Hey guys, just wanted to share something I've found!
So it's nothing amazing, but I've been fortunate to own both a HTC One and a Samsung Galaxy S4. Both of these devices have the latest type of Wi-Fi cards available in them, and the Samsungs speed compared to the HTC is something to rave about. My HP spectre gets around 30MB, but look at this!

I'm impressed by it, too. My HTC Evo 4G LTE will only do about 15 and 13, respectively.
On my pc i get about 25mbps on wireless but on my s4 only 3.6 however downloads (torrents etc.) are just as fast.
Any tips?

You mean that you're downloading with 3,6 mb/s?
That's because you need to convert your "mbps" to "mb/s". Just devide your "mbps" by 8, and you should see something that's near your download speed!
I have a 150/15 mbps, and my maximum theoretical download speed is 150 (mphs) divided by 8 (bytes) = 18,75 mb/s.
I hope that's what you meant!
OT:
I'm getting ~45 mbps download and ~20 mbps upload with my 150/15 connection. That's a big step up from the original Galaxy S (i9100). My 4G LTE download is approx. ~37 mbps download and ~22 mbps upload.

According to PhoneArena , We have HSPA Yes HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s
& HSPA + (4G) Yes (HSDPA 21 Mbit/s) , so yes we have real 4G not pure 4G though .

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.

Also, before anyone asks, it's a hardware cap and there's not way to make it so the sensation can support the 42 mbps speed.

Would be nice tho if they could
They told me the only difference is those 2 device has 1.5ghz processor but we're rooted and thanks to daemon we have 1.5ghz too hopefully we could!

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!
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.
Sent from my DoubleShot Lite
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?
Sent from my RubiX CubeD NonSense MT4GS using XDA App
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.

I hope that I wasn't lured to this phone by a lie. The cell phone market is full of a lot of unethical practices :/

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 :/

Hi,
I'm using the bbb8 and it's really cool but what does 3g Speedhack and HSUPA upload speed hack mean ?
P.S: I'm using german telekom (t-mobile)
An educated guess would be that it speeds up your realistic upload and download speeds.
lol

Hi there,
Can someone tell me the 3G speed of HTC One S C2? Because when I search in Google it displays Speeds upto 14mbps for One S(intl version) but it is no where mentioned about the S3 processor speed. They inform just like HSDPA but no mention of exact speeds. Sorry for asking such noob question though

internet speed does not depends on processor but on network. (as per my knowledge)
I think the max speed that the VilleC2 can get is HSPA+ 21mbps, and the Ville is 42mbps (although the VilleC2 may be 42mbps aswell). I found on HSPA+ that the speed is more than adequate, rivalling my friends iPhone 5 on LTE.
Oh thanks buddy I thought my Ville C2 would be a mere 7.2mbps but thank god u gave a great info :thumbup::thumbup:

Actually my brother is using HTC butterfly and he gets a minimum speed of 5 to 6 Mbps on Airtel Network in India, whereas i too use the same network from same place but i could clock only 2 to 2.5 Mbps on my HTC One S C2 (Courtesy: Speedtest mobile app). So will it make any difference if its a LTE band handset like Butterfly and Non LTE band handset like my HTC One S C2???
