Well I must be getting 3g+ then lol I called this tread 3g as not all of us are on 4g yet but this hack will work in on 4g and 3g network
[Galaxy S II General] Smith2001:
i'm getting 3g+ too tho on my phone it shows as H+

I think 4G is only in the USA, japan and south korea tho i could be wrong, were normally behind everyone when it comes to faster speeds.

still getting slow speeds here tho when i tried the hack. gonna try some more values now tho.
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
No you are completely right about the 4g thing, just read it myself. Remember you might have to turn off and turn on your phone 3 times for it to happen. Strange I know but that what the guide said and that is what I had to do and it worked for me.

I also get the H as well and I'm getting 6mbps so who knows lol

For anyone on the three network in the uk I will post what I had to add to the file so you know what to put. Everyone else can look at it and change it to cater for your network
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Right this is what I added to the file:

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.enable.dtm=0

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=12

ro.ril.enable.a53=0

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

Remember im on the three network so if anyone else is all you have to do is add the above to the file, everyone else has to chage the vales in the second line and the last line above
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
what are your apn settings?
[Galaxy S II General] Smith2001:
Used your settings, your right about the restart 3 times, very strange but it does seem to kick in then.

It seems i just live in an area that is used alot in the evenings. i bet theres lots of dongle users here (i am at an RAF base) speed seems to pick up about midnight and goes crap about 3pm.

Tho i have never seen it go over 2.5mb download in the day, even before this hack.

my APN is;

three.co.uk

I have tried;

3internet

that had no affect.
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
Off the Topic

On vodafone Uk if I disable fast dormancy ( *#9900#) I get speed improvements on both wifi and mobile network :D ( same code to enable it again )

Apparently it don't work for all networks, worth a shot....
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
This hack has nothing to do with APN settings at all and I think the dongle network and mobile network are on different systems as I did a speed test before I did the hack and the speed on my mobile and my laptop were soo fifteenth. Now I get the same speed on my mobile as I do with my laptop
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks, will try it out
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Everyone please let me know how you got on and what speed your getting now.

As I said I'm on the three network and it really improved my internet speed
[Galaxy S II General] marber45:
On three Sweden network.

Before hack i max around 7.5Mbps DL and 3.5Mbps UL.

Did not get better speeds with hack. If anything they were worse. But i think they were the same probably just a bad run.
[Galaxy S II General] saifbechan:
Thanks i will try this
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Sounds interesting HOWEVER i use 2 SIM cards in my phone, 80% of the time i am on Meteor and 20% Giff Gaff when im in the UK so is it possible for me to try and do this or is it not likely to work?
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Thanks for letting me know. Your speed is faster then the three network here! I would be happy with what you got before the hack. Remember it's all down to the network so you would not get faster speed then that as that's the Max for a 3g network I think
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
It will work for ONLY 1 simcard so choose what card you want the settings to work for. Or just change the values everytime you swap Sims
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Warning there are hack prop settings that try to implement class hsdpa that isn't even out of final draft in hsdpa specs, let alone implemented by hardware or even the networks.

I posted there theoretical max setting.

Chris
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Does these settings do what you just said?
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
ah right ill give it a miss then as i don't wanna have to keep changing it anytime i go to England.
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
That is very true. Sorry this could not help
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Actually i think you can push it further on three uk.

I found when researching last time that class 14 its max for three uk dongles so prob best you can get, 7 is what they market their regular mobile network at.

Class 20 is published max for the unreleased hercules 4g (same chip in sgsii if you believe soc manufacturer) but no uk network does 42 mbps so class 14 is sensible.

Class 12 mentioned a few pages back is gprs class I think.

Here's mine.

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14272889&postcount=67

This is the theoretical values, which its good info but not much use above certain thresholds.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14252462&postcount=55
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Hmm interesting, I thought class 12 would be good enough lol I might try going up to 14 but I don't want to push it too far lol my layout is differant to yours and I wonder why? Can you explain why for me so I know?
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
mine looks like his, what rom are you using, these setting are not improving my speed at all (700kbps):confused:
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
My hsxpa was typo. Corrected.

Rest of your setting are slightly lower settings. Hsdpa is old 3g+ probably taken from an old phone
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
I have been getting results between:

Down:Up(in kB/s)

721.9:201.0(6.16Mbps:1.60Mbps)

121.6:207.5

93.5:80.9

It varies a lot.

But its about spot on for cat 7 give or take.

I will try this mod and see what happens :)

on 3UK btw, in norwich ^_^

Also what a lot of american phone networks have been calling 4G is actually hsdpa. Though AT&T and verizon do have some LTE, and sprint some WiMax.
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Great I added the 3 lol will go back and change it now. So what would you say was the perfect settings for me is? I tried yours and it sort of helped with the dl speed but my ul speed went back down to 0.3mbps where before it was about 1.3mbps
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
According to GSM arena this is the max that the phone can do:

ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Thanks for clearing that up. They are the same settings that I had before I was told to go to 14 so I think I will go back to my original settings. If I mark dtm and a53 as 1 my net connection drops all the time but when I mark them down as 0 it's OK.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
3 reboots and some speedtests later:

Down:Up(Mbps)

1.19:1.53

1.34:1.51

1.34:1.22

So basically 3UK run a Cat 7 network with some heavy congestion issues at peak times ;)

Though, im not surprised as they have been advertising heverly, and they are the ONLY network left with a truely unlimited data plan :)

Interesting, I will try setting them to 0 and retesting :)
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Again interesting lol so basically I was right the first time?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Pretty much, well it doesnt seem like this mod will do much good for us on 3UK with this phone. Well, I would need to test again when the networks upto full speed, but goodness knows when that will be.

As it seems to default to the max that we can get at the moment :)

Tests with dtm and a53 =0:

Down:Up(Mbps)

1.08:1.53

1.68:1.65

0.82:1.59

To much deviation to get a real picture, but close enough to show that its not really helping.

KG1 modem btw.

Thats a though, I wonder what will happen if I try the KF2 modem(one I was using before, and got the 6Mbps reading on).
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
I got to stop saying interesting but it is lol I'm on KF1 and was hitting

about 6mbps this morning up to about 2 hours ago but now its back down to about 1.5mbps with my settings so I'm guessing the network is busy at the moment. You do know KF3 is out? I might try that myself but can I just flash KF3 modem to my phone via obin or what ever it is by it's self or do I need to flash the whole rom to my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
UPDATE!!!!!

Right so now I'm hitting about 5mbps at the moment so god knows if updating the modem is worth it lol I'm happy with 5mbps and the Max I can get is 6mbps so I don't know lol
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
KF2 Modem with dtm and a53 =0

Down:Up(Mbps)
1.91:1.58
2.37:1.51
1.74:1.55

Down:Up(Mbps)
0.26:1.52
0.38:1.63
0.29:0.82

(Woh! Dont use the KF2 modem with that setting!)

KF2 modem with no build.prop tweaks.

Down:Up(Mbps)
0.80:0.96
0.95:1.17
0.47:1.54
0.85:1.68

(Dont use the KF2 modem without ro.ril.enable.a53=0 and ro.ril.enable.dtm=0 it seems, well I cant be bothered to see if you need both or not)

KG1 Modem with no build.prop tweaks

Down:Up(Mbps)
1.57:1.57
1.10:1.31
0.34:1.20
0.66:1.33

KG1 Modem with full build.prop + dtm and a53 =1 (I had one random reboot with this setup)

Down:Up(Mbps)
1.52:1.60
1.64:1.63
1.29:1.55
1.46:1.27

KG1 Modem with full build.prop + dtm and a53 =0

0.54:1.47
0.49:1.57
0.52:1.55
0.51:1.69
0.53:1.65

With tweaks in the build.prop it seems to take the phone more time to spin up the data connection, without it the 3G/H icon pops up on boot almost, and data is avaliable, with the tweaks it seems to take 3+s after boot for the data connection to be avaliable. (after boot meaing once the media scanner has finished, about 2s max on my phone).

After all that I am going back to how mine was, with no tweaks ;)

But thats just me, enjoy the data, sorry its limited and not really statistically significant.

Just so you know, KF3 is older than KF2, its just a diff regon, also KG1 is out now, aka 2.3.4 (if you dont spend much time in dev ;] )

And time of day will have a huge effect on network performance, due to usage levels.

It also looks like downsteam gets blocked up much faster than upstream, no supprise there!

Also you can mix and match modems/roms/kernel/fairy dust as much as you want, but as I said KF3 is older than KF2 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
Just done more tests and I'm still hitting 5mbps. The only thing I have changed software wise is the kernel and that's 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 root@DELL103#2
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Kewl.

Just so you know, thats a VERY old kernel.

I would advise upgrading to KF2 at least, same goes for the whole rom, theres stock ones about if you dont want to go the custom rom route ;)
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
It was the only kernel I could find that was compatible with my SGS2 that would root my phone. I got burned messing around with custom roms on my SGS as they never worked as well as a stock rom. I know 2.3.4 rom is out for the first time I'm really happy with the stock rom I got on my phone and it works well so I think I'm going to stick with what I got until I find a problem and I can't fix it but thanks very much for the heads up. By the way I'm still hitting 5mbps lol Man I'm soo glad I read lots of stuff and found the hack and made it work for my phone lol
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Lucky so and so, maybe i should find some 3UK users in the area and bump them off till the network congestion drops ;)

(RE Kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 ever kernel you will ever need, the best bet is to use the same one as your rom)
[Galaxy S II General] AceSGS:
What benefits am I going to get if I flash this kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] IakobosJ:
Tried the max settings on my phone here on T-Mobile UK and it did absolutely nothing at all :(

I am on 3 uk and I got 6.2mps before speed hack and 4.2mbps after. I returned it back to standard and got 6.2mbps again.

Hi guys I would really want to try this tweak but I don't have a clue where to start. The video guide in the x10 forums, can I use it as my guide? How do you do it manually? Thanks :)

Can't I just edit the build.prop? Sorry kinda new to this adb thing.
[Galaxy S II General] raxwow:
Can anybody post the hack?
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Follow the link I posted, *but* use the values from this thread.

In summary you are pulling /system/build.prop editing it in a unix friendly text editor, then pushing it back; then rebooting.

Wow... Sharp increase of download speed with max setting. From around 300kb/s to 993 kb/s. However for some reason the upload speed test seems to have reduced
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Using the quoted max speeds on gsm arena, and comparing them to the table of speeds:classes

The s2 is

Gprs: class 12

Hsdpa (download) : class 14 (21megs/sec max, very grew networks are that fast though, and you are unlikely to see anywhere close to those speeds in real world teata)

Hsupa : class 6 (upload)

Remeber these are max values and its all very network dependant, depends on congestion and if the towers have enough backhall
[Galaxy S II General] Smith2001:
its very strange,

I tried all the these settings on my orignal Darky 2.3.4 rom and nothing happened

i tried again with the infusion 2.3.4 rom and it worked - to a certain degree

When i reboot for the 3rd time and run speedtest.net after killing all other apps AND my icons have gone ASOP green it improves the speed 2-3 times better (still utter ****e at 1300kbps download) but give it another 3 mins and try again and its back to the normal 150-300kbps speeds download. The upload is not affected and is always high in the 1500kbps area.

I rang 3 and they said its just because more users go on line in the evening and they are upgrading a nearby mast in 10 days so i should see a mild improvement but other than that its tuff and leave with it,

proper good stuff i must say.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Yes mate. Either do it on your PC (easy way!) or open it with something like Root Explorer and edit it directly. Just make sure to take a backup 1st ;)
[Galaxy S II General] SammyBoyWonder:
I'm also on the three network (the one plan) but my download speed is never over 200kbps. lately its been as low as 40 - 70 kbps. I've called three so many times but they keep telling me to remove the sim card and restart the phone. As a last resort I've just rooted my fone (mainly to use this method). I've tried the settings you suggested above but I'm still getting the same slow download/upload speeds.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I copy the above settings and paste it to the end of the file opened in notepad (with build.prop worktool v1.7). is that the correct?

Ok so im gonna give this a bash, I'm currently in a weak signal area so I guess this will make a difference to me, yesterday I was getting H+ while out and about and got 6.1Mbps down,

The best we get in the UK is 3.5G (unless you were in the testing area). 4G rollout is expected to start next year :-) (sorry if this has already been said).
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
So I tried this out, but kept getting 4mb to 5mb down all the time. However, after reverting back to my stock build.prop I got these very nice results. Second screenshot says umts because it didn't switch to hspa till the speedtest was already running. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the max speed we could get was 7.2mb? Can't complain really, was getting 4-5mb during the evening so no surprises that the network obviously thrives when the world is asleep :D

For some reason I feel that my music sometimes chooses the stock music player as default. For example on the notifications it will open the stock music player if I click the currently running song in Google Music. (see attached screenshot)
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
Go in to application management in settings, find the stock music application and select clear defaults. Then try clicking the notification in the pull down bar and it should give you the option of selecting either the stock music application or the google music application. Select thr google music application as default.

If that doesn't work you could try removing the stock music application with titanium backup
[G2 and Desire Z General] Abolfazl:
Worked :D

Is there anyway to have it also show the album art and song info too on the lockscreen?

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

OK, I haven't figured it out at all. I am trying to use Titanium to remove the stock music app. Titanium says the phone will reboot twice and the app will be irreversibly removed. So it reboots to the screen with the triangle with the exclamation mark inside with the android next to it and it stays like that until I hit the key to get to the menu. I choose Reboot Now, which it does, but it never reboots a second time and the stock player is still there. What the heck am I doing wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
weird I never have to reboot to remove an app with TB, and i removed my stock music app many times! Weird... did you click uninstall in TB? Is TB up to date? I'm gonna assume your rooted...
[G2 and Desire Z General] loomism2:
TB actually pops up a message that says the phone will reboot twice, then the app will be gone. I was able to remove the old Google Music app using Terminal Emulator so it all worked out in the end. I just don't know why TB didn't work.

Thats why I have never had it ask to reboot for ANYTHING lol. It just does it's magic and poof done.

Kind of like all the App Store BS that is going on. One of the latest, LINK.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Apple is getting a bad Rep, people are leaving apple and going to android in droves. It seems like all their resources are going into suing the competition and anything remotely "app" or "apple" instead of providing better products to satisfy their customer base.

Pretty soon having a device with the shiny apple logo on the back will no longer be cool and trendy.

Oh I fully expect to see a iphone/iPod. 3D by late next year, same screen and specs at out EVOs. Engadget will give it a 10/10. Its marketed as revolutionary or even evolutionary (haha) and apple will get sue happy on LG and HTC over 3d tech on portable devices.

this is a sign showing that Apple is finally scared of losing ground to other manufacturers. Guess what HTC and Samsung, two of the hottest selling smartphone makers are being targeted by apple, I mean they are just trying to target their strongest competition. If motoroal was breaking records they would be sued as well. Apple is starting a sound like a cry baby these days.
[HTC EVO 3D] mr.orange303:
Xda needs to become a patent holder of some sort. Leeches like apple steal ideas that developers at Xda have had for years. They actually get patents to this stuff and credit for it.

Then after they have the nerve to sue. Not just Xda I know of several other tech and independent sites where these devs are getting ripped off.

Now that's the American dream.

They can find loopholes in every company in existance and sue them, I'm not going to purchase an iPhone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Of course they are suing everyone. They have almost nowhere to go with the way they developed their stuff and the changes between their phones are minimal at best. A little faster, etc...but nothing major.

Couple that with the fact that Android is starting to mature as a platform and other companies are starting to really take a bite out of the fruit.
[HTC EVO 3D] newbietown:
Have to agree with mr orange. Most people dont like to believe a lot of apples ideas are rebranding of other people's ideas but its true. What can developers do but try get a patent for themselves.

Also, mymac ad on this page is pretty ironic
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
My 7 year old wants an iPod touch. Is there something comparable that runs android? Not a phone. I was thinking a cheap used ipod off ebay for 100 but I don't think I can stomach an apple product in my house. Maybe a small tablet but needs to perform without locking up and running at least froyo.
