Android newbie with a tip;
install sgs toolbox; then go to secret codes then go to "switch 3g --- hspa" then tap "change hspa revision" then tap "release 5(hdspa only) and tadada improved speed. Alt, code *#301279# and follow steps.. original settings for all phones are release 6 (both hspa and hdspa) .
Rev6 allows for HSDPA and HSUPA for high speed down and up, Rev5 allows only HDSPA for downlink.
Rev6 theoretically is the fastest option allowing both fast upload and download
do you require root for this? i tried this and doesn't change anything.
I think this is useless if you have an umts contract @yourprovider

You can deactivate hspa to only 3g to have better battery life

i am running cm7 nightly 44 on my DX and ive installed the v6 surpercharger with awesome results, when i tried out the 3g turbocharger, and kernel tweaks, i reboot like SM says and when i do, i get no data no cell signal wifi wont work, and airplane mode wont toggle. ive tried a few times with the same results. Ive searched and found nothing specific to my setup either. what am i doing wrong? any help would be appreciated! thanks!
You probably have 2.3.4 and its made for 2.3.3.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Actually I'm on 2.3.5 so that explains it too
It's weird... on the same phone wifi will be fine with stock but not okay with a custom rom.
Android version doesn't matter.
But I made a change to 3g TurboCharger that needs testing...
Edits to build.prop...
Code:
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.gprsclass=34
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.a52=0
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=268449905
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2
ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1
ro.ril.enable.sdr=1
ro.ril.enable.gea3=1
ro.ril.enable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
Difference between this and update 2:
ro.ril.gprsclass=34 (instead of 12)
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=268449905 (instead of 14449)
I've actually seen gprsclass=32 in the past but 12 is the most common setting so I had used 12.
After researching today, seems that 32 would indeed be better than 12 BUT there is a new gprs class 34 so this would be a first for testing it at 34! (as far as I know) lol
So, I'd be interested in seeing if this is better than the 3G TurboCharger update 2 tweak
Ill try the update ill let you know. Thanks.
Or how would I implement that? Editing the build.prop?
yes.. if you have update 2 applied it only involved changing 2 entries
I applied both tweaks and edited the build.prop with the new values you suggested and with 34 I got no 3g no cell signal airplane wouldn't toggle and error when turning on wifi. I then tried 32 and no 3g no cell signal and error for wifi but airplane would toggle then.
ok.. 34 is out of the equation...
At 32 its the same as before
Well I wonder what's not working then I apply the kernal tweaks first then 3g Turbo then reboot. All with script manager
Does the baseband matter?
Does the 3g turbocharge work on all android devices or strictly the DX? I want to do this on my Evo 4g, but the process seems a bit over my head.
Is the increased 3g speed attributed to ONLY the changed values in the build.prob? If so, can this be done manually by editing build.prop with a text editor, to achieve the same results?

Added - Another configuration. Some people reported great results with yesterday's version (removes limits?) so added a "nulled" configuration.
what does 98KickAssKernelTweaks do?
First and foremost thanks to wildstang for the how to for this mod. His original thread can be found here. He told me a long time ago I should do this on the Eris and I kept putting it off lol. I've made mods up for a handful of ROM's so far and will do more as I have the time or on a per request basis.
For starters here is a little about this mod:
1. What does this do?
This modifies the services.jar file located in system/framework, that allows you to have an un-throttled data access. You don't have to worry about modifying anything yourself.
2. Will this make my Data faster?
In some cases, YES. This has NO effect on actual phone signal. This only takes the throttle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on.
3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?
Sort-of. This will cause Force Closes when you try to select Mobile Network in Settings. Thats the only thing you should notice. You can still kill Data with a widget or any other sort-of alternative way you want to. This should not physically harm your phone though.
4. Will this work on any ROM?
Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY HTC Droid Eris ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, ask your dev. In any case you may send me your services.jar and I will look at it for you.
Recommended Install procedures:
1. Place Rom on my SD Card along with DTR.
2. Reboot into Recovery.
3. Wipe everything that is supposed to be wiped.
4. Flash Rom.
5. REBOOT THE PHONE.
6. Skip setup and go straight to settings.
This part is important!!!
7. Go into Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile Networks.
8. I set my data to always connected and data roaming on. Set yours to your preferences now.... keep in mind once you flash the DTR you will not be able to access this menu! Thats why its important to do it now!
9. Reboot into Recovery.
10. Flash the DTR and reboot the phone.
The key is to do all of this as quickly as possible. The reason why is because as soon as you boot your phone, your phone will start syncing. Its syncing your contacts and other stuff as well. Some of that other stuff also includes where you are on your usage of your data plan. If it detects that you are over limit it will then activate the throttle process. A little more on this. This DTR does not actually REMOVE the throttle per say. It simply removes the files that the phone system uses to BUILD the throttle. Without the needed throttle files the phone won't be able to set up the throttle which in turn means you will be running at full network data speed. Now do you see why this is important to do this quickly?

so just to be clear, if I never approach my data limit and therefore do not my get data connection throttled by Verizon, this patch will not do anything to benefit my general 3g data speed, correct?

I get a much better performance in my 3g speeds with this mod on my incredible. The ones that tested for me on the Eris said the same. Web pages loaded faster for them and streaming media was much better as well.

This and zepp's 3g turbocharger
Do I need to stop turbocharger before I flash this? and is this any different than the turbocharger? I did not see much of a difference on the turbocharger, and should I clear cache before I flash?

No you don't and no they aren't. Turbocharger for the most part is build prop tweaks to boost the data connection. This is a modification of the smali files within services.jar to remove the android internal data throttle.

I am using your rom, so no worries lol. and when you said that it will break the mobile data. does it mean that if I turn off mobile data on a widget, I can't turn it off or does it mean I just can't get to the settings and do it there?

why are some apps in spanish? is it just my phone or did I accidentally clicked something? like when I click voice search it is in spanish. weird eh?
seems like it is only google voice search.
It did make a difference, but you said that we can't access the menu of the mobile network. I went and clicked in there and I did not see a crash. is it that I can't change anything?

Supra kinda got put on hold for a little bit but I'm getting ready to start working on it again this weekend. Cm is running real smooth but has a bt issue I'm trying to straighten out. It's been a bug in the cm build for a couple of months now though. My personal favorite of my 3 roms for dinc is 666. It's based on the gb update and is every bit as smooth and fast as cm imo. Look forward to seeing you over there. You'll love the phone. It's sweet

I have a rom for my incredible 2 that allows you to choose which you want, either evdo or cdma or both. Is there a rom available for the fascinate that has this option built in?
Is there any application to monitor the real-time network traffic? I have tried many applications like internet speed meter, float network monitor or some other network monitoring apps. But they all showing current upload/download speed and daily/monthly data usage. What I am looking for is since my internet bandwidth speed is limited and slow, I would like to know what applications is now downloading/uploading with the speed of ??KB/sec so that I can see it and close it down them running in background.
Thanks in advance.
I guess the title of the topic is kind of confusing. You can ask something like, data usage per app monitor or that type.

Not exactly what you want but you may try this:
open Settings > Data usage. Here you can see a list of apps and their corresponding data usage.
You can also tap on each app and select "Restrict background data" to prevent it access to the Internet using mobile data connection.

Thanks for all ur answer. May be u all got me wrong. Let me explain a bit more.
Let's say if my internet speed is max at 64KB/sec. If I want to download the file with max speed or want to load youtube video with full speed, I dont want to let other applications running in background and taking certain porting of my network traffic and making everything jammed. If I can have such applications (DU meter, net meter)in windows, I can see what is currently running such as ( windows update, antivirus update), then i can stop them and let my desired application run at max speed. Even though my device is multitasking, i cant do multitasking in network due to network speed limitation.
I hope you all can understand my problem.
I don't think there is an app that limits its allocated bandwidth. I know it's not the same but, WifiKill is useful if you are dealing with other people using the wifi, but other than that I don't think an app that controls the bandwidth on a per-app basis exists.
I wish developers can do that in future.☺
Ok people, after scrolling from forum to forum looking for a way to edit my build.prop for better data performance I've come to a couple of conclusions........The main one is that the majority of people end up bricking their phones. Either from being noobs or even a developer simply forgetting to change permissions. The other is that pretty much ALL of the lines people say to edit or even add just simply do not work. I'm posting a method I found in a forum,I can't remember which one but it's the one I use and have found to be the most helpful in getting a better signal.
You must be rooted!!!
First download an app from the play store called #SHORTCUT MASTER#
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
This app let's you access the G3's hidden hidden menu. You can scroll into numerous hidden folders and files. Some I wouldn't mess with!!! Open the app and go to the settings within the app. Click on "Secret Code Explorer". Scroll down until you see this folder below..........
""""33233323 com.lge.hiddenmenu .ErrFatalErrFatalBroadcastReciever""""" CLICK ON THIS!!!!
Scroll down until you pass a couple "Rat_Selection" folders. I believe you want the third but incase I have placed some screenshots below to help out. Rat_Selection let's you instantly switch from 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE depending on your coverage area. Not sure about which coverage area you are in? Here's another useful app that allows you to check ALL CARRIERS COVERAGE AND ALL NETWORK SPEEDS to help you get some Info about what speed you should switch to if any.
Download "Open Signal" from the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.staircase3.opensignal
Again check the screenshots if you don't believe me. This app is extremely useful!!! Ok so go ahead and finaggle with these two apps and see if it helps any of you and post some feedback. Good or Bad. Last but not least if you just want to edit your build.prop for whatever reasons here are a few lines I have added to mine just to see if they would help and as of right now I'm not sure if they helped but adding these lines did not brick my phone. Changed permissions rebooted and everything seems fine. As I said I'm not sure if they work but obviously doesn't hurt anything. As of now
ro.ril.gprsclass=34 ---- gprs (edge) speed settings
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28 ---- HSPA+ Download speed settings by category. Cat 28 is the highest
ro.ril.hsupa.category=7 ---- HSPA+ Upload speed settings by category. Cat 9 is highest, 7 seems to work just fine tho
ro.ril.hsxpa=5 ---- setting to enable hspa+ for the upload and download
#Better signal.
persist.cust.tel.eons=1
PS........
I know I said that changing or adding certain lines don't seem to work but I think "hypothetically" that if you switch to say,3G that maybe adding these lines could help with the DN and UP SPEEDS?? Not sure but just saying
FYI I'm not taking credit for anything just sharing what I've learned. These are not my own edits but found on different forums. If this is a repeat post just go ahead and delete. If this helps anyone please hit the thanks button, if not then please feel free to leave constructive criticism or just plain out bash me......
