I have not tried yet but since no one has and probably will not, at least for awhile lol. Just wanna say thank you for putting the time and effort into, in my oppinion , such a huge project :)

Will probably take a bit to get all the little kinks of diffrent roms,devs , peoples set ups . Again thank you and thanks for the huge tech support hours you will be putting in,:)

Redownload the mod and rerun the CWM flashable .zip, the updater script in there was the wrong one, my fault!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Haha, I am ready for the hours. Fortunately, my method SHOULD work for any ROM for the Inspire, as it only affects certain files. We shall see, I suppose!

Locked APN?

I didn't come up with a locked APN after the procedure. They are all currently unlocked. I started with two:

MMS and MediaNet

I now have 4, they are "Entitlement", "MEdia Net", "MEdiaNet", and "MMS"

Not sure which to pick.

EDIT: It appears that my MediaNet and your Media Net are the same APN, and I am unable to choose Entitlement. I guess that answers that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Choose menu then reset to default.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ou4me:
I'm not sure that was what was needed. I ended up with the default APN from my UltimateDroid ROM, which has some missing parameters and has always been very slow. In fact, I went from no appreciable speed increase with the procedure and 4 APNs to now quite a speed decrease. I'm going to add back the MediaNet APN. Let me know if I need any of the others added in there. ie: Entitlement.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
You shouldn't, the new telephony.db should have provided two new APN's at that point. That is the purpose of copying it over.
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
Speeds are just as bad, if not worse for me. Granted, do NOT use my experiences to see if you should install this or not, as I'm not using AT&T for my service, I'm using Straight Talk.

What about the build.prop edits? Do those edits work on their own or do they need the telephony.db in order to fully function properly...??
[HTC Inspire 4G] d1nonlyhogfan:
Pleasantly surprised. Here are my before and after #'s:

Before test #1 -- 1330 kbps down/1267 kbps up

Before test #2 -- 2672 kbps down/1126 kbps up

After test #1 -- 3511 kbps down/1303 kbps up

After test #2 -- 3310 kbps down/1293 kbps up

Nearly a full Mb better down after the tweak. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Those are independent, they do not require the telephony.db.

I will say, building a DB from scratch with no issues is kind of a pain, lol. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
so i did this yesterday on inspired saga, but restored a backup of ARHD 3.0 but now I can't find the folder teh telephony.db is stored in.

I can find the \data folder but there doesnt seem to be anything else in there.

I tried with ES and Astro file explorers.

Does this have anything to do with ARHD3 being froyo?
[HTC Inspire 4G] killersloth:
I'm not discrediting anything here, but from my own personal experience with pretty much every rom for this thing, I get my improved data speed back by just filling in the right info into ATT apn, and adding the MediaNet manually. Takes 30 seconds.

For non AT&T carrier (non US carriers), what is the optimum configuration ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] HDCS:
This just isn't applying the files when I install the zip file in CWM. I get no errors but when I go back in after rebooting there's no changes in build.prop and putting the telephony.db file into place does not seem to add any locked APN entries. I get a dup Media Net entry (though slightly different from the previous one I had there) but that's it.

I've poured back and forth through the instructions but I don't seem to be missing anything. I'm certain I'm doing things properly. The only things that I've deviated on were installing the radio as I'd previously flashed that version and I already had prop editor on board.

Any suggestions on other things to try?

I'm on CM7 stable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knuckleheadAj3:
You have to manually input the changes for the build.prop. Only adjust the lines mentioned in the OP, and any lines you don't see in your build.prop you have to add in. And make sure you hit the save button before you exit out of prop editor.

[HTC Inspire 4G] HDCS:
Both the prop editors I use don't seem to allow making new entries. I'm missing the same four someone pointed out early on in the thread. Prop editor has some other known ones to build off of but I can't input new ones. Am I missing how to do that in the app somewhere?

And I need to go back and rebuild my APNs now. In a panic, I reset to default and now I've only got wap.cingular left. Grr. Gotta go find that thread again..... Recopying the telephony.db and twice rebooting didn't bring 'em back I was certain that's where they were coming from. Ah well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] killersloth:
If you are using CM7 stable, try this:

1.dont do anything mentioned in the OP

2. under your "ATT" apn, you will need to add a few things

*proxy: wireless.cingular.com

*port: 80

*password: CINGULAR1

*apn type: default,mms,supl

then save.

3. add a new apn, theres only a few values for this apn:

*name: MediaNet

*apn: Phone

*apn type: default,admin,fota

save, then select MediaNet as your apn. maybe reboot? i dunno but my speeds with cm7.0.3 are spectacular by doing just that.

also, with cm7 if you flashed a strange radio and RIL that can lead to horrible data speeds, no need for RIL's with cm7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knuckleheadAj3:
If you use Prop Editor (the one from this thread) all you have to do is just tap on whatever entry in the build.prop and it will give you the option of manually changing the entry. When you need to add an entry that isn't there, press the menu button and select "Add property".

Another method is to use Root Explorer. Open up root explorer, scroll down to system, tap it, and then you should see build.prop in the next screen. Before you even mess with the build.prop, hit the button in the top right hand corner to change it from "Mount R/O" to "Mount R/W". Then, long press on build.prop, and in the popup menu scroll down and select "Open in Text Editor". Then all you have to do is just edit the build.prop like you would in a Notepad on a PC.

If none of that works for you....then super secret option #4 is to wipe/format everything in CWM and start over again....

How does this radio differ from the 12.52.60.25u_26.09.04.11_m2 radio? I tried finding the list of radios in release order but I couldn't. I'm running Leedroid and the 12.52.60.25u_26.09.04.11_m2 radio is the recommended one. I'm getting a max of about 6.5mbps up and 1.18mbps down. Obviously I want the fastest speeds possible but I don't want to mess things up if there is no need haha, should I even bother? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
That radio is for Desire HD's, not Inspire 4G or Telus DHD's. You can always reflash that radio if need be. If you are on AT&T, these are the settings and info that have at least gotten me almost 9mb down speeds. LeeDroid, AR, RCMix, are all originally built for and optimized for the Desire HD, whereas these settings are optimized for the Inspire. I can't promise they will be better, but they sure have been for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Ok so can I just simply do the fastboot method with this radio?

Has anyone done anything testing with TPGB-CM20110509 (2.3.4)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] HDCS:
I finally got everything in place. The prop editor thing was my bad sort of. I was scrolling to the bottom and selecting the manual entry but it seems to be a little buggy as it would give me an existing property sometimes. Quitting the app and going back in to edit the file would make sure I get a new blank property.

But, alas, I'm going to have to bail on this tweak attempt. I got everything to the letter sans a locked APN entry, for which I just guessed at which to use :D. But no matter which APN I choose I get stubbornly slow connection attempts and GPS cannot find a single satellite when previously I was getting 10+ locks. Ah well, going to roll back to the old telephony.db and build.prop. But the new radio is definitely staying as that's been much improved. Silly AT&T, why you got to be like that with the connection throttling on a new phone?:(

Thanks to the man in Dallas for sharing his hard work on this. Hopefully if it gets to working reliably, it'll make it in to the ROM streams.

Any idea why the RIL in the zip is for one of the GB test radios?

# getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49)

This radio to be exact:

RIL_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M.............HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM (Jan 27 2011,16:12:49)

Does anyone have the proper RIL for the latest AT&T radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Unless id10terrordfw has changed the RIL to 99 (I thought he was using 79 since it comes with the updated stock ROM) it looks like the RIL didn't update on your phone. There have been a couple of times that I've had to manually mount the /system partition in CWR before flashing the RIL in order for it to take.

RIL 79 is also in this thread if you need it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yup, I have been noticing that too. I will be updating soon (I Promise!) and will add that to the instructions.

Updated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xero91:
Thanks!

Just to confirm, the radio in this thread shipped with the HTC-RIL 2.2.0079HM RIL? Shouldn't be any issues with this RIL on GB, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
None at all, it works great.

Matched radio/rill

Once you find the radio you want, go into the ROM Manager and select Download ROM, go to gtg465x and select his RIL Flasher. He has three RILs listed for for these Radios. It will match the RIL to the radio you already have.

[HTC Inspire 4G] xero91:
Just wanted to provide an update after 2 days of testing the radio in this thread (I know everyone's mileage may vary...). It seems like the battery drain, even with the matched RIL, is much worse than the previous stock AT&T radio on CM7. The wifi also seems to be weaker with this radio.

I've actually moved over to 26.06.04.14 which is the matched radio to the RIL that CM7 nightlies are shipping with. I used it for about a month prior to testing different radios it's got the best balance of signal strength and battery life I've seen. FWIW, I'm using this primarily on Long Island and in NYC.

I will say that the tweaks to build.prop definitely seem to be helping with max and sustained speed. Thanks again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Did you ever try this combination: updated stock radio (26.06.06.30) combined with the RIL that comes with the CM7 nightlies (2.2.0099HM)? That's been working great for me. Sounds like you've already found your sweet spot though.

after I make the prop changes, I can't send mms. restore the prop, and I can send again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
OK so I need help. I put my old radio on and my old build prop because of the mms issue and I get my old good speeds but now I can't turn on my hot spot. please help. Is there something I'm missing to revert back?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
You would probably need to recreate the third APN, like the post in the General section that deals with that describes. Let me see if I can find it.

Edit: Here ya go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xero91:
I had this setup initially before flashing the 79HM RIL that's recommended. I had better speeds with 99HM than 79HM but I only tested for a couple hours with this config.

I find this 26.06.04.14 radio has better battery life and wifi signal strength than 26.06.06.30 though so I'm sticking with 26.06.04.14 for now.

What ROM are you running?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
If I flash radios, I neeed to reinstall my current ROM??o.0

And I useed the simple-root guide thing and have s-off (as it says on hbootscreen)...so Im already qualified right?

Or do I neeed to have eng s -off and radio -soff and all those?

Im already rooted with a Rom if it wasnt clear...
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Flashing the radio doesn't touch your ROM, so you don't need to worry about reinstalling it.

S-off is all that's needed to flash a radio via the bootloader method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thekurrgan:
I tried this each step of the way and was interested to see the difference each step made.

My area is notoriously bad for dropping WCDMA connections back to GSM due to "congestion", and all devices I have used do it, but some do it more than others.

Using the iPhone 4 as the control, I have observed that the Inspire drops 3G about half the time during a speed test, and the iPhone 4 is about 1 in 10. (Tested 10 times, off set (not running at the same time)). Pretty much anything that ramped the connection up causes it to drop on the tower I was hooked to. This behavior was observed with all roms i've tried on the Inspire, with the exception of LeeDroid which was improved. CM7 was the absolute worst and wouldnt hold a 3g connection to save its soul.

However I installed CM7 again to test after readin this thread, and tried a few things.

The APN did nothing for me what so ever, speed was the same (2.4 - 3.8Mbit down, 1.0 - 1.1 up)

The change for me occured after installing the new RIL which lead to FAR fewer drops back to GSM. I continued and started modifying build.prop

The setting that seemed to fix it was adding ro.ril.enable.ucsq=2

Since that property was added it has not dropped a 3G connection. To test that it wasnt a fluke, I removed it and rebooted twice, to find that the did indeed start the problem again.

This was my white whale since I got the Inspire, since the only solution I had on my Captivate was to force WCDMA Band 2 and it worked like a champ. This seems to have done the trick for me, and speeds are fairly steady.

Note about this test, I am in an area where there are both WCDMA 850 and 1900 bands present and usable. This may have an impact since the phone does switch between the two.

On that note, has any one found a way to lock this phone to a specific band? The WCDMA 1900 band works MUCH better here for speed than the 850 does, and most of the time the phone uses 850.

Now to the most important part, thanking the guys who put this together.

Thanks man!
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
What new ril are you referring to? Cm7 has not been kind to me with data speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
what do these fields do:

ro.ril.enable.sdr=0 (this is set to 1 in tpgb)

ro.ril.enable.ucsq=2

ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=0

ro.ril.att.feature=1

ro.ril.enable.gea3=1

ro.ril.radio.svn=3
[HTC Inspire 4G] jtsurfs:
I did the steps outlined, not sure if I should be doing step 6 (with the note it is sort of confusing). When I go to select the APN I cannot get the MediaNet to stay selected. When I select Medianet it automatically switches back to ATT.

The speed tests are only marginally better than what I had before....

Edit - So I did step 6 copying the telephony.db, set the corrections for read/write, rebooted, got the phone fc, rebooted into recovery, corrected permissions, rebooted, and now the speed is slightly better. I am at least getting a little more consistent 1.5 down and 1.1 up. before I was getting between .5-1.5 down and .3 up. After chatting with the ATT rep, he explained in the Southern California area the speeds can be reduced if you are closer to the coast. I will monitor this over the next few days and see how it works.

Been wanting to try this for awhile now, but I have no clue what adb is, yet I always here it being used. I'd like to know if it is possible for me to open the rom zip I'm using in Winrar and get to the build.prop to change settings there by using notepad and assume I can achieve the same results if I fresh install after these changes and then apply the apn fix?

[HTC Inspire 4G] bliind:
Of course, didn't run any speed tests BEFORE I start trying to make improvements, but after changing APNs (came across that thread first) I was getting about 1600k download (only 1 bar of service) and after the new radio and RIL, I get about 1000. My upload speeds were greatly increased by the APN changes.

I'm going to be doing speed tests and also comparing with other Inspires, I'll let you know what my findings are. The drop in speed could be server congestion, it did take me a few minutes to get everything done, though it's 3am here, I doubt there's many people using the same tower. Could be anything though, going to do more speed tests.

Don't mount /system. It won't flash if you do.

I'm working on an update for this thread, it isn't totally out of date, just the downloads for the old radio/RIL. The instructions remain mostly the same for the newer Sense builds, just using the radio/RIL from 2.47 official.
[HTC Inspire 4G] deeno33:
Worked great for me....best is 10mb. down, 2mb. up, thanks much...
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
I did, yes. Prop editor showed up for me, and the oddest thing happened when I flashed the zip... It showed me the script for the Lordmod kernel installation. Now, I have CM's kernel installed before AND after, just found it odd.

At this point, I think I'm going to go with the stock RUU, get any OTA updates available, and then try looking at my rom options then. I'd prefer CyanogenMod, but if I have to do a SenseLess type of ROM, so be it. Too bad nobody has done a ROM like FROST (for the EVO), that was a great mix of Sense and AOSP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The reason for that is I copied his updater script rather than rewrite my own to get it up and running. I am doing that now.

Odd that it all works great on my personal phone on CM7 as well as RCMix, as well as my coworkers with RCMix, yet others, not so much.

This is why we Nandroid. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Here are my two 'turtle' questions. :D

1) Will this affect my signal strength at all? Since the OTA update, I went from 4 bars H to reverting down to Edge/GPRS. Been dropping calls like crazy the past few days, and it's making me nuts. (I'm running RCMix 6.1)

2) If we already have the rado/RILs from another source, and Prop editor is already installed, can we just flash and then edit parameters instead of applying your files?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The flashing part is just the Radio, RIL, and Prop Editor. If you already have all that, you just need to do the prop editing and telephony.db. Basically that means you have already completed a few steps. I can't promise it will fix signal strength issues, but it may help.

Edit: Uploaded new pack with my own update-script
[HTC Inspire 4G] ou4me:
I'm not sure if it's a ROM issue or not, but I recopied the telephony.db again, with the same results. 4 APN's. Reset to default deletes all but the stock WAP apn that comes with UltimateDroid. Would it be possible for you to list the APNs as they should be, and I can check and add them manually. Sorry to be a bother, but thanks if you can. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
These are what the locked ones are. (the ones I am using.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Gotcha. From where do we get the 'telephony.db' file if we're doing the 'manual' process? I've added about a half dozen strings via prop editor, but I'm not seeing that .db file anywhere (trying with both ES file explorer and Astro). Can we manually add/edit the existing APN? I'm on RCM 6.1, so the APNs are unlocked.

ETA: BTW, signal strength is still in the tank. Only 1-2 bars, and bounces in and out of Edge/GPRS. WTF????
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
It is in my zip pack. When you extract it you will see it. Once you reboot the APNs should already be there, you just have to select the dot next to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ou4me:
Thanks for that! Oddly, I do not have the "MMS Protocol" line even available in my APN settings. It's just NOT there. I feel sure it used to be there, although I cannot verify it. In any case, Im not seeing much in the way of results from this. Although, this is a bad time of the day to be trying to get great speeds. I'll keep checking back on this thread and keep hoping...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Is the telephony.db supposed to be empty?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
No, it should be 11k in size. The one that is presently in the folder is probably much, much larger because it contains info about worldwide carriers and their settings, which are really unnecessary.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I'm almost beginning to wonder after all the trouble you have had if you don't have a bad antenna. It is not impossible, only improbable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Yes, the file is 11K, but a sqlite3 .dump shows no tables nor data in the database.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
speeds are roughly the same, but signal strength is worse
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Um, then the dump was from an incompatible version. I am looking at the tables now...
