[HTC Inspire 4G] edgie168:
what's your speedtest results like? i live in queens but work in the city but i'm pulling some crappy speeds, something like 2xxx kbs down and 2xx kbs up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmacrye:
My speedtests are average, I think they get dragged down by the servers since the server in Miami is faster than the ones in NY Metro. I get an average of 2mb down and .75 mb uploads.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
After screwing with this for a while, I have noticed much faster dl speeds, but my GPS does not work anymore? Anyone know the value in that build.prop file that contains the GPS on/off?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
I'm starting to notice the same thing too. I've got awesome upload/download speeds compared to what I had before but the GPS seems real finicky now (takes a few minutes to get an exact lock on where I am). I can't remember if I changed the value for the GPS in the build.prop but I've got it currently set at 12. Guess I've got more tweaking to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
My GPS icon never comes up when I go into maps, or when I try to find a server in the speedtest.net app. My gprs is still set to 12 also, and I have checked the location setting twice to make sure its enabled. So I guess its broke....?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
GPS is working for me now. Maybe it was just acting up earlier.

What rom are you using? Maybe try flashing a different one? I ended up having to switch back to the rooted stock rom from cm7 than back earlier today in order for the changes I made to the build.prop to actually work in cm7. I'm pretty new at this stuff still so I'm not quite sure of a definite fix for ya.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
I tried the values you mentioned for hsdpa/hsupa. I still get an average of about 1.2mb up but my download speeds are considerably worse. Have you tried these values yourself?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Ughhhh. I've tried every setting that folks have suggested with no luck. I get decent dl but my ul SUCKS OUT LOUD. I got consistent 1.3ul on my Aria w/CM7 but im luck to get .3up outta this Depressed(Inspire).

Any other ideas. FWIW, I'm rooted, S off... and runnin CM7. I haven't a clue what radio it's runnin though, if it even matters.

[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
GPRS=/= GPS. GPRS is cellular connection tech.

Odds are something else is afoot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I had this happen once, somehow through all the flashing I lost the ability to connect to HSUPA(upload) all together, no matter what ROM I had. Once I ran the RUU to stock, then redid the hack kit, all was well, even restoring a Nandroid from before the RUU. HSUPA was back!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll keep the factory restore option open but I REALLY don't wanna go through all that again. Ugh ...

If there's any other suggestions to try before the last resort of a factory restore/re-root, I'm "all ears".

Tx
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Hmmmm, I just tried the speedtest on my wifes Aria which I have gotten a good throughput on and it's capped now too. I wonder if ATT is trying to be cute.

Here's a screenie from the Aria when it got good speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
Every changed I made in CM7 never worked. It only worked for me when I switched back to the rooted stock rom and made all the changes there. After that I flashed CM7 back onto the phone and now the hsupa seems to be working. I'm averaging about 1.5ul in CM7 now. I did notice though speeds were faster with the stock for me. I'm not to sure if it's something with cm7 or if it was just a coincidence but it's what worked for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
OK, I gave a whirl but still no joy. ATT's sposta be sending a new sim since they believe it's the root cause. :rolleyes:

We'll see tomorrow.

Edit: after flashing a rooted hsupa enable stocker, testing with speedtest app with bad results then restoring my cm7 from nandroid, I have good throughput. :shrug:
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Nothing I tired worked until I ran the ruu. That was what resolved it for me. Flashing roms and radios did nothing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
I have the rotating ROM what should I edit the things to?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmacrye:
I assume its a standard rom with the same build.prop I would recommend:
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
I've been getting absolutely embarrassing speeds (barely 1mbps dl on average) on my inspire running cm7, compared to stock unrooted inspires and one rooted with a stock rom.

I flashed twopumpchumps stock optimized rom after a full wipe and I was at least getting 3 mbps dl and 1 mbps ul, which is no where near some of your speeds but better than I was getting.

So I did another full wipe and put cm7 back on. Downloads are barely at 1 mbps and uploads are even more atrocious.

I've tried editting the build prop about 50 times with different suggestions from this thread and those Wikipedia links over the last few days and nothing changes unless I'm on a stock rom.

I guess the answers inevitable, but I have to wonder, do I really have to go back completely stock and start from scratch to turn the radio and eng s off or is there another way without having to re root?

I love cm7 and I hate sense builds, but this is a real pain at the moment.

By the way, I'm testing this against another rooted inspire with a stock rom and also two that are completely stock so I know something's not quite right.

Any ideas are appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fixter:
Sadly it's definitely something in the CM7. And they need to fix that fast. I get 7 or 12 of download speeds and -0 of Upload.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
Ah well, at least I'm not the only one, so that's good to know!

I'll take aosp over sense, so I can deal. By the time cm7 is stable for the ace I'm sure this will no longer be an issue...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
Yep definitely is. I never got good data speeds in cm7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fixter:
CM7 reports to the market all the download apps that you have download over a specific period of time. Sadly for most of us that = 10000000 of apps. So you will be getting HORRIBLE speeds always plus horrible performance.

EDIT: After I full wipe, I just noticed about the restoring apps apps that comes with CM7. Just press Cancel and you should be good to go. :) Lots of luck! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I quoted myself to show what I did netted me via these screenies.

Try it out, it may work for you too. Here's the thread I got the stocker from.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fixter:
Yeah after the 89 apps installed on my phone (BY FORCE) the speeds came back little by little. :) Getting 2.5 download and 1 to 1.5 upload
[HTC Inspire 4G] zharptitza:
If CM7 is always slower than other ROMs we need to report an error to their database. I get crappy speeds most places, but I do with other phones as well, so I'm pretty sure that's just AT&T being AT&T.
[HTC Inspire 4G] arajay:
its not just cm7. at least not in my area... I'm in Atlanta and I've noticed horrible data speeds on all AT&T phones I've got my hands on in the past few weeks. All of them seem to be capped at 300K uploads. I've read it was just 4G android phones, but i saw the same results on my mother's Aria. FWIW my sister's iPhone 3GS is getting at most the same download speed and half of the upload i've experienced.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zharptitza:
Yeah, I loaded different roms and had the same problem. I have noticed the radio making a difference. The CM recommended one isn't nearly as good for me as the Desire HD Radio thread recommended one. The two new Gingerbread test ones aren't as good either. I was seeing a difference of up to 300k download speed, and that's at my work which has a horrible speed of 900k max down. Somehow I can get 1.5m up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dortok:
I'm having an issue on the upload test, where it starts out around 1.4mbps, but then its as if the data connection drops out, and then it starts back at 0 and finishes around 600 (still increasing before the test ends)

just wondering if theres anything I can do to prevent this loss of connection, it happens every time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dortok:
OK so a few posts ago I mentioned how my upload test would cut out... Well I just added two lines to the build.prop, and while it still cuts out, in the end I now get 2600 Mbps upload compared to 600-800.

Also my download increased from 3000 to 4400. (Download never cut out before or after for me)

I am on Rogers in Canada, so this could make a difference too, but anyway I added these two lines:

ro.ril.hep = 1

ro.ril.enable.a53 = 1
[HTC Inspire 4G] ookba:
FYI- Inspire 4G in LA, CA. I was getting 1.5-2M down. I just set to:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.catagory=28
ro.ril.hsupa.catagory=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=3

I am getting an everage of 4M down and 1.3M up. Not bad.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Boxerboy213:
Is it okay if added two of the entries that werent there. For example, my build.prop file had only the gprsclass entrie and the hsxpa entrie. I added the other two and it still seemed to increase my speed by atleast a megabyte. Do you think I shouldn't have done this? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah it's fine, if you hadn't it would have used the factory defaults. I did the same thing on mine, I was missing one of the lines. You're fine. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hongkongpheoy74:
I did a post in the magic forum when I had a magic to improve GSM when using a tmobile phone on ATT network (reverse of what you are trying to do but no doubt the same philosophy). My idea was to disable all WCDMA/HSDPA in the build prop but increase the classes, this way my phone never spent battery looking for 3G/H. it seemed to help lock data better for me in some areas, based in Atlanta, for some ATT users claimed that playing with the settings caused issues for them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Whoever you bought your drugs from, return them. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmacrye:
Was just thinking the same thing why would you leave T-Mobile, their networks is a LOT faster like oh my f-ing gosh that's fast.

[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Their coverage stinks in a lot of areas though, my place being one, and they're still 2G in a lot areas, again mine is one like that. We have 3G though from AT&T, Verizon and U.S. Cellular, but T-Mobile and Metro PCS are still 2G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
Mine seems more stable, but not faster. Getting 3250 down with 1250 up, before and after the changes. Not bad to be in alabama.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
My hsupa is set to 7 and im still only getting between .3-.5Mbps upload?

My download is between 3-4Mbps so that's good just not very good upload speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
Is your hsxpa set to 1,2,or3? If 1 then change it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
grpsclass=12

hsdpa=10

hsupa=7

hsxpa=3
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Try hsupa at 6
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Changing it to 6 brought me now to about .6Mbps-.9Mbps. Better than it was thats for sure. Prior to any changes I maxed at .3Mbps.

Edit: WOW just saw a 1.10Mbps upload! Thanks for the tip!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
K I have been going back and fourth for a couple weeks now and its been hard. I am convinced a lot of it is just the att network, wether there having problems or just updating. But so far this is the best setup so far for my phone in the Las Vegas area. Of course its all thanks to all of you wonderful people.

ro.ril.hep =1

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

Again, I tried hsxpa 3 and all the other changes and my speeds went to hell . With these settings I get pretty constant speeds.

LOL, yikes, thats a bit scary. I have never seen those lines.

If I tell you putting in "ro ril LTE=ON" will you add it and come back and say things are going 10x faster? hahah
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
I would if they really helped make things go faster lol. I have been doing this for a bit and have learned one thing, you learn a lot by trying. And help from the people in xda teach a lot to. I know they explained what those two lines do, I just can't remember and don't remember where it posted. They didn't really increase my speed as much as they made my speeds a little more stable and consistent.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Fixter:
There is one line missing in your setup. Where is the "enable.dtm=1"?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
That will lower your upload speed. 7 seems to be the money on that one. If I set mine lower than 7, I get .30-.70 upload. If I set it to 7 I seem to be capped at 1.5up. But any higher and it still doesnt matter. Still getting 1.5 up consistent.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I just changed hsdpa to 14 and hsupa to 7 and will try that combo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
hsdpa should be at 28. That also seems to be money for the DL speeds. Im seeing 3.0mbps down.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
changing again haha will report what I see.

I hate the peedtest app. It has been giving me FL servers and I'm in northern Cali. POS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
Speedtest defaults to your carrier IP for location, if it has trouble grabbing it. Which can be anywhere in the country. I am in Nor Cal and I show up in Kansas. Try turning on GPS when running Speedtest it will probably send you to LA or Palo Alto.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sjkoellner:
7 ad 28 worked well for me, pulling 4.5 down and about 2.9 up is south east wa state. On the flip side it also upped my wifi transfer rates too for some odd reason :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] rkn5555:
which section?

im having same thought. please elaborate... is this the section or not? in the top of the file i dont have a ro.ril.hsupa.category=6 listed at all
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I deleted mine, supposedly the OS grabs the first, so should ignore it, but might as well delete any redundancy. It works fine having deleted the redundant setting info.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I do have GPS enabled when running it. I even get the symbol in the notification bar but gives me Florida or Kansas. Every once in a while I get norcal as my location though lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] arajay:
I use prop editor to edit it on my phone. I've only seen one set of these lines.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
Set the location manually in the app settings. It's says change location.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Yeah that's what I typically do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Meercy:
ive played around with all the numbers here. I jus think the up & download rate here is crap at its finest, but then im not in the big cities thats got the great speeds.. But im very close. So im not gettin 1.0mbps of anything..

during change of my settings 1 time i was able to get.. (i think hspda 28 & hsupa 7

173 kbps down and 450 up...

204 kbps down and 111 up... Both of these in the jack, tenn area.. but i wasnt able to get those speeds again...for sum reason...

last change i did was.. ( i think this was the settings using hspda 10 & hsupa 6 )

196 kbps down and 71 up... Memphis, tenn

179 kbps down and 119 up... nashville, tn

im guessing things are jus diff. we also are expieriencing a lil rain here...

just changed the settings back to hspda 20 and hsupa 7

194 kbps download and 127 upload.. nashvile, tn

191 kbps download and 116 upload.. morristown, tn

174 kbps download and 113 upload.. McMinnville, tn

220 kbps download and 134 upload.. jackson, tn

173 kbps download and 134 upload.. memphis, tn

jackson & memphis are the closer areas to me..

just changed the settings to hspda 20 and hsupa 6

202 kbps download and 131 upload.. memphis, tn

210 kbps download and 86 upload.. jackson, tn

196 kbps download and 107 upload.. jackson, tn (i 2nd tested cause of low upload)

198 kbps download and 74 upload.. nashville, tn

194 kbps download and 116 upload.. nashville, tn (i 2nd tested cause of low upload)

158 kbps download and 189 upload.. McMinnville, tn

210 kbps download and 127 upload.. Morristown, tn

Truthfully I could take the 173 kbps down and 450 up...

But i will settle for 220 kbps download and 134 upload

Or this is closer to the last setting 210 kbps download and 127 upload..

Wat do yall think ?

P.S. played wit the settings again and just changed the settings to hspda 22 and hsupa 6

200 kbps download and 1089 upload.. nashville, tn

216 kbps download and 1534 upload.. nashville, tn (2nd scan)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mepis:
If you want to give me your zip code i can check your service area when I get to work, but it sounds like your stuck on edge with those speeds. Are you on Att?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Wow, you are the model of why people HATE AT&T.

You clearly work in a retail store - Strike 1.

What people hate is when they're getting edge speeds, and they know their phone is configured right, and AT&T brainwashes their employees to first respond by saying "let me check the coverage map" LOL

I hate AT&T because they do this. CLEARLY the guy is on edge... And why do you have to be at work to do this? Retail employees at AT&T have ZERO empowerment to do anything, and the system map feeds off the same data as the map on the website.

Ugh, this post just made me pissed at AT&T for hiring idiots.... pissed at AT&T for brainwashing their employees into giving BS responses AT work and AWAY from work... and pissed at AT&T for making this guy live with EDGE in 2011, when all the other carriers likely have 3G or 4G in his neighborhood, haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
Just curious, if you hate them that much why are you using them?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I have no contractual ties to AT&T. I use a service that uses their network, but I have no contract and no obligation to them in any way. When a new device comes out on Sprint or Verizon or in Asia or Europe, I get it and use it however works best at the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mepis:
Perhaps you should hold your tongue for someone trying to help.

Why do I need to be at work?

I have to be at work to access MTI Map tools to find hiw strong the signal is and where the towers are located. I go off a bit more then a one color coded map.

And how do you know he is clearly on Edge? That's a stupid assumption to make. I like a populated area with full HSDPA coverage, yet during certain times during the day, or if I stray to an area with more hills or a weaker signal but still HSDPA, I can only pull down ~500kb.

If he lives in an area that has full coverage and he knows he is not on edge per perhaps there are other issues at play.

So stop trying to start a flame war for someone taht is just try to help.

I do not work at a corporate store. I work as a subcontractor for AT&T, and frankly could care less about loyalty to service.

I also live in PA. So yes, a "coverage map" would help me assist him pass looking at his settings to see the entire picture. There are much more detailed maps then the one on the back of your brochure and what the sales guys use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
You work for a "contractor" not a subcontractor. Nobody works for "subcontractors" of wireless carriers, lol.

And the expression is "couldn't care less" FYI
[HTC Inspire 4G] mepis:
If you don't care then don't post your opinions. Flaming really isn't needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
If you are on edge then the phone SHOULD show an E not H or H+.

Could be many things from a backhaul issue, phone config, weak signal, or just the crap ass speedtest.net app.

There is no need to get rude or irate at someone just trying to help. Cheers. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
drop it or take it to PM. i'd prefer to use this thread for its intended purpose.

So far I've seen maybe 2 people say that changing the setting to 28 has made a difference. i would have thought that the default settings should yield us 4G speeds when 4G is live. personally i've left hsdpa at 10 and I can hit 4mbps on rare occasion. the speed test apps leave a lot of be desired so in order to have confidence in what a certain setting will yield, you really have to do at least a dozen different speed tests.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:

Shouldn't these values be set dependant on what class your phone is instead of random numbers? Just curious.

I'm still not entirely convinced this is what controls it fully...

One question, if this is making such a difference, why isn't these settings set right from the manufacturer? Why do they somewhat restrict them?

Simply because the manufacturer wants to allocate bandwidth for everyone to get fair amounts.
