Rooted Using Kernels from Adrynalyne- Anybody Getting Slow Upload Speeds?

Sorry- I'm new so I can't post in the development section but I'm using the 4.3 versions of Adrynalyne's kernels and I'm getting slower donwload speeds and much slower upload speeds (closer to 500k). When I flashed back to the stock kernel the dl and upl speeds went back to normal. Anybody else getting this?

Kernel has absolutely nothing to do with your network speeds. That was likely a fluke.
Network speeds are affected by a number of things-signal strength and network congestion being the biggest factors.
Do several tests different times of day and you will see that 3g can vary from 30 to 2100 kbps download speeds. As for 4g.. Idk what typical speeds are, but it will have a similar range.

Thanks AdhvanIt for the response but I tried testing them within minutes of flashing kernels and did numerous tests. With stock kernel I was getting about 8-12mbs donwloads and believe it or not upwards to 25+ mbs uploads (and that's consistently) while with the Adrynalyne's ROMS (using different versions- a-c) I was getting about 3-6 mbs downloads and 1-2 mbs uploads. Granted 3-6 is good enough but the disparity between 3-6 and 8-12 for uploads and 2 and 25 is quite a difference. You mention that kernels have nothing to do with speed but I was wondering if undervolting has any effect on the radio? Is anybody else having donwload/upload issues?

The upload speeds on the speed test app are completely wrong. If anything, the Adrynalyne kernel brought it closer to what it should be. Tether the internet from your phone to your computer, then go to the speed test web site. That'll show you what it should be.

Tried tethering (which always seems slower) and got the same results with the 4.a - 4.3 kernels. If anybody is trying this kernel are you getting the same results? I really love this kernel and Adrynalyn's work is always top notch. I don't know if this is just my phone with maybe a bad radio?

that has to be the kernel.. check for updates... or try somthing different.

Has to be?
I'm all ears on the explanation of why it has to be.

Hi Adrynalyn. First, thanks for all of the work and time you put in. I can't post in the development thread or otherwise I would have posted this thread there. Also, thanks for checking in on the thread. Is it just my experience with the download speed using the 4.3 kernels? Thanks!

Im using his 4.3b and my speeds are fine. All his kernals have done well for me. As stated above 4g speeds should be around 7-12down and 4-6up. At least in NY that is the usual besides some slighty higher numbers once in a while.
I would redownload and try flashing again. Are you using rom manager to flash or going into recovery. I have done both and it seems fine...

Not to jack the thread... but
I am new and can't post in the dev section yet. Adrynalyn, just wanted to express my gratitude for all your hard work!!! Tried a couple other ROM's, but just LOVE yours and came back within minutes of each experience...

In my strongest 4g LTE area I get 15/5 pretty regularly on adryns kernels and from what I understand thats all your really sposed to be seeing...

Thanks to you guys for responding- it looks to be unique to my situation then. I'm flashing via recovery. Would that make a difference? I'm in San Jose and I had been getting incredible upload speeds- frequently hitting above 30mbs. My donwloads have always been lower but flashing with these kernels I haven't been able to duplicate. Maybe it's because I'm using the stock but rooted ROM? Jrocker23- are you using the stock rom, too?

Yes, all I did was root via adb and added Adranalyne's kernals. Im running .06 stock. Also flashing from recovery should work fine. Are you using setcpu or running with the stock kernal speed?

Funny you say this because I am in the San Jose area and before would hit 15-30mbs and now with adryns~ 4.3a kernel I get only 3/1mbs @ speakeasy website. This is rather weird.. Let me try a different kernel and report back with speeds.

Smok3d-
I'm also from the San Jose area. I was getting blazing uploads but now I can't get it over 2mbs. Something to do with our area's towers? Smok3d- could you revert back to the stock kernel? I did and was getting the regular speeds- I wonder if that's it too?

Ok there is definitely an issue going on here with kernels and speeds.
I was using Teslacoil with the included kernel and my speed in 3G area was snappy, when running speed tests I'd consistently get around 1.5 meg.
Yesterday i flashed the latest Virus rom with recommended Ziggy BFS kernel, and i almost automatically noticed my speed was running considerabley slower. When running a speed test, I'd get only around 100 KB down.
So today, i flashed the latest Virus rom again but this time i flashed Imoseyon normal lean kernel on it and now my speeds are back to 1.5 MB.
Now i know that speed tests are not accurate when run from the phone itself, however, the difference in speed is so dramatic that you don't even need to run a speed test to notice it right away.

And what is it with adrynalyne kernel that is the problem? I would love to know. I'm running it and my real speeds are great. You are running speed tests, bet if you didn't you wouldn't even notice the speed. Just because you are getting a certain speed from a TEST doesn't mean you will get the same in real world performance. Do research or provide facts before you make statements you can't back up

L00k above at my post... I automatically noticed my speed was considerably slower before even running a speed test. Then i change kernels, and its magically back to normal.
I'm no dev, so i couldn't begin to explain what in the kernel would cause it. And just because you aren't experiencing the issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist for others. Who knows? Maybe it was just a bad flash or CWR didn't clean cache properly before flashing, anything is possible, but we should work together to bring resolution to issues that arise, even if it is just happening to some...

I was pointing out what I noticed, I am no dev, just pointing out what I noticed when on adryns kernel compared to other kernels. It might not lag, but i notice the difference.

[Q] Slow Speeds

I have an Inspire and I'm getting slow speeds. I'm on unlimited HSPA+ plan and have the correct sim.
What can I do to get better HSPA+ speeds? Currently I'm getting around 2 down.
Thanks!

Maybe that is as high as you can go in your area.

My iPhone 4S gets better speeds though. I thought there was a way to root it to make it faster such as fgd radio?

It's not the rado. It's the build.prop that enables the faster speeds. And I would have thought with the gingerbread addition it would have been enabled by default.
But sure you can root it and install a custom ROM made for better speed (all of them) or adjust the build.prop yourself. To root use Advanced Ace Hack Kit. It is stickied so it shouldn't be hard to find.

I'm curious about the download speeds as well. Whichever rom I've used the max download speed I've been able to achieve has been 2up, 1down. I've even edited the build prop and played around with it for a day, didn't see any significant changes.
Rebooted the phone twice after making the changes, etc..... question is, did i need to leave the changes for a day or two or even more to see if it actually helped?
On the other hand I have a couple of friends that work installing the towers (or whatever you call those things that gives us data) - in a nutshell, they say that the download speeds is hardware related and not software (they know nothing of rooting phones).... that kinda confused me more than my usually state of mind.
Sent from a dream.

Its true to an extent. For example our phones is capable of 14.4 mbps. And say the tower is a 48mbps. Our phones is limited to what its hardware capable but you can do software tweaks to optimize it to reach its Max. This is where builprop edits and apn settings can make a difference

HSPA 10 but not 15+

I know my area supports HSPA 21.
In Phone status, when not using data it should read HSPA 10. When you start actively using data, ex. during a speed test, it should bump up to HSPA 15+. Mine isn't doing it. I've tried with Jellybam, Dark Jelly S 10.1 Build 8.1, unofficial AOKP, and BB 7, with the 1.11 and 1.08 radios.
Can anyone else try it out and post their results with Rom, radio, location, and average speeds (not necessarily from current speed test, but maybe an aggregate of your normal speed tests since it can be so temporally different).

On Sense it shows Hspa (non active) then Hspap (while data is active). It is working correctly on Viper 2.0. My first time trying that ROM today. I have the wifi authentication problem. Resetting router didn't work, and looking into it I don't really want to downgrade Hboot as I prefer AOKP anyway.
What is it showing for you on AOKP/CM roms? Are you getting HSPA 15?
Btw, thanks for being so active in the One S forums. I've just been here for a week or two and you have specifically have stuck out. Cheers :good:

Not on AOSP at the moment but last time looked to see it said Hspap but that don't mean much here since the speed sucks balls. Just try all the radios you might find one that works for you.

The speed can suck just due to network congestion but at least it's trying to fire up hspap from hspa. Mine is doing the same thing on Sense.
I'm trying to figure out if it's just a visual bug on AOSP roms or if it genuinely isn't firing up hspa 15+

It could be a visual thing but not really sure hmm do you still get good speeds?
Oh do this if you haven't already in build.prop.

ro.ril.gprsclass = 12
ro.ril.hsxpa.category = 4

My speeds can vary greatly depending on the time of day. In evenings I drop to 700kb/s while midafternoon sits around 4-5mb/s. I have peaked to 9mb/s on the stock rom with the 1.11 radio. My first rom was JellyBam 4.1. I think I remember getting hspa+15 status, but I'm not 100% sure. Since I've tried $droyd$ unofficial aokp, bb7, DarkJelly 8.1. It's never visually showing hspa 15+. I think my speeds are the same, but that's just personal observation.

[Q] Verizon GS3 super slow after root. Please help

Hi I'm new here but I visit the site a lot for tips so thanks to all of you who take the time to post info. I rooted my galaxy s3 (sch i535, android v4.1.2, kernel version 3.0.31 1152558) with Odin 1.85 and CF Root. It is now running extremely slow, like 3mbps download speed on speed test. I unrooted, wiped the data with the stock recovery and reflashed the stock firmware but it is still extremely slow. While rooted I downloaded a cpu controller and maxed out the speed just to see if it would work, but download speed still remained painfully slow. (Prior to rooting I was seeing 40+ mbps download speeds). Can anyone give me some guidance on how to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

OK a couple of things.
1. Rooting, CPU speed, and download speed are not related. They will not affect each other. Changing CPU speed will not affect download speed.
2. Is this on a router? If so reboot the router. If on LTE it could be the tower you are connected to. Maybe maintenance.

Operating on LTE. As soon as the root was complete I noticed and overall lag in the operation of the phone (screen transitions, loading pictures from my gallery etc). I perfored the speed test right before I rooted and it was showing 40+ mbps, from the same tower I am now getting 3mbps. It definitely seems like this problem was caused by the rooting process (maybe I screwed something up). I'm not sure why my phone won't kick back up to normal speeds even after I've reflashed with stock firmware. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Radio will likely be the same, it will be the same download speeds. Connect to WiFi. Test it against other devices. If they get different speeds, it will be the device, if not, then just a fluke with the network probably. Test against another LTE device if you have it. Are you stock rooted or running a different ROM?

Data Speed of Jio Sim in mi4i

Hello friends,
How is the data speed of iio 4g in mi4i ???
Actually i got very low speed .sometime its fast but maximum times its slower..
Is there any tweaks or tricks to increase jio4g data speed in mi4i

hey,
I am from Ernakulam,Kochi. I get decent speeds here. Indoors I get minimum of 3.5mbps and maximum of 18mbps depending on the time. I once got 54mbps outdoors. Outdoors it's always 30mbps+.
Some tips I discovered are. The morning hours like 6-7 AM the speed is very high. During evening it works the slowest. So I'd say download during morning.
Find the best spot to get max speed at home by putting some big game like Asphalt on Play Store and roam around your home until you find that sweet spot.
Good Luck!

Depends on the location and time. The highest I got was 26 Mbps which was outdoor.

Yep actually it depends on pace and time.I saw different tricks in internet and try each one.But some works and some didn't.So,if u want to try it,here you go :-
1)At first change the internet protocol in APN setting to IP4/IP6.
2)Download a app name speedify and connect internet through India server by the app.
3)Try to download a app and resume it or watch a online video and pause it,see if ur speed increased.
4)Try to use uc browser for surfing and uc mini/ADM for downloading
I am not saying that these tricks will increase speed by lot but you can see a difference.Good luck.
