Post your speeds!

Well I figured since we are on the eve of the Thunderbolt I'd get this thread up and running. As the first LTE phone on Verizon please share with us the speeds you are getting, your location, and if possible a screen shot or picture.
Since I opened the thread I'll go first.
12MBps Down, 30.5Mbps Up

Very pleased with the results, guess Verizon doesn't want the same criticism as AT&T so they over compensated on the upload lmao. Ran the test 10 times, saw the upload as high as 38Mbps, and as low as 29Mbps. Download speeds varied from 7-15Mbps. not too shabby

holy ****!

6.31mbs download and 29.17 mbs upload speed. Near Philadelphia

I see that you have the charger plugged in. Is this because performing a single speed test drains the battery JK! I seriously want to know what real world battery life before I get this device.
Awesome speed BTW!

Can not wait! Finally after all this time....

No idea on battery life quite yet. It was plugged in because it was just out of the box lol

Here's mine:
Location: Washington DC

Now THAT is 4g - props to Verizon for building a truly "next level" type of network.
I hope verizon ****s on At&t from a marketing perspective.

I have got 5-10 down and 30-55 up

4.4mbps down and 31mbps up Northern VA

northern VA

1800 on Quadrant. Not that it means anything but coming from the Incredible it is definately faster.

here is mine, VZW is effin fast...
EDIT, re-posted pic, got even better...

Part of me is weary that once everyone starts to get LTE service on Verizon, it's going to bog down and not be nearly as amazing as it is currently. I definitely can't see how they intend to keep their upload rate at 20+ mbps lol

15-20Mbps down in Troy, Michigan.

I just clocked 15 down and 28 up in North Atlanta. Needless to say I havent gotten much of anything done at work.

Those are some big time #'s. I'm currently getting on average during peak hours 4.8 to 6.2 mb on the DL and a very steady 1.4 mb on UL with my Nexus One on T-Mobile. How much faster can you DL a web page? Does the phone react to those big DL #'s, can you tell the difference in speeds by watching the web pages DL on your phone???? Those are very impressive speeds, Is it worth changing carriers and phones for the increased speeds? Are the increased speeds going to give a better user experience?

A lot of these questions can't be answered right now. Wait until there is actually a decent amount of load on the 4G network. Give it a month or 2, then these speed tests won't be so astronomical anymore, and we can get a sense of how 4g REALLY is. (I hope the network really is that good and we can get something like 10d/4u on heavy traffic)

[MODEM][ODIN] EP4P Modems

For anyone who wants to flash just the EP4P Modems only. All radios are independent of rom version.
I take no credit for this whatsoever, as it was simply pulled from the most recent leak by P3Droid. Flash at your own risk! If you need to be explained how to do it you most likely shouldn't!

Seems to be working great! Up/down is 12MB/9MB. Sometimes I get 30MB/10MB, but my average is 23MB/7MB. I'm not complaining. Thanks!

Been using this modem build for almost a week now...so far these are the clear gingerbread favorite in my opinion. great data speeds and almost no 4g to 3g drop-offs. i'd definitely give it a try over any of the other gingerbread modems.

Better Wifi
I installed this an have already noticed a drastic improvement in Wi Fi signal. Thanks!

I am getting the garble robotic voice crap on this modem anybody else have that issue im using Humble 5 at the moment.

I've been running these with the Humble package, and haven't been getting good results. Data drops and slower speeds. EP1W seems best IMO.

Gotta be better than my data on and off for days.Gonna try it again.

I still get a little robot voice too. Maybe not as bad as it was. However the terribly annoying cut in/out seems to be gone for me.

Flash radios and no data coverage.
I've tried other radios and every time I lose data. I'm I missing something?
Odin modem and everything passes fine. Once phone reboots I lose data coverage.

Well it took a while to get into download mode, but finally and this puppy is installed. Like someone said, there is a huge increase in WIFi signal and the 3g signal is holding mostly steady at -95 dbm which is excellent in my house. It usually is and -105 or -115 dbm.

[MODEMS] I897 Captivate Modem Comparisons

This (not very scientific) test was all done on Serenity KJ3 4.2. I ran the test 3 times and in order to get an average. It was done in the same location, with the same server chosen in SpeedTest Mobile app. I did this mainly to pinpoint which captivate modem worked best for me in my area (South East Florida), so keep in mind that you will probably get different results depending on where you are.
I'm just sharing this in case someone finds it useful. I'll try and add new modems as they come out.

Problem is that you're not the only one on the network when the tests are being run!

No, that's not a problem ..

Well, I ran this at like 4 am when I couldn't get to sleep.. Don't know how many people were on at the time, but I'm sure it's less than usual lol
Either way, like I said in the OP, this a very non-scientific test.

What about 1900 vs 850mhz?
I've done the "test" in the past with i9000 modems.... but I separated the frequencies cause it makes a difference.
Also signal strength..... I made sure that I had greater than -85db

Good suggestions.. I'll do a more in depth test when I get a chance. I just got lazy since these modems are RAT Restricted, and doing the little trick to change frequencies takes longer..

no problem... I do think though that the RAT issue is phone related...... I have no issues getting in to service mode.

running miui rom, cm7 kernel, and living in south america, which modem will be better for me?
Any help will be apreciated.

Interesting, thanks!

Flashed recovery file and now only 3g

Ok first off sorry if this has been asked already I looked around but couldn't find anything.
I wanted to see what progress had been made on the lord's 4.0.3 beta so I downloaded the zip. Made a CWM backup and flashed the beta. Then I was finished looking around I wiped/factory reset and the cache. Then used CWM's recovery to get back to my old and stable rom.
I rebooted many times but cant seem to get back my 4gish connection (I'm on AT&T). I checked the radio and its fine.
Please help an explanation as to y would be great. I'm trying to learn as much about this as I can so I can maybe start a little development in my spake time.
Thank you and dry again it this is a repost.

What speeds are you getting? There may be network issues in your area.

I'm only getting about 0.5 to 1.5 mbps. I had averaged around 3.0 and sometimes even up to 5 sometimes before.
Sent from my HTC Inspire

I have the same problem.
I'm starting to think it might be a problem in the build.prop or framework.apk configuration data of Lord's ICS.
I've noticed that I can re-flash my radio to 26.10.04.03_M and get back to HSDPA for like two hours, then it gets stuck in 3G.
I recovered Android Revolution 6.3.1 and it also was stuck on 3G, this worries me that it might be a radio problem.
Still looking for a solution, if I found one I'll let you know.

Thanks
I just flashed Lords v1.5 and my signal is good so far. My download speeds are extremely good compared to what I had before. Averaging around 4-5 mbps! We will see through out the week how it goes though.

Seeing great speeds on V1.5 also. i'm thinking it may be a service issue. I can get 3-4 mbps averaged, and then depending on location from my main tower only 3 blocks away, will see a drop of nearly 50% in speed. then returning to the area will restore speed to normal.
I cant say for sure, but my opinion is that the kernel in "not" the problem...and the current hack kit radio is running just fine also...
I'll monitor for a few days, and post any negative connection issues. (if any)...g

I am using Lord's 2.0 and works just fine in the ogden/ ut area... Two people in UT? lol

[Q] Wifi slow with cm7.1 dhd

I have recently noticed that my wifi has dropped in download speed since changing over to cm7. I've been trying to read up on the cm7 forum. But its a daunting task and haven't found anyone with the same issue. I went from averaging around 18mbps to 22mbps download speed to around 6mbps on wifi. Upload doesn't seem to be affected at all, still running at around 4mbps. Ping time has also gone up.
I work for the internet provider so I have trouble shot everything on my end.
Just wondering if there is a patch or fix or even somewhere to read up on this issue. Cause right now my h+ speed is almost as fast as my wifi and that sucks.
Radio 12.39.60.19u_26.06.04.06_M

Well I've tweeked about everything I can think of with no avail. Still can't get the wifi back to stock performance.
The thing that boggles me the most is at one point I did a battery pull and on reboot my phone for about 60 sec. had peak wifi download speed. But after that it went back to the same slow speeds I reported in the first post. Anyone with any ideas or has had and fixed this problem please let me know.

what mode is your phone connecting to your wireless router? you should be able to see that on the routers status page.

What do you mean by mode? Its running dhcp/static IP, wpa2psk-tkip security. Running on channel 11 mode supports B,G,N bands.
Doesn't seem to show what band my phone is actually connecting in the status.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

I really don't think its the router. Running blast internet on the newest gateway Comcast offers. Plus I've changed all the settings removed all security and same issue.
Wifi worked fine on stock rom before and after s-off with bubbys root. My girlfriends optimistic/Phoenix droid gets good wifi.
Wifi has been choppy and slow every since I loaded cm7. No change when switching kernels from cm7's to lorDmods.
Talked to lordmod and the issue doesn't seem to be in his kernel. Which I figured because it was since I didn't work with cm7s either.
From what I can tell I have the right radio combo.
I'm wondering if there is a setting in like build.prop to adjust the band. It seems like I'm running b or g bandwidth. Or a conflicting code?

Not really sure what did it. But just for the record.
Loaded leedroidv5.1.1..... [edit].... full factory wipe internal and SD, Reloaded cm7, manually loaded all apps, flashed GPS patch (works great), changed wifi scan in build.prop from 15 to 180, reboot and golden!!!!!
It was either the GPS patch or the build.prop edit or a combo of the two that did it.
So happy!

please dont post negative comments about roms. Lee does an amazing job and puts in a lot of hours of work for his products. glad you fixed your wifi though.

I agree I think leedroid is a very well done rom. Dont mean it negatively. Just to heavy for me not a big sense fan. Just switched to that rom to see if I had the same issue on a sense rom.
