Better 4G Speeds?

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

Lol this should be in general... And inspire? This is the infuse forums

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.

Just sayin...

Point taken.

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....

T-Mobile Towers App

Does anyone has the old version of the T-Mobile Towers app?
The old app displayed a Google map of all the locations of T-Mobile's towers. But the last update just gives a registration screen and nothing else. I'm sorry I updated and didn't have a backup.
If someone could please post the old .apk file, I'd be grateful! Thanks!

Because the previous version of the app gave me the same functionality but I didn't have to register to receive spam.

You might want to give OpenSignalMaps a try if you don't like tmobile's newest version.

I wonder if the old version isn't pulling from the most recent database. I wonder because several new towers have gone online in the last few months that aren't shown in this app.

Makes no sense to maintain two databases. I'd bet their database is out of date.
You can search the app's database here:

Hmm, it shows the same thing... if that database were right, I'd have almost no signal in several places I have GREAT signal... I wonder if maybe it only shows T-Mobile owned towers and not towers that have been leased from other companies?

There is a tower right behind my school and still no service in there. I live 1 minute away walking from school and I get full bars at home. Do they have emp's in school?

2 issues to consider ... First that tower may not have t-mobile service on it. The second is, apparently if you're at ground level below a tower you supposedly don't get good signal because it transmits outwardly not straight down... I don't know if that's true but it's a line we gave customers when I worked at T-Mobile LOL...

It's true. It doesn't transmit straight down for safety reasons - you don't want people in the immediate vicinity getting slammed with full-power RF. Might get everyone sterile.

All antennas are directed at a slight angle going otherwise they would be going straight out which would give a lot more customers near the tower no signal, or point it further down which would drop the overall coverage of the tower.
Also noted not all towers have a high speed backbone even if the antenna might be 4G compatible. A lot of small towns don't have affordable fiber yet so they are running off of old t1's still

[ROM][MIUI] Speedy - Development on Hold

Hey glad to see you back man .

I'll try it out later tonight since i'm already using Miui and see if MMS is working. One question though, does it have Sparksco script in it?

Yes sir! Its always great to have you back around. Ill play with miui more when I get off work tonight

I was and have always been under the impression that MIUI didn't require GApps..? The ability to log into a Google account is built-in, and the ROM comes with Gmail.
I have noticed that Jeff stopped updating the ROM on MIUI.us. I can continue updating the ROM there if needed, but I'd rather have someone else take it over since I have recently left Sprint and their crappy data speeds.

No need! I have not stopped, just waiting for a stable ICS build to port instead. There have been minor changes that don't really effect us, so I haven't been porting weekly.

So I'm going to apologize for the stupid question ahead of time, I promise I'm usually not this slow on Mondays. But quick question.. I have a 3G symbol (I think I understand the meaning of that), a signal bar with a E, and a signal bar with a 1X.....
What are all the signal bars for?

1x is not 3g..what you get when 3g is not available..like sending msgs and phone calls..
if im not wrong...e represents edge and h is hspda

It is that way because China made a lot of changes go the cdma code. Everything works besides how the signal is shown

edit - from: http://miuiandroid.com/2012/01/miui-rom-no-release-this-week/
Hi everyone,
Should of probably mentioned this earlier in the week but i’ve been exceptionally busy with work.
Due to the new year in China there will be no development ROM this week for MIUI. Normal development will resume in the coming days following from the weekend.
Please dont spam the comments with ‘Please port my phone’ type questions or otherwise. They will be deleted.
We hope everyone has a great weekend and we’ll be back in next week with a nice new update and hopefully some more exciting news on ICS and other developments we’ve been aware of by Xiaomi.
Thanks,
Mark

[Q] How do I brand my phone?

I don't have a lot of time, so my search wasn't all that great. I have CM7.1 flashed on my Inspire, and my phone info says it's a DHD. I think that's the reason my data connection is messed up. Before my root, I had H+ connection, and now all I get is H, and it doesn't send/receive data a lot. And from my understanding, DHD doesn't have 4G/LTE. So how do I brand my phone? Thanks in advance

I don't have a lot of time so my answer won't be that good. Search for inspiremod. It will fix your model name and sound.

To help you, InspireMod is attached to the first post in the AOSPX thread in development.
Also, you might want to just keep it on your SDcard and flash it immediately after flashing any roms that have been ported.

And here I thought we were done with the whole H+ thing. Haven't seen this in ages. Its purely cosmetic doesn't mean anything. Hell I can make it say 6g +++ if I wanted to take the time and edit the icons.
And your right the dhd doesn't have lte and neither does the inspire. The whole 4g is just marketing. Its more like 3.5g Max on a good day. But that doesn't sound as good for selling phones. Personally I think only lte should be 4g, but even then that's a modification of the original qualification (lte advanced)

yes flashing it will make the about part of your phone read Inspire. But that is about it. Short of giving you the proper GPS and sound files
