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.

It's kilobits.. that score is under 2meg.
yea i did a retest using a different server. theres a newer screenshot up. 2megs!!
lol...if it was 7.2..... it would say 7.2 on that speed test lol
and the link you updated is not up
damnit image shack!!
ok try now. new link
7.2 isnt the transfer rate. its the network size. transfer rate will never be at 7megs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access
hmm... 7meg transfer rates?? im sooo out of date. maybe tmobile capped it???
ok just used mobilespeedtest.com and did the 3meg test and resulted with 4082kbps. im not liking this speedtest.net app.
use xtreme labs speedtest
and 7.2 transfer rates are possible but due to network traffic, it will probably be much less.
what did you get before?

the xtreme app will only work once then i have to reboot. but with it i do get 400-500kbps down. same as when 3g first rolled out. signal stregth at my house is not all that good. so to see 2megs down after my 3g signal dropped for about 30mins alerted me to what tmobile was up to.
I get 751Kbit/s down and 151Kbit/s up in downtown Seattle area.
Since T-Mobile US is headquartered about 20 minutes from here, I call BS on them upgrading the speed, as I'd think they would do it near HQ first.
Installed the latest cyanogen 5. 0. 7 ROM and my hsupa is now capped at 384 kbps. Anyone know what I can do?
Can anyone help me with this one?
Interesting. Same here.
Your best bet at an answer is to check out the Cyan mod ROM thread itself, and post your problems in there. General discussion is general, not specific. Also, this topic has been discussed and answered TONS of times in the past. build.prop is all I am going to say.
Yeah I read all about the build.Prop talk, but I'm a noob and have no idea yet how to edit that.
When I flash my stock ROM back my upload speeds immediately jump back us to 1. 5 Mbps.
Why would a hacked ROM disable this? Isn't the point of ROMs for performance enhancement?

I fixed mine using the instructions in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1748781
Set ro.ril.hsxpa=2
and
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
I used Root Explorer and did it on my N1. VERY easy - reboot when you're done
I'm getting 2300 and 1500 again. Woot!
too funny, i just fixed mine and ended up using that same ppcgeeks link i found from a google search. i guess i have to stop whining so much and just do things, cause now my upload speeds are back up to normal. i edited the build.prop and changed it from 1 to 2. i'm baffled why this wouldnt be set to 2 as default. even for users who are NOT in an hsupa area, there is no harm in having it set to hsupa. it will just back down to hsdpa for those users, so why even change it at all? baffling.
I'm getting download speeds anywhere from 57kbps to 126kbps on average...
I'm getting upload speeds anywhere from 578kbps to 814kbps...
Is this normal? Is there something wrong with the towers in my area? Because I get similar speeds on other android devices (including samsung moment, and other htc hero handsets).
What speeds are you getting on average? Please, let me know if you think there is a problem with the towers in my area... Or if I should call Sprint? Thanks

YES, I did search for this before i posted. Found no one with this issue:
Has anyone been having slower data speeds since upgrading? I was most likly the very first person to put this one my fone at 10am when it when live...that said, ever since then, using the Speedtest app, i have YET to get over 2mbs DOWNLINK speed.
In fact, both Up and Downlink speed have been completly SUB-megabit. If i ran it 50 times from the day It was released till now, there have been only 2 times where i have gotten 1+ megabits.
I dont live in a bad area(for the most part); just in Springfield MO. Proir to 2.2 my speeds ranged from 3 ish downlink and around 1megabit uplink....not terribly fast by any means but now, its a helluva lot more annoying...
Any opinions, help, advice, criticisms, or the like, from anyone??

Were you running stock before or were you running a custom ROM/kernel/modem? The modem is the most likely culprit. I personally am not running the KB1 update that AT&T pushed out but I have seen some posts here and there with people mentioning a drop in data speeds. Is HSPA running on your phone when you are testing?
Everything was stock proir to me updating, nothing at all custom. I was rooted and had the OneClickLagfix 2.0 installed (which i fully removed before updating). But that was it..
Yes HSPA was on. I used one of the codes(well, an app that has a whole list of the codes) ud use in the dialer to check. Both "HSUPA" and "HSDPA" had a "[1]" next to it, so i left the option to leave it "on", alone so i wouldnt mess up anything. My speeds have ben horrible; any update i have takes way too long, and im still getting sub-mega bit speeds even as we speak...i may email, or go to the store to see what could be up..
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

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.
