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.
Hi I was wondering if there is an app or a program for my phone or computer or maybe some settings that will make barnacle faster or speed up my 3g connection. I am using my moto dx to provide wifi to my laptop then networked the connection to a wireless router to provide internet to my wii and stream netflix.....needless to say it buffers alot and if I try to play games it boots me out of the game and I have to start over. So if there is something that can at least stabilize my connection so it is dancing arourn from 0kb/s to 1100 that would be bad ass!!!!!!! Kind of a newb here so lamance terms are good. lol using barnacle and wifi tether
A g1 isn't exactly the faster running of phones, id make sure everything I can turn off is off. You can try another app too. And if all else fails the g2 can be perma root and run a wifi tether

Um.....my phone is a Motorola droid x rooted running barnacle and wifi tetherjust looking to make the net go faster the phone is plenty fast and capable of 3-4 megabytes per second but the speed is no where near stable I just want to keep the speed stable
oohhh i assumed you had a g1 since your in the g1 forum lol my bad. ive used wireless tether and have had no issues on all my androids so far. pandora plays great, no breaks
heres the link http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Yeah I goofed up and put it in the g1 forum. Anyway I have used wifi tether also and pandora works fine for me too.......I was just currious if any one knew of an app to make things go faster for streaming movies
As the title says for some reason when I am connected to my home router via wifi I am getting horribly slow connection speeds. Some games I've gotten require that you download a 250 or so meg file.however its utterly impossible as it downloads at like 40kb/s. I use to be able and sometimes once in a while I can get it to connect at 10mb/s and for a little bit it'll download the game at that speed too, but then revert to god awful speeds again, where speed test will go to something like 100kb/s down.
Any idea what is happening our how to fix it so I can always have the fastest speeds available?

Have you ruled out the router as the issue? The routers I have owned in the past have a "best used before" date so to speak... they seem to burn out and get awfully slow after heavy prolonged use.
If the router is good, information on your ROM might be helpful.
Try resetting your router to the default settings.
Oh sorry, I'm using the leaked froyo 2.2 update. As for my router I'm running ddwrt on a linksys wrt54g2.. I don't think its the router as I've got another computer connected wirelessly that seems to run fine..
Anyone having this issue? My hotspot is brutally slow. Most of the pages don't even load and when I can get a speed test to run, its below 1mb. The phones speed is standard LTE speeds of 20mb around this area.
Is there even anything Verizon can do about this or is the phone messed up?
Thanks.
Is it the offiical Big Red Hotspot ? or are you rooted?
I get 26mbps download on the 4g through the phone, and 12mbps on the laptop when using hotspot. Everything seems to be working as intended, could be a problem with defects.

Legit hot spot.
i have the legit wifi hotspot too. the speeds are all over the place. i have a problem with connectivity. i can only last a few minutes then it disconnects and sometimes reconnts or i have to reconnect it. sometimes my phone reboots when turning off the wifi hotspot. anyone else have similar issues? i do have to say that the usb tethering option has been flawless and very fast.
I have been using Hotspot on my rooted N1 flawlessly for years. However I recently noticed something weird going on. When my Hotspot was not working in the past it was because of network issues in my area. However, now I am noticing that the network is fine and I can browse fine on my phone, but when connecting my laptop to my phone using Hotspot I can not browse at all. I've done speedtest on the phone using speedtest.net mobile app and get great speeds and able to browse on my phone fine. Also It's not my laptop as I am able to browse fine when connected to any other wifi network. Anyone else experiencing issues with Hotspot?
XDA is no longer worth my time.
Yea I think I got throttled for being in top 5% and then some weirdness was going on in my area where my connection kept getting clogged and ATT had to reset my phone but it still seems to be working.
