Cellular strength and throughput - Huawei P10 Real Life Review

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei P10's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.

nice post

The P10 has the worst radios i have ever seen on any phone, forget a flagship. It it the first phone i have come across which is not even able to work on 2G in areas where the network is bad. As a result, it is an otherwise good phone which cannot perform its basic duty - to make and receive calls!

Because you bought a phone with C636 customization (Asia) and not C151 (India). there are different bands enabled so thatswhy you have so poor signal. Better read something about it, then spam threads

Sorry for spamming, but I was desperate for a solution.
Thanks a ton for the info about the roms for different countries, despite all my searching I missed it
Now please please say there's a way to flash the C151 rom on the C636 without an unlocked bootloader (and thus root) !! It would be a lifesaver for my $300
Have tried DCUnlocker lots of times but it just doesn't read the phone info. I am on the Nov patch thankfully.

you cannot rebradnd without ROOT.
You can try to use funkyhuawei to get unlock code, and unlock bootloader, then you can rebrand the phone to what ever version (there are threads about rebranding the phone).

BTW, my main complaint in the post is that the phone does not catch even gsm signals well, and gsm frequencies (900/1800) are common to China and all countries in Asia. So it would not matter which region the phone is for.

Just to prove that the Kaiser CAN do HSDPA

Thought I would share, just so people can see that the Kaiser does get a good throughput as long as in a supported area.
Maybe I missed something in the board, but for me a working hsdpa is normal...
Sweet, I wish they would crank up the speed by me. 1mb/sec is still pretty good for me.

I was not saying HSDPA was not working, just people have been saying they are getting sub 1Mb/s speeds, I was just showing that proper high speed is available if you are in a supported area was all.

[Q]The most stable rom with the 3g network?

Hello. I'm looking for the most stable rom which can give perfect works in the 3g network. Now I using f1 rom but the speed of 3g is very poor and not stable.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Hi there,
at first, you should decide, which android version you want to use.. if you're looking for most stable, e.g. most tested and proofed stable over time, I'd personally recommend darky's rom http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/darkyrom-v10-4-2-xwjw1.6577/ v10.4.2., which is based on latest Gingerbread Samsung sources. (a good guide for flashing, coming from different ROMs, is included.)
As for a rock solid Kernel, I'd go for the Speedmod-Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519
To get the most out of your 3g network, you should then flash different modems to test which one serves best in your region. Modems are tuned to different regions and carriers. Here is a comprehensive list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9579987#post9579987
My Personal analysis : It seems that the the top rated modems are the ones released in built up areas/countries/regions, and i designed to use more battery to give the best results especially when it comes to GPS Lock & Accuracy, Network, Speeds & Coverage. This does make sense, so if your in a built up area and use a modem designed for a less built up area which requires less power your not going to achieve goods results on paper, but if you use a modem designed for a built up area in a area that requires less, then your results are going to be sky high BUT might be to high and in turn drains more battery power than needed. So yes Modem's are clever little things, you have to find the right balance for your area, network, coverage, GPS and so on.
JPP is considered the TOP modem preference (See points below) BUT its uses alot of power to get those results.

[FIxed]Note 9 vs p20 pro Download speed

I was feeling there was an issue with my Note 9 compared to my Note 8 and P20p Thus i decided to do a speedtest. the phones were at the same place and nothing was using the bandwidth. Surprise. look at the video, and you will see. (N8 and p20 came with the same results).
I would like to ask some of you who already have it to test it against other phones to see if i'm the only one with this issue. I have the latest firmware on it and didn't test it before the update...but this is really not normal. I also feel it's just "slower" in general than the p20p...
check this link for the video
Upload video on Youtube plz
Yeah, as a network engineer I'm not going to touch random files on a Dropbox. At least link a speedtest.net result or the image.
I have my note 9 coming on Friday so I can put some effort into getting the optimal wireless connection (there's so many variables involved, I'm a wireless network engineer working for a wisp so all in my realm of knowledge) and give it a test.
I'd be very surprised if its a downgrade compared to Huawei, Samsung spend a lot of time on their LTE radios, now running on CAT 18, with MIMO, for a theoretical bandwidth of 1.2 gbit/s. Will know for sure Friday!

Can't find info on the chipset in the S9+, but I can find that they have MU-MIMO and 1024QAM, so it definitely should be quicker if you have a router supporting the above.

Here you go guys. will update the original post also
https://youtu.be/xEOVgHz7dhg
PS : for information i'm on Ubiquiti hardware here.
Strangely i was able to when i cleared cache....
Aha, well, I'm UBWA certified actually
We're bound to see some minor oddities like such before launch, nice to know its not the phone!
not that shocking to be honest shocking would be getting like 2mg dl not still nearly 50 lol

Shall do!
I'll be doing it for my own amusement so definitely happy to share!
Since the test was on WiFi, and not LTE the work Samsung has done on the modem is irelivant.
My question is, are they really on the same network? The results make me think that your Note may be hitting the 2ghz network not the 5ghz network.

Read the thead mate, it was a cache issue. I was only pointing out Samsungs dedication to connectivity, and I did follow up with somewhat comparable specs for the radio.
It could be a number of things, potentially more sensitive radio in the note 9 that struggles to handle interference, etc, it'd be pretty obvious to be on the wrong network.

Perhaps Mate, you need to clarify... first you wrote "shocking!" in the header of the thread, then in one post you said "Strangely i was able to when i cleared cache...." which didn't mean anything to me, and certainly not that you discovered the problem.
And no... being on a 2ghz network vs 5ghz network can be an invisible decision made by the hardware, and many networks are using the same network name. So it wouldn't necessarily be obvious.
For example, in my house, the network ID is "MyHouse" for both the 5ghz and the 2 ghz networks... the Chromecast is on the 2ghz network, and my phone is hitting the 5 ghz network. They see each other and is seamless.
Dude, I don't know one router that has the same SSID by default for both networks. Someone changing the network should notice the difference then.
BTW, I'm not OP, just someone helping.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/4187326458
Though i would add my results here also, Verizon snapdragon model. Definitely seems like something is going on with your test. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/4188275993
so you guys testing your wifi speed using your isp network is telling us what exactly?
at best you should test locally but even there. if your network equipment is not on pare then again your testing with too many faulty variables and it won't show phones true potential.
ignorant people would state that a phones wifi has issues because upload speeds sucks compared to DL or just both seem slow.
but in fact what sucks is ISP internet package and not the phone. obviously other parameters like specific servers the test is being done on can co tribute to faulty 'online' test results.
so we have a few factors which make tests like these irrelevant:
-****ty internet package subscription
-****ty test server
-****ty home network
for cell data tests, well we need good weather and be near a cell tower.
but again this proves less concerning phone's capabilites as throughput but more towards signal quality.
and the average will be provider's coverage. how many towers they utilise and your signal strength in general in most common locations you visit.
*btw OP dude, do everyone a favor and correct your thread title...
i was tested on 4 devices, Note 8, XZ2, Iphone X and Note 9, so seem XZ2 always faster and winner

Sorry dude, but there's so many more factors to be able to throw any of this out. I really hope no one is taking this that seriously.
For one, I have no idea about the noise floor (background EMF noise level) on whichever frequency people have decided to run your AP. (Be it 2.4 or 5ghz, and then which channel, 2.4 ghz only really has three channels, 1,6,11, with the other channels just being overlaps. 5ghz has a lot more but usually everything is on 5180 (channel 36) due to DFS above 5250mhz in mos6 countries. Chances are all of you are suffering from interference.
Then we could talk about MIMO. Each MIMO chain nets you +3db so routers supporting MU-MIMO could see big signal increases just from both devices having multiple MIMO streams going on.
S9+ (and probably the note 9) supports QAM1024, essentially fitting more data over a link at once to the risk of needing a higher signal to noise ratio (this is where noise floors and interference comes heavily into it)
Every situation is unique, I think we should try and explore but please share your enviroment, I.e your router, where you are (apartment, house, city, rural etc) and then we can only start making sense of things.

but you have to agree that it is folly to report wifi speedtests using home internet and its limitations by the ISP as being a way to gauge a phone's capabilites.

No, I'm not sure I agree.
If you cable into your router and do a speed test, and use that as your comparison point, I don't see the problem with using a home connection to test.
I don't know what limitations you're talking about, in my experience for speed testing you're routed into the DC where your ISP has its presence then either a speed test server within your ISPs DC network or one right next to it in the same DC.

Now if you're using the router supplied by your ISP, whole different story.

Scrolling smoothness

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Moto G6 Play under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Any of you have any idea how to stop the freeze/lag when scrolling? Phone is a moto g6 play (uk) sim free. The phone was useable on oreo but since 'upgrade' to pie,the phone is frustrating my wife....she is even thinking of reverting back to her old phone.*
Thanks in advance

Go to Devloper options lol for the the section that says drawing and change transition animation scale to .5X
As simple as that? One setting to change? I didnt perform a factory reset only cache reset.
But if that setting helps,thank you so much
Wife has had a play since the change of setting and not made any difference. Its still freezing/lagging

That's really all can be done, you bought a low/ mid tier phone and if you expect it to run like a galaxy S8 or 9 your gonna be very disappointed, and also since I feel your new as per xda rules state, questions must asked in it's respective thread which would be questions and answers here https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-play/help

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A50s's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
No problem of signal. But sometimes, if 4G is down, the 3G/4G switch does not work efficiently.
I'm still working out the bugs. Randomly I get very slow 4g and WiFi that isn't fixed until I start and stop airplane mode. Also it seems like I get slow WiFi when Bluetooth is enabled. Stock unrooted rom. Have a feeling it will be better after I root it and uninstall factory apps.
Before this a50s I had an Oppo F11 pro which performed MUCH better than this phone. Gave it to my wife though because I couldn't figure out how to root it.
Yesterday I got a cheap mYphone x12 to play with. It almost seems like a better phone. Even though it has a slower cpu and less ram.
