[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxmatts:
I'm in Portland, OR and I'm only getting around 3-4 Mbps on my G2. It does show an H on my status bar, so I called up TMO and asked if we had HSPA+ in Portland and they said yes, but said "5 Mbps is about all I would get". I don't ever get that, they also said "well it's 3 times faster than 3G, you should be happy about that" :mad:. What's there to be happy about. So, I downloaded the Mobile Signal Widget to check what I am running and it says I'm on 3G.. Whats up with that? Does that mean that I do not have HSPA+ in my area? My husbands Samsung Vibrant is pulling down faster speeds than my G2 :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdc:
I'm in the same greater metro area (closer to Hillsboro than Gresham), and no, it doesn't mean that. I see my G2 'sync' with HSDPA often, but it also just as often looses it and goes back to UMTS (AKA 3G). It's in our area, it's just 'finicky'.

The Pacific NW is horrible for radio signals. Lots of mountains, hills and trees that mess with the signal. :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Willie133:
I'm in LA and I usually get around that kind of speed. Maybe it's just too saturated here... although I'm not sure that matters.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blueboymj:
I found that even in the T-Mobile store when I ran the Speedtest app side to side on a Vibrant and a G2 that the Vibrant would show faster download speeds. But then going into their respective web browers and going to view full websites (not the mobile versions) that the G2 was able to process and fully load the website faster than the Vibrant.

You also have to remember that the Vibrant is HSPA while the G2 is HSPA+. So the Vibrant's radio maxes at 7.2 mbps and the G2 at an amazing 14.4 mbps. T-Mobile is constantly improving their network and as future technology comes available the Vibrant won't be physically capable of handling those network speeds while the G2 will love them.

I was down in Miami yesterday and ran a Speedtest... 6.14 mpbs. Even that is approaching the Vibrant's capablities while not even reaching half of this phone's.

And I couldn't imagine typing all of that on a phone without as great of a keyboard as great as this phone's.
[G2 and Desire Z General] android602:
So how do you know your connected to hspa+ using this app?
[G2 and Desire Z General] thebitjockey:
When did HSPA+ go live in Chicago?

Previously on my GS I only saw "Mobile Network Type" show UMTS. Today I am seeing HSDPA! :D

This is all at my desk at work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SeReaction:
How are you getting your Speedtest to show greater than 7.46? For reason mine starts to show -1 past that point unless I export a CSV to which I would see a better result:

""2010-10-30 21:35","Cell",951524,204690,112,"Atlanta, GA""

"But the ITU demands that a 4G system achieve a peak data rate of 1 Gbit/sec for a stationary user, which current "4G" systems can't meet."

So...I really don't see how 4mbs is even close to 4G-like. It's more like 4/1000ths 4G like. Even current LTE and Wi-max standards, which are being called 4G, aren't anywhere near 4G-like.

But companies know consumers are dumb and love buzzwords, so good luck seeing all this false advertising end anytime soon. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] scrizz:
exactly!

that's what I tell people all the time.

4G is not out yet.

all the stuff you see now is marketing

;)

the fastest i got on the HSPA+ here in tampa, FL was 10Mb/s :D

the wierd thing though is I usually get 3-4Mb/s

and with my vibrant i get 6Mb/s

so the G2 has some issues.

;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Wow and I'm on an area that does got hspa+ and I get uneer half a mb all day long FML
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
Chicago is finally up and running, sweet!
[G2 and Desire Z General] etjrowe:
This is about as it good as it gets for me here in New London, CT. Full bars. Relatively sure it's only HSPA and not HSPA+ though. Coverage in New England sucks to say the least. Also, my Nexus One usually registered faster than this. I have actually yet to see download speeds that were faster than my upload speeds here. Hopefully I'll get to taste some real HSPA+ goodness here soon when I travel home for the holidays.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
So as we all know with our devs pushing the cpu like up to these ridiculous speeds and our benchmarks not really showing the type of jump that we were really expecting, Is it possible that the way the CPU works is causing these scores not to score as high but not affect it's speed in the same way?

So after reading a bit on our CPU, from what I got from it ours does has about the average amount of IPS(instructions per second) compared to the snapdragon and it's custom architecture. However ours is said to be designed in a way that it requires 25-50% less instructions for 20~% of it's functions. So if thats the case we should be doing a little better in different areas.

In turn my real question is...

Because these benchmarks were built prior to our CPU being out, will that affect the numbers considering they probably aren't built for the way ours functions. Or am I just thinking way to far into this and have no idea what i'm talking about :D.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Which benchmarks are you referencing?

MFLOPS?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
Anything from Linpack to SetCPU native benchmarks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
You should probably read a bit on LINPACK - it was originally designed in the late 70's, 1979 to be precise, it was a set of Fortran procedures to perform numeric linear algebra. It is quite affected by the OS, and that's why you see LINPACK scores on 2.2+ systems are quite "improved" over 2.1 or earlier systems running better or the same hardware.

As far as SetCPU is concerned - there is no point running the benchmark on the CPU's that do not support NEON instructions, NEON is a Cortex-A specific (our phone and iPhone4 are among the few that have it); running it on a non-Cortex-A CPU, like a G2's GenII Snapdragon/Sciorpion from Qualcomm, does nothing but confuse people with bunch of numbers (the numbers are correct, they show how long it took that CPU to ignore the instruction instead of execute it, ignoring takes a lot less time than executing :) ).

And the C number in native SetCPU, I would assume it is a condition set on the instruction set to Carry on even if the previous instruction resulted in NOP (No Operation), so in the case of the glorified G2 for instance (you prolly saw the pretty screenshots) after ignoring the NEON instruction, it carries on ignoring the next NEON instruction throwing at it, so I am not sure what it is indicative of though, have to ask the SetCPU dev.

I hope this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
It does help very much so which is sort of what i was seeing regarding SetCPU scores, they didn't seem correct based off the newer frequency's of the TeamWhiskey kernel they are developing. This would make sense.

So regarding linpack and 2.2, why is it that the Snapdragon is able to pull out these 55+ linpack results? It doesn't make sense that our CPU wouldn't be capable to pull off the same with what were are able to OC our CPU too, were getting much lower results compared to other phones moving to 2.2, if you can please explain this a little further. Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
It's the OS limitation, and I am trying not to make an excuse for it, but RFS as well.

LINPACK score is highly affected on what your OS is doing, and how it is doing what it does :), given a fair chance, with Galaxy S hopefully getting 2.2 this year (LOL), and team z4mod developing the overhaul of the cripple RFS you will see comparable LINPACK scores.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
You made some realy great points, it is always good to have knowledgeable people around to answer technical questions. However, I don't understand how RFS, a file system affects arithmetic calculation? (from what I read, Linpack is basically a really difficult math problem).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
Thanks for the very in depth answers. Hopefully fixing the filesystem would fix the speeds and such of the CPU. I'm hoping your right on that idea. If thats the case, do you think we will be comparable to the G2's Extremely high scores?

+1

On a second note, what would compel Samsung to use such filesystem? Is it because of the proprietary side of it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
I might've gone there on a limp, but from my understanding is that floating point operations stressed out by computing NxN matrix (LINPACK benchmark) is optimized to take an advantage of the L2 cache on the processor. Well our processor has 512K L2 cache if I am not mistaken, and from what I read on Qualcomm CPU in G2 - it has no cache at all. So where to keep the data? The next fastest media is memory and then disk I/O, and idsk I/O is where the weakest link is, given the fact that we have a decaying FAT32 implementation the weakest link is even weaker.

Remember your system is as good as your weakest link.

Did I make a plausible excuse :D?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
It COULD be possible, considering how freeing up RAM increases linpack scores (to an extend). But how about people who have voodoo? Isn't that ext 4, so linpack on those system should fly off the chart but they don't/ :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Voodoo only addresses /data, I would assume instructions for LINPACK calculation will be punted to /cache
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
So then the new z4mod should (hopefully) raise our linpack scores fairly higher since thats a 100% complete conversion correct?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
I believe with mature z4mod and a stable froyo build the Galaxy S will shine, hopefully it is not a wishful thinking, and these things happen sooner than later for us.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
+1 to that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreyList:
Hi,

I am just wondering why cifs-support does not apperar in any of the modded kernels? Is there no common request for it?

I for myself would love to stream media in my wifi-network at home. The available separate cifs.ko (and additional files like slow-work.ko) are installable by script for use in cifsmanager for example, but it is not convenient to install it after every reboot (and I dont get the sense of the additional files, too).

Is there any reason (kernel gets to slow/to big)? As far as I can see it is integrated in 2.2-Kernels for other mobiles.

Sorry for my english,

regards

GreyList
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sztupy:
it takes space, and imho it's less useful than tun.ko support. You can compile one with cifs support though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkbyt3:
Maybe at least CONFIG_SLOW_WORK=y should be configured(I don't know if it is on custom kernels). This will remove the need for a second module for cifs and it's pretty small (130kb)

You need a custom kernel for CPU Overclock so you need to flash a custom ROM.
