[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] voxigenboy:
for the hell of it i just did a speedtest on my Inc2 and these were the results:

Ping - 219ms

Download Speed - 0.29 Mbps

Upload Speed - 0.26 Mbps

my phone is currently showing 3 bars.

when i had the Thunderbolt it was showing like 7 Mbps DL & 2 Mbps UL in this area(without 4G).

does anyone else have crap speeds to?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dustinbullard:
You are comparing a 3G phone (Inc2) to a 4G phone (Thunderbolt)... Ofcourse its going to be slower...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
he said without 4G... should be the same.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I find it highly suspect that a 3G connection was generating 7mbit. The maximum burst rate (meaning: not streaming rate) is 3mbit for EVDO Rev.A. Both the Thunderbolt and the Incredible 2 have 3G radios using Rev.A, not Rev.B.

I've noticed sometimes the connectivity indicator has a delayed update and I can be connected to 3G before the icon changes from 1x to 3G coming out of the parking garage at my office (I can tell because streams that don't work on 1x would start up fine).

I've been able to get over 1mbit consistently on my Inc2, and have been able to exceed 2mbit in some areas.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
yea... mine has been annoying me too. I always seem to get a higher upload than I do download speed.

This is after 4 tries back to back, all of them upload speed was higher.

Houston, Tx by the way

Even though Tmobile sucks when it comes to coverage area, I kind of miss the 3g speeds I had with them. My Vibrant would hit 5 mbps constantly
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jdemerol:
Just used the same SpeedTest.net app, after three back to back tries:

Down: 1742, 1192, 1894 kbps

Up: 589, 675, 543 kbps

Ping: 185, 140, 220 ms

Full bars in northern NJ
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Full bars

signal around -71 dBm

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
what rom are you on?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Stock rooted Gingersense, I took a screenshot back at my desk where I have no bars but was outside when I ran the test.

Had full bars and i'm on the new radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Yianaki:
You need to turn on Roaming I know it doesn't make any sense

Wireless & Networks - Mobile Networks - Data Roaming Checked & CDMA Options - SYS select automatic. There I bet it's fixed.

I live in Philly across from a major hospital with thousands of people inside.

I have 3 bars at my house usually. When I first got my OG Droid it was faster than my DSL at 2200k. Then after I guess more people got smartphones it got slower and slower.

I was getting max 200k oftentimes 80k at my house since Fall '10. At work it is much better around 1200k stable but at 5pm at work used to kick me off the network. No biggie right I have wifi at home. Well it is a pain if you take a walk outside and there is a dead zone around your house.

So I decided to try a friends Sprint phone. SAME EXACT signal readings same speed. Got an Inc 2 finally I thought my droid was crap. Same thing with new phone.

Then I started trying everything. Turned on Roaming as noted above bingo!

I have a feeling Sprint / Verizon towers are used jointly? Like you need roaming for things to work properly in downtown philly. I don't know but I don't loose connection anymore whenever I have bars showing. Where in areas that there are a large number of people I had problems previously at peak hours. Now everything is stable now.

It doesn't make any sense to me at all. It is turned off by default on all phones?? But the difference is like night and day. I mean I know Verizon/Sprint share networks but that should only be in the boonies? I would love an answer. Just don't go overseas with that enabled.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lobo4806:
i am satisfied with my inc2 data speeds. i put my inc2 next to an evo 4g (running in 3g mode because there is no 4g in my area)...and the inc2 loaded all the websites i tested quicker than the evo.

the inc2 was showing 1 to 2 bars, the evo showing full bars... i would click on a link at the same time on both phones and inc2 won everytime.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
I average a MB up and down, zero complains. Running 2.3.3 (recent upgrade).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
I used to get atleast 1MB with 3+ bars on stock froyo before S-OFF, but after I installed CM7 Beta 1 I'm getting lower bars than I did before, is that happening with anyone else, or is it one of those things you just randomly notice?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Don't look st the bars. They are set to show so many based on signal and that changes from Rom to Rom (why a dx can show 4 bars but I have 2) go to settings about phone and look at your signal strength.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] voxigenboy:
if I enable roaming though it gives me a warning about extra charges. is that true?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
well yes, if you're roaming.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Yianaki:
Verizon has a roaming agreement with sprint. I think it would only come into play overseas. In Europe that setting could get you in to trouble.

Had Roaming on from NY to SC not a peep from Verizon billing.

It's much faster right less data drops too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
It's true
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It is often the case that providers will share towers. Many communities hate the sight of towers in their area (they're ugly...yes, this really does happen) so they are forced to keep them to a minimum. They share towers but not necessarily radio equipment, so you may not be necessarily be running through Sprint on a Sprint tower.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Not terrible. Houston
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
I want to bring this post back from the dead.

Is there any chance everyone can run speedtests again?

I've been on multiple different ROMs ranging from stock, stock rooted, to sense 3.0/3.5

I have NEVER been able to get over .75 Mbps (700ish kbps) but for the most part i'm only getting between .2 and .3 Mbps

I've changed all of my roaming settings and they don't seem to make much of a difference. Sometimes when I turn roaming off i'll get better speeds? Doesn't make much sense.

I have a feeling my account has been setup incorrectly and it's just now getting to me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mastamoon:
With the antenna in the backs of our phone, maybe you need to swap backs? Maybe the contacts on yours are dirty or some of the conductive stuff is broken?

Mine seems very fast when in a good signal area.. but if I have even slightly worse signal strength, my speeds drop drastically. Its not LINEAR at all!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
My phone is pretty much brand new. I have probably only taken the back off a handful of times. I pulled it off again and the contacts look perfect. Cleaned it up with some alcohol just for grins and still the same thing.

What speeds are you getting??

even with my signal at -79 i'm still downloading around .2-.3 Mbps
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I assume that the time of day and location should factor into your mobile speeds. If you live in a big city and try downloading something during lunch hours (1100-1300) I think that your data will be a lot slower as opposed to downloading something at midnight or late in the morning. Try running your speed test late tonight and check the results. This has just been my experience though could be wrong

I don't see that happening for a while yet, at least a decade.

Folk wisdom in the 80s used to be that due to the versatility and power of personal computers, dedicated gaming consoles were dead after the '84 crash.

Look how well that turned out.

I see the dedicated handheld market slowly plodding along towards digital distribution, similar to computer and console gaming but the mechanics and process won't be the same.

Dedicated portable gaming market will die when battery technology is sufficient enough that spending any serious amount of time gaming on our cellphones, especially resource and network intensive games, won't require us to have a charger or spare battery nearby.
[Off-topic] webstar1:
Vita is a full fledged gaming device, and if they have fit in so much already into a small frame, and have throwed in 3g, why not a antenna? That would just make it a ultimate device (which my rom tries to achieve :p), just throw in fb and twitter and your all good. Then vita will own ALL the handheld market
[Off-topic] pudgybunnyBry:
I do agree that smart phones are quickly gaining ground on dedicated handheld gaming machines, but even as smart phone technology improves, so does technology behind dedicated gaming devices. The difference is that in order for smart phones to remain in competition with gaming devices, they need multiple hardware and software upgrades before the next handheld gaming generation releases. I'm not so sure the handheld gaming market will be phased out entirely.

I think once an elegant way to figure out how to add good analog controls to a phone is found the stand alone market will be further eroded. Xperia PLAY is a step in the right direction but is somewhat half-baked.

If the phone has 3G, an ATT sim card, and a microphone, then why do you all think some industrious developer won't just plug in the sim from one of his actual phone accounts and dev an app that allows you to make phone calls?

The Xperia play is NOT a PSP. It's basically an Android phone with a PSX emulator and a built in controller.

:rolleyes: And, erm no. The Vita is NOT an Android phone. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Because your current phone actually uses an SOC (System On Chip), which combines the processor, wifi and 3g into one single chip.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Would you all like me to tell you why not?

The PSVita is expected to have a 3 hours battery life, this is from Sony (I think I remembered that correctly anyway), This means adding an antenna to make it a phone would shorten it even more, and 3 hours is extremely short for a phone and completely useless, they can't add a bigger battery, It's already thick as it is, and nowadays people buy things on how 'thin' or how 'nice' they look

The PS Vita is possible use as Phone...
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
It's not? Is it? :confused:

It does however use antennas for 3G like a 3G iPad, so it would be possible to mod to work as phone, (Like done with iPad to text) but battery life would suck! (Even more)

[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Flash at your own Risk, I am not responsible for you breaking your device!

This is ONLY FOR THOSE USING A US WIFI XOOM THAT'S ROOTED ON 3.1 or 3.2 !!!

-There are now separate instructions for those coming from stock and those coming from Tiamat v1.1

This is the stock system that has already been deodexed. It now includes Tiamat's Kitana kernel (Stock GPU). For overclocking, just flash the 3.2 overclocked kernel after this rom

Enjoy!

To flash from stock rooted 3.1 (with any kernel):

1) Place on SD Card

- I did this by using root explorer

2) Make a NAND backup

3) Flash in CWR by going to install zip from sd card -> choose zip -> Deodexed32.zip -> Yes

To Flash from Tiamat 1.1

1) Place on SD Card, and reboot into recovery

2) Make a NAND Backup

3) Perform a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik)

4) Flash the rom and reboot.

The initial boot will take a minute...Be patient. If it gets to the boot animation, you should be good to go.

Changes:

v1.0 - Initial Release

v1.1 - Fixed Wifi Issue

v1.2 - Zipaligned

Known Issues:

Please report what you find so this can be updated.

NOTE: I did not wipe my system and did not experience any issues...IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, PERFORM A FULL WIPE!

Download:

Deodexed Rom v1.2

MD5: 453dd61d65c3a71f933cc7d88e75c18e

Deodexed Rom v.1.1

MD5: 875b4e600c48f4e13328d04fe744a98b

Patches: Use if you are already on v1.1

Deodexed and Zipaligned System

Credit:

Tiamat Team for their Kernel, excellent as always

Stachre for releasing the rooted update to 3.2...this is used in its entirety in this rom to bring those on 3.1 up to speed lol (this is why the file is a fat beast)

Update:

Several have reported that a wipe is necessary! If you have poor results the first time, please perform a full wipe and reflash before posting.

Also, had one person say that they had success flashing this on the Canadian Wifi Xoom, but I am not sure if that changed their system to the US system...not sure on the differences...

UPDATE

For those of you on a 3g XOOM who want to get in on the 3.2 action, it looks like bigdogrush has posted a patch for your devices that you can check out by going here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15787759&postcount=615

I have not used this and cannot verify that it works, but being that its from BigdogRush/ Team Tiamat, I am sure it'll work! If someone wants to try this and verify it working, that would be great.

ADD-ON!!!

For those of you who can't wait for a theme, this one is the HoneyBread theme that I have mostly brought up to 3.2...There are a couple things that I can't change until apktool is fixed, screenshots are attached to this post.

[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
3.2? I've been out of the game for a while. Does the tiamat kernel work on this bad boy?
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
No...but one fix is that the SD card works without it..

Any chance you can make a zip of the whole system partition?
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
I'll try, but no promises on that today...
[Xoom Android Development] electronicrice:

I'm going to be all over this once we get a oc kernel. Still happy you got a xoom dude :)
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
I've had one, just no reason to sec on it til I messed around on tiamats Rom and realized all I wanted out of it was the deodex part...it seemed to seriously affect my WiFi speeds.
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
By entire system partition, what are you all looking for? I just made one that contains all of the contents in the folder /system/ ...is that what you guys were talkin about earlier
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Fixed just deodexed.zip because it was not removing maps.odex from the system.

Posted a full system update.zip
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
Would the full system update be flashed through cwm as well or update.zip?
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
And can't full system update be installed over 3.1?
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Not without the kernel. But maybe if you fastbooted the kernel and booted straight into recovery, it may work...I'll work on getting the kernel in there too.
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Its the same thing...update.zip is just quicker than finding the zip on your sd card...you can take any rom and rename it update.zip and it will install right away...
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Right on man! I will post a link over there in the OP here!

Hi guys!

I'm on a French Xoom WIFI only running HC3.2 US official (HTJ85B using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166106 ).

Is it worthy to root and install this Tiamat rom in 3.2 with Tiamat Katana 2.0 kernel?

Thanks a lot.
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Are you.talking.about.this.rom? I.ask this one isn't affiliated with the tiamat team... It's just me over here lol...
[Xoom Android Development] Akik:
Oh no it's ok dude! I just want to know if it's worthy to root my Xoom, install any custom rom + custom kernel (like tiamat 2.0 for example) :)

Will I gain smoother/faster UI, better battery life etc like when I flash my phone?

Is a custom rom for Xoom better than stock rom like on any phone?

Thanks :)
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
In my opinion, its always worth it. This one gives a smoother UI experience when coupled with the tiamat rom. The full 1.2 would root your device, deodedlx and zipalign(optimize) your system, and give you tiamat 2.0.0 kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
Honestly, I think that this ROM seemed a bit less smooth than the 3.1 based Tiamat. I know that quadrant is just a benchmark, but when both are overclocked to the same value, my Quadrant score dropped from about 4000 to jus over 2000. The older ROM seems smoother to me when flipping between homescreens too.

Just my opinion, though...
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
I would wait for the kernel from tiamat which is supposed to be coming soon. Quandrant scores don't mean much but the ROM itself doesn't impact quadrant much, the kernel does, the same goes for smoothness, to an extent. 3.2 is still very new.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
Good point - it could very well be the kernel. Like I said - the Quadrant scores are an artificial benchmark, but the "feel" of the speed was noticeable to me.

I will certainly be trying the new 3.2 when it does come out!
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
You guys realize that this rom includes the lastest Tiamat kernel "Katana", correct?

The reason why you are seeing such a drop in quadrant scores is because of the file system tweaks in the ramdisk, which we havent yet released. These will be included in the Rom 2.0 release.
[Xoom Android Development] fwempa:
Downloading now.... One final check though, if you don't mind. I am running stock 3.2 unlocked and rooted, CWM 3.2. I can flash this.... right?

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] dhemke17:
Edit...nevermind, you should.be able to use the patch just fine.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Nice job

I downloaded and flashed version 1.2 of your Rom, added the OC Katana kernal and the ad hoc zip file for wifi connectivity. No wipe at all using clockwork mod. :)

This was flashed over the odexed version of 3.2 running the same kernal and zip file combo as before. So far, so good, running somooth as silk at 1504 gHz. Heavy office usage with citrix and Word, all day long.:cool:

BTW, do you know of an add-oon that I can use to access my Netflics account? Also, google vids does not seem to allow movies to download on rooted Xoom's . Any one know of a reliable workeound.:confused:

Thanks,
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
Solarnz:

What I have noticed is that the graphics seemed slower. (I don't have the broken down scores from the Quadrant tests, but just observing the differences in framerates gave me the impression that the graphics speed was faster in the 3.1 tiamat rom - and I the real world performance seemed to beck this up in my experience.)

Are there any changes coming that would make a difference in the graphics performance? Does the file system tweak in the ramdisk make any difference for graphics performance?

Thanks for the feedback!

Jeff
[Xoom Android Development] fwempa:
yeehaw... just flashed this ROM, then Katana 2.0 OC kernel. It might be my imagination, but this thing feels like it is screamin' fast.

Works great coming from stock 3.2. Thanks for your work.

Which app do you use for overclocking?
