I appreciate the time you've spent, thanks. I'm trying this asap. I have to test before and after, tho. I'll let you know. I never even considered looking into this, and what I see looks very promising. Thanks for the work.

BEFORE

Test 1: ping- i forgot to look

download- 79

upload-109

Test 2: ping-772

download- 90

upload-79

Test 3: break in between 2&3, for fun. it was asleep for a while.

Test 1: ping 551

download 33

upload 122

test 2 soon after

ping 541

download 27

upload 104

test 3 with an asleep break in between for a while

ping 428

download 47

upload 105

test 4 right after

ping 429

download 39

upload 102

download 28

upload 116

Test 6, after a break with screen off/sleeping and a 30 second break with screen on before test

ping 430

download 26

upload 105

In conclusion, no it didn't make any benefit to me. In fact, there was a decrease in speed after applying the mods.

I used a nightly of cyanogenmod 6 from 2 days ago (right before rc3)

I will try donut soon. Eclair sucks. Note that cyanogenmod did not have the last two ro.ril lines, but it did have the telephony one. I added the necessary ones, of course.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
i updated my post above.
[G1 Android Development] hongkongpheoy74:
Hi Jcarrz, thanks for the post. I think something is wrong with your location/configuration if you are getting 100% upload speed over download. It should be the reverse, but even before my config change I was getting double your download speed. Also, a ping time of <100 ms into an edge network is a bit unheard of as far as I know, what speedtest are you using? Did you delete the existing lines? the two most important lines to add are the dtm=1 lines and the grprsclass=32.

One thing about this is that not every city may support class 32 download. Also it may take some time for GPRS to establish 5 timeslots to get the full download speed. Another thing to follow up on my post, as I mentioned 10 seconds or so at least before starting the speedtest, but I've found that even 1-2 minutes after coming from sleep I'm occasionally getting 215k down in some places. But in your case there's definately something else going on....
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
yea, that ping was pretty crazy. I live really close to los angeles, I don't think a crappy network is the problem. What do you mean by delete existing? i edited two that were there, and added two that weren't. I am using the ookla labs speedtest.net application. I have always had a higher upload than download. Everywhere. I waited for long periods of time between tests. And after waking up from sleep. The highest speed test I have seen is a 250, on htcclay's superfast 1.3.3. I'll have to take a look on the values in that rom.

Thanks for your help, prehaps you could upload the EXACT build.prop for, say, a cm6 build that I could use?

Jcarrz1
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.telephony.default_network = 0

I seem to get the best speeds i've seen with this config. Namely the hsxpa=2, because that one, when changed to 1 or 0, dents my speeds.
[G1 Android Development] hongkongpheoy74:
Thanks for reporting back. I think this shows that indeed the edge network in your location just isn't a class 32, or at least it is and is allocating more timelosts for upload than download. Here's how the classes should in theory work. Edge can alot 2-6 timeslots to transfer data. a class 10 or 12 is 5 slots data, 10 says that in theory up to 4 of those slots could be download and 2 could be upload, while 12 is up to 4 down 4 up (but only 5 max in any config). A class 32 can allocate 6 slots data, 32 also says that 5 could be download or 5 could be upload. Try setting the class at 30. This will give you a shot at 6 slots guarantee that no more than one timeslot can be set for upload (5 download 1 upload). If that doesn't work, in theory actually then moving to a class 10 setting may overall benefit you (4 download 2 upload).

hsxpa setting should technically do nothing for you on AT&T unless your phone supports HSPDA 850/1900, I set it on my magic 32B because it forces UTMS99 which is not implemented and therefore should in theory guarantee my radio never finds something to scan. I understand that turning on 2G only doesn't work in all roms, so I set that just in case.

Just so you know, the values in gprsclass can be 10,12,30,31,32,33,34.
[G1 Android Development] Hellek:
I don´t think that ro.ril.hsxpa=0 deactivates 3G. AFAIK it just limits the phone to plain normal 3G (=UMTS) and ensures that it does not attempt to switch to 3.5G (HSDPA/HSUPA) connections.

From what I see in wikipedia, UMTS99 is nothing else than the first release of UMTS, therefore definately being supported.

Better set it to =2, just in case you travel to a country where you have 3G (and 3.5G, etc.) connectivity.
[G1 Android Development] hongkongpheoy74:
EDIT: Sorry I just looked up the specs on the phones again and I never noticed UMTS support, still in essense you still want to keep this at hsxpa=0, unless you want 3G on roaming coverage as mentioned. This article is about ATT users and more geared to only ATT bands, ATT does not offer HSDPA over the bands this phone supports so disabling it should keep it from scanning roaming networks for it. I'm removing the other ril values from the phone to keep the phone happy with the fastest edge connection it can get.
[G1 Android Development] dawgpound6985:
So I just tried updating the settings on Superfly TCBY Froyo 1.2. It didn't have the same exact setting lines so I just added the lines manually. All tests done on a fresh reboot, SpeedTest the only app open:

Before

Time of day: 1:10 PM

Run 1

Server: Los Angeles, CA

Latency: 829 ms

Download: 10.3 kB/s

Upload: 9.3 kB/s

Run 2

Server: Los Angeles, CA

Latency: 121 ms

Download: 14.7 kB/s

Upload: 12.1 kB/s

After (2 reboots):

Time: 1:25 PM

Run 1

Server: Los Angeles, CA

Latency: 423 ms

Download: 19.9 kB/s

Upload: 13.7 kB/s

Run 2

Server: Los Angeles, CA

Latency: 394 ms

Download: 18.3 kB/s

Upload: 14.6 kB/s

So it did improve speeds a little. How much is due to the settings is unsure. It could be related to the time of day and traffic during the time of day. I will keep the settings and see how they hold up.

I have been using the normal settings without modifications for Google Nav and it works perfectly fine. I will see how these settings hold. I'll attach my build.prop. Just remove the ".txt"
[G1 Android Development] hongkongpheoy74:
dawgpound, can you report what city you are in. I do agree that time of day and tower can play into this, this is why my before and after tests were done about 2-3 miles apart from each other. They were also done during daytime hours.

To update on my end, I'm still testing in various areas of atlanta and I'm finding that I actually connect "G" in some areas. I'm assuming UMTS99 since the phone only supports this. The download speeds were terrible, worse than edge for me though. I know this implementation is older and probably not omptimized.

Using Speedtest I'm still not getting any worse than 40k download anywhere in metro atlanta. But, one thing I've found is that in some cases I would get a upload speed greater than download, running Speedtest again even immediately after would produce much higher downlad and upload speeds and maintain these. I think this goes back to my theory that when you initiate the data transfer that it takes a while for the phone to build all the timeslots to the carrier when you enable them in some situations.
[G1 Android Development] dawgpound6985:
Sorry for responding so late. I'm doing the tests in LA. I went to Universal Studios the other day with the modified settings and my phone failed badly when using data. I was getting full signal on my phone with the EDGE sign but it wasn't sending or receiving data most of the day.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to switch back and forth to see if it was just in the theme park or not. I've noticed in crowded areas, it lags pretty bad compared to the stock settings. I also was connecting to G speeds in some areas but only for a few seconds before switching back to EDGE. Right now, I'm back on stock settings to compare. I will say though, with the modified settings, download speeds increased by average 5 kB/s but upload speed was on avg 5 kB/s less than dl speeds. Stock settings, both download and upload speeds are close to each other.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schmev:
I have like 30 apps trying to download in market after installing the latest 0814 nightly of cyanogen mod. They are not downloading. Any way to cancel them all?

When I attempt to cancel them one at a time, it causes a force stop on the market place app. I've gone back to cyanogen rc2, but market remains in the same state. I have a titanium backup, but I can't download titanium now to get my apps recovered that way. Any help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schmev:
I ended up getting past it by downloading a new app. Which I couldn't do at first, as it was giving me sort of a bogus 'no space left' message. Downloading a new app caused all the queued up apps to begin downloading.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mobydeek:
Completely out of curiosity...

why is it that iPhone users with At&T can Jailbreak then Unlock their phones via software hacks, but I have to either call up T-Mobile for some code, or pay some dodgy guy over ebay??

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/how-to-tech/how-to-unlock-cell-phone3.htm

doesnt explain anything :S
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pbrauer:
Try this, more phones coming all the time.

Great way to root your android.../bit.ly/aa4jxJ
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mobydeek:
thanks but i was looking for Unlocking from Network providers, not rooting?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ibnabatoot:
from the limited knowledge i have on the subject and the things ive picked up while owning an iphone:

the iphone started out being locked to the networks indefinitely. at&t, to this day i believe, didnt/dont provide unlocking of the iphone. the way regular unlocks work, ie by code, is that the imei of the phone is used with an algorithm to provide the code. the people who have this algorithm are either the phone manufacturer and/or the network provider.

tmobile may be able to generate the code themselves, or go direct to the manufacturers for the code. the ebay sellers pay for your specific code, and then sell it onto you, basically middle men.

however with the iphone, neither at&t nor apple wanted to assist in unlocking, so without access to the algorithm generated codes, the only other option was software hacks.

problems with iphone software unlocks are that they can be wiped off with a restore; when a baseband update is released in a new firmware update, it can take a while for an update software unlock is released; you can get signal problems (blacksn0w, ios4.0.2 on unlocked 3g). nowadays, uk carriers at least, unlock phones eg o2, with t&c of course.

all in all, id rather pay the £6 to the "dodgy guy" on ebay, than have a software unlock.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mobydeek:
ah thanks for that!
[Captivate General] cypho:
Can someone tell me, or point me to a tutorial that explains how to:

1. Backup contacts to PC

2. Backup paid apps to PC(don't want to have to buy it twice...)

3. Backup app data/settings to PC.
[Captivate General] gr4v3r:
Using appbrain will sync your apps with your account on appbrain.com
[Captivate General] cincy1020:
So, there is no way to backup to your SD card, or PC? For windows mobile, I use Sprite, which works great. I was looking for something like that.

Thanks
[Captivate General] sn1per420:
Never used WinMo, but Titanium Backup might be what you're looking for. You need root to use it though.
[Captivate General] cypho:
I don't mind rooting if that is what it takes, but I can't belive that there is not an easy way to at least backup your contacts.
[Captivate General] UserNamer:
Backing up Contacts, several ways:

Samsung Kies -- follow the sticky at the top of this forum, it will back them up to your PC.

Export to SD Card, then copy to your PC -- Enter the Contacts app, hit Menu, More, Import/Export, Export to SD Card.

Copy them to your SIM -- Enter the Contacts app, hit Menu, More, SIM Management.

Sync them to AT&T's servers, which will do it in real-time when you add/delete them, similar to if you synced to your Gmail contacts .. the other benefit here is that you can log on to your AT&T account via the web to manage your phone contacts and it will sync your changes. Useful if you're mass-adding and want to use a full keyboard for speed. -- Enter the Contacts app, hit Menu, More, Settings, AT&T Address Book, click Auto Sync contact with online Address Book.

Backing up paid apps: I have not used it, myself, but Titanium Backup might do what you need, as the previous poster said. You can find it in the Market and read up on it.

Backing up app/data settings to a PC. I'm guessing this would be more app-specific than anything, no? I don't think Google imposes or enforces any standards on data/setting storage for apps, so any single backup tool would have to support individual apps one-by-one. Please update this thread if you find anything, because it would be pretty convenient .... :-)
[Captivate General] cypho:
Awesome. Sounds like backing up the contacts won't be a problem.

Will look into it. What would really be nice would be if google would do this for us. Seems like it would be pretty easy for google to remember which apps I have purchased, and not charge me next time I try to download it. Perhaps the marketplace already does this? I just don't want to buy an app and then remove it to find out....actually I will not pay for any apps until I can figure out how to back them up. I don't mind spending $5 on an app, but I do mind spending $5 for each app every time the phone gets reset...

Again, I don't know, this is my first android phone. But with Ubuntu Linux, pretty much all apps store their settings in a hidden folder in /home/{your-username}/ (i.e. firefox would store it's data in /home/{your-username}/.firefox/ ) All you have to do to backup all of your settings is to backup the /home/{your-username}/ folder. It is common for people to place /home/ on a different disk/partition, so that you can reinstall the OS and not loose any of your data/settings...

Android is also linux so I would think it would be similar...
[Captivate General] UserNamer:
I am not sure how most app developers currently handle this, but I think Google made it easier a few weeks ago with the announcement of their new "licensing service for android applications". Plug that into your favorite search site (minus the quotation marks) and a post from Eric Chu explaining it on the Android Developers Blog should be up top.

Home directories are great. =) I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time, so I'm not sure if you're saying that the system enforces it or if it's still just up to the individual developers to follow convention and store their settings in /home/ ... but I'm looking through my internal SD card and it seems like most of the apps I have installed (including the Google ones) each created their own data directory at the root level. :\
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
Titanium also backs up your contacts, paid apps, and free apps. The pros of rooting outway the cons. You can always un root if you need to send your phone in. I am also a newb and I've been wondering if I had to return my phone and get a new one will my paid apps carry over to a new device. I have the my license key for Titanium so I am thinking that I will be good in the event of such emergency. All of my paid apps are backed up there and I wiped my phone to factory settings the other night, I didn't un root, I was trouble shooting an issue caused by AT&. I did a reinstall of Titanium and it recognized my device because it installed donated version and I restored everything with ease.
[Captivate General] cypho:
I don't know, as I'm not a developer. But I would think that it would cause problems if a program tried to save data outside of /home/ The user would probably be prompted for their password every time the app tried to write a file...since sudo is required to gain write access to anything outside of home.

I'm looking to put full length movies on to my s743. I was wondering If I should stick with windows media player or not. Also I want to make the videos the smallest foot print I can. I use to have a program for my old Sony Ericson that I could get full videos in decent quality down to a gig. Just curious how you guys are going about doing this fast and easy. Glad to be a part of these forums and look forward to a response.
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
personally I'm using "avs video conventer" and convert videos to mp4 320x240...to my opinion it's the best...

In order to play the movies I use CorePlayer because media player lags when I try to move fast forward the movie...CorePlayer works really smooth!

Hey people.

I dont know if anyone has made a similar thread but I was wondering what is the fastest and most stable firmware for the Galaxy S? I am now using JM5. Is any of the Froyo ones better? Should I flash a Froyo one?

So long story short: what is the best firmware as far as performance and stability goes? Thanks in advance fir any answers :-)

I think the concensus is that jm5 is still the best fw.

Hello to all,

I bought a new HTC model A6288 G3 + Hero and I pressed the button "Return to factory settings" with both SIM and microSD removed. Window opens to restart Windows, then the indication is "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Phone." I clicked and pops with "align screen" after I used the stylus to align. Hence no longer happen. I can't go to the next step, though I left the phone open longer. To turn off my Pocket PC I must remove the battery.

In the Add / Remove Programs I have left only three programs, but to Explore My Windows Mobile-Based Device, Windows folder is there.

Please help me to solve the problem.Thank you very much.:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] djR3Z:
Swype Beta was the very first app that I made a video demo of. Ah, it brings back memories. It was also the demo that launched with The Droid Demos in June of 2010. However, there was another Android keyboard app that was released shortly thereafter. It was called SwiftKey. Unlike, Swype, SwiftKey doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel…I mean keyboard. Rather, it brings us an even better traditional keyboard. With a sleek look that slightly resembles the HTC Sense keyboard, SwiftKey prides itself in helping you type faster without changing any habits. How? SwiftKey not only has an amazing spell correction engine, but it actually predicts what you’re going to type. That’s right, a keyboard that predicts the future. Okay, so maybe not quite, but it gets close. By analyzing your typing habits and messages, SwiftKey learns how you type and uses this data to suggest what word to type next, allowing you to quickly tap to select or hit space to select its prediction. No hassle guaranteed.

I've got a video demo, as always :P of SwiftKey. Check it out. Download link provided.

SwiftKey Video Demo with Download Link
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bacdoliljo:
I have personally found the stock Htc sense keyboard to be better than Swiftkey because the error correction is way better. I type fast enough that it would slow me down considerably to pause to read and select the word it predicts for me. When I try to type fast as would with the Sense keyboard, I get many spelling errors because of mistypes. With the sense keyboard, most words are corrected properly. Try it. Try typing without worrying if you pursed exactly the correct key. I find portrait mode works fastest as you don't have to move your fingers much. I use two thumbs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jd9900:
Interesting.I like swype a lot but swiftkey sounds like it's worth a try thanks.

I've been on for the hunt for a good keyboard solution for about 3 years.swype is as close as I've come and as you can see I'm still ferrying..getting.. used to it. :/
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] persibro:
I'm actually using SwiftKey right now. I tried Swype for a couple of weeks but found that the words that often come up aren't the words that I meant to swype and I end up going back and adjusting the words. So far I've been very satisfied with SwiftKey but I'll try out the suggestion someone mentioned above about using the stock keyboard. One thing that I would like to see though is multitouch support added to SwiftKey.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] admorris:
In my personal opinion, swiftkey sucks...I am like the first response, it slows me down horribly having to select words. Prediction is no good either. The best keyboard I have found for pure speed has been Smart Keyboard Pro in the market. It's multitouch, the keys are spaced nicely and prediction is accurate and fast along with ability to customize as needed.

+1 For Smart Keyboard Pro, by far the best I have used. Personally I don't use any prediction, I just seem to make less mistakes with SKP and the mistakes I do make it will autocorrect most of them. I think it is the virtual key resizing that makes it work so well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52power:
I'm running the 7/27 froyo leak with launcher pro. This morning there were several updates on the marketplace, one being launcherpro. I let market place update all and the phone was fine. I rebooted the phone later and since then I am having a serious issue. 1 minute into the phone being on from the unlock screen the phone stops responding to input. The home, menu, back, search buttons will vibrate, then another minute later everything stops working and the screens goes dim.

I have already restored to a previous nandroid backup from 5 days ago that worked fine yet it STILL locks up!!!!

Should I install my original nandroid backup with 2.1 and stock htc sense? Is that compatible with the 2.0x radio update?
