Telus supports 42Mbps download and 11Mbps upload. You should use ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 24 and ro.ril.hsupa.category = 7 for optimal speed. If you're not getting high speeds this may be related to the cell tower you're connecting to. It may be under high load or have a slower connection or your coverage may be weak.

I can't find HSPA info on Wind Mobile in Italy; I would just use ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 24 and ro.ril.hsupa.category = 6.

Also, for both of you, make sure you scroll down in the build.prop file to check that these ro.ril lines don't appear again further down in the file! On my own ROM I found them two or three times in that file at different locations. If you're just editing the values on the first lines that appear and further down your settings are being overwritten by different values that may explain why you're not seeing a difference in speeds. :o

Thanks, I am pretty sure I have tried these settings but will give them a longer go. Does it matter what radio I am using as I am using 0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L?

Thanks

Haven't noticed any speed improvement. I am beginning to think it is aTelus (carrier) thing.

Anyone with any ideas for this carrier would be appreciated.

Thanks.

[HTC One S] Guatiao:
Trying this in AOKP ICS Milestone 6, different editors won't allow me to save the changes in build.prop. I am trying to add the lines to the # data tweaks section, and I have not changed my phone's (SGH-T989) radio.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
[HTC One S] djbeck811:
I have tried all options listed here but none improves my speed. Is there anyone here from Canada thay has ANY success?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] thelub:
I tried this mod on my One S with the 8/27 nightly with no luck. I'm running an unchanged (0.16.31501s.16_2) radio. I've been tossing around the idea of upgrading the radio, but have heard very mixed reviews on this so I think I'm going to hold off.

I have gotten upwards of 10Mbps but I think that was Spokane, not where I currently reside most of the time....
[HTC One S] SoulDeLa:
so changing these settings didnt help too much. it did take my upload from roughly 2 down to 1 if im lucky. i tried both the 26/6 & 28/7 combo, and both seemed to have the same effect. not sure what to expect with changing the radios, just curious if anybody in NE ohio( or close) has had any luck with certain combos.:)
[HTC One S] Guatiao:
So, is there no way to make the build.prop edit stick?
[HTC One S] SoulDeLa:
are you saving after the edit? how about rebooting?
[HTC One S] Guatiao:
The problem I am having is that when I try to save the edited file, all the editors I have used don't allow me to save the changes. Upon reopening the file, I see that indeed the added lines are not in the build.prop file.

I am using AOKP Milestone 6 (ICS-based) and in my case I noted a drastic reduction in data speeds in 4G areas in Puerto Rico. Specifically, one cell that allowed me to go to 12-14 MBPS now yields 2-4 MBPS.

Any help or suggestion is welcome, thanks!!!!
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Invest in root explorer.
[HTC One S] Guatiao:
Thanks, but I am using the same file explorer as the OP (ES File Explorer), and can use ROM Toolbox Lite which has a built-in build.prop editor that works a bit different than a text-based editor.
[HTC One S] rjsvoon:
After the changes are made to build prop, back out of ES Explorer and you get the save option. I made tweaks last week and saw small improvement. (fastest downloads around 12mb) yesterday i approached 20 in some locations. On Energy Rom in Seattle.
[HTC One S] Guatiao:
Ok, thanks, I will try again with ES Explorer inserting the lines in the #datatweaks section of build.prop.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Ok, tried again with the ES editor and I get an error message. It says "error occurred while trying to save the file. It will not be saved."

No idea as to why this happens.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Do you have root file explorer enabled? I used to use ES FS and found it tricky to get it to mount /system as R/W...sometimes I had to click the root explorer button of and on...keep trying things...this is why I recommended Root File Explorer...it's much easier to tell you have remounted /system.
[HTC One S] Guatiao:
Root file explorer is enabled. Thanks for your tips, I'll check the app you mention.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

ES File Explorer fails to mount, that seems to be the issue. I tried with System Tuner and it allows to add the lines and supposedly save them but it does not.
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
If using ES Explorer, you know have to check the mount system under root settings.

[HTC One S] theratdude64:
I've done all this before but not since my G2... What do the different radios mean exactly? I tried the EU radio too, and I see Egypt in the build file. My service sucks royally with all radios, I'm quite sure I'm flashing them correctly, but no luck really with any of them.
[HTC One S] TechieGeek:
0 is off, 1 is on, we have no idea what 2 is or why T-Mobile decided to use it in their stock ROM. This is a great explanation of fast dormancy.

It's like ro.ril.hsxpa = 4, we have no idea what the 4 means (we know the 0, 1, and 2), but T-Mobile uses 4 in their stock ROM, and we know that stock ROMs get much faster data speeds than 3rd party ROMs, and this is the reason why I created this thread to try to point out some reasons why, and how we can fix the issue.

Still nothing

Got my pings to drop to the 100 range, but DL still around 3-4 Mbps and UP around 1Mbps

I'm running ViperOneS v1.2, and tried every radio that was posted up here, all with 24/6, 28/6, 28/7, and finally 42/8 settings.

I'm still getting the instant drop down from H -> 3G -> G before I get any data. I've never seen the H+ I'm hearing about. Used to get great 4G speeds around here on stock (15-17Mbps)

I'm on T-Mo, in NY (not city), testing at off peak hours...am I just missing something to get my phone to connect at H+ ?

I mean, really, I could have skipped a super simple step somewhere along the way between unlocking, flashing, installing custom ROM, and any mods that might have been out there to address this issue =/

EDIT: On the other hand, my connection is MUCH more stable and I'm not dropping data at all now (^_^)/

Glad it worked out! Sorry I didn't respond sooner - I wasn't keeping an eye on this tread. What is the full number for radio are you using? Also you can set Fast Dormancy to = 0 - Fido/Rogers doesn't seem to support fast dormancy, so disabling it should save you a bit of battery life too.

[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
It sounds like you might be in an area without 3G or 4G coverage. What does the little letter above your signal icon say when you are getting 120kbps? Could it be the phone you purchased is not compatible with the high speed network in your country? Here in the US, if you use a T-Mobile phone on ATT, you will only get similar speeds because the ATT 4G frequency is not supported.

Are you sure the file is successfully saving? Try using a build prop editor from the play store and make sure to save your changes.

Also try flashing a new radio. If your on a high hboot use the cm10 installer in the dev forum. It will work.

[HTC One S] mteezey:
That rom that the values aren't sticking on is due to it being one of the first jb sense Rome and a new security measure HTC added was disabled r/w capabilities to system partition. There's mods and/or kernels that you can use that will enable read/write to system.

I posted the information below in another group and was basically laughed at for asking for help.

I'm trying to figure out how to enable Global Roaming. I enabling roaming on my phone and my service plan gives free roaming as part of the package. However, I don't think it's working on my phone. I find that I'm in alot of areas where I won't have signal and my friend with his galaxy s2 with T-Mobile will have signal.

Now, that being said, I've heard of ways to hack the sim card to unlock global roaming or true roaming. I've even seen some hardware methods where people have made make shift circuit boards to do it.

Now, I don't have the knowledge to make my own circuit boards. Is there something else I can do or maybe something I can get on eBay that will do the trick?

thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
You seem to misunderstand what roaming means and is used for. In some countries it's not uncommon for carriers to allow their customers to use other carrier's networks for a fee. But in the US at least it pertains mostly (actually, almost exclusively) to international travel, when carriers have agreements in place to allow each other's customers to use their networks. The major US carriers like AT&T and T-mobile do not have such agreements in place. So while the hardware in the phone will potentially (sort of mostly) work on T-mobile's network, there's no agreement in place that allows AT&T customers using AT&T SIMs to use T-Mo's network.

And even if you could figure out a way to hack the SIM or whatever to allow it, the legality of such would be questionable since you're not paying the new carrier to use their network.

The device does support roaming, which is ennabled by default. If AT&T has agreements with other carriers, the phone will use those networks automatically when there is no AT&T signal, and AT&T will gleefully bill you roaming charges.
