SpeedTest.net vs XTremeLabs Speedtest

I am getting a huge variation between the two. Does anyone have any insight as to which is more accurate? SpeedTest.net I can pick which server (they have none near WA state) but it tells me that WY is closer to me than CO. I always get higher speeds with SpeedTest.net than XTremeLabs...
I'm in the Seattle area with full 3G reception in both tests. I ran the tests about 4-5 times each and DDMS the pics of the top ones.

Sorry for such OT stuff
What theme/ skin/ Mod is that?! Looks great!

haha no problem!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5525523&postcount=174
I posted a link to what I have there....
Previously I was using SlideScreen Pro this is way more hot. Now using Cyan5.0b4, KSpecLite (was for Cyan5.0b3 but worked anyways), Beautiful Widgets clock with Naked skin.
*Edit* Yes I use car home all the time! The only time I use google maps is when I'm in the car so I can use the voice activated navigation. If I need calender or clock/alarm clock I hit the widget thus saving me 2 shortcuts.​

1904kbps? Holy hell, I need to move to Colorado Springs. Out here in San Diego, CA, the most I've ever gotten on 3G was 870. Then again, I also get about 800kbps upload(not that that matters much).

I dont think thats 3g...

Then what is it?
And the reason for the vaiance is that the two apps use different servers that greatly effect the actual speed, as well the app itself is going to effect the speed to an extent(ie, if one app is using up more CPU than the other, there is less CPU to download as quickly, thus you will get a lower rating).

It changes to an H when I'm running the app ^__^ and I'm in the Seattle area and TMo North America headquarters is in Bellevue (not too far away from me).
I used to not get this speed a few months ago maybe they rolled out the new stuff in my area? Not sure. I did all the tests with full bars of 3G reception and I have not applied the radio update yet. I want to see if there is any speed increase after I upgrade the radio!

I also live in the Seattle area. SpeedTest.net is definitely a way better app for android but their regular flash website is great too. There is some problem with their server list on android that seems to be T-mobile network related. My friends Verizon droid running the same app can find servers less than 10 miles away. He gets the same server results as if he were running the actual website. If you open the speedtest.net app while running on wifi it will give you the full server list. I wrote the developers and here is what they said, "This problem should be resolved with an upcoming Android release in the next couple of months." It seems they don't take the issue very seriously. More people should write in about the issue and maybe it will be fixed quicker.
It could be a very simple fix. How about saving the server list instead of loading it everytime the app is opened. Otherwise the app rules.

holy moly. you get speeds like that on 3G? where the hell do you live? i live in NYC where 3G was first introduced and i don't even get speeds like that. did you do any tweaks to your phone?

Same issues for me, but I think speedtest.net is a more reliable app than xtremelabs. I average about 1.3 Mbps down and up, occasionally spiking to 1.9 down and once even 2.0.

On my Dream i get 1913 down with iNetwork Test (cant find the upload-speed) and 2564/881 with speedtest.net.

Hey I live in a crappy tmo area Virginia beach and I'm getting 400-700 kbps with speedtest and 400-500 with labs. One thing that has me worried tho is that I was getting about 1000kbps on my touch pro2 at the same places I'm getting half the speed as that... any ideas??

Seattle, WA server, tested downtown with full bars, MT3G using Speedtest.net App
1400 kbps down
400 kbps up
258 ms ping
(initially, I did not see the Seattle server, but it showed up after the first run against Witchita, KS

With Xtremelab's speedtest, I got
700 kbps down
150 kbps up

i get crap speeds =[

Has nexus s fm radio on the board like nexus one?

Hi, i have a question,does nexus s have fm radio on board like nexus one but it isnt enabled by software or it doesnt have at all?samsung galaxy s has fm radio so it should have if it isnt ripped from the board by google.Maybe with ripped apk from galaxy s rom should work here too??

Well the Galaxy S line also has support for 720p video recording, but the Nexus S does not. So who knows. I was checking out the teardown from ifixit and it doesn't look like there are a lot of components on the board itself. I could be terribly wrong, but it looked very minimalistic and simple.
Sent from my Nexus S

I think Radio is not there...
But i am wondering why all people asks things that google never advertised...
The phone doesn't record on 720p, doesn't have radio etc etc...
We all must understand that Nexus S is most of a developer phone and google sell it to show what pure gingerbread can do....
So please to search reasons to buy or not....
All people asking for facillities that don't exist....
This is the phone....
If you want a phone to shoot 720p video, to have radio, to have led notification, to have metallic body etc etc, this isn't your phone...
If you want a phone with quick and very good support for Google and community, a phone with pure Android gingerbread, a full unlocked and Open Source phone to play with, then this phone is the only choice you have...

Both the N1 and NS have the same chip (BCM4329) which has both FM TX & RX on the chip. I sure in time they will get the FM radio working.

Cy has already written the code to get it working on the N1, as soon as CM6 is merged into gingerbread we will have a great FM radio))

I am wondering why people jump in with non-responsive posts. People ask questions because they don't know something and haven't found the answer by other means (assuming they looked). How does a response like yours help move the conversation forward.
The phone has a thousand features in it, and only a couple of dozen advertised. Should we assume that the 900+ features that aren't advertised don't exist and therefore are a reason not to buy the phone.
The Nexus One hardware supported FM radio reception, but Google did not put it in there; we had to wait for the hackers to add it. See this post.
It's certainly reasonable, in my opinion, to ask if the Nexus S, which many think is basically just a slightly modified Galaxy S (which supports FM radio) can do so, and if it's as simple as adding an apk from another Galaxy S device.
To the original poster, I don't know the answer, but if I were interested enough to do a little research, I'd google the ifixit teardown of the Nexus S, then see what radio chip it uses, and if that particular chip has FM radio capability. If it does, it's just a matter of time before some enterprising dev adds it in. Probably not as simple as installing an apk, there are most likely driver and/or kernel changes necessary to get it functioning.
edit: I see others have already looked that up. I've NEVER used FM radio on my N1 or SGS, but nice to know that it might be there someday, just in case.

Because the nexus one was said to not have radio, but after long we now have fully working f m radio on the nexus one. So why not do the same with the nexus s?

Yes. the Nexus S indeed has FM capabilities, courtesy, the BCM4329 chip inside

And do you think that with some code it will be possible to Nexus S video recording 720p as Nexus One ?

Yes, and no. There's allegedly a bandwidth bottleneck in the hardware on the NS that the GS doesn't have; so while 720p is possible, it will be at fewer frames per second if/when we get it.

for as cool as it can be to have the FM radio like the SGS... i still ponder what is the point of it?
i know i know, just for the sake of having it, and the very rare occassion you will actually use, when you use your wired headphones....
but i've owned the SGS for 4+ month, i've only used it ONCE in the entire time, and it was only to check if it was working or not, and the people complaining the FM radio sounded like MONO (which was actually a code bug, and not hardware deficiency)
in this age of MP3 and AC3 and POT CAST, Streaming Radio stations (3G/WiFi) play backs... a good old authentic FM radio (which will not work if you are not using a wired headphone) has fallen into a "novelty" category, instead of a "cool feature" category as it was in the past.
if they could make the FM radio work without the wired headphones, and be able to Stream the FM audio via bluetooth, then that will really be Enjoyable

LOL, I just disagreed with you on something else in another thread, but on this topic, we're on the same page. I've also only used my FM radio on the SGS once, and just to see if it worked.
Now, if it offered HD radio service and some of the offset digital channels, it might get more use out of me. Seriously, I'd be more likely to use a built-in radio if it were AM for news and talk radio. For music, too many better options available to us on the data-connected phone.
Still, if the hardware's there, nice to be able to use it if you wanted.

FM TX
It would be nice to transmit your music to the FM - for the car stereo.

Would love to see FM radio
I used the radio on my n1 all the time running. I loved it and was assuming it wasn't there in the ns. I hope we get it soon!

[Q] Wireless N Speed (Solved)

Update:
Viewed FCC Testing report for the Transformer, it seems that the Transformer can have a max 802.11n linked speed of 72Mbps (MCS index 7)
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=1430395
__________________________________________________________________
I am just curious what other people are getting as a link speed on their Transformer via wireless N
To quickest way to check is by going into Settings>Wireless&Networks
Then click on connected Access point and a dialog will give you info about connection

Which i think is pretty low, streaming from my media server is ok, but i would like to get atleast 150mbps even though my wireless router supports up to 300Mbps
Some reference material:

I havent installed the app, but I got a reading from my admin page (D-link) and it shows 65Mbps with a 78% Signals. The router is 6 feet away....Not very good imho. I also have my notebook which is 300Mbps with 100% Signals. I was hoping to get around 90-100Mbps. I have also try switching to different channels, and also set my router to accept only N devices. 65Mbps is the best my TF could do. I will check it out with the apps.

I'd be absolutely amazed if you get anywhere near 150Mbps. I blame the Wireless N standard rather than the TF. Wireless N is quoted up to 300Mbps which makes me laugh. If you manage to get half of this you are doing VERY well. I would be delighted with 72Mbps. It is more than fast enough to stream any type of video so what is the problem? I think you have a decent speed there.

I would NEVER trust the 300Mbps reading you get from your laptop. I bet if you were to carry out some proper tests it wouldn't even be half this. 300Mbps is living in dream world.

I have the Netgear WNDR37AV (dual band) and will do the test once I arrive at home.

There was a long thread on this on the official Motorola Xoom forum, basically concluding that the chips in modern tablets (all of them) are simply not capable of sustaining higher speeds than what's being reported here. For myself, I'm happy with the performance--certainly, it's fast enough for anything I use a tablet for.

I move alot of big files from my notebook to my server. With TeraCopy I'm averaging about 12MB/s on 270-300Mbps. On 54Mbps (G speed) I get 2MB/s. On a 150Mbps I get 5-7MB/s. To me, the numbers sound bout right with my results.

Well im going to test a little bit with Iperf and see what kind of throughput i get
Does anyone who the vendor is for the wireless transceiver on the transformer?

12MB/sec is about 100Mbps, which is way less than the 300Mbps quoted by your router's max speed. Still, I would be very happy with that speed.

Interesting
Wireless N gets its major speed increase from using multiple channels (MIMO) and the increase in bandwidth between channels 20 Mhz or 40 Mhz
If nobody can get higher link speeds then 72 Mbps, then it seems that the transformer doesn't support multiple channels or the 40Mhz channel bandwidth
Here is a chart for reference

Does any of this matter. For smooth streaming I thought you only needed 5-6 mbps.
FWIW, the Nook Color has N and also only supports 2.4 GHz and streamed video is smooth.

It depends on the quality, the bitrate, the filetype and of course the file size. But yeah for most people's files and the majority of stuff you get from the web 5-6 is plenty.

My Xoom connects to my 5G router. It's a netgear WNDR3700v2

So I went into settings > Wireless & networks, then hit the button on the top right (scan and advanced). When I selected advanced the first time, there was either (I forget what it said lol) an option above the mac address for 5G, 2.4G, automatic or N/G/Auto. I selected 5G/N, however I can no longer get this option since selecting one. I'm not trying to prove this thing can connect to 5G networks, though I'm wondering what that was all about and how to get the option back. Has anyone seen this? Maybe I'll do a hard reset.

We had some past threads about this... but they aren't active recently so I'll jump on this one. Plus T-Mobile did those changes here in the States recently. I do see a slight difference in my speed since they "doubled" the speeds in many major cities. Only problem... it's now a little slower for me. Will keep testing.
Before Speed Doubling
-------------------------
6-7 Mbps average
10 Mbps max seen
After Speed Doubling

7 Mbps max seen
Lame! Maybe my old 2g SIM card is finally coming into play? I'm over my 5 Gb as is my norm so maybe I'm being throttled to HSDPA (3.5 g) lol

Yeah it's possible your Sim card is playing a role in that. May want to swap it out!

I'm in north side of Chicago, max speed seems to be around 5-6Mbps at my office, although I'm getting all bars. Will do some speedtest when I go to the Starbucks right next to the t-mobile store (I suspects they would have wifi-to-cell access point there to max out the speed)!

I'm in Queens,New York and speeds are lame where i live.I never reached 3Mbps. my average speed is around 1-2.5Mbps

May be by chance.Because my upload speed is usually around 1Mbps~3Mbps,and my download speed is usually around 2Mbps~6Mbps

In a G2x. First one is a definitive error as for the G2x has a 14.4 Mbps cap.

I got mine near Frisco / Plano. Can't wait for custom roms to apply build.prop hacks to make it faster!

Well yeah,but most places i go to (work,home,GF)are not that great in terms of 4G coverage.Still better than sprint in most cases though.

Checking on 5G and LTE speeds with T-Mobile

Got my phone today and really like the feel, features etc.
Working with the camera now to see how its working...
Biggest issue is 5G, coming from OnePlus 8 and get speeds in my house that keep getting faster.
But Edge is struggling! Motorola Engineers are looking in to it.
Anyone else having issues?
OnePlus speeds:
Motorola Edge speeds:

Random Pictures:

Stupid question from Germany...does the Edge works on 5G since the beginning in the US?
In Germany we're still waiting for the patch.

Edge is my only 5G device so don't have anything to compare it to, but here in Phoenix here is what I'm getting the last few days. Ignore the really bad one, that was at my in-laws place which for whatever reason has been really bad always and I'm thankful to have anything at all. Even though these speeds are plenty for my usage, it kind of stinks to think I might have even better speeds with a different device.

I haven't activated 5G yet but it doesn't seem to improve speed much on this phone. I think I'll save the $$ until Motorola addresses it.

Today I set my edge to prefer LTE and ran speed test then right back to 5g for test. The LTE in my area is much slower, so 5g does make a difference here. 48 vs 15 download speed as shown in screenshot

I see, in this case, I guess it's relative. It must be a location thing. The speeds I'm getting are more than enough for all my uses.
Edit: I know these were all done together but this is what I get at any time of the day or night generally.

I've never come close to 100 Mbps ever with any phone in my area, I wouldn't bother worrying about 5g either at this time.

Speeds improved today Tmobile said tower work was being done in my area...
I am in N Peoria but yesterday was 1st day driving around with this phone and it was all over the place in speed and some areas 4G was faster
So for now its really address specific.

Didnt notice mine till I watched a YouTube today and the kid said the case was super loose by the power button and sure enough I checked and its really bad.
Anyone seen any leather cases ?
Something like this open and easy
ALso anyone getting this when you do a voice search?
I am getting it once to twice a day...
Still working on Gcam pics

Nice what part of Tempe because Sat was over by the Pointe i10 and Elliott and it was average about 40 mbps.
Got to like that 114 better!

Yeah same area but think the 114 still gives hope!
I would still DM them on twitter just to see what they say.

That was with the Released Chrome Version with the Google Speed Test Website.
