This apn works better than the other one that is in post one , I also edited the speed values in the build.pro

Now the pages load really fast haven't ran a speed test, I doubt I need it . Lol

Sonething that I notice , after I set it up. I didn't click in the empty circle , I wait it , and it lit by itself . The apn works
[HTC Inspire 4G] aestivalisakito:
That will happen depending honestly I noticed it worked faster for me when I seperated the data and mms into different apns.

What I was told by an att rep is that the Phone apn is the apn used by android and iPhones, almost all other devices use the old wap.Cingular apn. The reasoning has mostly to do with the ability to have things "pushed" to our phones. So it is basically a constant connection with the provider. Unfortunately I am no longer att as they took my unlimited data away, so I moved to sprint, horrible inconsistent data on 3g but lte is awesome. That and since Cdma uses Home addresses, basically apns, you sometimes have to reconfigure them for the best data possible. Oh well
[HTC Inspire 4G] lateral18:
How did att took the unlimited data plan away ?

I had the data/mms before , it was giving speeds up to 3 mbp down and 1 mbp up

. But this one is 5 mbp down and 1.5 mbp up .
[HTC Inspire 4G] aestivalisakito:
It was taken away because they claim I was using it for tethering which I had never tethered. again it varies from person to person location to location phone to phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grant8010:
Same thing happened to me. Forced me to a 5gb tethering plan. I mysteriously use more data now then when I had "unlimited". I pay overages all the time now.

Hi, I updated to Android Revoultion HD 7.1 by mike1986, and now after I add my networks (Irish) APN settings I can't select it. If i add any other APN, I can select it. Can someone please help, as I am a novice at this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I did not have to reselect APN. I am on GTG Saga as well. I am in bay area I got .4 upload speed by pushing the db file.

I will try modifiying the .prop file with stuff from OP
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajdrausal:
Odd I had to select MediaNet here
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Mine was already selected.

I am on stock radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I just tested these changes on a fresh CoreDroid 5.4 install, and all worked well, but I did have to reselect the APN to MEdia Net (I had no H icon before I selected it). I had to reboot twice after selecting the APN to get the full speed bump, with the build.prop changes already in place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Thank you I will also try it
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajdrausal:
That is what happened to me, so an easy way to tell if you must reset APN is weather you get the H(+) icon or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Now this is weird. With new .db and build.prop from OP I got 1.2 Upload but 1.4 dl :(

Before just with .db it was 2.4 dl and .4 ul.

And before all of this it was 1.6-1.8 dl and .5-.6 ul

Any help on getting higher DL?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajdrausal:
Try lowering the ro.ril.hsdpa.catagory to 28

as 112 (i think) works better in markets that have a stronger "4g" infrastructure
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Good suggestion. I will clarify in the OP that these settings are best for known H+ markets.

Metaldood, you might even try 10 or 12, if 28 is no good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajdrausal:
feel free to take my zip on post 45 too :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Will do, thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
LOL. Now this is freaky. I changed servers to near Bay area and now getting 2.4 dl with same OP settings( previously I was selecting Mid west servers) and crappy 0.2 ul.

So if I select servers far away I get > 1 Mbps ul and if I select servers in Bay area then I get < .5 ul

And just the opposite for Dl. Closer servers faster dl .

:P
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You're probably just experiencing some less than optimal network conditions on some paths. Or those servers in the Bay area you are testing against are saturated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
What do the system prop values do? I couldn't find anything them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The ro.ril statements (radio interface layer) are configuration settings for the cell radio and modem. Other statements in the build.prop are for various other things.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vwyodapink:
I had a question about the APN's I am using the CM7 rom, have not tried this as of yet. But I only ever since installing CM7 for APN's have had one that says ATT wap.cingular. Do the APN's have to do with where you live or on custom rom's do you have to enter it? Not sure if I understand that part yet. I am in Northern Cali north of SF and Sac. If you have to enter it can some one post what APN's I should have for ATT in NorCal please. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
are we suppose to change these at the top & the middle of the build.prop because they are in both locations

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=112 or 28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=12 or 6

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

this is the only 1 in the middle of the build.prop does it need to be added at the top

ro.ril.hsxpa=3 or 2
[HTC Inspire 4G] misterbbq:
noob question....how do i edit the build.prop file? i pushed the .db file but now i have no access to the internet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
There are entirely too many people flashing radios and editing crucial configuration files on their phones that have very little or no understanding of what they are actually doing.

Most of which don't or don't know how to nandroid backup before doing so. Resulting in ROM threads crowded up with support issues.

My girlfriend is on a custom rom with her captivate and is having dara lockups on upload and switching between 3g and h when i'm stationary in a known good 4g zone. I will nandroid her phone before attempting anything, but do you think just moving over the database will fix it or should I bring over settings from the stock build.prop?

I for one, only use the stock radio. I never got flash happy with radios. Swapping the telephony db seemed to help a little but I can't be sure until I run it for a few hours. Changing the build prop has always had a negative effect on my speeds.

[HTC Inspire 4G] caffeineighted:
Just wanted to report that this worked beautifully on my Inspire running CyanogenMod 7.0.0

I did this at work so I couldn't use adb. Instead, I used Root Explorer (figured I'd try even though it was recommended against).

I did get the Force Close errors that were warned but I simply went into ROM Manager and did a "Fix Permissions" then rebooted.

Perfection.

PS - I did change my build.prop to include what the OP had, but here in Queens, NY I guess I'm just barely out of reach of the better towers down the road (I pick them up on the drive in and at home) so I used the lesser values for

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28 and

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6 as well as

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

Works like a charm and I'm getting a consistant ~3mbps down, 1.7mbps up.

Prior to this, despite my best efforts, I got a maximum of 1.7mbps down, 700kbps up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
did you edit the top & middle of the build.prop ?

I don't think that's arrogant at all. I actually agree completely.

If I can make a suggestion though, if this is all so frustrating for you guys, maybe you can all get together and put up a "be all end all" sticky on this stuff.

Clearly everyone (non-devs) is a little confused and have differing theories and methods. One works for some, others don't. So make a post discussing all of the methods and theories in one topic, clean it up, and we can be done with it =)
[HTC Inspire 4G] contradude:
She's currently running darky v9.5 and it works amazingly well, except for data issues identical to the OP. I would pull the telephony db from the latest stock rom on the captivate and adb push it over the darky rom version that was coming from a i9000.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I tried this method and all others and I agree that there is a lot of confusion and too many variables on this topic. Editing the build prop should be done with caution and many of you should face the reality that AT&T has a crappy high speed network. I live in Brooklyn NY and there's not much I can do to bypass AT&T's network issues. I'm all for the development of a fix but these things are a work in progress at best.

I would begin with comparing the displayed baseband with radios recommended in captivate thread - then move to apn settings - then to *#*#4636#*#* phone - menu select region and choose USA.

Plus the long version of flashing that rom is the best along with using the zip adapted for captivate.

If we're going to assume no one reads this or that, just close the forum and walk over to the Apple store.

truth is that with stock ROM or with DGs ROM in my office I get 300kb download. I flashed Ultimate Droid HD and applied this changes and got those speeds. Dont know why but even with MIUI I did not got those speeds in my office...its kind of a black hole in here.

I'm no noob as I been flashing since the G1 and I like trying new stuff. This method for me is not the best but it made a diff.

On the topic at hand, the changes seem to have made no difference in my areas of Roanoke (Far north Ft. Worth) and downtown Ft. Worth.

No, no. It's ok. I didn't think you were being elitist at all. I simply meant, and this is where we'll agree to disagree, that saying "most people" don't read OPs or Stickies is assumptive. Consider how many of us read these forums and don't post often (like me; member under this username for >1 yr but been reading and learning from here for much longer). We're a silent or hidden majority.

I just don't want to see those of you who develop and/or contribute the way you all do to get too jaded or turned off by the silly gooses that do wind up posting 7,000 times about what the market is in CM7 threads.

There's a great majority here that reads, reads, then reads one more time to make sure and follows directions and whatnot. Therefore, I think keeping fresh and comprehensive stickies going is central to minimizing those silly gooses we're talking about.

Anyway, let's please get back on topic lol

That's all fine and dandy. What about those of us whom the stock radio, proper APN settings and proper radio band region settings don't fix the problem? 2 out of those 3 things are already set properly once you wipe and flash. Running the stock radio is a no-brainer (I was getting full performance on the stock Inspire ROM which obviously means the stock radio is just fine). Since the dev community did not have a fix for my situation, I had to start thinking outside of the box. After about 15 hours of work in a process of elimination, I finally determined that ONE little tiny file sitting on the stock ROM quadrupled my data speeds. Perhaps I made a mistake in sharing this info with the community. I will agree that the build.prop settings are subjective and anecdotal to some extent. I just threw them into the OP in case someone had a setting like hsxpa=1 or something, because based on my testing, slow settings like these will not bring out the fast speeds provided by the stock telephony.db file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Agreed.

What a lot of people fail to recognize or remember is that most of the roms in this forum are ported pretty much directly over from DHD builds which contain conflicting settings as well as different audio drivers, gps ntp.pool server settings and these thread are so overloaded with simply gps issues its maddening.

That said, it is the responsibility of each dev to make sure through confirmed testing that their rom is region compliant instead of posting a $DONATE$ button followed with "Back up your current rom and flash at your own risk"

At the very least the workaround settings should be in OP instructions or simply implement needed configure files in an Inspire advertised rom.

In no way do I think you or anyone posts a thread with malicious intent.

We're a community and as such must be regulated by the community.

Someone who is in a market that is experiencing problems with Desire HD ROMs please try reverting to your old previously non-working telephony.db that was created by whichever ROM you're on and manually enter the following apns (For MMC and MNC be sure to match whatever was set for you before). The third apn is likely the key to your problems. It's missing in most third party ROMs.

Name: MEdia Net

APN: Phone

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310 (Don't change this, it should be set for your market automatically I think when you create a new APN)

MNC: 410 (Don't change this, it should be set for your market automatically I think when you create a new APN)

APN type: default,admin,fota

Everything else: <Not set>

Name: MMS

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310 (Don't change this, it should be set for your market automatically I think when you create a new APN)

MNC: 410 (Don't change this, it should be set for your market automatically I think when you create a new APN)

APN type: mms,supl

Everything else: <Not set>

Name: Entitlement

APN: broadband

MCC: 310 (Don't change this, it should be set for your market automatically I think when you create a new APN)

MNC: 410 (Don't change this, it should be set for your market automatically I think when you create a new APN)

APN type: entitle

Everything else: <Not set>

Devs: If you want to add that third missing apn to your ROM, decompile framework-res.apk and add the following lines to /res/xml/apns.xml. You can remove the state="hidden" part if you want. That's the reason we never knew that this apn needed to be set. AT&T is such a ****. If these apns prove to fix the issues, I'll add them to CM7 source so future releases of CM7 and MIUI will be fixed.

Interesting point earlier symonc,

While I have all the respect and thanks in the world for the devs here that cook these ROMs, the cooking itself and posting thereafter is a bit cavalier. It's not so much of an arrogance, but more of a "I cooked this up and know how to suit it perfectly for me, so [insert faux legal language] at your own risk etc. etc." -or- "I cooked this up because I've cooked up great ROMs before, so this should work... [more faux legalese]. Ok enjoy!"

The devs shouldn't have to go above and beyond. Their efforts are appreciated in any amount. But I think the issue, as symonc eluded to, is that if a dev expects $$DONATIONS$$ every time they pump out a ROM, it should be great. Really great. Not just a copy/paste/tweak of ROM X.

Please, for the love of God, don't get me wrong. I understand that 90% of the work done here is nose-to-the-keyboard inducing coding and whatnot, but let's admit some of it is pushed out without enough research or testing.

Lastly, let's not forget this whole community is still brand new. Yeah, it's been since 2007 since we saw the first iPhone light up the smartphone world to the point it is, but the developer/hacker/modification community as far as phones go is still nice and fresh. We're still working all this stuff out.

Not to mention the fact that this particular phone has only been out for a few months now. And fellas, we are on AT&T. The speeds, most of the time, will be what they are.

We'll get there :)

gtg465x and symonc,

I am wiping/reflashing right now, and I will let you know my results using the 3rd apn.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Nice observations and simplifications.

Note: I don't allow donations to myself. I do so - as other devs do out of the spirit of sharing and simply helping others on my own free time. That and due to insomnia, constant brain activity, necessity, and real potato vodka.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
For whatever reason, CM7 only comes with one default APN. Here are the steps I performed, and there is a happy ending after all of this.

1. I added your 3rd APN (Entitlement) to CM7 with your settings, but this did not fix the speed issues.

2. Then I added the "MEdia Net" APN with your settings. This did not fix the speed issues.

3. Then I reconfigured the default APN that comes with CM7. It is named "ATT". I changed the name to "MMS" and put in all of your settings except for "MMS protocol", as this is not an option on the CM7 ROMs for whatever reason.

When I was done with steps 1, 2 and 3, BOOM!!!! High speed success! So it appears that all 3 APN's have to be in at the same time. The magic bullet is indeed the 3rd "Entitlement" APN in conjunction with the first two. FWIW the radio button on the APN selection screen is on the "MEdia Net" APN. If I try to select another APN the button switches back to MEdia Net in a few seconds.

FWIW previously last week I tried chaning the default CM7 APN to match the default ROM APN, but my phone lost its connection permanently until I restored the APN settings back to CM7's defaults. Now I see, thanks to your great help, that all 3 APNs have to be in at the same time.

Now on to the next subject.

Since my original post is now null and void, I figure I've got a couple of options. I will let you dev's tell me what to do, since problems created by threads like mine have the potential to create headaches for you guys.

1. Whack the fist post and replace it with something like, "the fix has been identified and will be in an upcoming version of your ROM".

2. Whack the first post and replace it with instructions on how to reconfigure your APN settings

3. Leave the first post mostly as it, but add instructions for manually adding the APN's.

Let me know your thoughts.

Yes that is correct. There is more than one way to skin this cat. The .db copy method is much faster with no chance of typo's versus manually typing in all the settings. However it requires knowledge of adb and other stuff, and if done improperly it can cause FC's.
