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.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
