speeding up the pandora

[lancesg1]

Is there a way to speed it up for internet use. I have the CPU at 800 and it still seems slow to me. I know that it doesn't have all the power that today's smartphones do but is there a way.

use a wifi dongle, should increase the speed for internet, the internet speeds on the pandora have always been an issue due to the wifi chip, best of luck

Also, you could try using a different browser. What one are you using at the moment?

Run this in the terminal if it's WiFi problems you are having. Before browsing was horrible, I was not even able to stream online radio. Now - it's fine

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M power off

in terminal, try sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off, or maybe sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M power off

What exactly does it do? I understand that there's a downside to that command.

Sucks the life out of your battery life from what I've seen. Roughly about halfs it - totally worth it though. Transforms the WiFi completely.

Really, now? Good thing I only turn on my Wi-fi when I use it. How can it be reverted?

not sure about connections speed but for generally less headaches with wifi use wicd instead of network manager - read threads called "wicd redux" and "replacing network manager" on the gp32x forums.

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate auto power on

Chucking it on clock 1000Mhz makes mine seem considerably faster.

Tried that and it says that 54m is not there

that message mean you typed


sudo wlan0 rate 54M power off


instead of


sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M power off

I guess I'll have to write up a script, then.
