Can you try the following on CM7 to ensure it works before I commit?

Delete all apn settings in CM7 and reset to default (menu > reset?). Stock CM7 settings should be:

Carrier: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

User: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Type: default,mms,supl

Everything else: <Not set>

Now I just want to add the single thing that is needed for better speeds. I think just adding entitle to type like the following will fix it, but let me know.

Carrier: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

User: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Type: default,mms,supl,entitle

Everything else: <Not set>

If that doesn't work trying adding Password: CINGULAR1. If you still don't get proper speeds, try adding admin to type. If that doesn't, try adding Proxy: wireless.cingular.com and port:80.

Basically, try these things one at a time so we can narrow down which exact setting is causing the problem. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Sorry for the delay, I had to do some work in between playing with my phone. ;) Here are my results in the exact order I did them:

1. Restored APN settings to default. There is now only the single default CM7 APN.

2. Verified that speeds are back to being poor and choppy.

3. Added entitle to end of the type string.

4. Verified that speeds are still poor and choppy.

5. Added CINGULAR1 to the password field.

6. Speeds are still the same; slow and choppy.

7. Added admin to the end of type string.

8. No change in speeds

9. Added Proxy: wireless.cingular.com and port:80

10. No change in speeds

I also changed the order of the type strings. Default CM7 is in this order:

default,supl,mms

in the above steps, I used:

default,supl,mms,entitle and then I used default,supl,mms,entitle,admin

I also changed the order to what you have:

default,mms,supl,entitle and then I tried default,mms,supl,entitle,admin

No change.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Wait, I thought you said you fixed it by messing with apn settings? How exactly did you have your apns set up when it was fixed?

edit: Ahh, I see, you had to have three separate apns to get it working.

When I first rooted my phone and started playing with it, I tried every combination of settings I could think of - and came up with the following.

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

APN type: default,mms,supl

With these settings my peak has been: down 4.8mb/s up 2.14mb/s over the past month.

Average with these settings has been down 2.83mb/s up 1.18mb/s over the same period.

Also keep in mind that I use the 10 rule. 10 servers - 10 runs - 10 different days - 10 different times of the day (ie it will be slower at lunch and during rush hour traffic) - then take the average.

I tried both ways of "entitled" - both with its separate APN and with adding it to APN type. There wasn't enough + or - performance difference to even note.

With limited time I tested 10 servers - 2 times (once indoors - once outdoors) and the results were: Peak: 4.3mb/s down 2.3mb/s up

Average was 3.01mb/s down 1.38mb/s up

And Henry..... I'm in Edmond. If you're using the Bixby server - it's pure ****e. Ha!

I get better speeds from Mexico City. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I had three separate APN's, as you described in post 105

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13060845&postcount=105

When I have

all 3

APN's, my speeds are good. Adding extra stuff to just 1 APN doesn't do anything for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
In his defense... I'm thinking he doesn't have near enough empirical data to make a true determination.

BTW Henry --- irregardless of what's transpired. Thanks for starting this thread. It's brought some minds together and we're getting somewhere.

Cheers
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You posted at the same time I did...see my reply above yours. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Can you try deleting all apns and setting up a single one like this:

User: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

I'm on a conference call right now but I will do this once I'm off the call. Looks like you're playing around w/ the type order.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
No problem, thank

guys. I know things were a little dicey for a while but I'm glad we're all helping each other out. Pretty cool actually.

And you can call me Jason, that's my real name. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Tested 10 servers and speed differences between this and what I posted of my settings last weren't outside of any expected range.

This does seem like the simplest setting to publish or recommend - save it being imbedded in rom.

I played with the different combination orders of apn type and saw little difference with minimal testing.

Previously tested settings from Post #118

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

APN type: default,mms,supl,entitle
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Sorry but no dice.

Also tried symonc's string of: default,mms,supl,entitle and no good for me. I also rebooted in case this fixed it, but no change.

The only good speeds I've gotten from manually editing APN's are when I had 3 of them just like in post 105. Copying over the default telephony.db gets me the 3 separate APN config also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zharptitza:
I'm on CM7 and haven't seen a difference from default to the updated db. I think for me its just the network being horribly slow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
I just wonder why you are one of the only people experiencing this problem. The Entitlement apn makes no difference for the vast majority of us. Is there anyone in this thread who has the same problem as you? What are the default mcc and mnc values set to when you add a new apn? I wonder if you just have an outdated sim card or something.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Those are good questions and I wish i knew the answers. :confused:

Back when AT&T was Cingular, the Tulsa market was always one of the first markets for testing new stuff. For example, we had 3G before most of the country. I don't know if they're rolling out the Entitlement apn in my area or if they are testing things for future upgrades or whatever. There must be a reason why Entitlement is included in the default .db file. All I know is that speeds and latency are very good when I'm using it along with the other 2 apn's. And there are a few others reporting big speed increases (albeit a small number) so there are a few other markets where this fix is working also.

Regarding my SIM card, it is the one that came with the phone. I was previously using an iPhone 4 which uses the micro-sim, so I had to get a new regular SIM. Last week when I was trying to get to the bottom of my speed problems (I couldn't really tell AT&T I was running a non-stock ROM of course) I had them double check to make sure my account was provisioned properly. They actually deleted my provisioning and recreated it under the 4G specific provisioning.
[HTC Inspire 4G] maxjivi05:
I've tried all these settings and copying the telephony.db over too and I have no luck getting speeds back.. I had good speeds flashed a radio and bam disappeared tried different radios and these settings with right prop.build settings and still slow upload speeds... horrible speeds like 0.33 Mbps
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yeah I've seen some threads where once some people flash their radios, they lose their speeds, so you seem to be in that category, which is a different problem than I'm having. I think turning S-ON, going back to stock and letting the stock RUU re-flash the stock radio is the fix, but I can't remember for sure.
[HTC Inspire 4G] maxjivi05:
I hate to restore my phone and flash and spend a hour redoing it all lol. :'(

[HTC Inspire 4G] LordGeek:
I've read right through this whole thread, and something is missing here that I did not see anyone question !!

These APN settings are all good and dandy, but, to what radio is recommended for this ?

Look at my signature, see what ROM build I'm using & radio .. now most of these custom ROM's have recommended radios to use, so the question is:

Is this good for ALL radios or one inparticular ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
We're keeping the radio out the equation for now to reduce the endless variables involved with the testing. I'm running stock radio. With all 3 apn's I'm getting 2-4 down and 1.3 up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
I tested all the MNC settings registered to AT&T - past or present

MCC 310 (which is our country and doesn't change)

MNC 410

Are the only ones that work.

Chances are we have some people in here from Canada that are on Roger's.

Canada's MCC is 302

Roger's MNC is 720
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
I've tested pretty much all of them.

When I use my phone - it's always on stock radio from attn1's hack kit

That radio you have in your sig ... hmmmm... seen that on the DHD forums. Flashed it briefly -- ended up back on stock as usual. If I remember right - that radio was euro originally and released as part of a Froyo update from HTC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] maxjivi05:
Okay, quick question I know there was away to restore the captivate with one click, and I was a dummy and jumped onto a ROM without making a backup of my phones stock image thinking there was something like that out there, was I wrong ? lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Only if you made a full backup image in CWM - otherwise it's just apps, data and settings for most backups

Edit: There's a stock rooted rom on this forum, btw
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
OK I've narrow this down further. I've gone through this 3 times to make sure results are consistent. Check this out.

Stock CM7 ATT APN = slow

Modified CM7 ATT APN to match MMS APN settings in post 105 = slow

Stock CM7 ATT APN plus MEdia Net APN from post 105 = slow

Modified CM7 ATT APN to match MMS APN settings in post 105 plus MEdia Net APN from post 105 = Fast

Entitlement APN not needed!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
One more finding.

Using the default CM7 APN, if I add the MEdia Net APN and Entitlement APN from post 105, speeds are fast. So that explains why I kept saying that all 3 APN's were needed, because I was using the default CM7 APN back then.

So to sum up:

Modified stock CM7 APN plus MEdia Net APN = Fast

Stock CM7 APN plus MEdia Net APN plus Entitlement APN = Fast

Anything else = slow
[HTC Inspire 4G] caffeineighted:
Ok, henrybravo, can you modify the OP as if you were explaining to someone who just got home with a new Inspire, rooted it, flashed CM7, and stumbled on this thread?

I think the main things that need straightening out are the following:

1) Whether or not the radio matters.

2) Exactly, step by step, how to set up the 3 APNs and which one to click to activate (green dot next to it lol).

3) How to make the perfect pulled pork.

3 is optional.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes I was just about to start on this. LOL at your #3.

[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I'm testing CoreDroid right now to see what APN changes it needs. I want to at least have instructions for a Sense ROM as well as an AOSP ROM. Once I get the CD changes confirmed I'll get the OP updated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
I believe MNCs 560, 680, and 090 are also registered to AT&T and in operation according to wikipedia. I assume you either use MNC 410, 560, 680, or 090 depending on which part of the country you're in?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I will make note in the new OP instructions to check whatever MNC settings you already have and stick with those for the other APNs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
In conclusion

There's an hour of my life I will never get back.

Opened the telephony.db file and read the code over

and over

and

over

and

There is a lot in there - including settings for regions of the world most of us will never go to.... So far as what gets you anywhere in the United States of America .... no new news

So here I am... back with the same settings I had when the day began - no MEdia Net - and evidently i'm not "entitled" to anything - Yet - I'm getting the same speeds I did when the day began.

From the looks of the code -- there's a lot built in there for just in case scenarios and possibly future scenarios of which I don't have any knowledge.

Best of luck to all of you. As for me and my house... we shall follow the stock radio and settings I have repeated entirely too many times.

And hungry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Good deal, thanks for all your help today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
I wouldn't be adding those to any OP. I'd rather light myself on fire and run through a meth lab.

If you put one of those other than 410 in the MNC setting --- and press save

Poof --- APN disappears - no data at all - just a cell signal of which I saw no point in even seeing if texting worked ---- Next step you're restoring defaults in order to do anything again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yeah I'm just going to say to check your pre-existing MCC and MNC numbers and only use those. Does that sound ok to you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Those are country/region codes and network -- like GSM 850 GSM 1900 UMTS 850 UMTS 1900 -- Which is what 410 is

560 is only 850

680 is only GSM

etc

etc

etc

If I put anything it would be "Do not mess with MCC or MNC numbers"
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Wow you guys are doing alot of work. Keep it up! Another question. Im using the phoenix Rom and at first it was getting me 2_2.5dl and now I'm getting less then 1. I don't wanna mess with the build.prop. any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] caffeineighted:
The idea of what we're discussing here is if you do what will be in the OP and still get slow or inconsistent speeds, it's AT&T.

Just wait. Or go Thunderbolt lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Man this is a great phone but ATT don't let it deliver the speed it should!
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
To whom it may concern (Reads: "everyone")

If you're getting 1-2mb/s that's still more than you will be allocated to download from any given server holding a song or whatever. The host servers only has so much bandwidth and they'd be suicidal to not limit each individual query for a download.

The rest is slick advertising.

The other unspoken advantage could be a lowering of latency which is of vital importance no matter what you are connected to typically.

youtube is crap on network data period

i don't even bother anymore unless on wifi - the stutter drives me crazy and I've even gotten it on wifi.

Google doesn't seem entirely dedicated to YouTube - at least where available bandwidth is concerned.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Depends on how many people are trying to download from the same server simultaneously as well.

Higher end file servers are scaled and if you're one of the few on it - it will be fast providing they have the bandwidth to begin with.

When I'm mirroring a rom from my buddy's uk server to mine --- I normally do so with a pm from him before he puts up a link - or else he puts it right on my server first. Otherwise it goes from a 1.5mb/s download to a 200kb/s download once others start downloading same file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
It damn well better be one person. Me. It is my own dedicated server. 15mbps upload dedicated for remote management of the ~600 servers I support. Remember when using generalizations that "everyone" covers all kinds of people... ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
This thread is awesome. A lot of folks better with Android than I said it was the network and not a configuration error. I pushed the .db with adb and it's working exceedingly well. I tested my girl's inspire for the same symptoms and it doesn't have them, so I'm pretty sure this doesn't happen to people that don't try different radios. For CM7, I fixed it before this thread happened by killing root with the stock ruu, downgrading again with the hack kit, and not going s-off because I still had it. I also tried several radios before flashing the stock AT&T radio because it pwnz all other radios anywhere in AR that is worth being in before flashing back to the stock att radio. I still had crappy data speeds in CM7 and everything besides TPC's ROM. So, I manually created the MEdia Net apn and the MMS apn and it works like a charm. That .db brought a "Entitlement" apn with it and i'm 99% sure it's totally unnecessary here because I deleted it due to it seeming sketchy and it still works like it should. I get 5-6 mbps down and 1.3 up when I stand next to a 1900 MHz tower when nobody is using it except paper delivery people, cops, and paramedics and I get 2-3 down and 1.3 up on my couch depending on time of day. However, those tornadoes last week knocked out AT&T's cellular crap and at least my Comcast 105mbps/10 connection for ~12 hours.

Remote server management is incredible. I don't support ~600 servers, but I do support 109 servers and ~500 workstations. They let me pick the parts and assemble them and they have enough cash to throw at frequent upgrades so hardware failure is exceedingly rare and I rarely have to actually show up to work.

Hi everyone, I'm really interested to get a new phone android phone. I have only 2 choices here which is

Nexus S

Xperia arc

don't know which is better. I'm tired of my phone. Please help me

Thanks
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Haven't heard too much about the Xperia Arc but you can take a look at some of the reviews and compare them to the Nexus S and see which one you would like more:

Xperia Arc Review: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/30/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review/

Nexus S Review: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/

Pretty much sums it up.
[Nexus S General] sofia-captivate:
Thats a tough decision is call volume on nexus s good ? How is battey and how the nfc works ? And what it does?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Call volume is fine. Battery is perfectly fine, one of the best (some people will debate about this.. but personally for me it has been really good).

NFC is still relatively new technology and it depends on your area. It's probably pretty pointless right now but it'll become big in the future.

Check with the store selling NS in Canada for its return policy. You can return it if you don't like it.

[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Defiantly NS. Sony is crapware
[Nexus S General] vaust:
I have the NS, and my buddy just bought the Arc 2 weeks ago. I must say go for NS. Arc gets real hot after gaming at the back part of the ear piece. The heat can be felt from the front as well, making calls uncomfortable after gaming. No front facing camera, which we should be expecting more and better softwares that uses it. Oh, the auto dimming is kinda weird, it makes the screen flickers the whole time, you can definitely notice it, my buddy and I thought it was a defect at first, but another buddy who bought the Arc also had the same thing going on.

Widgets/ sony skin is not bad if you prefer non stock look. Oh screen scratches too, so put on the skin protector that comes with the phone asap.

After playing with the htc incredible s/ desire s, i kinda liked the feel and built of the pair of HTCs. Espescially desire s, 3.7" aluminium back, real sleek industrial design, comes with front facing camera, android 2.3 + their new htc sense skin. Incredible s rotating home, search etc function button is kinda cool with a slightly bigger screen/display. I'd say take these choices for comparisons if your area offer.
[Nexus S General] OuncE718:
I would either go with the NS or myTouch 4g if I was you. You can't go wrong with either phone. The myTouch 4g is much more user friendly if you are new to Android and it has a lot of features. The NS is more of an experimental phone that should/will get the latest Android updates before other Android devices. I recommend watching YouTube reviews to get an idea of which phone fits you the best.

They have unlocked bootloaders on their phones though (not from the start... you have to opt in). Seems a little bit weird with the whole fiasco on the PS3.
