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

[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"

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.

Note Pro 12.2 Speed Test

Morning All,
Silly question but one that has me foxed since I started using my Pro. Has anybody been able to carry out a proper Wi-Fi speed test as when I've tried I've never been able to get more that 5Mb d/l and 18Mb u/l in any result. My speed is 78Mb/19Mb fixed and on my other tabs 30Mb/55Mb.
Anybody know why this is so and/or if I'm doing something wrong.

I think me and you only. I have found that the day I bought it, but I thought its wifi slow by default. I am thinking about sending it to samsung for repair.

Haven't noticed any issues with mine. Here's some data.
I'm about 35ft from Tomato with no obstruction. Tomato2 and both TP-Link(2.4/5) are in a bedroom ten feet further (door closed)

I had the same slow WIFI speed with my SM-P900 when it arrived. Last week I received an OTA software update and the WIFI 5 GHz speed seems to be fixed. There was definitely something wrong with the firmware. My NotePro is much more responsive and faster with the new update. I have kernel version 3.4.39-1131235 from Sat Mar 29. Build number P900XXUANC4.

This is interesting. I have the wifi version ( tab pro) and went to Verizon to test out the snapdragon chip to see if i can see a clear difference. I logged on to Verizons same wifi that the demo was on and my tab pro did circles around it in regards to web browsing. Assume it was just the store demo bloated, etc. BUT, your comments make me wonder if some units have s;low wifi for some reason.
I also assume the tab pro 12.2 and the note 12.2 is the exact device minus the pen.

No problem with my 12.2 LTE on wifi. It got about 30Mb down, 22Mb up. My desktop (fixed) gets about 80 Mb/22Mb.

No issues with WiFi here.
Desktop (5GHz) for reference: 28.83 / 5.70 (down / up)
Note Pro (2.4GHz): 29.05 / 6.62
Note Pro (5GHz): 27.05 / 6.56
Comcast, 2pm on Sunday.
Tethered to my S4 (Verizon): 48.70 / 17.60

Sorry late in replying been busy, any way for some unknown a few days back I did a speed test and everything was back to how it should 60Mb d and 17Mb u. Still have no idea why I was only getting low results before.
Thank you all for you replies and advice.

@sheepybach same here, my wifi speed back to normal after a few days. strange!!!

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

Pixel Slow Upload over WiFi

Two days ago, I noticed my backups (pictures, etc) had stopped on my Pixel with errors of 'Network Timeout.' After playing around trying to pin down the problem (NAS is ok, Router is fine, etc.), I found the phone just won't upload. Or it does intermittently at 100-200 Kbps with the VERY occasional burst of 45-50 Mbps. Downloads are fine, extremely fine at 90-110 Mbps. I do not believe it is a problem with the router as other devices on the same network have no problems. I am including screenshots from a HTC M9 and Pixel both connected to the same AP.
Now for the kicker. The Pixel is works as expected when connected to other WiFi APs (such as work, random Linksys and Netgears in the neighborhood, etc.). Just not at home. So back to the problem is with my router. But how, if everything else works fine? I'm posting here as well as the DD-WRT forums. Maybe between the two I can find a resolution or someone else experiencing the same.
Devices used while testing:
Linksys WRT-1900AC running DD-WRT
Pixel (Google store variant not VZW)
HTC M9
Acer Chromebook
ASUS laptop running Win10

Are you using IPv6 on your home network? If so, disable it and test it out. There have been reported problems with ipv6.

Thanks for the reply. However, no, I do not have IPv6 on my network. Also, as suggested on the DD-WRT forums, I do not have QoS enabled. This all seems strange as nothing was changed on my phone nor my network. Phone was fine one day and acting up the next and nothing else on the network is experiencing issues. Long weekend coming up so I'm thinking about erasing and resetting the phone to factory settings to start fresh. Phone is stock (not rooted, and still locked) as I actually like how it is and feel no need to alter it. Just perhaps something got fouled up on it. Will post back once I do the reset. In the mean time, if anyone has further suggestions, I am listening.
