I have an ATT-Tilt, I keep hearing that the high speed ATT 3.5g is supposed to go at 3mb down - All I get is somewhere between 100-700kbs Max in Los Angeles. My friend is on Verizon and he gets easily double my max rate all the time. He can watch his slingbox no problem, I cannot unless I am Wi-Fid.

So I think we should all use this post to see just how bad GSM high speed (H or U) is around the world.

I used http://dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 and clicked on the 1mb test. To repeat use the back button and click 1mb again. I use IE as the other browsers don't seem to work. I have run the test in various spots around LA.

On each reply how about using this format:

Location = Los Angeles, CA USA or City, Country outside US.

Min = 100kbs

Max = 700kbs

Test Used - dslreports 1mb

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION!

Also, if anyone knows of a better test, let us know.

Also, if anyone knows if or when the GSM network will get better, please report.

As far as I am concerned, if this is the status Quo, I am not going to pay them $40 bucks a month for an inferior data service - better phones or not.

then DO NOT get Eten x800 VGA phone if u want 3.5G HSDPA!

this phone is advertised as 3.5G HSDPA, but all u get is regular 3g UMTS speed at a max of 384k!

good thing this company is not located in USA, otherwise they will get lawsuits for false advertising!
[Networking] dieKatze88:
guys, You need to understand that it Can do 3.6mb/s

My Cable internet is rated so that it Can do 12mb/s I rarely get over 2 or 3 mb/s. And that's with a wire.

Wireless connections are even more fragile. if you're getting 700-800kb/s then that's fine. It works the same way a Wifi Access point does. The Further you are from the tower, the crappier the connection is. My tower is about 1300 feet away according to Google maps and I'm getting... lets see here. 672kb/s. I'm also inside. Its also crappy weather outside.

Another factor is where the data being downloaded is being cached. Flash isn't the fastest thing ever, but the ROM Flash inside your phone is WAY faster than the SD Card, and I'm storing my cache to the SD Card.

Another thing, Just like Wifi, More users = Less bandwidth for everybody.

There's even more factors I'm not going to get into.

Devices, Radio versions, Use of Proxies.

Also, UMTS is not GSM high speed, its a completely new technology, and HSDPA is a bolton for it. They are different. UMTS is just the 3g evolution path for GSM according to the world. Keep in mind, NTT DoCoMo went to UMTS (I know, FOMA first. they're going to Plain UMTS now) from PDC.

One more test to run

As to the comment about actual vs real bandwidth - DUH!

Its not about that at all, its about the ability to actually use their 3g to play media of any type.

So here is another test to run - if you have TCPMP setup correctly - go to YouTube.com - use classic mode and try to play any video on their site.

For me, WIFI plays fine, 3g rarely starts up TCPMP.

Can anyone explain why this is the case?

Nope, especially since I can stream using YTPocket.com no problem over UMTS (HSDPA Disabled) and sometimes, even over EDGE. Depending on network conditions.

Opera Mini useless testing

I do not care how fast a wired server in Norway can download data. Remember, mini is using a proxy server. That is why it will always report faster speeds. Totally useless.

Please stop using Opera Mini as a speed test. It is totally inOperaBle!

What I am trying to find out is Tilt upload speeds. I am in Houston, which supposedly has HSUPA now, and I have an 8525 and always wanting more. Has the Tilt really tested faster internet speeds than the 8525 (using PIE)?

I'm also in the market for video out, which would exclude the Tilt if I find something better.

No 3.6 on At&t yet

To my knowledge At&t has not flipped the switch on the 3.6 mb/s download speeds yet.

Right now they are still at 1.8 mb/s (at least in most areas). They were supposed to have upgraded the network by now, but I have not heard anything official saying that it has been completed yet.

Also, try running another speed test on your pc while tethered to your device. I almost always get 300-500 kbps faster than on my phone.

also you should be careful on how you display your speed test because in post 1 it says 1.8mb/s so is that 1.8mega bytes or 1.8 mega bits cause after all there are 8 bits in a byte. just trying to make it clear

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Mine did that. I forced it to power down, then booted normal to verify it was ok. Then did it again and it was fine.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Yakuzahi:
I did power it down but to boot and only runs on the dancing dots.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:
I have read other people having same problem, they were mostly using outdated android tools
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Yakuzahi:
The problem is that I was on 7.1.1 and the root method was for 7.0.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mac796:
Mine did the same but I figured out because I was using the minimal adb . I started out on 7.1 though
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] techhexium:
Hey, I also happened to foolishly apply the root method for 7.1.0 after I OTA updated to NMF26Q. Here's what I did to fix this (I assume you know your way around the command line, if not just let me know):

0) Ensure that adb and fastboot are installed on your computer, you can search in the web for installers or get the Android SDK installer.

1) Boot your phone to the bootloader. Whether it is powered off or at the dancing dots, hold power until it vibrates, then release the power button and immediately hold power and volume down.

2) Go get the TWRP RC1 ZIP and boot image here, if your phone is the XL version change sailfish to marlin in the URL.

3) Open up a terminal/command prompt, change the directory to where you downloaded the two files above. Then enter:

fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-sailfish.img

4) The command line should tell say OKAY and your phone should now be in TWRP. You should also be able to access internal storage, you need to place the zip file in there.

5) Tap install, find the TWRP zip file you downloaded, then flash. Don't reboot yet, go back to the main menu, tap reboot then tap recovery.

6) Since you flashed TWRP this will be the recovery now and you no longer need the boot file. Now download the latest SuperSU zip found here, flash it and reboot normally, and you are done!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ohthehugemanatee:
Thank you for this, [MENTION=5452036]techhexium[/MENTION]! It's hard to tell versions from chainfire - I really thought I had a 7.1.1 version of boot-to-root.img. Apparently I was wrong, since I got stuck atthe dancing dots, too. I set up with TWRP latest (which is still 3.0.2-0-RC1) and the latest SuperSu, and I can boot again. Worth noting, instead of the specific superSu version you linked, it's better to get the latest release from chainfire.eu . 2.79SR1 in particular has a compatibility fix with TWRP that's important.

Installation Guide

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM ANY BUILD OTHER THAN OF3 START HERE, OTHERWISE GO TO PART 2

Guys, this step is MANDATORY!! If you don't do this step the OS will fail to install and you will SOFTBRICK

In this part we'll be flashing your OS down to G900AUCU4BOF3, pre-rooted stock, using FlashFire by Chainfire.

Prerequisites:

Download FlashFire from the Play Store

Download the G900A_OF3 pre-rooted stock ROM from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347788226

Put said OF3 zip on your phone's external SD or internal storage.

Okay, time to flash!

Go to FlashFire, tap the "+", select "Flash Zip or OTA", find and select the OF3 zip, leave "auto-mount" unchecked.

Uncheck ALL EverRoot functions. The ROM is pre-rooted.

Set reboot setting to "Normal"

Tap the lightning bolt, tap OK

The device will flash and reboot, go to AT&T Splash for 1-2 minutes, and then completely reboot.

IF YOU ARE ON PRE-ROOTED OF3 START HERE

Prerequisites:

Install FlashFire from the Play Store

Download the ROM

Put the ROM zip in your phone's storage (Internal Storage or External SD)

Time to flash!

Go to FlashFire, tap the "+", select "Flash Zip or OTA", find and select the ROM zip, leave "auto-mount" unchecked.

Uncheck ALL EverRoot functions.

**CRUCIAL** Tap the "+" again, select "Wipe", and check every box EXCEPT "Internal Storage", then tap OK.

Arrange the "Flash Zip" and "Wipe" cards so that "Wipe" is before "Flash", FlashFire likes to put it the other way around, and if you let it do so, you've got yourself a softbrick and have to ODIN back to OI5 and start all over.

Set reboot setting to "Normal"

Tap the lightning bolt, tap OK

The device will flash and reboot, it will stick at the splash screen anywhere from 2-8 minutes (mine stuck around 4).

That's it! You're done. That wasn't too hard, was it?

Hi,

I tried installing it via the instructions. Unfortunately, I get an error where it says that the System UI has stopped working and I can't type anything because the keyboard does not appear. Also, when the screen rotates, I get the System UI error.

Any recommendations?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Yeah the systemui is really buggy right now... I'm working on it but I won't have a patch for another couple days.

As for the keyboard I'm working on that too, I suspect the fact that I removed SAMSUNGIME caused the bug, you have to use data through setup and then set the default keyboard in settings after.

In the future please refer to the Bug Reports tab for fixes or status of known bugs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] paublina:
Dumb question because it's not made very clear but do you already have to be rooted to use this?

I actually can't even root my phone because it's stuck on 4.4.2

I installed FlashFire and all it says is that root access could not be acquired.

I have not been able to update my phone in two years.

I went to a Samsung Experience place inside a Best Buy and the guy literally emailed me the link to this post because he said that the only way he could update it was to completely "re-lock" the phone back to AT&T which would make my phone unusable since I am not an AT&T customer.

At this point I feel like I have to just buy a new phone.

I've tried to use TowelRoot before but my phone softbricked and thankfully I was able to get it back.

Any suggestions or a helping hand would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Oh I forgot about that update... (Sorry I'm tired). Yeah that should work, back up before you flash though just in case anything goes awry ;)
