Data speeds beat by the amaze - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

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.

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 :/

I'm sorry but does that make any sense at all? You said the GS2 wins and then you state the 2X is better.
And in reality, the SGS II is obviously a more polished product than the 2X.
Yeah. I realized were on the brink of a whole other level of phones.
The gs3 will be worth the upgrade.
I'm definitely keeping the g2x over the sensation.
But I would have loved the gs2.
I don't see how anyone could rate the sensation over the g2x

They barely announced this. Do you think they would scrap all their production to unlock the bootloaders? ... No
More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.
HTC stated that future phones would be unlocked. At that time the sensation was in production already.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.
Running stock rooted G2x with faux123 stock kernel @ 1.1GHz

I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Yes the Thunderbolt is sturdy...until the kickstand peels.
The Evo 4G is sturdy...if you got the right screen.
Point is...HTC suffers from launch bugs and jitters like any other manufacturer.

HTC ThunderBolt and EVO 4G price thoughts?

I wonder...the ThunderBolt is almost identical to the EVO 4G, and yet it costs $249.99, the EVO 4G, is now $99.99, and 1 GHz is now considered low-mid range. WTF? Same with the DROID Charge, $299.99 for a fake S2? Don't get me started with the Revolution...
The TB and other phones have newer Gen processors so you know.
Does that make them worth $150-200 more?

Verizon also has higher monthly rates and no longer offers unlimited data.
If you can get good Sprint coverage in your area, it's no contest.

The Evo 4G is sluggish and slow at everything, its processor is much older and not near as good as the Thunderbolts. I use a Evo 4G daily and have played with friend's Thunderbolts. The thunderbolt is incredibly faster at everything. I can't wait to ditch my Evo... It should not take 10 seconds to open the messages app.
Adreno 205 vs Adreno 200. 65 vs 45nm process. LTE 700MHZ > WiMax 2100(?) with better building penetration, speed, and latency. Verizon is priced darn high though
Can you really tell that much difference,, between a thunderbolt and inspire?? i liked the 99$ fo sho

If you could use both side-by-side on the same network, the difference would be negligible. But you would definitely notice the difference between verizon LTE and at&t's "fastest 4G network in america"
Its Verizon.
They are insanely overpriced.
Tough deal.
Thunderbolt hardware is better for sure but not worth that much extra in my opinion.
I think its BS then they come out with a new phone every month

[Q] TMOUS HSPA+42 mbps network speed

Anybody know if our htc sensation 4g will be able to connect the new tmobile HSPA+42mbps? I called costumer service they told me its only for 2 devices which is the up coming HTC AMAZE 4G and GALAXY SII any suggestions please post thanks!!!
Unfortunately, Sensation is cap at 16 mbps. I'm gonna be getting one of those phone but don't know which one it's gonna be a hard decision.

This is just semantics but.. 14.4 Mbps is the down cap. 5.7 Mbps on uploads.
I have personally used the a new tmous htc phone thats coming out, it was coined the 'ruby' at the time. I was told it had a 23 Mbps cap and it was pulling in speeds of around
6000 kbps vs my sensation which usually gets around 4500.
*edit* my 2 cents on those phones. Samsung makes a great product but the build quality on those galaxy phones is sub par imo. They are made of plastic! sure its a light device... i personally dont put a gel skin or anything on my phone (naked) so i would choose the htc in that case. Similar specs and a sleeker build quality! tho samsung screens are awesome... dont rack your brain over it, both phones will be awesome!

If thinking of going to the skyrocket...DO IT!

If anyone has a chance to switch to the sgsII skyrocket do it...I love this phone...so fast and smooth and reaches faster speeds on my hspa+ network than the infuse did. on the infuse i was lucky to reach 3 mbps now i reach almost 6 mbps and 1.5 up.

how's the battery life?
Agreed. The Infuse is an awesome phone, but if you are thinking about upgrading/have the upgrade/funds, do it. You won't regret it.
The phone is faster and smoother, has a better feel in your hands, the speaker is even louder and clearer, and battery life (somehow) is even better.
I am in love with this phone just like I was the Infuse when I got it.
I'll possibly be getting it soon, hopefully.
I can't wait to get it honestly, I've wanted it since it was announced, and I'm going to an AT&T store to play with it today, and hell, if I had $150 right now, I'd open a new line, get it, pop my SIM in there, and have a new phone. xD
I'm running 12.47 down 1.46 up on infuse running bigs Max rom. Also have skyrocket and with tweaked infuse they run neck and neck but the skyrocket is a awesome phone to say the least.

Now this is what I WANT DANG.
A few days ago we were introduced to the Tegra 3-powered HTC Edge, rumored to be one of the first quad-core Android smartphones. Today sees the emergence of renders of another rumored quad-core HTC phone, the "HTC Zeta". Accordig to Engadget, the Zeta's striking design isn't the only remarkable thing about the device, as it reportedly packs a quad-core Qualcomm APQ8064 CPU at a whopping 2.5 GHz.
Other reported specs include 1GB of RAM, a 4.5-inch 720p display of some sort, 32GB internal storage and an ample 1830 mAh battery. The phone is also said to include an 8MP rear camera capable of 1080p recording, along with the standard 1.3MP front-facer. As you'd expect from a premium HTC handset that's likely to launch in 2012, Sense and Beats Audio are also included, along with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Sandy Bridge-E was released Monday. It has eight cores, but two are fused off. The Xeon version will have all eight. Even with "only" six cores, the Intel Core i7 3690x still beats the AMD FX 8150 on average by 30%, a margin more than vs its Core i5 cousin.
