Holy crap! My wifi download speeds are averaging 800kbps, while my Droid X is getting 8mbps. And yes, I am on wifi. Upload speeds are actually a little faster than the X at 2700kbps versus 2200. What gives?

try menu-settings-wireless & networks-wifi settings-hit menu again to pull up the advanced menu. From there I set my wifi sleep policy to never and there is a toggle the best wifi-performance, which I haven't tried yet because I never needed it. Have you tried that yet?
Wifi calling appears to be the culprit. I rebooted the phone and ran speedtest several times and got download speeds of 12-13mbps but once I enabled Wifi calling the dl speeds dropped to ~800kbps and remained there even after force closing Wifi calling. Confirmed! A second reboot gives me my speeds back.
Yeah same here when I restart it I get the speed back up but again after awhile it slows down big time don't know how to fix it

I just finished a factory reset and the only app I have installed is speedtest.net. With wifi calling on I cannot reproduce the problem now. I hope the factory reset fixed it but I suspect the problem may be caused by some other app I installed earlier. Google Voice maybe? More investigation...
Nevermind. I installed GV and my download slowed again so then I uninstalled it but the issue was still there. I had just booted up the phone before I was trying this so maybe it just happens over time. Anybody else reproduce this?
Same here, I pretty much can pinpoint the Android market at this point. After freshly restoring my WiFi I get 20k Download/ 5k Upload using speedtest.net app. After visiting the Android market and screwing around in there a bit I get 3k Download/5k Upload every time. Tried with multiple apps it seems to be the market that causes this every time for some reason.
I don't know about the market being the cause. I cycled the wifi off then on again and now my speeds are back. I even opened the Market again once I read your post but my speeds aRe still normal. Maybe you have to download an app from the market over wifi. Checking now.
Yeah I don't think its the market I restarted my phone got the speeds back up then went to market speeds were good then after awhile the speed dropped back down as low as 400kbs compared to the 4 or 5 mbs I got after restarting.

I think I figured it out. I have been playing with my phone for about an hour and a half and I could not get it to slow down until... I plugged it in to charge. I ran a test right after I plugged it in and sure enough it was slow. I then cycled wifi and got my speeds back. Can someone else try this to confirm?
Nevermind. That didnt work the second time I tried it.
Bump. Just got a Sensation today and am having the same issue. Anybody figured a workaround or fix yet?

Mine can not hang on to a network for nothing, even after enabling "never sleep" policy. Speeds are random: sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's ok.
It looks like it's been a few months since anyone has posted on this problem. I just got my Sensation and am having the same issue. I also have a My Touch 4G Slide and noticed that it did the same thing. But once I went into the Wifi settings and check the max speed box, it solved that issue right away. I tried it on my Sensation with no luck. I have to disable and enable the Wifi in order to get my speed back up. Anyone have any updates/fixes on this problem? Is this a software or hardware issue?

So I checked my data usage today. I was actually logging in to find authorized accessories and noticed some insanely high data usage. It seems in 36 hours I used as much data as I used in a month on the EVO. Granted in the last month since I got the XOOM my data usage is closer to 400MB, but still I am worried by usage of 100MB in a day.
EVERYONE check your data usage and see if you also have insanely high amounts of data usage. Anyone know a way to track data usage by app?
The only thing I have that syncs on the phone is my google account, calendar, gmail, contacts. It is the same as it was on my EVO.

Someone else pointed out the confusion. Like the Knossos, this is a brand new account. I was previously with Sprint so this line/account is less than 48 hours old.
Yeah, I figured.
If you're worried about it check out 3g watchdog... Make sure you adjust all the settings.

Yeah, I'm already at 1.3 gig and I'm only 10 days into my billing cycle. Which I knew my usage was going to go up. I'll be tethering much more now. But I don't see any "unusual" usage on mine.
Something definately going on. 2 day old Verizon customer and I'm at 135 MB.
My fear in all this is that I need to make sure that I keep my data usage under 5GB a month. I want to be prepared for the day when unlimited data goes the way of the dodo bird. I also don't know where that data came from. I am using 3G watchdog now, but I wish it didnt have that stupid tray icon.

I can say mine was off yesterday in its box pretty much all day, and then I finally got time today to turn it on, but I haven't configured it. I did however use google to look up something quickly tonight and my usage so far is 2.72MB. I can say since I was smartphoneless for the last 7 weeks this is actual data, but seems high given I did a short google search.
yeah something is going on. I just signed up with Verizon yesterday, I literally charged the phone last night and downloaded all my apps today. already at 775Mb! What gives? I haven't used the hotspot, REALLY WEIRD!

Speed tests with the speedtest.net app use about 10M down and 2M up each test. Running that 10 times over 2 days could easily account for 100+ MB.

4G switched on for the first time for me the other day here in Fresno, but it's back on 3G at the moment. When it's up, it seems pretty damn fast. Though it does have an issue where it'll show the 4G icon at the top, but not have any connection for a minute or so. 3G did that too.

Maybe they're just testing it in waves, or something, but when they first turned it on I got 4G at my house for about three days. Now it reverts back to 3G unless I go about a block away from my house. Sigh.
This is what I get one I try to switch over to lte, it connects to network but no actually data connection.

I just got a sensation and I absolutely love it! I just have some questions.
First off, I have a great connection with My Home Wifi and T-Mobiles 4g network, so what should I be connected to at my house? What saves the most battery?
If it is wifi, how do I disable the Wifi Calling Notification that just tells me "Wifi Calling Ready" Like I get it.. I don't need the ugly notification reminding me. I can't find out how to disable the notification, without disabling my calling....

Dude, battery life shouldn't be your main concern when it comes to WiFi vs. mobile data. You should be using WiFi whenever possible so as to save as much of your allotment of data as possible. As pointed out, WiFi can be faster than mobile data. There's no reason to be using mobile data when WiFi is available unless your battery is extremely low (which shouldn't be an issue when you are at your house).

The JuiceDefender app is good here also, as you can configure it to turn on your wifi radio when you are at a known location such as your home (it learns and knows where you are based on which cell towers you are connected to), the wifi then gets turned off when you are out and about.
Also, it depends on the strength of your wifi - if you have bad wifi signal in some you might be better off with using your 4g network so that you don't drain your battery by having your wifi radio on all the time

wifi definitely saves the battery at least in my case. keeping phone on tmous signals is a big battery drain. also i will recommend using juice defender to prolong your battery life even more.

Nick, I'd say your speeds are kinda bad. The speeds I got in my test are much lower than what I'm used to getting. I'm typically in the area of about 1.2 megs down.
Oh, and you guys who get 4G coverage, I hate you.
I know how you feel about 4g I use to have it until I moved for college. :/.....but is there any way to speed up my 3g other than changing my http proxy port to 0 and http proxy address to 0.0.0.0 because I have already done that.

Usually my uploads are a little better but coverage is iffy since I am in the basement of my work. Sprint has installed some sort of booster down here which is why I am able to get coverage at all and is the only carrier I could use down here. The speeds/connection quality are similar if I go upstairs out the dungeon as well.
