Database Develop

speedtest.net app

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.

Rediscovering SuperPower v 0.80 BETA

So I was over in the Atrix forums the other night because there was someone over there who was wanting some help deciding if they should ditch their Atrix for the Thrill 4G. The overwhelming amount of posts about some of the hitches with the Thrill were in regards to the battery consumption and the RAM getting hammered with general usage.
Over here since a bunch of us are actively doing doing what we can to try and speed the development along having being trying new things and tweaking this or that in an attempt to make some progress toward real development.
Here is a link to what I said over there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17448824#post17448824
So I was running back through all the apps. and such that I had used in the past on other phones and hidden in my lengthy list of apps. used to get every ounce of power out of whatever phone I was jacking with, was SuperPower. I had the paid version but it has subsequently been ditched and redone it seems and now takes the form of a BETA.
This BETA I dropped onto my Thrill and started to go through the options that are available on this version that were not there before. You can now manually go into SuperPower and tell the app. what program you want it to kill when the screen goes black, how you want wi-fi and/or radios to behave, etc. It is extremely customizable.
Until there is a custom ROM and all that for the Thrill I think we are going to have to do our best to manage the few minute undesirables this device has with things like SuperPower. So, my end result as it stands right now on battery and RAM usage, I am using a few different apps. and I will list the links below for your convenience; is after about 10 1/2 hours of fairly mid to heavy use I was sitting at about 71 % battery life. Understand I let the battery go down below 20 % then charged it back up to 100 % with no interruptions in the charging process. You should do this at least once a month just maintain good battery health and longevity anyway. Especially on powerhouse phones like the Thrill 4G.
Now when I say mid to heavy usage this is my interpretation of that; regular talk time throughout the day, 100+ text during the day, market and music downloads, 2D and 3D gaming. When it was time to charge again I was at 13 or so hours with 49 % battery still showing. Not to bad as it was blowing through battery like it was free before.
Here are the apps. I used with download links. If you have questions or anything let me know or PM me:
SuperPower BETA v 0.80(*Must be rooted by the way to use this*)
https://market.android.com/search?q=SuperPower
Chainsfire 3D(*must be rooted*)
https://market.android.com/search?q=Chainsfire&so=1&c=apps
*As a side note besides the other great benefits this app. offers what I use to help with battery usage is the Night Mode feature*
SPB Shell 3D (*This is a paid app. and worth every penny IMO. But if you are not down with dropping the change for it use LauncherPro or one of the other free Launchers out there*)

Besides what I listed as benefits for SuperPower there are a ton more that I have not even touched on. This app is jam-packed full of modding goodness. get the app. and use at your own risk kind of thing and explore this bad boy because its a doozy. Lol! Hope this helps.

What are you doing specifically on the Superpower app to get such good battery life?

I think I am at the point that the best option....is to just return the thrill.
I tried using it as my dedicated device for a few days now and it just isnt working out. it freezes,locks up, bluetooth is not holding a connection ,just all around does not perform like I expected.
I really want to like it haha....i really like the overall physical feel of the phone. The 3d is great (after waiting a ridiculously long time for it to load) but it is just too sluggish and quirky for me to enjoy daily.
I am most likely going to start from scratch tonight and give it one more week....but without some major magical miracle (like fully working cwm, kernel development and the ability to flash O3D roms) i just dont see myself keeping the thrill.

Really. Mine flies through screen's and apps with Zero Lag including 3D. As far as it sounds to me, sounds like your phone is either defective or loaded with a Ton of apps running in the background constantly. If it's apps running in the background all the time as far as I recall Froyo didn't do the greatest at managing what to shut down and when. Either way goodluck.

Thanks! As for apps...that isn't the issue for sure. There are a number of things the phone does quickly but there are a few it does not. The camera does concern me. When I open the three d can it just goes blank screen for a while and then finally comes up.
Hell even typing at times everything will occassionally just pause for a few.
I haven't given up yet. I am going to hard reset and give her one more go

Try using taskiller and set it up to kill apps when the screen is off. That seems to work well for me with app management.

Personally, I have been using "Autokiller Memory Optimizer," which is NOT a task killer, but allows you to set memory limits.
This may be overly aggressive, but this is the setup I have been using, and it has been treating me very well. From top to bottom, in MB (from "foreground app" to "empty app"): 18 / 24 / 32 /100 / 125 / 150
I may tweak it down a little, but in general this setup has allowed me to multitask between apps really quickly, while Android "kills" the apps I'm no longer using. Highly recommended for (rooted) Thrill users!
While I'm at it, another useful (paid, requires root) tool for the thrill is "Autostarts."

With what I have done so far with SuperPower and such my phone is flying right along and running consistently with between 186 and 202 mb of available memory. So with the processor and RAM hauling ass I am loving this phone. I am can't wait for some some stuff to come down the pipe for this phone. There is definitely a lot of BS stuff running hidden that can slow it down but with SuperPower and the task killer and all the stuff I talked about when I started the thread I am so far satisfied.

Running mine basically how it came straight out of the box, no custom rom, only fancy apps I'm using are appkiller and setcpu right now. Battery life before I got setcpu was... less than desired. But when I got it and configured it to only use as much processor speed as I'd need for my "on the go" usage, I get enough life out of it to last me the whole day, and get home at 20% battery. What I did? Set it so it uses minimal CPU speed (30%)with the screen off, and in calls, and during normal usage it only runs at 60% and that's more than enough to handle my regular usage of texting, emails, calls, browsing, a little bit of gaming, near constant syncing, as well as a good amout of music streaming and maybe only about 50% standby time. Love this phone, dual core with half gig of ram is pretty much complete overkill as far as any phone goes. I fly through Apps only using 60% of the cpu's stock capabilities.now for the times when I'm out longer than normal (over 14 hours a day) I have it set to use minimal CPU speed at 15% battery life and less, in case of emergencies.

I'm returning mine. I either put too many apps, get too many defective phones, or just need a phone with more memory. Never had running out of application room on the Captivate or Inspire.
Camera can take up to 8-10 seconds to finally come on. This is a pain when I want some quick shots of the kids at the moment.
Mine also freezes up while I'm using the keyboard whether it's the stock or swiftkey or better keyboard. This is the 2nd thrill I've had and same issues. So that leaves pretty much the GS2 that's coming out. And Samsung scares me.

Until we get a custom kernel.....i am not aware of anything that will allow us too throttle cpu speed. what are you using? sure the apps will allow you to make setting adjustments yes....but those settings are not sticking (not on the apps I have tried)

I'm using the xda app setCPU it's a free download for site members and only requires rooting your phone. Note that the app only controls the max and min speeds of the processor, this isn't overclocking. I don't really know that much about the app beyond what it's supposed to, and seemingly succeeding at doing. Everything that I've done with the app seems to be working fine. I tested it with min and max at only 30% CPU speed (the lowest it seems to allow for), and I definitely felt it in the way my phone responded, the entire time (atleast ten mins) up til I turned the settings back up

SuperPower can throttle it up a bit. It is one of the settings to be checked off.
Open up SuperPower>scroll down to: CPU Scaling: Enable and check the box
Below that is a box you can check for CPU Scaling: ondemand
Like I said in my original post there are a fair amount of options that gives us the opportunity to have our devices running at their best. I appreciate everyone's postings about what they are trying and so forth. This is how it all begins to getting stuff done. Thanks guys.

Not a problem my good friend, I'm a huge fan of this device and the potentials it possess, I am glad to be a part of any improvements that can be made.

Can you post your setcpu settings?

I'm running my CPU at 600000mHz max and 300000mHz min for normal use, and babe a profile that sets it to 300000mHz max and min with the screen off. Have all my profiles set for "on demand" so it only ramps up the CPU when it needs it

[MOD][AT&T/GSM/HSPA+] Editing Build.prop for better network speeds

ok so I know there are some threads out there for editing the build.prop to gain faster speeds. after messing around for a long time and doing a lot of research i believe I have found some suitable numbers and i have noticed a significant increase in my speeds. Some as high as 14 mbps down and 1.05 mbps up. I am on AT&T so i have no idea what effect this will have on other networks. I was pretty much feeling like i was on edge so i did a lot searching to figure this out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-S...cess#HSDPA_User_Equipment_.28UE.29_categories i looked through this to see if i could decipher these categories.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982082 this is the original thread that got me started on this and i just went through and tested numbers until i got steady results and nothing blew up. a lot of people tried a lot of different values but these are the ones that worked for me.
So finally i came to the following edits for the vivid on AT&T
first if you dont know how to edit the build.prop do some searching then come back. its fairly easy but you can royally screw up so be careful and i take no responsibility for whatever you change. this is what worked for me.
once you are able to edit the build.prop
you are going to change the values at the very top to the values in the first screenshot that are marked
after you change those scroll down until you see the section that matches the second screenshot and change them. they are exactly the same as the above
finally reboot your device a couple times to make sure they stick and make sure you do a speed test before so you can compare the after. if things dont work out your old build.prop should be saved as a .bak . I have attached a screenshot of my new data speeds. i dont use my wifi anymore.
Again these worked for me and i cannot say that they will work for you. i am not responsible for what may happen if you edit the wrong properties as i clearly marked the ones you need to change. be warned but if you are feeling brave give it a shot.
I also have fairly good coverage in my area so this is not going to miraculously make your signal better but my speeds doubled. as you can see in the final screenshot.

Re: Editing Build.prop for better speeds (AT&T)
OK so I've played around more and made a few more changes one is the default mode. I switched it to gsm/cdma and throttling is the other. The default value is 1 and I changed it to 0 and have yet to see what it does exactly as there is very little on it. But my speeds have stayed fast and my reception seems strong. I am still researching the throttling value . I have attached a screenshot with the new values to change.

Re: Editing Build.prop for better speeds (AT&T)
So I've been messing around and changed my APN settings for att my speeds are stupid fast now i use this setup I use on aosp ROMs
APN name: AT&T LTE
APN: pta
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN type: default,agps,supl,hipri,internet
Make sure there are no spaces
You also need to set up one for MMS
APN name: AT&T LTE MMS
APN: pta
Mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port:80
Mcc:310
MNC:410
APN type hipri.mms
This has all the speeds up to lte as long as you are in an area
My speeds I just checked on lte were 28 down and 8 up that's faster than most WiFi.
I've never gotten those before with the stock vivid settings. Again this is only for att but the build.prop mod should work for any carrier

I can confirm a significant speed boost:
5 tests performed beforehand showed speeds generally at or less than 1000 kB/s, dipping down to as low as 688 kB/s
5 tests performed afterwards showed speeds consistently at or higher than 1100 kB/s, reaching 1500 kB/s
Upload speeds are, on average, more than doubled.
Latency (ping) is consistently low. This is all on a relatively weak connection, too (one bar).
Thanks, zippox.

ok so I tried the tweaks in the build.prop and I switched my one x out of LTE mode to HSPA and set the speed test app to better performance.
I tested this at 4:45PM and got these results:
1st test: 5 Bars with -67dbm, 6.65mbps down-0.99 mbps up
2nd test: 5 Bars with -67dbm, 9.03mbps down-1.05 mbps up
3rd test: 5 bars with -69dbm, 8.75mbps down-1.01 mbps up
Test's show 9.03mbps as my peak but that's probably due to a fair amount of network traffic around the 4PM hour. I will test again at 12 AM and 1 AM to see if there is a difference and will report back tomorrow.

Actually no it did increase to 11mbps after I changed the build.prop and since you said 11 is solid what you get I guess it may have worked.

How to get 6+ Hours screen on time!

ok so to do this you have to have a rooted phone and maybe custom rom for certain tips
1) not everyone will want to do this but, for me I mainly use my phone for things like facebook,chrome,texting,instagram social stuff and to be honest the proccesor at 2,2ghz in unnecessary for these apps, I would recommend people like me use the app 'setcpu' and underclock the phone to run at 1.2-1.5Ghz, i don't see any slow down! you can set things to change for example 'if gets below 10% it will allow you to underclock more to save battery' or if 'certain apps open it will fasten'
2) custom rom, use smart 3g, this will turn your phone to 2g when phones screen is off so you still get notification but is'nt draining as much battery
any more tips reply and ill add!

Could you give more details about your personal setup, like what ROM do you use and so on?!?

Everyone has different usage, so this won't help anyone.

Agreed. I can get 5+ hours on a Mixture of HSPA+ and WiFi overclocked to 2.5GHz.... too many variables including signal strength and how the phone is used.

I guess the CPU speed shouldn't matter since the nexus 4 is still butter smooth running at that speed.

I suppose really the claim in the OP is that these settings will give you over 6 hours screen on time. You're right that it will help some people, but it also will not help others. Perhaps a better thread title would be to state that these are tips to increase screen on time.

I've been averaging 5hours with LTE on all day one gmail account syncing email only. 2hours of Pandora various browsing on xda, eocf, overclockers forum, Facebook via browser about 20minutes of voice calls, gtalk all day with the wife, etc, etc. This is with every ROM I've run so far all with stock CPU settings. Also, currently running the linaro ROM with the linaro Franco kernel and the moto x dalvik patch extremely debloated.

This thread is pretty helpful to me. If you don't find it helpful, it's not required reading.
I'm considering setting up a Tasker profile to manage CPU speed. However, I'm trying to get an understanding of default behavior before I go changing it. I've been checking CPU range with ROM toolbox and the max seems to be changing. I'm assuming that this is due to throttling.
If that's correct, what is the absolute max set to by default?

sour grapes... it will help some ppl, not others... which goes for just about every thread at XDA.
I'd much rather see "partially helpful" threads than not. I can pick and choose which apply to me, rather than not seeing them at all.

Instead of using the steps in the OP, I just use DS Battery Saver and Greenify. It's that easy.

My battery life doubled when I knocked down the screen brightness from 2/3 to about 1/3. The screen is still plenty bright at that setting, and the battery is much, much better.

Yes brightness is a big help. I use "display brightness" which puts an invisible slider up the left edge of my phone screen so I can manually adjust to my liking

True, I guess there is a chance that someone will have the same exact usage as the OP. Same signal strength, same apps running, uses WiFi for the same amount of time, etc. I am wrong and ignorant. Thank you.

ok so to do this you have to have a rooted phone and maybe custom rom for certain tips
1) not everyone will want to do this but, for me I mainly use my phone for things like facebook,chrome,texting,instagram social stuff and to be honest the proccesor at 2,2ghz in unnecessary for these apps, I would recommend people like me use the app 'setcpu' and underclock the phone to run at 1.2-1.5Ghz, i don't see any slow down! you can set things to change for example 'if gets below 10% it will allow you to underclock more to save battery' or if 'certain apps open it will fasten'
2) custom rom, use smart 3g, this will turn your phone to 2g when phones screen is off so you still get notification but is'nt draining as much battery
any more tips reply and ill add!

Just fyi, your phone does not run that speeds at all time. You can also lower the minimum frequency and it will help alot. Lowering mine from 1100 to 600 helped a lot.

Youtube constant buffering over LTE

this goes for anyone who uses the youtube app but mainly for people using it on tmobiles network.
as of late any video in 720p or above buffers every 3 to 4 seconds.
if you go into youtube then go to settings--> General--> then enable stats for nerds. find any video that displays in 1080p and while in the video bring up the regular youtube menu for where u can select the quality u will see the stats icon...while playing the video in youtube i am getting a max of 175KiB/s over LTE... but when i run various speed tests i am getting 30Mbps average.
can anyone else with youtube recreate this issue? ive tested on three different tmobile phones all on different accounts and im trying to see if tmobile is throttling or if anyone else who doesnt have tmobile can see if its a youtube issue.

1. im with tmobile(in brooklyn), and that issue does not EVER happen here.
2. to me it sounds like you are having issues with your lte speeds. for me, my lte speeds are usually between 30mbps download and 60mbps download. nothing ever buffers over here, especially not youtube, and not in 2K HD either.
3. btw, what ia your download speed at the moment?

Like I said I'm getting 30mpbs down..

But even with your read ahead you are still only managing 170Kib.... That's dirt slow. Only reason our read a heads are different is because I took that screen shot right before a buffer. We seem to be having the same issue
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

well if is a solid consistent slow speed then it could just be T-mo throttling your video streaming. I get similar issues on AT&T, which people on u-verse complain about as well so it must be part of att's backhaul. You can try this app it works for me when ATT gets slow running through this VPN fixes it for whatever reason and its 100% free with no email signups or anything.

Actually I was just about to go through a VPN and u hit the nail on the head. It must be tmobile. Through the VPN I was getting 600KiB/s - 1mbps compared to 175 with out it. Now the only question is how do I approach tmobile about this

There's likely nothing you say that'll change anything regardless of if it's actually a network limitation or them throttling you. If it was throttling then it's probably hidden somewhere in the service agreement but since people in other area's are saying their's is fine then there's probably a bad hop somewhere in the connection between you and youtube.

Here in Germany there are also supsicions that Telekom/T-Mobile are sometimes blocking Youtube....don't know why and don't know how, but I have read it and had the problem myself some time as well.

I'm also in Brooklyn too, and the thing is this: we do get really good speeds out here, but the second you step in Manhattan, the speed drops tremendously. I'm averaging 5mb in Manhattan where I work. Meanwhile in Brooklyn, I'm averaging about 25-35mb. It's crazy how I get throttled in different areas.
