Well part of the problem is that both KB3 and KB1 are for 2.3.3...I mean they work with 2.3.2 but they're not meant to...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breno999:
It´s true but I´m running 2.3.3.

I only flashed the Radio from 2.3.2 since it´s the only one that not drops the radio for me.

[Palm Treo 750] techwipe:
I have an old Treo 750 that I no longer use as a phone. I would like to find cool new uses for it other than just an mp3 player or standard PDA functions. I've read suggestions like making it a universal remote, a straight alarm clock, stuff like that, but I think there are probably better ideas than that. It's not unlocked (yet), and I haven't updated it since 2009.

It's running WM6.

Treo750-1.13-ATT

Firmware - 1.54.27.00

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well I figured since we are on the eve of the Thunderbolt I'd get this thread up and running. As the first LTE phone on Verizon please share with us the speeds you are getting, your location, and if possible a screen shot or picture.

Since I opened the thread I'll go first.

12MBps Down, 30.5Mbps Up

near Boston.

Very pleased with the results, guess Verizon doesn't want the same criticism as AT&T so they over compensated on the upload lmao. Ran the test 10 times, saw the upload as high as 38Mbps, and as low as 29Mbps. Download speeds varied from 7-15Mbps. not too shabby

[Thunderbolt General] vinnyjr:
Those are some big time #'s. I'm currently getting on average during peak hours 4.8 to 6.2 mb on the DL and a very steady 1.4 mb on UL with my Nexus One on T-Mobile. How much faster can you DL a web page? Does the phone react to those big DL #'s, can you tell the difference in speeds by watching the web pages DL on your phone???? Those are very impressive speeds, Is it worth changing carriers and phones for the increased speeds? Are the increased speeds going to give a better user experience?
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
A lot of these questions can't be answered right now. Wait until there is actually a decent amount of load on the 4G network. Give it a month or 2, then these speed tests won't be so astronomical anymore, and we can get a sense of how 4g REALLY is. (I hope the network really is that good and we can get something like 10d/4u on heavy traffic)

On my Atrix, I constantly have to wait for a song to buffer on Slacker Radio. And on Youtube, the videos buffer for an uncomfortably long time, especially whenever I want to show somebody a video really quick and we both just stand there and stare blankly.

With this, there hasn't been a hiccup with streaming music nor has Youtube (even the HQ feeds) had to wait for than 5 seconds to start smoothly.

Averaging 9 down in south east florida.
[Thunderbolt General] twobit:
The upload speeds being reported by the speedtest app dont seem right. might be related to the fact that on the tbolt, tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem are set to a whopping 2MB.

If you test with your browser on http://www.speedtest.net (make sure you disable mobile view in browser settings to see the webpage otherwise you will keep getting redirected to the android app) you will get a more realistic number.

For me is DL of 15.2MBps and UL of 2Mbps when using the speedtest website test.

I also took a look at the speedtest android app vs. the speedtest.net browser test. The standalone android app actually does a single large file DL / UL to measure speed, where as the web test does multiple smaller file DL and UL.

So reality is that speeds are probably somewhere in between what the speedtest website and android app are reporting.

[Thunderbolt General] MichaelWestin:
A lot of these speed test results seem pretty hard to believe. I mean, if they are accurate, then yeah that's awesome. But a lot of the time speed tests may not indicate actual performance, for various reasons.

I'm not trying to be a downer, by I think a much clearer indication of actual sustained speed would be to set the phone up as a Wi-Fi hotspot, connect a laptop, and try to download a 100mb file or something and see how it goes. Sure 100 mb seems large on mobile now, but there are some games and apps that are that size, or even more with additional downloads after installing the main apk, Gameloft games for one.

To measure upload speeds accurately, use an FTP program and connect to a source that can receive at 10+ mbps, and see how fast the transfer is when sending a file. FTP programs usually display the upload rate as the file is sending, so the consistency can be viewed.

Some speed is probably lost by using the hotspot instead of going to/from the device directly, but I still think this method will be much more accurate then the speedtest app. And just think.. if you see those high upload speeds and they are sustained, then we really know how awesome the service is.
[Thunderbolt General] th3_g00b:
are u talking about the speedtest site/app? i think its just saying that the closest source of ur connection is in that city....that would explain ur ping if it was high...

The upload speeds are obviously off and that's been pointed out by many but I thought I'd add that testing while tethered via my CR-48 one DSL reports' speed test kept telling me that "your uploads appear to be compressed by your ISP."
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
If I'm interpreting it correctly it sounds like the upload stats from speedtest app is invalid due to it measuring the time to dump the test upload file to the phone's large internal receive buffer instead of measuring the time to upload from phone to remote speedtest server. I knew it didn't look right because upload speed is almost always a smaller ratio of the download speed.

Hey guys. Has anyone noticed that the speeds you are getting through the phone varies greatly from speeds through the mobile hotspot app? I am in River Falls, WI (non-4g at the moment but should finally be here in a month or so they tell me :) ) Anyway, in my house I get around 2-2.3mbps down, but tethered through the mobile hotspot I am only getting around .6 down (one topped out at .7). This is almost 4 times slower than what I get in the same location through speedtest.net's phone app and the speedtest.net browser on my mac. I realize there will be some decline over wifi, but it seems like this much of a decrease isn't right. The app must not be coded efficiently or be able to distribute its speed well. Anyone else replicate this? I could really use any help in figuring this out as this will have to act as my only home internet service (nothing but dial-up or satellite available). I need to get as fast as possible thru my phone to work on my computer. Does using a rooted TB help? Like, if you use a Wireless Tether app instead of verizons built in app do you see consistent speeds across both your phone and computer.

Thanks again!

And if anyone has any inside knowledge on the 4g plans for the River Falls, WI or Minneapolis, MN area please let me know!! Can't wait to get 4g here!
