Wifi speed low? - HTC Inspire 4G

I am running a CM7 nightly (153), with LorDModUE 6.71 kernel. I just ran the speedtest app, and my speeds were 4 down and 3 up. I ran the same test with my Xoom and laptop, and both got about 21 down and 4 up. What would be affecting my speed on the Inspire?

You could try another kernel

I'm running nightly 153 and just ran a speed test and got 18 down on the laptop and only 7 down on the inspire. I've been noticing since the switch to cm7 that wifi is lacking. Love a suggestion on a kernel that might remedy this.

FWIW, speedtest app sucks. I routinely get innacurate results with it even changing servers. I open the browser and use the speakeasy speedtest if I want something that resembles an accurate result.

I've been getting the same speeds I always have, my WiFi isn't very fast but I justed tested on my phone and laptop and got the same results. Running nightly 153 and LordModUE 6.7.1, maybe the new wifi drivers in 6.7 aren't co-operating with your router.

I know it's not the most accurate, but to see a 50-75% drop back to back is pretty telling. Is there anything in the build.prop I could change? I'll try the Tiamat kernel and do tests back to back and report back in here with the results. I'm pretty sure my speeds were low even on the older versions of the LordModUE kernel. Not sure if the kernel has any effect on wifi speeds.

No kernel changes, all stock 153.

Nope, no difference with kernel change. I even tried my wife's Atrix, and it's getting 21 down. Try mine right afterwards and get between 5-7, on both Tiamat 1.04 nd LordmodUEv6.7.1 cfs. Odd...

So, who turned on HSPA+

So today I gave my Inspire 4G a mobile speed test, and I consistently picked up 4-6Mbps down, about 1Mbps up. I tried a few servers and sites, and still the same.
Do I dare say ATT is finally finishing that back haul of their HSPA+ network?
Or is it my flashed radio with custom ROM
I was having a weird issue with server thinking i was in K.C. area at first, but the new Speedtest.net app. in marketplace took care of that.
I live in Sacramento, all seems to be working well on this end. (im impressed? maybe amazed is a better word heheh)
Ill post a test result from the phone in a min.. (syncing PHISH NYE atm) (~)}]
I was lucky to get 1Mbps down, and a measly .2Mbps up before.
I get 3.2 mbps down and 2up with Rogers.
Let me edit my first post LOL i was never getting 4-6 M down w/ the 4g.
2-3++ consistently. I did get over 6 but i had my wifi on. DUH WINNING.
What is range for 4g speeds?
Heres two speedtests w/ marketplace app just now.
2.6 D .375 u
3.2 D .335 u

AT&T says that with 4G you will constantly get an average of 6MBPS download. So you will most likely get more than 6MBPS for each test you do.

Might be getting a Sensation - Q on speeds

Ive been in the 3D forums since launch and I love the 3D but I cant handle Sprints 100k speeds and no answers from them - So I am likely moving to T-Mobile and the Sensation....
Can anyone tell me what speeds they get once you hit your "4G Limit"?
Is it useable at all after you hit your 2,5, or 10GB?
Thanks!
you're stuck at 2g after you hit your limit
Yeah, Ive read varying reports of that speed - around 200k??? Right now, Im lucky to even hit that on my Sprint Connection.

Yeah, around that. The max you'll get is about 300-400 Kbps. If you live in an area with good HSPA connectivity, you should get speeds from 5-7 Mbps down easily in you are within your cap.
This is my best result during peak hours.

Well I've heard some stories of being able to block the data throttling. That only works with perm root though... Not to mention it also only works on certain devices. Sensation could or could not be one of them. But speeds are as mentions above.

Thanks for the replies - I think we are going to swap tomorrow. Sounds like Edge would allow me to stream radio at the least - I checked my old AT&T account and it was rare that I went over 5, I was usually around 4.8GB
I do love the HTC 3D but with the seed Im getting, its like having a lamborghini and going up and down the driveway....
I did test the speed at 2 t-mobile stores in the area and low DL's were around 3000k and high around 5000k .... Im happy with 1500, so this is great

speedtest.net app fixed

when i first got my AT&T htc one x, the speedtest.net app would crash every time during the upload test,
but after using the RUU to the 1.82 and then rooting, and then debloat/debranding the device, it appears the speedtest.net is now working during the upload test and shows the resulting speed in the end...
not sure what part of that process fixed it, probably the debranding, or maybe the app was updated im not sure.. just letting people know what i've found
it always worked for me but good info for the people that do have problems with it
I'm still totally stock, and the Speedtest app works just fine. 32 Mbps up and 21 Mbps down, daaaamnnnn!
Always had worked for me. Getting still my epic blazing 4g LTE speeds 58.45 Mbps down and 25.93 Mbps up. This is 2.5X faster then my home connection.

thanks for that update because i have the exact same problem with the speedtest app. I will try these things because I was about to return it for Galaxy Note.

Yesterday I hit ~53 down. I honestly almost crapped my pants. I have 15down/1up at home. Also, if you go to results, you can email the result which also provides a link to a much smaller image of the test.
...my rogers 4g wireless only hit 4M DOWNLOAD AND 1M UPLOAD, WHY WHY WHY!!!

Because that's actually HSPA+, not true 4G LTE.

You were going to return your phone because the speedtest app crashed????

[Q] My Wifi Speeds Are Atrocious! Soultions?

Running on Cyanogenmod 10 12/3 Nightly.
Ok here's my conundrum. My router has up to a 300mb/s burst & my speeds haven't suffered on any other device except my phone. The odd thing is the fact that my wifi is listed as having 72mb/s speed. See screenshot below...

Here's the kicker: A speed test on my laptop is just fine. See screenshot below...
BUT a speed test on my phone? Trash...
It also turns off during sleep despite having the "always on" option checked.
What do I do?
first of all 74Mbps is insanely fast, but I bet your internet provider is not even close to match that speed. What's your actual internet speed? I guess its 20Mbps from your laptop speed test. Now why you got such a low download speed on the phone is probably because someone was downloading something on different machine which took all the bandwidth or because you are on a nightly ROM lol.
I just made a test on my HOX and I got 9.607Mbps down and 3.892Mbps up. My laptop got 9.77Mbps down and 2.86Mbps up.
Have you had this issue before or are you just starting with CM10? Long story short, I've had the same issues with CM10. At times, WiFI speeds are normal and everything works great, then all of the sudden it drops and becomes unusable. Sense-based ROMs work fine for me.

My internet speed is at 25mb/s cable. To the highlighted I'm the only one using the wifi, that's impossible.

Yeah it's only been since I flashed CM10. This issue hasn't been recognized yet or something? Because from my searches it seems as though I'm in the minority & may just be SOL. I hope that isn't the case...
I've had this problem as well. Running CM10 "stable"
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989203&page=6&highlight=wifi. A few of us reported having different issues with WiFi in CM10, my last post says that it was fixed with one of the recent nightlies but I spoke too soon, a day after using it the problem came back.
There's also this issue report http://code.google.com/p/cm9-msm8960/issues/detail?id=134 but I don't see a final solution yet.

Not sure if this is exactly your problem, but when downloading/updating an app from the Play Store, the d/l speed is displayed in KB/second. Not Kb/second, but KB/second. Big B means bytes, little b means bits. 8 bits in a byte. Most of the time we see speeds as bits/second, so if you see a big B, remember that it's 8x faster than you realize.

Does it happened to your Mobile Data downloads? Because last time I also encountered such issue, when download via WiFi is super slow, Mobile Data is fast, but just leave it for few days then it returned to normal. Might be Google issues? Not sure though.
Same thing is happening with me. For few apps, it downloads really slow. Already did a modem/router reset, factory reset of phone. But still no luck.
Still got stuck on that speed. Did anyone found a solution yet? It happens only on Wifi
