G1 speeds

[orcking]

I dont have 3G Coverage , only Edge

I was getting around 200Kbps(around 25kBps) speeds with full signal

anyone can share their speeds

[uga.buga]

how do i test my speed, should i just download something?

[orcking]

www.dslreports.com has a speeds test for mobile

I get the same here in my area.. around 200kbps.. with EDGE.

[thelazzyone]

The G1 is faster because I was only getting maybe 110kbps with EDGE on my Blackberry

I have 3G, And 3 Bars.

To test i downloaded a game that was 2.10Mb

It took 25.45 Second's. around 300kbps

Getting round 770kbps in detroit with the new 3g versus 200kbps with edge

[Audemars]

I was getting ~260kbps the day after I got the phone on Edge, and the 3G was so fast it couldn't even give me a speed. LOL.

I'm up in Seattle, btw.

300kbps on 3G? No way. That can't be right.

I'm getting about 169kbps with 2 bars on edge.. I was getting 4 bars but my g1 started acting up so its going back to tmo.. will test again when I get my replacement g1.

Sometime it happens to me at home, I would be getting 4 bars and then it goes down to 3 or 2 and comes back to 4

also , I noticed when teh battery is low, you get weak signals, can anyone confirm.

and is there a way to lock the phone to one tower in my location

[kaysesoze]

but this is the thing, ive always gotten 4 bars in my house/neighborhood/city etc... all of a sudden last night it dropped down to 2 bars and then none.. did about 10 master resets, called tmo and they said send it back cause of defect...
mind you i have a tmo wing sitting right next to me on my other line that has 4 full bars and my g1 has 2bars and might get 3 at the most.. on my way to work today it lost signal completely went to no service at all... and where i live in va i get perfect coverage almost everywhere that i go except work. i would rather send it backk and reorder or pick one up at walmart for 148 dollars.

Well I did a speedtest for 3g, and I was getting around 600kbps which is very good...

[pinaytoy]

is this download speed were talking bout? if so mines 2,906kbps on inetwork test app.

I haven't been able to get on the internet at all on the g1 unless I'm connected via wifi. Everytime I try to get on using 3g it just says it has no connection. I'm supposively in a 3g coverage area as well..

no way

that's too fast

I dont trust this App

go to dslreports.com and test

I envy those of you who have 3G available. It's not in our area yet...

I've noticed the thing about the signal bars with all HTC handhelds. I normally have 1-2 bars when I'm not using my phone for anything, but once I call someone, send an SMS etc. it shoots up to 4 bars and when I'm done it goes back down. Could be a build in power saving feature, I don't know.

Just my 2 cents.

Maybe we can confirm this.

i couldnt find the test on that site. i also used mobilespeedtest.com and it gave me 2,670kbps which means i can download at 341.45kb/sec. no joke, i can provide pics if needed.

[orcking]

i did the speed test on mobilespeedtest and I am getting 2.84Mbps I dont believe that

i think their test is not accurate. try doing it from

www.dslreports.com

i am getting around 800kbps from 3G which sounds more reasonable
