Is it possible to edit the build.prop file like the on the Inspire 4G to achieve better speeds?

I apologize if I put it in the wrong forum, but I didn't think that editing the build.prop file or regulating 4G speeds that AT&T hasn't "given" us access to yet was a general question.
Aside from that, is it possible?

So, you want to post in development? Ask yourself this:
Is what I am going to post a question?
If so, this is not the right place to post a new thread. Instead, use the SEARCH function to find a thread about your question. If that's not available, post your question in General.

Well no offense to anyone, but changing the build.prop of any phone to alter the dynamics of how to phone runs or behaves sounds like development to me...
Can it be done? Do you know how exactly it's done on the inspire?

Your missing what the dev section is for.
If someone had a custom Build.prop they wanted to share, that is a Dev post. Asking a question about development is not.
no, from what I've been tinkering with in the test settings (accessed with *#0011#) and pressing menu, back, selecting "network control", then "hspa cat control", I'm able to get better speeds on CAT 10 than CAT 14, but other's speeds may vary. (I know I'm a heavy user that uses over 15 to 20 GB per month too, so it may just be going through a CAT that I'm not throttled on too.... )
But with all above, I agree that this should be in General....
the inspire has hsupa disabled foe the att version with a line in build.prop. hsupa has been disabled on all att phone cept the iphone and the infuse. tere have been different meathods to disable it but is irrelevant because the infuse has it enabled. ther may be other settings to change but not to get even better speeds but I don't think it will be in build.prop or yield the same results.

wow i started messing with the diffrent CAT settings on my infuse and now i have gotten up to 5250 down on my speed test! before the most ive gotten was low 3000's. a friend of mine has a infuse 4g also but he has gotten up to 10,000 down! he usually averages 7-8k on speed tests. WHY????? he has had his phone since it came out i think.
Someone needs to build a CAT setting tester/optimizer!

So i just followed what you said and the first screen that comes up, the general service mode screen says im running on 3g even though up in my task bar it shows the H+ symbol. Has my infuse been lying to me this whole time?

No, AT&T has. HSPA+ is still 3G, even though AT&T calls it 4g. They may re-brand all the user-facing stuff to say 4G, but the phone's technical information that you aren't supposed to see will refer to it by its technical term, 3G.
if its not LTE , its not 4g Sorry to burst your bubble. I truely miss Tmobile when it comes to data. I would get around 6megs down all the time on "3g". I dont even get 3 most times with at&t and the upload is such horrible ****.

LTE isn't 4G either, if you want to lump HSPA+ into ' it's not 4G' category. LTE currently offers nothing remotely close to the original ITU specs.

I typically get 3-4 Mbps at work/home. Last week I was about 4 miles away, got 8.9Mbps. Another day I was about 5 miles further, got 5.5 Mbps. Depends on which tower you're on.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. I switched the CAT and got improvement at my office... Now just to check at home.
I almost feel like my Captivate was faster somehow....

Had this phone about a week. Rooted with coredroid rom. I'm doing regular speed tests and im getting 1.2-2 mbps on average. Tonight i tried the 2nd apn and after a while i hit around 3. Am i missing something? Is att that lame? I'm coming from a captivate and i was getting those kind of speeds on it. I live in the philadelphia area so its not like i'm out in the woods.

After rooting with Infused it is showing 3/4 sometimes 4/4 bars in my apt and I know for a fact that I have next to no service depending where i am and always had 0 or 1 bar before rooting. Now it shows almost full but will not send/receive texts. I used to be able to send texts if I sat it on the end of the couch but now I don't even get that.
I know you have to calibrate the battery after installing a rom but do you have to do something similar with the signal strength as well? Mine is way off.
theres no calibration for signal strength.

Yes they do. AT&T doesn't get that great of service in my place. The Infuse does seem worse than my iphone as far as reception I just need to move. Weird thing is that this phone will show full bars but can't even send a text. Knowing my signal strength before installing a rom I know it was always at 1 or no bars depending where it was in my apt.

Try returning to stock. Really sounds like a tower went online for you.
As to not being able to send a text - I stopped being able to send texts a few days ago, but I can't send anything from no less than 3 different phones using my SIM.
Can you call out or use data?
I can but I have to be in a perfect spot. I just picked up an AT&T 3g micro cell tower. Supposed to give me 5 bars in the house. Where I am is really a dead spot for ATT. I'm out right now and the phone is working great out side of that area.
My wife has an iphone 4 and gets better service but still only one bar for her. infuse antenna must be a little weaker maybe.

Hypothetically if I had a Epic 4G Touch with a Bad ESN and I wanted to change my ESN/MEID to my Nexus S 4G would it be done in the same way as switching to boost with a donor phone
I am actually just curious. I don't see the need to upgrade my NS4G until GN comes to sprint.

As stated in an earlier post, the question wasnt about legality. Yes, im sure he understands that there may be some legality issues with this, nobody posted a how-to or detailed info on how to perform what he wants to do.
So again, why are you in this thread? Youve made 3 posts here and and contributed nothing but random mis-spelled words of negativity thrown together to form a sentence.

Hey guys, Im new here but look forward to learning from this great community. That being said, I also questioned the leaglity of switching a phones netwrok. From what I understand, it should be legal according to the new exemptions to section 1201 of the Digital Millennium copyright act:
The new exemptions allow circumvention of (A) locks on cellular phone software, known in the industry as “bootloader” programs, that prevent customers from switching carriers without obtaining new handsets;
quoted from (wont let me link to web page due to new user, but you can google it) This is a new change, just going into effect in November.
That being said, I had a Nexus flashed to boost and it works fine. The only problem that I have is that they will not port my old number over due to it being an 'unsupported device'. Now I need to figure out if I root it, will it cause issues with the flash?
Can somebody PM me what was meant by "same as the evo without the meid change" please?

The process is not the same as the evo, its the same as any other Samsung phone. Just google Epic on Boost and you'll find instructions.
As far as rooting the device, it wont affect the radio portion of the phone which is what is used to make calls use 3g data. The only thing that will be lost is the MMSC URL setting in the data menu only if you flash a new ROM. That setting controls pic and mms messaging. It will usually default back to "http://mms.mysprintpcs.com". Just edit it so it reads "mm.myboostmobile.com". The data menu is accessed in the dialer by ##3282#, you'll need the SPC to make any changes.

BTW, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can tether if you are rooted. From what I was reading it seemed that the people that were doing this were not being charged by AT&T. Although I only read a few posts and don't know the details.
I'm sure someone here can clarify further.

Ah, can't wait for it to get around Cincinnati.

in regards to tethering, they can tell. When you tether they can tell by looking at the data packets. I'm not sure about the specifics, but the type of data packets or the signature or something changes so they can tell.
That's how they could tell with the iPhones, I'm sure its the same thing regardless of which phone you have because its more of a network thing.
I tether, with my old iPhone and this phone. But I'm not a heavy user (almost never even get close to 1gb of data). Never been yelled at.
If you do get called out on it, just play dumb. Just be like oh I didn't know I was doing that. I run Ubuntu from my phone, that might be it. You know, stuff that the representative won't know how to deal with / can't deal with it.

Yeah, I'm not running the stock Radio.
I honestly think it's something to do with your service at the moment. I was throttled recently and my LTE speeds wouldn't even hit close to 1Mbps, but my ping was its normal speed. Your ping is over 3 times what mine is. Granted not everyone is the same but your ping seems awful high to me. Do you remember what your ping normally is when your speeds are fast? Also, when being throttled my speed test would shoot up real fast like normal for just a second before the throttle kicked in. Does yours do that?

I honestly think it's something to do with your service at the moment. I was throttled recently and my LTE speeds wouldn't even hit close to 1Mbps, but my ping was its normal speed. Your ping is over 3 times what mine is. Granted not everyone is the same but your ping seems awful high to me. Do you remember what your ping normally is when your speeds are fast? Also, when being throttled my speed test would shoot up real fast like normal for just a second before the throttle kicked in. Does yours do that?

I have 2 bars on LTE and still pull over 20Mbps easy. I don't think bars mean as much with LTE.

Yeah, it was actually doing that with upload earlier.
I'm about to say screw it and go for the nexus 4, the One XL has given too much problems.

and I'm not really sure what my ping was. Maybe in the 50's I don't remember

Well that doesn't make any sense, if data speeds are your concern. The Nexus 4 doesn't even get LTE.
But these aren't even close to throttling speeds. Those are more on the order of 100-200 kbps from what others have posted on here. Are you on a custom ROM, and if so which one?
If this is a spontaneous change, could just be a network issue.

My upload almost always does that. I was talking about the download portion. I don't even think my upload speeds were affected at all when I was being throttled.

Your ping should be in the 50ms, or under, range but in both of your screenshots it was over 160. That's why I don't think you were being throttled. Are you on one of the old unlimited plans still? Those are the only plans you will get throttled on, I believe. I lost my unlimited data when my company changed how they did company phones so now I'm on a mobile share plan which I know they won't throttle me on. Why throttle customers that go over their data when they can just charge them more.
Yes Yes and Yes

What is this garbage? I've been noticing a speed decrease in my LTE and I'm starting to wonder... My plan restarts the 19th of every month.

These are the same speeds i was getting when i got throttled too. I in fact called AT&T to ask what was happening and they warned me about throttling, and did something to bring me back to 45mbps. :fingers-crossed: Good luck

Yeah, I've been grandfathered into unlimited.
Eh. The phone in general is a pain to even mod. My comment was really irrelevant to everything Lol.

Really? I think this phone is extremely easy to mod. Sure, we had to wait to get the bootloader unlocked and s-off but the methods are simple enough to do. Once you have a custom recovery it's exactly the same as any other phone out there.
Back to the throttling thing. Do you know how much data you've used this billing cycle? I used to go over 5GB a month when I was unlimited and never got throttled. The only time I was ever throttled was when I had used a little over 8GB of data with a week left in my billing cycle. I've heard of people getting throttled for less though.

That's part of the fun of rooting... the learning process, understanding how things work and what your doing. These phones are released locked with security flags and whatnot for a reason. You've got countless noobs who can't even understand why a ROM designed for a phone won't work on a phone with completely different hardware. Making things easier is the problem. If anything I think devs should stop dumbing things down. I agree things should be easy to run and use and work as it should when you're stock but if you make the choice to mess with your software it's up to you to diagnose and fix any bugs that may arise.
I wanna be a doctor so I started cutting people open but then realized man this **** is hard! D: They should make it easier!

Well my bill renewed the 19th... but I was in the woodlands and I ran it again and I was getting 20mpbs down and about 9 up. Still not as fast as it was.

Only problem is I ALWAYS get a bootloop when trying to flash a kernel. boot img and all. I have to reflash the stock kernel from the viper xl aroma installer. Terrifies me when I come across that garbage.

If you want to narrow the cause down, the first thing I would do is RUU to stock (make sure you're S-OFF first) and test speeds. Then you'll know it's either the phone(hardware) or the network. And you can call/visit your carrier to find the cause between the two. If it works fine after RUUing, you know it's something you flashed and can work from there or stay stock if you so decide.

20 down and 9 up are good LTE speeds. What exactly are you expecting? That speed is faster than the most people's home internet. Sure it's not the best I've seen but no where near being throttled. That is a good bit faster than all of my friends that use Verizon LTE. When you are throttled it is basically unusable. I had slower than edge speeds when being throttled.
Some kernels you have to flash in recovery and the boot.img for them to work because they load modules and stuff in recovery that just flashing the boot.img doesn't do. I suggest doing the method to get s-off. It's very simple and makes everything much easier.
