This is pretty meaningless as it is posted. Did you use the same servers? Same location?

Speedtests over 3g are notoriously unreliable.
[Fascinate Android Development] yuhang:
hi I was wondering how I can remove the 3g zip file. I installed the file and it didn't work for me. I used clockwork orange so I wanted to remove it but I'm not sure how. Thank you for your help.
[Fascinate Android Development] dustinface:
It's been stated several times, but here goes: it's in the /system/etc directory. Just delete sysctl.conf and you're done.
[Fascinate Android Development] smilepak:
Same server each time. Ping approx 100ms each time (give or take 20ms)
[Fascinate Android Development] msnuser111:
I saw that the vibrant was mentioned before,would this work with the vibrant as is,or would there be different settings for a gsm phone?

<edit> it didnt break anything,but no improvement on 3g (at least not in toledo,I'll try it in cleveland next weekend,toledo's 3g is broken). Toledo's 3g on a good day gets 900kbps down,600kbps up,on a bad day it gets ~48kbps down and ~21kbps up. Cleveland on the other hand gets about 4400kbps down,2800kbps up,pretty consistently. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] churro7:
only for fascinate? doesnt work with epic? or another galaxy s phone
[Fascinate Android Development] locust43:
Ok at the risk of sounding like a total idiot. I managed to get the 3G zip file installed using CWM, I can see the file with Astro File manager, but I can't remove it for the life of me, please explain to a noob like me how to remove it. I have a Mac and a windows computer.
[Fascinate Android Development] itznfb:
Astro is not a su compatible file manager. Use root explorer or just delete it from a terminal editor.
[Fascinate Android Development] theformula:
This gave me the best results by far. At my place I have one bar sometimes two and have never seen over 600kbps down, generally it hovers around ~300kbps. Just ran a test with the original 3g fix zip posted earlier and got 541 dn 279 up.

Manually edited the sysctl.conf file with the settings above and ran a speed test, with 1 bar I got 1217 dn and 862 up. What a difference! Thank you for this!
[Fascinate Android Development] shorto85:
I'm getting great results with these settings.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Very nice work. Speedtest results were wildly inconsistant, of course. But...everything else I'm doing that's 3g related seems a lot faster.

So what if it's placebo effect? I'll take it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Lexus One:
This doesn't answer your question...but just FYI, 3G speeds on my Droid Incredible have improved using this conf file. My thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] zipxavier:
I tried this on an epic and and noticed a significant improvement with various speed tests. thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
I modified the zip posted earlier and created a CWM zip for the settings posted by Daswolven. Enjoy.
[Fascinate Android Development] jbrdr985:
I can just transfer this zip to my sdcard and install via clockwork? Is it OK if voodoo is enabled?
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
Yes. All it is doing is putting the file into /system/etc so that you don't have to do it via adb or use something like root explorer. Should not affect voodoo or anything else, besides your connection speeds.
[Fascinate Android Development] samnhean:
updated settings works

initial 3g fix by op cut my dl in half... updated settings (3g-fix.zip) consistently gave me 200k increase. thanks.

Imnuts, THANK YOU! OP thank you as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] tattooedchick:
How Do I activate this file

I had to extract the file using root explorer and then pasted the syscontl.conf file to system/etc. How do I know that the phone is actively using the file. Or did I not do it right. My phone would not open the file itself, I had to extract it.
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
I'm trying to get into clockworkmodrecovery to flash but you have no options in recovery what's going on. I had a nexus one, rooted and flashing cm nightly. Where do I get recovery?i flashed it from rom manager already
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
Also it doesn't say cwm anywhere in recovery and it's blue with two wipe options, data and cache I think and install from update.zip. I tried using the zip in rom manager from the install rom option but still checking for signature. Where is the disable signature check
[Fascinate Android Development] revolt1:
so i downloaded the zip through rom manager and did a clean wipe

how do i know if it actuall installed?

thanks in advance
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Thanks OP and Imnuts! 3G-Fix.zip seems to be working pretty well, it certainly isnt worse thats for sure! I notice a slight improvement to my reception in areas I am POSITIVE I recieved no reception and speeds are up too! Thanx!
[Fascinate Android Development] Anderdroid:
Is this fix limited to Fascinates on Verizon? Mine's running on Cricket and pulls about 1.2mbs on the 3g. Guess it won't hurt to try it. Guess I'll try it on vibrant as well which pulls about 6mbs
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
Go to /system/etc/ and look for the sysctl.conf file. If it's there, then it installed, if not, then it didn't install.
[Fascinate Android Development] revolt1:
I see it when I go into astro under download next to my google enhance zip
[Fascinate Android Development] Powell730:
Def improved upload dramatically, download speeds were also improved by about 200 - 300 kbps

Any improvement gets to stay installed on my phone :)
[Fascinate Android Development] toby1064:
Nicely Done

Works as advertised, 500 to 750 dl spd over 5 tests. 950 to 1700+ after zip application. Nice. Didn't expect or get a signal str increase of course. But definitely opened up the pipes.

Thanks a bunch.
[Fascinate Android Development] geeknik:
I forgot all about this thread. I'm going to put the modified settings that people are raving about in my StupidFast kernel as default settings and see how that works. =)
[Fascinate Android Development] shorto85:
I haven't noticed a large improvement on the upload side but the download side of things is looking much better.

[Fascinate Android Development] geocomp:
Unfortunately this fix did nothing for me. I guess I am lucky that I don't need this fix. My speeds were decreased by half after intalling the fix. My battery life also went down I think because the phone was spending so much time trying to downloading stuff. Speed went back up after I removed the fix.

Sorry my first post had to be somewhat negative but thought I would let others know.
[Fascinate Android Development] muixa:
These settings are tuning the TCP congestion control, window, and retransmit settings.

Getting those settings 'right' for all packet loss/congestion situations is tricky or impossible. Packet loss kills TCP performance (even at lowish rates).

Generally a vendor would be best to tune the stack conservatively, with the assumption that signal quality will be crap. This tends to avoid complaints from non-power users about connectivity.

Anyway, this will most assuredly be a 'YMMV' type thing.

Though, making the window larger with SACK enabled should be a win...
[Fascinate Android Development] yuhang:
hello, I installed the 3g fix from an earlier post here and I wish to remove it. I believe this is a great idea by the OP and big kudos for helping others but unfortunatley, it did not work for me. I was wondering, how does one go and remove this? Thank you in advance.
[Fascinate Android Development] iceman1183:
you *should* just be able to delete the sysctl.conf file from /system/etc on your phone and reboot....things should be back to normal after that i believe.
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
If you can't delete the file, make sure that /system is mounted as read-write. You could also use the attached zip to delete it via cwm. As a note, I haven't tested the zip file.
[Fascinate Android Development] big_c:
Lmfao I'm a year late never mind
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
Is this still relevant at all to fascinates?
[Fascinate Android Development] newbie4ever:
I don't know if this is still relevant but I applied this to my c m 7 and it seems to help ... I didn't do any technical testing but it feels faster..
[Fascinate Android Development] genaro12543:
Lmfao I thought this thread was recent I got all excited I was highly considering flashing that zip on my girls phone but I unno anymore

I thought adrynaline was back in our forums from reading the earlier posts in the thread :p
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
I tried it didn't notice much difference in speed tests but my tethering was significantly slower.
[Fascinate Android Development] newbie4ever:
I know I just came across it too but I put it on my phone anyway and it does seem to help
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
Somebody should run some speed tests, before and after. run at least three tests and stay in the same spot the whole time to get a good reading on it.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
In the same spot 3 tests with and without. When running the added code its pulling roughly 50 to 80 kb more but so many variables hard to say exactly

Doesn't work for Cm7 because of the Cmw version not matching the file.

A co-worker got a razr this weekend so we did speedtests phones side by side with eh03 modem and these codes I was pulling roughly 500kbs. He was getting closer to 2.5mbs and there is no 4g in our area. Totally jealous our fascinate modems stink!

[General Questions and Answers] viny2cool:
I got new Captivate two weeks ago and I didnt had any knowledge of Android before that. So as every noob does, I also got worried about my aweful battery and installed task killers. But I noticed that my phone started to lag. So after reading many articles and comments, I came to conclusion that I don't really need Task killer and Android is designed to stop all unwanted Apps itself (correct me if I am wrong here please)

So I thought to test something. I opened camera and then clicked back (not home key but back). The running apps in settings showed its not running, but in System Panel (as suggested by the author of one of the article) it shows Camera is still open but inactive.

So my question is, do these inactive but open apps consume bettery or affect performance?

My question may sound stupid, but I am really concerned about my battery not lasting more than 10 hrs.
[General Questions and Answers] hilerc:
If they use a lot of data and have constant updates then yes, they will consume a significant amount of battery. A moderatly simple app that is open but doesnt require data nor act frequently wont use a lot of battery at all. I still use a task killer, as android doesnt automatically "kill" on its own. You can avoid a lot of trouble by just turning off your mobile network when youre not using it; thats a great battery saver in general... good luck
[General Questions and Answers] viny2cool:
Thanks for replying...:)

I have tweek to trun off my 3g and its never on. But at work I use Wifi to listen to online radio on my phone. So do I have to kill apps like TweetDeck, Facebook and Gmail, with Task killer? Even though I have disabled auto sync for these accounts.

Your clock posted in post #5

Could you post your softkey buttons?

I have the blue ones from the rom.

Just another question, i have the small clock with the weather on the right, the bottom bar that shows max and low temps its to small, and max temp of the day stays out of the bar, is it possible to use or make a big bar in this mod?

Thanks

For softkeys

go Startmenu/settings/today and select theme energy 2008

For the weather bar i think its a bug on the sencity theme.... select another weather/clock view...

If they dont fix it in the next version i will try to fix it
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MJRL:
Yes, if select another clock its ok like yours.

I've already tried the themes 2007 and 2010, tried now 2008 soft reset but looks like 2007, the buttons don't look like yours.

Hi m8...

I saw the tsk and its the on that i use.... so here it is the tsk that i made for you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] BRSG:
This is weird... With your first set of icons, for example, the icon from PIM Backup was changed after copying the files to \Windows folder, and now, with the full set of icons it remains with the original icon that NRG placed in is ROM :confused:

EDIT: Found the problem for this... Some of the icons aren't replaced in \Windows folder, and both remain theme, the original and the one from your iconset, but the name of one of them is in CAPS, like this: startpim.png (the original) and STARPIM.PNG (the one from your iconset)... Any solution for this? I copied the files with Total Commander! Copying them with Resco File Explorer gives this error (with one of the unchanged icons): "Cannot copy file 'startie.png'. System cannot write to specified device."

colossus_r, can I make a request? Can you fix the multimedia, office and main settings folder icons, so that they become more similar to the rest of the folders?

For example, in the internet folder icon you used a different template and placed a small folder in the bottom right corner. The three folder icons I mentioned above don't have that.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] colossus_r:
ha ha .. i all ways forget something ...this was the one...

I will fix the folder problem m8... and i will post the new icons here...

For the copy of the files i allways use the Resco Explorer and never had any problem like this...

if the problem is still there after softreset let know and i make a mortscript for you to auto copy the files.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] BRSG:
I've edited my post above... Tried with Resco Explorer, but no luck, even with several soft-resets in between :(

Gone flash the ROM again, maybe something went wrong (I did make a HR after flash, but who knows...)

EDIT: After a preliminary investigation LOOOOL, the guilty files are: STARTRDP.PNG, STARTRS.PNG, STARTWCM.PNG... These files do not replace the original icons, and after being copied to the \windows folder can not be deleted, although the original file is also present and not replaced as it should be...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] colossus_r:
Check those files to see if the are read-only and if they are change the option and then copy...

Here are the 3 folder files that you ask me ... check them so i update the #1 post
[EVO 4G General] wsu99999:
This is probably the wrong forum to ask this on, but does anyone have an idea of what a full package line-up from the Sprint TV service includes? I have the free tv that comes w/ the phone, and it's pretty cool and I think I would use it more if the programming was better - any ideas on where I could get a schedule for the channels they carry? I'm not talking about the free ones, but all of the pay channels they have - it's very vague on the website.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
You can see everything available from your phone. Not worth the money you have to pay, IMO. Get yourself a used Slingbox on eBay, and watch the TV you already pay for at home on your TV. I've had mine for months and it is BAD ASS!
[EVO 4G General] wsu99999:
So your slingbox sends it to the phone huh. Good call man! I didn't even think of that! Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Yup.....through the existing internet connection you have at home, the Slingbox can control your tv, cable box, satellite box, etc. Depending on which model of Slingbox you get, you can control multiple devices and it can control your DVR and even a DVD player. It's better than way than to pay Sprint a monthly fee for no where near as many channels. Not to mention, you can view the Slingbox on 3G, 4G or WiFi and SprintTV only lets you use your 3G signal.
