in the build prop file, cause that just artificially lowers your connection. I've always wondered why cyanogen ROM had this set like that. Never made any sense.

The exact same thing is happening to me in Lancaster, CA. I get 150-200kbps down on edge and for the last few day on 3g I'm only getting 50kbps down... on top of my gps not working and noone knowing a fix I'm starting to wish I had bought an iPhone...

I suggest you try eViL D FroYo ROM. It comes with the build.prop tweak. With stock Froyo you need to add it on. Not sure if it makes a difference, I didn't notice any when I did it. But you got nothing to lose if you try.

rhjay what speed do u oc to for those high ass mflops...

I am in orlando and notice that the download speeds are much better than upload speeds when considering what others are getting.
I think it might just be our area

[Q] Slower data speeds with Stock Captivate 2.2??

YES, I did search for this before i posted. Found no one with this issue:
Has anyone been having slower data speeds since upgrading? I was most likly the very first person to put this one my fone at 10am when it when live...that said, ever since then, using the Speedtest app, i have YET to get over 2mbs DOWNLINK speed.
In fact, both Up and Downlink speed have been completly SUB-megabit. If i ran it 50 times from the day It was released till now, there have been only 2 times where i have gotten 1+ megabits.
I dont live in a bad area(for the most part); just in Springfield MO. Proir to 2.2 my speeds ranged from 3 ish downlink and around 1megabit uplink....not terribly fast by any means but now, its a helluva lot more annoying...
Any opinions, help, advice, criticisms, or the like, from anyone??

Removed unhelpful posts...please dont bother posting a reply if you have nothing helpful to say.

Were you running stock before or were you running a custom ROM/kernel/modem? The modem is the most likely culprit. I personally am not running the KB1 update that AT&T pushed out but I have seen some posts here and there with people mentioning a drop in data speeds. Is HSPA running on your phone when you are testing?

Everything was stock proir to me updating, nothing at all custom. I was rooted and had the OneClickLagfix 2.0 installed (which i fully removed before updating). But that was it..
Yes HSPA was on. I used one of the codes(well, an app that has a whole list of the codes) ud use in the dialer to check. Both "HSUPA" and "HSDPA" had a "[1]" next to it, so i left the option to leave it "on", alone so i wouldnt mess up anything. My speeds have ben horrible; any update i have takes way too long, and im still getting sub-mega bit speeds even as we speak...i may email, or go to the store to see what could be up..

[MOD] Bell OTA GB Radio N_01.77.33P

Created a CWM zip with the Bell OTA GB radio and successfully flashed it.
if you use this feel free to let me know if it works for you.
Thanks to NFHimself as I believe it was his leaked radio zip (correct me if I am wrong as I can't find the thread I got it from) that I simply updated.
http://www.4shared.com/file/Jcy5-1du/Bell_OTA_GB_Radio.html

Just installed it over Alien ROM. Download speeds are comparable to .30P, upload speeds are a bit better. One noticeable improvement though is that it takes less time to achieve a data connection when the phone wakes up.

can this be flashed onto AT&T?

You can, but if you're on the ATT network and have an ATT phone, then you should probably stick with the ATT radio.

Why is that?

I believe it's because the ATT baseband version has been optimized to work with the ATT towers.

For sweets and giggles I flashed this on my phone running CM7 Pre Beta 4 on AT&T and I am getting .5mbps faster download and upload all around.
*NOTE*
Seeing as how we all live in different areas of the world everyone's results are going to differ tremendously. What works for me might be sweeter for someone else. So this is just a little word to the wise.
I am NOT telling anyone to flash this on their phone. I am simply saying IF you decide to flash it, you'll most likely get way different results than I did.
It's not my fault nor the guy who made this thread if you sweet your sweet up

could i test on International with Cm7 Pb4?
now i'm running 1.00

on cyano signal in italy with h3g. i use at&t version no international. For me reception is worse to previous version. Internet is better

I did have speed trouble on first boot, second boot took care of that. - food for thought.
Glad its working for you.

jump from 3g to Hspa many time...
Cm7 on Europe Atrix...
Now this night i'm testing1,97...flashed with sbf...

this is running perfectly for me... my phone used to run really hot, surprisingly since ive flashed this its been running comparatively cooler... havnt really measured the d/l speeds but it seems a bit faster. all is well

Same here, I'm on ATT... seems to be better reception and everything including faster speeds. I recommended this now for USA ATT... (Atlanta GA Location)

I haven't done extensive testing but when I first flashed this the reception at home was MUCH improved. Never ran any speed tests to get numbers.
Here at work where signal is quite poor due to radio equipment my signal is also quite a lot better. Speed tests were great from a relatively dead zone in the office too. Awesome!
I'm using a Bell Atrix on the Rogers network.

2 questions, how is your phone's temperature? Specially when playing games or been using the phone for long time or multi tasking?
and if I didn't want to use it after flashing it how can I undo it?
Thx

The temperature's been fine but I haven't been paying a close eye. If it were anything out of the ordinary I'd pick up on it though.
You can flash a different radio if this isn't working out. N_01.11.30P is fantastic as well, but I think this may edge it out. If I'm not mistaken it sounds like the voice quality of calls have improved by quite a bit.

I just flashed this radio after i posted my question. Reception was never an issue for me anyways, so don't know if it has changed. I played HD game for a bit and same result as others, my phone's temp went up to 40 C in less than 10 minutes. I have not seen any radio which can fix this stupid heating problem. With Stock Froyo, never had to worry about temperature issue at all, ever since I have flashed different ROMS and kernels and radios, I haven't found any which is as good as the stock bell froyo.
Voice quality seems clearer and download speed seems a lil higher though.

I just got off the phone with my wife and this call quality has definite, definitely improved.
I talked to her at work in a relative dead zone and the call was quite clear as well. Thanks for sharing this radio!!

[Q] VZW throttling UDP plans?

Hi,
Maybe I have a bad phone or some kind of weird configuration error, but I noticing that speedtest seems to not being able to go any higher than 20/20 on my Nexus 6.
Did the test on several places around NYC, no matter what, same result.
I'm stock, bootloader unlocked and rooted, nothing fancy or changed and my usage is less than 10GB a month.
My question is, does anyone else has the same problem?

..and way lower numbers as well.
of course when ppl post speed tests, they usually post their highest numbers, and not low numbers. but, as always, speeds vary 100% of the time. if your network is busy, youll get lower speeds, when the network is slower(like 4am) youll get higher speeds.

Agreed on all accounts, but like I said, just so strange that no matter what, it seems to just not pass 20.
