I found this in the X10 threads..
It should work on the mini/pro but as I'm on a year vacation in Germany (and on a very low data plan) it's not much use to me.. I thought I should share it in case anyone on here is interested..

Hope it works

I don´t have the infinity plan, as any pre-paid plan is a waste of money, no matter what country you live in. Instead I have Liberty +50 (post-paid) and pay 29.90 for "unlimited" data plan (well, we all know they lower the speed after 4 GB);
This said, it won´t make any difference on data transfer rates. What makes difference is where you live, and how good is the 3,5G coverage.

well actually i have unlimited traffic with my prepaid plan (0,50 R$ all day long) and it's quite ok for me: 80% of my calls are made via sip so a postpaid would be a waste of money.
Anyway, of course that speed depends from coverage, that's why u should test in same place with the original and the modded build.prop to see if there is any difference; some guys in the original post had impressive improvements.....

Dear Kiwi..,
thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Ok, here are the details:
Test location: São Paulo, Brazil
Operator: TIM (3G - H)
Software used: speedtest.net for Android (available on the market)
Location (for those who know): Tatuapé
Server used for testing: Jundiaí
Upload/download with mod: 262kbps/1150 kbps
Upload/download without mod: 256 kbps/980 kbps
Verdict: no influence at all. At least for mini pro
Didn't work here; tested 3 times without mod and 3 times with mod.....nothing at all.
Anybody can actually confirm that this is working with mini?

Well, seems we were the first to test it, so so far we can confirm it doesn´t work. I tried to play with numbers, and nothing. This seems to be an old shtick, btw. It has been discussed way back in 2009 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595291 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595108
But... my phone is unbranded. I wonder if someone with branded phone has any of the ro.ril.XXX entries in their build.prop and if yes what are they? Can you guys check, please?
PS Rikirix. out of curiosity, were you TIM speeds comparable to mine?
thanks mate!
@vlissine: i had 270/450kbs..... here in Fortaleza 3g sucks! I've got much better values in Rio, more or less as yours.
BTW, my mini is unbranded and didn't get these ro.ril entries so i just added the code at the end of the build.prop file......but i was almost sure that wouldn't work....
Update I took out all lines leaving only these two:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
The upload speed went from 260 to 360
The download speed from 980 to 1150
Changing it to 12 took it back to 260/980
And of course it makes sense because X10 mini pro officially is a class 10 terminal, so any value above 10 was making no sense.

try inserting only these 2 lines
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
and reboot TWICE - I mean turning power on and off and not by using a soft reboot program. Also when you edit build.prop don´t forget that you leave permissions the way there were.
Let me know how it goes.
No effect here in Indonesia.. Guess it's XL network just plain 'slow' @ 384kbps..

Try changing ro.ril.hsxpa=2 to ro.ril.hsxpa=1 (as it is network dependant parameter). Also don´t forget to reboot twice.

Thanks for the input vlissine, but i found no differences after 2 times the reboot and hsxpa changed.. :-/ Guess it's already on the XL's speed quota.. But i find the latency dropped though.. so nice having this mod in mine.
EDIT: haha silly me, it is deliberately limited by XL to 384kbps.. Damn.. But again, if the bandwidth is not limited, then i guess the whole network in Indonesia will be a drag to use.. :-/

This thread is for the talk about Android phones on the Cricket wireless Android plan. I have started this thread out of respect of "token419" to keep his thread Clean for his support and development.
If you signup or change your plan to Crickets Android plan you no longer need a WAP proxy. MMS well also work with only the need to setup your APNs. Your internet well be much faster in most cases 2x as fast.
It although can be a large pain in the A** to get cricket to make the appropriate changes to your account. There are people around the internet that can and well make account changes for a small fee. It can be done with out having to resort to that though and can take many I repeat many calls to cricket to get this done. some say all you have to do is request to be put on the "ADR Smartphone All In $55" plan. Others like my self also got there phone type listing changed form CPE "Customer Provided Equipment" to the "Kyocera M6000".
ONCE YOU GET YOUR SELF ON THE ANDROID PLAN:
Don't forget to remove your "autostart.sh" and your "u2nl". autostart.sh is in /data/opt and your u2nl is in /system/bin. Or you could simply remove autostart and reset your phone.
Please post your successes
I plan to upgrade to this plan. I have an incredible and my girlfriend has a hero. My incredible can access the internet and apps work but no mms. The hero can't access anything or send mms.
I got my data working from one of the zip files token419 uploaded will these apns work even though MMS isn't working at this point? Also not having anything work on the hero I am assuming something is wrong in the pst settings but I can not access epst from ##778# I can from ##data# but I don't think all f the needed settings are there. Any thoughts?
Thanks

The APNs form Token's .zip Should work, they did for me.
On my eris some ROMs don't support diagnostic dialing. Ported froyo ROMs in my experience defiantly don't. It's more then likely the same for the Hero. your best bet is to flash to a rooted stock rom or some kind of plainJane rom then do your epst settings.
Also if you can dial ##diag you could change the appropriate pst settings from something like QPST.
whats the speed difference between the android plan and the unlimited 45 plan(which im on)?
My speeds are averaging about 500kb(download) and about 600-700(upload)...is there that much a difference? And you said MMS should now work even on AOSP roms? im on CM RC1 and was wondering this before i changed over my plan to the android plan.

Yeah it's weird I tried it on both 1.5 and 2.1 stock roms. I tried using qpst with no change maybe I missed something. I am used to flashing WM phones from the phones epst settings so qpst was new for me.
The hero is stuck saying "turning on...." for the mobile network could something else be causing this?
Thanks
ok so i think i got that all taken care of finally. so a fresh installed rom with the normal apn changes made are all thats needed now?
mms still leaves me with some questions specially when dealing with sprint roms and the evo since i know the aosp cm6 still puts sprint in the banner unless i change the eri.xml file and the stock messenger def has sprint things in it but we will figure that out soon enough

Hmm... I don't know I'v never had that problem. In my experience flashing a WM and a android Phone are almost identical processes. Maybe on your hero you should flash over a factory rom with a factory radio return it to a completely stock phone and start over???

Buffalo NY (one of their test markets)
Kind of a newb but managed to root and flash newest vanilla tazz to my htc eris. I noticed that it came with H connectivity instead of 3g. HSDPA. Seems to work faster for wifi tethering x box 360 than when i had just stock rooted on 3g. So i was wondering which rom for the eris has the best data connectivity or would be the best for tethering and gaming on a console.
Tethering and gaming on a console is a bad idea.
And no, different ROM's probably won't effect 3G data all that much... if anything they might do something wrong but most of them wil give you the same.
The only thing that effects 3G data is your ISP, your radio, and the reciever in your phone.
Bad ideah why?
Is it because of the speeds that you say its not a good ideah? Its really my only way to game and all i want to know is how to get the fastest tether. And yes switching from stock to vanilla tazz improved my connnectivity. 3g to hsdpa is a difference maybe not a big one but it helped alot. There is way less noticeable lag. if there are any other ways to help make my tether faster thats what im looking for. thanks for any help. and for the quick reply .

Don't let the data icon fool you... its still 3g no matter how you look at it. The reason for the H is because it was ported from the Hero. It doesn't change anything.

Well ever since I flashed the rom gaming got a little less laggy on tether my movie download went fromapprox. 20-30kbps to 60-max160kbps. And I even did internet speed test and got 1.5-2.5 Mb higher so there is definatly a difference consistsntly not just guessing. If anybody out there knows any other ways to faster tether plz help.

I have a lot of tethering experience as it was my only internet from August until just a couple weeks ago. Every time I thought I found a rhyme or reason why my tethering was working much, much better, things would change again and it would revert to the old, works, but is hard to rely on consistently for computer levels of data transfer.
Sorry I don't have any specific advice for you at this time. In general, I liked CM6's (and I assume CM7's, too) native tethering as it connected a lot faster than other solutions. For a while I got great tethering performance, too, and then it was only on weekends I would get great performance. Eventually it was hit or miss, with a lot of misses.
I hope your solution keeps working well for you!
Somebody must know a way...lol plz help
To All, This is a new thread dedicated to trying to resolve the known problems with the current Hacked Radio/modems we all have experienced.
Please do not post already known issues over and over I will delete them. The Effort is to keep this thread clean and up to date with newly discovered fixes an/or new bugs.
Both Allgamer and I have a Note so any developer that needs something tested pm us and we will assist you as best we can
The issues we all seem to have experienced Are:
1. Dropped calls, this is a big issue... need to phone to never fail us..... especially for those who are business dependent.
2. Low up load speeds
3. Inconsistent data speed issues
4. Data dropping
5. Battery Drain/heat issues
If there are other specific issues that arise please post and I will itemize in the OP. Let's see if we can draft the assistance of a developer (s) who are excellent with radio/modem hacking. We are close to a final fix let's try to get across the finish line to 100% success.
Thanks to All who have to date helped in the quest of finding a perfect fix.
SPECIAL THANKS to All who paid the bounty..... kept your word....... and helped in any other way...... It REALLY warms the soul to know our community can come together and follow through on commitments......... Thank you all.... Oka1
Allgamer posted this for a fix for some : In case anyone still have the drop call issues, here's a good work around http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...77&postcount=2
RESERVED.....
Thank You
I just wanted to give Thanks to the guy that made this happen! I wasn't part of the initial bounty, but I sent him some cash! I love this device and just wanted to say Thank you!
can't wait to see
what comes out here.
Wasn't there a few people who started a new bounty for the 100% properly working radio fix? Could the OP please add them to the first post and maybe keep a running total with names like the original bounty?
Also, are there any radio/modem developers who could give me a few tips on how to start working on this? I opened the radio files all gung-ho like but as they are binary I have no idea what's what in there
(Or, if a radio/modem developer is considering working on this, let me know and I would like to help and donate $20 if we are successful )
I just wanted to say thanks for making this happen first.
Second, I used the updated build.prop that was posted from the guy who figured this all out and then flashed my phone with the Telus radio even though I'm on T-Mobile. I am pleased to say this combo works PERFECT for ME.
I am getting download speeds of around 10Mbps and upload speeds are usually around 2 to 3Mbps. This is plenty fast enough. Also the data switching is instant between edge and 4g if I go out of a 4g area. My signal is also just as strong as other T-Mobile branded phones by looking at the dB level of the signal.
If you are having issues I would encourage you to try this combo. I am perfectly happy with my Notes performance.

i agree it's working pretty good for me as well
i'm still undecided which radio is better KID or Telus
they both seems o be doing great
in my end the limitations is mainly due the service provider, even on my T989 i can't get good upload speed, and download speed is the same on both my T989 and i717
so from my point of view, it's as good as it'll get
the only bug i frequently encounter is the data getting hung
which thanks fully the NoBar took care of that issue for me, if there is no signal for more than X amount of minutes it'll restart the radio for me to catch a new signal

Silly question, I gues not all AT&T Notes are created equal? I tried flashing the KID modem and my Note was very unhappy. It started up but it was stuck in an unholy lag. I tried everything but it was not until I flashed one of the other 2 modems that it went back to normal. I am trying the Telus/build.prop combo and the download is a LITTLE better at just under 4Mps with still the lousy upload speed. I live in northern Delaware.

Shouldn't have any lag in the operation of the phone. It is likely that the KID modem you are using was the original T-Mobile zip and not the modded one.

I don't notice any kind of heat issues with this device on any combo I've tried, however I don't play games for hours or anything.
As for battery life, it seems just a tad worse on battery with the build.prop modification and Telus radio but even with worse battery it is still the best life of any android device I've owned. With the data speeds I'm getting the battery life is an ok trade off.

Yup. I used Es file explorer cause it's free but root explorer should work the same.
When I got the Mediapad X1 (503L) a couple months back it came with 4.2.2. and the wifi and cell signal were pretty weak and inconsistent. They were workable however...
I upgraded to 4.4.2 (B007) and it seemed to be a little better for a month or so, however lately in the last week or so it had seemed to take a downward spiral. The Wifi is connected but no data gets transferred at all. I have to put it in airplane mode to get the wifi to "reset"
Any one else notice this? This phone is great, but the wifi and 3G/4G stuff just seems to stall and hang way too much.
I'm located in the US on AT&T.
In my experience B006 was best for gsm signal. At the price of no 5GHz wifi.
2.4GHz works fine in both versions for me. But then I am in Europe................ .........

Until a few years ago you had to select USA, europe, or Japan when setting up a wifi network. This process is automated now based on network parameters "spied" by the modem.
Huawei implements this poorly or not at all on their chinese market devices, including the international 501L not intended for the US market.
The good news is: it isn't like it won't work at all. Sometimes it just helps changing the channel. The wifi analyzer app is a great tool...... .. .. ... ....
Otherwise one would have to extract the modem apk of a dedicated us provider from the rom.
Great information!
I'm using a 503L, Wifi in the US is very hit or miss. (Which makes sense now reading your post)
How do I get the phone to use a certain channel? That's up to the Wifi access point isn't it?

I used the app wifi analyzer to see which channel is the best.
And yes, then you change it in the router.
Phone is really getting bad now with signal, several times a day now The Wifi is connected but won't actually transfer any data, the same with 3G/4G. Sometimes even putting it into airplane mode doesn't fix it and I have to do a full reboot.
The other big problem is app being shut off automatically in the background. I use Google Hangouts and Line to chat with people and after a while those processes get closed and won't give me notifications until I manually open the app which seems to restart it.
I really hope there is a fix in the works (I'm on the B010 update)
The 4.2.2 seemed to be more reliable for signal issues and never closed apps in the background, however the performance of 4.2.2 was terrible...
Just a warning for any folks in the USA that are considering this phone.
Have clicked those apps in "power saving /protected apps"?
I don't know what to tell you about your comm issues. Wifi AND phone does not point to an antenna issue. Maybe a factory reset or loading the firmware once more?

Yes, they are setup as "Protected" still doesn't keep them from stopping.
I'm hoping we see another update from Huawei so I can start from scratch with the version instead of wiping what I already have.
Yeah, waiting is notva bad choice.
I am doing the same, waiting for a standalone B008 for my 503L. If that is no good I'll go back to B006.

The 503L is up to B010, not sure they will do a B008?
Forgot to mention that as long as 4.4.2 forces the dpi to 400, I ain't changing.

Yeah, that really needs to be fixed too. I am sort of getting used to the larger DPI, but the issue is app compatibility, so many apps won't install from the Google Play store with the 400DPI
Has anyone tried that Custom Recovery for the 503L? I sure which I could take a backup of the whole rom, i'd Probably got back to 4.2.2 as everything seemed to work better just performance was laggy.
@omniphil you could try the cwm at my thread. I got it from the German and Russian forums which in turn got it feom the Chinese forums.

I saw that thread, but after reading, it seemed like it only worked on the 501.
You could give it a shot. At worst you reflash your stock recovery. Use Flashify, incredibly easy.

Hi,
Do we have any mods or tweaks that could increase mobile data speeds?
I am running Lollipop so a working mod or tweak for this frameware would be great.
TIA!

Android has nothing to do with speed it's your Carrier/plan
Do you have unlimited late?

Well there is a mod that claims to speed up Data Speeds and it also claims that it is a known Linux speed tweak.
Yes, I do have unlimited connectivity.
Currently running Lollipop as mentioned and following that mod doesn't seem to have any effect.

Lmao that's for 2.3-4 do you have GB on your ultra? That was written 3 years ago.
If you have T-Mobile you can use fast instead of epc

Yea I know that was an old mod the reason I am asking if there is any known mods for the "up-to-date" versions of Android.
Thanks anyway, glad you noticed my question.

If you want faster speed do a Google search for your carrier's APN.
Pro tip
Unlimited lte is 80 from T-Mobile
