[HTC Amaze 4G] Class_of_punk26:
Or just edit it with romtoolbox lite like I do its way more simple but sadly those settings in my build.prop disappeared in my build.prop lol not only that these settings don't work what's so ever it's like those placebo apps believe me I tried this so many times all it done was dropped my speeds
[HTC Amaze 4G] dpsi:
Some clarification on why this may or may not work for you.

Essentially what you are doing is telling the phone to connect to networks using a certain class. Our device the Amaze has a maximum of speed of 42.2 Mbps on HSPA+. However this does not mean you will get those speeds. Your network itself has to be capable and allow high speed connections. These are categorized as "category". For example Mobilicity's network has a theoretical maximum of 21.1, this a category 14 HSDPA connection. Oddly enough OP is recommending setting this to category 28, even though the Amaze can only support up to 24.

As for the other settings, there is a lack of information whether or not they are accurate, but I highly doubt that the HSUPA category should be set to 7, it is likely a 5, or a very slim chance at a 6. The GPRS setting is useless for users on AWS networks like T-Mobile, Wind and Mobilicity.

Also, to explain why speed test can be inconsistent and the random server selections.

Most if not all networks APN settings enforce the usage of a proxy. On certain carriers, such as mobilicty this is not required and can be manually removed. What happens is that when you use your data, it proxies the connection to wherever the proxy is located. For example on Mobilicity the proxy server is located in Ontario. So in practice, with the proxy enabled, a speedtest to a server in Ontario is faster than one to a server in my present location. However if I remove the proxy from the APN settings, I get lowered latency (ping) and higher speeds to a local server. Of course when removing something things can happen and on Mobilicity, the payment.mobilicity.ca site is broken.

Your mileage may very.

tl:dr OP is making our phones connect on unsupported connection standards giving us a 50/50 chance on improvement.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
My original settings were:

ro.ril.gprsclass=14

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=32

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.hsxpa=5

Suggested settings:

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.hsxpa=4

So all of my settings were lowered and hsupa stayed the same. Are these the only settings everyone used? I did notice a 3mb/s download and a 2mb/s upload increase after changing the numbers. Do lower numbers increase your speed? Has anyone tried any other numbers with increased speed?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dpsi:
Very interesting. I wonder what the stock build.prop has. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access#User_Equipment_.28UE.29_categories and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Uplink_Packet_Access#Versions list various classes.

Amaze only has Dual-cell capablility and no MIMO. What network are you on? I have seen speculation that requesting a higher release degrades performance on some carriers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
A T-Mobile affiliate
[HTC Amaze 4G] dpsi:
T-Mobile has a theoretical speed of 42, so HSDPA release 24 should be flawless, ofcourse its rare to get such speeds, but in theory thats what you should be able to get.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
I got those results running rc1 infusion. Now I'm on super sense and my speeds are half that. Any reasons why?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
My build.prop settings were the Mobilicity ones. Gonna change them to the suggested ones next update. :cool::thumbup:

You guys should get rom toolbox and edit your build.prop and see if there is a difference in the meantime.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
I edited both build props for infusion and super sense using root browser. I had much faster speeds on infusion. I'm wondering why my speeds are slower on super sense while using the 'suggested' settings on both roms? Also, where can I edit these settings for a HTC Sensation? I tried looking for these same settings using root browser, but I couldn't find them.

Edit: Nevermind, I found the answer for the Sensation question.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
In another post you say a majority of Amaze roms are T-Mobile based. What are you doing putting Mobilicity's settings in your rom? Lol :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I had a Homer Simpson moment. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
Just a quick question since this threat is so old, but nobody seems to be screaming that it's obsolete to the guy that bumped it. So does this mean this speed fix isn't prebuilt into most of the new/newish released roms out here? So do viperamaze and CM have these build prop fixes and I shouldn't waste my time on this or has this fix just been overlooked and not integrated into our roms yet?

edit: Well it hit me it takes absolutely nothing to ad the very least just go ahead and peak inside the build.prop of a rom I've already downloaded and it appears that viper doesn't even have the lines stated in the OP so I'm gunna guess that the answer would be that it wouldn't do much good then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
That's correct. I played with it and saw no benefit.

I tweaked out viper amaze build prop and don't think there's much more to do to it.

Let this thread rest in peace!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
Yeah I had the free time so I just copied and pasted the fix into the build.prop and backed up the old one to see what would happen and upon testing it there wasn't much difference,and what variance in speeds I did see could be attributed to my less than perfect signal in my home.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
Ok but as it says, its hit or miss for everyone. I did see my speed increase. You won't see the effects happen right away. You also need to reboot after editing. So, based on that, I still think this could be beneficial for some people out there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
Well I know this contradicts my speed tests but I left the lines of data in since they seemingly did nothing and today when I used grooveip to do voip I noticed that I got less latency than I'd ever gotten before with this phone in the same spot as before. Could be a number of other factors so I can't rule this as the number one cause but I think it might have helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nyc_zx10:
When I try and hold volume up or down to skip a track, when listening to music, it wakes the phone. I'm still running the GO Launcher that comes with it and have gone through the settings to try and locate any type of setting to revert this but can't find anything ?

When I received my XOOM it had asked for a sim card and all was working fine whether I use my mobile network or wifi,but after a latest update it has stopped reading sim card and mobile network settings are disabled,is it possible that Motorola pushed wifi only XOOM updates and it was not meant for this model?

What rom are you running?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris122380:
When a system app is updated seems to store the old version on the systems folder and the new version on the SD card. Is there a way to merge the new version onto the system? Once merged there is only the system version like it was when the ROM first was installed. I thought I did this once before but don't remember how or what I used to do it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you would need to remove the app from the system partition and then install the newer one in its place, if it wasnt this way when your phone got corrupt by a bad update and you had to do a factory reset then you would be stuck with the same corrupt apk. so unless you absolutely need dont bother, and if you do the easiest way would probably be through root explore or similar file manager.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris122380:
Titanium pro does it but not worth the $5 or $6. Used to do it for free just not remember the apps name.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
you can always copy the apk over using terminal

put it at the root of your sdcard and type

su
mount /system -o remount,rw
cp /sdcard/updatedapp.apk /system/app/appyouwanttoreplace.apk
mount /system -o remount,ro

Careful though, you don't want to accidentally brick

Make sure the app works and if it's an important app you might want to do it from recovery because it may be running

in recovery you type the following in console (Amon_RA Recovery):

mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/updatedapp.apk /system/app/appyouwanttoreplace.apk

Make sure the app update works though, or else you'll get force closes

also may be a good idea to backup the original app with something like:

cp /system/app/blah.apk /sdcard/blah.apk.backup

Then if anything and you need to restore do this from recovery console:

cp /sdcard/blah.apk.backup /system/app/blah.apk

yes i really love console:D
[HTC Sensation] keiv wang:
So I rooted my XE yesterday and it all went fine. Just now, I installed an ISC rom with sense 3.6 from revolution HD. I followed the instructions perfectly and when I installed the rom zip it said that the installation was a success. The problem is that I don't see anything different with my phone except that it is slightly faster. I even checked the program information and it says that I'm running the 2.3.4 version with sense 3.0... it should be 4.x.x. but apparently something is wrong? anyone got an idea?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Now i know this is a slightly obvious question but are you SURE you flashed the ICS ROM?

EDIT: Also some screenshots would be handy
[HTC Sensation] keiv wang:
Well, i opened the super something zip, and then the revolution HD zip in recovery mode. Then I rebooted the phone. That was pretty much it.

And just now I tried to take screenshots with my phone but it didn't work... tried several times :mad:

EDIT: It says that the program serial number (rough translation from swedish) is "Android Revolution HD 3.613 by Mike1986"
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
thats coz you flashed the android 2.3.4 version of mikes ROM, his latest is 6.2.1 for sensation xe
[HTC Sensation] keiv wang:
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure it was the right one. But that page was full of roms, maybe i downloaded the wrong one. Would really really really appreciate if you could link the right one :)

But hey I didn't do anything besides that. Like I didn't install no firmware or anything, but I took a backup with titanium backup
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Im pretty sure you flashed the android 2.3.4 version :)

For ICS ROM's you absolutly NEED to update your firmware, there is a link here in my FTP darkforest.violishious.com/Firmware

[HTC Sensation] keiv wang:
Thanks guys! just two more things... the instructions say that I need to put the firmware in the root folder, but they never mention unzipping it... should it just stay there?

And what is that Radio thing, is it nessecary for me to flash RADIO?
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
You shouldn't to any unzipping broski. Just copy the zip files to the root of your sdcard and just install it using 'install from sdcard' in recovery. Remember to do a superwipe beforehand. ;)

As for the radio, ARHD 6.2.1 already comes with the latest recommended radio if I understand correctly.
[HTC Sensation] keiv wang:
Well, Mike linked to a Radio file in his post.

So I just need to put the firmware, ROM, and super wipe in my root folder, unzip the super wipe first, then the firmware and then the ROM. then I just reboot. Am I right?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you are trying to flash ARHD 6.2.1,use THIS GUIDE.

You do not need to "unzip" anything.

[Atrix 4G General] dp28688:
I Have Atrix with netrino rom 2.2ee. but general question anyone getting 150Mbps link speed thru there router? best i can get is 72Mbps and coworker has Atrix2 he gets 64Mbps.
[Atrix 4G General] omni_angel7:
Are you paying for 150mbps?! I don't even want to image THAT bill :O
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Well, here's a question. Is anything else connected to the router while you're performing these speed tests?
[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
How are you performing your test?I can't imagine a reliable test could even be performed on the atrix.

Even for my phone the results vary. The results on the speedtest.net app will be much different then visiting speedtest.net on the browser (obviously not default I use opera)

Anyways what type of service do you have?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
You talking about your actual internet speed dl, or file transfer speed within your network? I cannot get 150Mbps through my router with file transfers. I max out at 25Mbps with my internet speed, but that's all the bandwidth I get anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] jadwv2210:
The speed depends on what the hardware is capable of. The 802.11n standard supports up to 300Mbps in theory. In theory because hardware hasn't been made that is capable of transmitting at that speed. And he is no doubt talking about through a local network. If he is talking about internet bandwidth, I envy him lol.
[Atrix 4G General] grenefroggie:
I am assuming the OP is referring to the modulation rate his phone is connecting to the router with. I don't know a lot about the wireless adapter in the Atrix aside from it being able to do 802.11 a/b/g/n. However, I am pretty sure the N capability of the wireless adapter has the highest modulation rate of 72Mbps when running on 1 chain in a 20Mhz channel (to my knowledge the Atrix only has one Wi-Fi antenna in it). So assuming you have a great Wi-Fi signal to your wireless router and low noise, 72Mbps is the highest modulation rate your phone will achieve. In order to achieve 150Mbps, the wireless access point you connect would have to be running in 40Mhz channels before the phone could benefit from the router's 150Mbps capability.

Since the Atrix is 802.11a capable, I bought a dual band router and reap the benefits of being the only one in my neighborhood using a 5Ghz capable router. While I only connect at best with 54Mbps, I can still gobble up 11Mbps down. Not too shabby.

If you want to shell out some cash you can get a router that in theory can reach 450Mbps with the matching adapter. I don't know of a laptop or other device that comes on the shelf with that type of adapter. The routers and adapters have a 3x3 setup, so if all three chains are enabled, and you live in a Faraday cage, you could theoretically get 450Mbps out of it. A bit extreme right now, as most people don't have a clue about the benefits of 5Ghz and using that for media like set top boxes home media streaming. LinkSys actually have a nice 4 port Wi-Fi adapter specifically for that. Plus in your PS3, XBox, satellite receiver and Popcorn Hour and you are good to go! No wires needed with the exception of the cables to the adapter.

Worlds fastest wireless network - 1.2Tbps. :D

But yeah, you're right............traditional wireless won't do it.
[Atrix 4G General] dp28688:
yea its plenty fast at the 72 i connect was just curious because the laptop connects at different speed. I have samba share installed so have a network drive from phone so just seeing if had any input. I did notice when looking in my router lastnight that when i connected at my 72 that it actually does go faster in burst. my router has dd-wrt so shows connected devices and stats i saw it change connection speeds up to like 110 briefly. so it should be good.
[Atrix 4G General] mattaw2001:
It may interest you that in the UK the government agency that polices advertising made the Wifi people take the speeds off their ads*. IRL none of the G access points ever made 54 MBps nor the B 11mbs. It is always the same, people quoting perfect condition maximums which are never achievable.

* Try going to linksys dot co dot uk and have a look at their ads (can't post links yet)
[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
So the Atrix is 5Ghz capable? You said 802.11a.. It won't work at 802.11n in that frequency? It's so noisy in this area in the 2.4 range when I do a spectrum sweep there is no clean frequency. Im thinking of grabbing a 2.4 CPE with 36 dBm transmit power and place it on my kitchen counter. I'll blast every router in range out haha
[Atrix 4G General] gtr_golf:
Mine too. Both Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime and SE Xperia Ray are all max out at 72 Mbps.

I've got a question where i can't find the answer to when i use the search-option on this site.

I have a HTC Sensation XE, all recent updates done.

When i'm browsing the web and i push the home button i allways get "loading" on my screen. (For about 10seconds). How come the phone seems to be slow when i do that? Is it a problem with HTC Sense? Will it run faster on Go Launcher or is there an other solution for my problem? I like the apperiance of HTC Sense so would prefer to keep using it . If anyone has a solution i'll be happy to read it.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Best solution would be to flash a custom ROM or root it at least and change a line in your build prop to prevent from doing what you describe.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I think that happens when Android automatically kills HTC Sense as it needs more memory.

Using Golauncher might solve it. Or you could set the built in task killer to be more aggressive.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
I will have to look hoe i can do that.... And how do i know wich line to change to get the problem fixed..... Sorry bit i'm new to Android...
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Depends what ROM you are using, I think on Gingerbread you could use the Spare Parts app but not sure.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
To do so i must "root" the phone right ? Thanks for your reply.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
No, you don't need root for the spare parts app. There should be other apps on the Market that do similar things too if Spare Parts doesn't work.

It's just when something is loading in the browser or when you're playing a game (Angry birds in this case) and i push the "home" button, than i have to wait a few seconds until the home-screen is loaded. You can also see that the clock settings (24hrs) reload at that time. (clock is displayed first in AM-PM-mode)

Spare Parts didn't solve my problem. The white screen with HTC logo appears sometimes followed bij "loading" on the home screen.... Of anyone had an idea to solve this.... I'll be welcome to hear...
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
I removed antivirus app and now its seems solved :-)
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
There is actually a thread on this because I was able to explain to the person why your phone in fact does this..

A lot of the time you will unwittingly have a few browser windows open, each page you have open roughly uses about 10-40MB of RAM depending on the rendering, flash etc.

When you hit the 'Home' button, your phone doesn't actually close the web browser. It just puts it as a background application. The chances are that your phone doesn't actually have enough RAM to switch from the Browser to Sense and so it kills sense and reloads it.

Custom ROM's do not have this problem as they have RAM optimizations, however I'm sure if I opened 5 windows and opened YouTube in every window then hit the home button, that I'd have the same problem.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
For now it seems fine. Removing lookout anti-virus made everything faster :-) I tried to make it happen again but phone stayed smooth and fast. I hope it stays this way now.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
It just happend again. To much apps open and it happens. I will try moving apps to internal memory as it would help Android closing them to free RAM....
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
It doesn't matter where the apps are, it's just the stupid RAM.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
I'm afraid do.... Would replacing Sense with another app solve this problem ?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Possibly, some Launchers have an option to keep them in RAM so you won't face the 'loading' screen all the time.

I know LauncherPro has it, I think ADW EX and possibly GO Launcher do to. Not sure about Nova.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
I'm thinking about LauncherPro to replace Sense but I would like to know if there are downsides if I would. I also must figure out on how to go back to Sense in case I'm not satisfied with the other launcher.
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
The only downside I guess is the loss of HTC Widgets but you can find others as replacements. And to revert to the sense launcher just go to settings, apps under the launcher you chose select clear defaults and just press home.

Or a much simpler way would be just uninstalling the launcher.
