Slow WiFi - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

I'm getting slow WiFi speeds through my S7 Edge. I'll run speed tests through speedtest.net and get abysmal results. Sub 5 Mbps. The upload is higher most times. I ran the test through my laptop and getting really close to my advertised speeds which is 60/4. Anyone else having issues with this?
Sent from the S7 Edge of the world!

My S7E has great wifi speeds, the only issue I have since the last update is constant reconnecting with wifi and data radios. With the Facebook app being the worst.

Mine one time was slow like that also. Like 5mbs
So I just forgot the network in wifi settings and then re entered my password and reconnected, then tested again. They were back into the 80s and 90s

I tried that the other day too. Didn't do anything for me so I did a factory reset and started from scratch. Seems better now.

[Q] crappy wifi performance?

I seem to only get about 200kb/s via wifi on internal networks -- other people seeing the same thing?
mine is working good here...10mb per second...
mine is fast 14.6 download 4 up
14 down consistently which is better than some of my laptops get
Mine is super fast compare to both my modded n1 and g2. Usually the phones do 4 gbps down and 1.something, the xoom doubles
The speed: 9 down and 4 up.

Download speeds are quick and speed tests match my Dell laptop.
No issues here...

i always find that when speeds let down or connectivity problem arise then reset. I reset modem, router, and laptop and then all is good in the world.
Yeah, my xoom's wifi is dropping its connections to my wireless router. I will reset everything on my home network. But I still think something is wrong. I will also try a tether from my galaxy s 4g to see if I get the same loss of connection. I will respond in the next day or two on what happens.

What are you guys using to speed test?
Mine is working.fine. reset my friend

Yeah my xoom will only load half of sites, no matter how long I wait. Wont load facebook or engadget at all. Xda works fine though.

Well, I said I would respond in the next day or two. Well, I've downloaded speedyest.net app from my tetherred phone while my wireless network was resetting. From tether: 2.60mb dl .60mb ul. From wireless network: 17.9mb dl and 2.9mb ul. No connection drops now. Things seem to be fine since resetting network and leaving it off for 10+ minutes.
Mine is working fine...way better than with 3g. Not sure about the signal of verizon in my area, my galaxy tab from tmo is faster.
I got 20M down and 1M up on my wi-fi. My Droid X can barely get 6M down and 1M up.
Not quite the same issue - my speed is fine - but I've noticed the Xoom gets 1-2 less bars of signal on WiFi in the same location than my iPhone or iPad.
It's also quite variable - depending on the orientation of the device, I watch the WiFi signal meter go up and down from 4 bars to 0, and even drop the connection. Meanwhile, my iPad is perfectly happy.
I have also noticed it's worse on 802.11n 5GHz vs 2.4GHz.
What else other than speed test.net app? Lol.
Here's a tip on how to increase your wifi performance. Not by much but it helps:
Use an aluminum foil sheet. Put the sheet behind the router and point it to where you usually use your device.
My ps3 read 92 percent, a 24 percent bump. The router is located in the living room where it has to travel through 2 walls to get to my room. My nexus and the xoom read 3 bars constantly vs 2 bars before.

2.3.5 Update - 3G Test Results! (Nexus S 4G)

My girlfriend and I both have Nexus S 4G's so I decided to update mine and leave hers at 2.3.4 until I ran some tests. Here is what I concluded after about an hour of testing at home:
Signal strength was improved by around 10db
3G download speeds were 60% faster
3G upload speeds were 40% faster
It's important to note that the Speedtest.net app does not work properly on the Nexus S 4G. To get accurate results, you should use the Speakeasy Speed Test through your phone's web browser, or, tether your computer to your phone and run any speed test from your computer.
I haven't had a chance to test 4G but I am anticipating a big improvement.

PS. Sorry for the crappy photos taken on my old Evo 4G
It's impossible to rate 3G speed performance increases based off a radio update accurately. Sprints 3G network is such a pile of crap you could get 1mb a second one minute
and this garbage the next.
I tested it a few times over an hour period and got the same results. Beyond that I don't have the time to waste running further tests.
Sorry to hear you get crappy speeds.
did you do any testing on wifi signal strength?
I was getting 2.6 mbps dl at home before update. 60% of that would be crazy. Im on miui atm and idk if im going to update if it blocks tether.

I didn't test Wifi and unfortunately I just updated her phone to 2.3.5!
Most importantly, how is the signal acquisition? One severe problem I faced is that signal is extremely patchy in areas that should not be patchy at all
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
i know it stuffed all sorts of baby unicorns into 4g speeds, previously id average 1.4 down and up.. now i get 2.6 down and 1.7 up
I installed the update via this forum and I have zero signal bars and my airave is 20 feet away if that. My wifi signal indicator jumps around from weak to strong but is mainly weak. I don't know what the deal is, I'm not trying to scare anyone. Its just annoying me.
Is there anyway I can remove this update? I've never done any kind of rooting on my nexus s 4G

OK so I did some playing around with my phone. It seems like everytime I start to make a call I immediately get 2 or 3 bars. Kinda strange.

Do you have the older airave that is only 1x data? If so, it's displaying the 3G bars when not using 1x (either sms or call). You'll never miss a call due to signal if that's the case. It used to be that way for me when I had the older unit (just got the newer 3G airave, and now it's full bars all of the time).

3G signal has become worse for me on the new Radio. I'm now stuck on 1X in my home when I used to be decent 3G.
This sucks.
I'm running rooted 2.3.5 with Matrix 4.0 kernel.
Before update:
WIFI was 4.9 down 4.3 up
4G was 3.6 down 1.5 up
3G was 325 kps down 100 up
After Update:
WIFI is 7.2 down 1.5 up
4G is 4.5 down 1.5 up
3G is 550kps down 100 up
I ran each test a few times.

My 3G speeds before were around 100kbps before the update, and around that now. Sprint is the worst carrier in the whole damn planet. I just check my Evo and it has around 300kbps tops... pathetic. Sprint if you are reading this, you ****ing SUCK
I just got 2.16 megs on my airwave. I used the speakeasy test. Before I could hardly get .8 mbps.

Why is that the case?
2.3.4
3G 300kbps-1000kbps depending on location
4G max 5.5Mbps
Wifi max 6Mbps
2.3.5
3G 500kbps-1200kbps depending on location
4G max 7.5Mbps (!!!)
Wifi max 8Mbps
It seems like to me that one person says it helps and then the next says it sucks so I think I'm just going to leave well enough for now because i have mine on Boost and really don't feel like setting up data and mms again...wouldn't be hard but from the looks of things it really doesn't look like its worth it.

Factory Image flashed to AT&T Nexus S now has weak 3G

After flashing JBQ's factory image for sojua, I have a very weak 3G signal. To the point where app downloads that were instantaneous are now unacceptably slow, moving at about < 30kb/sec.
Is anyone else seeing this? I've restored and reflashed several times. Is this the reason AT&T hasn't released the OTA? JBQ said that these factory images are exactly the same as what AT&T would release OTA...
Edit: It seems even wifi isn't that great.
I have not noticed any issues on AT&T. I'm getting full 3g bars where I got full 3g bars before. I also flashed using the factory images. I assume you are on UCKJ1 radio?
Yep, UCKJ1. I'm visually getting full bars too, but the actual speed is much slower.
What speeds are you getting?
-87 dBm 14asu strength
Network type jumps from HSDPA:9 to UMTS:3
Speedtest.net app:
1017kbps down
303kbps up
418ms ping
It could just be network conditions. I just tested and I'm getting around 3500 kbps down.
It's possible I suppose. I'll have to check later and see if it improves.
I had issues with the UCKJ1 radio too, speeds were a lot slower for me than the KB3 radio. If you can, try flashing a different radio and see if that helps. Rolling back to KB3 worked fine for me.
I'll give that a try. It's lame that I should have to though.
Hmm. K3B shows even worse performance, and downloading apps throws error code -101.
Have been experiencing this as well, just restored a nandroid of the 236->ics update and its a negligible difference between that and the factory image, both using xxkb3, I'm thinking it's just network conditions on att.
I'm going to revert back to 2.3.4 and test. I don't believe it's AT&T because it has been the same for two days and wifi seems sluggish too. It's almost unusable.

Verizon G2 internet speeds low?

My Verizon G2 has horrible wifi speeds, and all the other devices are great. My S4 could get great speeds and access from the other side of my house, and my G2 barely gets anywhere near that even 10 feet from the router. I've read that it could be related to wifi calling somehow. Can anyone diagnose the problem? I've tried multiple ROMs, all of them had the same issue. Please don't tell me to return it, that's not an option being on TWRP

If you can not solve the problem you can always return to stock and Verizon will not be the wiser. Not be wise, you have reset the router being you are having this issue on several roms, I thinking it would be a based issue with either the phone or the router.
I'm not seeing this at all. My WiFi speed/signal are comparable to my razr, range is about the same too. My internet speed on WiFi is another story though, rotten HughesNet...

Okay, I need to clarify- in WiFi settings, the G2 is telling me my wireless signal is sending 72 mbps, however when I load webpages, download apps, watch Youtube, etc it downloads incredibly slowly. It seems like something in the phone is a problem.

Have you tried resetting your router? For me, I have great connection speed and signal strength to my router, but my satellite internet speed stinks so I just usually keep 4g on at home.
Have you checked your speed through another device?

I reset it, restarted the modem, shut off the computer, even turned the strip all the way off so they weren't getting power. Restarted everything, same problem. I changed the router settings to auto band width and it seemed to get a little getter range but the speed was still slow. I thinks it's just time for a new router. It's a linksys e2000- I'm wondering if this router just doesn't play nice with newer smartphones.

Interesting.... so this could be coincidental, that it happened to go bad as soon as I got a G2. A new router would probably fix my problems?

Well, I'm not guaranteeing anything. Have you tried your d/l speeds on any other networks? I'd do that first.

Wifi on Oneplus 2 works extremely slow while it works flawlessly in S3

Hi,
I just got my Oneplus 2 yesterday. But I noticed a strange issue.
I live in a hostel where login based public wifi is provided. I have a samsung S3 which connects to the wifi even at peak hours of traffic and gives full speed at all times. But when I connect to the same wifi through my oneplus2, it barely gives any speed, even googling is not possible.
Both the devices are able to connect to the wifi with atleast 3 out of 5 bars. I don't understand why when S3 gives proper speed, at the same time oneplus2's wifi fail to perform which is relatively new. Oneplus2's wifi should atleast perform similar to S3, if not better.
BTW I am using Cyanogenmod 10.2 in S3. I've not rooted or done any configuration changes on Oneplus2 yet.
Please suggest if there is anything that I can do to improve the wifi performance on Oneplus2.
Thanks in advance!!
I'm having a somewhat similar issue. I just got my oneplus 2 today and I connected it up to a friend's beamforming router running on 5ghz ac. While an LG g3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy s4, Motorola nexus 6 all had a connectivity speed of 400-550Mbps, the oneplus 2 on the same network could only achieve a connectivity speed of 96Mbps. I'm not quite sure what is limiting it's connection. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Just got mine today and same issue. If I check as soon as it connects before IP assignment, it registers 433Mbps but as soon as IP assignment happens and traffic starts up on wifi it drops to 96Mbps. Even worse, it only achieves 10Mbps throughput while my OPO gets easily over 100Mbps throughput. Any ideas? Still stock.
I've seen the same thing here, 10mbps on speedtest with 5 GHZ wifi. Interesting thing is if I switch to 2.4GHz I can eek out 80ish, my OPO on CM 12.1 can easily max out my 150mbit connection, considering compiling CM for the OP2 and testing throughput with that to see if it's an oxygen bug (I think it is).
Same problem here. Connected to the same wifi network with my OPO, OP2, and S6 edge. Connection speed to router was 135 mbps, 86 mbps, and 400 mbps respectively. Speed test results for download were 115 mbps ,32 mbps, 172 mbps respectively. OP2 speeds are just lousy and there are no settings I can see to remove wifi optimization that usually causes issues. Tested using the same app, to the same server, all in the same room and distance from the router. I hope this isn't a result of skimping on the hardware and is software related.
I was having a similar problem on my wifi while downloading apps on my new OP2. Changed the wifi setting from DHCP to Static on my phone and im getting full speeds now. Give it a try
i dont having much knowladge of wifi connection but reception of wifi is poor on one plus two . same wifi connection is also connected with
galaxy s4 , yu yureka ,and even samsung galaxy ace dous 1st gen device have better reception than this.. if i cover place near 3.5mm jack wifi bars drops
i dont know what is going on... phone is heating even if i play clash of clan. battery capacity is enough but i dont know why battery backup is so poor.
i was happy when i ordered this phone and wait for invite for 2months now my all hapines turns into sadness after observing these types of things...
now i m thinking that i return back this phone to amazon and clam my full payment.
IĀ“ve experienced something similair, just the other way around: as soon as the OPT gets connected to my WiFi, all other devicesĀ“ connection slows down.
My one plus one is fine on 5ghz band and same with nvidia shield tab and nexus 7 but op2 sucks ass at 3mbps but as soon as I switch to 2.4ghz I can get 20mbps with lower latency

I've seen slower Wifi performance and more connectivity problems with the latest OOs version. I never saw this with previous versions of the Oxygen OS.
I can live with it for now, but I'm hoping it gets fixed in the next update.
I had the same Issue.
Clean flashing the Rom, and then flashing the kernel again made it better for me, but still not good.
In the end, giving my phone priority in the Router/modem fixed the Issue completely for me.
If u have access to your Routers interface you should try that
