My gf just got a vivid, I changed her apn to the same I use on my gs2. But on both the speedtest app n speakeasy the vivid consistently hits 10mbps while my gs2 barely hits 6mbps. Both right next to each other in nyc. Why the large discrepancy between phones? Running same apns n hspa network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david717:
I'm just guessing, but NYC probably has LTE coverage so your GFs phone will have faster speeds in those areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mawells787:
There's no LTE in nyc. The phone shows if it was connected to LTE. I
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] termleech:
Are you running stock or a custom rom? IIRC at&t is known to limit their devices from full speeds. They have likely done this to make the skyrocket look faster even in non lte areas. I remember reading about this a while ago on other devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cheetablaze:
My atrix 2 was about 30% faster with downloads as well. It said 4g all the time but ATT lies, H+ I reckon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Yes may be very true, I was once told that at&t had the mechanism that could regulate particular type of phones' data speed based on region,time of the day,etc and could speed up/ down such as apps /email/ movie download/live stream,etc. I guess every carrier does so to keep these things under control. I tested iphone 4s and ASGS2 on HSPA+, the iphone 4s was faster on data and had good call quality compared to ASGS2. Because critics out there keep comparing verizon's iphone speed and at&t's iphone speed to write reviews, the carrier is forced to keep up the reputation of certain devices for certain time as it's a big selling point!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] onthezone:
Our plans for hspa+ are regulated and lte plans aren't regulated for speed.

Here is a good way to test, put her sim card in your phone and see the speeds you get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
I've never changed the APN on my phone...would I get better speeds doing so? Im in Detroit and usually don't get above 1.5mbps down and 1.5mbps up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
for me HSPA+ is just a scam,,, I upgrade to the SGS2 from a Captivate SGS1, and I getting the same speedtest results that I was getting with the Captivate.

I live in DFW area so AT&T is pretty good here... with the Captivate I was getting an average of 3.9mbps Down and 1.5 mbps (it was provisioned with the iPhone Unlimited Data Plan), with the SGS2 (Provisioned with Smartphone Unlimited Data Plan) I'm getting an average of 4.1mbps down and 1.5 mbps. basically the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RexEscape:
Switch SIM cards and see if you still get the same results. Let us know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mawells787:
Ok guys! Switched sim cards, the gs2 with the vivid sim card still same speeds 6mbps. But if I put my gs2 sim card on the vivid it still hits well above 6mbps between 9-10mbps. Unless I have a bad phone i think the gs2 is the problem. I'm running unnamed 1.3 and the htc vivid is stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
I'd say go get the Vivid or skyrocket if you want faster speeds. Anything HSPA will probably be slower than an LTE phone regardless of what we think we know. I had a skyrocket with faster speeds and never noticed it because the device itself was SLOWER than the GSII, I'm sure the Vivid is even worse than the skyrocket. Anyway its probably not a bad phone or a fluke its probably just the way the AT&T network is. I have an LTE Verizon work phone and get 33 to 40mb down and 8 to 10mb up and still use my GSII because the device is faster and renders pages faster than my super fast internet on my crappy verizon phone (droid charge)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
if I were getting 6mbps with my SGS2 I'll be extremely happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Seriously, if I ever hit 2mbps, I'll **** bricks. I measure my speeds in kilobytes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
Same here bud. Same here. Just the other day after almost 6 weeks of having my ASGS2 I go the fastest speed yet at 4200. Normally I'm hovering around 2000. What I have learned tho is that the speedtest app can be decieving. If I'm on the Frankfurt, IN server, I don't get above 600 ever. Swap to Arora, IL and I'm back up in the 2k range.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RexEscape:
I don't get these speed tests. I'm in San Diego and when I use a server in San Diego, I get speeds between 2-3Mbps. If I change servers in the Tools section, Los Angeles, CA for example, I get 5Mbps. So, what does that really mean when I'm downloading apps, watching Netflix or just surfing the web on my SGS2? What is my real speed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Nobody knows for sure if the speedtest app really works or not. I usually go to my browser and hit the speedtest there.

Also, if your phone downloadds fast (regardless of a number), then be happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RexEscape:
Yup. I'm happy. I'm even happier that my SGS2 is so much faster than my Cappy (sold for $150). Love it. I was watching a streaming NFL game. It was streaming at a very good rate, clear, not so pixelated -- you can see the score and the small graphics. Thanks to good ol' unlimited data. Just don't go over the limit and get throttled, right? That's for another thread.

If i insert my sim card in another mobile it works!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnaurittiello:
I got this trouble twice, whit CM7 and CM7.1.

Did you used power widget control to switch between 2G/3G on CM7? I did, and twice, the network gone k.o. Yesterday that happened again, and after a little bit of swearing, I tried a cache/dalvik wipe and a permissions fix, and now it seem to be ok. Of course, I'll never use that damned widget again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrhp:
Yes i used it.

But unfortunately with cache/dalvik wipe but the device is still stuck! :mad:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnaurittiello:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrhp:
Yes it asks me for the pin code.

I tried to switch 2g/3g and airplane mode on/off but nothing change.

If i tried to scan for the available carrier it shows me my carrier but i can not catch it.

In the notification bar appears the network indicator without the X (when you run the phone without sim) so it's like it knows that there is a network but it can't catch it!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnaurittiello:
It's strange..

You can try flashing last OTA update (2.3.6, GRK39F build, KA3 bootloader, KF1 radio) through CWM:

1) Install CMW using fastboot

2) Reboot into recovery

3) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache and format System (mounts and storage=>format /system)

4) Install OTA update from SD

PS. I think you have i9020T or i9023, so that OTA will be fine. Instead, if you have i9020A, dowlonad this package .

PPS. I don't think it would make any difference, but I suggest you to remove SIM before flashing.

You can dissable the notifications by editing your /system/build.prop file. Look for:

and change the 0 to a 1. If you dont see that line add it somewhere in the file.

It should have worked, you may need to clear the cache partition. Or there is another method go to /etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
Like what was said above...

If you have Clockwork or some other custom recovery, if you just allow it to update when prompted, it will not install and will cause no other problems. You must have the stock recovery in order for the update to install.

It CANNOT install if you don't have the stock recovery.

But, I would also go into the /cache directory and find the update file and zap it (It will be obvious). I just use ADB and "rm" it from my PC. You could use root explorer or something. Otherwise you will have a big update file just sitting there and hogging space.

I may be doing something wrong here, can someone break it down for me? suggestions?

NOTE: I use CWMR 5X. Some wipe options below are not included in earlier recovery versions. Still wipe what is available the best you can.

1. Put the Rom on the root of your SD Card

2. Compare MD5 Sum

Windows: MD5 Calculator

LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]

Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]

3. Reboot to Recovery

4. Wipe these:

Main Screen:

wipe data/factory reset - x2

wipe cache partition - x2

Advanced:

Wipe Dalvik Cache - x3

Wipe Battery Stats - optional

Mounts and Storage:

Format-

/boot - x2

/system - x2

/datadata - x2

/data - x2

/cache - x2

5. Install Rom from SD Card by going back and selecting install from SD card.

6. Reboot and enjoy!
