just ran a speed test and here are the results.
Ping:265ms
Download: 3.92mbps
Upload: 0.35 mbps
wats up with this im pretty sure thats very low. I just flashed a new radio (KB3) and im not sure how to raise the speeds.

your speed is based on your carrier and location. simms22 posted a couple of lines you can add onto your build.prop (root needed) to improve speeds
use search to find it. it was in the cm7 alpha nightly thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5123531&postcount=46

im a bit confused by that what exactly do i enter in the stuff in bold or the stuff in the boxes?

Rooted Using Kernels from Adrynalyne- Anybody Getting Slow Upload Speeds?

Sorry- I'm new so I can't post in the development section but I'm using the 4.3 versions of Adrynalyne's kernels and I'm getting slower donwload speeds and much slower upload speeds (closer to 500k). When I flashed back to the stock kernel the dl and upl speeds went back to normal. Anybody else getting this?

Kernel has absolutely nothing to do with your network speeds. That was likely a fluke.
Network speeds are affected by a number of things-signal strength and network congestion being the biggest factors.
Do several tests different times of day and you will see that 3g can vary from 30 to 2100 kbps download speeds. As for 4g.. Idk what typical speeds are, but it will have a similar range.

Thanks AdhvanIt for the response but I tried testing them within minutes of flashing kernels and did numerous tests. With stock kernel I was getting about 8-12mbs donwloads and believe it or not upwards to 25+ mbs uploads (and that's consistently) while with the Adrynalyne's ROMS (using different versions- a-c) I was getting about 3-6 mbs downloads and 1-2 mbs uploads. Granted 3-6 is good enough but the disparity between 3-6 and 8-12 for uploads and 2 and 25 is quite a difference. You mention that kernels have nothing to do with speed but I was wondering if undervolting has any effect on the radio? Is anybody else having donwload/upload issues?
The upload speeds on the speed test app are completely wrong. If anything, the Adrynalyne kernel brought it closer to what it should be. Tether the internet from your phone to your computer, then go to the speed test web site. That'll show you what it should be.
Tried tethering (which always seems slower) and got the same results with the 4.a - 4.3 kernels. If anybody is trying this kernel are you getting the same results? I really love this kernel and Adrynalyn's work is always top notch. I don't know if this is just my phone with maybe a bad radio?
that has to be the kernel.. check for updates... or try somthing different.

Has to be?
I'm all ears on the explanation of why it has to be.
Hi Adrynalyn. First, thanks for all of the work and time you put in. I can't post in the development thread or otherwise I would have posted this thread there. Also, thanks for checking in on the thread. Is it just my experience with the download speed using the 4.3 kernels? Thanks!
Im using his 4.3b and my speeds are fine. All his kernals have done well for me. As stated above 4g speeds should be around 7-12down and 4-6up. At least in NY that is the usual besides some slighty higher numbers once in a while.
I would redownload and try flashing again. Are you using rom manager to flash or going into recovery. I have done both and it seems fine...
Not to jack the thread... but
I am new and can't post in the dev section yet. Adrynalyn, just wanted to express my gratitude for all your hard work!!! Tried a couple other ROM's, but just LOVE yours and came back within minutes of each experience...
In my strongest 4g LTE area I get 15/5 pretty regularly on adryns kernels and from what I understand thats all your really sposed to be seeing...
Thanks to you guys for responding- it looks to be unique to my situation then. I'm flashing via recovery. Would that make a difference? I'm in San Jose and I had been getting incredible upload speeds- frequently hitting above 30mbs. My donwloads have always been lower but flashing with these kernels I haven't been able to duplicate. Maybe it's because I'm using the stock but rooted ROM? Jrocker23- are you using the stock rom, too?
Yes, all I did was root via adb and added Adranalyne's kernals. Im running .06 stock. Also flashing from recovery should work fine. Are you using setcpu or running with the stock kernal speed?

Funny you say this because I am in the San Jose area and before would hit 15-30mbs and now with adryns~ 4.3a kernel I get only 3/1mbs @ speakeasy website. This is rather weird.. Let me try a different kernel and report back with speeds.
Smok3d-
I'm also from the San Jose area. I was getting blazing uploads but now I can't get it over 2mbs. Something to do with our area's towers? Smok3d- could you revert back to the stock kernel? I did and was getting the regular speeds- I wonder if that's it too?
Ok there is definitely an issue going on here with kernels and speeds.
I was using Teslacoil with the included kernel and my speed in 3G area was snappy, when running speed tests I'd consistently get around 1.5 meg.
Yesterday i flashed the latest Virus rom with recommended Ziggy BFS kernel, and i almost automatically noticed my speed was running considerabley slower. When running a speed test, I'd get only around 100 KB down.
So today, i flashed the latest Virus rom again but this time i flashed Imoseyon normal lean kernel on it and now my speeds are back to 1.5 MB.
Now i know that speed tests are not accurate when run from the phone itself, however, the difference in speed is so dramatic that you don't even need to run a speed test to notice it right away.

And what is it with adrynalyne kernel that is the problem? I would love to know. I'm running it and my real speeds are great. You are running speed tests, bet if you didn't you wouldn't even notice the speed. Just because you are getting a certain speed from a TEST doesn't mean you will get the same in real world performance. Do research or provide facts before you make statements you can't back up

L00k above at my post... I automatically noticed my speed was considerably slower before even running a speed test. Then i change kernels, and its magically back to normal.
I'm no dev, so i couldn't begin to explain what in the kernel would cause it. And just because you aren't experiencing the issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist for others. Who knows? Maybe it was just a bad flash or CWR didn't clean cache properly before flashing, anything is possible, but we should work together to bring resolution to issues that arise, even if it is just happening to some...

I was pointing out what I noticed, I am no dev, just pointing out what I noticed when on adryns kernel compared to other kernels. It might not lag, but i notice the difference.

Horrible download speed

Running TPC for about 1.5 months now. hsupa is enabled. getting ~1.4mbps upload, but like 300kbps download, no matter what server I select, and at various parts of the city. Used to never be that slow. Any ideas?

Slow internet speed after rooting

I rooted my HTC inspire (with Coredroid) yesterday and i've been having slow upload and download speed since then. prior to rooting, I had upload speed above 1000 but the max i get now is 350. and my download speed was up to 3000 before rooting and now i barely get 1.5K
When you rooted did you restore the stock radio? I'm going to guess you're still using the downgrade radio.
Or is the ril matched to that radio?

I didn't do anything with radio.. I rooted it using the one click method and downloaded coredroid.. so Coredroid doesn't come with an updated radio?. What do you recommened?

In some markets, many of the custom ROMs have slow data speeds unless you do a few tweaks. A simple APN reconfig (found in my thread here) is usually all that's needed to get you back up to stock speeds. If you want to push up your speeds a little further, the methods in this thread will get you the absolute maximum current speeds that AT&T is allowing us.

thanks!..i followed the instruction for coredroid in your thread. but i saw no change in my speed.

All Infuse modems individually packed into CWM flashable packages -- added LB3

All Infuse modems individually packed into CWM flashable packages (old at top and new at bottom):
* CWM-UCKI3
While flashing it says KE3, but after flashing check in settings, and it would say KI3.
* CWM-UCKI4
* CWM-UCKJ1
CWM-UCKJ2
CWM-UCKJ3
CWM-UCKJ4
CWM-UCKJ5
SGS CWM-UVKH1
SGS CWM-UVKH2
SGS CWM-UVKJ6
* CWM-UCKK1
(Has better signal and speeds than KI3, at the cost of significantly higher battery drain.)
* CWM-UCKK2
* CWM-UCKK3
* CWM-UCKK4
(Has signal and speeds on par with KI3, maybe slightly better too, for me, and battery drain is on par with KI3. I hardly use GPS, so didn't test it.)
* CWM-UCKL2
(Amazing battery life, and getting best speeds so far compared to any modem. GPS has a dead lock on and beautiful accuracy.)
* CWM-UCLB1 (14 Feb 2012) Observations
Stolen from dman's post. So all credit goes to him. Read on the same thread where I stole modem from that this modem does not have the 160 char limit for SMS.
* CWM-UCLB3 (29 Feb 2012 - date I added) Observations
Confirmed by Simba501 in post 195 below that this modem does not have the 160 char limit for SMS.
Will add more as they come in...
*** DATA USAGE ALERT: Too many speed tests would eat into your data plan without you realizing that. Each test with download speeds at ~5-7 Mbps and upload speeds at ~1-2 Mbps takes about 20 MB per test. You have been alerted. ***
* 4 hour clock jump NOT present with date and time set to auto update from network as observed on my phone.
Thanks for UCKJ5. I love running the latest releases whenever they are available.

Are you getting the 4 hour clock moving ahead issue with date and time settings set to auto? How about GPS? I got better speeds, no clock moving ahead issue, and GPS too works pretty good.
The time is accurate, and there is no problem with that, GPS gets a lock in 3 miniutes when I'm sitting inside my 2nd floor apartment next to the window. I think that's pretty good that I can get a GPS lock inside.

I got the 4 hour clock jump when set in auto update mode. If you are comfortable with time in manual mode, you could try all the modems, including SGS ones.

Please download your current modem too to revert back in case this one does not work. After flashing please check settings-->about to verify its KK2 modem in there.

[Q] Bell HTC 1s Speeds

Hey what are some of the speeds people are getting with the Bell network (canadian) for their 1s....
I can only seem to get around 5 - 7mbps down max... anybody getting double digits?
also can you post your rom and radio specifications as well...
I'm with Bell as well in Toronto and my max download speed ever was 12MB/s and that was a peak realistically I only see about 4-8ish. I have a feeling though I'm being throttled. I found my data increassed slightly by removing the bell proxy in my APN. Would you be able to send me a screenshot of your APN so I can make sure mine is rightish.
I am running radio 1.06s with team venom Rom. I recently did an experiment with all the radios to see which one have me the best data and 1.06s was the most consistent. On a side note I couldn't believe how much data speed test can use. I used 450mB just on speed test
Sent from my viper powered HTC One S using xda premium
hmm ya im getting an average of between 4 - 8 as well... :S which makes no sense cuz this phone is able to handle so much more ...
the APN im using is the stock APN for bell which comes with Viper 1.2 rom... im currently using the 1.06 es radio... seems to be giving good signals but still bad download rate... ill try to upgrade to the new one and see what happens....
hmm also... using 450MB on a speed test is definitely not possible :S... u might have something else running in the background thats sucking it up...
I meant 450mb cumulative after testing multiple radios
