I have LTE turned on in my area and when I use my wireless tether for root users I get awesome speeds between 2-3MBps but after about 150-200MB downloaded those speeds immediately drop off to just 10-20k or so. Now I rarely go over the 5GB soft cap and even when I do it's only by a few hundred MBs. Is there some sort of throttling going on and any way to stop it?
It has been discussed actually (and with that application), but anyways, at least you tried
Assuming your speeds are bad due to one application isnt exactly a very good test (more so since you did not say what version of the application you are running since that could matter). If you want to be certain, try internet connection mode via usb and download a test file from a location around you, such as from one of these data centers http://www.linode.com/speedtest/ and watch the speed. Doing that, you can eliminate plenty of variables, like the wifi connection on either end acting up for whatever reason and the application.
If it stays constant, then it's the app. If it doesn't, well that's not a 100% indication either. LTE is unstable speeds will fluctuate. If you're only testing from one location, that's not a very good conclusion either.
Whenever you have a problem, try to go through the total process of elimination only focusing on one variable at a time and try to keep everything else the same. Most likely it's you or the current setup on your phone or the application, not verizon. How do I know this? Because many have downloaded way more than you have and haven't been throttled (just from people I know locally with an LTE enabled phone).
Exusting all possible outcomes is a much better conclusion than wildly guessing you are being throttled though.
Another way you can test directly on your phone:
1) open up the terminal
2) type the 3 lines below: (downloads a file, gets the time it took and then removes it after)
cd /mnt/sdcard
time wget http://207.192.68.6/100MB-newark.bin
rm 100MB-newark.bin
*if the above doesn't work, then you need busybox, but nearly every rom/kernel has it that's not stock, so you should by default, have it. If not, search in the market for busybox installer. The reason you see an ip there is wget doesnt play well with hostnames on the android due to the way it resolves domains and busybox generally being statically linked. If you want to try another url, you have to get the ip like above (you can do that by pinging the hostname on your phone).
3)Note "real" the time it took in seconds and divide 100 by that to get Megabytes per second (MBps not Mbps) or by 102400 to get Kilobytes per second (I suppose you could get Megabits, but that's a pretty pointless measurement other than making your connection look fast compared to saying bytes, since your files all appear in bytes and browser downloads show in bytes). If you really care about mbps, multiple what you did above already by 8.
4) when it finishes you have an answer totally on your phone alone.

I believe there is a problem with the "Wireless Tether" app. I don't think it plays well with the 4G, this could be a reason for it. Have you tried used the "Mobile Hotspot" app, that comes with the phone? Do you get the same results?
I have also used the stock mobile hotspot app as well as tether via usb and get the same result. For clarification... I am downloading large files (500mb or larger) from a work server so I know that it's a problem on my phone end and not a problem on the server end. I can be on my home computer and download the files and never drop below 5MBps download the whole time... usually never drop below 10MBps to be honest.
Android police says that the way wireless tether works.. there is no way to tell if you're tethering or not without digging deep into packets.. deep enough that it would be invasion of privacy

That's all good and well but there is definitely something going on here. I've run the same test same file all 3 ways once every 4 hours since my first post and at about 150-200mb downloaded my speeds drop to almost non existent and the same goes for files downloaded from Microsoft and Google among others. Downloading the same file from my home internet does not see this slow down at all. I've even tried letting it run for over an hour like that to see if it was something temporary. It seems to stay throttled down till I've let the phone sit for a few hours without using any data then kicks back up to normal speeds until I restart another large download.
Is there any way to do a more controlled experiment to see if I'm crazy, unique or what?

yeah...backup your current rom, flash and restore your phone back to near stock (still rooted) and try without any meddling (custom stuff) http://www.multiupload.com/26WG1UZCXR http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
you also never mentioned what android version and rom you are currently using. if it's anything other than froyo, that could be your problem since nothing else is anywhere as stable (by stable, i dont mean "oh it works" i mean as in tested throughly and was put out for non testing release).
Though the above suggestions stated above likely are the culprit, and will help you...there is also a chance that you are indeed being throttled occasionally. Infact, I'm sure we all have been. Verizon has several manned data centers throughout the state who monitor all the traffic happening, and can, and will, activately manupulate the speeds, thoroughput, etc depending on how conjestion things are. And yes, they can even pinpoint it on an individual level...though they rarely do that, tending to focus on what's happening on a more macro level.
I actually wasn't even aware of this until recently, but some guy who worked at Verizon who was also in school for that sort of thing let it slip when we started chatting for a second, to which he received a scathing look from the ***** manager, so that ended the conversation.
I was running DasBAMF 1.6.3 and I did return to stock without root this morning to try it out that way as well and I'm still seeing the same results.

Find someone else with a 4g device and have them download next to you at the same time. Only other option I can think of doing.
I'll try that.
Update:
I got with a few friends and tried a few different things. 3 people with Thunderbolts and 2 with Droid Charge. 2 in Seattle and 3 in Spokane. The Thunderbolts rooted and running DasBAMF 1.6.3 and the Charges fully stock. We tried the download using 3 methods for the TBolt's (wireless tether for root, mobile hotspot and USB tether) and the Charges used the mobile hotspot.
We all downloaded the same files. A 512mb video file, 400mb zipped picture file and a 300mb document file.
My Seattle friends who have had the "official" 4G LTE launch had no issues downloading at all... 1 TBolt and 1 Charge. Download went smoothly and never throttled down at all.
All 3 of us here in Spokane saw the same throttling going on. Could this be more an effect of LTE not being "officially" deployed in Spokane yet? It's not supposed to be officially launched till June 19th but we've been able to access it for several weeks now.

I would say that's a possibility. I get around 130 kbit/sec down, and LTE was officially launched here in december but only at our airport. I've been checking for nearly two weeks now and it's stayed the same. the upload is normal, was 3.5mbit/sec today.
This is all good to know. I'll be in Seattle next week for work. Can't wait to have 4G for a week

i've searched and searched and can't find a related post to my problem. I have a CDMA touch pro (obviously) running merdins newest (i think) rom and i've tried three different radios. i connect my phone via usb using ICS hacks and using WMWifirouter my connection seems to work great. I go to speedtest.xxx whatever the one is that everyone posts the picture with and i get speeds from anywhere from 1000kb and 1200kb. That seems like the average most people also get, but when i download anything i can only seem to reach 100to 150kb pretty steadily. I also use a download manager sometimes and that has an automatic speed regulator and it shows my max bandwith available and that jumps between an average of 700kb to 1200kb but never gets under 500kb. Now i know its not the sites i'm downloading from because when i am d/ling anything i my surfing is very very very slow so i'm obviously using all the bandwith available. Now is this normal due to it being a cell connection?? if it is than i don't understand why everyone posts their phones internet speed because i could do the same when i know i'm only getting 150kb or so, or is it an issue that other people have and is fixable. ohh and i also had the same issue using the wifi connection thats why i began to use the usb because i thought it might be faster. sorry for the super long message but i would appreciate any help, thankx
ohh i forgot
i don't know if it makes a diff but my service is through sprint. thankx again
EDIT: first off i didn't realize that i could edit my old post instead of making a new one. (i'm new at forums)
for everyone who wasted time to read my thread sorry. i think i figured it out. the speed tests are in kilobits not bytes and that is the issue. i guess i just thought my service should be faster. i've read posts of people claiming to get download speeds of about 300kbs. Still if anyone knows how to increase my speed please let me know. thanks
Ok, so I do not have internet at my house so my phone is my primary internet source via Wired Tether 1.4. Normally I can stay connected to data(3G) for about 30 to 45 minutes and then it will just shut off. Then when it shuts off I just pull down the notification bar and put it in airplane mode for a second or two then data restarts fine. I use my data heavyish if you want to say. (Youtube, XDA, Facebook, email and everything else you normally do) My signal is a solid 2 bars. I have tried *228 opt 1&2 and also swapping radios. Did not seem to help. Could be signal but just not to sure considering I can DL around 1mb/s
If it makes a difference I'm using Shed's 2.0 GSB w/2.42.01.04.27 radio and conaps unreleased kernel which generaly I keep oc'd at 729
It isn't a giant issue, its just kinda annoying.
Also I've attached the speedtest.net results for proof of speed.

I have a lot of experience with tethering as it was my only home internet for about six months until several weeks ago, finally (thank the lords of cobol - ugh, did I say that).
I have tried just about every snake oil imaginable to get tethering to work better, including switching back and forth from wifi to wired tethering. Sometimes it seemed for a while that one (usually WIFI) would work better than the other, but that would only last so long, too.
The longest I hardly ever had a problem with it continuously connected was actually about a week straight if I remember correctly. That was the best I ever had. The worse was disconnects every few minutes, or just as soon as I continued interrupted downloads after re-tethering.
My favorite and most common snake oil was using an app called APN OnOff to reset the APN to default. For practical purposes, it probably effectively did the same thing as you using Airplane mode, which I thought I had tried but I didn't think it worked as well for me, or even at all. Even after using APN OnOff, most of the time I had to reboot as well.
I had tried one without the other and it seemed like it required both for my tethering to work "reliably" again. I use that term loosely, of course.
I was using over 30GB per month data at my highest tethering use, and it was probably only that "low" because of the frustration and difficulty in depending on it.
I download A LOT so it really sucked at times, but it was better than dial up...sometimes.
I will say that one definite improvement was using Cyanogen Mod (v6.x and above) based ROMs which have support for built in WIFI tethering widget and using apps off the internet to use CM's built in wired tethering as well. These are implemented differently than the "old" Wired and Wireless tethering for root apps.
I highly recommend you explore them. One major difference, for me (and I tethered to two computers, my own and my girlfriends) was just how fast even the wired tethering would connect to the computer once I started it, versus wired tethering for root. Wireless tethering also turned on and off and actually connected much faster.
If you've never wireless tethered before, in my experience if you're going to depend on it at home constantly like I did, I kept it plugged in constantly anyway because it used a LOT of battery, and I also took the battery cover out (besides taking the Eris out of my body glove case I use) and kept a fan blowing on it to keep it's temperature down.
If you do decide to try this way, like I said, CM6.x+ includes "notification power widgets", which are widgets built into the pull down notification bar. They include a WIFI tethering widget but for some reason not a wired one. There is an app on the market called "Tethering Widget", though, which has both single widgets and widgets for both functions, in case you decide to try it's tethering ability.
Edit: I'm half asleep so forgive me for not paying attention that you're already on a CM7 ROM just like me, much less that I know you've been active in the GSB thread recently.
Lol sleep is a must for most if us. Idk, like I said its not that big a deal. Its just rather annoying. Expecially when trying to download junk. I'm familiar with wireless tether for root and my thoughts are that is a useful app when "out and about". But for home use I don't prefer it at all do to the heat and it seems that over a session of use it looses its speed. Almost as if its idling down. That is majorly why I prefer wired tether. Cool battery and it maintains speed. Idk. I guess it could also be some code somewhere that prevents extended periods of use OR it could be just the limitations of the phones hardware. Might have to run logcat and see if I can get anything to come up on the disconnect. Can wt and lg be ran at the same time? Guess we'll see.

What's lg? If you're talking about two different methods of tethering, no. You can have as many ways of tethering installed at the same time, but you'll only be able to actually use one of the ways at a time. Let me know if you try Gingerbread/CM7's native tethering instead of the "for root" apps and if it treats you any better, as it did me in general.

I hope you have luck finding out something useful!
just got the atrix and when i download stuff over wifi its almost the exact same speed as if it was downloading over the network. i turned data off and only used wifi and still its slow as hell. my incredible doesnt do this so i know its not an issue with my router. could i have gotten a bad phone? ive only seen like 1 thread asking about slow wifi download so maybe i did?

My wifi is fast.
What is your carrier, what firmware are you on, and what have you done to your phone (if anything at all).
Att I just signed up 4 days ago. I'm on stock 83 firmware. I'd did root it just so I could sideload apps
I'm guessing it's should get a replacment. The wifi shouldn't be like this
I would simply unroot it and trade it for a new one if I were in your situation at an ATT store.
Good luck
why dont you do some speed tests with the app to quantify your slow speeds. then compare to speeds from other atrix owners so you can judge based on the numbers.
its def a problem with the phone. my speed test are about 8 mb/s but anything i download from the internet or market its about 250 kb/s. my incredible will download anything on wifi at about 1 mb/s. i even just put greyblur on and changing roms doesn't do anything

4.1.83 and older firmware on teh atrix has a stupid market cap that limits download speed to a few hundred kb/s. the newer gingerbread builds removed this cap. im not sure about the download speed from the internet though, can you watch youtube vids on 720p on your atrix using your wifi without lagging?
yep just loaded up a couple hq videos and they run perfect
I got my Note three days ago and I'm at 600Mb data usage.
Of course I've been setting it up but decided to look at the usage.
All the big Mb listings are "Sent"
They all look like this
03/27 08:28 PM pta Internet/MEdia Net Sent 128291KB
That particular one was right when I got the phone.
Last night there was one at 11:33pm for 24mB
I was asleep.....but had the phone charging so Data was turned on....
Anything 'received' is small. So I don't understand why apps arent showing up....
I checked mail,etc and there is nothing that warrants a 24Mb upload that I can tell.
Any ideas? How could I find out within my phone?
Thanks
One of your gapps could have updated or the yellow pages app. Tgats what happened to me i had mine for 3 days as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That's pretty scary - especially w/ the throttling cap looming! If you find out what is going on, please share.
The data usage report doesn't happen to be in a different time-zone, does it? (11:33p actually being your 9:33p or something)
Ok just uninstalled yellow pages.
Even if the time is off I haven't sent anything that big.
Actually nothing but texts, text emails and maybe one pic.
That 126mb is ridiculous. I can understand some syncing at first startup but that much????
I would also expect a lot more as 'receive' because i had to download all my apps.
I know last night I downloaded one of the s pen apps that was 30mb and that doesn't show up.
Does 'sent' really mean 'receive' as most of us would perceive?
But that was many hours before that date stamp. BTW the texts I got match up with the times posted so it's not off.
The only thing 'good' about this is they put me on this month's cycle. So I have 3gb til sunday
Hence the reason I downloaded that 30mb app through LTE (which by the way showed no status, it was just bam! ----installing! LOVE IT)
The reason I got to looking was I was curious about how much data speedtest.net uses each time. Attached is the one from this morning (Beautiful!)
But it never showed up on my data usage.....
8o lucky haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I went ahead and called....
It seems they aren't really sure about these things.
It took awhile and they still seem a bit foggy on how this works.
PTA is supposedly a generic input for LTE data usage.
I had to google that to find out, not the tech support person.
I asked why it says 'sent' and why it did it when I was asleep.
After talking to the manager, the best answer they gave me was that each 'session' will compile the data then once it's over send it up.
So 'sent' means what I downloaded...go figure.
I still thought it was excessive despite downloading apps etc.
I can't get back on my VZW account (they waste no time kicking you off) but I had checked and I was only using 2Gb/month consistently.
I downloaded a data tracker app and then downloaded a 30mb app from the market. It recorded that just fine.
I use Dolphin Browser HD and went to www.androidcentral.com which has all sorts of graphics. I have the user set to 'desktop' so it's the full version webpage, just like i had it on my tbolt. That page was 3Mb!! So I opened the stock browser and did the same thing....3Mb....
If browsing the internet chews this much I'm screwed. I think my phone might be measuring data strangely or I would have seen massive usage on VZW. I went back to check because I wanted to know if it was 20Gb instead of 2Gb but that's highly unlikely.
My next step is to have a friend who has the tbolt on VZW and LTE to do the same thing and see if it records 3Mb.
I don't want to be a slave to watching my data consumption......
If anyone that uses LTE could check their data usage it would be good to see if you get PTA as a line item with some high hits....
Similar situation. I got the Note just over a month ago. While on my Evo3D and Evo 4G, I never went over 2GB, even though I watched tons of youtube in HQ, tethered, and surfed a lot of internet. My first month with AT&T, I almost hit the 3GB cap within the first 2 weeks with pretty much the same useage(actually probably less useage). Not sure if I have a rogue app somewhere.
I had a friend on Tmobile 4G (sensation) do the same thing and his 1.5Mb to my 3Mb. I also had VZW LTE (tbolt) do the same and his was about 3Mb.
Now that's not a very good test actually. I guess I need to find a web page with an exact Mb size.
After downloading the data usage app I can see the main hogs. I watched a youtube video through Dolphin and it jumped 40Mb....
Just browsing through the market will gobble some up and of course downloading apps. The apps seem 1 for 1 meaning its the same size. I don't know if there is something else when streaming data or browsing data.
Anroid OS + others is also a main chunk
I was happy to see my email and texting apps don't use diddly squat....
I took a screenshot of the data use. this is just this afternoon and while I was working. The 'Web' is the default browser loading one page....
Basically, I should use wifi for downloading apps and watching videos....sucks.
I never worried about it on my Tbolt and was grandfathered unlimited but for whatever reason it didn't chew that kind of data up.
The whole reason I started looking was to see how much data the speedtest uses. Now I know. Each test is 19mb.so I guess I wont do those any more.....basically the 3gb plan means 100mb a day....
Do you guys send /receive mms at all? I think that counts but not sure
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Well tracking usage from 1pm on I used 100Mb with my internet browser.
It just seems excessive.....I'm really wondering if there is an LTE calculation in there....
Just to come to XDA straight to the NOTE main forum, then this subforum and then to this thread is 1.5Mb
I like to constantly poke in to my favorite websites throughout the day. Now this is going to make me hesitant and that ruins the experience.
I'll defintely only download files and apps via wifi or computer.
Opera mini compresses the data on their side before it gets to the phone, reducing data consumption on your plan.
I think it's Opera mini...you have to read the descriptions of their two browsers to make sure.
I tether a lot on my phone, I’m not using foxfi or any third party, I’m using the stock built in one. While i was on ICS i was getting tethered speeds of around 3-6mb down and 2-4mb up and ping from 60-80.
i made the switch to the pulled OTA jelly bean two days ago and i was tethering yesterday and i noticed it was going extremely slow, so i thought, oh maybe I’m on 3g right now, checked the phone, i was on 4g. Restarted phone, and started to do speed test. I was getting high pings of around 120-150 down of .5-.8mb and up of about .2mb
Thought was due to high traffic, so i run speed test today on my computers and the results are the same. Ran speed test on phone I’m getting 50-70 ping 2-4 down 1-3 up.
I did read online that other phones (not razrz) had this issue when going to JB as well. But all the ones I was reading were from people on roms, so I don’t know if this is the same.
I’m going to continue to test speeds every day to see if there is any improvement just in case it is heavy traffic due to new Christmas phones and shenanigans.
I was wondering if anyone one else is experiencing this or can test it as well. Any suggestions and/or comments?
Interesting Can you tell me more?

Are you roooted on JB now, or not? If rooted...can you try Wifi Tether for Rooted Users and compare the performance you get? That is one suggestion. I am holding off on JB because of big questions on tethering performance and stability (compared to FoxFI/ICS)
Root checker says I'm not rooted. I'm still using rooted apps like titanium and SQL. Su is still granting permission to apps so I would say yes I'm rooted. I voodoo befor coming over. I'll try some third parties. I was gonna try foxfi but that's not working at this moment

I have read no reports that FoxFi works with JB (rooted or not). I pretty confident you will need to try the Wifi for rooted users app, not FoxFi.
agreed. well i ran some speed test today and im back to normal speeds again so it must ahve been holiday related for my crappy tethering speeds. i spoke with a verizon rep anyways and they are sending me a new phone anyways, but i ran several speed test today while tetherd and im around 70 ping 5-6mb down 1-2 up. so its all good
