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

near Boston.
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)

HSPA / HSDPA question

I did an at&t pushed update on my wifes stock motorola bravo last night.... After doing the update I noticed under mobile network type her phone now has HSPA. I am on a rooted HSUPA rom on my inspire and under network type on my phone it say HSDPA.
Is my wifes stock phone getting a better connection than my rooted rom'd phone.
Thanks

Have you tested each devices throughput yet?

Just using speed test and they were close to the same ... That being said I live in a crappy location for checking speeds using speed test or something .... I can run a test and got 2.0 down 1.5 up and then hit the restest button and get
100k down and 100k up.
So my speed test results are all over the place
If I remeber correctly on her bravo under network connection type before the update last night it use be UMTS

Well the rooting process and flashing a Rom breaks the "4g" connection. I was on the inspired saga Rom yesterday and it showed the h+ icon so I can I speed test. I couldn't even get above 1 megabit so I returned my phone to stock because I'm getting this one replaced. I ran a speed test again and get 2 to 2 and a half down and 1 up

You caught my attention when I read that you were getting 5mb/s HSUPA speeds. But then I looked at your screenshot and you're maxing out at 1.3 up just like the rest of us (your higher upload speeds have the wifi icon next to them).

I see how what I wrote could easily be mistaken. What I meant was 1.2 to 1.5 up. I'm sorry, I worded that poorly.

Got 5.4mb/s after update.

Just wanted to show off. How do I take a screen shot if im not rooted. All the apps in the market say you need root.

Use a digital camera...

There's a way with the SDK, but I don't remember how to do it.

Using the sdk is easy. Once you download it, you can have it setup and working in under ten minutes. It's a pain to have to do it this way, but if you don't want to root, it is a viable option.

Ok, ill just do this....

So would I just be showing you up if I didn't do update and got over 7 mbps? Lol honestly first time happened for me. I think att upgrading here since it randomly gets terrible then this...
I'm using one of Adams roms. Says name in sig not sure if that helps.. never have changed my radio since whatever it put during rooting process.

Lol well i guess i forgot lol but ya, it is pretty good, im happy... for the most part....

The sad thing is I ran a speed test on my old iPhone 4 (used by my wife now). First test right off the bat I got 5.2 MB/s down LOL. The "4G" Inspires aren't much faster than the "3G" iPhone 4's due to AT&T's bull****. If I recall correctly the iPhone 4 is HSPA but not HSPA+. The Inspire is theoretically capable of 14.4 MB/s but we're only getting half that if we're lucky. Only when AT&T gets true 4G (LTE) will we start to see the 4G LTE phones start to pull away speed wise. Anyway, 2-4 MB/s is more than enough for most typical smart phone tasks, these days anyway.

I think everybody streatches the truth(carriers), but it is "mobile" technology but ya 2-3 is just about right, but in this same area my bros iphone4 only gets 1-2 so i was just impressed a lil at first, my G2 in this same area got 8 at best but 7 constantly in my house. 5 when im out and about. And just wondering what type of network is this phone really using? What is umts?

Was wondering what sideloader update? I get roughly 6.5mbps here by the Texas motor speedway.
I have a HTC inspire 4g
Using coredroid 6.6
Also wondering what does overclocking do to your phone?
I have no-frills
And also what does the governer do?
On there is has choices for smartass. What is that????
And many others would someone please let me know what they are and how to properly use them please.
One more thing.... Do they upload ROMS on here for the mobile application?

-Are you wondering what "sideloader update is"? are are you asking what update did I get?
-Overclocking just raises your CPU to speeds that your phone wasnt originally intended to do. It will make your phone a bit snappier and some things will run faster, but you must be very careful not to raise the CPU level too far, you could damage your phone permanently.
-To overclock you must have a custom "kernel" with the ability to "overclock". If you have flashed a custom rom then chances are you have one. Or you can download one and flash it after the rom, BUT, make sure it is compatible with your rom or could get bootloops and have to restore a backup. ALAWAYS MAKE BACKUPS WITH CLOCKWORK! they will save your life!
-The governer, in my understanding, just tells the CPU what speeds and frequencies to use and when to use them, i always just imagine a highway of cars, the cars would be the information, and the highway the paths to where the information goes, the governer just manages all this information in ways to conserve battery life or just speed things up, Smartass is a Schedular that somebody made that manages it all verry well. and kindof revolutionized linux systems.. or is that BFS?
- Just use smartass as your daily governer. Make a profile for SCREEN OFF in setcpu, use powersave or conservative and put the CPU speeds at 245/345 or somethin low like that. and you should be good.

WHat update? the hsupa update??lol that was like a month ago....

Throttled Data Speeds with 2.3.4

I've been messing with 2.3.4 and the latest radios and in places where I get 40+mbps I've been pulling 10mbps max. I have a feeling each radio update fixes connectivity but messes up the data performance.
Just reverted back to rooted OTA froyo 2.2.1 with 627r radio and the speeds are back to normal.
Anyone else seeing the same issue with the new OTA?

I can confim the reduced data speeds. My phone updated by itself.
I used to get steady 20mbps, now I'm pressed to pass 9mbps.
I will say though, the upload has improved.

I don't mean to piss in your corn flakes, but I'm NOT seeing this. Not that speed tests even report remotely accurate numbers. Most of the time my downloads are WAY to fast to be supported by the numbers I get back on many of them. I have no issues getting 35 to 42 Mbit out to New York.

Allow me to explain.
Buffers in the Froyo kernel were outrageous and misleading. They caused tests to be misleading, and basically false.
The Gingerbread kernel has more reasonable buffer levels. Hence what you see is more accurate.
I can make a kernel mod that will change the buffers to see that you are getting 100 down, and 50 up. Doesn't make it true.

Actually I happened to have a Pantech UML290 AirCard and when swapping SIM from Thunderbolt, I'm getting the same exact speeds as what I see on my bolt. So at the locations where I'm seeing 50-60mbps I get them on both my computer AND my Bolt using Froyo and stock radio.
Yesterday, same location, 53mbps on my computer, 9mbps on Gingerbread Bolt.

Serial data transfer rates cannot be equated accurately to megabytes per second.

I always thought the old numbers were wonky. Speed tests on the TB would always show ~20Mb while my wifi connected Xoom would report ~9-10Mb.
Now, both the TB and the Xoom report ~9-10Mb.

[Q] Signal difference between AOSP and Sense?

Ok most of the newer ROMs let you display the signal in the status bar as a number and I've noticed that with the AOSP ROM (U.K.E. v1.4.6 for the test I did) displays a lot lower numbers (usually between -75 and -95) than the Sense ROM (MikShifted v2.1 for the test). The Sense ROM usually displays between -98 to -109, but when you go into "About Phone" in settings it and look at "Signal Strength" it always says a number in the same range as the AOSP ROM (-75 and -95). I have no knowledge of radio theory or anything of the like, could anybody explain this? Are the Sense ROM numbers just off in the status bar? Or do AOSP ROMs get better signal without the Sense overlay? I have noticed this trend in all the Sense and AOSP ROMs that have this feature, not just these two. I am just curious if somebody could explain it. Thanks in advance!

Each phone will be different... My shift, has weaker signal running aosp as compared to sense, it's very minimal difference but I really notice it when using 4G or when on wifi and moving away from my signal... I could be wrong but I think I read that aosp signal strength was off.
Sent from my PG06100

I would agree with drob311, my signal strength/data speeds seems to be a bit faster when running Sense. It's not a huge difference because I definitely prefer AOSP to Sense but when I am running a Sense ROM it has a slight edge over AOSP.. Just in my experience.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Not that I run AOSP all that much. But the few times I have messed with it, my Signal hasn't been all that good. Again as drob, and crump mentioned not a huge difference. Just enough to be able to tell it's slower. But I've never done any "real" tests. Also, I'm certain there are other variables involved that I'm not accounting for.

Oh I just noticed it and thought it was interesting and thought I'd see if anybody knew why.. Thanks for the responses tho

It was more of a "Am I seeing this right experiment" than a real experiment. I don't know but when I did a speed test, flushing all caches and overclocked to the same speed, the averages where pretty much the same, just wondered if the signal strength was effected, not the performance.

The true speeds are the same (on average), and what you see with the AOSP ROM is the true strength. The sense ROMs exaggerate the signal to give customers a placebo benefit.

Well HERE is a good link to start with. Also THIS is another one. Both links have a bunch of other links connected. Should be a start .

The actual signal strength does not change from one ROM to the next. That would be impossible to do at the ROM level. The only thing that can change is the algorithm that takes the dBm signal strength given to it at the output of the transceiver and "translates" that into a readable quantity. So, if the ROM "samples" the signal more times per "x" cycle than another, the "signal strength" will be more averaged over a longer time period. The longer "sampling" time, the less averaged it will be. Then you have the unknown of HOW the ROM developer uses that information to write to the screen.
The hardware inside the phone. the distance it is from the transmitter and the environment in between is what determines your signal strength. The ONLY way to increase it or decrease it is to build in an RF amplifier or attenuator. That isn't something that can be done in firmware or software.
To many people get WAY to anal about what their different "Meters" on their phones are telling them without knowing WHAT those "meters" are actually doing.

Well that is because of the carrier setting it to only show 3g even during 1x. Sprint feels the need to lie to its customers making them think they are in 3g coverage when they are not. Easy fix to have it actually call on the correct array of images but IMHO we shouldnt have to do that little edit to correct it.

Well that is because of the carrier setting it to only show 3g even during 1x. Sprint feels the need to lie to its customers making them think they are in 3g coverage when they are not. Easy fix to have it actually call on the correct array of images but IMHO we shouldnt have to do that little edit to correct it.

Yeah I already knew about that, that's why I mentioned that. Like I said I get better consitant data speeds on AOSP roms then on sense where the bars are constantly going up/down. For instance I'll be browsing on the web browser and loading a webpage is very sporatic on Sense Roms.
