Got my S2 and loving it but having a problem with its wifi performance.
It is running slowly ie on a n network speed test gives between 0.1 and 1 MBs down upload seems fine tried different channels etc. Killed all others apps in task manager disabled background snyc, but no difference
Then tried a different wifi access point on my network with similar results so it seems to be the phone. In comparison my wifes phone is consistently around 5 times faster download speed. sucks not to be able to use my new toy properly Any ideas before it goes back?
Thanks

is your router capable of sending G and N signal at the same time? u may have to change either a setting on ya phone to just pick up G or a router setting, this wont be your phone, i work for an isp, see this all the time 1 pc or laptop is N router is N and 2nd pc is G or even B and this causes problems
Thanks for the reply changed the router to n only and the phone is the only device connected still painfully slow. Then tried b/g and the speed test is much faster. Looks like the galaxy dosn;t play nice with the n router I have (home hub 3 from bt)

Some routers with n were released with support for the draft spec. It's possible your router only supports a version of the draft n spec and thus isn't fully compatible with the SGS2 which would be full n spec compatible. Your router may have a firmware update that would give it full n spec. It would be worth a quick check.

Great information! Thank you.
It is a new router only a month old so pretty sure its not draft n. Thanks for the suggestion though

Does anyone know if the SII's N wifi works on the 5GHz band? My wifi network with my PC is solely on 5GHz as get fewer disconnections and constant speed through my fibre connection then with 2.4GHz.
Thanks
According to this it supports Dual Band:
http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-supports-dual-band-wi-fi-80211n
which was based on this
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA11164 (does not work in Chrome)
I'm thinking the wifi performance could be poor just like the wifi performance on the Samsung Nexus S phones is. The Nexus S wifi is pretty poor. Does your signal strength show it being full or weak? On the Nexus S you could be 2 feet away from the router and it would still show weak reception.

Hi guys,
I've got a question for you, my fellow Flyer users.
Recently I got a new Modem/Router from my ISP.
I installed everything and it all works without a hick up.
After the installation I tested the internet speed using the Speedtest.net site.
On both my Windows laptops an my wives Macbook the speed was excellent, about 40 Mbps download and 2.5 Mbps upload and a 15 ms ping.
Same on the Ipad 3 we have.
However, on my HTC Flyer I only get between 5 and 10 Mbps download but I do get 2.5 upload but the ping is nearly 100 ms.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be or what app I can best use to see whats up. I now think the Flyer only connects in WiFi B mode instead of G or N. And it has been doing this all the time. I used to think the browser was slow but I now think this might be the problem. Is there any way to change this forcefully?
The router is a Cisco EPC3925 and I use WPA2 TKIP-AES security. It's on channel 1, 40 Mhz wide (wide channel 5) and in 2.4 Ghz mode ...not 5 Ghz.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Martijn
Try to use channel 11....strange enough this helped me in the past when I had several problems with my wi-fi network. Otherwise you could try this....go to the wi- fi settings on you flyer, choose Advanced and then choose the first option.
Tried channel 11 and it doesn't make a difference.
Connection speed also varies alot.
My laptops and the Ipad have good speed everywhere in the house.
But the HTC only in the proximity (< 4m.) of the router. And even then it is still way slower than the other devices. If I move further from the router the speed collapses.
Best I get is about 28Mbps while the others get around 38 and up to 52 Mbps.
Shame, I had a higher expectations of the Flyer.
Next I will put my old Belkin N router in the network as access point and see what happens.
First time I ever heard anyone complain about 20Mbs. you sure you got those numbers right? Most of use don't have a ISP that can even approach that. So you will get little sympathy. Anyway ping should only be between your router and the external IP, so whats up with that? Speedtest.net is a poor way to measure device performance since there are so many factors in between. Use a local lan speed test or you might just be measuring browser speed and nothing to do with the hardware.
I've seen a similar behavior some time ago.
Here is what I've got:
Speedtest on my desktop gives me about 20-25M
I turn my Flyer on, run the test, I get 4-6M.
I turn Airplane mode on, turn it off, test the speed. I get 20-25M.
I'm guessing throughput got something to do with the sleep mode.
Hi all,
First of, I'm talking about Mbps (Mega bits per second) NOT MBs (Mega Bytes per second). Huge difference there.
And 20 Mbps is of course a good speed, but its unsteady and way slower than the other devices.
As I wrote before my Ipad and laptops never go below 35 Mbps and I'm lucky if I get the Flyer over 20 Mbps. With my ISP promissing about 50 Mbps thats a big difference.
So I'm just dissapointed with the performance of the Flyer which I thought to be a top of the line tablet.
So thats why I placed the thread. I tried the air plane mode thing and different channels, taking into account which are busy around me. But stil slower than the rest and alot of different readings between messurments. Even using my ISP speedtest app, even then same result.
But judging by the lack of respons I gather I am the only one. Pity I hoped for a solution.
Any thanks for taking the time to help me.
cheers
hiii. i hv galaxy s2 and dell xps 15, both having bluetooth 3.0. but when i transfer data through the bluetooth, it show transfer speed at d max 200 kbps . but as far as i know, bluetooth 3.0 can have a maximum of 24 MBIT/SEC transfer rate.
Can anybody tell my how to transfer data at higher speed..
thanx in advance
Same question here
To get what you want the laptop and sgs2 should both be connected to same wireless network. I suddenly noticed that. In my home wifi the transfer rate speed reaches 1mb per sec. May be in better wifi networks it increases even more...

Are you sure your computer/USB receiver supports USB 3.0?

i have also face this problem when i was using gingerbread version
from wikipedia: "Bluetooth 3.0+HS provides theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s, though not over the Bluetooth link itself. Instead, the Bluetooth link is used for negotiation and establishment, and the high data rate traffic is carried over a collocated 802.11 link."
so that's why they have to be connected to same wifi network

BT 3.0 + HS not supported by ICS
Bluetooth High Speed is not supported on ICS.
You'll get only BT 3.0 speed which is around 200-250kbps.
On gingerbread I was able to get around 2-3MB (16-24Mbps) transfer rate.

can u plz tell me that how u r getting 2-3 mbps speed on GB. i used to have gb but never got this much speed.........
Hello, I am having a problem where WiFi only negotiates the lowest speed possible. In 2.4Ghz its 1mpbs and on 5Ghz its 6mpbs. I've tried three different routers, different roms, aosp, and it always acts the same way. I also have the latest radio version 1.12.11.1210 and running HBOOT 1.12 S-Off. Any recommendations?
Try downloading something and then check your link speed to see if it goes up. I've noticed that mine seems to idle pretty low as well but then goes up to 65 or so while actively using the connection. I'm guessing it displays the current link speed as opposed to the max theoretical speed like Windows does.

Yeah I thought about that too, but it makes no difference. I even tried a speed test and it stays at 1 mbps, when all my other devices go 30+ (EVO 3D, Nexus 7, computer, TV, etc...)
I see that you have tried multiple wireless routers. Is your evo the only device connected? I ask because slower devices can cause a speed cap on your wireless.
Have you tested your modem to make sure its not the issue ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
Set your router to G only and re-test.
My router works just like yours if I have it set to multi band, (B, G, N, etc.)
When I switch it to use G only, it flies. See attached screenshots. First one is set to G only - second one is auto or multi.

I have a few other devices connected (EVO 3D, Nexus 7, laptop, PC, SMART tv) and they all work fine.
I tried mine on just N and it was sloooooooow. Only when set to G only do I get good speeds. It isn't just me either. I have seen a few post on this forum about this. That's how I learned to try it.

Well I tried setting it to G, but it was even worse. Any other suggestions? Right now 5ghz N is the most tolerable, where the lowest rate is 6 mpbs.
I'm at a loss. Good luck. Hope you get it figured out.

Try disconnecting all devices from it and testing with just your phone accessing the access point. If the speed picks up, then one of the other devices is pulling your standard low.

What type of router are you using atm? Can you toggle between 20/40 mhz channels and short/long guard intervals? Also, I'm assuming you're testing next to the router, no obstructions between it and the phone?
Sent from my EVO LTE
I would suggest turning off the security (WEP, WPA/WPA2) and see if that helps. If it does, try using different types of encryption until you find the fastest.
I get about 0.5mb/s speed on the local Wi-Fi network. I get up to 8mb/s on the computer (802.11N card). What about you? Maybe it depends on kernel/rom..?

Little answer please
Sent from my GT-I9100
You didn't get an answer because this info is easily found via a Google search Look for the SGS2 entry at Wikipedia, then follow the links to the article on the relevant WiFi standards.
Oh yeah "802.11 a/b/g/n Wifi" is it? Do you know which speed each of these letters is supposed to give..? I do, so i'm going to tell you that with 802.11n (which my router fully support) you're supposed to get up to 450mb/s. In reality you get let less, but it's still up to about 250mb/s, now you can even divide that by eight, which result in 31,25, far from 0.5 (the speed i get, if not lower, which my 1st post mention, did you read it fully..?) isn't it? Now you might see things that others don't, if so just tell me.
Hmm..?
Sent from my GT-I9100
It depends on many things. Bug in the kernel, faulty hardware, the distance from the router (phones have smaller antennae than laptops due to the size constraint, so laptops will constantly get higher strength signal than phones), faulty routers are all factors, if your phone is the only wifi device that's not getting the speed it should.
I don't know what the real life max speed of GS2 is, but I've hit somewhere between 20~50Mbps on a N router that has 1000Mbps internet connection (~750Mbps realistically, and I wasn't the only one connected to the router). So it should be able to get 8Mbps that your computer is getting, assuming the GS2 is right next to the router.
It doesn't change depending on placing.. And I can go faster when downloading. So I don't think hardware is défective..

Hello, two days ago I bought this great little thing that is X96 Mini 2GB 16GB
I had everything ready and installed but there was this one little yet huge problem which was the slow internet speed
I have 4 Mbps internet but I always got at best results 1.2 Mbps on X96 Mini
on all other devices I got the full 4Mbps so I after a LOOOONG and boring search though the internet I came up with the solution (finally)
I use D-Link 2740U 300Mbps*
.
keep in mind the things that I tried and DID NOT work for me:
1) I updated the firmware to the latest stock version (OTA) which is 20180512.
2) I flashed a custom ROM which is atvXperience by*NayamAmarshe, (if you don't know about it yet then go check it out, it made everything better and faster (EVERYTHING) and I thank him for his great work) but unfortunately it didn't solve my main problem.
3) I heard that changing the encryption type on my wifi router settings from Mixed (TKIP+AES) to AES only would solve the issue, tried that.. it was temporarily solved (30 mins) then it was back just like before.
one of the things that helped me find the solution was this, when I send something through the router to the device the speed did not pass 1.4 Mbps.. when I send something DIRECTLY the speed was normal (20 Mbps or even more)
so the key thing is in the router settings, nothing is wrong on the devices side
I started playing with the router settings till I finally finally GOT TO THE POINT
THE SOLUTION IS:
you need to change the WiFI Band from 2.4 Ghz (B+G+N) TO 2.4 Ghz (B) OR 2.4 Ghz (B+G)
after changing this setting I was able to get my full router speed at all times no matter how far the device is from the router (6 meters is the distance that I am dealing with)
the problem is that the N stands for newer bands which is okay and supported in most devices but not totally on X96 mini, so when the router detects that a device is using an older band, it kinda sets the priority to the newer devices (that's what I understood from a small article explaining the difference among these bands)
anyways I am very happy to see my X96 Mini buffering 1080p YouTube videos without a glitch (yes atvXperienve gives you 1080p YouTube playback) and I wanted to share my Xperience with you
have a good day.. *Bye

This can be done by modding the /system/etc/wifi confirguration files
My poison rom for example has additional modifications thus why the big speed increase.
Functions like checksum offloading, timeouts etc are all optimized

Could you share the modified files for x905w chips? We can just swap them with the original ones and we are good to go..
BTW thanks for the info
I'm super keen to know some tips on modding the wifi config file as I have the same problem. I had to run another wifi network via my router (which I had turned off) instead of using my ubiquiti AP as I cannot change the band settings on the AP. 2 networks at home is not my ideal setup.
Ricky Divjakovski can you provide an insight at all??
Thanks
My router won't allow me to do just B/G. The x96 has been slower that ever. Can we actually mod the wifi config file to help?

Hello,
So I recently made a first time purchase of android box H96 Max X2.
All is fine, however I noticed the wifi speed is really slow. The speed test shows I'm getting 4 mbps instead of the normal 35 mbps I'm getting from other devices.
I'm pretty sure its due to the weak wifi antennae in the box. My question is, can I plug in a USB Wifi adapter? Will it be compatible with the box?
Many Thanks,
I tried 2 USB WiFi dongles ,EDUP & Mediatec .
BOX doesn't see them
