I just ran a speed test on my 4g in york pennsylvania with one bar and i had 342kb/s. i did not realize how fast it really was. even thought the upload speed for some reason drops to like 50 some. my 3g speeds average is around 150 with a similar upload speed. WOW am i too excited or is this incredible for a phone? also my friend at work just texted me and claims his GayPhone4 is faster than mine we shall find out when i get there.

I like dropbox's Camera Upload feature, but quite often I find that it will saturate my internet connection and everything else on my network struggles. Especially if it is uploading video recordings off my phone. Is there a way to place a speed limit to the data upload rate? Kind of like a bandwidth limiter for Android?

My wifi is old and dodgy and whenever it gets overloaded it crashes, is there any way on android to limit the upload/download speed?

I'm developing an android video uploading app and uploading large amounts of video is a problem, I get different type of exception sometimes (host not resolved, pipe broken), I do a multipart POST but I have a feeling if I upload chunk of bytes one at at time that'll increase upload speed as well as solve connection timeout and these type of problems.

I'm curious if this is just a Sprint issue. Evo on Sprint is much faster ,so its not a network issue.
I'm having trouble uploading pictures I've taken on my DX to facebook through the "Quick Upload" option.I got a few uploaded, so I know it works, but now everytime I try, the status bad fills up all the way to "Uploading 100%" then it stalls before giving me the error "Can't send response now.Try again later."I've tried turning Wi-Fi on or off, but on both Wi-Fi and 3G it's not working.Thoughts?
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust noticed this over the past day or so... most times when I'm not near a WiFi source, my 3G kicks in but on occasion it suddenly cuts down to 1X. What causes this and are there any settings that I may want to consider to keep my speed up (without compromising battery power of course)?
View 38 Replies View RelatedPlain and simple: When the Evo is fully charged, it begins running off its battery until you plug it back in. It DOES NOT trickle charge whatsoever after it reaches 100%. When you're using your Evo on the charger, and it's showing full 100% charge, it is running off the battery, not the AC plug. And then when you unplug it, well, we all know what happens next. The battery meter drops insanely fast to the actual charge of the battery, which could be very low, depending on how long it's been sitting idle at 100% on your charger. So all those times you've charged your Evo overnight, only to take it to work the next day and be at 80% within an hour? Your Evo was running off its battery for what I'm guessing was most of the night. It takes my Evo about an hour to two hours to fully charge back to 100%. Let's say you put your Evo on the charger at 11PM, it'll reach full charge by 1AM at the latest, and then run off its battery until whenever you take it off the charger in the morning. Workarounds? 1) Turn your Evo off while it's charging. 2) If you must leave it on for an alarm clock, put it in airplane mode and end all CPU intensive tasks to minimize battery drain. 3) When you wake up, unplug it for 10-20 minutes (still experimenting with this number), and then plug it back in to top it off. Onceit reaches 100%, take it off the charger, and go about your day. Try it out for yourself. When your Evo is 100% charged, take it off the charger immediately, and I highly doubt you will lose the 10%-15% within minutes.

Problem 1: Every time my battery reaches around 50% and when I restart my phone, the battery drops to around 20%. I tried using the Battery Calibration app but it doesn't seemed to calibrate correctly.
Problem 2: Sometimes my phone just disconnect from my local phone service network. I have tried switching off the SIM card lock and toggling the airplane mode but it just doesn't search for any network. In the Settings menu, I do a manual network search but an error was display. Is it because of the ROM or kernel?
Android Version: 2.2 (but also happened on 2.1). My phone's battery level will suddenly drop to 89% even though it is still on charge. It's annoying because sometimes you'll start the day with only 89% charge instead of 100%. My friend also has a Desire but is not experiencing this problem - the only difference between them is the version of kernel. I read somewhere that is was the kernel that was the problem and somebody found a fix - xda developers - View Single Post - [DEV] Desire GSM/CDMA kernel 2.6.32 Google / 2.6.34/35 Cyanogen Mod.

TXTS not gotten, emails not coming in emails not being sent (this is when I really notice it) Power cycle the phone and presto everything is back to working.
Example, I just restarted my phone and the email that was hanging was sent the very second it started back up then 51 emails came into my inbox
Anyone else have these issues? If not I think I'm gonna have to call VZW about another phone coming my way.
Just started happening last week. I have everything up to date. Whenever I text, on my pc the app pops up and says "reconnect failed". If I click 'connect', it says to enable USB tether on the phone, which IS enabled. Whenever this happens, I need to go to the phone, turn off PDAnet and then turn it back on. Everytime. So frustrating.
Anyone else have this problem? Using it on an LG ally btw
When writing SMS / MMS in JB 4.2.2 CM 10.1 the keyboard drops and dissapears after writing about for 2-3 seconds.
You have to press the Menue botton in order to get the keyboard back, and try to write again for 2-3 seconds before it happens again!
I even tried the GO SMS Pro-app to see if that worked, but it's the same thing - keyboard drops after writing a few letters.
After charging fully my green notify light comes on and my battery says 100. But after 1 min of unplugging the usb cable it drops to 97. I have wifi on and brightness set at middle level.
View 11 Replies View RelatedThe thing they talked about the most was how GREAT the battery life is, well let me tell you. they are all a bunch of liars. Ive never had a phone with battery life as terrible as this thing. i've talked to a rep that told me "just gotta let it drain and then charge. do that a couple times and it should be fine" ok i figured that was all nonsense because she wanted me off the phone so i did that. Now did that work? no of course not. i take it off the charger and after 6 minutes and 23 seconds of use it drops down 10%, the back is pretty warm at all times. i've turned off the GPS, WIFI, and whatever else their is to turn off. Its insanely pathetic. Is anyone else having this problem, it seems like no matter what when you get a verizon phone its guaranteed to break or have a problem. I get through about 5 hours of very moderate use.

Anyone else seeing this issue? It was also happening when I was on Skyraider 2.5.2.
Connect to my secured Wi-fi network fine when the network is broadcasting (network name not "hidden"). As soon as the network is no longer broadcasting (i.e. network is changed to stop broadcasting the name), DInc drops the wi-fi connection.
Settings menu shows the name of the network is remembers from previous connection but states that it is "not in range" (and remembered).
Wi-fi network is secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK and is an Apple Airport Extreme with (b, g, n).
Anyone experience this and appreciate any suggestions which would allow the DInc to stay connected to a "closed network."
When I flash back to stock with HD2 stock rom I notice the wifi stays connected to my connectify connection until I disconnect it myself but after I flash to TyphooN_CM7_v3.8.1-MAGLDR the wireless works for about 1 minute and drops but still shows as connected on the HD2 until I disconnect and reconnect again and it repeats.
Is it a problem with connectify, the radio I flashed to is _2.15.50.14 ?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI've been overall satisfied with the phone so far, but have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer/help me with. I've looked through as many threads as I could and tried the advice I found, but still no luck. The phone seems incredibly slow all the time. I came from a Palm pre, which had issues itself, but the Hero seems so much slower. Opening apps takes time, even the phone takes time. I've installed and app killer, no luck. I've reset the phone to factory settings, no luck. I've updated preferences, deleted apps, reset phone. still nothing. I read and was told that the Hero was faster than the Pre, but mine doesn't seem that way. Wifi always drops when connected to my home router. My wife Sprint phone always stays connected, but not mine. I reset the router, disconnected and reconnected the phone, tried all advice that I could find. Nothing. Visual voicemail doesn't work with bluetooth. I was told that this may not be a phone issue, but rather that the application doesn't allow bluetooth. Can anyone confirm?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a small but very annoying issue sending texts sometimes...Basically my office has an intermittent signal so occasionally my connectivity drops. If this happens while I'm trying to send a text the message just sits there with the 'processing' animation (the spinning circle thingy) going constantly - it rarely times out and outright fails, usually just continually tries even when I'm back into a good signal area (I've even left it in a good signal area and checked hours later to find it still trying!). I've tried going in and out of airplane mode or even turning the phone off and on to try to get it to just fail so I can send again but nothing makes it give up or succeeed. When it gets into this state the only way out seems to be to delete the message and enter it again. (for info I'm using Handcent, but checking in native message service shows similar effect so don't think thats related)

When I get and answer a call, when the call ends its dropping to the people app, vs Home or where the phone was BEFORE the call.
Just wondering if I am alone in that as I find it kinda annoying.
I am able to connect to a Socket on my PC from my HTC 1 phone, via IP and successfully transfer data in a thread that gets rescheduled every few seconds. The problem is that after 15 minutes or so, the connection drops and my debug traces give me the "Network unreachable". A further clue is that if I plug in or replug in the USB cable I get reconnected.
I'm wondering what programmatic function will reconnect to the PC without having to fiddle with the USB cable. I've tried Wifimanger.reconnect and reassociate, neither did the trick. Perhaps if I knew what actions were peformmed when the usb cable is plugged in (which shouldn't have anything to do with my connection) I would be able to program them into my exception path.
