Tbolt vs razr 4g speed - Thunderbolt General

My wifes razr just got 20+Mbps down and 10Mbps up while mine was 2to 5 down and 1 to 2 up. Multiple tests side by side. What's this about?

Ill take a stab at that one. It looks, and i read it several times just to make sure, but it looks like hers is 4 to 10 times faster than yours, but thats just a guess.

Newer Device is my estimated guess

Lol....brilliant analysis!....why?

It could be many things. What rom are you on and what did you test it with?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA

I read that its the gingerbread software, I get around 5mbps

Strange, I get up to 33mbps where I am.. does that mean people can get up to 132 mbps on their razrs?

What are you using to do the testing?

I have gotten 30 before also

I would guess that it could be the radios. I have great luck with the mr4 radios.

its a combination of radios and kernal. try the newer 605.9 radios and the latest kernels from imo.... then test again.

I always use imoseyon kernels and have tried the mr4 and .9 radios. My usual speed is 2 to 6 mpbs. Occasionally I'll get one test to pass 10 but it's rare.

I've always had slower results from the speedtest app on AOSP roms. Sense 2.1 roms get 10-20 mbps while CM7 gets 4-6 or so for me.

Try going to speakeasy.net in your browser with Flash enabled, I've had mixed results with the Speedtest app.

I've noticed this as well. When I first got my Thunderbolt I was getting 15-30Mbps download, and incredible upload speeds. Even when Speedtest had their app updated, I was still getting the same upload speeds. Now, I get anywhere from 3-13Mbps download (usually between 3-7 though). My friend has the Nexus and when side by side, mine gets around 7-10 and his got 20-35. There have been plenty of times even though I have a decent 4G signal, anything I do such as web browsing, market downloads, etc., is extremely slow.

I've gotten up to around 30Mbps when I was in Orlando and Pittsburgh.

Hey, if you're happy with your speeds, then that's all that matters. lol
I used to get better speeds. Not sure what happened.
So you're happy with 2G speeds?

Me? nope... I used to get 6mbps down and 2mbps up
I think they are working on the towers here in my area.
I did notice the speeds are not 100% all the time, they jump from 2 - 6 Mbps depending on time of day / weather / and everything else but knowing the phone "can hit 6" makes me feel better about "when AT&T" gets everything going it *should* be pretty fast

Terrible 4G speed on GB leak

Anyone experiencing horribly slow 4G speeds? I did a speed test both online and through the app and no difference. I'm going to be going back to bamf soon if it doesn't get any better.

Yeah, it's pretty bad but it isn't the end of the world. My normal dl of 20mbs has fallen to 3-5mbs but my upload is still at 4mbs.
Eh I guess I got spoiled. I restored a backup because of the slow speeds.

So the radio is worse; not better?

Bamf rocks, But I'm sure they will work it in.
Sorry to hear about the wasted time you guys had to put in.
7-10 down, 2-4 up.
on GB leak
2.5 down when I'm usually dl' ing 15...tho when I go to dl stuff its def not sure slow at all
I guess if you are tethering it sucks, but I use my phone as a phone, 5mb is more than enough for me to whatever Want. what can you do on a phone with 15mb that you cant do with 4 or 5, seriously? I just tested mine on speakeasy.net and I got 7-9 down and 2-3 up.
Are you guys testing your speed using the speedtest app or with speedtest.net through your phone's browser? I know the app has some issues with accuracy.

I use speedtest app but I dont think the latest version has issues with accuracy. I usually get 15 down 5 up until I installed GB last night and all of my speedtests dropped down to 3 down and 3 up.

About the same for me. Tapatalk doesn't load as fast either. Love the gb features and the instant Gps lock but I'm a speed junkie.
Well this is weird, when I check the speed from the phone I average 3 down 3 up but when I tether my laptop I consistently get this: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1300046545.png
speedtest app still has issues, sometimes. I know you dont have to believe me, but I always get better results at speakeasy.net than I do with speedtest app. The app still sucks and constantly gives communication errors.
I was getting 4-5 mbps down on speedtest app and 12 down on speakeasy.net's speedtest webpage on this ROM. I think it all depends on where you test from.

They're talking about the Gingerbread leak. Looks like you're using the cm7 build and also have a different baseband. I did notice speeds of only 2-3Mbps when I got it briefly yesterday here in Raleigh, NC but just attributed that to either the speedtest app being flaky or them not having the network fully up. Didn't get a chance to run a browser based test before it went back off.
Ya the app is flake I got 14 mb down on a browser spedtest on the leak

LTE Issues in NYC (6/27/11)

Anyone having DL speed issues in NYC today? Speeds were awesome this morning, 20mb dl and 6mb up. Now I can't get over 1 mb in dl but uploads are still good. I'm running the 402 radio and a co-worker is running stock and his speeds are effected as well.
If so, this would be my first LTE semi-outage. I'm new to Verizon and was wondering if these things are frequent.
Same in Boston, upload speeds are fine but can't get over 1Mbps down. I've heard they're supposedly working on the networks right now. I don't use 4G all the time, this is the first I've personally seen speeds be this slow.

I'm in Chicago and 4g has been fine for me the entire day, 16 mbps down and 4mbps up right now. (jefferson park is my current location)
Seems to be the network as a whole here in NYC. Another co-worker has the droid incredible (Stock unrooted) on 3G he normally pulls 4-5mb and can't get over .40 currently. Glad to know I don't have to flash different radios, etc.

yea it was perfectly fine at work last night, was watching my shows on youtube and flash sites since my job hates me with the killing of flash and most websites access
Been on the 3G network the last 3 days here in Atlanta. Today 1X only. Called Verizon they are currently experiencing issues in my area. Also said Please allow a couple of days to regain full speeds. I recently updated roms to BAMF 1.8 Remix. Had good 4G for a couple of days befor this so Im pretty sure its not the ROM.
I've been on campus all day using wifi, but I did notice that it kept showing 3G when I moved between repeaters. NJ right across the Hudson.

[Q] slow 3g

i was wondering does anyone experience slow 3g that is all that i have at my house and my average dl speeds are between 70 kbps to 110i kbps and my up is like 30 to 50 kbps second kind of thought this was pretty crappy i am running humble 5.0 my 4g when in one is like 18 to 20 down and 6 to 8 up so 4g is amazing but it is not with my city about 15 miles to nearest 4g area any suggestions??
Wow like 70 views and really responses awesome

Mine comes and goes. Sometimes it will get to 2mbs down and other times it might be .6 down... I didn't put it on with the new modems, but on previous ROMS with past modems, I would run the 3g turbocharger by zeppelinrox and it made a BIG difference.. about twice as fast and a ping under 100

Id say its low risk. He has built in where you can undo the changes. Its easy... just put the script on your sd card > load in script manager (free in market) > run as root > then follow the directions that pop up. There are different settings to try. The "fast" setting worked best for me. His post has very good directions and it was the 1st time doing anything like that for me and it went without a hitch... I hope it works well for you!

Doesn't have to be. I keep all that stuff right on the main part of the sd. I forgot to mention that it says to use busybox 1.182 (I think) or lower.

TMO radio data sucks.

Hello I've been trying to find a answer to my problem for a while, but can't seem to find any help. So to start off I unlocked my s2 I've flashed 3 different roms and a few different T-Mobile radios, but my data is very poor sometimes it works sometimes not it constantly drops if anyone can offer some advice I'd really appreciate it.
As of now my sgh-i727 is unlocked running on cm10 superlite and the telus radio.
Sry if this has been answered b4 I'm new to the dirrent radios

It probably also depends on your location, too. In the Bay Area and LA, SlimBean w/ a Blaze (LB7) radio has worked just fine for me.
Thanks. I've read over that post a few times. I was using blaze lb7 for a bit but then I started to test others once the data drops and very poor speeds occurred. Also I live in MS I generally have great reception.

Maybe I didn't flash correctly, but I have tried flashing multiple times and no which radio or rom combo its the result slow speeds and constant drops. Another note my g2x fantastic in my area in ST
