how do i test my 3g speed ? is there any App
3mbps down and 2mbps up. using any ported rom for t959 or i9000 and jk3/jk4/jl3 modems in new windsor new york.
some reported jl2 modem was faster but for me it was slower, jl3 gets faster gps locks but not necessarily more accurate.
Max i've ever seen was around 750kb/sec down and 400kb/sec up, faster than my home connection
4.4Mbps Down 1.7Mbps Up even though tethered I've seen 500KBps down. TJLJ and Jl3 modems both achieved this. This was in Greenup, Ky

Yep. That test was taken while at a stoplight on a main highway. There were no wifi networks in range, so there may have been less interference. It is not unusual for me to get 3-5Mbit down pretty much anywhere with good signal. The JK4 modem has really shone for me.
I thought my speed increased. But compared to most of u here mine are measly at about 1250 mbps down and 1150 mbps up @ Atlanta, GA.
Highest ever I got were like 2 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up.
With most of these ported i9000 roms, i9000 kernel/modem combos 3mb up/1.5mb down is pretty common. Depending on location, data traffic, oc/uv settings, results may vary. With the stock captivate kernel/modem combos 1.5mb up/.3mb down is more realistic (again, many variables can influence this)
There are, however, several stock captivate kernels with voodoo, speedmod, ulf, oclf options baked in that will get you much higher download speeds, but the upload speeds I just can't seem to improve. 2.8-3mb up/.5mb down
If you use AT&T Captivate firmware (and Modem), your HSUPA will be disabled and your upload speed will be capped around 300kbps. The only way to break that barrier is to flash non-AT&T modem, e.g. i9000 or Canadian firmware.
AT&T openly admits that HSUPA features are disable on all AT&T 3G phones except iPhones.

hmmm...i tested the display one at a tmobile store against my vibrant and the gs4g only got around 2500kbps download speed max. My vibrant did a little better than that. like 2600 to 2800. I guess i shouldn't jump on the 4G train just yet. I'm located in miami btw. Plus i think the store is near a deadzone to top it off...ill check out another location. But 10000kbps is awesome! Thats what i'd expect from the GS4G.

Same issue for me. I'm getting 400-600kbps in the same spot I tested my Vibrant last week and was getting 2.5-3Mbs. I've called Tech support and they have no answers.
I went to the damn store I bought it at and I was getting the same speed right out their door. The most I've seen with this phone has been 6Mbps and that was downtown Orlando. If this keeps up I'm dumping the phone before my 14 day period.

You probably mean 5.2 down and 1.3 up.
I'm in the Tampa, FL area. I'm getting 5+ down and 1-2 up pretty regularly in my area. I'm happy...it's beats the crap out of my old T-Mobile BS. More importantly, the coverage is WAY better.
Yes where do you all live? Where can I get these speeds?
Does anyone know if the icon in the task bar actually reflects what type of tower you are connected to? i.e. will it say "3G" if you are connected to a non-"enhanced backhaul" tower? Mine always shows the "H+" icon, and my speeds have ranged from 1.5Mbps to 8Mbps.
Well it shouldn't. Hspa+ should be available everywhere hspa was, and that's att's entire 3g network. So anywhere you got 3g you should get hspa+. That doesn't mean the tower can supply data speeds in the range of hspa+ 7mbit to 21mbit. The speed to the tower is being called "backhaul"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
That's what I was asking - if the H+ indicated the tower was upgraded or if it just shows H+ always. I had hoped for the former but expected the latter.
the h+ is only the cell technology used between the phone and the tower, and all 3g towers are upgraded to use hspa+, but this doesnt indicate the towers connection to the network, so even if the tower can only supply 0.0000001mbit, itll still say h+. the only way to know what you can get from your area is to look at your actual speeds.
Just hit 11.47 down and 1.64 up out here in NYC. Pretty good if you ask me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Thanks, that answers my question. I was just hoping for an easy way to know which areas were upgraded, since I assume that even with an upgraded tower it's possible to see speeds below 7Mbps and therefore it wouldn't be cut and dried. I've only seen 7+ speeds in one spot so far (at work), I see more in the 2 to 4Mbps range so I guess a lot of my area is not upgraded.
I am very envious. We are supposed to be getting it in the next month. Of course by then we won't have the free tethering anymore.

You are constrained by what speed the network provider will let you go, the limits set in the build.prop file, and how fast the device can actually go.
The slowest of those 3 things determines your top speed.

Yes, this does have to do with my Inspire, since I compared to it.
I stopped by a bunch of stores today to check out some LTE phones, their speeds, and the devices, to see how much they stand up to the hype.
On my stop at an AT&T LTE store, I came across the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. I did a speed test on the device, and came up with these crazy numbers!
I made absolutely sure wifi was off so that the numbers would not be skewed. Also, there was an LG Nitro HD right next to it, in which I ran the same speedtest, and only got about 2Mb/1Mb. Of course I repeated the test numerous times just to make sure, and each time they came out about the same. I whipped out my Inspire 4G, and got about 4Mb/2Mb.
What's going on here? The only thing I could guess was that they were provisioning all the local bandwidth to the Skyrocket in hopes of trying to sell it quicker.
What do you guys think?
Well, Let's see. The skyrocket has LTE, the Inspire does not, hence the speed difference. You do the math.
It's legit.

It think it's fairly obvious that LTE is going to have a huge speed difference, but not THIS huge. I went to a Verizon store today also, and it got nowhere near those speeds. Also, why didn't the HTC Vivid and LG Nitro HDs that were on display get even close to those speeds, even though they were running on 4G LTE?
I think the real meat of this story is the fact that the OP's inspire received better Speed Test results than the new LG Nitro did. I find that interesting.
I'm with the OP in wondering if maybe they're provisioning the bandwidth for certain phones in certain markets.
I believe it's all a conspiracy. I got decent speeds on my Inspire every now and then, but I just wish the speeds were more consistent. I have a Skyrocket now and the speeds can be exceptionally nice in certain areas.

Not trying to pass off a wifi result as a true cellular data result are you?
don't mean to be off topic(i apologize), i understand theese speeds are lightning freakn fast, but what is one to do with theese speeds, at the current rate anybody running on a 2gig plan can expect to run that out quickly, right? check in on threads about phones running lte, and there will be a thread called throttled (for unlimited data users), 22mbs is great but two weeks later some are running 100kbs, sounds tough. so what exactly is the point of the large bandwith? faster cpu, dual core n such i get, but speeds like that are meant for home entertainement/pc, gaming console/pc, work etc.

lol wtf r u guys on? i get even 8/s ussually
well the fact that they were all taken within 100m of each other and outside and in Philadelphia, like I said, means most of the reasons don't make sense.
I did take a few with Edge, which were a lot slower, but often had less ping time. Thanks for the feedback. I find it hard to believe that the traffic flux within 3 minutes would cause a 500ms swing in lag times so I'm kind of thinking that it's really an issue with the hardware/ROM that gives me such fits.
I have the same problem around Salt Lake City, UT. My phone will show 4g service, with full bars, and yet my connection will constantly stall out or not work. Some days it works fine other days it's worthless, even though it says 4g. F'ing tmobile.
Are you usually located in NY NY like speed test says? Because when I was in NY near queens, I only got hspa+ speeds to. When ever I came back home (Texas) I'm on 4g networks now. And I'm on latest cyanogen mods stable for g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Its the G2x, not T-Mobile. When I had my G2x I would get max 7 down, higher ping, and same upload. But honestly, you don't really need much more on the G2x.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Accessing the network in Philly will lead to a lot of fluctuation, especially at 1:30 in the afternoon. A lot of people in the city use T-Mobile and peak hours suck here.
Also included in the issue is that while network is a major player, the speed at which the phone processes stuff hurts the speed. If your phone lagged up at any point during the test, you'll notice a huge fluctuation.
