PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Pretty cool app that kartam has created over at xda-dev.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395165

Basically with this app you can test how fast your phone connection is without having to tether it to your pc and then having to load a speedtest website..

Send some feedback to improve this little cool app!

To install just extract the zip and just copy pocketspeedtest to device and run, that it.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Thanks for the heads up.
I'm going to check it out.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

btw, this app works on XP too if you have the framework installed.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Works with Vista also.....
Haven't decided how accurate it is.
On my Mogul I am getting 307 kbit/s with 2 bars,
and on my laptop wireless I'm getting 2231.7 kbit/s.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Nice little app. I'm getting 201 kbit/s. :(

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Awesome!

Averaged 573kb w/ two bars peaked at 873kb

I've been wanting this for some time.

Would love it to record peaks, and support copy from the results window.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

good little find, ive been wondering how ppl figured out their internet speeds.
661kb avg..not too bad

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

nice program, im not sure how accurate it is either since i only tried once, but i got 540.3 kbit/s average speed ^_^

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

are you using rev-a?

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Cool...I have been wondering if there was something like this available. I'm getting 649 kbit/s.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Yes sir. What i find weird is that in the past, using wmwifirouter i got 1300 down 515 up. Yesterday for no particular reason i ran speedtest.net again, but got 600 down 300 up. Then today, i tried this little app, and get 201 kbit/s. wonder if i messed up some settings or something? Sorry for taking this thread a little off course. dschoenike

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

well if all else fails, you can always make a backup, then softreset and try the speed test again. if its better you know its something you did, if not then just load your backup and wait for it to work itself out lol

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Very nice little find. Thanks for sharing with those of us who are too lazy to check two forums. I also seem to forget to go over to XDA every few days to see what is new :)

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

yeah, thats a good idea. I realize my latest upload speed wasnt fantastic (300), but that technically is rev A, right? Sorry again for the lame question. I'm feeling really stupid today. :(

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

I got 918.9 average. I seen it peak to 1387. I'm with 3 bars in a basement at work.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

you must have rev-b :headbang:

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

lol.. I dont know.. I'm in Ann Arbor right now right next to a tower.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

And No i wont resize it.. lol.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

I believe this will give you a true average as opposed to teathering. what mean is the when you are teathered to your pc the speed test is just using your device a a modem but this is a true speed test suing everything on the device to give a real and true account of speed.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

lol well maybe i gotta take an half hour drive to ann arbor and check my speed there :-p did you do any tweaks at all to get those kinds of speeds?

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

I might have to too. In the city I get only 100kb

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Nope just running almost OEM 6.1

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Lets have a PPCgeeks convention at Wastenaw County 15-c District court.. lol..

I'll check the speeds here in Walled Lake in a few.


EDIT.. slightly lower at 890kb

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

I think Kwame Stole the Rev-A from the city.. sorry bro.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

WiMAX speed test ..

kidding.. that's my home connection :mrgreen:

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

This is strange. I was getting some pretty low speeds using the pocketspeed app yesterday. (201 kbit/s) I did a hardreset, and my speeds went up (750 kbit/s) Started putting back on some programs, a few spb things, slingbox, and opera mini 4.1. Checked the test again, and i'm back down to 235 kbit/s. Anyone know why an application would bring down my test results? thanks, dschoenike

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Not sure.

I have slingbox installed, and about 15 other apps.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

well i can only assume one of the programs on your device is using the internet constantly. only explanation i can think of.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Thank you. I appreciate your insight. Since everything i use on a daily basis (slingbox, skyfire, vtap and resco radio) are working flawessly in my opinion, im not gonna worry too much about the pocketspeed results. Just wish i knew what app is slowing it down!! ;) thanks again, dschoenike

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

I finally figured out what was slowing down my data connection. It was spb gprs monitor. With it installed, i got 200kbit/s, i just uninstalled it, now im getting 800 kbit/s. grrr! I wonder why that app would slow down my data dschoenike

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Dang, I get around 200 or less kbit/s. I have the leaked 6.1 ROM, rev-a enabled shows in data parameters and I have various registry tweaks. Any suggestions? :/

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

cool and quick little app, did several tests and got results that were slower when i was holding the device vs. setting it down and pushing start. Wasn't real scientific about it in regards to recording data but did seem quicker when just placed on the desk.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

If you are running SPB GPRS Monitor, it may be slowing down your speeds:

My speeds tripled after uninstalling it.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

i love this app i get better results than trying to test thru online speed tests.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Greetings. Yeah, i had noticed that a few months back. I had installed gprs monitor when the 5gb data cap rumor for sprint started making its rounds. I couldnt for the life of me figure out why my speeds got cut in half (i installed alot of stuff around then) :) but finally guessed right when i removed gprs monitor. Just a fyi, if you go back to an earlier version of the monitor, your speeds will be fine. dschoenike

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Yup, and it's too bad the developers aren't actively trying to fix this.

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Agreed. The newer version is nicer, but not "speeds cut in half" nice. I wonder if the current versions' issues are just cdma related, or across the board? Do you happen to know? dschoenike

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

I'm not sure if it's device or carrier specific, but I was getting 200kb/s with it and up to 600kb/s without it!

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Same here. How'd you finally figure out that it was causing you the slow-down?

Re: PocketSpeedTest - test your internet speed
 

Google ;)

I noticed on other forums that people with the same phones on the same network in the same area were getting way faster speeds and then I just started searching for reasons why my Rev. A speeds would be so slow and then I saw the SPB forum listing and it clicked that it was that particular program that was causing the problems.
