speed tests

I've been wanting to do a set of speed tests using all the different modem connections available on the phone and I finally got around to it tonight. I used the usb tether option when you attach the phone, pdanet tethered, sprint hotspot and wireless tether. I've attached the results but pretty much for my setup in my location sprint hotspot for 3g was the fastest at 909 down/90 up and pdanet tether for 4g 2372 down/120 up. The phone pulled 1165 down/678 up on 3G and 2460 down/513 up on 4G. These tests were done on 2-3 bars 3G and one bar 4G. My setup is in my signature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccaudio1:
my phone will bootloop at 1.2ghz but it runs wwell on 1190 all day long tho.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Ok guys... sorry... beta will take a little longer.

But not by much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
Mik...how can us new guys get on that beta...would love to be one of the few..

Thank you

Have you disabled the comcast network connection? I had to do that to get mine to use the evo's connection.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jettin Stang:
i installed the mikfroyo rom and i noticed that the place that used to be for setting up widgets or shortcuts is replaced by the internet and was wondering how to get to the widgets and shortcuts screen if there still is one
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Long press anywhere on the home screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emuview:
just hold your finger on the screen where you want the shortcut
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
dont have phone on me but hard press on the screen...... try that and see if the widget/shortcut screen comes up.

Having 4g problems .. any help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ziggy is No More...

Like other's in here, Ziggy's latest has been giving me issues.

1) Random screen locks.

2) FC's.

3) Phone getting warm.

4) Lousy battery life.

So, dumped it and using Netarchy again.

UPDATE: Back to running Netarchy Toastmod - 4.3.1-bfs-havs-sbc (http://www.qap.la/~netarchy/netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-bfs-havs-sbc-universal-signed.zip) with no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I gave it another shot too Mitch. Tried 3 different versions without overclocking this time and its just been one problem after another. Sorry Ziggy but I'm jumping ship back to net also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willsurg:
I agree with the above, the last few BFS have NOT run well on my evo, lots of forced closes, so I did as suggested, re-flashed after kernal installation, put up with about 4 reboots to let the kernal settle in, AND it looks like it has, quad scrores for anybody who cares 1400, sluggishness only when evo first wakes up, no FC's thus far,(fingers crossed) but its to early. The CFS version of ziggys always works fine for me, I just wanted to see what all the fuss on bfs was about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
That's crazy I've been using the newest beta cfs and haven't had one problem. My phone must like ziggys
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I noticed that my r/w sdcard score were a few points higher using ziggy than netarchy (with the speed hack). Perhaps this is ziggy's problem - it is trying to push the sdcard too hard and generating r/w errors causing fc's.

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
What sdcard are you running?

** yep all phones are different. There is no one solution that works for everyone.

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
Sandisk 16gb class 2. My speeds for it are 6/16. It is actually the card that comes with the hd2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Thanks man.

From a supercharged Evo!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
6/16 with a Class 2? Hmm, that should be physically impossible as a Class 2 will only write at 2 mbps max.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nck4857:
My damn Patriot Class 10 is only writing at 6MB/s and reading at 16MB/s...

Good morning all. Mitch I have a question, I d/l'd RA 2.3 from jk and on my phone it just shows as "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-test03-1.img" file. How do I get this to install?

On a side note I also went back to netarchy's kernal 4.3-bfs-havs-more-sbc cause I was having to many issues with ziggy's, slow page loading, pages freezing up, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bumsock:
Or go onto your app drawer and look for "Rose settings" and you can change it using that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
copy .img file to your phone's sd card then do a full nandroid backup (wiping cache and dalvik-cache first)... then

C:>adb shell
#flash_image recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-test03-1.img
#reboot recovery

PS: this is all contained in the OP for the Amon_RA Thread by the way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
press the menu button at the bottom then select add to home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
I take it with the coding you need to use adb? If so this is where I get screwed by me (LOL) I am not knowledgable in the use of ADB so have always stepped to the side of it.

Ziggy haters

To all of you hating on ziggy's newer kernels...then jumping back to netarchy because the newer ones are giving you problems..I have one question:

"Why not simply go back to the ziggy kernel you originally liked??"

I know..."no need to the state the incredibly obvious..the merely obvious will be fine"___M*A*S*H
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
USING ADB:

abd shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-test03-1.img

reboot

USING TERMINAL:

<<<

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-test03-1.img

reboot

** This assumes that you have flash_image on the root of your sdcard (as well as recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-test03-1.img) . If you don't have flash_image, download it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/963163/flash_image

P.S., Learn to use ADB. Not having it at your disposal makes your life harder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
From terminal on your phone just enter the other commands without the adb shell part. (backup everything first)...

then reboot...

then enter a terminal app on your phone... enter:

Terminal:

SU

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3-test03-1.img

reboot recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Not a matter of "hating" ziggy's kernel. I have no emotional response to his kernel at all. It just doesn't work for me and Netarchy always has. 1's and 0's :)

** I think ziggy tends to push the limits a bit more than Net does and my EVO falls outside the limits. YMMV.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Lol, we keep answering over each other. Ah well, if one answer is good two is better! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Lol, that's what I was thinking too...I just got a ziggy kernel yesterday and no problems yet for me. As with ROMs, I like to try out different kernels from time to time. Can't ever go wrong with Netarchy's work it seems...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I'm not "hating" or "loving" any one particular kernel either...just curious why some people don't just go back to the one that was working for them before instead of trying a new release and jumping ship cuz it doesn't work as well as the earlier version.... as you said "1's and 0's"
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I've always had issues with ziggy as I recall. Like I said, I think he pushes things and my wimpy rig (hope my phone didn't hear me sat that) just isn't up to it. No worries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nck4857:
Yeah, I'm using it.. I'm doing Aps2sd and Cache on SD and it seems to be doing okay... I don't know if I should try to send it back or not.. It seems like more of a pain in the ass than it's worth..

I just ran the test again and nudged up to 7write/16read, it still says my card indicates to be a Class 6, though...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Did you buy it from a reputable retailer?

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] iTouch24:
did u try to adb push the file to system/apps ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nck4857:
I got it at frys.com...? First time ever using them...

What's anyone else getting with a Class10 card? Maybe I will try to get a replacement if it turns out I got a lemon..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Test it on desktop. Even with the speed hack it runs so much faster on my computer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kudzus:
Just a thought but, you could try and bump the 128 hack to 256
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Another possibility that you should consider is that the speed test you are using may have difficulty properly testing Class 10 cards since they are so new.

Also do some checking online and make sure Patriot actually makes a Class 10 card.

Last point . How much did you pay for it?

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I am just sitting here refreshing the Beta download site (the location is a closely guarded secret btw!!!, no, I don't know more than you, I am just hoping he will put it in the same place as the other betas were posted)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nck4857:
http://patriotmemory.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=4&catid=70&prodgroupid=78&id=1028&type=15

so it is legit and the packaging and everything defiantly isn't fake.. I think I paid just over $40...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...

$40 for a Class 10 16gb card sounds low to me and the card scores just like my class 6. My guess is you got a class 6 (about $40 is what they cost on sale).

** I stand corrected. Those are selling for that cheap. Hmmm, wonder why your scores like a 6?

Lol.... good, I'm not the only one... lol... I thought maybe I was missing something...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
+1 I have seen several conversations in other threads addressing the fact that the "Classification" of many of the speed testers is not to be trusted.

I say if everything is working fine and your apps2sd doesn't complain, and your Quadrant scores are good....then why worry? Just tell yourself you really have a Class 10 card...repeat that over and over to yourself until you believe it...and screw what some software app says you have!

Thank you jk and mitch for your help earlier. I went back to using nets kernal cause that seems to work better on my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Its not that hate the Ziggy kernals JK, it just doesn't work with my phone.

Since flashing back to my original Nets 4.3.1-bfs-havs-nosbc, my phone is back to running like a champ again. I haven't had a single FC, lockup, or reboot since switching back. Like Mitch said, I think that kernal is just to much for my phone to handle. Its unfortunate, as I really like the way the phone felt with the Ziggy kernal on there, but being a Frankenstein of a kernal, meaning its a mosh up of different phone models, is just something my phone can't handle.

It seems that the Ziggy kernals are hit or miss on Evo's. Some like them, and others don't. I need my phone to work, not reboot itself every couple of minutes. Even with setCPU not installed, my phone was still doing it while sleeping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
where is this fix i didnt see it on front page nor did i see it in aamikams posts
[EVO 4G Android Development] knewz:
Thanks for all you do Mik, i love your roms. I am having one issue with 4.4. I can't play my .flv files with flvplayer anymore. I used 4.2 before the most current rom and it worked fine. I have done numerous cache, dalvik, data wipes and resinstalled twice. with no success yet. When i try to play a .flv i get a white screen. it blinks once and then just static white display. i have also tried 4 other flv players and same results. Any advice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Umm...:o..check my siggy...I went back to Netarchy.:o..no real reason...just had to flash something while waiting on 4.5 beta to post!! Manually did the sd kb_readahead tweak (cuz I know aamikam will include that in his beta version:) so that we will all have it regardless of what kernel we choose!!)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
FYI for all with ziggy, I am still testing but I think the problem may be in the 128mhz drop and no smartass. Also don't OC as you don't get enough extra for the cost of battery. Use conservative gov. I'll let you guys know results later. So far all day no problems.

From a supercharged Evo!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] iTouch24:
none of the links work in your signature .. i was going to look at the theme
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I tried. That one was giving me problems too. I actually did a nandroid back to my setup with the stock kernel, then wiped cache and dalvik through esn and then flashed ziggys 1-15 release which previously worked for a day. Nets bfs 4.3 is almost as good with much better stability FOR MY PHONE.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
Why you are very right. 4.5 beta to be exact. We MikFroyoians are very alert on this thread. This is probably the busiest thread in Android Development. You will soon be hooked..just wait
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Something to do in the meantime...

If you guys want something to do while you wait on the beta, you should check out:

Splashtop Remote in the Market.

It allows you to run everything that you can run on your PC right on your EVO. Here is Windows 7 running on my EVO. It is very cool for watching Netflix, etc.

** Yes, this IS a screenie from my EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vopwriter:
I swear, I gotta be one lucky SOB with my EVO. I have thrown Nets SBC's, ran an older ziggy cfs, am running the newer Ziggy CFS 011511 now overclocking to 1.152 without a single reboot issue or freeze. Its all good and smooth for last 2 days and and Quads are between 1350-1400. The only thing it hated was one Kings Kernel but thats no worry with all these choices. No heat problems and about 14-16 hours leaves around 35 - 40% battery life.

I love my EVO (just ask my wife...) and feel blessed to have stumbled onto the MikFroYo thread 7 weeks ago. Aamikam, you sir are the man.

...and Jk and Mitchell - thanks for providing me with info to read and learn and quips to entertain!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Hey...lildoug2410...that idea of putting everything on mediafire folders in you siggy is a great idea and very helpfull to "newbies"...kinda like it better than my way of just linking to the mods!!

Are we are moving toward the day when in order for others to be able to enjoy our setups we start posting a complete nandroid of our whole phone!! :confused:

Kinda reminds me of my old Motorola Razor days when you could post a "monster pack" that had all of your system "snapshot" with all themes, mods, and if you weren't carefull, your contacts and phone logs!!

Mitch - have you used the Logmein app for remote access? I am curious to know if Splashtop runs nicer or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well Splashtop is only $5 :) LogMeIn is $30.

The only hassle with Splashtop is you have to reserve some ports for it in your Router Setup if you want to use it away from home. Easy to do but if you don't have a Static IP can be a hassle. Don't know how that works with LogMeIn.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
+1 That was one of the first things that jumped out at me also (cost that is!)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vopwriter:
For apps that pricey, I save up my allowance for several weeks.

Your wisdom is appreciated, Mitch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I wouldn't admit that in a public forum if I were you. The Feds frown on piracy (if they decide to make an example of you, you are completely screwed) + the Dev deserves to get paid for his work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildoug2410:
No harm intended on my part. I was just trying to make things easier. If it really offends you I will change it. You gotta think too, for the newbies that do show an interest on this post, you will find that they lose interest less if they can find everything in a one-stop shop. Everybody has different ways of doing things. Im not taking any credit away from any devs or modders by doing this. I will give them Thanks all day long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Ok guys... the beta for 4.5 is up in the folder.

PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR MODS AND THEMES FOR IT YET, WAIT FOR THE FINAL!

ALL THE OLD STUFF WILL WORK BUT ITS NOT 100% SAME AS 4.5.

MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO FULLY WIPE FOR BETTER TESTING RESULTS.

PM ME WITH ISSUES ETC.

vanila lockscreen by default (htc lockscreen on sdcard).

fixed some tiny issues with apktool adding "amp;" where its not needed (in some strings).

fixed market comments not showing what u type.

minor graphical/animations changes.

compressed and opt images inside the apks.

100% of the images that should be in grayscale are in grayscale.

added sdcard speed tweak.

mem management is preset to aggressive.

removed apps that u can find on the market.

heap size changed to 48mb (lets see how it goes)

im not sure when u guys will see a final version, school has not been too much yet, but next week and on... its gonna start to get crazy... so i hope i can give u guys a final version by Fri or Sat with all the extras im planning on adding to the rom.

p.s.

guys... please take a sec to rate the thread (the stars on top) thanks.

and also i wanna say wow!... over 6500 posts (approx 220 posts a day) in 1 month... that must be some kind of record, so thank u again guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
woohoo :) .
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thats why i said... lets see how it goes...

it was said that if u use jit u should set it to 48mb... but lets see how it works out... thats why its a beta... not cuz its not finished... just cuz its fun trying out things on a beta ver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
heard.

Maybe this will fix whatever has been causing my sdcard to mount automatically as disk drive even when I don't ask it to. Lol, before it wouldn't mount now it won't stop. I'm gonna go full wipe here cause i have so much stuff going on that you have now added.
