USB Tethering very slow - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to use my SGS as a Wlan-N stick because my PCs WiFi-Card only support Wlan b/g. The g-standard have a shorter range (40 meters) than the n-standard (70 meters) so I thought that you will get a better Ping/Speed with it.
But when I tried to do it I get only a download-speed of 289 kbit/s. With the other card I get a speed of 24 Mbit/s.
So my question is why am I getting a lower speed with Wlan-N if I use USB-tethering?
Can it be like that because I use the JPA-WiFi-driver on my JPX?
Thx for the answers and a happy new year ;-)

speedtest.net app

Was curious as to was speeds people are getting when running this app.
On zen's mytouch rom I consistently get >1200 kbps down while on the sprint rom I am getting < 850 kbps down...
On both I get about 600-700 kbps up
I don't understand because I didn't think a rom would affect data speeds.
Can people post their speeds, and if any devs have insight on why the significant speed difference, please enlighten me.
Id expect to see this in dev from a noob, but I certainly didn't expect to see this from you Looney.

thanks... brain fart on my part
it varies pretty greatly but highest was 1452 up and 765 down.
lowest was 456 down and 531 up.
I've always gotten great speed here in Atlanta. I am using Zen's rom and it seems once I switched to this rom, my speeds increased dramatically from the sprint release rom for 2.1.
2151 Down and 646 Up Highest
1751 Down and 711 Up Lowest
I'm getting constant 1400 d/l and 8 - 900 u/l on Zen's ROM

Here in Austin, I probably average around 1000 up and 600 down.
I have a question. What does everyone get on wi-fi? I ask because my wi-fi is never any faster than my 3G. I've always wondered if there is something wrong with the wi-fi on my phone, because I believe it should be much faster.
Wi-fi speed examples anybody?
On 3g in Kansas City I got 1099/730, and on wi-fi I got 3033/559.

OK, moved out of my basement, and now I got 2002/667 on 3g, 2951/551 on wi-fi. My broadband is capped at 512 up.

[Q] Can the Nexus One act as a Wi-Fi hotspot using 802.11n?

Question in the title. Thanks.
From what I understand, the nexus can only send and receive at 2.4ghz rather than 5 ghz which is what gives an n radio its higher range. I don't think this is something software can patch. But I'd love to hear if I'm wrong.

802.11N exists in the 2.4Ghz spectrum, which is exactly how the N1 is able to connect to 802.11N hotspots broadcasting in the 2.4Ghz spectrum, but not to the 5Ghz ones

Exactly. Now, what I want to know, is if I can use Wi-Fi hotspot to connect my laptop to my phone via 802.11n 2.4GHz.
I believe not - phone doesn't have MIMO capabilities required from 802.11n router. On the other hand, I don't see why it could help you in any possible way - it won't speed up the file transfer over the network (which is capped lower than 54Mbps - something around 4MB/s is the fastest achievable transfer rate on USB-SD, and it's not achievable under OS either, only in recovery - so network transfers will be also capped at that maximum or less), and it definitely won't speed up the internet (which is capped at 7.2Mbps).

Thanks. I assumed that the transfer rate of my class 6 SD card was around 49Mbps (6MB/s), but I didn't didn't realize that transfers rates of the NAND flash (via the OS) were lower than 54Mbps (~6.6MB/s)...

Every transfer HAS to pass through the NAND flash? There's no way of going directly to the SD card?
That is interesting indeed!

No, I don't believe it does. However, the transfer rate of an SD card is slower than the onboard flash memory.

I'm not quite sure I understand...
You stated that the NAND memory had a speed "lower than 54Mbps (~6.6MB/s)" while your SD card has speeds "around 49Mbps (6MB/s)". Wouldn't a class 10 be technically faster than the NAND memory or does the "through the OS" part have something to do with the speed?
Thanks!

Jack (not me) said that the transfer rate of the NAND memory is lower than 54Mbps. I would have thought that they would have been much higher, that's why I asked the initial question. (And I made a typo: in my last post, I should have said the MAX speed of my SD card was around 49Mbps). But yes, you are right, a Class 10 card should have a max speed of ~82Mbps although I doubt you would ever realize that in real life.

Yeah, I assumed NAND flash was much faster too... it's odd! I do realize class 10 would be useless most of the time, except maybe for extreme 720p recording

On 3g, average of 4mbps download and 2.5mbps upload. Never test edge because I never feel the need to switch bands.
On wifi, I go between 18 and 23mbps down and 15 to 18mbps up.
I'll throw another one in here. FCC test from the market. It's the one I use.
A word of caution
Reg: Data Usage
App: Speed Test
Avg data usage per test: ~6MB
Audience: For people with "limited" data on.
I was puzzled to see I had close to 150 MB data consumed last noon. I was sure I wasn't downloading anything at that and all I was doing was trying out modems. Today morning I realized I was using the SpeedTest app to test the modem at that time. So I made a couple of tests using the app, using the 3G watchdog app to keep tab on data. It kinda shocked me to notice that this app was using ~6MB per test! That explains my data usage y'day. I had done more than 20 tests, to say the least, in less than an hour y'day. And then many more tests during the day and even late into night.
So now u r all warned if u r on limited plan. As for me, I am on the 2GB plan, and well, these speed tests cost me close to 300MB in just one day, y'day.

Can anyone tell me why mine is really slow? Wifi and 3g both are really bad compared to what y'all have..
Sent from my phone
It's case by case. The speed is related to your phone +ROM+ modem + environment. That's one of the reasons why there are so many (ROM, modem, kernel) combinations out there. We all look forward to the release of AT&T's Froyo source such that developers can come up with an universal solution for all.

Using the speedtest.net app, the max speed that can be reached (stable) is around 10mbps, but it flickers up to around 13mbps (unstable). And using the FCC app, it runs the exact same test as speedtest, but it has a a higher max speed and it allows me to get an accurate result.
FCC test seems to provide more stable results on my Captivate.
Speedtest.net halts while testing the upload speed under several different ROM/modem/kernel combinations.
So I've been using Fcc test.. should you set the server to the nearest location? Is that the best?
Sent from my phone
Yea, gives you better results since you're transferring data from point A to point B and back, instead of going from point A to point J and back.

wifi/3g speeds after 2.3 update

My 3G is a good bit faster now. On 2.2 the fastest speednet test I completed was around 12-13 mbits/second on 4G LTE. With the 2.3 update, I was able to get a 18 mbits recording, no problem.
I also have much faster wifi speeds now. On 2.2 my wifi was actually slower than 4G. It pulled around 10 mbits/second. After the 2.3 update, it downloads at 24 mbits/second over wifi.
Has anyone else experienced similar changes in networking performance?
Same here, 4g used to be 8-11 down now its consistently over 20. Upload used to be about 4 now its between 8-10!

[Q] WIFI 802.11ac connection speed

Hello,
can anyone tell me what is the connection speed using 802.11ac ?
i know that on GN with wifi n you cannot exceed 65mbs and i hope HTC doesn't limit the ac to a speed lower than 900mbs.
Thank you!
Damn, you're talking about 900mbps? I've got a connection of only 21 mbps
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
802.11ac is only as fast as your router and the speeds you get from your provider, and as far as I know, no provider offers 900mbps connections. I have xfinity 105 mbps package and the wifi on my iphone 5 averages 50 mbps

this is not entirely true.
google fiber has 1Gb internet solution but this is not what I'm trying to find out.
I want to know the connection speed showed in settings under wifi when you are connected to a 802.11ac router.

yes, i can use all the bandwidth from a 802.11ac and the simplest example is file sharing.
also you are not limited to 1 process so you can simultaneously do file sharing, video streaming, download, upload etc.
I am finding that the HTC One refuses to connect to my Asus RT-AC66U router. Unfortunately the AC standard being draft, I suspect its a compatibility issue. It seems to go into authentication, delay, then try again over and over.
In the end I had to connect on my 2.4GHz output instead for now.

you might be limited due to write speed on phone's memory card.
can you transfer trough ftp from your pc to the phone a large file and monitor the transfer speed?
