There might not be many of us out there, but for those of us using unlocked and rooted mytouch on the ATT network I've found after some research a way to almost double my Edge speed. This information has been posted before in various pieces on various sites but not directly related to ATT/Edge only. Ive tested this on cyanogen 5.0.8 built will include instructions here that you can give this a shot depending on your rom. Prior to this tweak I ran three download tests, 63/38 84/41 81/41. After, I got 191/102, 133/114, 123/95.
Note that it seems that for me the speed increase takes about 10 seconds to kick in from sleep once the data connection is active.
Under the system directory, look for three files. Open each file and find a section called #GPRS class or #RIL settings. When you find the file containing this, this is the file to edit. Below I'm using system.prop. Also, when editing, do not use notepad or wordpad, I personally use EditPad Lite.
using the android sdk, and connecting your phone to pc ->
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
open build.prop with a unix compatible text editor
Change the following sections below:
# Default network type.
# 0 => WCDMA preferred.
ro.telephony.default_network=1
# RIL settings
ro.ril.gprsclass=32
ro.ril.hsxpa=0
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
eliminate all other lines that start with ro.ril if they exist.
then go back to your command prompt, and type
adb remount
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
reboot phone twice after this.
The idea here is that these lines will force only searching for Edge networks, and improve the full use of multislot data/voice thoroughput on ATT Edge network. I would think technically that this would also maximize data thoroughput for those that want to save battery life from the sucking power of 3G.
I'm posting this because I'd like some feedback from ATT people that can try this. As I'm in metro Atlanta I'm not sure that these settings work for every area, and I've only tested in two spots here within a mile of each other in the three tests. I'm also at this point concerned about battery life outside of my one day testing and other areas.
I'll try this on two different G1's running on AT&T this next week and report back. Thanks
Update 8/31/10: Testing with Super D I see a difference. Was 0.07 mbps Down/ 0.08 mbps up. Now 0.18 mbps Down/ 0.16 mbps Up. Every little bit helps I guess. Thanks for posting this thread.
Which ROM are you using this on? I'll try this out on my phone at the end of the week. Also where did you find this exact same set up. I want to read more about it. I see other posts with different values but not with this same exact set up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5123531&postcount=46
As I mentioned I'm using Cyanogen 5.0.8. I didn't read where anyone is using this exact setup, I researched the values and put them together based on my best understanding of them.
As of now I'm seeing battery life unaffected to actually improved. Things like facebook and my MLB At Bat are majorly improved, takes much less time for the stats to populate so I'm spending less time in the apps and in turn I'm assuming that lends to battery life. I also used to drop a call in one particular spot and I'm not dropping that call so far. I've been in various parts of the city and the download speed is fairly consistent witht he 130-180k range.
Any word on this working with CM6? There only seems to be these in the RIL section:
ro.ril.hsxpa=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
Should the other two values be added?

As far as what should be added/removed, please more carefully read post one.
In answer to whether it works with CM6, these values directly support the gprs code of the phone so it should in theory work on any android based device.
I appreciate the time you've spent, thanks. I'm trying this asap. I have to test before and after, tho. I'll let you know. I never even considered looking into this, and what I see looks very promising. Thanks for the work.
BEFORE
Test 1: ping- i forgot to look
download- 79
upload-109
Test 2: ping-772
download- 90
upload-79
Test 3: break in between 2&3, for fun. it was asleep for a while.

download 28
upload 116
Test 6, after a break with screen off/sleeping and a 30 second break with screen on before test
ping 430
download 26
upload 105
In conclusion, no it didn't make any benefit to me. In fact, there was a decrease in speed after applying the mods.
I used a nightly of cyanogenmod 6 from 2 days ago (right before rc3)
I will try donut soon. Eclair sucks. Note that cyanogenmod did not have the last two ro.ril lines, but it did have the telephony one. I added the necessary ones, of course.
i updated my post above.
Hi Jcarrz, thanks for the post. I think something is wrong with your location/configuration if you are getting 100% upload speed over download. It should be the reverse, but even before my config change I was getting double your download speed. Also, a ping time of <100 ms into an edge network is a bit unheard of as far as I know, what speedtest are you using? Did you delete the existing lines? the two most important lines to add are the dtm=1 lines and the grprsclass=32.
One thing about this is that not every city may support class 32 download. Also it may take some time for GPRS to establish 5 timeslots to get the full download speed. Another thing to follow up on my post, as I mentioned 10 seconds or so at least before starting the speedtest, but I've found that even 1-2 minutes after coming from sleep I'm occasionally getting 215k down in some places. But in your case there's definately something else going on....

yea, that ping was pretty crazy. I live really close to los angeles, I don't think a crappy network is the problem. What do you mean by delete existing? i edited two that were there, and added two that weren't. I am using the ookla labs speedtest.net application. I have always had a higher upload than download. Everywhere. I waited for long periods of time between tests. And after waking up from sleep. The highest speed test I have seen is a 250, on htcclay's superfast 1.3.3. I'll have to take a look on the values in that rom.
Thanks for your help, prehaps you could upload the EXACT build.prop for, say, a cm6 build that I could use?
Jcarrz1
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.telephony.default_network = 0
I seem to get the best speeds i've seen with this config. Namely the hsxpa=2, because that one, when changed to 1 or 0, dents my speeds.

Thanks for reporting back. I think this shows that indeed the edge network in your location just isn't a class 32, or at least it is and is allocating more timelosts for upload than download. Here's how the classes should in theory work. Edge can alot 2-6 timeslots to transfer data. a class 10 or 12 is 5 slots data, 10 says that in theory up to 4 of those slots could be download and 2 could be upload, while 12 is up to 4 down 4 up (but only 5 max in any config). A class 32 can allocate 6 slots data, 32 also says that 5 could be download or 5 could be upload. Try setting the class at 30. This will give you a shot at 6 slots guarantee that no more than one timeslot can be set for upload (5 download 1 upload). If that doesn't work, in theory actually then moving to a class 10 setting may overall benefit you (4 download 2 upload).
hsxpa setting should technically do nothing for you on AT&T unless your phone supports HSPDA 850/1900, I set it on my magic 32B because it forces UTMS99 which is not implemented and therefore should in theory guarantee my radio never finds something to scan. I understand that turning on 2G only doesn't work in all roms, so I set that just in case.
Just so you know, the values in gprsclass can be 10,12,30,31,32,33,34.
I don´t think that ro.ril.hsxpa=0 deactivates 3G. AFAIK it just limits the phone to plain normal 3G (=UMTS) and ensures that it does not attempt to switch to 3.5G (HSDPA/HSUPA) connections.
From what I see in wikipedia, UMTS99 is nothing else than the first release of UMTS, therefore definately being supported.
Better set it to =2, just in case you travel to a country where you have 3G (and 3.5G, etc.) connectivity.

EDIT: Sorry I just looked up the specs on the phones again and I never noticed UMTS support, still in essense you still want to keep this at hsxpa=0, unless you want 3G on roaming coverage as mentioned. This article is about ATT users and more geared to only ATT bands, ATT does not offer HSDPA over the bands this phone supports so disabling it should keep it from scanning roaming networks for it. I'm removing the other ril values from the phone to keep the phone happy with the fastest edge connection it can get.
So I just tried updating the settings on Superfly TCBY Froyo 1.2. It didn't have the same exact setting lines so I just added the lines manually. All tests done on a fresh reboot, SpeedTest the only app open:
Before
Time of day: 1:10 PM
Run 1
Server: Los Angeles, CA
Latency: 829 ms
Download: 10.3 kB/s
Upload: 9.3 kB/s
Run 2
Server: Los Angeles, CA
Latency: 121 ms
Download: 14.7 kB/s
Upload: 12.1 kB/s
After (2 reboots):
Time: 1:25 PM
Run 1
Server: Los Angeles, CA
Latency: 423 ms
Download: 19.9 kB/s
Upload: 13.7 kB/s
Run 2
Server: Los Angeles, CA
Latency: 394 ms
Download: 18.3 kB/s
Upload: 14.6 kB/s
So it did improve speeds a little. How much is due to the settings is unsure. It could be related to the time of day and traffic during the time of day. I will keep the settings and see how they hold up.
I have been using the normal settings without modifications for Google Nav and it works perfectly fine. I will see how these settings hold. I'll attach my build.prop. Just remove the ".txt"
dawgpound, can you report what city you are in. I do agree that time of day and tower can play into this, this is why my before and after tests were done about 2-3 miles apart from each other. They were also done during daytime hours.
To update on my end, I'm still testing in various areas of atlanta and I'm finding that I actually connect "G" in some areas. I'm assuming UMTS99 since the phone only supports this. The download speeds were terrible, worse than edge for me though. I know this implementation is older and probably not omptimized.
Using Speedtest I'm still not getting any worse than 40k download anywhere in metro atlanta. But, one thing I've found is that in some cases I would get a upload speed greater than download, running Speedtest again even immediately after would produce much higher downlad and upload speeds and maintain these. I think this goes back to my theory that when you initiate the data transfer that it takes a while for the phone to build all the timeslots to the carrier when you enable them in some situations.
Sorry for responding so late. I'm doing the tests in LA. I went to Universal Studios the other day with the modified settings and my phone failed badly when using data. I was getting full signal on my phone with the EDGE sign but it wasn't sending or receiving data most of the day.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to switch back and forth to see if it was just in the theme park or not. I've noticed in crowded areas, it lags pretty bad compared to the stock settings. I also was connecting to G speeds in some areas but only for a few seconds before switching back to EDGE. Right now, I'm back on stock settings to compare. I will say though, with the modified settings, download speeds increased by average 5 kB/s but upload speed was on avg 5 kB/s less than dl speeds. Stock settings, both download and upload speeds are close to each other.
I've noticed lately that my ping at home is significantly worse than it is at work. If I ping google from work, I get 90-110ms latency. If I ping that night from home, I will usually get double that, in the 200-220ms range. This is all on LTE, using terminal emulator to ping google (dns resolved).
What I can't seem to figure out in my own testing is whether it is the time of day or something about the tower that I am using that causes the difference. It seems that on the weekend most of the time I get the poorer ping (~200ms) , but if ping is worsened by heavy load on the network, then it is not a very good test because load should be higher on the weekend (assuming here).
So, does anyone have similar exprience? Are there any tips or tricks for lowering ping ?
i've had it be weird also... and often times in the same location. i'll be at home and try, it'll be around 80 - 90.. then like 5 minutes later i'll try again and it'll be 200... and will just go back & forth even though signal strength remains the same.
possibly due to traffic.
A) Your pinging essentially a "wireless" router.
B) "Ping" is typically set to use the lowest priority if not disabled altogether on most networks.
Also dual-core brings a humongous improvement in latency. Try Bionic at the store next to the Bolt.
I just wrote a long post detailing my problem and lost it all the instant I hit the 'submit' button because the forum timed out. AHHH. I'm sure some of you have been there and know the feeling!
Anyway, I just came across the revelation today that there is something seriously wrong with the download speed of my Infinity tablet. For as long as I can remember, I have had trouble watching Youtube videos. Occasionally, they would play fine. But more often than not, the streams would constantly pause every couple of seconds to buffer -- making the videos unwatchable. This behavior was the same on all the channels I visited. I don't watch Youtube videos that often, but it has finally irritated me enough to investigate it.
According to my tablet's wifi settings, my link speed is 39Mbps from my usual location. I brought the tablet to the same room as the router (an Asus RT-16) and the link speed increased to 65Mbps, but this did not solve the constant buffering problem. I then performed a factory reset and left my tablet clean, only downloading updates for the stock apps including Youtube. Unfortunately, the problem remained.
Now this is where things get interesting. I have a 12Mbps internet connection. I went to speedtest.net on my desktop PC and it reported 11.54Mbps down and 1.48Mbps up. Quite reasonable. Then I downloaded the Speedtest app onto my Infinity. Even with a 65Mbps link speed, I could not achieve more than 2.02Mbps down and 1.57Mbps up on the same server I tested my desktop. I then tried other nearby servers, and all them were between 1.65Mbps and 2.0Mbps down. 2.02Mbps was the fastest download speed I could achieve.
For a comparison, I then ran Speedtest on my Galaxy Nexus phone. It achieved 9.33Mbps down and 1.61Mbps up.
Any ideas why my Infinity can only reach a download speed of 2.02Mbps, even with a 65Mbps link speed?

I just downloaded the app Speedtest.net and ran a test. The results are 15526kbps download and 2806kbps upload. I used to have that problem with the stock rom. Currently, I am using custom rom and some tweaks with the tablet's network. It does not have the buffering problem any more. So far, I have no problem with streaming movies or youtube unless three or more devices sharing the same network in my house. My current settings on my tablet are Cromi X V4.6.6 and Hundsbuah V3.0.6 OC CPU at 1.8G all cores, UV about 35mV, and GPU at 700M. To answer your question, there are a lot of things could affect the network. These are a few major problems: the buffersize setting, low RAM memory, slow I/O, and other poor factory setting came with the TF700T. There are a lot of good information scattering everywhere on this website. With some research, you can fine tune your device. Good luck.

Thanks for the detailed response LMK. To make things more confusing, I just re-ran the speedtest about 5 hours after the first series of tests and the download speed is now 9.81Mbps down and 1.64Mbps up. So this is an intermittent issue which explains why I can sometimes watch Youtube videos without issue. I have been sorely tempted to unlock my device, but I have a stuck pixel and I was worried other hardware issues might creep up during the warranty period.

I unlocked my device after a few day of purchase. I never attempt to tweak with stock rom. Therefore, I don't know if I can help you further. There are a lot of experts on this site. They will give you some good advises on this topic. If you some how can access to build.prop and init.d, those area where I tweaked my network. Maybe, you can access those files with rooted. You probably can find some answer with searching on this site.
Could be RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Look around your house for wireless devices in the same freq range as your wifi router. Usually 2.4ghz. Cordless phones, baby room monitors, wireless speakers and sometimes microwave ovens. If you have any of these types of devices unplug them all then run your speed tests again several time to the same site. I get good speeds on mine using the speedtest app. Usually 19-21 mb on a U-Verse 24mb connection. But I had problems when I installed a rear wireless speaker adapter from Radio Shack for my surround sound system. It knocked me down to 3-4 mb. I beat my brains out (the few I have) for days until I unplugged ALL wireless devices (not PCs) and then one at a time plugged them back up running speedtests at the addition of each device. Then I discovered the RS wireless adapter was the culpret. Lucky for me it has a switch for three different channels. Changing the channel on it cured my problem. Placing my router on wireless channel 4 helped even more. Neighbors on either side of me are on ch 11. I also suspect the RS device was just about there too.
Just a passing thought. I hope you get your problem solved.
BTW My TF700 is completely stock.

Perplexing.
I have this bufferng situation also, if that's what is the culprit.
Solved my up/dn problem by removing my access point
I am 65mbps 13-24 mbps but can not stream YouTube etc. Plays a bt then the hourglass.
I think wi-fi interference would hurt the 65mbps connection speed not the upload/download speed.
I have a linksys router and the special Linksys modem built for Comcast system.
I can only look at system or apps conflict as the culprit but damn if I can find it.
I have been CROMi since Scot's incarnation.
Any Help is Welcome, thanx
Strange. On my stock TF700, with a good 65Mbps connection, with Speedtest I see 19Mbps down and 5Mbps or so up, about the same as my Nexus 7 and laptop. Are you using the same test server for all of your tests?
Ever since updating my phone to Nought we're getting speed readings of 4-7 meters per second (which translate to speeds of around 22-25km/h) when before the update we used to get normal, realistic speeds.
Comparing with other GPS test apps out there, they are showing same result so it's not necessarily an implementations issue. Looking at running apps like runkeeper, mapmyrun, endomondo and such - they are giving correct pace calculation.
As of now I can't seem to pin point the source of the problem - GPS apps are showing high readings like my own app but running apps seem to overcome this issue.
Did anyone encounter such a phenomena, when upgrading to android N? My phone is Galaxy S6, upgraded from android M (Where it worked fine) to N where it started reading much higher values
I have the same problem on my S6 when I upgraded to N. I have a t-mobile S6.
I'll be hiking at 4 mph but GPS Status and my hiking app (Oruxmaps) will showing current speed as like 11-12 mph. Yet, my average speed in the app and the speed in my track statistics when i stop recording comes out ok.
I don't know what the heck is going on.
I have a Samsung galaxy a70, my WiFi speed is pretty fast but it keeps loading games forever (unless I use mobile data or VPN). Although I still have yet to try another wifi network. But anyway, I play only two games, honkai impact 3rd and mobile Legends. Honkai impact 3rd just keeps showing me the loading icon for long after which it dissappears and comes again after like 2 seconds, and if I try online in the game, it doesn't let me join at all. As for Mobile Legends (it's a MOBA) the loading screen takes sooo long (it shows everyone's loading percentage) and I'm always the last one to load, the inside of the game is so smooth, my ping is usually 8ms. Even when I'm browsing Instagram, videos and comments will load as if my WiFi speed is 1kb/s. This doesn't affect any browser tho. Didn't try with Facebook. This only happens on my phone in the whole house.
Forgot to add: This randomly starts happening and goes away after pretty long
Maybe cause the server you're trying to connect is far away? idk i don't know about games that much.

Wireless networks use two main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) and 5 GHz. These frequency bands affect how far and how fast data can travel over WiFi. The 2.4 GHz band gives you slower speeds at a longer range, while the 5 GHz band gives you faster speeds at a shorter range.
So, if you want the fastest WiFi speeds, you should always use the 5 GHz band. However, the more devices you have on one band, the slower your WiFi will be.
Wifi connection has nothing to do with loading screen .. what is your performance rating on Mobile Legends?
With regards to a Wi-Fi connection many aspects come into play, such as bandwidth, Internet speed and latency, among others.
When the mentioned games get launched they at 1st thing of all things fetch data / resources from Internet what will take some time which depends on the 3 above mentioned criteria. The progress typically gets shown on game's loading screen.
Same is the case when you from within the games try to establish a further Internet connection.
BTW: An Internet speed of 1KB/s indeed is really inacceptable. Normally the Internet speed is in the range of 700-800 KB/s.
goto Setting then Network Test then Performance Test and let Mobile Legends rate your device also fast loading screen have disadvantage you will never have time seeing enemy team hero selections and decide what equipment to buy to counter them ...
here's mine MediaTek Heli P20 rating on Mobile Legends not that fast but it's decent
It's not only on games, Instagram does not load videos at all, and my WiFi download speed is 5 mbps so I'm pretty sure it's not my WiFi at fault. As for mobile Legends, now that it added the data optimization thing at the start of the game, the loading speed is back to normal now. But honkai impact 3rd and Instagram remains the same, ESPECIALLY Instagram.
