How fast is your mobile connection?

I have the TP2 on Sprint, in the St. Louis, MO area.
Switched from AT&T.
My new TP2 is SOOOO much faster online than my old TP on AT&T!!!
I test using this site:
www.mobilespeedtest.com
It downloads a 512 MB test and gives the speed it achieved. I am consistantly above 2500 kbps, often above 3500 kbps!
With my AT&T phone I was usually below 1000 kbps, often below 500 kbps.
What are your speeds?

I am a convert from a BlackBerry Storm...more like a BlackBerry Drizzle. The overall speed of the phones operation and tactile feel is much better. As for network speeds...
My speed just tested at:
512K file in 1.859 seconds
2.15Mbps Bandwidth
Download at 275.38KB/sec
3Meg file in 6.787 seconds
3.54 Mbps Bandwidth
Download at 452.63 KB/sec
Verizon network
You might want to re-check your #'s...because the don't make sense. There is no option for a 512MB download. A 512k file yes..

With Verizon I sit at
2.53 Mbps for the 512k Download which has been more or less constant
i've varied from 1.54-about 3Mbps with the 3meg file.

Verizon Wireless TP2:
2.76 Mbps
2831 kbps

Not bad since I did this test during peak times of the day!!

Make sure you aren't using skyfire or a version of Opera with their Turbo on it. These technologies cache pages and send smaller versions to your phone and therefore aren't reliable in speed tests. Use only Opera 9.5 (that comes with the phone) or IE.

I tried three time and got 2.64Mbps, 5.09Mbps and 4.16Mbps. I might just have to disconnect from my network in the office and use internet sharing on my phone!

Used both O9.5 and IE here.

with my VZW Imagio i'm getting 3-5 mbps with trying all tests

only 1.75 mbps today on pageplus prepaid (verizon phone/network) in California

4.47Mbs using 512KB.
13.09Mbs using 1MB
I dont buy these results.
They are all over the place, even after clearing the cache on Opera 9.5 I had a few impossibly high results.
I tried DSL reports mobile test with the 1MB and I got anywhere from 4.5 to 6.5Mbs.

I don't get it. I used www.mobilespeedtest.com to test my speed. It reported 1.56 Mbps or 512 KB in 2.56 seconds. however I timed it by wall clock and it took 67 seconds. I used Opera for the test. Is there a more accurate site?

I used the 3MB file and got the following results:
3072KB in 8.999 seconds
bandwidth 2.67 Mbps
download at 341.38 KB/sec.
If I use DSL reports mobile speedtest (1MB file), I get:
1384 kbit/sec
I don't really know which is more reliable.
I am on Verizon in Central Florida

Center City Philadelphia, 15 minutes ago.

NotAtreoFan... how did you do that screen capture? I wanted to do the same thing, but have no idea how to do a screen capture on my TP2

I use CapSure. Handles WVGA just fine. I recommend using PNG for saving screens since JPG compression looks like crap.

Not too bad here.
Sprint in St. Louis today clocking in at 4526 at 4PM local time.
PS- I use Shake and Save for screen shots

i wouldn't use the 512KB file to test the connection its too small. if you think about it most connections download that in 1 second so the test is done before it even begins really.
you want to try a larger file like 1 3 meg will give you a much more accurate idea of your phones speed
this site is good too for testing
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed

http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php
use the stock ie that comes with the phone.. works great.. I just got
1048 d
332 u
I normally get test results between 1200 and 1500 d for my area.

for a better view tap screen over the test and hold till the full screen pops up... looks sweet in landscape.... we need to port this into a standalone app.

Slower today, but still not bad!
My internet speed is slower today but still better than I got with AT&T.
GO SPRINT!!!
1.2Mbps

[Q] Maximum connection speed = 3G? Why?

Hello,
I've just followed the procedure explained in this thread LINK in order to enable the network sharing option on my Samsung Omnia 7, but now there's something a bit strange.
Also, I want to thank the author of that procedure (can't post in his thread because of the limitations of my new account).
If i tap the "Cellular network" tab in the phone settings now I see a new selection tab named "Maximum connection speed", wich I haven't got before doing the procedure:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(before the update I only had got - at this height of the tab - Roaming options and Network selection...no trace of that "Maximum connection speed")
If i tap the selection box i can choose from 2 options: E (edge) and 3G.
I don't see H (hsdpa) option and now 3G is the chosen option.
If i use my connection i see the 3G icon at the top of the screen become H, as always, but I'm confused and I don't know if the navigation speed is the same as before...
Is that normal? How can I test my speed?
By the way I made a backup, so I can restore my phone if it's needed!

3G is HSDPA (in some countries 3.5G/HSDPA+). 3G is only the network used for texting and video/calling, whereas mobile internet is connected through the form of HSDPA via 3G network. It's like 2G/EDGE and 4G/LTE.

I thought that selection would have affected the navigation speed, but not in this case.
Thank you!

I also noticed this... But I also noticed that, near the bars that represent the signal quality, there was written 3G+

Yes, it's a Samsung related thing.
They chose to use 3G+ instead of H to refer at HDSPA...meh.
By the way, using the "Advanced Configuration" homebrew I was able to change that weird icon from 3G+ to the classic H.
Ps. Magus, sei tu? XD

A few questions asked here:
Why did this option appear?
It's actually supposed to be there, but some OEMs or mobile operators hide it by default. Many homebrew tweaks un-hide it (it's just a single registry value).
What does it do?
It lets you force the phone to use 2G (including EDGE) instead of 3G (including HSPDA). There are two reasons you might do this: to save battery (3G is a battery hog, relatively speaking) or because you have a very marginal 3G signal but a strong 2G one and therefore actually get a better connection if you force the phone to use 2G.
How can I test my speed?
There are a number of ways. The marketplace has several apps for bandwidth testing (though some provide wildly inaccurate results). You can also tether your laptop to the phone (using either the USB cable and a small tweak, or using the built-in Internet Sharing feature over WiFi) and then use a standard bandwidth test site like http://speedtest.net (which uses Flash and is therefore not usable in the phone's browser).
Hope that helps!

[Q] Totaly lose 3G mobile data connection

The issue cames at Tuesday or maybe Wednesday(not very sure), the 3G(WCDMA) connection lost, I've checked APN, mobile data switch, data roaming, get nothing. Before that it works perfectly. It just happened.

As u may see, at *#*#4636#*#*, UMTS actived, and all my sms, calls are working fine too, but GPRS was always "Disconnected". even when I insert another 3G sim from my friend, and of course I've tried my sim on others phone, 3g works fine. ThenI had try my old 2G sim card, it works fine too(both mobile data and sms), it feels like just 3G network has been isolated on my phone, no sent no received. I've set the "WCDMA only" or "WCDMA preferred", nothing changed.
I've factory reset or wipe everything or update to 4.4.2 or downgrade to 4.4.0 several times, nothing changed, won't get "3G" or "H+" next signal bar.
I've found somebody in China has these issue, I'm in China too
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Model: LGD820 White 32GB(US)

That shows you are on China Unicom but do they support 2G only? When you switch to that (not using 4636, just normal Mobile Networks switcher) does it show up with EDGE connection?

Nope, no "E" icon appear too, but with my another old sim, "E" Edge works fine, I guess my new sim card could only access network through 3G

I got "China Unicom was upgrade their base station for 4G network build these days" from one of my friends works in China Unicom, so this was just the reason of lost of 3G. And these was not the only, LG G2 (Ver. HongKong) got the same issue in some city of Hunan China.
But as I know most phone(ver. US or UK or Pacific Asia) had no issue like this.
So is there anyone could offering me some advice to conquer this issue? About baseband? Anyway could lemme capture the signal or mobile data handshake packet or something like this?

i m also in Hunan China,and my D820 no 3G,similar with you.

me too in us
sprint 3g in US (richmond va) happens to me all the time, especially when im at work, and it seems to do it under heavy data load... twitter, facebook, etc

Has your friend said when this will be fixed? I am in Changsha, Hunan and I just got back here from the states two days ago. When I landed in Beijing...great data signals. The I landed back in Changsha...no data. Just my luck that I get pretty much the only phone that doesn't work in my city. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for this post to BTW since it seems everyone else is arguing with me. I just want to know when this will be returned back to normal in Hunan or any way to fix this issue?

In my Phone N5 3g is working very will..

As I known from several Chinese forum it has already been fixed in Changsha (by China unicom of course ), but I'm in zhuzhou (a city next to Changsha ). Here's some ways I discovered may works for u.
Turn the mobile data on/set apn of course, get in the phone information page through the info code (in case u dunno, dial *#*#4636#*#* at your dial pad page ). Switch the preferred network type to any type other than GSM only, let the signals lost, then switch back to GSM only, wait a while(10 sec). Did the E or G icons appeared next to your signal bars?
Yes? Congress dude, u found a working station, wait a while then switch back to WCDMA prefer or WCDMA only whatever u like. H or H+ would came out!!!!! And then walk around, now u can go anywhere u want.
If it's not came out then f*#king the station cuz it's just the one which "block" your phone (not your phone issue I promise, I bought the second Nexus 5 because I THOUGHT IT'S MY F#*KING PHONE WITH F*#KING ISSUES !!!!!!!!!!!!). Now go somewhere else and try again to find the "right " station.
PS: As long as u get online & never switch off the data then u could be online like 12 hours wherever u are (in service area of course )even roaming to "blocking station" till carrier reset u (regularly )
PSPS :I've found like 7 working station in zhuzhou, one of them was available to connected 17 floors above where I'm working. It sucks!!!
If u willing to chat pm me with your hangouts or something u wanna to say cuz it will notification on my phone

I fogot to click on reply u, lemme try again......... Type so much on phone was so damn hard working

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A70's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Wifi on the A70 has major issues, completely drops connection all the time, even if at full signal strength. Very very bad, I've never seen a device with wifi this bad in my life.

Strange. I've never had any issues till now. Using for 3 months

Do you have the American version? All the other threads about this issue I'm finding on Google are people with the European version, and I'm Canadian which usually gets the same as them. There's even an A70-unique setting in developer options called "wifi safe mode" made just for this device, and there's been 5 updates since launch about "wifi stability", it's got issues. I get about 1-2 drops per hour.

Ohh. Nope I have the GM version (India) and I don't have that option in settings

i am loosing wifi connection many times a day....it's bad...

I have also this problem
Not know solutions ?

No problems with wifi signal - I like A70 how it works on wifi . But we need to remember that router is important for connection quality and speed - I have tp-link Archer C1200 at home - and A70 5ghz get 433 Mb/s ~ 170 mb/s transfers while old Moto get 150 Mb/s connection and about 110 mb/s transfers . I have cable internet connection 200Mb/s .

Works fine here. I get up to 35mbyte/s. Fastest WiFi I've had on a phone. Everything is stock.

I can only get around 50mbps on Speedtest, which sucks because my old phone (a Nokia 7 Plus) can reach twice that speed.

wifi stregnth is good for me, but throughput/speed not so much..but still good.
my internet is 500Mb/s up and down.
on my Xiaomi mi 9, on 5ghz, i get 450Mb/s up and down with 1ms ping.
on A70 i get around 325Mb/s up and 350 down with 2ms ping

after november update wifi is acting up again...it is almost unbearable to use, i am loosing connection every once in a while...

You need a section just for hotspot. I have a lot of things to say about hotspot. 5GHz not showing up on Windows WiFi list. Not the case with my other 5GHz capable hotspot phones. This is an almost unspoken about issue as so few people are using 5GHz hotspots. My wife's Huawei has actual channel selection of its 5GHz hotspot. My A70 has got stuck in a rut on the channels in the mid hundred range. The low channels such as 40, 44, 48 are the best for Windows to see.
Of course 2.4 GHz AP has channel selection and auto option on the A70 but this is not very significant. Most phones do.
Most phones don't offer 5GHz hotspot. Seems to have started in the later part of the teens decade only.
To get a phone with actual channel control in 5GHz I can only suggest that you try a Huawei.
Pretty important issue, for those of us with non sim enabled computers who want the fastest internet possible in our locales.

The only thing I notice is when you log out all your samsung accounts the wifi is now all good. Just my exp but you can try

Does galaxy a70 has MIMO for Wifi .?

Seems like Android 10 Update for Samsung Galaxy A70 has fixed wifi speed sync issue for 2.4Ghz band. Now it shows full speed (150Mbps) instead of 72Mbps. Now i can reach "100Mbps" on speedtest (full bandwidth of my subscription) from my crappy wifi router (b/g/n - 150M - Max!)

Problem with 4g/4g+/LTE in home

Hello, i have a problem with my data connection when I am at home, i have tried several cell phones and with none I have encountered these problems I would like to know if anyone has other problems and if it is a hardware problem or a software problem.

What kind of problem do you have?

When I am in some places, applications such as facebook, instagram, telegram do not work, but if I move an inch they start to work again. All this when I use the 4g / 4g + / 3g

I also noticed a certain slowness in the data connection, my previous mobile phone a mi 9 lite is much better performing. I hope it is just a youth problem and that with a modem update it is solved.

Can you people post speedtests or something?
Signal is maxed out where I live and speed is also fine 50mbps down and up

Me too, Im experiencing slow data connections even when outside. Tried to test the speed using ookla speed test and it shows less than 1mbps download compared to my oppo A37f LTE which shows 10mbps.

same me. Facebook , Instagram ,chrome not load page but my speed internet 89Mbps Dev. please fix firmware

I have the same issue. Mobile data slowing down very often or stuck and do not loading anything. Turning on and turning off flying mode solve problem for a while.

Well I was camping, and there's almost no signal so data keeps changing from 4g+ to 3g+ to E, etc... THIS IS NORMAL
BUT
When it's on 3G+ there's no connection what so ever, I get 1-2 bars of signal and I'm always not connected to the internet, this isn't a problem with xiaomi: redmi 8, note4, a1 and other brands either

Isn't? I have full signal and high speed and after second my signal drops to 2-3 bars. Then internet doesnt work at all but when I test connection with smartphone diagnostic, it says that connection works fine. When I test connection speed, there is like 1-20 Mb/s loading and almost 0 Mb/s uploading. When I turn airplane mode on and off, then connection works again with high speed and no problems for a while. With Galaxy S7 edge and ROG 2, there is no problem at all, even when I have 1 bar of signal. It looks like POCO X3 losing uploading randomly so you cant send request to open anything.

6-12 download. In countryside no upload at all almost. Whit 3G sometimes. very bad connection when gaming on desktop. Glitchy OS too. Had to reset the phone many times. Connects to mobile data auto whit no permission granted.

I have the same problem too. the data connection is very slow compare to my extra phone. The ping/latency is too high.

4G
same problem too and when i
ping to google it unstable from
request time out
To 6000+ ms
and Regular 60-100 ms
but overall it is unusable
it reused when used 3g but not great ether

I have same problem with my poco X3 do rur internet on LTE+(4g) doesnt worki but LTE+ icon on right top corner is still visible, when i turn phone upside down IT worki again , strange issue

The antennae on the X3 are pretty bad

Try Set network preferred to Lte/umts auto on testing menu. *#*#4636#*#* default with Td-scdma,

FYI, the setting is under "Testing | Phone Information [1 | 2]".
FTR, mine was was already set to "LTE/TDSCDMA/UMTS" under stock ROM v12.0.3.0 (QJGEUXM) with no SIMs.
.

Hi,
same problem with my POCO X3. Upload is very low. With another old phone is better!
Someone has a solution? Is this a know issue?
Thanks

there are clearly a problem in upload in data in this device i made a lot of tests and it showed
1- in out door with good signal it is good
2- in indoor with good signal the download is good the upload is weak
3- in indoor with average signal the download still good but the upload is very poor
and affecting in the overall performance
