According to your post what you want isn't power but faster data speeds. If you're stuck buffering, it means your download and upload speeds aren't fast enough to enable you to stream the video continuously.
Hey guys, just did some Wifi testing on my phone, getting some really bad results. Wondering if you guys are getting similar results as I am. I'm using speedtest site on my home computer and speedtest app for my phone. Both the computer and phone are sitting next to the router, no more than 1 foot away.
Just to note, I use Verizon FIOS as my home connection.
Computer results are almost identical after numerous tries, numbers don't differ.
29-31 Mbps down
23-25 Mbps up
Ping: 9-11ms
Now the phone through wifi at the same distance.
11.74 Mbps down
4.2 Mbps up
ping: 58ms
15.81 Mbps down
1.9 Mbps up
ping: 63
11.72 Mbps down
1.64 Mbps up
ping: 175
8.27 mbps down
1.63 mbps up
ping: 166
13.41 mbps down
0.75 mbps up
ping 80
and it just keeps going inconsistent at that rate, the upload especially, never seems to be able to get past 5 mbps on Wifi.
4g speed is fine though at about 12 mbps down and 5 mbps up at 50-80 ping.
I still have my Droid INC so i'm testing the wifi on that as well, getting a lot better speed at about 20 mpbs down, 12 up.
Anyone experiencing similar results or is my charge just defective.
My wifi is terrible on this device. I will have full wifi service in my livingroom with all of my devices (I use an airport extreme wireless router) and cant even get wifi at the same spot with my charge...its pretty disappointing. Other devices include my thunderbolt, incredible, iphone, xoom, ipad, and ipod touch...not to mention my laptop...idk if its the EE4 radio or what the hell would cause this. I've tried different kernels with no luck at all...
I've noticed the WiFi signal is weak when I first unlock the phone, but then after a minute of use, it gains strength. Maybe its a battery saver thing?
So I live about 40 minutes out of Washington DC and my LTE has never been all that great, I never saw the big deal. I get about 1 mBps down and it drains battery incredibly fast. HSPA+ is basically just as fast and used less battery. However, this weekend I took a trip to Atlanta and I ran a speed test and got 3.5 mBps down and the battery drained at a very nice rate. I was pleasantly surprised. So just want to hear if LTE is actually as advertised for y'all. I'm on AT&T, so not sure how it will differ for you those of you outside of the US.
Sounds like your local LTE strength is weak. That will indeed kill your battery.
Most places I go, I get decent signal strength and at least 10 Mbps. Battery life is fine unless I get stuck in a dead spot.
My home town (Jefferson City Missouri) just turned on LTE at the beginning of the month. I average about 10Mbps down and my fastest has been about 25Mbps down. Battery life is slightly less than HSPA+, but not much worse.
It depends on the location. LTE is suppose support more connections effectively. However, a tower could be down. If you are getting different speeds in different locations then it ma lay be the tower. Also, you said you live 40mins away. That plays a factor. I live 45mijs away from Nashville, but that is because the drive is on the interstate going 70, not like down the street.

In Melbourne Australia Telstra LTE is great.
Get around 30 mbps inbound and 18-20 mbps outbound.
Signal strength is 4 - 5 bars and battery drain is pretty much the same as with HSDPA

Yup, def sounds like OP is in a fringe reception area. I often get over 20 Mbps on LTE, and sometimes over 30 Mbps (depending on work or home location), and battery life is very good (often get close to 48 hours with low usage). But the LTE coverage in my area seems very good.
LTE has also done wonders for the data connection at my house. I'm almost always on WiFi at home, but when I've had to fall back to cell network data, it was absolutely awful on HSPA+. On HSPA+, I was getting really slow data speed, 1 Mbps at best, and often a fraction of that, with frequent dropouts just trying to browse webpages. Now on LTE, its rock solid and the speed is excellent (not as good as at my work, but over 15 Mbps).
Everyone's experience is going to be different, depending on location. Some people actually get comparable or even higher speeds on HSPA+, and better battery life. But they are probably not in good reception areas.
Let's not forget building structures, population, and weather. There is a lotbof factors that play a part in reception. I did a speed test on HSDPA plus, and I got 6mb up and 3 down. I haven't done it on LTE yet. But the speed seems faster than my WiFi when I do travel to Nashville.

If I'm not mistaken, HSPA doesn't go that fast. Sounds like you got your test in megabits not megabytes. There's eight megabits in a megabyte.

I was on my phone, and did not feel like going for the "+" logo. As you can see it says "HSPA plus." Also, I have the app set up to show MB, not MiB.
I have LTE turned off and i've noticed i get atleast an hour extra of screen time due to this.
Still am able to stream pandora on my hourly commute.
AT&T LTE is on and off in my area. I think they're testing it.

Alright, I just thought the max HSPA+ could go was 42 Mbps which is just over 5 mBps

I live in Arlington, VA 3 miles from DC and I'm getting 22 down, 10 up. My battery life is great on LiquidSmooth 4.2.2. You must be just a little outside the LTE coverage area.

Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei Nexus 6P's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
WiFi strength is good...nothing spectacular.
Good wifi.
Works pretty good. Pick it up outside in my car from my parking spot. Not strong but still connected.

Wifi is great here....... @svetius how are you doing Sir.........long time
I don't know if it's my router (I just bought it 2 days before my phone came in) but my download speed is not very good. I have a 50mbps down and 25mbps up, but when I run speedtest I get anywhere from 1-30 down and always 25-30 up (normal). My upload is always fantastic, but down varies greatly. I don't know if it's the router or if it's my phone. In all situations I am less than 10 feet from my router.
Can anyone run speed test on 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands and inform me if they see odd download speeds? By odd I mean jumping up and down a lot.

Couldn't agree less, the wifi reception on this phone is worlds better than my 2014 Moto X, I'm getting 2-3x the bandwidth at the furthest distances in our house.
Substantially better range and throughput than my N6.
Find my wifi is good. No better or worse than all my other devices. Picks up where i expect it to and loose it where i expect it to. Again speed is on par with my other devices
Wifi on 6p is much better - get full 118Mbps download (cable limit) with Nexus 5 typically doing 80Mbps download at same time frame. Connected to router at 585Mbps but I have seen it a 7xxMbps rate to router but effective internet still cable limited.

I also am getting faster WiFi performance by a good amount WHEN I do .. reason saying that is that the results are very variable. I would like to attach a screen print I saved but do not see how.
Great throughout with alright range, wifi drops at less range than my Note 3 and S4. This based off two N6P, first device I returned as the auto rotation was broke.

My WiFi has been significantly better than my s4 so far with better throughput, latency, stability. My home connection is consistently above 500 Mbps.
First image 5ghz, Comcast 105-150mbps depending on time of day. Second image is 2.4ghz
WiFi is infinitely better than my previous phones, and 5ghz AC works better than on the iPhone 6s plus in the same spots. Signal strength on 5ghz AC is always 5-10db weaker than 2.4ghz. Plus, I get my full 90mbps everywhere in my house with 5ghz. 2.4 caps around 50-70 because of no free channels. Huawei did something right with the antennae, because I have no issues ever with signal/speed.
I'm getting lower pings and faster throughput on my 6P than my iMac 5K!
Of course, the position of my iMac may make a difference - but, regardless, that's bloody impressive. Huawei has always been pretty good with antenna design, and the larger size of the 6P presumably also helps?
In a test just now I got 9ms, 7.6 Mbps down, 1.1 Mbps up on my 6P (connection 526Mbps) and on my iMac 19ms, 6.8, 0.8 (connection 527Mbps*).
(* bit odd that one is 526 and the other 527 - maybe a rounding issue as I assume they're fixed increments?)
I'll second that WiFi speeds are noticeably faster than they were on my N6.
I haven't done any actual testing, but the primary thing I've noticed is that transfers to my local server are typically 20-30% faster.

On 5Ghz I got 72.2Mb down and 19.6Mb up on a 72/20 connection, so its running it flat out. This was through the speedtest.net app.
The signal on my 6p is significantly better than my Oneplus one. I tested both where wifi signal is lowest and tested both 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Pings are almost identical.
6p
5 ghz - 64.81 down / 12.19 up
2.4 ghz - 57.91 down /12.25 up
1+1
5 ghz - 30.70 down / 12.22 up
2.4 ghz - 17.30 / 12.16 up
Constantly drops Wifi. Then often forgets networks and even can't see any while scanning.
Hi all! I've been looking for some answers but without success. So here is my question, and hopefully I didn't miss the answers somewhere in the forum
I have a Honor View 10 with the latest updated (Android 10). I noticed that the device's bandwidth seems very slow (between 0.5 and 1MB/s download in 4G with full reception and between 1 and 6MB/s in WiFi, 1 meter away from the WiFi spot at home).
In the same conditions I get around 3 to 5x more bandwidth with an old iPad mini 2
Rebooting the V10 or going on plane mode for >15 seconds doesn't help. The bandwidth isn't stable, sometimes it's better sometimes a lot worse.
Question : is there any bandwidth limiter that activates on these phones when they get old?
I think I checked all the usual issues that could explain this problem. The 4G bandwidth could be bad for a ton of reasons. But what I don't understand is how any Apple product seems to have at least 10MB/s bandwidth on my WiFi, while this phone sometimes drops at 1MS/s (same conditions, less than 1 meter from the WiFi spot)
Thanks in advance for your replies
