How does weather affect speeds? We had some thunderstorms roll through last night, and today both my download and upload speeds are tanking.
[HTC Inspire 4G] maxjivi05:
Cog with the 112 setting rest easy left defaults.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
Try changing all the values, if you look at my post a few pages back I provided one that would allow for more data per packet (which I got from a tweak by a person earlier on in the thread) as well as network tweaks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
these values didnt change anything for me :\. i was also getting speeds of about 3, hten after i rebooted twice, it was horrid, but i thinkt hats the network cuz even after restoring my backup, im getting crap speeds like 1-1.5 again
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
You didn't change radios did you? Those values are what I use and I got 3.8Mbps down and 1.28Mbps up earlier tonight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
Well, after a full day of messing with this, my speeds are ALL over the place. One hour I'll get 200k down, 75k up, an hour later I'm at 4000/1600, an hour later it's 3200/200, just seemingly completely random. It *seems* to get better speeds when I go to mobile networks and actually select "select automatically". This way it reconnects me to Straight Talk's servers. Frustrating that my T-Mobile phone gets a consistent 6mb down 3mb up, but drops calls like it was it's job, or I'd stay with them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knuckleheadAj3:
I've been dealing with the same thing...

And it seemed the more I edited my build.prop, the worse my data speeds, my date lock was sporadic, and my signal went to the dumps.

So I decided to do a complete re-hack with the Ace Hack Kit, flash TPC's Rom, then flash MIUI 1.4.22, fixed the APN and left my build.prop alone. My signal stayed consistent, but I would still max out at 2.2Mb Down/200kb Up....

Then, I went to the heart of this little ass city that I say in, and I averaged 2.5Mb Down/1.0Mb Up, with a max of 4.3/1.5....

I'm chalking up my loses to AT&T on this one for my crappy data at the house....but at least I know my phone is capable of some decent speeds if I'm getting 3-4 bars of signal...
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
Have you guys tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040986

This is to make sure you have the correct "[RIL] Radio Interface Libraries".

They have attached the RIL for our radio as well. I use this every time I flash a ROM or update, just to make sure........
[HTC Inspire 4G] knuckleheadAj3:
Don't really mess with the RILs, especially seeing as how the opening paragraph states that those are for Sense based ROMS and not CM or MIUI...
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
+1,I wouldn't even touch those unless you're on sense and even then I'd be take caution
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Just did this. Flashed the proper RIL for my radio and actually went from HSDPA to UMTS.

Now...Forgive my ignorance, but if I'm not mistaken, UMTS is actually a slower network than HSDPA is... And speedtest confirms this. Went from 2.2Mbps download to 1.3Mbps.. Not a huge loss, but a loss none the less.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knuckleheadAj3:
Same thing happened to me. And once I started messing with RILs my data tanked forever. It wasn't until I re-hacked my phone that I saw my data come back to normal...

I was getting between 3 and 3.5 upload and close to 1.5 upload consistently with my IPHONE 4 which is 3GGGGGGG...this is so lame!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
After some rigorous testing, I think I finally found out how to get maximum speed out of custom ROMs. I will be posting it up after some verification on a couple other inspires and ROMs are done.

Suffice to say, 8mb down on RCMix.

My results with new radio
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Count me in as being very interested to hear what you've found. The best I've gotten is only 6.2 MB/s, and it took a combination of my APN fix, the new stock radio and the matching RIL file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Your original fix was a part of my inspiration, in fact. I think I just figured out how to tie it all together. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
It's very possible you don't live in a 4G area. We are happy if we get speeds faster than we used to get. In SoCal iPhones on ATT get around 2mbps. The Inspire 4G get 4-6Mbps if in 4G and 3-4mbps constant in 4G.

setting in st louis and have been getting the results in my signature most the time.

Running on 26.08.04.07_m3 radio

The big thing when testing the speed is finding a good server..if I used the st louis server it never gives me the full bandwidth but if I switched to spring field missouris server I get to us my full bandwidth. I found it by doing the tests using my home internet with wifi till I found one that showed me my home internet speeds consistently...

Could someone with an EVO post a copy of thei build.prop? I am trying to get a stock copy but can not find one anywhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
EVO is CDMA and WiMAX. How would that help HSPA, HSUPA, HSDPA, HSPA+ ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
It wouldn't, but since this thread is dicussing build.prop, I thought someone might know where I could find one.

Any Help would be appreciated.

I have a Desire HD with Vodafone Mobile Connect in Bangalore. When I connect to the Mobile Internet I do not receive any calls. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated. I tried the Build Prop changes which improved the Data Speed for the Internet Acess via Mobile Connect. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
Can you make calls off of 2G?
[HTC Inspire 4G] vickyclewis:
hi fowenati,

I'm not using 3G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
Possibly because 2G doesn't allow voice and data at the same time. Not sure though. I'd have to experiment myself to really find out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vickyclewis:
Could you please check and let me know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
I don't have an Inspire 4G anymore, (or DHD for that matter) nor do I use vodafone or even GSM right now, so I can't really, sorry. Maybe someone else in the forum can help out though
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The AT&T GPRS/EDGE (2G) network does not allow simultaneous data and voice. You need to be on 3G or HSPA for that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
yeah that’s what i thought
[HTC Inspire 4G] vickyclewis:
Thanks Henry. That was really helpful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] djallen1:
I can't help but notice the large number of people who are attempting build.prop changes among other things without the slightest idea of what bootloader they are running, whether their phone is rooted or even how to change a system file to R/W. The fine developers here at XDA have provided tutorials for ALL of these issues. All it takes is some reading and a little research on your own to successfully implement these changes. READ. LEARN. SUCCEED. I'm 53 years old and with the tools that are provided on this fine site I have installed the engineering boot loader to my MT4G, fully rooted including no subsidy lock, and a phone that exceeds my wildest expectations. I'm on a fixed income but will be donating generously to these wizards when I get a bit ahead. Do them a favor and read before opening mouth and inserting foot:) Rant over. Thanks guys, you've put a smile on this old man's face more than once!
[HTC Inspire 4G] djallen1:
BTW IsraelR, 14 for HSDPA and 7 for HSUPA did the trick for me here in Dallas, TX. 6Mb+ down, 1.5Mb+ up:) Thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
I thought category 10 was max of what our device spec says for hsdpa.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You are absolutely correct. The Inspire's rated max speed is 14.4 MB/s, and the maximum data rate of hsdpa category 10 is also 14.4 MB/s.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Ok guys this is what I got I change my build prop hsupa from 6 to 14 and my downloads started at 5.9-7.5 mbs from 1.5-2.5 I thought hsupa is for uploads I got no change in that area

Hey guys I'm currently using this phone with tmobile however I don't get 4g or 3g because is tmobile on a ATT phone. Now I want to use this phone as pay as you go with ATT but I was told that the data is going to be blocked because its a smart phone is there a way around that. Do you think build prop would do the trick?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Normal 3G will work fine but no 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] cal4877:
Ok so even if ATT says that if I put this phone as prepaid the data will be block I should get at least 3g speeds?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
What do you mean? This won't get you free unlimited data or bend your contract

Boom... Headshot! from my L96A1
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
You will get data. I can't confirm 3g/4g but you will get data just fine. I have used a T-Mobile blackberry, an att blackberry, and two different iPhones on pay as you go with absolutely no problems at all. I also had 3g on all except the T-Mobile blackberry. This was before 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I'm glad you and a couple other folks figured out data speeds on anything but a rooted stock. i use the .14 radio and it's ril, some edits and new lines in build.prop, and finishing the apn stuff for the att apn and setting up medianet. For some reason att likes to test stuff in little rock. I got 9mbps down on a rhodium with winmo consistently about a year ago. The next day it went back to around 3 mbps. Now when most people are asleep I get 7-10 mbps down and when they're awake it varies from 4 to 7 mbps down with cm7 nightlies. It is awesome. Thank you for your work. Crappier data than on a tilt 2 kept me off cm7 until you, israel, and henrybravo figured it out. I was taking finals and had zero time to mess with roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hdk703:
Wow, just wow. I should of tested this earlier

Changed my HDSPA from 10 to 14, saw at least a full megabit increase in average download speeds, going from almost hitting 2mbs to almost hitting 4 on the first attempt. Right now my HDSPA is at 14, I decided to leave the HSUPA at 6 because I was getting decent upload speeds, didn't want to risk it going down

What I'm wondering is, how these two effect each other. Would I benefit in my download speeds from increasing the HSUPA?

And for people running the latest version of MIUI, what have been some of the more optimized settings you've found in the build.prop?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Woud you mind posting your build prop?
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Our phone doesn't support anything beyond category 10, I'm skeptical of improvement by changing it to higher values. Secondly, 1 mb increase IMO is just fluctuation in speed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I was in the same mindset until recently. My data speeds went in the tank after experimenting with some different radios, and after flashing the stock ota radio/rom (got really good speeds on it), I restored my nandroid. My speeds seemed to be back, but once again stalled (1.4 or less download EVERY result, upload was unaffected). I reflashed the stock radio and still got those speeds. I had previously set my build prop up to the stock values that the device supports (gprs class 10, hsdpa class 10, hsupa class 6, hsxpa 2), but decided I had nothing to lose by changing the values. I changed them to the values in the OP and my speeds instantly bumped (from 1-1.4 mbps down to 2-4 mbps down, consistently). I think that's more of an increase than fluctuation would provide. I'm curious to experiment with Desire HD radios with edited build prop values, since they aren't made by AT&T.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Shouldn't gprs be 12, not 10?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
If you're referring to my post, I looked at the build prop of the stock, rooted ROM, and those were the values. GPRS class was 12 in another part of the build prop, but since it's read from top to bottom, I went with the 10 value. As I stated, I've since changed it though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kingkamil:
what software do u guys use to monitor the network speed? sorry for being stupid..
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Open signal, fcc app, speed test. All are free on the market
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyc0642:
So After installing CM7, I somehow lost the speed I had on stock, was only getting about 1Mbps up/.10Mbps down. So I did some investigating and eventually stumbled on this thread, which has been a huge help. After flashing 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M with RCData and AOSP RIL, correctly setting up both APNs, and editing build.prop, I'm now pulling down 4Mbps+, and getting 1.5Mbps+ uploads. Big ups to the OP!

Revolution GPS problems

I installed Revolution (last one 5.x) ROM and my GPS stopped working.

It is NOT (of course) H/W problem, and all the posts about ways to solve it may only cause damage to the hand set.

I installed RCMix3D KINGDOM ROM instead, and the GPS started functioning (and hasn't stopped since). I get 12 satellites INSIDE MY HOME !!!.

Step one must be flushing a different ROM first.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
The ROM shouldnt make too much of a difference, did you try doing a GPS fix on the other ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I've found GPS "fixes" to be counterproductive. I assume that you're suggesting the same?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Not me. Angel Death solution absolutely improves my device's other wise marginal GPS performance. E.g., getting locks indoors whereas not pre fix. Accuracy radius down to 3 meters also never happened before. Just saying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Hadn't tried that one. Guess I'll at least read up on it from the link in your signature.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
Both, it varies for everyone, some of the ones I've used work, some havent. They work around 70% for me. Used them on around 12 phones (Android is my living)

ES File Explorer

If you have the newset version of ES File explorer, the free one, you can modify build.prop just fine. Just do this:

As long as your rooted, which im assuming you are

Just hit Menu, Settings

Scroll down and youll see Root explorer and Mount File System. Select both boxes.

Return to the sdcard screen. Click the little SD card icon in the upper Left, scroll to system, build.prop. blah blah blah. '

I used es note editor and im getting 4 up and 1 down in a 3 bar signal area. Easy and Free
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
Do you get that performance consistently, or did you get it once?
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTCinspiration:
Hello all, this is just what I've found & have used for quite a while now & can say that this is the most benificial mod I've mad. These values work on my inspire & are SUPPOSE to work on all "4g" compatible phones. This brought my speeds from 2200ish to 5000+ in combination with the V6 supercharger scripts:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1(surf while u talk). ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6(I've seen 6 or 7)

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

(it is also recommended to reboot twice to for the settings to apply. Don't know the reason for this but it's said it needs to be done)

The "28" is suppose to enable AT&T's so called "4g" network. I'm not saying this WILL work for u but I haven't seen it fail yet so it's worth a try. Just make sure u have a backup before editing build prop, of course. I hope this helps someone else as much as it did me :')

P.S. I used these settinge for over a month on several different roms before sharing it without issue: Virtuous Unity, CM7 & MIUI

P.P.S. All AT&T devices will have these setting in build prop already so edit the existing values, don't add these to the build prop as well
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
Wow! I have tried a BUNCH of ROMs and radios and RILs and mods to this file, and none have made any significant change to the better... always getting around 1Mbps down and 2.5Mbps up.

I just did your mod and rebooted twice, and now I am consistently getting around 4Mbps down and still 2.5Mbps up.

Thank you thank you thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTCinspiration:
Awesome! So glad it helped ya out. Like I said, it's the most significant mod I've made for my downlad speeds. I have yet to see it NOT improve download speeds. So far, it's made a significant improvement for everyone that has tried it. And thanks for the "thanks". Enjoy!

[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
Well, it made a great improvement the day of my post, but since then I have upgraded my CM7 nightly ROM a couple times, and I am back to my previously crappy performance, around T1 speeds on download and 2.5mbps upload. I am using the stuff shown in my .sig.

Dunno why. I have not changed the radio or the RIL, and have double checked the build.conf settings and rebooted several times, but that great performance is a thing of the past.
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTCinspiration:
Hmmm, really? Haven't seen that yet & I ran it on CM7 for a cple weeks. That was just a tease then, huh? Got me really curious tho. Think I'm gonna flash the newest nightly & see what I get & try to figure out why cuz I haven't seen much fluctuations in speeds on any roms. The lowest I got was like 3700 with a sense rom where it used to be under 2000. Thanks for the heads up. I'll play with the nightly after work :')
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
I am on CM7 nightly #208 now, same (not fast) results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
the nightly will overwrite your build prop, you'll have to do this after each and every nightly.

Make sure you edited it, because there are occasions where it won't save. And make sure you're editing the BUILD.PROP not build.conf
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
Thanks, but having been a UNIX/Linux guy for about 20 years, I know my way around editing system files. And yes, I do it again after each ROM upgrade, and reboot it twice before testing. I know it got edited because:

1) There is a /system/build.prop.bak file resulting from the edit

2) the RILInfos program shows the changes after the reboots

Let the GPS locate you when you open the speedtest.net App (you will see the GPS Icon flashing at the top when you first open it), if it can't locate you it will give you servers based on your AT&T IP Address, far from your actual location, I'm about 150 miles northwest of you in Mendocino County (Redwood Valley, halfway between Ukiah and Willits) and it gives me servers from the Bay Area every time.
