Best internet download speed through bluetooth phone?

2008-03-26 Thread Laurent GUERBY
Hi,

When connected to the internet through a bluetooth phone I can't seen to
find someone reporting more than 20-25 kbyte/second even with 3G or 3.5G
phones + unlimited data plans in France at least.

With my Nokia 6086 which is EDGE only I get 20-25 kbyte/second spikes
and overall average of 10-15 kbyte/second which is as expected.
I'm evaluating wether or not to buy a 3.5G phone like the Nokia E51.

If you're in France or Europe you can test download speed in a X
Terminal as follows:

wget http://test1.guerby.org/test -O /dev/null

Hit C-c after a few minutes once you've got an idea of download speed
(test file is 10 Mbyte of compressed data). If not in Europe replace the
URL with one of any compressed file URL near you.

I'm interested in data plan/phone combo that get good download
speed in France.

Thanks!

Laurent

Laurent,

I can't help with respect to France but it so happens that yesterday 
while in a room inside of the Washington DC convention center I ran the 
DSLreports Internet Speed test and I was clocking ~126kbps on a Verizon 
Wireless EVDO connection to an N800 running the stock OS2007. The two 
speed test www sites that I have used successfully in recent times are:

http://www.broadbandreports.com/speedtest

and

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest


The second one tests in both directions but is not specific to mobile 
devices.






Best Regards,

 

John Holmblad

 Has anyone found or got A2DP working with a Bluetooth stereo
 headset, yet? 
 
 Yes.  It's still got issues with breakups occasionally but kagu
 supports it if you install mplayer and create a settings file for it
 (mplayer).  You really need to do a search for A2DP on the
 http://internettablettalk.com forums for the full information on
 setting it up and what to expect.  I ended up getting a Jabra A120S BT
 A2DP transmitter which is small enough to plug in just about anywhere
 and isn't too bulky or heavy to hang off the n800.  The breakups were
 just too annoying whereas there are 0 breakups with the transmitter.

Thanks for the pointer, Larry. Got that installed and working OK, but
with the occasional glitch, as you say.

So, OK for occasional use, but until Nokia get on and resolve the a2dp
issues once and for all, maybe I need to look into getting one of those
dongles, too...

Adam.

Re: Best internet download speed through bluetooth phone?

2008-03-26 Thread Brad Midgley
guys

a few more data points for DUN rates. these are all gsm phones in a
umts network in the US (att).

htc tilt 580kbps
lg cu500 600kbps
samsung sync 320kbps
moto razr v3xx 550kbps

I believe the tests were all using a bt1.2 adapter on one side or the
other so the lg for example might be hitting a throughput ceiling for
bluetooth.

New N810 - worst purchase I've made this year.

2008-03-26 Thread Chris Van
Question - what is the official stance on

1) GPS not working since the latest upgrade to OS2008

and

2) LEAP on MSCHAP2 wifi not working (I mean, the device is advertised as
being able to use wifi)

I just bought it about a week ago, and GPS worked great - until I updated
from Nokia. I shouldn't really have to say it, but being told that the
device can get on wifi and then finding that it can't use LEAP - which most
offices I've ever visited use - is kind of a bait and switch. Plus, my $19
gps device I bought at wal-mart two years ago is able to connect, but the
N810 is not.

I'm just wondering what Nokia/Maemo has to say about these issues, because
I'm looking at returning the device if these features aren't being fixed by
Nokia/Maemo soon.

Hi Laurent,

I just got a new SE W890 which has Edge and 3.5G (I can't figure out
if that's the same thing...). I'm using the PAN to connec to my N810
to the phone's modem. The sevice provider is 3 (http://www.three.com/)
and I have a 1GB/month plan at Euro 21. With your test file (from
Sweden at night), I got up to 55Kb/s with an average at around 44Kb/s.

Good luck with your search!

LEAP is a proprietary Cisco protocol. The standard is WPA. I hardly  
think it's Nokia's fault that Cisco don't provide drivers for their  
non-standard protocol.
