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.

[Q] Rogers Captivate i896 Upload Speeds and unlocking

Hi all,
I have a new i896 with Rogers and have no intention of using it on the Rogers network therefore really need to unlock it. SGS unlocker did not work for me and all the other ways listed do not seem to work for me... I tried to purchase a code from cellunlockingcodes.com. They said the code was available but then refunded me as they were unable to provide me with a code.
My second concern is the upload speed seems to be capped at 200 kbps even in Wifi. I guess this is a software limitation? I`ve seen some posts regarding this with the ATT Captivate and a sw update should fix it. But I do not want to stay stuck with a device that is capped at 200 kbps upload.
Anyone has any idea why my speed is limited at 200 kbps and also is there a specific post regarding the unlocking of the i896 unlocking??
Thanks. Emmanuel.

200Kb upload it more then you realize. It's a phone, not a computer. Do not expect high upload speeds especially since we don't have HSUPA.
Secondly, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831569
That should work for your unlock. Read the OP carefully and follow the directions as written. And yes I know it says Froyo in the thread title. The only thing that is different is that when it tells you to do anything with copying to the sdcard, you need to type /sdcard instead of /mnt/sdcard as the latter is for Froyo only.

200 kbps is nothing my friend.
Explain to me why over the same Wifi connection using the same speed test.net app and testing at the exact same time in the exact same location I get such different results:
Xperia X10 = 1700 kbps
Captivate = 200 kbps
Tested 20 times I could not believe it!! When the upload test starts for half a second it goes up to close to 1000 kbps and then drops to 200.
I dont`t understand what HSUPA comes and changes if I`m using Wifi??? I have not even tested it over 3G as device is still locked to Rogers and I`m a Telus user.
If I dont find a solution ASAP this piece of crap is going back to ROGERS!!!

200 kbps is pathetic, and not acceptable.
I'm not well versed in the i896 and what the differences are, but something is wrong.
Here's what is possible:

I tested mine when I woke up. 3.4 megabits upload on wifi. Maybe you just got a ****ty unit. Exchange it for another?
Either way, I still don't feel like 200kb is slow by any means. Low, maybe, but not slow.

I haven't had the same behaviour on my i896.
Wireless upload maxes out at whatever the underlying connection supports. Half a meg at home, up to 2 megs elsewhere.
And you're right, HSUPA won't have any bearing on wireless upload speeds. FWIW, I haven't even had anything below 350kbps upload out in the wild on 3G, which isn't terrible since HSUPA isn't in the house.
Assuming you're not running the X10 and Captivate literally simultaneously on a router on top of a 2 meg upload connection, I'd say you got a bum phone.

I rooted my Rogers Captivate, then followed the unlock steps posted above, and can confirm that they do work. The only problem I had was the absence of "cp" utility. Not sure whether it's because it is missing in Rogers firmware or because I haven't installed BusyBox yet. I had to use "cat" with ">" redirection to copy files around. Unfortunately, that method is not for the faint of heart, the only reason I attempted it is because I admin a Linux farm at work.

A poster in another i896 thread commented that cellunlocker.net have updated their unlock codes to include the Rogers i896 captivate.
Haven't tried it yet, but it is another unlocking possibility.

EDIT: Hmmm seems another poster indicated that the cellunlocker code didn't work.

Some posters complain that this results in editing your IMEI number. Not sure what's going on just yet

I used the method from the link above. It worked for me just fine. I didn't have to edit my IMEI, just enter the unlock and unfreeze codes of my choice into the online patching utility. The method is a bit scary though. If you can pay 10-20 bucks to get a proper code online, do it, though it sounds like it's not possible as of yet.

[THREAD CLOSED] SpeedTests, Benchmarks (AnTuTu, OpenGL..)

Not much going on in GT-i9305 section so let see what this phone can really do...
All kinds of Speed Tests, Benchmarks and Battery Stats are welcome
Network: 3G or 4G???
Just wondering how it goes on DC-HSPA+??? Here in UK, Three is fastest so far... I'm getting speeds 15-25Mbps DL / up to 4.5Mbps UL in many places!! Who need expensive LTE with crazy data capping (500MB - £36/pm) and speeds 10-20Mbps... Joke...
To check what kind of 3G connection you have while testing:
1: dial *#0011# (phone will go in to Service Mode)
2: press home button
3: open and run SpeedTest
4: press&hold home button and switch back to Service Mode...
5: on the bottom of screen look for "DC_HSPA+ : 1(enabled) 0(disabled)"
Battery:
Many people reported bad battery life but I'm very happy with it so I'll share some of my tricks how to get more juice....
My current set up: Pandoriam ROM v6.6, latest Perseus Kernel: no UV, no OC, no tweaks, Modem: BUALI6, Network: 3UK (DC-HSPA)
1. Custom ROM & kernel is recommended but NOT essential (most of them includes battery tweaks also they bloat free)
2. Install BBS and check what's drinking your juice... Some of apps are heavy drinkers (Facebook, Twitter etc....) so keep eye on battery after you install new app(s). Don't use Juice Defender, it makes things worse.
3. Disable Google Now & Locations (main juice drinker)
4. Install "Fast Dormancy Toggle" from Play Store and disable it. It safe to use. If you don't use 4g, change Network Mode to WCDMA only. BTW bad signal reception draining more juice as well.
5. Keep screen brightness on manual, as low as possible... obviously
6. Use inverted apps and dark wallpaper if possible, stay away from live wallpapers...
7. Only If you know what you doing, install app called" NoBloat Free" or any other similar app and disable/freeze unimportant processes draining your battery. (Exchange and Samsung Push Services are heavy drinkers)
8. AutoSync & NFC - OFF!!
9. Use Original Samsung 1A charger, don't use your laptop to charge phone....
10. Keep WiFi ON only if you need it. To make things easy, in Advanced WiFi settings, we have WiFi Timer. (can be used to keep it ON/OFF automatically, through the night for example)

Yea 4G in London is terrible, I know. I popped in to the EE store the other day to test out the speed. THEY DIDNT HAVE the speedtest.net app. I was like so how are we to test what 4G speeds we are getting? The assistant replied with a really condescending tone "I'm pretty sure such geeky app wont be needed for the average consumer". I replied, "So why do broadband suppliers advertise "Xmb broadband"? SO obviously people would want to know how fast their internet would be." fruking donut.

My mate was driving Through Auburn Sydney, And he got 75Mbps Down... I am based in Sydneys southwest On the edge of 4G & 3G+ coverage I average around 15mbps So
All I can Say is Telstra 4G kills it ay! haha Cant wait till they upgrade the coverage soon we may have all areas with this crazy speed

I've checked and look at screenshots. One is while downloading (Speed Test running in background) the second just connected (steady CPCH). On the bottom we have active connections... you can see 0 or 1 next to type of connection.

I am on Telstra Australia.. Well that makes sense As my phone was idle And i was staring at the screen. So I guess If i did a speedtest those mode will change.
But still It doesnt rectify the fact that while someone is doing a speedtest we do not know exactly what connection we are on as Carriers who offer DC also have Normal Hspa+ aswell and if in the wrong area it may switch modes while doing the test without even knowing
As that DC_HSPA will change to normal HSPA if you are not in the correct area, when I had that screen on i did not see DC_HSPA I only saw HSPA+
Edit : You see mine was changing from DC_HSPA to HSPA from one moment to another like I said you would have to be in a STRONG DC area to really test DC speeds

uneducated root-user" with no offence to any lol, even before i built my rom, and some apps, ive done more then the tweaks for stability that these aps do since i was brought up with linux, mid-early-to-newer windows(95-7), and have been observing codes since i was 7 (and im currently 18 as of now), so if u look at different Tutorials for linux-distros, and compare to Android alot are basicly the same as android is based of linux, just some terminal commands are different, and we use superuser/Super SU, to do root-commands like linux's sudo, but not all codes can give 100% positives for all things, or even 100% false (unless it was just a scam paid app that gives random official apps like facebook, gmail, google play store once, a false positive; most newer "official security apps", arent really coded to do as they say they do, some look at their permissions and if say "android.permissions.ACCESS_SUPERUSER" is one, it counts it as generic malware, because it reads its a root-capable app, even if its just a blank package with only permissions, no images, no operation codes "src/", just a blank package with no XML's but Androidmaniefest.xml for permisssions+package name/versions lol i always hated when people use the common day paranoia of viruses now a days, but linux-based devices are least likely to get viruses, as androids newer versions have bug-fixes, securities, and detections, +most of the apps that ARE malware need root, that the common user doesnt know what it is lol, i bet u if u have with people who ARE NOT developers, and just use it for games+phone/texting if u ask them if their phones rooted, ask what their operating software for their computer is, or even what android:IOS(apple) version are u on, the most common answers ive been given here in Parkersburg, are(in question order):
-whats rooted?
-umm, idk what that is, i was told it was a windows 8 computeror has a windows 8 sticker)?... idk
-?...?....what?...
so most average-day people arent educated on the true purpose androids can give u when a Root-User(SU) since its almost FULL Linux!, like pin-testing software or networks, computer network analysis, Syncing files, Virtual Distribution Testing, OTA USB Triggers to reprogram Computers OS On-Computer-Boot, Reverse tracking Locations/Numbers, Re-Routing where people can Ping you on windows/linux/Mas OS to ANY location path (fun when i have people do it and it makes it look like in in the United States FSA Headquarters, Google Headquarters, then to the NASA Building), Nintendo Zone Hotspot for free special Gold-Bottomed mii's if u cant goto a official Zone, MAC-Address spoofing on-boot, FULL VPN-Capabilities not just location+site unblocking, DNS Location Changing(so any website sees u dont exist/different Global location/Full Network Privlages, even adding more things then BusyBox could ever do! and more then 99% of people dont know that the $100+
USD Device they have in their hands can do more things then an average Super Computer of the mid-to-late 2000s sometimes even better then super computers today even, just not as fast as the super computers ive messed with had 12*16GB Ram-sticks and a 200GB Swap backup XD
u think high-speed internets fast sometimes, u try downloading 5TB(1024GB*5) of files in under 2 mins with DSL connections XDD, so basicly what im trying to say is that not all apps are what they say to be, some work, some dont, some are just scams for a quick buck to do something that will just make it worse, or somethign u have to test longer then the Google Play's 15Min refund period that if its past that, they dont have to give refunds lol

Next day after I installed the ROM and was very pleased and even excited by the great job done by developers,my antivirus caught Trjan.AndroidOS.Generic.A Malware! Surprise! Surpeise!
And was more than strange is that it wasn't possible to uninstall it! One more Surprise!
So if this stuff will destroy my Note 2 who will take responsibility? Who will open the wallet for getting a new device for me? Of course it will not be you,cyber geniuses!!
Thanks for bringing some fun to my life since it is so boring!..........

btw... why are u flashing roms on a Note2 if this specific forum is for the Samsung Fascinate SCH-I500 (fascinatemtd code_name)? if u flash roms in this forum no1 is paying u for a bricked device u didnt read the disclaimer from the rom-developer is its for a FASCINATE, but we are a friendly forum where critisism is to be done lightly, and family-friendly, Root-Apps always have the default disclaimer whether posted or not of
"USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!, Not all tweaks/mods/features are meant for EVERY DEVICE, there is over thousands of device models and cannot be tested on all, MAKE BACKUPS, AS I AM NOT RESPONCABLE IF U BRICK YOUR DEVICE FOR NOT FOLLOWING THIS DISCLAIMER!"
as rooting your device/Flashign a rooted rom is a "USER ACTION", meaning u made the choice to do it, so nobody else is responcible for the damages cause when u voided your warrenty due to user modifications if u arent using a "DEVELOPER_EDITION", like i use, all-in-all user modifications whether its Hardware, Software, Add-Ons, or even accidentials, its still done by user actions, and nobody else is responcible for refurbishing, remanufacturing, or repairs if done by the owner of the device itself, with or without approval of others
*Edit#1*if u really want me to prove it to you, u can post the APK file u installed, as i can run whats called a Signature_test, and compare the sizes, MD5-Hash, and everything u might need to see if its the official Pimp-My-Rom App, and not a Uuser-Modded version of the open-sourced app as it is

[Q] Nexus 6 T-mobile

Hi,
I have a t-mobile nexus 6. I sideloaded LMY47D and have one issue where the network drops especially when switching between towers (while driving) needs a restart to fix this issue.
I see google released other versions LMY47E and LMY47I. Which of these is the correct version for t-mobile N6?
Also if need to E or I how can i go from D to E or I... Please help..
Thank you in advance

the tmo version is M btw. there's no M factory image btw. but any factory img will work, and either of the two new radios work. the M version comes with radio 95r.

Two questions have you checked to make sure that you have deleted all APNs except for tmobile? Second question would be how did you update your radio?

Know that you are having this issue but it is an ongoing problem with the Nexus phone line that is being researched.

it is not a nexus issue. i have a nexus 4, nexus 5, and nexus 6, and they experience no such problems. chances are that people are just having local connectivity issues.

This is not a local network issue. I have been having the same problem for about two weeks now. Swapped out sim cards, Got new phone, and tried a factory reset. None of which worked. Contacted T-Mobile and Google. Neither of them know what it could be and say they don't have a fix. I have since contacted Motorola and am working with them now to figure out what is going on. From other forums I have read, this is a problem happening with T-Mobile, sprint, and even some Verizon users. Also people are saying that it is not just happening on lollipop 5.1 but also 5.0

I have been experiencing the same thing in my area. Its pretty bizarre, T-Mobile says no issues in my area, but I go up north and I get great reception on the same phone...Phoenix LTE on 5.1 on this phone sucks, the Nexus 5 was much better :/

Just drove from KC to Chicago. Happened in some locals but not others.

Thanks for Reply
This is not a modded build, its google factory image, Do i still need to update/delete the apn's ?
Especially i never had this issue when on 5.0.x when i updated to 5.1 this issue started to happening. Please let me know.

My wife and i are both on t-mo, i have the n6 and she has an alcatel one touch fierce 2. Her phone always says 4G (unless it drops to 2G) In my house she's on 4G the whole time and mine is usually on H or H+... I have wondered why, we're on the same network and mine can't keep an LTE signal but hers can? I hope a fix is found soon... I have tried different ROM's/kernels/deleting APN's all have had the same result, which tells me maybe the radio needs tweaking or something?..

h/h+ is the absolutely same thing as 4G. 4G isnt a resl speed, its describing h/h+ mostly. the only difference is that her phone displays 4G, which is dumb, and your phone is displaying the true signal. 4G isnt lte, 4G is any speed faster than 3G, and h/h+ can be as fast if not faster than lte.

As far as i know H would be 3G, H+ would technically be 3.5G, and LTE would be true 4G. Anyway that's not my point, my point is that her phone's connection is consistent meaning searching the web, or certain apps always load the same. Mine is spiratic...

both H and H+ would be considered 3.5G, but for tmobile its called 4G. with H/H+, i see data speeds up to 41mbps, pretty much the same as most people see with lte as well. what you can do is compare your data speeds with your wives data speeds. on tmobile, tmobile phones will show 4G, and non tmobile phones will show an H, H+, or lte.

The only thing i've ever checked network speed with is speedtest.net app, just ran a test while on LTE and i only got 11mbps download and 2mbps upload...

while thats not some great lte speed, it is normal. in big cities, tmo has a bit more advanced lte out. in smaller cities, thats the normal lte speed. for example, someone started a thread in the general section about cincinati tmo data speeds, saying that tmo just started putting up faster lte speeds there. im in nyc, and see data speeds any where from 10mbps download to 65mbps download speeds, but nyc is also tmo largest market. btw, where are you located? oh, data speeds will also vary depending jow busy the towers are. in the daytime, lte speeds will be a lot slower than at 3am for example.

Just ran the test on H+, 2mbps download and 0.3mbps upload..

i just looked up ontario, california.. you live near Angeles National Forest? tmobile services are probably a bit weaker around there. it wouls be intetesting to take speed tests with both devices in the same place, at the same time actually.

So i did a test on both of our phones at my house, and they were similar. Haven't done one when i'm on LTE to see if she matches mine, but what's weird is i use to get LTE in my house for the most part, but now i don't at all.. Does someone have the link for the newest radio?

Do you have the baseband info for them? Thanks
