Iphone4s network speed slow on EDGE and GPRS

I have noticed that Iphone4s network speed is unbearably slow on EDGE and GPRS. Even my iphone 3G was faster.

And what medium are you using to make this connection?
Is this the medium that is at the top of the list of interfaces in System Preferences > Network ??
Are you using a Firewall on your Mac in additon to DHCP provided by your Router?

    thanks guys from response,
    @ airrocher: flightmode disable also the phone connection (phone calls) as far as i know, and that's not what i want to do.
    @tamara: could you confirm, that edge or gprs disabling brings no longer battery lifetime? my main problem on 3 gs is the battery time. so i thought disabling edge and gprs saves battery, as well as 3G does.

  • Poor network speed with 1st generation time capsule and multiple airport express 5Ghz. My network speed slows to a crawl when not close to the time capsule. I get the range that I need, but the speed is painfully slow.

    Hello,
    I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
    After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
    In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
    As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
    Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • Why are Tiger Connection Speeds Slower than Jaguar and PCs?

    There is no doubt in my mind that Tiger (10.4.5 and 10.4.6 in my experience) connects to the Internet at speeds which are 20-25% slower than the speeds attained in Jaguar (I have no personal experience with Panther) and by PCs.
    I have tested speeds at testmy.net and speakeasy.net on my Mac Mini running 10.4.6 (and before that 10.4.5), my iBook running 10.2.8, and my Dell Dimension 8250 running Windows XP. The iBook and Dell consistently measure 3400-3550 Kbps on a wireless connection to a LinkSys router and cable modem, whereas the Mini measures 2600-2900 Kbps (and sometimes much slower.) All three computers are next to one another, connecting to the same router and cable modem.
    These results are very consistent over dozens of trials over a long period of time. They are not an aberration.
    Any explanations or fixes? I have turned off IPv6, manually entered DNS servers in TCP/IP, tweaked settings with RMAC and Cocktail, but none of it has made a lasting difference. Interestingly, I have on a very few occasions found a speedup to PC and Jaguar levels on the first speed test only, after some of the listed adjustments.

    Im marking this as answered even though it isn't, just to get it off the list of unresolved questions, where it has gathered dust for many months.

  • Time-Capsule Network Speed slows down

    The TC will work fine for about a week and then inexplicably begins to communicate at a very slow rate over the wireless network. If I cycle power on the TC,, it will resume normal performance for about a week, and then slow down again.
    I've taken to monitoring the TC wireless speed using the airport utility. My airport devices will operate normally at about 54 Mbps and my PC clients at about 113 Mbps (I have Netgear N cards in the PCs that operate at about 108 Mbps). When the performance drops, my Mac devices will drop to around 5Mbps and the PCs will drop to 54 Mbps. Performance will continue to degrade until everything is running at 1 to 5 Mbps. I reboot the TC and everything returns to normal for another week.
    Any thoughts as to what could be causing this?

    Hi and welcome to the forums.
    I'm not a wireless expert, but after having wireless networks at home for more than 5 years with Apple stuffI made some observations.
    First, there might be issues with other networks in your neighbourhood. Many posts suggest that there should be at least 5 channels between wireless networks, e.g. 1 - 6 - 11. Set it with AirPort Utility.
    Second, something called "noise" from other electronic equipment as microwave ovens and machinery.
    Thirdly, having different types of equipment's and networks and speeds mixed together might not make the best network. We have the Time Machine set as working in the 5Ghz area with only the "n" protocol, while another device from the Internet Service Provider broadcasts in the slower bandwidth. In this way the slower wireless computers are running on their own net.
    Fourthly, reception of the wireless network can be an issue. One older PC has been provided with an extra antenna, and that helped a lot with an nearly 100% increase in speed for that machine.

  • Broadband speed of 0.3Mb and yet BT wholesale test...

    Frustration at BT Broadband
    For the past 10 months DSL was fine, a reasonably steady 3.5 Mb speed. Then for most of last week our BT Broadband connection seemed very slow indeed. Websites were sluginsh and the whole network was slow. A call to BT resulted in them claiming that the network performance was just perfect. Using the BT Wholesale DSL speed test resulted in a test to the router of 4.3Mb.
    Then on Saturday the network ground to a halt. Websites would not load and the concept of using the BBC iPlayer for television was alien. After an hour of buffering the iPlayer had downloaded enough content for 6 seconds. Amusingly enough the test programme was the Great Invention series on Communication.
    The BT Speedtest refuse to load let alone run. A swift call to BT confirmed a problem that would be rectified.
    On Monday BT called to close the call as they regarded the fault as fixed. This is where things get interesting. The performance still seemed super slow, file transfers were taking a huge amount of time and video on YouTube impossible.
    I have used two DSL testing sites for some time as well as an iPad app. These tests are run on a Dell PC running Win7 64Bit with 8GB of RAM, by most standards a reasonable to good PC connected to the BT router with Ethernet cable.
    DSL reports showed 30K and then 134K. Speedtest.net. showed: 0.29 Meg. QIP Speed Test on an iPAD . recorded 0.3 Mg.
    So in summary three different systems show a network speed of about 300K and yet BT claim this is a 4.2Mb connection.
    How can this be?

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

  • Edge and tracking discussion

    I am hoping to get a thread started where we can discuss ideas for making Edge Animate the go to app to replace Flash Rich Media. As someone who came from an HTML/CSS background prior to learning Flash, I was into HTML5 type content before HTML5 was a thing, using jQuery.
    Has anyone implemented Google Tag Manager to capture metrics? Because I am doing lots of iframed content in my Edge compositions, I am especially interested in capturing clicks, hovers, and time metrics.

    thanks guys from response,

  • Quicktime and edge vs. gprs

    I have two quick questions.
    1) Is there a way to play videos from safari on iPhone's built in quicktime? When i tap on an audio bit through safari, it downloads and plays it in quicktime as if it were a video, but if i tap on a video clip, safari says it can't play the video (these videos all play on my computer as quicktime files).
    2) In my house I rarely get EDGE service. I usually have about 4 or 5 bars with GPRS service. Everything still works fine with the GPRS but what are the differences between these two?
    Thanks!
    ~Dan

    actorkid2215,
    Patience. Everyone who replies to posts does so voluntarily.
    First, GPRS is much slower than EDGE. Typically EDGE speeds will be between 90-140kbps, with it possible to get around 200 kbps in ideal conditions. GPRS is typically 10-20 kbps. 802.11g WiFi is capable of up to ~54000 kbps (54 Mbps) with speed typically in the 10000-20000 kbps range. On GPRS there may not be enough bandwidth to stream a movie.
    The Quicktime in the iPhone can play videos from websites, for example you should be able to play the tutorial videos on http://www.apple.com/iphone/
    However, it does require the video be encoded to support the iPhone. This page gives information in the collapsable menu section for web designers and content providers on how to prepare videos and setup web pages to work with the iPhone: (A free Apple Developer Connection (ADC) account may be required to view the page)
    http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html
    Specifically the collapsable section on "Ensure a Great Audio and Video Experience"

  • Why is my iPhone4 so much slower than my iPad2 on my home wireless network?

    I have installed a new Linksys 3200 wireless router.  And, I find that my iPhone4 is MUCH slower on the wi-fi network than my iPad2.  I expected it to me slower, but not this much!  Here are the speedtest results:
    iPhone4 - Ping at 399 ms, Download speed at .73 Mbps, Upload speed at 1.00 Mbps
    iPad2 - Ping at 84 ms, Download at 5.63 Mbps, Upload at .91 Mbps
    My cable modem is supposed to be rated at 5/1 (Download/Upload), so it seems that the iPad is maximizing the use.
    I've tried a complete shutdown and restart (modem first, then router, then computer).  And, it seems a little faster, but not much.
    Is there something wrong with the iPhone?  I don't remember it being so slow before...and it seems faster on my office network!
    Suggestions, please.
    Robert

    P.S.  It also seems to lose the connection from my iPhone4 pretty easily.  I have to go back to settings and reset the wireless network.  (Don't have to on the iPad).

  • Little Circle where the Edge and 3G Networks usually are...

    Quick question. Sometimes when I am inside my building at work, I get a little white circle where the E for Edge and 3G usually are. I still have the AT&T carrier info, but just that little circle.
    My understanding is that means I am on the GPRS data network, which is slower than Edge. Is that still covered in my unlimited data plan? My concern was that I might be data roaming onto another network and incurring charges. Is the little circle (GPRS) still on the AT&T network?
    Thanks so much!!

    Is the little circle (GPRS) still on the AT&T network?
    Yes.

  • I am desperate!! slow choppy network speeds (not actual inability to cnnct)

    I have a 13" macbook air that has the following problem: I can connect to wifi networks (including at home WPA and also tried WPA2 settings) but even though I may get proper speed at first, I soon lose that and it becomes much slower and choppy (if I open activity monitor I can see the speed going up and down like crazy...). My internet speed at home is 12mpbs set by my provider. When I perform speed tests (vis speedtest.net or downloading files from other speed test sites) on my windows PC that is also on this network I get the full download speed. However with this MAC while I initially did get the full speed, it is now down to an average of 3-5mbps and the activity monitor, again, shows choppy behavior so it will be at 8 then at zero almost and then up and down again but never near the full speed. I tried to connect to other networks and I have the same problem - once this happens it stays. I tried removing the airport connection in network preferences and adding it again it does not help.
    I TALKED TO APPLE AND HAD MY COMPUTER TESTED BY THEM - they didn't find any hardware issues (they said it was fine - but it isn't) but they still replaced the airport hardware in the computer - both the chip and the antenna (which meant replacing the entire screen). I brought the computer home, ran a speed test and everything was fine. I thought GREAT but then something happened and the problem returned. What I did (which I think was unrelated) was connect via SMB to a PC at home and I tried to stream a movie file. I noticed it kept 'pausing' so I opened up activity monitor again and to my HORROR I saw the choppy wave with network speed very inconsistent going up and down like crazy... I tried connecting to my slingox using the sling web access after disconnecting from my home PC but got partial speed and lots of drops too. I tried the speed test again multiple times, nothing seems to work.
    SO I don't know what to do at this point. I have 10.6.6 running. I heard something about a firmware update but I am new to mac so not sure how to even do that or what else I can do to solve this problem or what is causing it. BTW - logging in now from the guest account still does not fix the issues and they remain the same.
    I am desperately looking for help!!
    Thanks a lot!

    Have you been able to reproduce your problems on other wireless networks other than at your house? It appears you are saying that this occurs on all wireless, but I'm not sure from your comment. If it's only at home, it would appear to be a compatibility issue between your wireless access point and the Macbook Air, which isn't uncommon. Sometimes a firmware upgrade to the access point can fix it, sometimes it might require switching to a different brand of access point. It would be great if you could borrow (or buy and return) a different access point/router to test. An Apple airport would be the best to use of course. Not the easiest solution, but lets you help rule out a hardware issue with your air.
    My isp provides 15mbps but my wireless devices such as my iphone, ipad, laptop usually only get 6.5-8 mbps when testing speeds to the internet. I don't expect it to be as good as the wired due to interference, signal, etc. I don't get the choppy behavior however. Firware updates from Apple will appear in the same manner as standard software updates. If there is one available for your system it should appear when you check for software updates. That being said, I believe you can also manually download them from the Apple site.

  • [SOLVED] Network speed very slow, no apparent reason

    Hello, recently I switched from Windows 7 RC1 to Arch on my home machine (I have used Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Fedora 10 on the same machine in the past), and for some reason network speed is very slow.
    I have Verizon's 20mbit/5mbit package, and I have always gotten that speed.
    Using speedtest.net and 100mb.test from cachefly on multiple computers I have come to the conclusion that it is infact my Arch install that is causing the problem:
    - All other machines on my network are getting 20/5 (both wired and wireless)
    - I ran a speedtest from 2 other machines using the ethernet cable that this PC is on.  Again, full 20/5.
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> other Arch box: ~2.8MB/s.
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from other Arch box -> this PC: ~2.8MB/s.
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> UK VPS (100mbit line): ~539KB/s
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from UK VPS -> this PC: ~76KB/s
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from this PC -> Chicago Server (dual gbit lines): ~563KB/s
    - scp transfer of 100mb.test from Chicago Server -> this PC: ~91KB/s
    speedtest.net result:
    Upload speed seems to be unaffected.
    I have tried disabling TCP window scaling, and appending my hostname to /etc/hosts.
    What is weird though is that the other Arch box has an identical network config,  I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.
    My NIC is an integrated Realtek something, I can get the exact model if needed.

    Hi, whipsch
    Can you try ethtool to see if your ethernet card is actually negociating and using a 100Mb full duplex link on your LAN ? If not you can try to force the link parameter with ethtool. Also maybe the driver of your NIc has options related to link negociation.
    Hope this helps,

  • Slow transfer speed between existing servers and new servers

    I have an issue with copying files to a new HP physical server with Esxi 5.5 host and Windows 2012 Server from anywhere in our current network.  
    We have an older HP server with Esxi 3 and multiple Windows 2003 vms, including a domain controller, file server and sql server (our current environment).   I installed a new HP DL380 Gen 8 server and installed Esxi 5 and two Windows 2012 servers,
    one is a DC and one is a file server (our future environment).  
    Currently the new 2012 DC a second domain controller; have not made it the first domain controller yet.   The 2012 file server is a member server.  Same network IP range, static, same subnet, same gw.
    When I try to copy files from our current environment – to either of the Windows 2012 servers it crawls, like 100kb/sec or less.   It is slow between 2003 and 2012 servers, either direction, and between my Windows 7 and the 2012 server.  Does
    not matter if I use windows to copy or robocopy.  It is very fast between the 2003 servers in the current environment and between my windows 7 and the current servers.  Downloads from the Internet do not seem slow.  I have done the following
    to try to resolve with no success:
    Some forums have suggested disabling Large Send offload on the nic card – usually Broadcom cards, ours are intel, but      I tried it anyway with no success.
    Some forums suggested turning off digital signing in group policy, no success.
        Some forums suggest SMB2 can be a culprit, I disabled it on the 2012 server with no change in speed.  
    I made sure all the updates are complete on the new 2012 file server.
    Turned the server firewall off to be sure it wasn’t blocking something; no antivirus installed yet.
    I contacted Vmware to make sure the virtual switch and nics were set up correctly on Esxi 5, they said they are.
    I checked the physical Cisco switch settings to make sure it looked fine.   The current and future physical servers were      all connected to the same physical switch.
    I switched out the network cable
    I moved the network cable to a different switch.
       I checked to be sure DNS was set up correctly.
       I checked firewall settings on the Esxi 5.5.
       Current HP Service pack is installed on the Gen 8 Server.
    I am running out ideas.   Any suggestions?

  • Slow Network Speed with MacPro

    I just received 4 MacPro's with the dual quad processors. I have configured 3 for our workplace and have moved them into production. We are experiencing very slow network speeds, a test file on our server of 100mb takes 2 minutes 20 seconds to copy to the desktop. I have manually set the ethernet port to 100baseT with full duplo. The old machine is running the same OS 10.4.10, and only takes 12 seconds to copy the file. I should mention that we use DAVE to connect to our servers, both machines are running the same version of DAVE, and using a third machine I connected to both drops and the file copied in 12 sec, showing that the network is physically OK. The only difference between the two machines is that one is the intel version? Can anyone offer any thing to try?
    Thanks

    I am 99% sure someone else had 'slow transfer' in another thread.
    Sometimes a router needs firmware update to be compatible, or upgrade the cables to cat6e, or look for a new router or switch which helped my own setup. Just look for one that says that it is "Vista compatible" actually.
