Hi all
Sorry for posting here but I do not have more then 10 posts.
I am rooted. Running Perfect Storm Rom with the 1.9 Kernal.
Before, When I just had the Perfect Storm rom and the stock kernal....I ran a speedtest. I was getting around 20 mps down and around 35-40 up...AWESOME SPEED
after I loaded the 1.9 in my download speed is fine...but my upload speed is ONLY 8 up
Is there something I am missing? What can I check or do to bring back my upload speed.
Thanks in advance
the insane up is a glitch in the speedtest app because the buffer on the tb is bigger then the file it is uploading, in reality it is about 2-6
Al I know..when I was stock with just the Perfect Storm Rom...I was getting uploads of 35-40 now I am getting 5-8....
so not sure what is going on......
Read the reply.
The Thunderbolt has 768 megabytes of Ram. Most phones dont ahve this much and it causes a glitch in teh app you are doing the test from. If youw ant to compare it, turn off the Mobile option in the browser and use speedtest.net the site, not teh app. Your upload should enver be higher than your download. And who teh hell needs 40 megs up on their phone?
Listen...I read the reply...I just went on Speakeasy...the site not the app.....
only getting 1.5 uop....
If I restore Perfect Storm with the stock kernel....I would get 30-40 up....that is all I am saying!!!!!!!!!
and listen
the 30-40 is not the actual speeds that you were getting, your dl speed should be 5-10x higher than your upload
when you were getting 30-40 you were either using the app or the mobile website. and now either you are using the full website or somehow the rom fixed the issue
YOU HAVE NEVER HAD OVER 10MBS UP EVER

I have an Inspire that is rooted,and after 5 different Roms for1 day each, I have settled into the revolution ROM and it really works great.I have my unlimited plan4G (most of the time I think)and I have my tendering. My question is when running the "sweetest.com" application I get 331 down and 783 up inthe evening and 2592 down and 1447 up in the morning until about noon,is this network congestion? Is there a different radio mod or flash or something that software locks the radio in HSUDA mode or whatever is making it that fast?? If anyone knows of a setting or .apk that addresses this or a setting possibly I would appreciate it,or an explanation if its not a tweakable thing might save hours of obsessing over trying to fix it.Thanks, Vegas

Yeah, the slow speeds at times are due to all the iphones tying up the network.

Funny, but I notice my speeds do the same. But most of the time it's relatively good.
I definitely think this is network congestion. My best speeds are late at night (usually about 2.5 down/1.5 up). Most of the time my upload stays about the same (between 900k and 1.5mb), but my download goes anywhere from 400k to 2.5mb..or lower
So 2.5 down is the fastest I can expect and the radio with the Revolution ROM is the Best one I could be using? I have heard 4G was capable of 6mbps,No..Anyone?? Is it gonna get better in phases,anyone know the truth?Vegas
So last night I was showing a buddy some stuff on my phone and I decided to run a speed test from the speed test app. I hit the button and the tiny little needle instantly jumps to 5 mbps and moves slightly higher to 5.15 mbps. Then my upload speed jumps to 2.5 and stays there. Why the sudden increase of speeds around my area? I generally get 1.5 download and .35 upload. This was all through my Inspire 4g rooted with Revolution 2.3.2 ROM and updated radio.
I will also add that I live in an area that has recently just got 3g as well. These are nearly as fast as my home internet, lol.
Move on nothing to see here

You're lucky, thats why lol
The other day, mine jumped from ~1.8 down and .80 up, to 3.8 down and 1.2 up. Seems as if at&t is up to something. Some people say that by the 31st of this month, most of the backhaul enhancement will be done.
I have been back on GingerREMIX for about the last week and have noticed an issue with speeds over 3G / 4G / WIFI. I listen to Tune-In just about 24/7 and with BAMF 1.6.3 (Froyo), it never buffered. It seems with the Gingerbread leak that we have, it buffers over 3G, 4G and WIFI every 20 minutes or so.
So I have put together a little test sample of data speeds over 3G and 4G (I am working on WIFI results as well). The tests were performed on two different days at roughly the same time as well as in the same location to try to capture a fair sample. I will also note that absolutely no apps except for the speed test app were installed over the base ROM when testing.
I uploaded all of my results to google docs to make it easy for everyone to see.

Just something to think about before making the leap to alpha GB.
Disclaimer: In no way does this reflect on the quality of the BAMF ROM(s) as I have experienced the same type of issues on other GB based ROMs. It more or less comes down to the alpha build of GB that we have.
Interesting. Thanks for the "side-by-side" comparison.
Please don't tell me you used speedtest.net mobile app to get these results.
If you did, you should read the other 100 topics about Speedtest app not working on GB, you will in fact get normal speeds with GB just need to use a different speed test.
I really think that the leaked radio has more issues than just the possible bricking. When on CM7 GB, I get normal download speeds in the 12-20 mbps range, same with any froyo rom, however, when on any of the roms that need the leaked GB radio to work, I get horrible speeds. Netbook tethered to phone, Pandora/slacker streaming, YouTube streaming both normal and HQ videos. There is a definite and significant drop in download speeds.

Interesting, just when I used the leaked GB radio on Das BAMF everything ran fine with plenty of speed. Speedtest (Not the app) showed normal speeds and I never had a problem with downloading/streaming anything even the MR1 PG05IMG.zip to send me back to froyo downloaded in a minute or two (400mb file).
Also, Pandora didn't work on GB so I don't know where you got that from.
The 1.5.6 version of Pandora ran well, I couldn't get 1.5.7 to work though.

OK... I've been a bit dissapointed with some internet speed test results so I thought we could look into it a bit deeper.
After installing CM7 RC 1.2 with the MR2.5 radio I noticed my speed test results using 4G suffered greatly. On sthe stock ROM I would regularly get 20+ Mbps results using the speedtest.net application. Now I get between .6 Mbps and 8Mbps. I get the same results with MR2 and MR2.5 radios.
It was suggested that the speedtest.net application didn't work well with CM7 and was innacurate. I checked out a few other internet speed test sites using the browser. Speakeasy regularly gets 20Mbps+ now as well as a few other sites. Speedtest.net still reports an average of 3Mbps to 6Mbps...
To really test things out I downloaded a 831MB file from Microsoft.com in 15 minutes (don't have the seconds). I've calculated the download rate to be 7.387Mbps: Formula for Mbps = File size in MB * 8 / time to download (in seconds)
Immediately following the download I:
Ran a speed test using the speedtest.net app and it reported 6.46Mbps
Ran a speed test at the Speakeasy site and it reported 19.85Mbps.
This data isn't helpful alone since I did not run this with the MR1 radio and non-gingerbread ROM but maybe someone has some time to test this
Here is the file I donwloaded for continuity http://www.microsoft.com/download/en....aspx?id=24559
Hopefully some of you can take the time to download the file I've linked above and let me know what ROM/Radio and download time
I am also on CM7 and can verify what you are saying. On the speedtest.net app I was averaging between 3-6Mbps down and on speakeasy.net/speedtest I was averaging 16-20Mbps down. Something is off there lol.
Just use the website. Problem solved.

The only problem with this is that the large file download from Microsoft revealed just over 7Mbps...
This means the speedtest app is pretty accurate.
With that said; I'd like to see a few folks running MR1 download the file to see if the speed is nearly the same but with speedtest reporting 20Mbps.
maybe the speakeasy speed test is the inaccurate one, opposite of what people are thinking...
I've seen speeds of 3-20+mbps on speedtest app and on the speakeasy website test...
I would imagine many places throttle connections so one user doesn't soak up too much bandwidth. While places that do speedtests don't throttle as that's the whole point of the test.
I have a 10Mbit connection at work but many sites don't give me 10Mbit, however I can download from two sites and max it in the combined rates.
i just upgraded to the Verizon update so my phone is stock with root. Ive noticed that wifi seems to perform very bad. My home internet connection is 5 megs up and 30 megs down, however while doing speed tests, i see speeds that bounce between 5 megs down to 17 megs down... but it never maxes out my internet connection like my iphone 4s. is this a rom issues? or hardware limitation? i think on 1 test only i saw it hit the full 30 megs down.... but it is very inconsistent on holding any speed...
next question, is i love Miui.. and i think i found a good rom on here. however there are elements from touchwiz that i would love to keep on miui like the calendar, calculator and music player(because of miui refusal to support playlists). Anyone know of a way to load these apps? is there a package available? Ive done a search with no luck... is it possible to load a deodexed rom and save the apps and restore them on miui? any one with any luck in this area let me know...
in regard to the first question

How are your measuring the speed? Try going to speakeasy.net/speedtest from your stock browser, you have to be flash enabled for that to work. The apps are horribly inaccurate to measure the internet speed, specially if you have a lot going on the background.
If you are using speedtest app , make sure you are on max performance setting and now max visual setting.
Remember that android is the master of all trades, it multifunctions. iphones focuses all its resources on the app you are running up front. And yes, internet speed, although strictly speaking has to do with the line and modem quality, a processor has to process the data, if something is keeping it busy, it will show a slower speed.
