Anyone seen or have a explanation why when testing hspa or lte on full bars with a speedtest app scoring 15-25mbps dload. ..just doesnt reflect the same when you actually try and dload a file.

My note 2 on full bars lte or hspa+

Wants to dload roms right here off xda at measly kbps ...Yet speedtest show anywhere from 15-25mbps.

These real time dload speeds and actuall speedtest scores arent coinciding with each other.

Ive also seen this on other Android phones on tmobile Network.

Ive optimized the ram cleared cache did reboots fixed permissions tried anything possible. .. still kbps dload on 4ghspa
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abcdefg1234567:
Infact it takes 45min to dload a 1.08gb rom on here right from posted links or mirrors at 228-400kbps wether on wifi or lte full bars
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] big gulps huh?:
Partly because the sites you are downloading from don't allow the speed to get that high. Download a torrent using an app and see how high it gets.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abcdefg1234567:
Can u explain im confused... if I have a specific rom and using the xda links to dload... your saying the links the devs post limit the actual dload speeds?

And where or how do I go about finding a torrent for the roms... ive never messed with torrents. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abcdefg1234567:
So I just dloaded utorrent off market tried adding http://d-h.st/CLW which is the url link to the rom

I hit + button to add says failed to add url
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ionic7:
Speedtrst is for y esting speed the server lets it go as fas as it can, servers for downloads from website generally cap round 1 mbps down some a much slower. Average torrents dl at bps unless you have a premium torrent account, thpugh I have seen 2mbps from a few recently.

TL:DR dont expect full dl speed from websites they dont have it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
Correct! Think of it this way, your phone or PC is like a bucket, you can fill it up very fast from a fire hydrant (that is your actual download speed), ,but when you go to another site, it will try to fill the bucket with only a few drops per second. Get my drift?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lojak29:
Then evidently all any carriers lte speeds are usefull for is simply opening a browser fast ..or downloading apps.

We get shafted when pulling data from a 3rd party server. ..

These lte speeds we buy into with these big name carriers is simply useless as far as utilizing the lte capability in all aspects that should include servers allowing us to dload upload as fast as the bandwith is capable or and allows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I can't complain about the carriers providing me speedy LTE service as agreed to simply because I choose to visit servers who can't or won't provide data downloads that take advantage of the available speeds.

If I choose to use a speedy download server instead of a slow poke one I will be able to enjoy the difference.

I fail to see how the carriers are at fault for the decisions of their users and third party server providers.

A fire hose (carrier) might be able to allow 300 gallons per minute to pass through it but if the fire hydrant (content server) only pushes 100 gallons per minute it's hard to be disappointed in the hose.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supamas:
There might also be a huge difference between the information being fed to you. Check again if the download speeds are Mb/s or MB/s because I believe speed test will tell you the bits per second. The capital B means bytes. There are 8 bits in one byte. If it says Mb/s then divide by 8 to get megabytes for a correct comparison.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] IAmSixNine:
Some people are never happy.

OH wait, I am. My TMO LTE speeds are great. and i dont get mad when the sending server is slow..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] soumaine:
Have the same issue! They're throttling it and its messed up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] IAmSixNine:
Care to elaborate on that statement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] soumaine:
Try downloading a file large than 250mbs don't matter if it's from then play store or a trusted source and you'll see what am talking about..or click on this link

Slow Download Speeds on T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GRZLA:
Speed tests are a joke and you shouldn't take them to heart in the least. Also they measure your speed in megabits instead of mwgabytes because isps sell internet packages in mbits range. You don't understand the difference between the two. I suggest you Google the difference and you'll get a better understanding. Bytes and bits are like grams and kilograms or meters or millimeters. One is bigger than the other and they are not the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mnementh666:
But you can make it show KB/s.

It's more about the server hosting the file and their bandwidth.

Speedtest is more about showing the maximized available speed you COULD get, rather than about what your file download speed is going to be.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nbetcher:
This happens with practically every service. Hell, even Comcast does that to me if they deem it to be a torrent (most companies use torrents to distribute the game and if Comcast hasn't added that IP to their allowed list it gets nerfed). If I exceed my monthly quota with Comcast they'll let you use Speedtest and it'll show 20mbps, but if you download a file it will go fast at first, then go down to 100KB/sec.

Tis the future: unneutral internet which the corporately-sponsored new FCC chairman is pushing for. Get used to lack of net neutrality or write your congress(man/woman).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I look at it differently... Considering that I'm not the only person in this world, of nearly 7 billion, that may be trying to access a server for a various file (in which that server could be used for multiple files/uses) at any given second.

In essence, no matter how big the server (movies/music/TV shows) or small (some random phone hacker has allotted space on his home/work server to a dev to mirror his files for a few hundred/thousand people), it is all relative...

The big servers have millions of people trying to access files at any given moment which can equal way more than even a mbps per downloader while small servers just don't have the capacity to accommodate even a few dozen downloaders at that rate without issues.

It all needs to be taken at face value and that is why those that pay, and fork the server bill, get faster access... not saying this is how it should be, or even the best way for big or small servers to go about it... but it is what we have now.

If big servers could pre-queue TV episodes, Movies, Music/etc somehow, it could free up server activity for live events (whether that be anything from sporting events, to a new release of our favorite custom rom, etc) it might allow mid-to-small size servers the ability to gain extra resources (at a cheaper cost)... plenty of ways to better the situation to allow our devices to reach the potential that has already been integrated in the devices we currently use

[HTC One S] phoenixita:
does sd card works? How have you managed making it bootable? i have a slimkat build on my ubuntu tht is stuck at bootanimation...
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Was anyone able to flash it? I got an error during flashing about some files that could not be found located on sdcard. Using TWRP 2.6.3.0. Is there a certain recovery needed for flashing?
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
see on my 4.4 beanstalk thread.
[HTC One S] Co5min:
Using TWRP 2.3.3.0 and it fails to flash the ROM.
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
you have to use cwm 6.0.4.4! Have you flashed any other 4.4 roms on twrp ?
[HTC One S] yooouuri:
Flash CWM 6.0.4.4

https://mega.co.nz/#!httj2bRS!UfJEIU...7V6YrjU7ySfKNg
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I don't get past the HTC screen. Back to backup :(
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
Come back to Bs lol
[HTC One S] yooouuri:
Wipe your system, data, dalvik and cache, flash the ROM, again wipe the sh*t and flash the ROM. Fastboot the kernel. I was S-OFF and it worked.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I did :D That's my backup ...

[MENTION=4832238]yooouuri[/MENTION], I'l try this later maybe...now we have to flash it 3x not only wipe 3x? LOL ...things are improving with every Android version. Hope we don't reach Android 10.10 and have to wipe&flash 10 times...:laugh:
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
Started?

Sorry, I haven't more my ville. Anyway I found an error and I'm workin' on to fix it...:silly:

Be more precise in your first about he recovery to use (CMW 6.0.4.4) and about bugs (SD card or not and as it's one of the KK ROM there must be some bugs)

Thanks

[HTC One S] PippoX3:
For the moment I'm trying to fix the non-boot issue. Seems this merged commit will do.

And I have a new build ready to try: (OP Updated) Slim-ville-4.4.alpha.1.1-UNOFFICIAL-20131114-1818.zip

If neither this one will boot, then I will change parameters for use it only with HBOOT 2.16. Which introduce new resized partitions.

Try this one first. Thanks.
[HTC One S] ferreinf:
Will try it ASAP, i do think 2.16 would be better, we would gain more sdcard space for media
[HTC One S] striped121:
new build doesnt work. stuck at splash.
[HTC One S] ferreinf:
Still nothing stuck on splash, used cwm 6.0.4.4, flashed boot using fastboot then all wipes, flashed rom, back to bootloader flashed again boot.img and nothing still stucked at bootscreen :S

My phone is S-OFF

maybe u can share a 2.16 compatible rom i don´t mind trying :)
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
I would also prefer a 2.16 base for this if its possible. It would make it much easier switching between AOSP and the new sense ROMs out there with the new partition layout.

Thanks for all your work.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I would also prefer a 2.16 AOSP ROM, at the moment we are limited to just Sense 4.2 ROMs (Maximus and Magio nfr).. It's a huge hassle to downgrade.

Many thanks.
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
You're right. If the main part of HOS's users has already 2.16. Why not try? ;)

Building for HBOOT 2.16........ se u later.
[HTC One S] melo563:
Personally I am still on 2.15 couldn't s off and all. There are still a bunch of us who didn't upgrade.
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
I know... but it didn't works. Sorry.
[HTC One S] melo563:
No problem boss there is another cm11 ROM that boots and SD card works so I will give that a try when it is a little more stable thanks for hard work none the less. ♊?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Most of the CM ROMs are for 2.15 anyway, there are a couple of 2.15 4.4 ROMs in active development as well. No 2.16 user has a CM ROM yet though...
[HTC One S] pgarza:
what is the difference in 2.15 and 2.16? should i upgrade?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
It is incompatible with most other ROMs, but you get an official 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROM.
[HTC One S] RockR172:
2.16 won't get official CM nightlies..

I was on 2.16, downgraded to 2.15..

Wasn't a tough task, just had to 'fastboot oem flash firmware.zip'.. No relocking bootloader nothing.. Remember to backup SD card. ;)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I thought there was a commit to support 2.16 in CM11 nightlies?
[HTC One S] RockR172:
There is a commit.. but if you see it, it's marked 'Abandoned' by Ethan.. It's there for reference if someone wants to build CM for hboot 2.16.. ;)
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
I'm uploading a new BS and a new SlimKat! I don't know if it will boot..
[HTC One S] Hai96:
Sry out of thanks :D

I will test when it's uploaded
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
The commit is suspended 'cause HBOOT 2.16 is needed. But in future will needs to compile CM11. So is wrote... :angel:

New build to try is ready. HBOOT 2.16 required. . Thanks.

how to flash this one since cwm cant read new sdcard storage.do you have any recovery alternate.
[HTC One S] aegentirony:
You should be able to use the rrecovery thats used for maximus hd .....

Edit: Should be TWRP2.6.1.0
[HTC One S] adamfirari:
it failed with twrp .i tried already

[HTC One S] Rapier:
Unfortunately for me does't go past the boot animation. It's a step forward from being stuck at splash screen but still, no boot.
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
....so the cherry pick for sd card is not working as a fix for the boot animation...There should be another issue that need to be fixed..as i know droyd is working on it cause he uses slimroms as a base.
[HTC One S] ferreinf:
Same here stuck at boot animation 2.15 hboot
[HTC One S] FlyinGrub:
it cannot mount sdcard... And adb isn't working. How can we do anything with this ?

Try to install via Flash Image GUI ( I'm on W8.1)

When I reboot into Recovery : black screen

New build HBOOT Free, OP updated:

Slim-ville-4.4.alpha.1.2-UNOFFICIAL-20131116-1450(240dpi).zip (HBOOT, theorically any allowed)
[HTC One S] ferreinf:
Stuck on splash screen HTC , running Hboot 2.15
[HTC One S] striped121:
Same
[HTC One S] RockR172:
how is that possible?

hboot 2.15 mounts /storage/sdcard0 for storage

hboot 2.16 mounts /data/media for storage

That means, different partition sizes, different mount points..

i dont think its possible to make one ROM for two different hboots..
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
Is there a specific reason why this won't boot? If so will there be any more builds to fix it? I might try it tonight, on 2.16 Hboot.
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
Who have 2.16 tell us that won't boot... here the specific reason... it's a kernel issue. Actually unsolved from CM, where we get the sources. But I'm in doubt if remove the thread... hope [MENTION=1503035]phoneix[/MENTION]ITA would pick up.
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
Well it says in the OP under the download link "Attention: ACTUALLY DON'T BOOT". I will test for myself to see if it boots tonight then. It is a shame if you close it, Slim ROMs are one of the best. Thanks for all your work getting it this far anyway.
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
I could build this but if it's a kernel issue there is nothing i can do!
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
Try, if u wanna. Anyway just now I see now that lasts commits on htc_device_ville that solve SDCard mount has merged, and other commits has merged in device_msm8960 and kernel too. If someone would try, this evening build and tonight (hope) will up... is very hard for me without a ville, make a fine rom.

Note. Actually SlimKat is the only.
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
I'm waiting for some money to fix my display then i can build again.
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
Ouch! A nervous wreck against Ubuntu?

Anyway I changed my repo branch into CM-11.0.

I'm going home, I start immediately a build...
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
New build ready OP updated 2013_11_18. Try, please.
[HTC One S] striped121:
Thanx I'll test

EDIT: Dont boot. stuck at splash
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Not going past splash screen (HTC Logo screen) for me...
[HTC One S] PippoX3:

Downloading thanks for trying again.

EDIT: sorry but still the same
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
:crying: :crying: :crying: I'm pretty sure that is a kernel problem, but I can't find a fix or substitute... hold on! :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One S] striped121:
I'll try again with bubba.

EDIT. Same
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
I already checked Bubba, but it still at the same point where are CM.

Anyway I'm looking around... :D
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
using caf drivers i've managed to get this at bootanimation...
[HTC One S] PippoX3:
Which CAF drivers? From 4.3.1? However this hours CM is getting hands on kernel... I'm building to see if is the right time. :fingers-crossed:

Edit: new build ready, try:

No go tried with stock and bubba, used latest cwm ?
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
I've added in my roomservice caf repos from Slimroms i've used branch kk4.4. And modified BoardConfig.mk with three lines to use cafs. It was somethin "Target_audio....= caf" don't remember now...
[HTC One S] phoenixita:
[MENTION=2837935]PippoX3[/MENTION] i've an idea to make it booting i will try it tomorrow and let you all know! Anyway i'll use your device tree...is it updated?

VRoot Cleanup Tool - Easily replace VRoot with SuperSU

From your Windows PC​

OK everyone, here's the deal. I did the VRoot the toher day on my phone and it worked great. The problem is that it can be tricky to get the old Chinese Superuser app and SU binaries updated to SuperSU. As a result I decided to put this tool together to help update the VRoot files to SuperSU, and get rid of the old VRoot ones. What this means is that you can now clean up the Chinese Super User app and completely install SuperSU with a single click, from your Windows PC.

How to use:

Download Root Cleanup from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sto74q58uq4r1bj/root_cleaner.zip

Extract it to a folder on your computer.

Open the new folder and double click the clean_root.bat file.

Follow the directions.

** You will want to make sure that USB debugging is on (which it should be from VROOT) and that VRoot is closed when you run this. **

Also note I only have one phone to test with, and it worked great on the one I have. Please let me know if you have any other issues and I will try my best to help. Also, as always, not responsible for problems . <3

Edit: I just got asked via PM if this is to be run after freezing VRoot, etc. So I wanted to add here in case anyone else wondered. With this tool you do not need to freeze VRoot, delete any files, etc. My script will literally take care of everything for you. So, run VRoot and the phone will reboot. You can immediately close VRoot on your computer and run this to completely replace VRoot with SuperSU, and remove VRoot files.

This is my first time writing something like this, but so far I have a lot of people who told me it works fine. Please let me know if you have issues and Ill do my best to help! I went ahead and created this thread at the request of some people who have had good success with this on the other thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2511815&page=29

Update: V4 is up - this version makes sure that ADB is accessible. Thank you [MENTION=3940199]k1mu[/MENTION] for helping me with this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fabrilas:
I want to ask you, why do you think the process on i9505 hangs on the line "cleaning up files" and does not automatically reboot the phone? You need to manually reboot it.

For the rest it works great! :)

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LilTechPrincess:
My guess would be these lines:

adb shell "su -c 'rm /dev/com.mgyun.shua.su'"

adb shell "su -c 'rm /dev/com.mgyun.shua.su.daemon'"

adb shell "su -c 'rm -rf /dev/com.mgyun.shua.su'"

adb shell "su -c 'rm -rf /dev/com.mgyun.shua.su.daemon'"

The issue is that I cant remember if com.mgyun.shua.su and com.mgyun.shua.su.daemon are directories or files. If you could confirm for me which they are then I will be happy to fix my tool!

Thx

Angie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ComputerBro2:
it tells me that "device not found" any clues?

never mind the first statment if i put the file in the phone the run it from my computer it goes away. but I'm now going to put word for word what it tells me. "When prompted to grant root to ADB select yes. 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Once you have granted root to ADB press any key to continue... Press any key to continue . . .

but it never askes me to grant root to it it just sits there and does nothing and if i hit continue with out allowing it, it just deletes the su and unroots the phone. any clues about what I could be doing wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lorenzo122:
Works also with Galaxy S4 Italy Gt-i9505 :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LilTechPrincess:
If you are getting device not found that typically means that ADB is not able to access or find the phone. I would make sure that you close the VRoot tool as it will keep the debugging bridge tied up, and give you a device not found error. After you root you need make sure VRoot is closed before running my tool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That "adb is not recognized.. " is because the batch file is not running with it's current directory in the folder where you extracted it.

[MENTION=5542488]LilTechPrincess[/MENTION] -

adding "cd %~dp0"

at the start of the clean_root.bat will ensure that it's able to find the files that it needs since that'll CD to the drive and path where the clean_root.bat was extracted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ComputerBro2:
okay i just needed to update my drivers witch is odd cause i just did it yesterday hmm. Anyway now it runs fine but it wont prompt me on my phone to allow root access to adb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LilTechPrincess:
So did it fix your root to SuperSU?

Also, does anyone know how I can prompt root to ADB easier than this? Currently I am doing this to try and force the Superuser prompt:

adb shell "su -c 'touch /sdcard/invoke-root'"

If anyone knows how to do this better please let me know! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LilTechPrincess:
Thank you very much for the help! Im still a newb! haha Anyhow, I updated my tool with your suggestion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ComputerBro2:
No the adb won't start on my phone
