EVO 4G LTE WiFi performance - completely pointless but impressive

Impressive that the EVO has no problem hitting over 90mbit over wifi... not many phones can do that.

 

Over at anandtech, they show the EVO and the One X hitting over 100mbit.

 

While not really that functional, or practical, I suppose if you did a lot of local music syncing over wifi it would be rather fast.

 

Note that I am connected to 5GHz wifi with 40MHz channel width configured.

Interesting on the 40mhz. I know other mobile devices would only handshake at 65 or 72 using only 1x1 20mhz 802.11n. Most would handshake at 65 due to the guard interval used. I haven't checked on the EVO if it will actually use a 40mhz 2.4ghz channel. What handshake rates are you seeing on 5ghz?

The hardware/software does not support 802.11n 40 MHz channels at 2.4 GHz, only 5 GHz.

 

Maximum supported MCS index is 7 (150 Mbps in 40 MHz, 72 Mbps in 20 MHz).

I figured all it did was MCS 7 as it was only 1x1. Pulling 96 on a 150 handshake is pretty damn good. Pretty clean connection!

Very practical, the less time Tx/Rx the longer the battery life, faster responses too.

No, do not generalize like that. Higher order modulation and wider bandwidth for faster data throughput (hence shorter Tx/Rx time) often require greater power.

    • These creditors are going to get screwed one way or another. I see no exit for them that will be painless. Rule # 1 - Never get in bed with Charlie.

    • I don't disagree entirely but a lot of the really rural coverage (like where I grew up) still has little or no competition.  There is a lot of overlap but there are also a number of unique sites that will help things. But also, the fact is that a lot of the rural T-Mobile coverage is still "map filler" coverage that doesn't actually provide reliable service.  This will help. https://imgur.com/a/LRWF3FO Using where I grew up as an example, magenta is T-Mobile, blue is US Cellular, and gold are unique sites Shentel planned but didn't get a chance to construct before the buyout derailed things. EDIT: And even a number of the T-Mobile sites shown here are Shentel conversions.  The only reason for the site NW of Keysville is that Shentel built that one before the buyout pause.  The site southwest of Meherrin wasn't a Shentel conversion, although Shentel did plan to build there, but rather was added to fill a gap along US-360 when the Shentel conversions were taking place.  Three of the five sites in Farmville proper are Shentel conversions also, as is the one north of town just barely on the map. - Trip
