I have a thunderbolt and although when I run speedtests on the phone I get 10+ almost always. When i tether using wireless tether or barnacle I am lucky if I get 1.5. Is this the same issue on the charge? Are you able to run a speedtest on your laptop connected to wifi and get fast speeds?
Thanks
I get around 10 mb/s on speedtests app but I ALWAYS have a 1 bar at my house, it's probably just my low connection but who knows, 10mb/s is still insanely fast
I get about 15 down doing a speed test tethering from my laptop. Average download speeds on torrents, I can hit over 2 MB down. Cant complain.
Hey guys, just did some Wifi testing on my phone, getting some really bad results. Wondering if you guys are getting similar results as I am. I'm using speedtest site on my home computer and speedtest app for my phone. Both the computer and phone are sitting next to the router, no more than 1 foot away.
Just to note, I use Verizon FIOS as my home connection.
Computer results are almost identical after numerous tries, numbers don't differ.
29-31 Mbps down
23-25 Mbps up
Ping: 9-11ms
Now the phone through wifi at the same distance.
11.74 Mbps down
4.2 Mbps up
ping: 58ms
15.81 Mbps down
1.9 Mbps up
ping: 63
11.72 Mbps down
1.64 Mbps up
ping: 175
8.27 mbps down
1.63 mbps up
ping: 166
13.41 mbps down
0.75 mbps up
ping 80
and it just keeps going inconsistent at that rate, the upload especially, never seems to be able to get past 5 mbps on Wifi.
4g speed is fine though at about 12 mbps down and 5 mbps up at 50-80 ping.
I still have my Droid INC so i'm testing the wifi on that as well, getting a lot better speed at about 20 mpbs down, 12 up.
Anyone experiencing similar results or is my charge just defective.
My wifi is terrible on this device. I will have full wifi service in my livingroom with all of my devices (I use an airport extreme wireless router) and cant even get wifi at the same spot with my charge...its pretty disappointing. Other devices include my thunderbolt, incredible, iphone, xoom, ipad, and ipod touch...not to mention my laptop...idk if its the EE4 radio or what the hell would cause this. I've tried different kernels with no luck at all...
I've noticed the WiFi signal is weak when I first unlock the phone, but then after a minute of use, it gains strength. Maybe its a battery saver thing?
I plugged my thunderbolt into my pc for the first time and tethered with pdanet and it went great. Averaged like 20mbps over 4g. When trying today I only get like 3mbps despite having the same signal strength. Whats even more odd is that when I perform the speed test on the phone itself im back up in the 20mbps range. Any suggestions? i'm running bamf 3.0
Dont use PDAnet. Cant you use the built in tethering option if you're running a cooked rom?
im getting 3.5 down and .7 up. is that normal? how can I increase my speed
how do you make the hotspot faster i'm only getting 10mbps and the speed is 50mbps without hotspot
