Lol I live by Plantation too and the most I get is 15 mb down too. Towers here suck. I went to 441 and Broward one time and I got 25+ down.
[Nexus 4 General] sshark:
Responding to OP...

I am sure this has been said before in this thread ...

It is likely not radios that you are using but the network congestion is the single most biggest factor.

Think of how many users you have with 4G phones - with Tmobile - with LTE - who are also hogging bandwidth - at the same time of this test....COMPARED TO let's say Houston or Dallas.

It is just probabilities and numbers game and available bandwidth with some differences in how radios have been designed.

Nonetheless, speeds are quite impressive !!

Hi I recently bought a nexus 4 and have some questions regarding lte. Do I need to be root to activate it and if I do what kinda signal strengths should I expect? Is there anything else I should know about?
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Yes u need root and custom recovery to flash and signal speeds all depend on your area you live in. For example in my area I was only seeing up to 9mbps on average and then it recently jumped up to 20

please help ..

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus I had an error on loading time, several times I flash back with the help of software ODIN 1.85 successfully and no error (is tens of times my flash is not an error), but when I want to turn back an error and stops the writing "SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 7.0 PLUS" did not want to go to the SAMSUNG logo,

I also never go into recovery mode and do a wipe cache and factory reset does not work and there is an error and I immediately restart automatic tablet and back again to the words "SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 7.0 PLUS"

Please enlightenment .. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
I have found out that some phones are slow because of a bug in Android 4.2. I have a way to determine if you have the bug.

1. Download Androbench: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromeda.androbench2

2. Execute the test (just press on test all)

3. Is the "random write" speed under 2 MB/s? Then you have the bug.

A possible solution for it is (it is a solution for the Nexus 7 but since it is the same bug it may or may not work on the Galaxy Nexus):

1. Fill up the storage completely

2. Format it

It could be fixed. Let me know if it works.

My random write speed is 0.2 MB/s whether I use the lagfix or not. Running PA 3.65 and AK SKL256. This is pathetic.. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1n0m3n:
0.16MB/s before "lagfix", 0.16MB/s after "lagfix".

Edit: I will try the OP's fix later tonight when I get home.

Edit2: By "lagfix" I meant "Lagfix Free" the fstrim implementation on Android mentioned by DJxSpeedy above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrotherCheese:
I thought this issue was due to flash degredation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
I have issues with my gnex. Keeps freezing and turning off whenever I do anything really. Gets quite hot as well.

Tried 2 resets and it gets better but comes back again shortly.

Sending it to Samsung for warranty fix.

The nexus 7 does lag and slowdown at times. But a reboot usually solves it. That or freeing up space. I got about 6 gigs free now from the 32GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comp625:
I was getting Random Write speeds of 0.17 MB/sec through AndroBench. I just tried LagFix right now and it did NOT fix it for me. Post-LagFix, AndroBench reported 0.15 MB/sec. No wonder my phone has been insanely slow. Sigh... :rolleyes:

Mine gets realy hot, too. Even if I underclock the phone's CPU and GPU, it still gets hot around the top half of the phone (both sides).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
With dynamic fsync enabled in Trickster Mod my random write jumps from 0.2 MB/s to an astonishing 290.14 MB/s. Not sure if these are erroneous due to caching or not. But, that is a significant increase.

Edit: With dynamic fsync enabled I have seen significant increases throughout the benchmark.. Any ideas on why this is occurring?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comp625:
I'm not an expert in that area, but I have to wonder if there is caching going on. That number seems too good to be true. However, if true, that is an awesome number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Yeah, don't trust it as it doesn't really speed up your storage. Any fsync off/dynamic fsync on benchmarks can be disclaimed as not being real speeds. Both these features disable the fsync function to maintain filesystem integrity. Dynamic fsync actually enables fsync when the screen is on and disables it when the screen is off.

About the OP's report. 2MB/s is amazing for random writes at Androbench's default 4KB. I barely get that on my HTC One which has a faster emmc chip in it in the Galaxy Nexus. 0.2MB/s is more common for the Galaxy Nexus so 0.15 is actually not that far off. There is a whole thread dedicated to fstrim and the lag issue and it mentions lagfix is more detail. 2MB/s is impossible with Androbench's default settings so I don't think slow random write speeds are the only reason for Android 4.2.2 lag. I actually looked into that thread in December and some testing and research concluded that the I/O isn't the only reason and a fresh install won't improve it that much unless you have the emmc performance bug where it slows down a lot when the storage fills up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
I think you have your description of dynamic fsync reversed. When the screen is off, fsync is on. Screen on, fsync off. I think Trickstermod describes it as when enabled and screen on, fsync operation is asynchronous, screen off it is commited synchronously. But I may be wrong, you are a great kernel developer so you know you're stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1n0m3n:
I do agree with this. I only get 0.16MB/s and my phone is as snappy as ever. The only time I notice slowdowns are with app updates (way slower than my wife's Galaxy S3) and backups (again the S3 is way faster). Which, to me, is indicative of slow media. I am always on the latest CM stable. (10.1.2 as I write this.) I use no other mods at this time.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

As I posted the previous post. I did remember that if I let apps run default my Nexus bogs like crazy. Much more so than the S3. I use Greenify (I previously used Autostarts) to keep this in check.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kisrita:
I just ran this test on my Galaxy Note 8 running stock rooted Android 4.1.2. And got a result of 1.42mb/s random write. So there seems to be more to this than Android 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
That's what i said. Dynamic fsync disables fsync - off - with the screen on and enables it - on - once the screen is on. The regular fsync is a manual toggle.

Dynamic fsync from faux is off by default in my kernel so fsync would function normally with this off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
ahh, got ya.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Is this ok with the default settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electro`:
Actually, the HTC One has also been known to have this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Well I got higher than 2 MB/s so I thought that a speed below that would couse the lag. Apparantly I am wrong. I have read it somewhere but it seems theyre wrong. At random write I het around 200 MB/s and random read around 10 MB/s.

But it jumps to a crazy 230+ when dynamic fsync in on. :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
The random writes you're reporting are not real write speeds and only due to fsync bring off. Better io is a good thing if it's real improvements and not due to a fsync hack. Yes I have it in my kernel but I know writes in benchmarks aren't a good sign of hardware performance with it enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Source? In comparison it's still faster than gnex and random io is mostly related to databases and not regular reads and writes.

My phone still works fine like i can access it and everything and technically my phone is not rooted yet (according to root checker). I don't know what to do! Please help! I want to root my phone but not damage it.

It tells you in the end note of CASUAL to install any VRALJB ROM so if you can't get it working reflash your stock ROM in Odin. It would be easier for you to just use the latest version of CASUAL, I believe its No You Verizon.

Also DO NOT MAKE TWO POSTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. You have 2 recent, in the past day they were both posted, threads going now and that is a problem.

With the phone powered off boot into recovery volume up+home+power wipe cache doesn't always work but typically has for me.

Otherwise so a factory reset from recovery you will lose settings and downloaded apps

Hi

Was wondering of this is safe before doing it

Temp unrooting in su. Rebooting the phone ticking survival mode in su to keep root

Check for ota updates (I assume my status would be back to offical)

Do ota, disable temp unroot

Would this work? More concerned if any of those steps would leave me bricked please

Advice greatly received

Thank you

No use even if u used triangle away and used the temporary unroot on boot option u will only be able to check for ota but not actually updating it will give u an error

the reflashing doesnt wipe ur data and is quick

I know our phones Hardware is exactly the same as the att note so my question is.. If it's identical hardware wise and with tmobile now has LTE wouldn't our phone be able to access the LTE? I'm on 10.1 and there is an apn that says tmobile LTE and I selected that. and in preferred network I put it on LTE/GSM/WCDMA... and the data all works and it does seem to be faster. I did a speed test and got 5 mpbs. I usually get 3-4....maybe I got partial LTE?? any expert advice is embraced! Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] fraughtsigewulf:
I think you have to patch the radio to get it and even then, your battery takes a hit. I get a constant 10mbps down here in Los Angeles using the stock radio on HSPA+. If you are just changing your APN settings without patching, I'm not sure you are getting anything from LTE, especially if it's only 5 mbps.

Hello,

flashed rom, all worked ok, deleted installation zip. After that accidentaly in recovery wiped data and now im without rom and unfortunately no sdcard near.

Tried in recovery to:

- mount USB storage - no error, just nothing happened

- mount /sdcard - no error, just nothing happened

Using philz touch 5 recovery (6.0.3.1)

Edit: forgot to mention that i was on 4.2.2 rom, so all my data is in 0 folder

Is there any way to transfer rom to interial storage from recovery or my only way is to flash stock trough odin and than flash again custom rom?

[Hardware Hacking General] add.thebad:
I have an idea for a project that requires a large panel to be attached to a small phone, does any one know if this is possible.

I know from previous projects that the galaxy line phones seem to have similar cables and connectors but , for example, could I plug a note screen into a GS2? I know the ribbons wont be in the right place and it will be bodged together but that isn't important. What is important is will they physically connect??

My hardware knowledge is good but by software side not so good. I know that android is capable of adapting to different resolutions but will this work "out the box" or will the resolution need changing in the build,prop, or maybe more??

any ideas on this please share, I think this is quite an exciting project that I will share and colabarate with if it is feasable. Its still at the rough concept stage at the moment and I am just checking out the theory behind it so please share your knolage and experience
[Hardware Hacking General] yevar:
Possible, but not easy

It is feasible, lots of screens use similar interfaces (parallel TTL, MIPI, LVDS, etc.) so the trick is finding a display with the same interface as your phone already has. You will then need to make a board to adapt from the flex cable you have to the flex cable on your new screen. On that board you will probably also need to provide power since the new screen will consume more power. You will then need to modify the kernel, bootloader and Android to set the correct timing and resolution. (Timing, pinout and resolution for Linux kernel and U-Boot and resolution and DPI for Android) Shoot me a PM, I do this kind of stuff as a consultant and I am happy to give you some pointers!
