In every rom I've always have slow data speeds.and I searched how to make them faster and it said edit the build prop.but courent find for mytouch 4g. What would be a good change in the build prop for data for edge 3g n 4g? Can use the one for amaze http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1489046.html

does the amaze 4g is from t mobile?
You could try it, BUT MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!. Report back with results
I'm running edited build.prop for data speeds from amaze build.prop. been running the mod for a while. It made a bit of a difference on my end. Not too crazy.
Yea, no big deal really. I've done it and not seen much difference

The only way it would make a difference is if the values in the file were lower than the actual data network or modem capabilities. None of the mytouch radios are set up that way. If you notice a difference its only a placebo effect from actually paying attention. Same thing happens when people try new radios and claim they have faster data speeds. That's just not the case. The only time I know that editing that file actually made a difference was when the atrix first came out and AT&T didn't have HSPA+ originally activated on it.

Not that I know of, but I'm no expert...
If you are rooted, try a different ROM or try to remove bloatware.
Cyanogenmod 7 never got great wireless data in comparison to the stock rom, but it's to be expected as cm7 is AOSP.
Are there any roms that would get similar wireless strength? Maybe a pure sense rom or something (I really like it) The only reason I haven't used one like royalginger is because i saw that it's based on cm7... so basic features would probably work just as well as cm7.
Would also be nice if GPS worked well on said rom. It works fine in stock but once again, cm7 has issues with it.
I find miui to be the best. Wifi works great and my data speeds on T-Mobile network are as expected...but to each his own.

Evil 4G-HD. Data is solid and GPS works great. Plus you get the pure SENSE experience.
Wanna give my aosp 1.0.6 a try... I specifically tweaked for network performance. I just want some feedback

Ok - my noobness is showing through here, but can someone lend me a hand in editing the build.prop? In evil's fusion thread, people are saying to edit it to achieve better signal/data, but I can't seem to find how to do it. I gather it needs to be done via a file explorer...I've located build.prop using File Expert, but am not sure how to proceed...
Managed to figure it out, never mind...let's hope I didn't do any damage!
Would love to know too
I have been looking all over the internet for a way to edit the build prop to boost internet speeds for the mytouch, i see it in other forums but i am not sure if it is the same. I would love to know what we are supposed to use for date speeds to boost them because my speeds are absolutely terrible.
The build.prop is located in system. You need to switch to r/w, long press the build.prop file and open in text editor.
The thing is that file manager doesn't have text editor. I use root explorer or you can copy the build.prop to a pc and edit with note pad and copy it back to system in your phone.
I too would like to know exactly what changing the build prop does supposedly and how to change it (what to modify) to maximize speed..

No problem. Changing the build.Prop will not affect the radio. Location, bandwidth, and baseband all affect dl. And ul speeds

So since the radio dictates all that, wat impact does changing the build prop really have? Obvious noob here...

New user here, I'd just like to say Hi. I'm usually on the Moto Droid forums. Just got my Nexus S 4g today and I LOVE it.
Rooted running CM7 Nightlies.
I just had a few questions
I understand this phone cant do 720p. Is there a hack that can?
Does RenderFX help battery life? if so, which setting?
What are some roms/kernels you suggest?
Also, ill be working on some Themes for the Nexus S, (I'm a theme designer).
I usually make themes that make the phone look like another phone (iPhone, x10, Atrix 4G)
I'd also like to thank XDA for providing such an active user-base.
Think of a theme and ill try to make it, Thanks
Best battery life rom I found was oxygen. I thought I was going crazy because the battery life was so good. Its great plus you can download voodoo and it has netarchy kernel. Plus its aosp more than stock. Miui is most beautiful theme rich rom but battery life sucks. Cm7 was OK for me just kind of buggy. So I stuck with oxygen. Oh and nope...no camera hacks yet. No HD video or zoom. Sorry.
Hope this helps

That's one thing I'm completely unsure of I know I've been in the middle of a call and all of a sudden it announces a turn ahead. Turn data off (settings then wireless and networks and then mobile data click off) and try to get a direction

I got mine on Friday! There will never be 720p video as its a hardware limitation. In order to fit the nfc chip, Google opted to use a smaller camera without an HD encoder.

For my TASTE, I like decks 1.3d since I had the least amount of issues with, none really. The kernel I have had the best luck with is Matr1x 6.0 cfs. I like the fact that it has voodoo if needed, bln and bld now. Since I updated to 6.0 I have had no lockups or reboots period. I don't change the speed or volting just the govenor (sp). They are smooth together. But for what its worth phones might not like the same thing as another.
I have tried just about every rom on xda for the ns4g.
Decks
Miui
Ice and fire
Stock rooted
Oyxgen
Kings
But I don't want to try cm7 as to battery life when I get well over 12hrs of use daily and no nightlys cause it seems like something is always broke. No offense to either or anyone, just what I prefer.

Maybe try again with a different kernel. I wipe cache once, factory reset once and write dalvik 3 times. Install decks 1.3D with matr1x 6.0.

I'm gonna try matrix but I'm kinda in a bind. I need stock nexus s 4g kernel. I flashed netarchy and backed it up then when I went to delete my miui backup I accidentally deleted my completely stock (besides super user) backup and now I have no stock kernel.

It looks complicated, so I'll find another one for you soon.
EDIT: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/70/what-is-radio-firmware
The radio firmware controls basic low-level functions like network connectivity, Wi-Fi, and GPS.
Usually upgrading your radio will not give you any new features but will fix connectivity issues, increase range or performance, decrease battery usage, or the like. Some ROM's require you to have the latest radio versions to work.
While a botched radio upgrade can brick your phone, the process is basically the same as upgrading your ROM. Just make sure not to unplug or power down your phone in the middle, make sure you trust the person who released the radio firmware, and try to read some comments or reviews.

Strike out WiFi and GPS. They have nothing to do with baseband, neither HW- nor SW-wise, and are controlled by drivers on application processor - in kernel/user space.
So if switch kernels there may be a better radio for me then works best with my current kernel

@invasion not quite what I was asking but glad you posted. My girls stock mt4g and had ota update that I haven,t, it has diff radio and she gets better signal. But I did learn New stuff thanks

Again:
Kernel governs WiFi/GPS/FM connectivity.
Baseband (radio) governs cellular network connectivity.
They're UNRELATED.
