[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Mjolnir:
Pretty sure they will allow it on phone, the number of phones that will actually be able to use that speed will be small so it won't matter too much. The current dongles can already use up to 14mbps, but the realistic max. is 10.8(both stated on the dongle box), and of course the real-world max will be around 7.2, which is what most phones can currently use.

AFAIK there is no limit imposed on the sims, and no plans to add any, but of course the realistic speeds are never the maximum possible.

well with att and my current SGS1 i get 6.5mbps on speedtest.net, and have actually personally seen download speeds of 9300kbps using TubeMate

I live in Belfast and Vodafone is the best for data here. 3G availability widely and it's pretty fast. Used my mate's o2 Desire yesterday (compared to my girlfriend's VF Desire) and I ran out of patience with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
As promised here is an example speedtest with 3, it surprised me too :)

Im jealous of 6.5 mbps, it's also nice to see confirmation about o2, it wasn't just me, I might publish my findings in other parts of the forum as it does not only apply to samsung galaxy s'

Edit as promised more speedtest proof

This is o2 payg with full signal strength in west london :( I repeated the test several times as I couldn't believe my eyes

Edit more from speedtest this time I have managed to borrow a virgin contract sim (uses T-Mobile) same as the o2 test west London full signal
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
was with o2. their speed are terrible around my area less then 0.5 mbps. now i am considering three, they have very good 3g coverage and best of all their AYCE data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjatt:
I would also like to vouch for Orange. The speed appears to vary depending on the signal rather than the network as a whole. For example in central london I was getting super fast 3g (streaming live sport and even tethering it to the laptop to get live sport) but in Northampton the 3g was quite slow. In Leicester the 3G is moderately quick but in some areas (despite being in the centre of the city) I didin't get 3g at all.

So in conclusion its the network coverage that varies rather than any kind of cap or poor service network wide.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Fair comment, maybe I was to quick to dismiss orange, I already knew t mobile was pants, please post up speed test results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjatt:
Yea I just gave my subjective opinion so I'll put up the speed tests in the next week or so (I'm away at the mo)

Oh and I meant to ask - was there a particular thread you were referring to about the poor t-mobile/orange data?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Yes it's the thread where a group of forum members on here have managed to prove that t-mobile are supplying heavily reduced data performance unless you phone them up and twist there arm into enabling pda data rates on your sim.

I can't remember where the thread is though !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renegade1488:
I was on O2 for 3 years until a month ago and I took their data speeds for granted.

In central London I was getting 3-4mbps solid no problems.

Went onto T-Mobile, the mast for which is pretty much next to the O2 one, best I could ever get is about 1.5mbps, averaging about 500-700kbps in exactly the same place. That was after ringing them several times to get the bloody 300kbps speed cap taken off.

I miss O2 and their overpriced contracts.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
from what your saying, it seems that contract O2 performs much better than PAYG O2, I guess this is poissible as contract phones use the apn mobile.o2.co.uk and PAYG is payandgo.o2.co.uk, this would allow them to split their service ? if any peeps on here are on contract O2 please post your speedtest results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyGeko:
im having a chat with o2 right now heres part of the conversation as im looking to get the sgs2 with them

You: sorry thats allowance i get allowances i work for talktalk broadband, what im looking for is download speeds

Shelley: Speeds of up to 21Mb per second.

Shelley: That better?

You: that hsdpa+?

Shelley: HSDPA. not +

Shelley: Would you like a link for all of the information you need?

You: yeh thanks, is that available on the mobile phone side? i know the dongles are faster, i know the sgs2 can support higher speeds but as far as i knew most networks actual speeds were upto 10meg, with only voda uk trialing 14meg later in the year, can you tell what speeds id get in my cell location

You: 3 tell me i can get 4meg

Shelley: Let me check for you.

Shelley: What i can make you aware is at the moment O2 is trialing a 4G network up and down the country, with estimated speeds of over 30MB/s. So you can expect massive speeds through this handset.

Shelley: How does that sound for you?

You: yeh wow thats cool

Shelley: Excellent!

theyre erecting a new mast near me yay lol - o2 = 4g = jizz lol :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyGeko:
lol gota love o2 chat ...... this is hilarious

Shelley: Are you not thinking of getting this today and getting rid if Orange?

Shelley: They are not very good as a provider, they ripped me off. And i am not just saying that because i work for 02, i do not like them at all!

You: yes ive had enough with orange to be honest, too many dropped calls and incorrect bills, they gave me a gesture of goodwill of £50 a month or 2 back because the kept incorrectly billing me

Shelley: They broke their contract with me and wouldn't help me with a broken handset,

Shelley: Yes, same with me and over charging and i got a lot of bank charges which weren't in my account and so i was getting charges left right and centre for a handset i couldn't even use! So i told them to stick it!

You: not good, lol hahaha

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deanoaka:
Wow... o2 testing 4G networks....

That's complete bulls**t. The 4G infrastructure isn't even in place, the auction for that space hasn't took place yet and none of this can really happen till the country completely switches from analogue to digital as they are re-using and recycling old pieces of equipment.

What's your reason for this? I've been with t-mob for 18 months now and they're brilliant. I have a 3gb allowance and even when I go over it I don't get charged! Ok i might not get 4mbps, but whats the point in high speeds when you only get 0.5-1gb usage?

i would have loved to stayed with giff gaff but o2's network is pretty rubbish around my area. just ordered three's 'ayce' data sim since they give very consistent high speed data compared to other network here.

how is three's network around bath?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
There is a thread on here somewhere, t-mobile have admitted to restricting customers to 300kbps unless customers complain. I'm currently on 3 getting 3 ish mbps with truly no limit on data download.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
This is excellent news for o2 / giff gaff customers, as it means the network has potential, maybe o2 need to focus on consistency, it seems to be a bit of a lottery postcode.

O2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Really does depend, stock o2 is good in my area, out and about generally in London.

GiffGaff once they started charging for data went completely downhill virtually unusable! Now they have removed that until the end of the month and I went back to GG and those were the results I got BIG improvement, they hope to fix their issues by June 1st god knows how the speeds will be like then but for now it's working around my area!

Took 6 tests today:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh2311:
I am on giffgaff and the speeds are great for me, signal in my area is mixed. At home i get 2g only, so obviously its poor, but 3 don't offer 2g, so i cant send a text. Orange have worse signal (pre t-mobile merger) and not tried voda.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
what part of London out of interest, I am west london and get 0.5 mbps with full hsdpa.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
Biggest problem with all these tests are they vary too highly depending on location, call population etc.

I live in Essex, and work in London.

the service varies highly depending on just where i am.

At my GF house the signal is a solid 4 bars, and a download of 4meg, Go home it's floating around 3meg, I head up london and it's hit 5meg before, yet another part of london on 4 bars it's only 2.5meg. you can never tell who is using the cell your in, nor there demand meaning while this test is good for the OP it will be useless for most others on here.

Example on YouTube there are some videos showing Vodafone rules the roost for downloading in London, however my friend has a Vodafone desire, and at my GFs place on 3/4 bars could barely manage 1meg. Which in my situation is worse off than O2, however someone else might find Vodafone better. The factors involved make it far too troublesome to work out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
As I posted on another thread:

'I spoke to T-Mobile yesterday. The lady I spoke too, her call centre manager and the top man off the forums whom she spoke to on the phone all advised me that there are no speed caps whatsoever. Whether you buy from T-Mobile or a 3rd party, there are NO speed caps, only usage caps of 500MB.'.

I told her about all the posts I've seen on the T-Mobile forums but she flat out denied any speed caps!

I just wish 3 did 18m contracts!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
I already replied to your other thread about this, regarding contract length have you considered doing what I did, namely buy the phone outright, and then get a 3 payg sim for ultimate freedom.

£15 = 300 minutes 3000 Texts and truly unlimited data. 3mbps speed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Are you getting 3Mbps though I read that they also place a cap but the normal mobile broadband ones are full speed.

Swyped from my Desire HD using XDA App
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Full speed on 3 is supposed to be 7mbps, and yes everywhere I have tried it (London and Devon) I have had a genuine 3mbps, don't forget 3 and vodafone do not filter your internet like t mobile and o2, so even iplayer works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looneer:
I am sorry about reviving an old thread but I am thinking of taking a contract on Talk Mobile with unlimited internet (uses Vodafone network) and it sounds like a smashing deal. You get the best network AND best speeds. At uni I don't get reception in the library but I can live with that!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabotsonline:

Hi all,

I wanted to buy a cover for my phone... Oddly enough, the latest release of the phone has the biggest variet of covers (HTC Arrive). So I bought one assuming everything would be the same (bar the larger sd card which is of no relevance to the case).

Found out the hard way that the camera and flash position are centred. And the mini usb slot is at the very bottom, not a bit higher.

Anyone have any ideas why they would move things?

Curious if there are any other differences...
[HTC 7 Pro] .mak:
The radio in the Pro7 is different than the Arrive. It's possible that the shape/size was different and so they needed to re-arrange other things to position it properly?
