[Q] wireless-n speed slow - G Tablet General

I just ran the *#*#4636#*#* command on the phone part of the G-tab and I notice that the wireless-n only goes up to 26Mbps. My Nexus One is able to get up to 72Mbps. This test is done where both of the device is about 2 feet away from the wireless-n router and I am NOT holding any of the device. There is also a clear line of sight for both devices to the router. I know the G-tab has wireless-n, but my question is if it's enabled on the firmware. (btw, I am using TnT lite 2.3)

Unsure as to that, but if you are interested in better wifi performance, I'd try out pershoot's kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903505 with his latest drivers. His driver apparently uses the latest wifi chip firmware so it ought to better than the wifi driver stock on our G Tablets, and people seem to be reporting good results with it.

Need wifi help please (Elocity A7)

Was wondering if anyone could help me.
I was loving almost everything about my elocity tablet, but wifi issues were same as initial g tablet.
Firmware came out yesterday that supposedly fixed this and for everyone in the main Elocity thread, it seems to have just done that.
I have applied it but have the following problem:
While I can see all the available networks, I cant seem to join any unless I am almost 5 feet from the router and despite seeing excellent signal I am only getting 1 mb/s link speeds. Rarely it wil go as high as five.
It is not a router issue as laptops and iphones connect fine. I have rebooted router and tried every permutation of wireless secuirty and wireless speed, b/g/n settings (the elocity is b/g only wifi). With no luck
Went to local McDonalds and could pick up 4 surrounding wifi networks with good to excellent signal and connected to them but again only a best of 1 or 2 mb/s.
I will be returning my device on account of this. Being in Canada I won't be able to get another (I am in USa with family for holidays for another week.)
I am hoping there is something in software I could do that might fix this as I like the device otherwise especially with quadrant scores in the 2400 range now.
I tried resetting the device and reflashing the firmware update to no avail. I don't know enough about android or linux to know if there is anything I can do delving deeper into the device to fix this?
It is almost like it only connects at wireless b and not g working so range is short and slow.
any thoughts or ideas before I send back as I have 2-3 days to wait for the RMA label.
Just curious... which WPA Supplicant file did you use? You should be using the one from page 50 of the other thread.
I'd say try installing the ElocityMod update.zip, but I lost root with that and am working on that before I can recommend it 100%.

[Q] Going absolutely nuts trying to tether TF to my captivate

Hi Guys,
In the last three days I've learned how to root my captivate, side-load apps, installed barnacle and wifi tether, all in the hopes of using my TF while on the road with my Captivate.
Unfortunately I cant get BT or Ad Hoc tethering to work.
I get the paired but not connected error when using BT
My TF is 8.2.3.13 so I can't root (without downgrading to 8.2.3.9 which I'm kind of afraid to do).
Does anyone know if I need to install a custom rom on my captivate in order to get the BT to tether?
I've probably read 100 threads in hopes of getting this to work, but at this point I might have to return the TF and get an ipad (yuck) just to get some connectivity for working on the road.
Any suggestions would be very very appreciated.
Regards,
wunshot
I'm assuming you want to use internet from your phone to tether to the tablet correct? Installing a custom rom is one way of achieving this. I use cognition rom which comes with the ability to tether through wifi. You need to activate that on the phone and have the tablet connect to the phone's wifi network.
I'm not sure if you were doing this but you cannot create an ad hoc network on the tablet and connect the phone to it to tether. The phone has to be the host and the tablet the client.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You don't want bluetooth. SirSid is on the right track suggesting the custom ROM although there are other ways that might not be as simple.
You want to turn on Mobile AP (Access Point) which turns your Cappy into a wifi hotspot and you're good to go. Go check the Captivate forums on how to achieve Mobile AP without much trouble. If you try to use it on a stock froyo cappy it will warn you about needing a tethering plan with ATT, you can easily remove the plan check using TiBu and it's all spelled out in the Cappy forums.

I use Captivate all the time and I can turn on the mobile hotspot and have my TF connect to it.
Atleast I'm not aware of being able to do BT tethering on a Captivate. I'm interested to know, if its even possible. Lets post a thread on the Captivate forum.
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, i plan on using my phone as the wifi host. I will give that cognition rom a shot. Im assuming the cognition rom creates the wifi network using infrastructure rather than ad hoc...is that the case?

Have no idea, I know it just works, it's actually a part of Android since Froyo, it just needs to be enabled and/or not checked if you don't have a tether plan.
I think cognition just uses the defualt android AP app. It creates the network in infrastructure mode if I remember right.
In any case, it just works
(Its located in Settings >> Wireless and network >> Mobile AP)
It supports bluetooth tethering as well, but the tablet would need to recognize it as a bluetooth modem. I have not tried that yet. Using a usb tether would probably be best if it works however. Using wifi tether drains battery faster than than my car charger can charge my phone. I still manage to loose battery even when its plugged in.
Sweet...I'll install cognition when I get home and see where I stand. Thanks for the advice...I'll updater you in a few hours with my results
OP, I have a rooted cappy with firefly rom on it. Super easy to do and its stable and allows for wifi hot spot without stupid ATT finding out you are tethering.
http://www phoenix-hq com/firefly/
It is a legit stable rom. I am able to wifi tether easily with my TF, no problems.
I'm on a stock froyo captivate Mobile AP works fine for tethering, can't figure out bluetooth. I tried for a couple of hours but gave it up Mobile AP works great, although I hear bluetooth saves battery?
EDIT: sorry it's a rogers captivate, i believe US is still on 2.1 nvm!

I don't understand why your getting into the Ad-hoc thing. Any rooted ROM you install on the Captivate, you can make your phone a Wifi hotspot via Mobile AP settings. That would create a Wifi network from the phone, and you can connect to that network in the TF.

I tested my Capativate with CyanogenMod 7 rom. It has "Tethering & portable hotspot" feature built-in. I tried it on my friend's TF yesterday and it actually works great!!!
I put cognition on my phone and it worked like a charm.....thanks!

Alright I've had my Inspire quite a while now and have been using CyanogenMod RC's mainly sense I rooted my phone. One feature I lost initial was my Wireless-N but I chalked it up to the rom being in development (started at RC 6). I forgot about the loss until a few days ago when i got my brand new router.
Now I can access Wireless B,G but my phone can not see N. I've tried multiple Roms, Radios and RILs without any affect. I've basically run out of ideas on what to try to fix this. Anyone have any suggestions on could causing this?

I use dd-wrt on the router so it broad a different SSIDs for each radio in it. I have "test-G" and "test-N" broadcasting form the router. I can see "test-G" broadcasting from my phone but not "test-N". Now I can see "test-N" from all my other devices in my house.
I miss spoke on my last post. I hadn't tested Wireless-A yet form my router till now. Seem My phone can see the 5-GHz range.

Wifi reception poor and slow connection using Cromni

Hi my first tablet was a xoom.
I've optimized it a lot since I first bought it.
My father has been meaning to get a tablet as well. And so I insisted he buy an older model tablet and save money and still get a great performance since I would "work my magic - all thanks to you guys at xda" to unlock it and install a custom rom for him.
He settled on the TF700.
Ever since we got it we had a bad connection with it. Compared to my xoom its day and night. Sure its a nicer tablet better resolution lighter slimmer. But a tablet with a lowsy wifi connection is rendered pretty useless.
I was pretty confident that installing a custom rom and have it overclocked it would perform better.
With Stock CROMI JB 4.2.1 installed I've noticed improvements... it opens apps quickly and runs smoothly, its only anything involving the internet that doesn't work well..
What can I do? Is it just a lousy wifi chip? is there an app I can get? Would installing the rom onto a microsd help? (Although he would prefer the slot to be free, that's why we opted for the tf700 over say a nexus 10).
If you installed a CROMi rom - that's quite old. You should move to CROMi-X 5.4.
The Wifi connection problem is not related to the rom you're running unless you flashed the WW version although you live in the US....
I've been following the clean roms for more than a year and I can assure you, that is not where the problem is. Everybody having problems with WiFi had them for some other reason.
Approach it from the router side. Reset it, change the channel, try WiFi fixer from the Play Store, turn off WiFi optimization in WiFi settings etc. and try the tablet on a different wifi network.

Okay great thank you, I'll try everything you've suggested and post my result.
He did mention getting better connectivity staying at a hotel...
So I tried everything and not seeing any improvement.
I checked and i always had the 5.4version so I didn't have to change that.
I got WiFi fixer and turned off optimization
Router wise I tried to add device to Mac filter tried to remove fire wall and pass word tried different channel and mixed b/g settings etc.
Tried with a different router as well.
Have yet to try static IP.
Its consistent its just the range. When I,m right next to my router I have no problem. But the range is so small with my Xoom I can be outside and still get reception.
Now I,d like to return it but I can,t un-unlock it and return it to manufacturer.
I,d sell it on swappa but who would want a defective tablet.

Mhhh - I seem to remember someone resolving a wifi connect issue by restricting the router to the n-band???
If you moved up to CROMi-X, try a different kernel or reflash the stock rom and check if it is any better on that.
Have you tried the tablet on any other wifi connection than the one at home?

I am not sure if you have a poor reception or a slow internet speed... If you have a poor reception, you can not do much because of your hardware or a low power of your wifi antenna... If you have a slow internet speed, you could try browser2ram to improve the speed. I found out that the TCP congestion control choice also helps your internet speed with a poor reception. You could try westwood congestion control too see if it helps, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Well that helped I tried a different kernel and now I have reception about a room farther. Its almost bareable. I'll play around and try the other kernels. I went with the beta one not the extreme version.
Any kernel you might recommend?
At least this gives me hope there are tweaks out there I just have to find them...
I know its not the internet though I have excellent speed tests results. And performance on all my other devices simultaneously
Also does world wide or us SKU make a difference? And how can I tell if my tablet is us vs worldwide?

Ha! That could be it! WW (Europe) uses different wifi modules. If you chose the WW option in the installer and you are in the US or CN (or vice versa), that could make the difference.
sbdags has a kernel installer somewhere (in post 2 I think). Flashing that file allows you to change kernels on the fly without reflashing the whole rom. Although you will have to do that if you did choose the wrong region.
I recommend any of _that's kernels. They are the most stable IMO and give you the best performance unless you want to tweak scheduler, govenor, OC etc yourself.
I am noticing a similar issue. I am use @_that 10 with CROMI 5.4 and I cannot get speed test to do more the 8 Mbps download. My Galaxy S5 pointed at the same speed test server downloads at 30 Mbps. I have Verizon FIOS with a 25/25 connection and their WiFi N router.
I tried changing the IP congestion settings but it did not matter.
Just seems slow. I do not have an issue getting reception just slow speeds in comparison.
Any ideas? Is this speed normal?

It will be fun to troubleshoot the internet speed because there are so many variables that could slow down your speed. It could be the time of day and the internet traffic of the server. However, if it is consistently low comparing with your other devices, then the culprit is your setup on your device, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

[Q] KatKiss Rom - Wifi DL speed issue

I'm back in love with my Transformer since installing KatKiss Rom. However, my download speed is about 1/10th of what it should be. When running the speedtest.net app I'm getting about 3.7Mbps download and upload was the normal (for me) 10Mbps. My dl speed should be closer to at least 40-45 Mbps. I've search for similar issues however have only been able to see problems people have with the inability to actually connect. I can connect to the network/Internet with not problem there. It's just my dl speed is significantly slower than it should be.
Any ideas or suggestions on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Sorry, forgot to add, I'm running KatKiss 4.4.4_32b

Thanks for the reply but I had already checked that. Besides, if that was set incorrectly, wouldn't that prevent any connections at all? My problem isn't a connection issue. It is a speed issue.
Try KK #33, maybe it has been fixed since 32b

I was thinking of doing that however I was hoping there was another option. I thought it was funny that my Transformer hasn't already informed me that there was an update available. Oh well. I'll try and get to it sometime this weekend. Unfortunately, homework takes priority. Only 10 more weeks until I graduate with my BSIT!!
Generally only stock ROMs get OTA updates, Custom ROMs need updating manually, iirc back in the days, one of the custom ROM devs did manage to get OTA updates running with his custom ROMs, but never seen that again for years
Need to keep checking the dev thread for new custom ROMs, everything is manual apart from app updates
Good luck with your BSIT

Well, tried to upgrade to v33 but still no go. Wifi speed is still about a 10th of what it should be. I'm definitely connected but not very fast. Also, I forgot to mention it in my previous posts but the auto-rotate function doesn't work either. It will open apps in the orientation that the app needs but will not switch between land and port when rotated on the home screen.
I'm going to try an earlier version (4.4.2 v26) because I've read that this might fix the auto-rotate issue at least.
Still lovin the Rom...just a couple hiccups that need to be ironed out.

Have you seen faster speeds than that with the TF101 before?
You'll likely only connect at around 65Mbps with the TF
With a Wireless G 54Mbps you get about 20-30Mbps because of overheads (Encryption etc)
That results in around 2-3MB/s real world download speeds
So with 65Mbps, you won't see a great deal more than that
Plus those speedtest apps are pretty crappy if Im honest, best to download something you get good speeds on your PC from, and test it on the TF

Status update:
I've tried two different Recoveries (CWM & TWRP) and two different ROMs (KatKiss and OmniROM). All have installed with no problems however I still haven't resolved the slow download speed issue. I'm still baffled as to why my upload speed is normal. Side by side comparison with my wife's non-rooted stock TF101 in the same room had normal download speeds which were 10 times as fast as my TF101.
Any other ideas I can explore?
Using 4.4.4_034 in the US I had to choose "EMEA & rest of world" to get 36Mb/s.
This amazing WiFi app might not help you now, but it could down the road: http://surl.im/PkSQn

Side by side comparison with my wife's non-rooted stock TF101 in the same room had normal download speeds which were 10 times as fast as my TF101.
Any other ideas I can explore?

Bit of a strange one indeed, you could try changing router settings just in case, change the wireless channel to a clearer one, as above use WiFi Analyser to check the best channel to use
Other options would be to clear the DHCP pool on the router, forcing all devices to reconnect on a new IP
On the tablet side, you could try setting a static IP instead of using DHCP
Try a different DNS server, not that it should affect the download speed, but 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Googles public DNS servers
(Gateway is the IP of your router)
Solved - Still not sure why though.
I've somehow solved my download speed issue. I took my tablet to work and discovered that my WiFi speeds were what they should be so I knew it wasn't a device issue. Brought it back home and connected to my home wireless and found my speed issue was miraculously fixed. I'm still not sure why but I'm guessing something was reset or timed out in the router to where the tablet was now a new device. I don't know why removing the device from the network for a few hours would have a different effect than a manual reboot of the router. I guess I'll keep this in my bag of network troubleshooting tricks for the future.
Pleased you got it sorted
