Found it in the market, but it says it only supports rooted devices.

it's already been rooted, i just can't find instructions yet, all the web pages i've found are saying "coming soon" or "stay tuned" etc so its just a matter of time

Yeah, I knew that, Just meant mine isn't and that the software requires it.

I just rebooted because I was running it hard all night trying over 100 software titles, and after the reboot, it went up to 11,886 download, but dropped to 2312 upload.

I made a search and I found that is working on an unrooted devices..

Yes indeed, it DOES WORK, GREAT. So after downloading, I opened speedtest (I guess it was still open, but inactive) and my WiFi results from last night were still there, so I shook it, and heard the "shutter" sound, the did a new 3G test, and shook it and again I heard the shutter. I like this program better than Shake 'n Save. Here are the captures:

I just rebooted the phone, and did both tests over. It made little difference on 3G, though it got a little faster. On WiFi, it slowed way down from the above post, but that was done in the wee hours last night when the cable system was lightly used. I assume that is why wifi is so much slower today:

shootme works on the evo, no root. so does the led light that needed root as well. weird huh?

I'm on a weak 3G and getting 980 down and 527 up. When I switch to WiFi, I get about 6000 down and 3200 up. I think I saw 11,000 down on WiFi yesterday.

During these tests, what acts like a bottle neck? Is it the CPU or would it be the radio? I ask this because if you were to compare the Evo with any other phone on the same wi-fi network...the Evo would be still be faster is download and upload speeds.

So I was just wondering what factors into this. My guess would be the CPU but then again I thought the CPU would only matter in opening programs up and when surfing on 3G/4G.

the radio would be as illustrated by Bundo's tests. the 3G/4G connection will be slower than what the processor can handle which is why when you switch to wifi speeds go up, then that's when you see the processor bottleneck, the speeds i have below were on a Hero but connected to 15Mbps cable broadband, so you can actually see the ceiling when using high speed

holy crap! that's quick, when I had the Hero on wifi it stopped at like 4 down and 1.5 up

But say on a purely speed test. Such as Speedtest.net with the Evo and a TP2/Hero connected on the same wi-fi router.....the Evo would perform better. (As in download/upload speeds.)

It just sounded weird to me. Or maybe I just confused myself lol

In a strict speed test, they should be the same or very similar. At the speeds we are talking about, 3g/4g/wifi, the bottleneck should come at the network interface, not the CPU. At these speeds the overhead is pretty light.
