My god, I just looked inside of the APN.

3440 entries no way,

1. I used APN Backup and Restore.

2. Backed up the APN and then edited using an XML editor. Why would anyone keep all those extra sites if they don't apply to them in the united states. The entries changed from 3440 to 9 after I got done editing them.

3. Saved the file and restored to the phone.

Think about this, in coding you take out code you don't need and that goes for settings too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Thanks for the App tip APN Backup and Restore. I've been re-entering them manually every ROM flash...
[HTC Inspire 4G] topgun303:
In the procedure for the AOSP cm7 rom. Do we need to add proxy, username, password etc (like the first APN) to the second APN named medianet we made?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
No, everything is just like the OP states.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Elbob10s:
I just installed the most recent CM7 Nightly and it seems these settings are now the defaults :D

I just had to choose the Phone APN.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Did you install fresh or on top of a previous install? I just installed nightly 131 after a full wipe and it only has the default ATT APN. If you installed the nightly on top of a previous CM7 build that you added the 2nd APN to, the new install will also contain that APN.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
So I just added the apn fix to cm7 7.1 and I gotta say wow what a difference. I was skeptical because of this line "If you are able to occasionally hit 2-4 Mb/s download speeds in the Speedtest.net app, and you can occasionally hit a sustained 1-1.3 Mb/s upload speed, then you probably don't need to go messing with your APN settings and this thread probably doesn't apply to you." but Isaw a increase right away to 4.5/down when I was usually getting 2-3/down consistently. GREAT WORK!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Glad it worked. I've been seeing more and more people reporting 2+ upload speeds now (my market is still capped at 1.3) so it definitely appears that AT&T is opening up the pipes on the upload (HSUPA) side in some areas.

I'm getting stuck on 3g a lot lately any clues Im using virtuos 1.27
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I've seen this issue every once in a while on various ROMs, regardless of APN configuration. From what I can tell, the issue is sometimes cosmetic (speeds are still in the HSPA range even though the icon only shows "3G"). Or it could be an AT&T related issue in your area. If you're not already using radio version 26.06.06.30 or 26.09.04.11, you might try one of those.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slayaman22232:
I need some help, I tried doing the steps but messes up ( I skipped step 6) and got annoyed. So I restored my build.prop and restored my old radio. But now I'm only getting 700kbs dl when I was getting 2.5mbs-3.5mbs. I dont know what happened. And I'm running leedroid 3.2.1. Thnx.

[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Try flashing the stock rooted ruu that henrybravo posted a couple of pages back that did it for me and when you flash your custom ROM delete all apn's and redo them like in the first post

Ok I keeo getting the.constant 3g umts speeds on virtuous 1.29 I thought it was cosmetic but after several days of testing still give me the umts any clues why? Im using the radio from the ruu rooted with. 79 ril and both apn from your thread
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Double check to make sure the "Phone" APN is still selected. And give me an actual number of what are your speeds are, I don't know what you mean by "3g umts speeds".

As a point of reference, here are my speeds, in case you're expecting too much of AT&T. During the day, due to AT&T network congestion I get 0.5 - 2 Mb/s speeds. At night, it usually goes up to 1.0 - 5 Mb/s but not always. In my market, if I run the single default APN config, using the speedtest app the uploads will stutter and pause, and the speedtest speedometer is very jerky. Using the APN reconfig in this thread, the uploads smooth out significantly and overall speeds are much faster. If you're getting smooth uploads, and the upload speeds are roughly 800Kb/s +, then your APN reconfig is working, or your market doesn't need this APN config to begin with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Figure it out prop settings on ro.ril.hxpa instead of 3 change it to 2 and it havent revert to 3g thx anyways though this settings really make the difference.

Did try the hipri on the ota radio seems to work but att antennas sucks there all over the place and is kind of hard to test here were I live
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Thank you Lord Geek. I have mimicked this setup with the radio, RIL, and APN's. With < 10 minutes warm-up time after flash, GPS locked to within 6 foot accuracy radius, which is the best I have ever achieved with this handset (previous best accuracy radius was 8 feet). Data speeds were measured at 4.5 -5.2 M-down, and 0.4-1.2 M-up. These speeds are typical for me at this time of day at this location across various radios I've tried. I toggled the hsxpa values in the build prop between 2 and 3 and saw no appreciable difference. I toggled the hsdpa value between 10 and 14 and saw no appreciable difference. My hsupa value was left set at 7. GPS is assisted on my handset with the AngelDeath regional script for my area. Stipulate again that this is just the initial test within 10 minutes of setup.

Edit: ROM for these tests was StarDroid, with the latest RCMix kernel. Details in my sig.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Thanks LordGeek! I haven't got around to installing the new leaked stock ROM yet. I wonder what "hipri" does for us? I'm assuming this stands for "high priority" or something like that. Did you happen to look through the build.prop to see if there's anything new or different in there?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Same as far as I could tell. GPRS 10, HSDPA 10, HSPUA 6, HSXPA 2
[HTC Inspire 4G] LordGeek:
Damn, didn't think of pulling the build.prop file :( I already pulled the stock RUU off and restored my VU v1.29 back on, gotten so hung on the Sense 3.0.. The stock just looked so bland!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
It still has the goofy section "#ACE RF TEAM REQUEST" duplicate section where hsxpa is 3...
[HTC Inspire 4G] LordGeek:
Yeah, I did see that. However, I do remember seeing more information entered in regards to the ril information at the top of the file.

Damn, I wished I had pulled that file. Bugga it, will install the RUU again.. Other than the build.prop, what other files are there of interest???

Ohh, one of the bugs I did experience with the RUU, it would not connect to my wireless without having to hardcode an IP address into the settings!! So I don't know if anyone else experienced that problem.

EDIT : Ok .. RUU reinstalled .. attached is the build.prop file from RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Thank you again LG. I've been mobile or I would have done it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LordGeek:
LOL no problem .. only sad thing about it is now going through the 3 hour process of downgrading ROM, ROOT'ing, reimaging, ENG-OFF, latest CWM, and hopefully restoring my Virtuous Unity backup .. roughly 3 hours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Thanks LG! I threw some thanks your way. Looks like build.prop settings haven't changed.

I got a 10K down / 2 up speed test today, in the middle of the afternoon, while riding a metro train here in Portland. I was using Open Signal app, so I know what tower and all the statistics (it is the strongest signal I have ever run across, and I map towers in the area but and just not hit this one)...and UGH my Dalvik Debug Console will not recognize my device for anything to get a screen shot, since I was on an RUU leak ROM without that native capability. I am too cheap to buy an app for it...anyway...just felt like posting this somewhere and hope to post a screenshot soon...one thing I have noticed here in Portland: AT&T anyway is backhauling towers along the Metro in particular. The one in my sig is a tower that is adjacent to the metro train yard....

Edit: No chance of screen shot of this particular test. Inadvertently wiped it (flashed a new ROM and forgot). Still...I think the new APN setting hipri may be making a difference, although it is early to tell, but today anyway my network speeds are significantly above average.

[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Cool haven't heard of that one. Thank you! Man that dalvik console is a pain for me...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Whatever "hipri" means, it definitely makes a difference. I'm currently only using one apn, because for some odd reason, when starting GPS (while using two apns), the connection (not signal) drops momentarily. I get faster speeds with two, but my phone apparently doesn't like to play nice with two. I consistently get 3mbps down with my current setup (one apn) and I added "hipri" to my one apn and it provided an instant boost (up to what I see with two apns). Interesting.

Sent from the most interesting device in the world.
[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
What line of the APN setting did you add hipri to?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The term "hipri" (without the quotes) goes in the "APN type" field. You add this to whichever APN you've got where the APN field is "Phone".

The order doesn't seem to matter. You can have "default,admin,hipri", "hipri,default,admin" or just "hipri,default"
[HTC Inspire 4G] rpogorek:
The new "HIPRI" setting worked WONDERS here. I'm inside a building, never got more than 3 down and 1.2 up, now I just pulled 6.1 down and 1.49 up. THANKS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Did anyone tried this with the ota radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
My APN Type setting just has an asterisk (*). Should I type in the setting you currently have. For what it's worth I'm on Virtuous Unity 1.29
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You need to switch to a dual APN configuration, matching the OP section titled "Procedure for CoreDroid, HoneySense, LeeDrOiD and many other Sense based ROMs". Once you get the 2nd APN added, in this 2nd APN your APN type field should read: hipri,default,admin (I've been having best results with hipri listed first)
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I'll be updating the OP later today with a new procedure that incorporates the new "hipri" APN type, as well as a new method of inputting the APN's so that the APN selection won't revert back to the slow APN (this has been a problem with some ROMs). Basically it involves deleting your entire APN config, then inputting them in the proper order as in the stock ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Would this work with the ota radio?

06.06.30?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes these changes are radio agnostic. I've tested them on 26.06.06.30 and the new OTA radio that will be supposedly be coming out soon (26.10.04.03).
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Which one is getting better results?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Same results for me, regardless of radio. I don't notice any difference with hipri either, but this is probably a "YMMV" situation judging by other people that have noticed a difference with hipri.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
True that not much of a difference here either I think I'll stay with the ota radio until the release come out
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Major update to the OP. It is MUCH shorter now. I've simplified it down to a total of 2 procedures; one for all unlocked ROMs, and one for all locked ROMs. Also added the "hipri" APN type.

The new procedure (for unlocked ROMs anyway) should eliminate the problem that some people are having, where the APN selection won't "stick" on the fast "Phone" APN.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
to henrybravo:

what are your build props?
[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
After redoing the APNs, it doesn't even give me the option of selecting the MMS APN. Is this correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I use the default CM7 settings, which are the same as stock:

hsdpa 10, hsupa 6, hsxpa 2

Another popular combination is 14, 7 and 3 (respectively) but personally I've never seen any improvement with those numbers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Since the MMS APN shouldn't be selected anyway, it doesn't really matter. I have seen situations where jumping out of the APN screen and then back in will fix that problem, or a phone reboot. For some reason on some ROMs the APNs will temporarily grey out when you mess with them. As long as the 1st "Phone" APN is selected you're good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
that's what I have anyways thanks for the quick answer
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
this are my speeds after setting the new apn with the 06.06.30 radio got to say I'm impresed but I have hipri at the end the best speeds so far thanks again boss
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Thanks for the info. I'll change hipri to be at the end, since it's that way in the stock ROM and your results were better that way. I'm leaving fota off completely, since this is Firmware Over The Air, which no one with a rooted custom ROM wants to be getting OTA updates from AT&T or HTC.

Edit: OP has been updated to have hipri at the end of the APN type string.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ycode90:
Every time I try this I get "Unable to connect due to improper APN setting."
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Which ROM are you using? Were you having this issue with the old method and the new method I posted a few hours ago, or just the new method?
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
I'm using vu 1.29 with everything from scratch like in the op reboot and boom masterpiece thx to the michelangelo of apn settings henry bravo
[HTC Inspire 4G] ycode90:
I've tried both methods . On a few roms . I'm on VU 1.29 this time tho.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Hmmm that is odd. monkeyrasta.702 is using VU 1.29 as well, and he reports good results. Not sure what's going on, unless it's something regarding your market specifically.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I've used the settings on a hacked zip of the RUU, and 3 of the 4 custom ROM's in my sig, including VU, with no errors.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
"michelangelo of apn settings" LOL - glad to help out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Quick question Henry or anyone else who knows.

I noticed in lord geeks posts that he had "fota" listed in the apn type section, but its not listed in the open settings?

What is fota? And I'm assuming its not important since I've haven't seen any mention of it

No Hay de Queso No Mas de Papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
I'm using the fota but according to the op says is not needed
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
fota is Firmware Over The Air. Not needed (or wanted) for custom rooted ROMs. We don't want updates pushed to us from HTC or AT&T. Not that they'd work anyway. :)

Hi guys. I've been messing around with my apns and build.prop file for a long time now and no matter what I do the max i ever hit is 3.5 mbs down. But I average about 2.5 mbs down and 1.5 mbs up. I'm using the ota radio, matching ril and I am running Android Revolution 5.2.3. I live in the New York City area and you would think that the speeds would be fast around here. Even late at night my speeds don't even increase. I also am using the apn mod in the op. Thanks.

[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The AT&T networks in NYC and the San Francisco Bay area are known to have slow speeds due to oversaturation. The only fast solutions in NYC are Sprint 4G and Verizon LTE. If you're hitting 3.5 down, that is pretty good.

Alright thnx for the reply. I was getting kinda frustrated how people are hitting 6-8 down when i live near a major city. But now i know why. Thank you.

Using MIUI 1.8.5 and Radio: 12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M / Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0153HM

on AT&T with my Inspire and I make those changes and then reboot and then trying to get data up or try it again and go into airplane mode and then leave airplane mode I just get the following in the radio log under data connection:

"fail because data not subscribed"

When I revert back to default and reboot all is well. Anybody got any ideas (checked my typing to avoid typos, rebooted plenty times, fixed permissions,turned off data firewall, allowed "data while roaming" etc.).
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You got me curious, so I did a fresh install of MIUI 1.8.5v2. I was unable to replicate your problem. Here's exactly what I did: full wipe, flashed ROM, flashed audio fix, booted up ROM, rebooted again (instructions in the MIUI OP say to do this), deleted the stock APN, added the dual APN config just like in the OP of this thread. Tested web browsing, MMS and email - everything worked fine. I'm also using radio 26.10.04.03.

Sorry I can't help you. Maybe a full wipe / reinstall is in order.

Edit: I see you're using RIL 153 HM. I will flash that real quick to see if it's causing your problems.

Edit2: Still seeing no problems with RIL 153.

I did a full wipe now twice to no avail.

Had already done once before that, so 3 times now.

First I clean out sdcard manually, then checked md5sum of zip file. Matched.

Booted into recovery.

selected wipe data/factory reset.

Then selected wipe cache.

Then selected mounts and storage in main menu.

Then selected format cache.

Then format data.

Then format system.

Then go back.

Then install zip from sdcard.

Choose zip file.

Selected miui-ace-en-1.8.5_2.3.5_v.2.zip

Waited for completion.

Then selected mounts and storage in main menu.

Then mounted /system.

Then go back to main menu, no reboot.

Then install zip from sdcard.

Choose zip file.

Installed tiny audio patch.

Then selected mounts and storage in main menu.

Then mounted /system.

Then go back to main menu, no reboot.

Then install zip from sdcard.

Choose zip file.

Installed HTC-RIL 2.2.0153HM.zip

Then selected mounts and storage in main menu.

Then mounted /system.

Then go back to main menu, no reboot.

Then install zip from sdcard.

Choose zip file.

su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (Chains DD Superuser)

I basically installed the 4 packages in the order listed above and always made sure that /system was mounted.

After that I rebooted.

Then when I try to make the APN changes I loose all data connections.

I delete the default, add the two new apns and then reboot.

Also made the changes suggested here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061712

Rebooted, cleared out apn's , readded the new ones and rebooted, still nothing.

Maybe I will be doing some logcat tomorrow.

When I try to add the Phone APN via a program called APN Manager it refuses and says invalid APN.

What is kind of confusing to me, is that this always seemed to work on my phone before 1.8.5 ...... so yeah, I assume the problem is with the current MIUI build, just trying to find out what it might be ...

Thank you for your help and assistance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eagle2083:
The other thing I have not been doing lately anymore is rebooting after every zip install. Used to do it but getting old and lazy and have a kid at home that need a lot of supervision, so computer or smartphone time is scarce.

Thanks again for your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
One thing to note is the 153 RIL is not necessary so maybe you can try skipping that step the next time you do a fresh install. MIUI is based on CM7 so it comes with the same AOSP RIL that CM7 uses (2.2.0018G). This RIL works just fine with all Inspire radios so there is usually no reason to change it.

Something else you can try is

not

deleting the default APN, and just update it to make it look like this:

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

MCC: xxx (don't change)

MNC: xxx (don't change)

APN type: mms,supl (no spaces between the words and the comma)

APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4

Everything else: <Not set>

Press menu and save.

Now, add a

second APN

. (Menu --> New APN)

Name: MediaNet

APN: Phone

MCC: xxx (don't change)

MNC: xxx (don't change)

APN type: default,admin (no spaces between the words and the comma)

APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4

Everything else: <Not set>

Press menu and save.

Then select the 2nd MediaNet APN (round button on the right side). Maybe that will work.

And one last thing: what are your average upload / download speeds? If you're lucky, your market doesn't need the dual APN config anyway and you don't need to worry about this APN headache any more. :p
