Hello friends
I have purchased my mi4i two days ago.
But i noticed that i m getting very low speed(400_500kbps)on 3g mode.
I m using idea sim. At the same time when i m using the same sim on my Redmi 1s and Samsung galaxy s2, i m getting 800kbps to 1.2mbps download speed. Have anyone else noticed this?
Then i again when to mi india page where top 3g speed is shown as 3.6mbps (ss atteched) thats so pathetic as other devices have 21mbps or 14mbps top speed.
Please correct me if i am the only one who is facing this problem.
Now m feeling checked...
I once used 3g and i got more then 1.5 mbps speed on idea

Can u please post ur speed test results on 3g mode, as i got this. .
Speed test via OOKLA crosses 3.6 mbps with ease but while using apps that require constant data connection I feel as if its being throttled to 60 kbps - 75 kps. I can't pin point the issue.

What plan are u using 2g or 3g??
Your speed is too low i think u r using 2g plan.
I have noticed this problem too. 3g speeds are almost as slow as the Edge speeds on my old sGS3 --'
4g speeds are good though but the coverage over here is not that great so this really gets annoying :/

I have provided ss, the H + indicates it's on 3G also the speed test 8 mbps +. Check ss
Ohh now i have seen, your ping is good but 599kbps is still slow, plz try to do the same on different phone with the same sim. Then post results.
Coz i still think that it has a bad 3g modem.
Thanku
Same problem here, download speed is under 7 Mbps on H+, the same sim in other regular phone i get ~27Mbps.
Switched to 4G, i get ~35Mbps and in other phone i get ~100 Mbps...
I am using this phone since 2 days ANd yes ! the 3g speed is quite less as compared to speed given by my old phone (moto g1)
Yup @gigiunu and @akshaysalunke13
If u got any proper solution ir reason then please don't forget to share
Think its a Hardware problem (bad Hardware) or can be solved with a Software update ??
same issue
hi i also bought a mi 4i...everything is great except 3g...speed is almost non existent... cant even open facebook... when i used same sim on mu old samsung duos 2 3g works fine... so i had to setup a wifi hotspot from my old phone... now it seems i cant get rid of the phone i replaced...
have you guys tried change to 3G only ?
*#*#4636#*#* > phone * information and change network to WCDMA only.
try and post result please.

I have an LG Optimus Quantum, and for some very weird reason, the wifi is very slow. I have daily access to 2 wifi networks, home and work, and the phone behaves the same on both. Generally, in order to watch youtube or any other streaming video, I have to turn the wifi OFF or else the video never loads (or in rare cases where the video is small, it will eventually load).
The phone is not unlocked or anything, and I have had it for 4 months and it has always behaved this way.
My home network gets speeds of 17mb/s on a wifi laptop.
Using 3g right I am getting 120, 224, 224, 130 & 156 kb/s using Speedtest app after doing 5 consecutive tests.
Wifi tests 112, 130, 130, 142 & 130 kb/s using Speedtest app (to perform wifi test, I put the phone into airplane mode, then start wifi connection).
Anyone have any input here?
Could be a problem with the firmware? But I think that must be device specific because I haven't noticed that at all (Samsung Omnia 7).
Guess you'll have to see what fellow Optimus users are experiencing.
EDIT: Actually, I downloaded the Speed Test app and my WiFi download speeds ~300KB/s (apparently). Then did a speed test over my WiFi on my laptop and got ~2Mb/s (eventhough it's supposed to be a lot faster than that). So...?

Same for my HD7. My 3Mb/s DSL WiFi signal averages around 2500Kb/s on my iPhone, HD2 and PC. But on my HD7, the best I can get is around 300Kb/s speed with SpeedTest. It's the same for the data as well. And it isn't anything to do with the carrier.
EDIT - Actually I'm wrong, it's much slower than that. I was paying attention to the bar number and didn't notice the average number upon completion. Mine shows around 200Kb/s. One test was 191Kb/s and another was 212Kb/s.
I noticed this too with the Wifi at work.
At home the wifi is definately faster than 3g but at work the wifi is so slow i just turn it off and use 3g.
Does anyone think that there is a setting in the MFG menu we can adjust that would help?
OFF Topic: What App(Free) did you guys use to test the phone's 3G & WiFi Connection Speed...
Thanks.
Weird. I get my full 10Mbit speeds on my home internet, and full speeds at work and everywhere else I get WiFi. Much faster than the 3G, which gets around 2.3Mbit down on average.
I've got an HTC Surround on AT&T.
the speedtest app in the marketplace got horrible reviews, gonna try BandWidth and see how it does. Right now I'm on my mobile hotspot at work so I should be able to get a clean test as I'm the only one on it.
I have used mobilespeedtest.com in the past but heard it can be inaccurate too.
To the OP, I haven't had any wifi issues. Videos start faster on my home wifi (20mbps), than on my hspa+ t-mobile signal.
Ok, the BandWidth app (free in the marketplace) seems pretty accurate. On first run, I got 590 kbps which is consistent with time warner (aka sprint network) 3g mobile hotspot speeds. Really wish I got 3g t-mobile signal in my office....
I really think this free BandWidth app is fairly accurate.
Just did another test, this time using my mobile hotspot on 4g and speeds came back:
2.7 mbps down
0.47 mbps up
This is consistent with the crappy 4g speeds on sprint (what a disappointment wimax has turned out to be, but still much better than sprint 3g...)

It only works on cellular data networks. I'm needing to test the WiFi speed on my WP7. But, of course, I'm just using the trial version. Maybe the retail version works with WiFi.
Visiting tracert.org via IE on Wifi I tested as 6.18 Mbps (about half the 12 Mbps I achieve on my PC). On 3G I scored 1.74 Mbps in my house which doesn't exactly get the best reception.
This is on a US TMobile HD7.
I get 1,80Mbps on Wi-fi, when I get ~13Mbps on PC. It's poor I have to say, comparing my previous phones.

Nice! Thanks for the link, mate. My HD7 rang in at 2.61Mb/s. Which is exactly what it should be.
I've noticed this also especially in IE. Xda loads up much faster on my 3G than my WiFi. I also notice that is I turn off the 3G and use edge and WiFi it seems that the speeds should be at where they should be at using a WiFi connection. If I have WiFi and 3G on at the same time the speeds are slower....
Testest Tracert.org on my Focus & my Nexus One.
Focus:
3G: 856kbps download
WiFi: 1.4Mbps
Nexus One:
3G: 1.43Mbps
WiFi: 3.94Mbps
Something is definitily wrong here.
Same problem here exactly!
wi-fi: DL- 56kbps UL- 78kbps ping- 1218
3G: DL- 3106kbps UL- 1228kbps ping- 131
Device: Xperia Arc
On my previous phone, which was Xperia X1 I had much better results on wi-fi than on 3G. Also because X1 runs on WM6.1 there are settings to improve wifi performance, Android doesn't have anything of the kind as far as I know.
My modem is b/g, Arc has b/g/n. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
I wonder what causes this and what could be done to solve the issue.
I also have slow Wifi . ATT surround .
Mine is coming in at 36.03 Mbps with a download speed of 4.5MB/sec on wifi. I have an HD7.

Have you tried to update the phone, even if you just got it but this could be some kind glitch on the software which could easily be fixed by doing an update.

I agree, it could be easily fixed by an update if there was an update with the glitch fixed or any update for the Arc at all. I have since found that the wifi connectivity problem is caused by encryption. The Arc can handle WEP but using WPA or WPA2 the connection is painfully slow with a great loss of packets.
Doing a fix through PC Companion and reloading the whole system however doesn't work.
just wondering, i just took the speedtest and got 2.46 up and 0.20 down =/ i think it might be a bit slow =/
If thats ment to be 4G its a little slow yes. The speed test on my signature was done on a the THREE UK 3G network using the stock browser on my Sensation. I think my local cell has recently been upgraded to HSPA+.
My internet works too slow . i have tata docomo sim on 2g network. In other phone which i used before my phone(non android) used to give speed around 10-18 kbps in day time while in peak time it used to be 25-30 kbps.....Y my internet works so slow in this phone? now it gives speed of 2-3kbps....no application works...they keep saying check ur network setting. data network symbol is there but still it doesnt works....
Any solution For this??

Okay people, so I came across these things when I googled for increasing 3G speeds.
[edit]: this can benefit you of getting 3g speeds on 2g, like me.just you need to switch to 'wcdma only' mode.
Follow ahead :
(This will mostly work for indians. And maybe for you too )
1) download this software called 3g/4g speed optimizer from market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsInByb3Zpc2lvbi5uZXRzcGVlZC5vcHRpbWl6ZXIiXQ..
2) Download this script manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result
3) Download the 3G turbcharger script by zeppelinrox from HERE
NOTE: you might want to compare the speed differences after and then of this tweak. If you, then download the NQ mobile security app from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nqmobile.antivirus20&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ucW1vYmlsZS5hbnRpdmlydXMyMCJd and it should give you a small network meter which shows current network speed. download it, start it, and then download something from the play store to see how much speed you are getting. Its going to get increased soon anyway
Now Follow ahead
Start 3g/4g speed optimizer
-choose network speed as 12/28/7-max speed
-check on down speed increase
-now click on apply tweak.
!!!RESTART YOUR DEVICE!!!
Now open script manager
-browse to the downloaded 3g turbocharger text file
-check on superuser icon(N00BS: the android skeleton icon)
-click on run. script will load. wait till it asks to make a selection...
-scroll up and see what setting you need. fast, faster or fastest. I would recommend fastest. enter the option number.
-again enter the option to reboot.
thats it!
After reboot, your 3G speeds should be increased
To check your speeds, again download something from play store, something bigger than 2-3 megabytes would be preferable as it lets you see how far the speeds can get.
NOTE 2: this may not work for everyone, if it doesn't for you, dont blame me, you probably are already getting the max speed from your network operator.
Also I would again like to mention that indian users will be mostly benefited with this tweak. Enjoy, and dont forget to press the button if it works for you

Hey.. thanks for sharing! btw which network are you on? Earlier in docomo i just used to switch to wcdma mode and the ping reduced drastically and the upload speed was very good, only the download speed was of 2g... i think this trick would give me 3G speed at that time but now docomo only gives 3G signal only when you subscribe to a 3G pack...
oh.. BSNl, sorry i was on phone... so you are now getting 3G speed on 2G plan by switching to wcdma mode?
Very helpful for users in india and likes...
Great post Shreyas,
I haven't tried same myself and also since i already have a airtel 3g but i must say that till few months back i was struggling with 2g data speeds and anyone who is still suffering with same can get hugely benefited with this trick.
Would love to see some screenshots of improvements in data transfer speeds if you or anyone else has to share...

Yes bro even I was was on docomo till they stopped the 3g coverage to non 3g subscribers... now I have switched to bsnl, enjoying 500kb+ speeds. but I was more happy on docomo, it used to give 700kb+ speeds.
Yea docomo gives good 3G speed , I'm subscribed to Rs96 for 720MB... speed is above 600KB/s... btw is it true there is no unlimited data plan in bsnl 2G now and which plan are you on?
Rs. 96/- and 750MB 3G...sounds good
Sadly DOCOMO 3G is yet not available in Mumbai. Good for you though H1manshu

Just received my Phab 2 Pro from Lowes. Put my SIM card in from my Nexus 6P. It originally showed 4G+ (which I am assuming is LTE) but now I cant get anything but 4G and some pretty bad reception, averaging 1.1mb/s download to 5. I'm a good spot at work which normally got LTE speeds on my N6P.
Anyone else on Tmobile getting LTE?
Let me get back to you
I'm on T-MOBILE. I just received my phone from Lowe's as well, and I'm getting c. 60 down and 6 up on LTE band 4.

How do you know what band you are on? Do you also see the 4G+? Or do you see 4G LTE symbol?
I am on T-Mobile in Tucson, AZ and have found that I am getting an average of about 3.5Mbps down and 0.4Mbps up when using 4G. I know that 4G service in my area should be better than this, as my old phone (a Sony Z Ultra GPE) was getting over 40bps down and 10Mbps up.
I have found that 3G on the Phab 2 gets me around 5.0Mbps down, and 1.8Mbps up, so that is what I am currently using.
If I had known the Phab 2 was going to get such poor speeds, I would have gotten an Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra instead.

I did some tinkering with the APN settings, and discovered that changing it from IPv6 only to IPv4/IPv6 improved the speed significantly. I am now getting around 9.5Mbps down and 5.6Mbps up. Still slower than I was expecting from this phone, but much more acceptable to me.
I can't seem to get band12 on this phone. Anyone else able or not able to get band 12?

This phone has 2 SIm card slots, right, anyone tested to see are the speeds the same on both? I'm in San Diego, getting 3.5 down and 14 up, was getting 30+ down.
Just tested the 2nd outer slot and 2G only....

For anyone wondering how to do this:
Go to Settings > (Wireless & Networks) More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Then, on mine, T-Mobile US 260 LTE (fast.t-mobile.com) has the radio button selected. Select it again.
Scroll down to "APN protocol", and choose "IPv4/IPv6"
Thanks! (Also from Tucson! )

I am getting band 12, and I'm coming from Note 4 that was never able to catch it in my area.
On LTE speed.... I did clock the fastest test so far in my house on Phab, at 47 Mbps.
This is not to say it's consistently faster than other phones.
USE This APP to view LTE Detail. I have a Phab 2 Pro On T-Mobile and have no issues
