Hey guys, new to the WinMobile and Cingular and the Treo for that fact.
I have searched this board (maybe I am using the wrong search terms??) but I am trying to find a way to tweak my 3G connection and get it running as fast as possible.
Right now here is what a test is giving me:
151kbit/second...
153kbit/sec
198kbit/sec
That right???
When doing the speed test are you doing while it shows a "U" on the top part of the phone? You may be doing the speed test while the "G" is showing. Where I am I get speeds @ about 392-397 w/o the HSDPA hack.
I was in a U area...I reran it and I got 350kb.
Going to look for the HSPDA hack...Have a link by chance?

You need to replace your shellres.96.dll file...attached is the one from my rom--but be forewarned it'll replace your busy icon with a black style one as well. Copy one from someone else's rom if this isn't to your liking...

Maybe I'm not thinking straight, but what "busy icon" are you referring to?
Also, my icon hasn't said "3G" since the AT&T factory ROM. Ever since I've switched to Dutty's ROMs, it's said "H." What's the diff, if any?
3G = 3G
H = HSDPA
Could someone send a screenshot?

BIG difference. The "H" stands for HSDPA or High Speed Downlink Packet access. It is one of the 3G protocols but much faster than typical Edge networks (another 3G protocol).
Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but Edge networks have a peak of 1Mb/sec with a more realistic 400kb-700kb throughput. HSDPA networks operate (at least here in northern california) at 7.2 Mb/sec. I believe I read somewhere that in Japan the HSDPA networks run at 14.4 Mb.
The Kaiser/TIlt is HSDPA capable, but AT&T has it disabled in the registry. The registry tweak to enable it has been done in your build. You can also achieve this by running Kaiser Tweak.
The other difference is that seeing the "H" pop up on my phone always makes me smile

The reason you H now and not on the stock ATT ROM is because by default ATT had the ability to jump to HSDPA speed turned off, you could only get 3g. With a simply registry hack, HSDPA is turned on and you get faster speeds (if HSDPA is available in your area). All the cooked ROMs have the reg hack already done.
hi quenti thank you for your response. i downloaded the icon u attached, extracted them and pasted them in the windows folder, but nothing changes? what did i do wrong? the icon shown still the old ones

First copy file to your MOB then copy it to windows
Then it will work... due the win-mob copy protection.
Here you go. Simple cab install. I've been using this faithfully since PK & Bennec released it.
thank you fb401, thanks guys. problem solved

I replaced the file but now i don't see any icons and when ik start file resco's file explorer all the folder icons changed into help icons
Now can i somehow change this back without having to hard reset??
Could someone please share the original shellres.96.dll with me. So i can replace it with the one that messed up my icons (Yes I was dumb enough to not do backup ). I would be so greathfull

Your's was a pointless statement. You didn't even ask a question. Are you having problems making calls, or getting data, or does it just bother you that only 1 bar is showing? How do other phones behave in the same location? Did it work with the factory firmware?
The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that!"

You need to give a lot more info than "1.6 something" for anyone to help. Just FYI, every radio on the Thunderbolt right now is "1.6 something." Also, you have one bar, but has it been better on the other radio? Does it drop in and out? Do you have data, or only affecting voice calls? What is your actual signal reading (in dbm)? Did you flash anything recently?
Kinda weird that you would give no info and get upset when no info is given back.
My radio is 1.1600_W1
The other radios are
1.12
And the leaked is 1.13
I flashed adrynalnye kernal test A.zip
Got 6-5 bars now.
My mistake. Glad you got it working. For reference, do you remember what kernel you were on when you had signal issues?
Sent from my Thunderbolt
I'm not sure which kernel it was sorry.
does anyone knows why i cannot get more than 700kbps downsload and i do get 1000-2500kbps upload???
i have a custom ROM TB Fusion 2.0.1, i have tried a lot of radios (actually using 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
does anyone knows a solution or what could be the problem?

did you try flashing the proper RIL for that radio? also, did you check your apn settings?

Might not be your issue buy for me the speedtest app never seems to accurately reflect my actual speeds, particularly on the dl side. Even when connected to WiFi using cable or dsl, speedtest will show slow speeds whereas opening the browser and testing with the speakeasy speedtest I get exactly what I should be. I have tried changing the server but that doesn't seem to help in my case.
It is not limited to just my inspire either as the same issue shows up on my thunderbolt and sensation.
tl;dr speedtest app sucks
I saw something in a post about how to get rid of the grey bars on my data before but can't find where it is located again.

If you mean your mobile data and wifi bars changing colors, that happens when google talk connects i believe.
