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.
I was at an average of 100 kb/s the other day, and now I'm at 1.6 mb/s in the exact same place. I know after a couple GB download speeds with AT&T start to decline and I am well over 2 GB. I did set the data limit warning on my phone, but would that make a difference?
How the hell does this happen???

network speeds depend on time of day, how saturated the network is, what color shirt you're wearing, what direction the wind is blowing, stuff like that. Well mostly the first two.
When I use ES File Explorer to move files from my (Windows) desktop to my tablet it just crawls. Never over 1MB/s. But when I do a test on speedtest.net I get my max internet speed (roughly 3MB/s).
So this a problem just with ES File Explorer? Do any other file managers show the speed when transerring files? Anyone get any reasonable speeds moving files within their home network?
What I have found with speedtest.net, you get about 1/10 of what they say. On my desktop it says I get about 28 MBps download, but in reality it is 2.8 MBps down. So if you are getting 3 MBps down, then more then likely you are getting about 300 KBps down.

The speed they report is in megabits per second, whereas the normal unit we use colloquially is megabytes per second. A byte consists of 8 bits, so counting overhead and checksum aspects (the sender/receiver verification of correct transfer) 1/10th sounds about right (the absolute maximum would be a perfect 1/8th -- 28 Mbps would be about 3.5 MBps (notice the unit difference: Mbps vs. MBps).
Back on the original question: keep in mind that your internet speed has nothing to do with direct file transfer over a WiFi network connection. If transferring via, say, Dropbox, then, yes, it matters. In that scenario a lot depends on numerous factors, amongst which the primary one is signal strength at the relevant location; added to that is the fact that the internal storage of the entire Transformer range is not exactly known for its speediness. (That would be the understatement of the year, maybe even this century. )

I was just testing the internet speed on speedtest.net to rules things out. Since my internet speed is 3MB/s there is no reason my LAN speed should be lower.
I can't imagine the write speed of the hard drive is lower than 1MB/s, can it?

Fully agreed! That part of my reply was "aimed" at Tylorw -- I'm sorry if that didn't come across the way I intended it. It's not meant to be rude or anything anyway.
Your LAN speed -- with a faster storage unit and presuming you have a good (modem/)router -- should easily get you about 30-35 MBps transfer from a traditional hard drive, and about 60-70 MBps from a well-made SSD. Those are the values I get from my NAS disks and my desktop, respectively -- your mileage may vary.

The I/O storage controller that ASUS (a Hynix unit) has chosen is very outdated, and exceptionally slow. Even given flash memory aboard the 700 (that should be faster than a platter hard drive) I've seen benchmarks floating around of 0.1 MBps (100 kilobytes per second...) -- yes, that slow. And to add insult to injury, the transfer even at that "speed" is not even continuous but intermittent, with hang-ups and resumes all over the place.

Oh, and, errr... love the username! (Elmer Fudd reference? ).
I feel for you, man, I really do.

Yes, but that's only the worst case - random 4 kB updates across a large file, which means the FTL needs to rewrite much bigger blocks in the flash memory. The first SSDs for PCs had similar issues.
For sequential transfers, you can expect up to 30 megabytes per second for reading, and about 17 megabytes per second for writing. So it's not *that* slow usually.

As usual, you are right -- I even held off adopting SSDs for that reason when they were in their infancy. I am so happy with my Crucial M4 now.

You know my stance towards benchmarking, but I do not believe I have ever reached those speeds -- especially the writes (the reads usually aren't that bad, so they might be A-OK on my 700...) -- my trusty little tablet does what I need from it, though,so I'm not complaining. :good:
PS: funny who you emphasized that "that", _that. Sorry, I'm cranking up here (@work) -- it's been a little over 3 hours and I've handled 17 outpatient cases (poison control center/Antigiftzentrum/Vergiftungsinformationszentrale, whatever you want to call it). It's going to be a loooooong day.
Luckily, I've come down here on my motorcycle, so at the end of the shift I can at least have some wind through my thinning scalp (hidden under a helmet, don't worry).
Galaxy S4 LAN download speed using AC router
I have a Galaxy S4 with the newest firmware from samsung I9505XXUGNF1 (Kitkat 4.4.2). My router is a Asus RT-AC66U to which My S4 connects to with max speed of 433 Mbps. My internet connection is 120 Mbps.
When I do a speedtest on the S4 I get results of over 110 Mbps, but when I'm downloading a file over LAN from the disk connected directly to the router I get download speed only of ~20Mbps (2.4 MB/s) which is very sucky!
My Laptop have only a N network card, and connects to the router with max 300 Mbps and when I download the same file I get over 7.5 MB/s!! (~65 Mbps).
Speedtest also shows results of over 110 Mbps...
I remember when the phone was new, and it had Android 4.3, I had LAN download speed of over 9-10 MB/s...
I tried with different file managers like X-Plore and others, but it looks like it is not the app problem. Maby is a KitKat problem??
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and using ES file explorer, I get only 6MB/s transfer from my windows PC share and around 8MB/s for network streaming over wireless AC connecting at 433Mbps. When I use the speedtest app to test my internet speed, the xposed network speed module will show 20.8MB/s when doing the speedtest which was at around 225Mbps download as stated in the speedtest app.
I think something has capped us from going over 10MB/s.
EDIT: I found a solution to the problem, just go to ES File Explorer Settings, Download Manager, and enable multi-thread copy and download.
Hope it helps
I'm pretty impressed with my speed.
Yea, xlte is quick. Wish I still had my unlimited data.
Agreed. Seeing fast cell data speeds doesn't really impress or excite me anymore. You can't utilize ANY advantage you get from the increased speed without:
1.Paying an absurd price per GB to have enough data that streaming and downloading gigantic files that were too "slow" before is something you do now just because you can. Which if you have WiFi at home or somewhere accessible almost everyday then imo your just being impatient and spoiled by current tech. Remember when none of this stuff even existed?
2.Keep your plan with a **** amount of data and use it all in a 5-10 minute blowout to be able to witness the FASTER speeds you saw on tv that alledgedly justify the ludicrous bill you get every month.
Wow I can't wait for faster speeds to come to my neighborhood!
Unless you are like me and are still holding onto unlimited data
Hi all! I've been looking for some answers but without success. So here is my question, and hopefully I didn't miss the answers somewhere in the forum
I have a Honor View 10 with the latest updated (Android 10). I noticed that the device's bandwidth seems very slow (between 0.5 and 1MB/s download in 4G with full reception and between 1 and 6MB/s in WiFi, 1 meter away from the WiFi spot at home).
In the same conditions I get around 3 to 5x more bandwidth with an old iPad mini 2
Rebooting the V10 or going on plane mode for >15 seconds doesn't help. The bandwidth isn't stable, sometimes it's better sometimes a lot worse.
Question : is there any bandwidth limiter that activates on these phones when they get old?
I think I checked all the usual issues that could explain this problem. The 4G bandwidth could be bad for a ton of reasons. But what I don't understand is how any Apple product seems to have at least 10MB/s bandwidth on my WiFi, while this phone sometimes drops at 1MS/s (same conditions, less than 1 meter from the WiFi spot)
Thanks in advance for your replies
