Everytime I run a speed test it will change from Modesto being closer to me which is true but sometimes it will say Kansas is closer. Even though kansas is really far. Anybody else experience that?

Yes i Have that problem now. I tried enabling GPS and clearing the data but that did not fix it either.
uninstalling the app did not fix the location problem.
I connected to my home WiFi and it found the sever that was really close to me.

I think its because of how ATT assigns ip addresses. If you do a who is of your ip it will be somewhere far far away from you lol.

Leave it on the main screen for about 3-5 min then after that go to settings and look for the closets server.

Made no difference. It has to be based on ip address and not phone location. Idk.
Edit: just confirmed this. I turned on my WiFi and it found the nearest to me.

How does Speedtest.net know where I am?
Your location is determined based on your IP address. Speedtest.net then uses GeoIP data from MaxMind to determine your approximate location. We have recently added Location-Aware browsing such as this one from Firefox all of which require explicit acceptance by you to better refine your location. All of these services are utilized to better serve you, most importantly determining the optimal testing server from among the hundreds we have available. Learn more about the MaxMind GeoIP data.

Why is my location not recognized?
If you are testing over a Wifi connection your location is determined by the modem's GeoIP information provided by Maxmind's database. Your GeoIP information must be updated with Maxmind's database before the change will be reflected in the application. If you are testing over 3G, 4G, Edge or a similar alternative, GPS is used to determine your location. Be sure you have enabled GPS locating enabled on your mobile device.

This seems to be correct because this app uses GPS when I open it. But it never seems to find my location.
Just connect to wifi, open speed test let it find server, which with my experience will be the closest to you run it once, open server changesettings make sure you selected closest to you, disable wifi and then run. Takes a bit but thats how I always get the server in Las Vegas

You can't shut speed test down use the task manager. Connect like I said make sure you just opened settings. Then while its opened and your in the server you want, push and hold the home button on the bottom and switch to settings. Turn off wifi and then use the task manager again and switch to speed test app and bam there ya go

It probably enables "mimo" or "afterburner". Serious, look them up.

yeah i just noticed this yesterday when i was on wifi at my house. but it will give u the best performance using wifi. but i saw some videos going against the iphone 4 and evo 4g and they always use wifi so i left a comment letting them know to make sure that is turned on so it would be a fair match up even though the mytouch 4g beat the iphone 4 and evo at pretty much everything lol.

There is a monitor application that comes on the MIUI rom that does this. You could probably pull the apk from the rom if you don't want to use MIUI. Or it could be a market app for all I know.

Data counter widget.
I rooted the phone and without a custom rom i get the h+ with the check mark. But I get no connection.
So I tried to install a custom mod and now i dont get the 4g speed i get an h with an up down arrow but I can connect to internet.
Can anyone help me. Please
Make sure the battery cover and sd card/sim card cover it on. Check settings>wireless and networks> mobile networks, and check your apn settings.
the h or h+ is irrelevant.
rooting procedure breaks the h+ connection. known fact. cm7 speedtest=.62 megabits down. .12 up. stock s on in same spot= 2.30 megabits down. .76 up.

Then there is something wrong with your flash. CM7 gets me the exact same speeds as any sense ROM.
Custom ROMs do NOT have the h+ icon. That is all it is. You may have to edit build.prop to get the 14.4mbit connectivity back. But no towers can even go near that fast right now.

Yup. LeeDroid's rom shows 3G for HSPA, and H for HSPA+, from what I can tell. I've had it cycle through the icons after a reboot. I haven't messed with a rom yet that had the H+ icon.
I just got 1514k / 1321k using the Gingerbread version of Android Revolution. Mine only shows an "H" icon.

I personally used the hack kit before bubby's came out.
Custom ROMs tend to remove the H+ icon, so all you will see is an H.
The speed varies on some ROMs. Edit your build.prop and reboot twice, and you should be good to go. I got 2.5ish on stock ROM, I get 5+ now.
GL!
I know mine varies all the time depening on the time of day. Used bubbys on 3.5 rev rom and have seen 4.6 and 1.9.. it varies though
Waiting on the new gb we will see what speeds we get there

I just got my new AT&T HTC One X today.
I am having a weird problem where 90% of the time I can't make it through a speedtest without it stopping prematurely. It will start and then just stops in the middle of the test. When this happens all the data on the phone stops working and I am forced to restart the phone to get it working again.
When I use all other apps the data will work with no problem but when I fire up the speedtest app and try it run it, it just freezes and stops working. Then all the data on the phone stops working again until i restart the phone.
Is anyone else seeing this same problem when on an LTE connection and trying to do a speedtest with this phone?

I have been experiencing this as well, along with the wifi bug. I get a network connection error and the test stops. I also have been having trouble having the speedtest be able to find a server - it will take awhile trying to locate the closest server and then when it finally does, it usually isn't even close to me...
hey there I/'m living in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
LIME the network provider upgraded from EDGE to 4g on Friday, but I realise since then my phone is only showing H (3G) and not H+(4G).
i am wondering if this has anything to do with the rom i'm currently running (trickdroid) or not?
I was in the city centre friday night where they had the launch and pretty close to the cell tower so I know distance isn't the issue
Thanks for the help in advance
Most roms don't display the +. Its purely cosmetic. Only roms I know that display it are based on the inspire 3.20 version.
Again its purely cosmetic and does not effect speed. Heck the phone is only capable of 14mbs Max. I would say 3.5 g Max
Thanks for the response I was just wondering. Makes sense with what you are saying. And I just realise something I tried another Rom, it wasn't even loading so had to restor this on and realised that while booting up it went from E to 3G to H. But I don't think I'm getting even 2 mb from this will take a screen shot and post to you.thx again for the response.

Depending on what ROM you're using, I've found Speedtest to be somewhat unreliable for whatever reason. For example, I'm running Sabsa Prime 7.0. When I do a test on wifi, I get 15+mbps down and around 4mbps up with 30 ping. When I run it on 4g, I get 7kbps down and 2mbps up with 150 ping. Obviously my actual 4g speeds are not 7kbps. On ARHD with the same radio the test showed 6-8mbps down and 3.5mbps up with 70 ping.
In summary, unless you feel that your real use speed is really that slow, forget what Speedtest says.
Ok cool got you.
But I can tell it's really slow as well. I will try one of those other rims cause this one iy takes a while to switch to programs etc. And I don't have a lot running in the background. The only thing I've realise though is that I've not yet learned how to bring over my settings ( WiFi and apn etc even my contacts ) when going from one Rom.to the the next.

Actually...
If you edit your build.prop, faster speeds can be obtained.
Also H+ is 4G, but its not like LTE speeds or anywhere close. It is more like a couple mbs above 3G.
Speedtest is fine. Your data icon will sometimes lie to you. No joke. It'll say H+, but in reality it is 3G. All depends on your signal strength.

You'll need an app like "Root Explorer". Through the app you navigate to "/system" and long press the "build.prop" and edit. You may encounter an error message with something like "file is in read-only" which then you will have to change the settings to "write only" or something like that to edit which can be done in the explorer app. Once you get that far you can edit the build.prop to your liking. For settings that people have found useful search the forums.
