Hello,
Recently took the CM plunge with my Nook HD+
Love how the lag and general sluggishness is gone, however, I have noticed something regarding streaming video. I work with a sports stats company that requires live game statistics. I have been using my tablet mainly for streaming ESPN, Big Ten Network, Xfinity TV. Since I flashed and rooted, I have noticed a pretty substantial lag in the games (If I open the application from the iPad or computer, I am noticing anywhere from a minute to 3 minute delay). Normally, you would most likely tell me "who cares", but since a major portion of the job requires speed and timeliness, I have been struggling with this lag.
Would there be any settings out there to tweak? It's obviously not the router, since before I flashed CM, it was on par with the iPad and computer versions of the app.
Thanks to anyone out there with assistance. Love what you guys do for this place.

If you can really guarantee that its not something else then just go back to the official. Make a backup of cm first so you can go right back if you want or need to.
Has anyone had any issues with tethering performance? The tethering works for me, but in my car I have a 2012 Nexus 7 mounted in the dash, and while commuting each day I play music and videos from Youtube. My last 4 phones, S3, Note 2, Moto X (2013), and One M8, have all worked as a hotspot just fine for the tablet, but I noticed with my Nexus 6, videos will buffer for 5-10 seconds every 5-10 seconds making them unwatchable.
Speed tests were also slow for the in-dash N7 (1-2 mbps), so I tried with my M8 tethered to the N6, and speed test results were better but it still cannot play video steadily. I have two N6's, and the one I was using was rooted and unencrypted, so I considered that maybe it was something to do with the unencrypted kernel, perhaps a bad driver, so I tested with my other N6 which is only rooted and it seemed to work better. I was able to stream video on every device except the N7, however it did perform better on speed tests when tethered to the encrypted kernel N6. The only device that I can get to stream Youtube when tethered to the decrypted N6 is the other N6.
TL, DR: My testing so far is kind of inconclusive, but I basically just wanted to see if anyone else was noticing anything similar and if you had any ideas. This is really a big deal to me, possibly a showstopper for me if I can't figure something out.

What is your license number? If you are watching videos while driving, I don't to be anywhere near you.
Yup...
I'm seeing insanely slow teathering speeds as well. On an LTE connection with my phone, data on the Nexus 6 is running real speedy like speedtest shows 54Mbps down, 20 up) but the connection on my Nexus 9 tethered to it is dragging butt at 3.22Mbps down and 3.39 up.
Anyone else got a horror story? I'm thinking there's some built in limiting going on here, which I like not at all. Bought my Nexus 6 from T-Mobile. Shouldn't make any difference with a Nexus device, but just in case something's changed, that may be important.
I did some more testing, and figured out that it seems to be related to the bluetooth being on, causing interference or something. Any device that I tether to my N6 seems to crawl if that device has its bluetooth turned on. This is apparently a known issue for the N7, but I have never encountered it before at all.
USB Tethering is fine w/bluetooth on
USB Tethering is fine w/bluetooth on. However, my wifi tehtering is only 0-1 mbps download with bt on.
Odd issue with my Droid Turbo. Google services and certain apps, including Reddit Sync, facebook and youtube, all lag/hang over wifi. Over LTE there is no lag.
I have a 6th gen (newest) Airport Extreme with firmware 7.7.3 (latest) and notice the same slow, laggy performance on the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network. Passowrd is a WPA2 Personal (AES).
I've seen reports so far on a lot of newer android devices (4.4.4 and lolipop) with slow wifi performance, not just the turbo. Curious if any of the other owners here have laggy wifi? Sometimes it will start to load and hang, hit refresh and it'll load 50% of the way, refresh it again and it will finally load.
I've tried a factory reset, clearing problematic apps cache, uninstalling and re-installing problematic apps, resetting router/modem, changed my phones wifi profile dhcp to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, no change in the wireless performance.
Only thing I haven't tried is a new wireless channel on my router. But since both 2.4ghz and 5ghz display the same problem, I ruled that out.
Funny thing is a speedtest over wifi gives me my full 100 down. Once it loads it's fast, just takes 20-30 seconds of lag before loading.
Thanks all!
I started a thread on reddit about it. Other Droid Turbo owners are experiencing the same exact issues. Posting a link for reference.

I've noticed the same thing. I've tried it from a netgear R8000 and a Asus rt-ac3200. Same exact thing. I notice it with chrome and google+ alot. Don't have a fix though

Thanks for the reply. I was waiting to see if anyone else experienced these problems before I posted back.
At least for me, this slow and lag filled wifi experience is ruining the droid turbo. Fingers crossed issues are resolved with lolipop

I chatted with moto last night about the laggy and poor ranged wifi and a couple other issues. I have a screen flicker when using google messenger and capacitive buttons stop working at times. They had me factory reset last night (which I really didn't want to do). They said if it doesn't help they will send me a new device.
I've had a weird half-load the page, stall, then finish loading thing going on for awhile (droid turbo).
Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, all behave the same. Speed tests are fine, I've had zero wifi
connectivity problems other than the antenna is weak on these phones, IM/SMS works fine,
I seem to get the stalls in youtube but not netflix that I can tell but that's some pretty
iffy observation. The page loading behavior is steady.
I think that it loads fine on LTE, I can click wifi OFF when a page is stalled and it loads.
I can follow the same link and open in a different browser and it'll load right up if I leave it on LTE.
Something is up, I can't tell what but it's been there awhile now. It's really, really, really annoying.
Factory reset didn't fix it, and it did it with no apps installed.
If L don't pop up soon and fix this, bye bye Turbo, will miss your battery..
I'm getting a replacement device for the screen flicker. Let you know if it helps any of the page loading problems but I doubt it.

I'm not holding my breath but I bought this the day it came out. Unless the early ones had a problem I expect to see no difference. The lack of replies here either means no one has the problem or just lack of commenting.
I have the slow loading also. I did the factory reset but it seems as I put more apps on it's getting slow again and stalls at times. would a new device fix this?

I got a new one today but didn't have a lot of time to play with it. It came late due to the snow then I had to go snow blow. Google+ is definitely way better but Chrome pages still stall during loading. I'll update when I have more time to play with it. Any apps you want me to compare?

Hey, glad you got the replacement! The play store always stalls, along with reddit sync. If you could test either of those, that's be great
Thanks much man!

After really playing with it I don't think its any better especially on Chrome. Google+ is the only thing that seems improved. I have tried it on all of the newest ac3200 routers as well.
On the plus side my battery life has been awesome. But still the wifi sucks. My old device had a build date of 9/28. The new one is 11/8.
I still kinda think there is a router chipset that the Turbo doesn't like. I have this problem at work, despite it being a 100/100 connection. At home on 50/5, its just fine, be it 5ghz or 2.4.

This is sad, I will be sending mine back and just wait for the m9 plus. I didn't realize how much I used wifi until i starting having wifi issues.
Thanks for the update

I feel the same way, but am beyond the return period. I started a broader search and it seems like the Moto X has similar wifi issues. Maybe it's more of a Motorola issue.
I'm using a 6th gen airport extreme, how about you?

I started off with a Netgear D6230 , Then I bought a ASUS RT-AC87U and saw no difference so I returned that and kept my D6230 . I had no problem buying a new router but it was only 6 months old and made no sense. My ipads ran fine on both routers along with two xbox's, GS4, GS3, Samsung TV Roku. BTW I ordered a Nexus 6 , I will miss the battery life.
Same issues here. Hope to get some traction!
Here 's the thread on the Motorola forum about the turbo app data lag over wifi.
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/06a2f3c5ca
Thought I'd pass it along.
I have a netgear r7000 and r8000. I've noticed if upnp, usb features are enabled, or dhcp is used, these erroneous issues tend to occur. Since disabling, i haven't had any of these issues. Also comcast turned up ipv6, which was also an issue...disabled in the routers and in my switch, and issues disappeared. Turbo wifi works excellenet
Hello All,
Just got a nexus 6 and went ahead and installed a custom rom (Pure Nexus).
Not sure if its a ROM issue or not (Trying a different rom shortly), but my wifi is terribly slow. I put it next to my amazon fire tablet and ran a speed test multiple times.
Amazon - Avg is 15-20
Nexus is 5-7
I have read some forums that says changing the band helps or forgetting the network and readding but no luck.
Anyone else have any tips before I have to send it back for a new one?
How old is your router?

Less than a year. ATT UVerse provided router.
No problems here, I did a 135 down and 50 up on Comcast router
Looks like something with the Rom. I put Chroma on it and now get around 20 down. I do not think its app related as I just restored all using TB.
Going to clean flash pure and try again.
It's not Pure Nexus, but something else. I'm getting 160 down, 12 up (802.11ac) on Pure Nexus. Have you updated your device's baseband to the latest?
Stock ROM, 802.11n, reaching ISP cap of 60/10 on web speed tests.

Found out it was a rogue app that caused it. Thanks for your responses. Can you point me to the latest baseband? I saw the Modem Collection thread here but the latest looks to be for the M preview back on 7/10?
Go to Google's firmware page and download the latest firmware package. Extract the files inside. I believe there will be an additional archive in the firmware package that you can extract that will contain the radio image.
I was having slow WiFi issues too. I updated the firmware on my router and switched the channel and now it flies.
That's not so easy to do when the entire 2.4GHz band is congested with connections, as it is in my area. Simply changing the channel didn't work for me, and I had to get new hardware that supported 5GHz. The gamers and video watchers in the house all appreciated it.
Other phone is same?
my problem previously was the same..i tried it with stock and aosp based roms, then i went to asked my sister to call our isp.. and the technician was able to verify the problems.. it was our internet cable.. they replaced it and it worked back to normal..
I had a similar problem, but only with the 2.4Ghz band, I live in an apartment complex and in Los Angeles so it's even worse. Luckily nobody uses the 5Ghz band so that works fine for me.
Update but found out that the issue is that my wifi slows down when my BT is on. Does not have to be connected, just have to be on...
Another Update is that I found out the combo is...
Wifi Connected + BT on (Does not have to be connected) + RetailMeNot App
I froze RTMN and now there is no slowness.
So the app is the culprit, not the combination of bluetooth and WiFi. Good thing you got it sorted.
I've been testing my Fi android one x4 on Verizon off and on the last week. Generally all has worked fine. Reception has been similar to my S3. But the one area I am having issues with is internet connectivity. Most of the time it works fine, but when streaming music it will get 'stuck' and pause. When this happens if I switch to a web browser, it too gets stuck loading a page. it may stay this way for 15-30seconds. Sometimes it'll start back up fine after, other times it will be bursty as if it were having buffering issues.
I've noticed this with Pandora, Spotify as well as 2 classical streaming apps. If i move my Verizon sim back to my S3, I do not see this issue on the S3. It will stream w/o an issue for hours. Same is true for the x4 if I pop the Fi sim back in. Note in all these cases it is operating in cellular mode (not wifi) with mid-level LTE signal quality - for both the x4 and S3.
has anyone seen behavior like this? Or know if a different android version or firmware image is needed for optimal Verizon behavior? Googling and searching here hasn't found a related issue. Right now my lineageOs based S3 is the best choice if I end up sticking with Verizon.
Note at this point the phone (xt1900-1) is still unrooted Pie.
Thanks
