According to PhoneArena , We have HSPA Yes HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s
& HSPA + (4G) Yes (HSDPA 21 Mbit/s) , so yes we have real 4G not pure 4G though .

Data speeds beat by the amaze

I was at tmobile today and I was comparing our phone against the amaze. The amaze blew away the MT4G on a side by side speed test. My phone was getting almost one quarter of the data speed of the amaze. And no it was not on wifi. Why does the amaze get such faster 4G speed? Does it have a better radio?

Faster HSPA+ support.
Because everyone stupidly abandoned the MT4GS.

Could the radio from the amaze be moved to the MT4GS? And would out improve our 4G speed?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
Its probably the hardware of the radio. Not the radio software. Like the Droid Razr has a new "Micro" LTE radio Which is thinner and apparently is resulting in bettery battery.

I would so change over to the amaze if I could. if just for the speed

I would too, the only phone I'd give up a physical keyboard for.
Can you tell us the results from speednet? I m curious to know the difference.

7 vs 21, 5 vs 18, 6 vs 22 6 vs 16 mbps. I ran about 20 tests and the amaze blue the MT4G out of the water. Any where from 3 to 4 times faster. I never saw the amaze drop below 12mbps where my phone would be as low as 3. Now that sucks.

This might be diving into conspiracy theory here, but maybe it's because it's a t mobile demo phone?

That is a possibility. They did not have a working MT4G for me to compare. Only the dummy phone.

this thread makes no sense.
according to specs, mt4gs supports 14.4 mbps hspa+ while amaze supports 42 mbps hspa+
it's only logical that the amaze is way faster.

Or this. I was too lazy to dive into the specs. Honestly, though, I get around 6 down speed most everywhere I go, which is plenty fast for me. IMO, once you get above six or seven down, the internet connection is no longer the bottle neck that's slowing your phone down.

Wow I'm surprised that the amaze is much faster data wise. The phones were both released within a few months of each other.
I need to check out the amaze's specs. I wonder if its faster overall.

It is, faster overall, faster data speed, faster processor (1.5 ghz) the same one on the mytouch just that is not the underclock version, camera is the same. But one thing is that the battery is just the worst on the amaze because of higher clocked speed on the processor

When I first bought this phone way back when it launched I liked it because everyone listed as having 21 mbps.. now I looked again and you see different specs depending on which website you visit.. I really don't know who to believe.

I hope that I wasn't lured to this phone by a lie. The cell phone market is full of a lot of unethical practices :/

t-mobile official specs lists it as 14.4 mbps.
Qualcomm's msm8260 official specs say the chipset has 28.8 mbps capability.
some random sites say it supports 21 mbps.
which one is the right one? dunno, but officially the phone is 14.4 and besides that, as someone already said, when you get over 5-6 mbps speed is not that much of a problem anymore so w/e
Too bad I barely get 1 mbps... 4g on tmobile was way faster back when they first launched 4g. When they launched 21 mbps in this market there wasn't really any speed difference. Still betweem 1 & 2 mbps :/

[Q] WiFi Speed Question

Quick question about wi-fi speeds. I have 2 friends at the house, one with a new iPhone 4S and another with a Motorola Droid Bionic. For kicks we compared D/L speeds, and they both get over 20,000k speeds easily. The best my Inspire 4G can do is 7,100k!
So the question is obvious, what's wrong with my phone? The Radio I'm on is the recommended 12.65.60.29P_26.14.04.28_M for ARHD 6.3.1. Could that be the issue, or am I.missing something else? Thanks!
Best I could get is 8.5mbps but my iPhone 4 will do 20 easy. Idk why either.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Not sure why you guys are getting such low speeds. My pc is wired to my router and I get consistent 25mbps speeds. This is what I typically get on wifi with my Inspire. The phone is certainly capable.
Holy ****! Pretty sure its rom related! I'm on CM7 now and get consistent 19-21mbps dl speeds!

Trade phone

Well ima trade my htc mytouch 4g for a nexus s tmobile.. I just wanna know if theres still alot of devs and not be a dead phone.cause mytouch 4g is kinda dying in development,and the nexus s screen is 4.0 right? Does it get 4g too?
The Nexus S is still getting active development from the devs with ICS roms. Are you on Sprint? Is so, you need a Nexus S 4G.

Yes, it's a 4" screen. Development section is awesome! Sooo many choices!!
No im on tmobile and i really just wanted to know if it gets 4g, the nexus s.but know i know its only 3g.but is it fast.is there any build prop tweaks or roms that make the 3g as fast as 4g.or something like that?

Sensation AT&T Radios

Is there a way to flash a radio for the Sensation 4g that would allow for AT&T's 4g network?
i think access to at&t's 4g network is related to hardware rather than what radio version your using. if you have a bell or telstra sensation then you should have no problems with 3g but im not sure about 4g, i dont have a data plan

Yeah...You're talking software radios...Not the same thing...
Like the person above says basically. Hardware radio is not the same and will not work unless you have a Canadian one and AT&T's 4G HSPA+ is not faster than their 4G and doesn't even have that strong of a footprint to notice the difference.

Would there be a way to move a Captivate from AT&T to T-Mobile and get 3g?

I remember that it was discovered that either the captivate or the vibrant could be hacked to run on the other carrier's network because the radio was capable of those bands. I don't remember which one of those phones it was though.

3g speed of Ville C2

Hi there,
Can someone tell me the 3G speed of HTC One S C2? Because when I search in Google it displays Speeds upto 14mbps for One S(intl version) but it is no where mentioned about the S3 processor speed. They inform just like HSDPA but no mention of exact speeds. Sorry for asking such noob question though

internet speed does not depends on processor but on network. (as per my knowledge)
I think the max speed that the VilleC2 can get is HSPA+ 21mbps, and the Ville is 42mbps (although the VilleC2 may be 42mbps aswell). I found on HSPA+ that the speed is more than adequate, rivalling my friends iPhone 5 on LTE.
Oh thanks buddy I thought my Ville C2 would be a mere 7.2mbps but thank god u gave a great info :thumbup::thumbup:

Actually my brother is using HTC butterfly and he gets a minimum speed of 5 to 6 Mbps on Airtel Network in India, whereas i too use the same network from same place but i could clock only 2 to 2.5 Mbps on my HTC One S C2 (Courtesy: Speedtest mobile app). So will it make any difference if its a LTE band handset like Butterfly and Non LTE band handset like my HTC One S C2???
