Mine comes and goes. Sometimes it will get to 2mbs down and other times it might be .6 down... I didn't put it on with the new modems, but on previous ROMS with past modems, I would run the 3g turbocharger by zeppelinrox and it made a BIG difference.. about twice as fast and a ping under 100

Don't really know how to run scripts or adb my pink is like 2 to 3 hundred what the risks running this script?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Id say its low risk. He has built in where you can undo the changes. Its easy... just put the script on your sd card > load in script manager (free in market) > run as root > then follow the directions that pop up. There are different settings to try. The "fast" setting worked best for me. His post has very good directions and it was the 1st time doing anything like that for me and it went without a hitch... I hope it works well for you!

So I am assuming you just put the. Txt file in the root of SD card correct
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Doesn't have to be. I keep all that stuff right on the main part of the sd. I forgot to mention that it says to use busybox 1.182 (I think) or lower. You can get the busybox installer from the market - by jrummy is the one I used. Im reciting this all from memory so I would def. read the post first. Good luck

The app improves the GPS NTP time settings in your gps.conf file and add's a gps suppliant host.
Simply download and run the app. SHOULD work on all devices. Tested on Galaxy S and HTC Desire (S-OFF).
Root and busybox are needed, modern HTC phones need to be S-OFF!

If it just gives a black screen
This happens either because of (not having) BusyBox or Superuser
1. Make sure you have BusyBox installed.
2. Try to force close and restart the app.

jz3's GPS improvement ZIP already has the NTP server set correctly.
Also, Infused 1.5.0 and above already have the NTP server set to america.pool.ntp.org
I just installed this, went outside and got a good signal in less than 5 seconds! Earlier this morning it was taking around a min and my phone kept losing/mis reading the signal while I was running using RunKeeper.
Well some people still have had issues with gps. Once again its just another option.

Yeah that's the sad part I upgrades to the July 16 gingerbread bseband and its still slow as balls. I've tried.bloater and everything.I haven't tried manually editing the GPS config as I'm scared to mess it up. I might attempt to flash back to stock and wipe system a billion times to clear everything then reflash and see what happens bit I love miui.us too Mich and want to keep it...the inlet downside o have right now is GPS everything else is perfect

Question regarding market

Hi guys, I wanna know whether something wrong with phone/market or everyone experiences the same thing. The issue is market shows maybe 1% of the total hits. For example if I search clock in the market then it says 21000 as result but when I start to scroll down it shows only 2_3 pages and stops there as if thats it, no more apps.
I did not experience this with the old market. I have gs2 and no root.
Anything I can do??
Thnx

I have the same problem and have not gotten an answer either. Say I search for "root" 50 apps will show up, but at the top out will say 2000. But I want to see them all. I don't get it.

I deleted all cache and data etc and same thing even deleted market and reinstalled så need some advise here.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I did that too. the only way to get it back to normal is to install the old market. Your going to have to root to do that. Just revert back and freeze the updater
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I don't like the new market. So many developers are loosing money by not having their apps visable. Plus google isn't any help. Tried that too

I have the same issue. Also, some of the pictures are not working.
If I check out a app the small preview pictures are fine but if I touch them to fit the screen I have problems viewing them. Usually the second one is only a black screen.

Tbolt vs razr 4g speed

My wifes razr just got 20+Mbps down and 10Mbps up while mine was 2to 5 down and 1 to 2 up. Multiple tests side by side. What's this about?

Ill take a stab at that one. It looks, and i read it several times just to make sure, but it looks like hers is 4 to 10 times faster than yours, but thats just a guess.

It could be many things. What rom are you on and what did you test it with?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I read that its the gingerbread software, I get around 5mbps
Strange, I get up to 33mbps where I am.. does that mean people can get up to 132 mbps on their razrs?
What are you using to do the testing?
I have gotten 30 before also
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I would guess that it could be the radios. I have great luck with the mr4 radios.
its a combination of radios and kernal. try the newer 605.9 radios and the latest kernels from imo.... then test again.
I always use imoseyon kernels and have tried the mr4 and .9 radios. My usual speed is 2 to 6 mpbs. Occasionally I'll get one test to pass 10 but it's rare.

Try going to speakeasy.net in your browser with Flash enabled, I've had mixed results with the Speedtest app.
I've noticed this as well. When I first got my Thunderbolt I was getting 15-30Mbps download, and incredible upload speeds. Even when Speedtest had their app updated, I was still getting the same upload speeds. Now, I get anywhere from 3-13Mbps download (usually between 3-7 though). My friend has the Nexus and when side by side, mine gets around 7-10 and his got 20-35. There have been plenty of times even though I have a decent 4G signal, anything I do such as web browsing, market downloads, etc., is extremely slow.
I've gotten up to around 30Mbps when I was in Orlando and Pittsburgh.

[Q] Network upgraded to 4G but I only get H

hey there I/'m living in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
LIME the network provider upgraded from EDGE to 4g on Friday, but I realise since then my phone is only showing H (3G) and not H+(4G).
i am wondering if this has anything to do with the rom i'm currently running (trickdroid) or not?
I was in the city centre friday night where they had the launch and pretty close to the cell tower so I know distance isn't the issue
Thanks for the help in advance
Most roms don't display the +. Its purely cosmetic. Only roms I know that display it are based on the inspire 3.20 version.
Again its purely cosmetic and does not effect speed. Heck the phone is only capable of 14mbs Max. I would say 3.5 g Max
Thanks for the response I was just wondering. Makes sense with what you are saying. And I just realise something I tried another Rom, it wasn't even loading so had to restor this on and realised that while booting up it went from E to 3G to H. But I don't think I'm getting even 2 mb from this will take a screen shot and post to you.thx again for the response.

Depending on what ROM you're using, I've found Speedtest to be somewhat unreliable for whatever reason. For example, I'm running Sabsa Prime 7.0. When I do a test on wifi, I get 15+mbps down and around 4mbps up with 30 ping. When I run it on 4g, I get 7kbps down and 2mbps up with 150 ping. Obviously my actual 4g speeds are not 7kbps. On ARHD with the same radio the test showed 6-8mbps down and 3.5mbps up with 70 ping.
In summary, unless you feel that your real use speed is really that slow, forget what Speedtest says.
Ok cool got you.
But I can tell it's really slow as well. I will try one of those other rims cause this one iy takes a while to switch to programs etc. And I don't have a lot running in the background. The only thing I've realise though is that I've not yet learned how to bring over my settings ( WiFi and apn etc even my contacts ) when going from one Rom.to the the next.

Actually...
If you edit your build.prop, faster speeds can be obtained.
Also H+ is 4G, but its not like LTE speeds or anywhere close. It is more like a couple mbs above 3G.
Speedtest is fine. Your data icon will sometimes lie to you. No joke. It'll say H+, but in reality it is 3G. All depends on your signal strength.
- hit my thanks button if i helped you -
Thanks, how do I edit my build?
I am not sure what's going on it is.very slow and I am wondering if the Rom is the problem wondering if I should go back to the original 4g Rom that came with the phone

You'll need an app like "Root Explorer". Through the app you navigate to "/system" and long press the "build.prop" and edit. You may encounter an error message with something like "file is in read-only" which then you will have to change the settings to "write only" or something like that to edit which can be done in the explorer app. Once you get that far you can edit the build.prop to your liking. For settings that people have found useful search the forums.

If you're syncing to Google, your wifi passwords, contacts, even wallpaper will automatically restore when logging back into Google after switching ROMs.
Thanks I realise the apps came back bit not sure the WiFi passwords did. I'm really trying to find a Rom for Inspire 4g that
