Checking internet (HSDPA) speed

Hi,
What is the best (accurate and easy) way to test and measure the speed of the internet connection (3.5G/HSDPA) ?
Any tool or website for this that work with the Kaiser ?
Thanks.

generally web speed tests are not very helpful, the file it makes you download is too small and some ISPs (and possibly phone providers) may optimise traffic to them. I normally download a 4mb mp3 file from my webspace and time how long it takes.

Where do you go to find HSDPA? I have enough trouble finding 3G areas around here...

Hmmm ... it seems does not work with the default Internet Explorer (IE) that is in the Kaiser.
It said "Your browser does not fully support JavaScript"
I got that problem on my old HTC Magician (WM2003SE). Even I tried to use Opera 8.6, and got the same problem.
I tought IE in Kaiser is better, but still the same problem.
Is there anything that need to be done?

Anyway, I got it. By clicking the 100k button. And the speed was 144 kbit/sec.
Which is quite good in my situation because I have capped data plan: 192 Kbit/sec (unlimited) !

I've just used Internet Sharing via BT and connected my laptop via 3G. I was actually surprised by speeds, as I've got ~150 KB/s transfer straight away, while Hermes/Vario II couldn't get faster than ~60 KB/s! Network: T-Mobile UK, location: central London (Old Street tube station area).

I have some questions about tethering and mounting

I wanted to know can i mount my g1 to my ps3 or xbox 360 so that i can read videos and music from it?
I also wanted to know if i can tether with my xbox 360 or ps3. Like connect to the g1 network on the ps3? And play online with the 3g network.

Haha I'm not the only one. I can't help you with mounting the drive unfortunately but I set my G1 up to tether to my Wii. I have dialup at home and even EDGE is 10-20x as fast and I have WiFi set up just for file sharing and the likes. But you have to have an existing WiFi connection (unless the PS3 or XBOX360 can connect to Ad-Hoc, the Wii can't, if they can just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474470 ) and set up iptables properly, explains it in the post, it's simple enough and then set the gateway to the phone's IP and you must have a DNS server, I use openDNS just set the DNS server primary to 208.67.222.222 and if you have the option secondary to 208.67.220.220. I hope this helps, if it's not clear enough just let me know what you need help with and I will do my best to walk you through it.
EDIT: I'm a retard I left you without the most important link. Here is the link for the part where you have an existing WiFi router setup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444004

Dial up....wow that takes some balls. I guess being addicted to fiber and 3g i dont think i can survive without it.

Lol. I live a mile too far into the country to get cable or DSL and about 60 miles from fiber in St. Louis. Funny how I have 5 bars EDGE all through the area and full AT&T 3G signal on my iPhone 15 miles away but I can't get cable. Oh well, that's what I pay for unlimited data for, and as soon as I get 3G i'll use my iPhone to tether instead of my G1.

to cannon you need your sd card formated to fat32 that should work. If not the only real way is to download linux to your ps3.
EDIT: i didn't read the topic and see you did was i bout to explain to you
genius based on what you just said i can help you get a connection to your wii and to everything in your house for tht matter anyone with a router i can help pm me and i walk you by the steps it take a minttue but it surely worth it. I once play (well set-up) my ps3 over a free dial-up connection (less then 56k) so i can surely help you.

Thanks for the offer but atm I got it set up but it is a PITA. I had to turn the router into just access point mode, turn off dhcp on the router, set the wii up with openDNS, and manage to set up iptables the hard way instead of just the AdHoc "tether start" command. If yours is any simpler please just let me know and I'll gladly listen lol.

I have a g1 with the 3g network, and I need some help on using the g1's network on my ps3. I also have a router as well; if this is needed. Can anyone help me?

i dont think you can mount the g1 to 360..
but on a ps3 you can.. i tried. i was able to transfer movies,music,and pics from ps3 to g1 and vice versa.
and you can wifi tether the g1 to the ps3 but 3g speeds is not fast enough.. plus what phone carriers dont tell u is that theres a data cap. so unlimited data is really not unlimited.
the g1 has a 10gig cap per month and the iphone has 5gig.
so playing online will quickly reach that cap and you will be slowed down to 50k for the remainder of the billing period.

AP Mode

Anyone have a clue, how to get this working in the hero? Adhoc just doesn't cut it.

not going to happen, the hardware does not support it.
what device or os won't join ad hoc? Ive even had ipod touch's joined to my ad hoc hero wifi network. I know windows, mac and linux will all join ad hoc too, so wtf?

Low cost Android tablets are having a lot of trouble joining ad hoc.

Ps3, or other phones

Psp! And yeah, other phones wont connect to ad-hocs either. But not being able to use game consoles is a major buzzkill.

DSL Internet? I know you already pay for your data but come on, gaming on it? Or are you counting on the lagginess to get you better KDR on mw2?

Only people who have played that sad campfest they call a game would understand how funny this comment is.

Gaming on evdo is ridiculous, but if you must do it you could always just use a pc/netbook/laptop to share the wireless connection over wired Ethernet to the console.
tethered internet from a hero is tolerable but I couldn't imagine trying to use it as a primary/only internet connection for any length of time.
why would you connect other phones to a wifi tether? each phone should already have a data plan so i don't get the point..

I have been able to setup my Linksys WRT54G with dd-wrt firmware flashed and have it use my phone's data and broadcast it through the router. The router is not inadhoc mode. I had to keep tweaking with all the settings to get it to work like I wanted. There are 2 reasons that I would not do it on a regular basis, especially if you are trying to play networked games.
1. The phone becomes really hot if you do not have it in front of a fan and can fry your phone
2. The download speed may be intermediate depending on where you are and the time of day, but the upload speeds can be very slow. Considering a majority of gamers have 6Mbs down and somewhere around 512Kbs - 1Mb up you will be falling behind.

how to bypass wifi restriction when uploading large video

i realise that when i try to upload some video files onto youtube from my phone, it says that i need a wifi connection to do so for large files. can't i use my 3G/HDPA connection?? this is ridiculous someone please help!

upz...anyone can help? =/

+1 I too am very interested in this, especially with a 4g wimax connection faster than some people's home DSL (not mine, but still)

[Q] Tethering help

Hi guys
I have a question.
I use my galaxy note to tether and connect to the internet with my laptop and my xbox360 at times, as the speeds and quality of service i get from my mobile provider are pretty darn good, its actually as fast as the standard 8mb home broadband that we get in this are at the moment.
I have tho discovered a problem with it, when using my note with the mobile hotspot active and connected via wifi to my xbox 360, the xbox shows the connection as being firewalled and restrictive, so it sometimes stops me getting the best out of it.
Do you guys know how to resolve this, theres no pc or router involved, just 360 and galaxy note, so im assuming the android system must have some kind of firewall system, or its because of the type of connection, and is there a way to maybe disble the firewall in the engineer settings or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does xbox support WPA2 PSK? Did you try open network?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thats a thought, yer the xbox supports wpa2 because it connects and lets me play games online, watch movies on lovefilm use fb etc etc, so no problems at all with the connection but no ive not tried it with an open network, i will try and see if it makes a difference, usually i dont use open networks because i have people in my area that tend to use others open networks so i try to avoid the issue by having it secure but thanks for the reply, i shall give that a go and see if it makes a difference.
