Slow 5Ghz and 2.3Ghz Wifi Speed - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
i would like to ask if anyone of you here facing issues with browsing speed
The issue is very obvious when i am making a search on google chrome (google.com)
there is a huge delay when i press enter to search.

I think the browsing speed is fine. It's possible that the phone is just being laggy.

Problem with Opera

Has anyone noticed issues with browsing on opera? The first couple of web pages load fine but then after clicking a few links and seeing the pages, subsequent links just freeze, sometimes after a while you do get some kind of a "page cannot be displayed message" but not always, most of the times it just sits there.
Exiting the browser and relaunching it seems to work but the same problem comes up after browsing a few pages.
This seems to only happen whilst using GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA on O2 UK, WiFi is fine!
Your input would be highly appreciated!
Same Problem to my Device. HTC Touch Pro on o2 Germany.
It seems that there is a Problem with switching from UMTS to HSDPA. The Raphael only activates HSDPA when its really needed.
First I tought it is a problem with HSUPA because in Germany o2 don't have HSUPA at the moment. So I only activated HSDPA. But the only way to fix the problem with Opera I found:
Deactivate HSDPA/HSUPA. Only use UMTS (3G).
Its Way slower, but Opera needs time to display a webpage, so that the speed increasement is only noticable when downloading files...
Its not a very nice solution, but the only way I found until now.
Sorry for my poor english...

Nice one Daniel, I'll give this a try. It seems that only O2 UK has this problem, I will test with other networks and post my results also. Many thanks for your advice!
I can also vouch for this i'm also on o2 UK and have had my touch pro for 6 weeks and was getting so annoyed with the lousy internet browsing which was a big reason for me getting the phone in the first place. the phone was constantly freezing after 2-3-4 maybe 5 at best web pages and even then it wasn't at a consistent speed, i first thought it was the phone but no one else seemed to be complaining so then i thought it coud be the data connection settings might be incorrect being the phone isn't endorsed by o2 but couldn't find nothing wrong there so eventually like yourself i found turning off of the HSDPA/HSUPA
settings-connections-advanced network-HSDPA/HSUPA = disable
solved everything and even though i may not be getting 3.5G speeds its a lot faster then my Nokia N95 ever was at loading web pages.
I'd be interested to know how you found the performance on other networks (I've only got o2 sims so cant try another network) from what I've gathered o2 inst that great when it comes to data/speed and there 3.5g is pretty flaky I expect this is what's coursing the problem and not the phone itself

unfortunately I cannot try other networks as my SIMs are not registering anymore. However, you are right, having tested the above solution, its much better. We shouldn't have to do this, period. Have you tried only switching off HSUPA? I'm about to do the same, lets share the findings...
right, hopefully this would be the same for everyone else on O2 using the Touch Pro. Using only 3g works and setting it to only HSDPA also works. HSDPA/HSUPA is what causes the problems... Let me know if anyone else finds anything different...
Hi I've not had any issues with Opera with HSDPA/HSUPA still enabled - have you tried increasing the settings/advanced/cache size?
I increased mine to 10000kb
my problem is that Opera displays very poorly - i have to constantly zoom and drag the page around...
and the stupid soft keyboard won't stop popping up even though i thought i had disabled it (SIP settings)
and it always goes back to portrait mode - unless the keyboard is open it won't stay still!

[Q] online speed issues

Guys,
I got some issues with online functionality, meaning slow responsiveness.
When i browse and type online, it all goes very slowly.
When i use the marmet, that too does its searches very slowly. Sometimes it doesnf even show the search results. Its not a problem with my internet as my mac and my phone do not have these issues.
Im running prime v1.2
Any ideas why?

[Q] Slow download speed on a fast internet connection with an excellent wifi signal

I just wrote a long post detailing my problem and lost it all the instant I hit the 'submit' button because the forum timed out. AHHH. I'm sure some of you have been there and know the feeling!
Anyway, I just came across the revelation today that there is something seriously wrong with the download speed of my Infinity tablet. For as long as I can remember, I have had trouble watching Youtube videos. Occasionally, they would play fine. But more often than not, the streams would constantly pause every couple of seconds to buffer -- making the videos unwatchable. This behavior was the same on all the channels I visited. I don't watch Youtube videos that often, but it has finally irritated me enough to investigate it.
According to my tablet's wifi settings, my link speed is 39Mbps from my usual location. I brought the tablet to the same room as the router (an Asus RT-16) and the link speed increased to 65Mbps, but this did not solve the constant buffering problem. I then performed a factory reset and left my tablet clean, only downloading updates for the stock apps including Youtube. Unfortunately, the problem remained.
Now this is where things get interesting. I have a 12Mbps internet connection. I went to speedtest.net on my desktop PC and it reported 11.54Mbps down and 1.48Mbps up. Quite reasonable. Then I downloaded the Speedtest app onto my Infinity. Even with a 65Mbps link speed, I could not achieve more than 2.02Mbps down and 1.57Mbps up on the same server I tested my desktop. I then tried other nearby servers, and all them were between 1.65Mbps and 2.0Mbps down. 2.02Mbps was the fastest download speed I could achieve.
For a comparison, I then ran Speedtest on my Galaxy Nexus phone. It achieved 9.33Mbps down and 1.61Mbps up.
Any ideas why my Infinity can only reach a download speed of 2.02Mbps, even with a 65Mbps link speed?

I just downloaded the app Speedtest.net and ran a test. The results are 15526kbps download and 2806kbps upload. I used to have that problem with the stock rom. Currently, I am using custom rom and some tweaks with the tablet's network. It does not have the buffering problem any more. So far, I have no problem with streaming movies or youtube unless three or more devices sharing the same network in my house. My current settings on my tablet are Cromi X V4.6.6 and Hundsbuah V3.0.6 OC CPU at 1.8G all cores, UV about 35mV, and GPU at 700M. To answer your question, there are a lot of things could affect the network. These are a few major problems: the buffersize setting, low RAM memory, slow I/O, and other poor factory setting came with the TF700T. There are a lot of good information scattering everywhere on this website. With some research, you can fine tune your device. Good luck.

Thanks for the detailed response LMK. To make things more confusing, I just re-ran the speedtest about 5 hours after the first series of tests and the download speed is now 9.81Mbps down and 1.64Mbps up. So this is an intermittent issue which explains why I can sometimes watch Youtube videos without issue. I have been sorely tempted to unlock my device, but I have a stuck pixel and I was worried other hardware issues might creep up during the warranty period.

I unlocked my device after a few day of purchase. I never attempt to tweak with stock rom. Therefore, I don't know if I can help you further. There are a lot of experts on this site. They will give you some good advises on this topic. If you some how can access to build.prop and init.d, those area where I tweaked my network. Maybe, you can access those files with rooted. You probably can find some answer with searching on this site.
Could be RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Look around your house for wireless devices in the same freq range as your wifi router. Usually 2.4ghz. Cordless phones, baby room monitors, wireless speakers and sometimes microwave ovens. If you have any of these types of devices unplug them all then run your speed tests again several time to the same site. I get good speeds on mine using the speedtest app. Usually 19-21 mb on a U-Verse 24mb connection. But I had problems when I installed a rear wireless speaker adapter from Radio Shack for my surround sound system. It knocked me down to 3-4 mb. I beat my brains out (the few I have) for days until I unplugged ALL wireless devices (not PCs) and then one at a time plugged them back up running speedtests at the addition of each device. Then I discovered the RS wireless adapter was the culpret. Lucky for me it has a switch for three different channels. Changing the channel on it cured my problem. Placing my router on wireless channel 4 helped even more. Neighbors on either side of me are on ch 11. I also suspect the RS device was just about there too.
Just a passing thought. I hope you get your problem solved.
BTW My TF700 is completely stock.
Any Help is Welcome

Perplexing.
I have this bufferng situation also, if that's what is the culprit.
Solved my up/dn problem by removing my access point
I am 65mbps 13-24 mbps but can not stream YouTube etc. Plays a bt then the hourglass.
I think wi-fi interference would hurt the 65mbps connection speed not the upload/download speed.
I have a linksys router and the special Linksys modem built for Comcast system.
I can only look at system or apps conflict as the culprit but damn if I can find it.
I have been CROMi since Scot's incarnation.
Any Help is Welcome, thanx
Strange. On my stock TF700, with a good 65Mbps connection, with Speedtest I see 19Mbps down and 5Mbps or so up, about the same as my Nexus 7 and laptop. Are you using the same test server for all of your tests?

Wifi periodically not loading/spinning on facebook, browser and in games

I have the latest firmware on my asus router with all udates and fixes.I use the router plain and simple with no features like icloud or other things. I am alone so it is just I that use wifi on my mobile. Often when i use fakebook or browser it will not load and is just spinning...and wifi is connected(i also check this when it is happening). So to solve it i have to turn off wifi and turn on 4g.and use that a few seconds and then back to wifi..then it is ok until next time it happen. And it happen more often on browser than fakebook. I also tried to check out other browsers but same result. Tried to search internett and xda but no sucsess....Does anybody know anything about this problem?
And maybe it is just the way things are. I also quite often have to restart my computer when youtube videos(often) or Netflix(only sometimes) wont play..just black screen in youtube websitescreen.
I have had this problem for a while now but nobody answer mer or acknologedge this problem. I have posted this in general in Note 3 thread and in a Merl router forum.

Games take a loooooong time to load with wifi

I have a Samsung galaxy a70, my WiFi speed is pretty fast but it keeps loading games forever (unless I use mobile data or VPN). Although I still have yet to try another wifi network. But anyway, I play only two games, honkai impact 3rd and mobile Legends. Honkai impact 3rd just keeps showing me the loading icon for long after which it dissappears and comes again after like 2 seconds, and if I try online in the game, it doesn't let me join at all. As for Mobile Legends (it's a MOBA) the loading screen takes sooo long (it shows everyone's loading percentage) and I'm always the last one to load, the inside of the game is so smooth, my ping is usually 8ms. Even when I'm browsing Instagram, videos and comments will load as if my WiFi speed is 1kb/s. This doesn't affect any browser tho. Didn't try with Facebook. This only happens on my phone in the whole house.
Forgot to add: This randomly starts happening and goes away after pretty long
Maybe cause the server you're trying to connect is far away? idk i don't know about games that much.

Wireless networks use two main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) and 5 GHz. These frequency bands affect how far and how fast data can travel over WiFi. The 2.4 GHz band gives you slower speeds at a longer range, while the 5 GHz band gives you faster speeds at a shorter range.
So, if you want the fastest WiFi speeds, you should always use the 5 GHz band. However, the more devices you have on one band, the slower your WiFi will be.
Wifi connection has nothing to do with loading screen .. what is your performance rating on Mobile Legends?
With regards to a Wi-Fi connection many aspects come into play, such as bandwidth, Internet speed and latency, among others.
When the mentioned games get launched they at 1st thing of all things fetch data / resources from Internet what will take some time which depends on the 3 above mentioned criteria. The progress typically gets shown on game's loading screen.
Same is the case when you from within the games try to establish a further Internet connection.
BTW: An Internet speed of 1KB/s indeed is really inacceptable. Normally the Internet speed is in the range of 700-800 KB/s.
goto Setting then Network Test then Performance Test and let Mobile Legends rate your device also fast loading screen have disadvantage you will never have time seeing enemy team hero selections and decide what equipment to buy to counter them ...
here's mine MediaTek Heli P20 rating on Mobile Legends not that fast but it's decent
It's not only on games, Instagram does not load videos at all, and my WiFi download speed is 5 mbps so I'm pretty sure it's not my WiFi at fault. As for mobile Legends, now that it added the data optimization thing at the start of the game, the loading speed is back to normal now. But honkai impact 3rd and Instagram remains the same, ESPECIALLY Instagram.
