Epic 4g receiving 3g upload patch - Captivate Android Development

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/29/sprint-epic-4g-update-coming-tomorrow-should-fix-3g-upload-iss/
FYI. This may mean HSUPA for us as well.

Explain...

wow...my speeds with hsupa enabled on ATT are 2-3 times those speeds on sprint!

I don't think this has anything to do with the captivate. Nobody has reported any upload speed issues.

Sprint is CDMA, it has nothing to do with HSUPA.

From what I read from this the update is going to uncap SPRINT's upload.... not necessarily fix anything.
I like the i9000 Modem - just need to get it tweaked so everything works (aka Blue tooth) My speeds are phenomenal with it.

Where have you been mate?

It should be more like:
"WTF They get hsupa up speeds and we don't?!? Shenanigans I say!"

How in the world does this have anything to do with us Captivate users. CDMA is a totally different technology. HSUPA is not WiMax.
I have absolutely no issue with Cognition 2.1.5 and HSUPA enabled with Bluetooth audio quality/voice/skip tracks/ anything. on this Rom/Kernel. I am using a Moto S9-HD though, and will be getting the S10-HD when they become available in October.

[Q] t-mobile USA 4g

Hello,
i'm wondering if there's a way i can utilize the lightning fast 4g on the hd2? i'm in orlando, which is like the biggest 4g area. Is it a radio? android build? (i don't want a NAND build yet. still SD card). Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Im in orlanfo too. Trust me an nnd build is awesome. No more windows

are either of you using the 4g network? the highest speeds i get are 5mbps.

HD2 isn't 4G capable, it's HSDPA (3.5G) capable (up to 14Mbps), but that's it --- Either way, if your Mobile downloads/uploads at 600KB+/200KB+ when you're in HSDPA aren't fast enough, you wouldn't be happy with 4G because unless you're climbing halfway up the tower, you won't get 4G speeds like they advertise --- Either way, 5MB is more than enough for Mobile
OH. i thought it was.
i do understand that i'm not ganna get 14mbps, but i know people who average around ten. its crazy.

In certain parts of San Antonio I can get about 7ish, it's nice and fast but anything more isn't really going matter --- The delay will always be there, it's not like you're downloading 4GB files on your phone on a regular basis, we're talking 100MB tops and at 8Mb/s or 25Mb/s...it's going to fluctuate and it's going to have delays.

that also makes sense.
on the topic of t-mobile, what ROM do you use? i can't seem to get MMS working on mine (superRAM_sense), no matter what i try.
Hardware radio in hd2 is only capable of hsdpa 7.2mbps.. g2, mytouch 4g, and some of the new stuff 14.4mbps, rocket 4g data stick is 21.6mbps.. Again this is a limitation of the hardware.. Any speed test showing above this are false... Google is your friend!!

Is the HD7 4G capable?

No, HD7 is just an HD2 with an Evo look and a soldered on Micro-SD card that boots WP7

You are leaving out the fact that the tab is 3g only. There are too many factors that differ between the epic and the tab.

Yes... But then you are going to have the other "10%" *****ing that 4g was left out. You'd be piecing something together for the sake of well... Not too sure what exactly you'd be piecing it together for. There are already a hell of a lotta existing roms out from fantastic Devs that do everything that the rom is capable of doing sans overclock, battery life and a few extras without leaving out a primary function of the phone Just cuz it's not currently available to everyone doesn't mean that it's not a function that can be removed for the fun of it. IMO we'd be taking a huge step backward.
Not being able to overclock and undervolt to me is a huge step backward. Truthfully, for me, (cause I have 4g in my area) I'm torn between the two. The ONLY reason I don't just go back to 2.1 is because of the hardcoded gps accuracy.

Weird. When I was in the LA area around New Year's, I was able to use 4G for a while and also tethered my wife's laptop with it, and I thought it was way faster than my 3G speeds. Maybe you have a bad connection?

I call BS on this statement. I'm in NYC, the most difficult market in the US for good data speeds due to network congestion, and 4G is consistently, at minimum, 10x the speed of 3G. Not to mention latencly is usually 90% less.

I have poor 4g coverage at home but when I'm about 10-15 miles west of here I pick up strong 4g from Philadelphia. It blazing compared to 3g.. especially upstream speeds. I had pics uploading to Facebook in the blink of an eye.

When I have 4G, I usually get 6-9mbps down. I even got 4G deep inside a school building yesterday with my Epic. It was very cool. Didn't have 3G at all, but the WiMAX signal was strong and I got 8mbps down on a speed test.
4G is for real.

Using a Playstation 3 with wireless tether

Ok guys I used search but haven't found a clear cut way to do it. Unfortunately I was laid off this past week. So now it looks like I'll be spending more time on the playstaion as a reward ;-) could someone please post a way to have the playstation 3 recognize the signal of wireless tether or any other tethering apps.

...then you cannot use infrastructure mode, which the PS3 needs. It would probably be way too laggy for multiplayer anyway, just enjoy something offline.

You'll still have a high transfer rate... but your ping is going to suck, it will still be laggy.
I have it on good authority that Wireless Tether for Root is getting Infrastructure mode very soon. I emailed the dev asking for that with a feature request and he mentioned he's working on it right now for the SGS series and had asked me if i wanted to test for him.
Hold tight, it's coming soon...

You mean to tell me all this time this version of google's wifi tether worked with ps3?
Im gonna try it soon as I get home,i went back from froyo and Syndicate to stock DI18 just to use MobileAP on my newly jailbroken ps3.
Youre better off using another carrier.
On speedtest, sprint was the only one who had latency over 40ms. It was on 174ms ping. Second place was verizon with 40ms ping and surpisingly att and tmo were practically the same results at 34 and 37ms respectively....and tmo had the fastest dl speed at 800 kilobytes/s

And I do pay the tether fee

To everyone claiming "no lag"... download speed is one thing, upload speed and ping are two others. There's also a lot you may not notice but your opponents will. If people can see a difference between local wireless and wired, I'm sure they can when it is your phone...
Bonsai's v2.0 supports infrastructure mode, so give that ROM a try.

>>SPEED Test - Atrix vs. iPhone 4<<

So I tested the data Speeds of both phones (Tested in Seattle, WA area).
iPhone4 done over wifi?
eerm.... i get the feeling that iPhone test was done via WiFi. I don't even think the iPhone 4 is capable of 14Mbps downloads on anything BUT WiFi, seeing as i think that's into 4G territory... and the uploads seem quite high for 3G, too.
As for the Atrix speed tests.... we know.... the Atrix doesn't have HSUPA enabled yet... but supposedly by the end of April it should.

Thats what i originally thought would be the case an ota update or something, if it does switch to lte it better be in my area!! lol
Even if they did that though, WiMax would still be up and running for at least another two years and some of that time would overlap with the LTE. Maybe after that they can have both the high and low bands for LTE.
So they are gonna take all the way till fall to wait to begin announcing it? How many years till they implement it then? my house misses wimax by like 2-3 houses...and its fairly frustrating...considering that the others already have it fully blanketed in 4g...
As for our phones working with LTE, I doubt it..I found no indication that it will work..heck from the looks of the specifications even 1x advanced and Rev B both won't work :/..unless they did some kind of custom modification...but there is nothing in the chip specs that make it seem like its capable...

Egh. It would be good for Sprint. I'm tired of Sprint's bad reputation; and a lack of stock performance since Dan took over.
