B/ I jjust spent 20 minutes composing a response and it went poof. I'll try to condense. Shouldn't server speed and router congestion be reflected in speed test results to begin with? Both of those factors are at play when running speedtest, so not sure why it would make a difference The...

B Thanks for the thoughts. Here's one of the things that they underline...If the server is slow, wouldn't that fact be reflected in the speed results of speednet? Aren't those results a reflection of the server, as well, such that there wouldn't be a difference? Let me take a crack at this...

This is particularly glaring on my Asus MemoPad 8 tablet. (But I've seen something similar on my laptop and phone, though perhaps not so slow). I run speedtest and get download speeds of 2.5 Mbs. However, if I am downloading a file or streaming something, my speed goes down anywhere from 5...

I know that title is vague...only so many alphanumerics allowed ;) I've got PDANET on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I use a USB cable to plug it into my laptop so that I can connect to the web. (I chose not to have Wi-Fi in the house.) Can I do the same if I plug into a Samsung Tab 10.1"? The tablet...

What remains unclear - I'm afraid we haven't heard from enough fellow users to ascertain - is whether there has been a USB tethering restriction implemented. The next question would be 1) Is it a by-product of Kit Kat, 2) Is it a by-product of something T-Mobile has done in their "Total Data...

It just happened again. It starts downloading fast. 1MB per second. It does this for a couple minutes and then the web connection via PDAnet just drops altogether. Happens rarely with my LG with Ice Cream. What a bloody hassle! So, are we saying the problem is Kit Cat or an intentional move by...

Has T-Mobile or Kit Kat programmed a defense against completing PDA/FoxFi/Tethered downloads to discourage use? I've moved "up" from an LG Optimus L7 with Ice Cream. Downloads more files, faster, and remains connected until download complete. The "advanced" Samsung G3 with Kit Kat will...

Dear All, I've checked my phone's sync settings, synced several times, logged in and out of Gmail online to see if anything has been updated. No such luck. Icon by phone numbers saved on phone is a cell phone, rather than the letter "G" which typically represents contacts pulled from Gmail...
