Does rooting affect....

Hi guys I'm new to this but so far I'm liking this new Rom i'm trying it kicks ass Alysious 2.1. I might try Pure in a few. My question to those who can assist me answering this question is, will rooting this phone have any affect with download/upload speed? I did a speedtest with speedtest app found in the market and I'm barely hitting a meg on my download and don't even let me get to the upload part lol. Is there a way updating the PRL (radio) this may somehow improve this? Has anyone one of you guys witness any speed difference with your phone (not hardware) but bandwidth wise? Any suggestions? please let me know. Thanks in advance.

PRL is not a radio, though you could try different CDMA radios and see if one helps.

Build.prop settings for HSPA+ cities-necessary with Froyo?

Tmo here in Orlando and HSPA+ switch is on, however, I can HSDPA speeds of 3-5mbps which is great! My HSUPA speeds seem capped around .58-.68mbps though, not the 1.2+mbps that others are seeing. Do you guys have settings or extra code lines set in /system/build.prop file?
I had:
HSXPA=1 or 2 doesn't make a difference
gprscategory=12 or 10 no difference
HSDPA=8 highest the N1 is capable of
HSUPA=4, 5 or 6 no diff, still .58-.68 upload speeds
Have any of you guys modified the build.prop file with HSPA+? Is it needed at all?

I've been getting 1.3Mbps upload consistently in NYC since January using both stock and modded Cyanogen ROMs, including FroYo when I was testing a few weeks ago.

Can you check your /system/build.prop file and see if there are any entries for ro.ril.hsupa=? ???

Yeah I'm 10 minutes outside of NYC and get nowhere near that speed.

my opinion, you can not "tap" into a network that isn't available in your area.
So trying to set your prop to any settings for a faster network, is time wasted.

Your opinion doesn't mean anything, because not only is it an obvious fact you can't use a network that isn't there, but he said that Orlando DOES have the HSPA+.

Thanks for correcting my mistake

The local network appears to be capped at .6Mbps for you, something you'll have to take up with your local engineers. They'll probably increase upload soon, if they will at all.

I've found you don't have to edit the build prop when using any stock ROM. Only when using cyanogen do I lose hsupa, then I have to fix my build prop.
For example, on stock 2.1 and 2.2 froyo, I get 1.5 mbps upload. As soon as I load any cyanogen ROM, my upload immediately gets capped at 384 kbps. I edit build prop to set hsxpa=2 and instantly my upload goes right up to 1.5 mbps again.
And this makes sense, because Google is selling a 7.2 mbps down / 2.0 mbps up phone, right? So they have the maximum hsupa setting by default. Setting it to anything less makes no sense because the phone will always connect to The fastest connection available in any given location. There's on reason to ever set hsxpa less than 2 in the build prop file, cause that just artificially lowers your connection. I've always wondered why cyanogen ROM had this set like that. Never made any sense.

The exact same thing is happening to me in Lancaster, CA. I get 150-200kbps down on edge and for the last few day on 3g I'm only getting 50kbps down... on top of my gps not working and noone knowing a fix I'm starting to wish I had bought an iPhone...

I suggest you try eViL D FroYo ROM. It comes with the build.prop tweak. With stock Froyo you need to add it on. Not sure if it makes a difference, I didn't notice any when I did it. But you got nothing to lose if you try.

I've been using the Evo (11.19) radio on my phone for a while, and while it only slightly improved my signal, my battery life has been significantly increased, and my phone feels all-around smoother (could be the placebo effect though.)
Flashed it with no issues, I think everyone should give it a shot at least.

Thanks for pointing this out, I was multi tasking as I was doing this and since they are all the same name I thought I had the right one. Mediafire doesn't seem to want to let me upload anymore stuff. If anyone else notices a bad link let me know and I will find another place to upload it. Sorry for the confusion folks.

As bilbobrian pointed out the Evo radio link was the wrong one (i believe) go to menu>settings>about phone and check your baseband, if it isn't ending in 11.19 it isn't the evo radio and you should download from the new link provided by RegnierD. Since I haven't the bandwidth right now to verify it make sure you do an md5 check on it (you should *always* do this anyway) but don't worry the 09.01 radio came from the Evo as well and the 11.19 (new evo radio) has been tested by plenty.

I was using 11.19 for a bit (i went from 07.28 to 11.19) while 11.19 was better than 07.28 I decided to try 09.01 and my dBm got quite a bit better and my data speeds almost doubled.

This link has a 7.28 without the recovery in it with a working md5. I flashed it last night. http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=71

The 2.15.00.09.01 link is wrong. It downloads the 11.19 radio. Md5 is the same also.

I reupped them all. Renamed the file name a little so i wouldn't get links messed up again. downloaded and checked the md5's. all is good. Sorry about that guys, mediafire wasn't fun to mess with so i switched over to dropbox to get 'em right.
Just trying to give ya guys a place to download some radios since adrenalynes are down.
Edit: Also keep checking those md5's guys. This is a great example of that. Had these guys not checked the md5's they woulda flashed the wrong radio.

I love dropbox. Integrates so well. Only small complaint is you can't link a folder just files.
I wish dev's would use it more. So much less obnoxious with the direct download link. 2GB is plenty for apps/radios/roms/etc. Easy to get bonus free space. Free for life.

No idea. Something to do with your area at the moment? While I had the 11.19 radio flashed my text messages kept sending to people garbled up, it has done it once since I switched back so I figure it wasn't the radio. You may need to post this in Q&A so hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can help you.

7.28 provides a much more stable signal reading than 11.19 does. I finally made it around the same drive I took when I watched the signal on the 11.19 with the 7.28 and the 7.28 stayed at -54 the whole time. The 11.19 stayed at -77. Big difference over the same stretch of I-40.

How long will this take? I figure since people are doing battery pulls rather then waiting this must take a while.

Ten minutes maybe. It isn't a complicated thing to do in itself you just need to do some verifying of file integrity and follow the steps. People battery pulling are just TO impatient IMO. Sometimes things can go wrong though.

Thanks, signal sucks in my area and my battery is constantly dying trying to keep a signal. .45Mbps download is about average on my Dinc.

any word on how well the 6.11 radio works in comparison to 7.28 and 11.19?

[MOD] Data Governor Mod for MIUI 12.24

Heya Folks,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=1 and applied them to the services.jar from the latest build of MIUI.
See the attached flashable .zip file. I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup due to this being my first attempt at doing this. It booted just fine on my device.
Let me know if it works!
posted by gmichael
I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.
It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.
For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.
Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.
I hope that clears things up.

Heya,
Only way to test would be to run a speedtest.net over your 3g connection before and after flashing. My 3G sucks here so I can't really test it. I followed it step by step going off of the instructions however.

Just curious if anyone tested this? I know the zip works just curious if anyone has played around with it. My 3g sucks where I live so I feel it isn't an accurate test here

I don't think you will notice a difference, I thought this mod pretty disabled throttling after you use 5GB of data in a month

Can't speak for the MIUI, but SR 3.5 showed significant improvements.

Guess it doesn't hurt to give it a shot.

So can this be flashed to any rom? I have a droid x and I am using the Liberty rom.

No, it is ROM specific.

I tried this patch on 1.1.7 N1 services.jar and got a FC in settings>system>Mobile Network settings. Does a similar thing happen on 12.24 Dinc?

No, this particular thread only worked for 12.24 for the incredible...

No, because there is no difference and flashing this on any rom does nothing but break your one settings menu as mentioned.
As has been previously stated this feature is not actively used by verizon, if it was used you would see a notification icon in regards to it when it is enabled as that is part of the code.
This feature was built by google as an option for carriers should a large majority of customers use android devices, but the bottom line is if vzw wants to throttle your data they do it at the account/network level. Not on your device. Any improvement people report from making this change is a complete placebo / fluke or just a fluctuation in their signal quality / network congestion at the time.

[Q] Best V6 SuperCharger settings for our HTC Hero?

I saw people mentioning the V6 supercharger script, and went and found and installed it. However I wasn't sure what setting to use (when it asks for a number between 1-17). Cloud I get some advice from others on that?
Here's the supercharger thread for those interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276

I'm pretty sure the choice you want is 6 at least that's what I did. Not sure where I saw that, but I think is was from the gingerbread man

6 is what I use with the kernel and 3g tweaks as well and it has made a huge difference. I know others are using that as well on the Hero. I like my performance with no compcahe and jit on. Every phone is different though. I'm doing the animations on fast in spare parts. I am finally using all animations too, not just the window.
Sent from my HERO JBGB

Yeah it definitely improved my phone's performance. I'm going to try disabling compcache and disabling jit (since it was on by default) and see what happens. Maybe further performance increases will ensue.

I have gotten good response from my phone with jit on. I will have to test more with jit off to compare. I did with compcache and found more lagginess on my device, but others have probably have no issue- same with jit as well. I also have asset purging disabled FWIW.
Good luck!

I'm not really sure that the 3g tweaks are working. I've tried all the options on the latest release, but nothing seems to change when I run a speedtest. I'm generally around 1k down/600 up. Any ideas on this? I don't know if I need to running run on boot as well or not. . .

Same here. I tried all, even the two "experimental" options and my speed test results are basically identical to what I had before applying any updates.

for the experimental it says "it may or may not make things snappier or do nothing at all" and as too the 3g tweak, did u reboot after installation? you can check your buildprop to see if settings were changed

Yup...did a reboot each time. Would it matter the order in which the other "tweaks" were implemented? I did the 3g, then the v6 supercharger, then the kernal tweak.
But, I'm seeing no benefit at all from the 3g.
Running gb hero deck 1.21 with. 29 kernal and firerat mod as well.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

I ran some tests on my 3g speeds and the results were pretty inconclusive. I guess I should have included a test with the 3g tweaks turned off too. Anyway, it was a pretty limited test, but it seems like there isn't much of a difference with any of the 5 settings. I'm not unhappy with the 3g speeds. I just was hoping to get more of a bump with the tweaks.
I ran 10 tests each, using speakeasy.net on my laptop, while tethering to my phone's 3g. I went that route b/c I've read that the speed test app is pretty buggy for GB ROMs. In my experience that is very true b/c my readings are all over the place with that thing.
Turns out the "Fastest" was indeed fastest. But, not by much. Here are my average readings over 10 iterations:
Fastest - 1304 kbps / 464 kbps
Faster - 1299 kbps / 464 kbps
Exp. 2 - 1259 kbps / 339 kbps
Exp. 1 - 1132 kbps / 438 kbps
Fast - 1147 kbps / 390 kbps
The fastest single DL test was on the Experimental 2 and was 2510 kbps (2.51 M)...however, the slowest DL test was also on Exp. 2 (530 kbps). So, that one was all over the place. I guess i just have to accept that the hero isn't gonna be getting 2-3M download speeds with regularity on Sprint's 3g. For now, i'm too stubborn to upgrade, but we'll see how that goes.
As far as the v6 tweaks, i never really had a complaint with this phone since getting rid of that laggy-as-hell stock ROM. CM7, GB deck, and aospCMod have all been really snappy for me...especially when in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I think i'm on the latest radio (2.42.02.10.29). However, i'm not on the latest PRL. I don't know how to change that w/o reverting back to sense. I'm at 60677, currently. Would that make a difference with 3g? I thought that only pertained to the voice signal and roaming...

Im trying to do this too i see there are different updates and versions. Also when i press enter where the heck is the enter button on our hero? Why is it for txt it has a go button and for other things its a back button. Im running standard GB keyboard. I dont know how to finish the V6 if i dont know where to enter.
