Network App

I have tried at least 10 app saying to improve internet speed, I have EDGE, which is maybe 2g at best, very slow. Is there any app that does improve internet speed ?

I don't see how any app on your phone will increase your internet speed. The speed at which your phone receives the data is dependent on the tower it is sent from. If your phone can only connect to EDGE that is the only speed you are going to get. Sorry.

I agree. At any given location, there is no way to increase the speed of your connection. The phone will do its best and the tower will do its best to achieve full EDGE speeds. The phone's engineers and the tower's (equipment maker's) engineers did everything they could to make it work as well as possible within the technology constraints. There is no way that an app can help.

The ones that I tried maybe there was a slight improvement loading images but not enough to say it was a improvement. Only a waste of time.

Pimp My Rom app there is a noticeable improvement to internet browsing and loading, under tweaks.

You can use this app to see if Pimp My Rom is really increasing your internet speed. If you see a big jump in kbps then it's working.

Even if you're standing still, download speeds vary minute-by-minute depending on what other radio noise moves in and out of the area, how many people are currently using the same cell tower at that instant, whether a big metal truck passed by or parked out front, whether the tower's connection is bogged down with several people who are streaming movies, etc. Unless you do a large sampling of speeds, it's difficult to say if an app helps increase speed.

FYI: The reason that you'll see your signal-strength bars fluctuate when you're standing still is is because of all the radio noise that moves into and out of your area. The signal-strength bars don't actually measure signal strength; they measure the quality of your signal which is a combination of signal-strength (which won't likely change when you're standing still) and the signal-to-noise ratio which changes because of all of the interference sources that move into and out of the area.
