Does HSDPA work? (H3G Italy) - LG Optimus 2x

Ok fact is: I did lots of tests over 3G but I never ever got over 5mbits tops (2AM tests)
Does it really work up to 7.2Mbits?
Anyone got experience of this?

The providers always write "up to" for a reason. You're most likely never going to reach that speed but that's how high it goes.

Yeah know the marketing, mate.
But since H3G also sells 42mbits internet keys I figured someone lucky must have seen faster speeds...
Otherwise it would mean they don't have the infrastructure.
And if so newphones would be a waste (thinking about getting a galaxy nexus)
By the way isn't there an app to show the connection speed like for wifi?

I assume that the people that actually pay for 42mbps should get speeds near to that. You're paying for 7.2mbps, correct? So about 5mbps is totally fine. There are apps to test your speed. Just search "Speedtest" on the market.

Man I work with computers,I know speedtest: that's how I got my 5mbits figures.
I was looking for something that showed the actual 3G stream speed, like you see 54mbits on wifi links (or even better the modulation!)

Are you testing the speed with the cell??
If yes you can't see over 7.2 Mbps because the specifications of the modem.

I doubt it 'cept the corporate AT&T people. They seem to be rolling them out 3-4 cities a year. So who knows. In OKC, it might be 3 months from now or 20 years from now.
The Thrill is not a LTE phone. The Thrill will never get LTE speeds. The 4G for the Thrill is HSPA+. The reason people call it faux G is that its not that much better than 3G. Check the coverage map online, you may already be getting 4G speed (according to att), and not know it. I saw an increase from my captivate to the Thrill, about 50% increase, but not enough to actually notice on a daily basis.
Att announced today their first LTE phones, skyrocket and vivid.

When you got the phone, did you just put the old sim card in from your old phone? That is what the at&t store did when I bought mine and I was not getting very good speeds. Went to the store around the corner from me and they replaced my old sim with one that said '4g' on it and the Rep said something about not getting hspa+ on the older Sims. Not sure about his reasoning, but I do get anywhere between 4-8mb down now. I can never seem to get over 1.08 up speeds though. It acts like there's a cap on it the way it is so consistent.

Just pulled it out and checked it. Plain AT&T sim. The one initially put in here was from my LG eXpo and came from my Incite from 2009. The Rep said that it needed a '4g' sim to actually get the speed. So he put a new one in. Can't complain as it worked.

Q: T-Mobile speedtest

Hello,
I am going to buy an international note.. what are its speeds for web browsing..
Speed test pics would be appreciated and videos
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

It would really help me out.. I don't know if I should spend 700 on the pink note. If I'm gonna have super crappy internet
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well the speed for web browsing is really fast on HSDPA+ (The highest one that you can get here in europe)
Found a speedtest on a german android forum.
http://fs01.androidpit.info/userfiles/411957/image/galaxy note 749.png
Edit:
Remember, that's not the highest value. HSDPA+ can reach up to 21,1 Mbit/s here.
This was with an international note?
But idk if it be the same for T-Mobile since were on 1700mhz
If 9mbps was reached there.. hopefully here as well

So buy a pink case or those sticker covers and you can make it pink. I'd rather have a fully functional device than a colored device. That is only if you need the speed. if not pink it up! Where I live I only get 3G. Not hspa+, when I go downtown I get hspa+ so it's not worth it for me nor a deal breaker.

I use an n7000 on tmo stateside. Its only 2g so speeds are horrible... roughly 100 to 150kbps both up and down. This doesnt really matter to me however, as im in wifi 99% of the time. The 2g works fine for gps, email and mobile versions of websites. But forget about youtube, or full version website surfing. One thing i havent checked is pandora streaming... might work ok.

I have the international note, and for the most part I get around 256k speeds at best. Depending on where you are located though they have repurposed their 1700 band into their latest hspa+, so if you happen to end up in one of those area data will be really fast. (sorry never ran a speed test with one of those connections) The problem is that is was mainly an experiment and they most likely won't continue not that they are moving to LTE, and the areas with this working are fairly rare.

Hsdpa + cm10

Hello,
I have a galaxy note under cm10 but i have a question. It have 21 mbits but i have feeling this rom don't have more than hspa. It is true?
Hspa+ has a theoretical limit of 21mbps but you will get nowhere near that in reality. Hspa+ will only connect then available, same with hsdpa, 3g etc.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
your network is shared with others, so you are bound not to get full speed.
If you have on contract andbit should be that speed, call customer support and explain how you measured it, check that you are in good reception zone andbshould get those speeds. It could be a breach of contract
However, note, some subscriptions cut of speed if over a certain amount of gb's. Check if you have not exceeded that.

There is something that can improve the perceived speed, but at the end it comes down to the raw network speed. And many times it's not the connection slow, but the sending server that is slow.

We're talking about the network speed, not the phone's. My phone has already been buttery smooth even when I was on ICS.
But showing speed test results aren't gonna help you anything with this phone. Your network speed is a 'given' situation where you don't have control over it unless you're willing to pay some more money to see improvement. I'm one of the lucky dude in my country to have constant 12 mbps network speed but I don't need to boast that here as I don't think it's gonna contribute anything to other users. Unless we come up with some tweaks of this phone to improve your network speed, I've always thought this kind of thread is useless.

The service is amazing over here at Verizon.. Data speeds are significantly better in every way.. Having LTE in the middle of a lake in Idaho is a plus..

I'm happy with my data speeds and coverage on Sprint. 40-60mbs is nothing to laugh at. Not many places I find don't have LTE anymore. Fast updates and no locked anything is a huge plus.

Then you're lucky, because there are still TONS of places that don't have LTE, including major cities. I was in Denver a few weeks ago and still had to make do with 3G just like I do at home. Also, 40-60 mbs is unheard of, even on Verizon and AT&T. My home wifi isn't even that fast. If that figure is even remotely accurate, you're definitely a (very) rare exception rather than the rule.

Idk OP, my service and bandwidth on Sprint's LTE is pretty solid, speaking as a recent convert from Verizon.
Ohh, I remember the good ol' days before Verizon lost their way. I was a Verizon customer during the release of the OG Motorola Droid, and that phone was like a development catalyst. I discovered xda thanks to that phone's development following. Everything I came to love about customizing kernels and roms came from that phone. ****, I remember what now seems like an ancient version of CyanogenMod for that OG Droid. I remember that phone out of the box was underclocked of all things, from 550Mhz down to 450 which made overclocking that thing to a meaty 1ish Ghz seem so beastly at the time lol!
Ahhhh good times :good:
Decent Sprint LTE speeds in College Park, MD
I get decent speeds (15-23 Mb down, 7-10 Mb up) on Sprint in College Park MD according to Speedtest.
Won't the speeds for the Sprint LTE towers drop for an individual once more people start utilizing it? I suspect some people are getting very high speeds because not a lot of Sprint users are tapping into the LTE bandwidth yet?

Close - it was a 600 mhz CPU underclocked to 550 mhz. I remember there were kernels that could overclock the thing all the way to 1.3 ghz. I've still never used another phone that could be overclocked that far past the native clock speed (by percentage, at least). Good times.
