Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me insight on this weird problem?
Using the same SIM in both, Both Native Hotspot on 2.4Ghz band, same servers and tried others.
My google pixel 2 isn't getting over 1 Mbps. But when I switch the sim back over to my pixel 1 I get over 10Mbps. (If I throw it in my LTE modem I get average 70 Mbps)

Pixel 1 *Left* vs Pixel 2 *Right* SpeedTest On Phones
Pixel 1 *First* vs Pixel 2 *Second*
Some kind of throttling on the Pixel 2 but not on Pixel?
I have the same problem. Tethering with the same Sim card through my OnePlusOne gives 15Mbps on my desktop, but it drops to 0.5Mbps while using through the Pixel 2 XL (regardless the carrier frequency).
USB tethering doesn't work at all, but I guess that belongs to another thread.
I'm having this issue too. No problems on my old Nexus 4. Same SIM card. I have unlimited data and never come close to my tethering banddwidth limit, so I'm not being throttled.
Anyone find a solution?
I've tried several solutions. Didn't make much difference, but I feel better about giving unlimited data to the tethering service (go to Settings/Apps&Notifications/Advanced/Special app access/Unrestricted data -- then from menu: Show System).
What did make an actual difference was getting the november security update. (Needed some trick for the update to show up on my phone.. T-mobile SIM out, original Verizon SIM in, update shows up in Settings/System update, Verzion SIM out, restart phone without any SIM, download & install update on WiFi, T-mobile SIM back). My WiFi tethering went up from 0.5Mbps to 13-15MBps (measured on desktop). Hope it helps.
Have the same issue - bumping thread
same problem, anyone found a fix yet? I just downloaded 8.1 but that hasn't fixed it.
VPN?
I was reading this thread and it reminded me of similer problems when using a VOIP app. I decided to engage a VPN first and all my speed and port problems went away.
The question for consideration is whether this would work for those using tethering and experiencing slow downs? The theory is that it the speed increases, then there is throttling by the carrier.
Thoughts?
For those it of you it might help a little. I did hours or research couldn't figure it out (have tried alot) . I just pretty much gave up and did the VPN trick. For those of you who wants to try it just download any VPN. I got a "modified" version of hotspot elite then added TetherNet from the store (YOU HAVE TO HAVE ROOT FOR THIS APP) and allowed my tether to connect to my VPN. The speed isn't 100% there but works..
Phone Speed is about 80 Mbps and tether speed I get about 20 Mbps.
and just incase any one asks I have the Tmobile 10gb high speed plan. At this moment I have used 2.35gb so I shouldn't be throttled yet incase anyone thinks that is the problem!
Has anyone tried calling their carrier to see if their phone is whitelisted for high speed hotspot?

I have a stock Rogers HTC OneX running the latest stock update 4.1.1. Not rooted, never had a custom installed on this particular device.
I am unable to use the mobile hotspot like I used to before the update. Both my laptops, my tablet and my TV can all connect to my HTC OneX with no issues. However, on each device, the connection is "Limited Connectivity" with no internet access.
I had originally thought it was the devices themselves and their settings. However, after using a friends device as a hotspot, each device connects perfectly with full connectivity. It has become obvious it is my OneX and it's settings preventing a full connection.
Here is where I ask you experts on how I may fix this issue.
Here are some SS of my current settings if it helps. Thank you for your help

Just wanted to follow up just in case other have the same issue as me.
After performing quite the bit of troubleshooting, I decided to call Rogers. Since the last time I have used me device as a hotspot, late fall, there have been two things that have happened. My data service got flipped over from HSPA to LTE and Rogers pushed out the HTC OneX 4.1.1 update. At first the tech was puzzled as my account seemed to be provisioned correctly. In the end, he removed tethering from my account, and reapplied it. This solved my issue immediately.
Before you jump in about Rogers and tethering; due note that Rogers USED to have a separate paid account feature for tethering. They removed this, and included tethering on all accounts, saying "data is data" which is a great thing. However, when rogers was ushering in LTE, originally they were NOT going to provision current users with HSPA data plans with LTE service. LTE data was going to be an extra feature you jumped over to for an extra cost, AND they were going have a separate provision code for tethering. This was shortly lived and just before LTE came out they announced that all data plans will be LTE compatible, with no extra charge so long as you had an LTE device. The old provision codes remained in the system and are supposed to be automatically added. Sometimes this does not happen or gets bugged causing my issue. This according the CSR Tech I spoke with.
TLDR; Out dated provision codes still in system and sometimes bug out. Rogers CSR reset my tethering feature and all is well and working.
Thought I put this here, in case someone has the same issue.
Just got my Orange UK S4. Orange also run a 4G network called EE, and my phone is EVR ie EE network coded.
My contract is NOT on the 4G network, since I didnt need it.
My first attempt at using the internet connection (away from wifi) was a download of a 1.5meg PDF attachment in the email app, and it was ridiculous slow, like it took 5 mins
Also the browser was not responding or downloading data at all.
So had a brain wave and went into network settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ and changed from 2g/3g/4g, to "2g/3g"
and this solved the issue perfectly.
I think the problem is that in the 4G mode, the phone keeps trying repeatedly (like for every packet) to connect in 4g, and gets rejected by the network, so downshifts to 3g or HDSPA for downloading one packet, and repeats the whole merry cycle...
Hope this might some confusion for others in the future.:laugh:
More likely that the phone was camped onto an Orange 3G bts initially. By swapping network type selection you forced it to pick up a tmobile site....remembering that tmobile and orange share each others networks now under the banner of EE.
A lot of orange sites were never that fast anyway, even worse now the join with tmobile. They are relying a lot more on the tmobile 3G sites.

On T-Mobile here and switching LTE off makes absolutely no difference to my speeds :/ Ran a test with LTE on and off and I get 10Mb on and off.

OP here!
The first download was crazy slow, 1000 times slower than when I was on the pure Orange network, but it seems fixed now, and on my new rom flashed yesterday, it seems ok.
Completely agree about the orange/EE service at present. It has become terrible, I think they are shoving all subscribers onto one network, and its becoming harder to make a call without it dropping etc... And this is in West London!
Morning All,
Silly question but one that has me foxed since I started using my Pro. Has anybody been able to carry out a proper Wi-Fi speed test as when I've tried I've never been able to get more that 5Mb d/l and 18Mb u/l in any result. My speed is 78Mb/19Mb fixed and on my other tabs 30Mb/55Mb.
Anybody know why this is so and/or if I'm doing something wrong.

I think me and you only. I have found that the day I bought it, but I thought its wifi slow by default. I am thinking about sending it to samsung for repair.
Haven't noticed any issues with mine. Here's some data.
I'm about 35ft from Tomato with no obstruction. Tomato2 and both TP-Link(2.4/5) are in a bedroom ten feet further (door closed)

I had the same slow WIFI speed with my SM-P900 when it arrived. Last week I received an OTA software update and the WIFI 5 GHz speed seems to be fixed. There was definitely something wrong with the firmware. My NotePro is much more responsive and faster with the new update. I have kernel version 3.4.39-1131235 from Sat Mar 29. Build number P900XXUANC4.
This is interesting. I have the wifi version ( tab pro) and went to Verizon to test out the snapdragon chip to see if i can see a clear difference. I logged on to Verizons same wifi that the demo was on and my tab pro did circles around it in regards to web browsing. Assume it was just the store demo bloated, etc. BUT, your comments make me wonder if some units have s;low wifi for some reason.
I also assume the tab pro 12.2 and the note 12.2 is the exact device minus the pen.

No problem with my 12.2 LTE on wifi. It got about 30Mb down, 22Mb up. My desktop (fixed) gets about 80 Mb/22Mb.
No issues with WiFi here.
Desktop (5GHz) for reference: 28.83 / 5.70 (down / up)
Note Pro (2.4GHz): 29.05 / 6.62
Note Pro (5GHz): 27.05 / 6.56
Comcast, 2pm on Sunday.
Tethered to my S4 (Verizon): 48.70 / 17.60
Sorry late in replying been busy, any way for some unknown a few days back I did a speed test and everything was back to how it should 60Mb d and 17Mb u. Still have no idea why I was only getting low results before.
Thank you all for you replies and advice.

@sheepybach same here, my wifi speed back to normal after a few days. strange!!!
makki,
It makes no sense to me 1 bit lol
This issue hasn't bothered me too much until recently but is there a specific issue that I'm getting such slow speeds when I tether? On USB to my computer my max is 200kbs and when I use it as a hotspot, the max is 10kbs. I have pretty good LTE reception and amazing HSPA+ reception in my house. I've tried tethering with just 3G as well and still about the same. Is this due to the native tethering app that the Android system gives? Should I use something like Foxfi or something like that to see much more improvements? Without tethering, my data speeds are off the roof. Anyone with a solution to this?
i have no issue like that(unlimited high speed data plan). try playing with some settings or give tmo a call. on lte, and i always wirelessly tether, i see nearly the same as my data speeds, 30-50mbps download speeds while tethering.
How are you tethering in the first place? I thought T-Mobile only allowed tethering if you bought an extra plan?

no, all their simple choice plans include tethering. they are all unlimited tether except the unlimited high speed data plan, it comes witb 5gb tethering and is $80. im on an earlier version, i pay $70 for the same plan, but get only 3gb tethering
oh, its unlimited on all the smaller high speed simple choice plans because their speeds get reduced when they reach their limit. its limited on the completely unlimited high speed plan because we would all use it for our total home internet.

I used the "tether_dun_required" method to tether using my plan. I actually don't have subscription to T-mobile tethering. It's the prepaid plan, not the simple choice one. Is that the issue then?

it very well could be
Two days ago, I noticed my backups (pictures, etc) had stopped on my Pixel with errors of 'Network Timeout.' After playing around trying to pin down the problem (NAS is ok, Router is fine, etc.), I found the phone just won't upload. Or it does intermittently at 100-200 Kbps with the VERY occasional burst of 45-50 Mbps. Downloads are fine, extremely fine at 90-110 Mbps. I do not believe it is a problem with the router as other devices on the same network have no problems. I am including screenshots from a HTC M9 and Pixel both connected to the same AP.
Now for the kicker. The Pixel is works as expected when connected to other WiFi APs (such as work, random Linksys and Netgears in the neighborhood, etc.). Just not at home. So back to the problem is with my router. But how, if everything else works fine? I'm posting here as well as the DD-WRT forums. Maybe between the two I can find a resolution or someone else experiencing the same.
Devices used while testing:
Linksys WRT-1900AC running DD-WRT
Pixel (Google store variant not VZW)
HTC M9
Acer Chromebook
ASUS laptop running Win10

Are you using IPv6 on your home network? If so, disable it and test it out. There have been reported problems with ipv6.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks for the reply. However, no, I do not have IPv6 on my network. Also, as suggested on the DD-WRT forums, I do not have QoS enabled. This all seems strange as nothing was changed on my phone nor my network. Phone was fine one day and acting up the next and nothing else on the network is experiencing issues. Long weekend coming up so I'm thinking about erasing and resetting the phone to factory settings to start fresh. Phone is stock (not rooted, and still locked) as I actually like how it is and feel no need to alter it. Just perhaps something got fouled up on it. Will post back once I do the reset. In the mean time, if anyone has further suggestions, I am listening.
