IE Speed with 3.0.1

[bbrookfield]

First post and I did search to see if anyone reported this and did not find any posts. I updated to Black 2.5 from OEM rom and noticed that when I did repeated measurements of netspeed using DSL Reports Speed Test (Mobile) I was getting a consistant 800-900 Kbit/sec. After upgrade it appears to be about 300-500 Kbit/Sec. I stream using ORB (TV, Video's & Mp3's). A lot more buffering with 3.0.1. I have tried setting Temp internet to Main memory and SD card with no difference noted. I am using Wap.ingular AP. Any thoughts on why 3.0.1 appears to be slower. I did not change the Radio rom 1.16.00.00

I also do not see any speed difference between 2.5 and 3.0.1, but a bug difference from ther OEM rom.

Thanks. BTW sent $ to JasJamming for his awsome ROM.

First, Welcome to XDA-Dev

Remember to read the wiki before posting new threads because chances are the problem you are having has already been discussed several times.

Your network speed is due to several factors which include network traffic. What time of day were you doing your tests? Generally with these roms its best to go with the upgraded radio that actually may help.

[bbrookfield]

I ran over 50 tests on both roms over several days. I guess that it may be a coincidence that on the days I was ruining 2.5 it was less congested and over the last 2 days it was more, but the difference was dramatic. You suggested I upgrade the radio. Do you have a recomendation?

Since the Core modules of wm6 were updated between 2.5 and 3.0 I was just wondering if other had similar results or is it just me (Wife says it just me)

Use isp.cingular instead to bypass the proxy.

Do you have HSDPA enabled? I think it's enabled by default on Black 3 but I can't remember for sure. I haven't done speed tests, so I don't know if that could be the problem or not.

What is the difference with isp.cingular?

i tried doing this, and it won't even connect anymore here are my settings

AP : isp.cingular
UN : ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
PW : CINGULAR1

It says it can't connect using this.
If i switch it back to
AP : wap.cingular
UN : WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
PW : CINGULAR1
It woprks fine. Anyone else notice this? Am I missing something here?
Both using IP header compression

i used to use these setting, but on the wap.cingular setting i would set my proxy to wireless.cingular.com. That looks right and you should be able to connect with those settings. Personally I just use the cab provided here and under select network I use medianet connection.

It would be nice to get some feedback if it is any faster or slower than isp.cingular. I believe it is the same speed. I use the medianet connection(wap.cingular) because it enables me to do cingular video.

In addition, I use opera browser 8.65 and in my opinion its faster than PIE.

Thanks goes out to wpbear for the cab

your AP : "isp.cingular" should be "wap.cingular"

Everything else is fine unless you want to put in MEdia Net.
AP : wap.cingular
UN : WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
PW : CINGULAR1
Then you would want to set your Proxy up,
Check : The network connects to the internet
Advanced : Click "HTTP" and put in "wireless.cingular.com" Port "80" Click OK
Click "Socks" and put in "localhost" Port "1080" Click OK to get out and should be set up.

Make sure that both your "isp.cingular" and "wap.cingular" have a check mark on the proxy that says ; "The network connects to the internet"
between those 3 settings you should get you connected. I use ISP

isp.cingular is a valid setting dude.

Actually I have the same problem. wap.cingular works but isp.cingular does not work. I tried so many times but with this ROM it just wont work.

It is for GSM Dial up. what plan do you have? Cingular has very confusing data plans. Be careful, these servers should not be interchangeable, it should depend on your plan. You may get charged per byte if you are not on the unlimited plan. So, make sure you're setting the right server.

GSM Dial Up connection
Phone Number: 19171234567
Username: ISP@CINGULAR.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

or

GPRS Internet service
Access point: ISP.CINGULAR
User name: ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

or

ISP.CINGULAR
IPS@CINGULARGPRS.COM
CINGULAR1

Also dependes on the type of data plan you have. I have the PDA Connect Plan.

Check it out from the cingy web how to set up your 8525. don't believe, check it out.

No one answered me in the LVSW thread, but I was having strance IE problems with isp.cingular on that ROM. Low and behold I switched to black 3.01 and still had it (previious settings worked fine in Black 2.0)

Then I solved it... To fix the problem use the most recent settings in the cingular cab file at the beginning of this thread. then change the settings to isp.cingular.

Looks like there is some problem with DNS in these newest ROMs with PIE. If you look closely, the cab in this thread hard codes the DNS. Wala, then it works.

With old cabs or if you try to do the setting yourself you won't be able to connect with PIE but you will with Opera and other internet apps such as live. Setting the DNS yourself should also work, but there is an easy cab to do it so why bother.

I have the cab setup. I noticed he put in a server address. I set up MEdia Net and another ISP setting according to my plan and my ISP setting works the best. With the server address put in it stahls a little then connects as MEdia Net just is slower. You cannot connect WI-Fi with Media Net on...at least not for me

[vp3G]

You cannot connect WI-Fi with Media Net on...at least not for meBecause MEdia Net has a proxy set. You'll have the same problem when trying to browse via ActiveSync unless you change to My ISP. Or the proxy disable/restore stuff that's part the latest cingy WM5 and also adapted by CUSTEL to WM6 works quite well and precludes the need to change networks in order to bypass the proxy.

I'll also note that isp.cingular is only valid for PDA connect plans... if you have a MEdia Net plan you must use wap.cingular

[Pumpiron579]

Yep, I think this is the problem that a lot of people are blaming on the ROM. Maybe JJ should just come out with a Cingy also.
