LTE data speed increase/build.prop edit - Nexus 5 General

ive been messing with build.prop edits today to see if i can increase my LTE data speeds. i average around 25-35mbps normally, but today after using these lines in my build.prop, im hitting 45mbps download(in queens) today. i again deleted these lines, and am maxing at 30mbps. so i re added them, and again im maxing around 45mbps download.
add these to your build.prop, then reboot for them to take affect..
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=27
ro.ril.hsupa.category=7
please let me know if this works or doesnt work for you

I'm not doubting your results, but I don't think any of those lines deal with LTE.

i didnt think so either(which is why id like to know the results from others as well). but, i found a few being used by other lte devices, and ive never seen over 36mbps except for today after using them. i am probably going to remove a few lines though.

Here's a nice explanation about those build.prop lines from @TheManii http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610444
I do remember tweaking those lines over and over in the Nexus One days though. I could never really tell if it was doing any good or not.
I don't doubt you at all. I'm just curious as to the reason why your speeds increased.

Omni build.prop 47ms Ping, 12.22 mbps Down, 10.03 mbps Up
Modified build.prop 47ms Ping, 13.68 mbps Down, 9.13 mbps Up
Sort of a mixed bag for me on T-Mobile. Better Down with modified, better Up with Omni's.
Took these results within 10 minutes of one another with my phone remaining in the same spot, untouched each time.

i used four lines(3 of these) on my n1, ns, gnex, and n4 as well. it didnt increase speed per se, it more like "uncapped" the top speed. and it did work on them. i stopped doing it on my n4, when i enabled lte(because i didnt think it was possible to do the same with lte). now that bit of speed increase i got today made me curious if it was just a derp, if it actually works, and if it works for others.

Added, rebooted, and impact is rather negligible. However, didn't comb through previous build.prop set up to see if tweaks already included on ROM I'm currently running.

So it looks like my down speeds stayed consistently slightly faster and my up speeds decreased a little. I think that was happening to others as well.

Having used those settings on non LTE phones before, I thought that they weren't necessary but helped.. a lot
Those are slow speeds because in my room i get 2 bars but the difference is noticeable after the change.

I'm in China atm so tested with hspa and definitely saw improvements:
download went from 7mb - 11mb
upload went 4mb - 3.5mb
So the trend seems to be download speeds improve while upload speeds slightly decrease. Thanks for the tip

Are you for real? This must be a prank post!
I mean, be for real! The Wizard runs stock at 195MHZ, the author basically warns you that monkeys might fly out of your ass if you overclock so you push it the max and complain that you're experiencing weird stuff?????
(Bet your battery drains faster also, but that just a thought)
Thanks a million! Had a tiff with the wife and you've gotten a smile out of me!
(Also, these types of post are better served in the Wizard forum, not here. (Has nothing to do with Upgrading)
As an aside, I think the most common speed here is 260MHZ with BatteryStatus...
In the 60's we were told "speed kills" ... now I know why!
Yeah the overclocking wasn't stable and affected the framebuffer or other display related speed setting and thus caused your "vibrating letters" from the sounds of things. Just to remind you that overclocking can affect RAM timings too so it may have a negative (read: PERMANENT) effect on your RAM in there too.

It was just to try, and no my battery dont drain that faster, I lost ~7% in 1hour with bluetooth and wifi activated. I tried the 312 settings to see how fast wm6 was at the frequency since most of the device with the legit version will run at that speed. Simple curiosity since the setting was there. But still I'm wondering what in that Omap less overclockable that say a Xscale? I remember being able to get 100mhz out of my iPaq hx2210..... And I know that the regular setting is 260 for the Wizard but even at that speed on my particular device coolcamera is sluggish and videos on Coreplayer are like slideshows this is why I choose a higher setting...... But thanks for telling me what was affected by the overspeeding....

try upping it to 500mhz that always helps me.
and about the usb fan. you can try putting it in the freezer to get the temp down.

Well you see the light that comes on in the freezer? Well if you take the buld out and wire the 2 pins directly to a loudspeaker it becomes a bluetooth cellphone ringtone amplifier.

we all know you can put phones in freezers. This forum isnt made for jokes or lies, some people are really trying to get help. What happened if someone really put it in the freezer?? Then what would be so funny?
Newbies: please don't do anything anyone has said here, phones that are overclocked obviously need to be held under running water. Make sure to press all the buttons so the water can get to the problem source.
Honestly, i really cant believe you guys

I think that maybe a car battery might work, run the AC (putting the phone in front of a vent of course), direct wire the phone--you don't need to worry about a fuse--I don't think it will run much more than 3 or 4 seconds--it'll be fast for a little bit.

Nexus 5 Undervolting thread

I found this thread very useful on the N4 forums, so here it is for the Nexus 5.
First, what is undervolting?
No two CPUs are made equally, every one is slightly different. This means they each need a different minimum voltage to run completely stable, so manufacturers set it high enough so that every chip can run without needing a voltage tailored to that specific chip. But this means that most devices can have their voltages lowered, and still run 100% stable
What are the benefits of undervolting?
In my experience, heat reduction is the main benefit. However, this heat reduction has implications elsewhere; for instance it means the thermal throttling will kick in later, so there is less of a performance drop. Also, less power is wasted to heat, meaning marginal gains in battery life. If you cannot run higher frequencies, i.e. over 2.26GHz, undervolting/overvolting these frequencies may help.
Any disadvantages?
Not really - you may experience reboots and instability, but that means you need to raise the voltages. Also, make sure you don't check set on boot until you know the voltages are stable, but if you have any problems you can flash the stock kernel, or in worst case wipe the data from a recovery.
How do I undervolt?
Many CPU apps are available to change the voltages, but personally I use Trickster Mod (donate). Just slowly decrease your voltages, small amounts at a time, and set them on boot when you are happy they are stable.
If you want to really want to get your voltages perfect, you can set the min/max frequency to one you want to modify, and edit each frequency to perfection. To save time, I'd recommend starting with the highly used frequencies - many apps can tell you which your device uses most often.
CPU Binning
I know on the nexus 4 the cpu bin was related to the amount users could undervolt, and Im sure the case is still the same, so heres how you can find out your CPU bin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515593 It would be useful to include your CPU bin in your post.
Here are my initial voltages, running ElementalX v0.7, CPU bin 3 and PSX - please, feel free to share yours (and your knowledge);

Rules of the thread
Be nice to each other, use search if you have a question, and don't flame noobs for no reason.
It would be helpful to include your CPU bin and kernel in your post.
Also, if I have made any errors in the OP or you feel something should be added, quote this (so I get notified) and tell me, I'm sure theres a lot more information I could include!

Same has just happened to me too, so I'll bump them up to -62.5, although I think I should be able to keep the lower CPU clocks at lower voltages as I'm sure the higher ones are used when turning on the screen

I'm running franco r14 and got two almost immediate reboots on your settings. Gonna go a little easier. I have no experience doing this, so it's still a bit confusing.
can probably go a bit easier on the higher clocks, my settings are -75 mv below 1.8 ghz and -50 above. Just played some deer hunter 2014 and seems to be fine. No reboots so farr! My bin is 3 as well. Running stock rom with faux003b6 kernel
I have a bin of 3 as well. I've only been brave enough to go -37.5 on Fauxs latest beta kernel
Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
Got a CPU bin of 2. I went for -50 undervolt for all frequencies on Faux kernel 002 a few days ago, no reboots so far. Haven't tried -62.5 but -75 was too much, so I'll stick with -50.
I was a little bummed when I found out I had bin 2, but I've been running -75mv no problem for the past few days on bricked kernel
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
You guys are lucky. My phone has bin of 1, could only uv 50mv on high frequency and 75mv on the low end, and I have higher default voltage to begin with.

So far I believe the best app to test UV stability is Antutu Benchmark, I could pass StabilityTest no problem but Antutu always FC when I UV bit too hard.

I have a PVS 0 and I can undervolt - 100 without any lockups or reboot. Actually the device hasn't rebooted on me once ever. The only problem is it lacks CPU performance but the GPU works fine.

Nope, don't you think everybody is able to? Your device being a PSV 0 and mine being a 4, I don't think it makes much difference.
It could be fun to see how far we can push it. I don't experience any problems on 3014, so I'm thinking that we can go higher

im a pvs 3. for 3 and 4 it should be easier to run. anyways, all cpus arent equal, some are better than others.

Sorry there, misread a previous post if yours. But think about it, wouldn't it be awesome figuring out how much we can push it. As a bonus I would love tauting my little brother, joking about how my phone runs at the double amount of clocks of his One (if 3.4 GHz is even possible)

This is what I get I might switch kernels to that could be the problem because I under clocked today and didn't do much on my phone as I was at school

[FIxed]Note 9 vs p20 pro Download speed

I was feeling there was an issue with my Note 9 compared to my Note 8 and P20p Thus i decided to do a speedtest. the phones were at the same place and nothing was using the bandwidth. Surprise. look at the video, and you will see. (N8 and p20 came with the same results).
I would like to ask some of you who already have it to test it against other phones to see if i'm the only one with this issue. I have the latest firmware on it and didn't test it before the update...but this is really not normal. I also feel it's just "slower" in general than the p20p...
check this link for the video
Upload video on Youtube plz
Yeah, as a network engineer I'm not going to touch random files on a Dropbox. At least link a speedtest.net result or the image.
I have my note 9 coming on Friday so I can put some effort into getting the optimal wireless connection (there's so many variables involved, I'm a wireless network engineer working for a wisp so all in my realm of knowledge) and give it a test.
I'd be very surprised if its a downgrade compared to Huawei, Samsung spend a lot of time on their LTE radios, now running on CAT 18, with MIMO, for a theoretical bandwidth of 1.2 gbit/s. Will know for sure Friday!

Can't find info on the chipset in the S9+, but I can find that they have MU-MIMO and 1024QAM, so it definitely should be quicker if you have a router supporting the above.

PS : for information i'm on Ubiquiti hardware here.
Strangely i was able to when i cleared cache....
Aha, well, I'm UBWA certified actually
We're bound to see some minor oddities like such before launch, nice to know its not the phone!
not that shocking to be honest shocking would be getting like 2mg dl not still nearly 50 lol

I'll be doing it for my own amusement so definitely happy to share!
Since the test was on WiFi, and not LTE the work Samsung has done on the modem is irelivant.
My question is, are they really on the same network? The results make me think that your Note may be hitting the 2ghz network not the 5ghz network.

Read the thead mate, it was a cache issue. I was only pointing out Samsungs dedication to connectivity, and I did follow up with somewhat comparable specs for the radio.
It could be a number of things, potentially more sensitive radio in the note 9 that struggles to handle interference, etc, it'd be pretty obvious to be on the wrong network.

Perhaps Mate, you need to clarify... first you wrote "shocking!" in the header of the thread, then in one post you said "Strangely i was able to when i cleared cache...." which didn't mean anything to me, and certainly not that you discovered the problem.
And no... being on a 2ghz network vs 5ghz network can be an invisible decision made by the hardware, and many networks are using the same network name. So it wouldn't necessarily be obvious.
For example, in my house, the network ID is "MyHouse" for both the 5ghz and the 2 ghz networks... the Chromecast is on the 2ghz network, and my phone is hitting the 5 ghz network. They see each other and is seamless.
Dude, I don't know one router that has the same SSID by default for both networks. Someone changing the network should notice the difference then.
BTW, I'm not OP, just someone helping.

Though i would add my results here also, Verizon snapdragon model. Definitely seems like something is going on with your test. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/4188275993
so you guys testing your wifi speed using your isp network is telling us what exactly?
at best you should test locally but even there. if your network equipment is not on pare then again your testing with too many faulty variables and it won't show phones true potential.
ignorant people would state that a phones wifi has issues because upload speeds sucks compared to DL or just both seem slow.
but in fact what sucks is ISP internet package and not the phone. obviously other parameters like specific servers the test is being done on can co tribute to faulty 'online' test results.
so we have a few factors which make tests like these irrelevant:
-****ty internet package subscription
-****ty test server
-****ty home network
for cell data tests, well we need good weather and be near a cell tower.
but again this proves less concerning phone's capabilites as throughput but more towards signal quality.
and the average will be provider's coverage. how many towers they utilise and your signal strength in general in most common locations you visit.
*btw OP dude, do everyone a favor and correct your thread title...
i was tested on 4 devices, Note 8, XZ2, Iphone X and Note 9, so seem XZ2 always faster and winner

Sorry dude, but there's so many more factors to be able to throw any of this out. I really hope no one is taking this that seriously.
For one, I have no idea about the noise floor (background EMF noise level) on whichever frequency people have decided to run your AP. (Be it 2.4 or 5ghz, and then which channel, 2.4 ghz only really has three channels, 1,6,11, with the other channels just being overlaps. 5ghz has a lot more but usually everything is on 5180 (channel 36) due to DFS above 5250mhz in mos6 countries. Chances are all of you are suffering from interference.
Then we could talk about MIMO. Each MIMO chain nets you +3db so routers supporting MU-MIMO could see big signal increases just from both devices having multiple MIMO streams going on.
S9+ (and probably the note 9) supports QAM1024, essentially fitting more data over a link at once to the risk of needing a higher signal to noise ratio (this is where noise floors and interference comes heavily into it)
Every situation is unique, I think we should try and explore but please share your enviroment, I.e your router, where you are (apartment, house, city, rural etc) and then we can only start making sense of things.

but you have to agree that it is folly to report wifi speedtests using home internet and its limitations by the ISP as being a way to gauge a phone's capabilites.

No, I'm not sure I agree.
If you cable into your router and do a speed test, and use that as your comparison point, I don't see the problem with using a home connection to test.
I don't know what limitations you're talking about, in my experience for speed testing you're routed into the DC where your ISP has its presence then either a speed test server within your ISPs DC network or one right next to it in the same DC.

Slow WIFI speed

I have a 150Mbps internet connection which hits up to 170Mbps . I don't have separate band for WIFI. I ran speed test on my pc connected to the WIFI and it shows 161Mbps and when checking the same on my Galaxy Note 9, it doesn't go more than 90Mbps. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Note: I have turned off Bluetooth, Location and sim services. Done resetting and clearing cache. Tried the same with no other apps installed.
Just tested without disabling anything (bt on, many apps in background etc).
So Exynos model wifi is much faster than 100Mbps.
Something's really wrong with your phone or wifi network.

On my router at home, sometimes when I connect, I have to reconnect straight away to get the best speeds. I think it might be something to do with 2.4 vs 5ghz bands.
Your rooter is probably at fault. You need an AC rooter with more than 300 MB (as its 150 dl+150ul) set on 5Ghz with 80Mhz. Look at my stats on a Gigabit connection. I did the test while streaming a 4k hdr tv show on netflix

Thanks for your reply. I have tested my router with multiple devices and the speed test always shows above 150Mbps. The issue is with my mobile or the config that my router does when connecting this device. Can you please provide any advice on this?
I'm having slow Wi-Fi performance as well.
I discovered it when I was doing concurrent benchmark app downloads with my LG v30+.
The Note 9 was at least 1/2 as slow (or slower).
Same network & same time so it's not likely a router thing in my case.
This was at work so It's 2.4Ghz.
I'll try testing at home on 5Ghz to see if the issue is the same.

With this morning's tests the phone seems to be performing better.
I downloaded two different apps, and at first it started out slower but both times it caught up and ended up downloading faster than the control phone.
I'll keep checking and report back if the issue returns.
It's baaaaaaaak!
I thought it was better.
But started noticing I had messages sitting unsent, and just general download slowness.
Did another side-by-side comparison with the LG V30+.
Two of these tests were done simultaneously, two sequentially.
All are looking pretty bad for the Note.
Did a "reset settings" and a "reset network settings", didn't improve anything.
Just did a restart and it fared no better.
I may have to resort to a factory reset, don't want to as phone is finally all set up.

I'm hoping it's fixable.
I gave Samsung a second chance (I had the Note 7).
I'm really liking the phone, but I really like my LG V20 and V30 and the V40 is about to drop.
I'm within the return window at Sprint, gonna have to decide soon.

Update,
My work's router seems to be the issue after all.
I'm not able to reset it during the business day, but I did plug in a second router into it and the speed improved greatly.
It seems to now be on par with my other phone now.
I will keep testing.
Second update:The 5Ghz is smoking fast, 66Mbps up/down. This is on the secondary router.
I'm not sure why our router hates my phone but it does.
Connect to it; little to no Wi-Fi throughput.
Connect to the router plugged into it; normal Wi-Fi throughput.
Since I had two comparable devices connected to the same network, It never would have occurred to me it could be the router.
Another good step to do that I forgot about, after resetting settings power off and boot into bootloader and clear the cache.
Verizon Note 9
My Note 9 is slower than other devices on my WiFi network. I have Galaxy S8 Plus and Fios 75/75 service , when I run speed test my S8 shows about 80/80 but Note 9 never goes more than 65/55 . The same results with my second Note 9 , so it definitely problem with their phones. Shame on you Samsung!
my wifi is broke, I'm not getting 1Gbps:
