3g signal improvment - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I see in several roms they say improved 3g signal. Is there such a fix for stock gb.
My wife wont let me put different rom in her phone as she likes stick more than cm but phone signal is very poor on 3g .

Well, first u should root that X10 then add some line ,
Open root exploer / system / build.prop and add this in addtional line reboot and enjoy )

best AT&T set up for download speed

any ideas guys? I had an xperia x10 loaner, running custom ROM+build.prop was seeing 3-4.5Mbps download on AT&T. Ive never been able to get more than 2.5 on my streak, Ive used stock; 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.2, DJSteve builds 1.46-1.9, and now im using Simple Streak 1.2.
Any ideas? Would engineering baseband be better? I have the build.prop ro.ril tweaks, etc.
im on simplestreak 1.2 w/baseband 35411-US
Consider yourself lucky, all I'm getting is 1.9, 1.2 and 1 mostly. My gf's captivate gets 3-5 constantly. If any one has any ideas to fix this, please let us know.

How to Increase AT&T 3G Speed on Android
Includes step by step to editing build.prop via ADB or Root Explorer.
After some testing, this is the best I could come up with:
SimpleStreak 1.2 with 353 AMS flashed
Code:
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
Place that at the end of your build.prop and make sure there is a blank line at the very end. Reboot twice and test.
I went from 439kbps - 900kbps down / 1079kbps up without these settings to 2978kbps down / 1104kbps up
Your mileage may vary.
My original post in this thread:
I flashed the 354 AMS for SimpleStreak 1.2 and found that I am getting around 500kbps d/l speeds on AT&T
I saw your post and was hoping to find some answers. I didn't know what the ro.ril tweaks were, so I googled. I assume you mean adding this to build.prop:
Code:
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
I am going to flash the 353 baseband plus add the ro.ril tweaks and see if that helps.
::update:: Actual speed test result on 354 bb was 439kbps (man that is slow). After flashing 353 bb update, I'm getting 1033kbps down. Going to try some ro.ril tweaks and see if anything changes.

I seem to have posted ro.ril settings for a 4G Galaxy SII (really AT&T... just call HSPDA 4G... who'll know) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087729
Settings previously mentioned for Streak are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924440
Code:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5
The fastest d/l speed I've seen so far is 1197kbps (using the ro.ril from the SII post). This is really disappointing. The iPhone 4 hits 2.5MB consistently sitting right next to my Streak.

I guess my question becomes, how in the world are you getting 2.5 mb down on your streak?
idk, I'm using same tweaks you posted on simple streak 1.2 with perfmod, but have always seen ~2.5 down, on any ROM.
Running Simple 1.2 with perfmod flashed, flashed 354 completely stock before, then 353 amss.mbn.
After build.prop edits, with about -95 to -99db signal strength:

Download: 2483kbps
Upload: 735kbps

2:

How are you guys testing download speed? How do you monitor it? Never did that on a phone.

On a rooted 351 with stock kernel and with most Dell included bloatware, especially the Stage UI, removed: 2.26 Mbps down, .75Mbps up on AT&T's network.
I never changed over to 353 or 354. Glad I didn't either.

In the stock browser address bar, type "about:debug" (no quotes). Then hit Menu \ More \ Settings. Scroll all the way to the bottom and find UAString (Stands for User Agent String) and select Desktop.
It forces web sites to show you the full version instead of the mobile version. Most third party browsers have this setting more easily accessible. (Miren, Dolphin, Firefox, etc)

From what I've been reading, it is suggested to put a blank line at the end of the ro.ril statements in build.prop. Also, reboot twice after making changes before testing speed.
This gave me 831kbps Down / 1031kbps Up
2nd run: 849kbps / 1113kbps
Not seeing much in the way of results here.

How do you find out the correct settings for your particular network? At 2.4/.750, I'm guessing mine are probably close, but hey, if I can get more for my hard earned money, I'm all for it.

These edits made the following changes:
Before: ~2500 down / ~500 up
After: ~2000 down / ~1000 up
I like that it looks a bit more synchronous even though the download speeds are a bit slower. I'll see how this feels in RL.
I just ran two speed tests.
1) Speedtest installed to phone - 1.4 down / 1.1 up.
2) Speakeasy from website - 2.5 down / .85 up.
Yes, I disabled wifi first.
Back to back tests should not be that different.

Improving Wifi range and efficiency?

Q: Can we improve our wifi reception and range in SGA?
Sorry for bad english and help is appreciated!
A: You need better router or antena, fix for Wi-Fi on Ace didn't see ;(
Is there any tweak out there for wifi?
I have found a wifi configuration file in my ace, i don't remember where it is located but if i remember right in this file was writen the power of wifi.
Hope can tweak it...

removing wifi scan ro. lines from build.prop & using setprop "on demand" wifi call?

removing wifi scan ro. lines from build.prop & using setprop "on demand" wifi call?
If I understand correctly, many people add certain lines to their build prop to allow settings on the device as read only i.e ro.
However for many people having this as set could mean in such cases where wifi scan interval is set to hi (or more frequent i.e 20)to enable maintained wifi connection during calls....that they will suffer with some amounts of battery drain.
Other people who are not interested in wifi calling could (could and usually do) set the scanning to a much high (or infrequent scan value of like 180) this is fine in most cases where battery consumption is considerably less and more desirable and even better when coupled with a modem to suit their region, provider and band.
But lets say someone uses wifi calling, but they don't want to permanently "set" i.e. an ro line within the build prop to constantly scan 20 when they are not on a wifi call. This is mostly true for most wifi callers around, unless the phone they are using is a dedicated inhouse wifi device (and yes I have considered a nice lil cheaper to do this with my self) anyway I hope you guys can see where I am headed with this?
Could say a script be generated where when a process is enabled that it calls the script to ramp up wifi scanning to a smaller more frequent value 20 when "ON A WIFI CALL" (that being the process) and then revert to a lower value (set otherwise so to speak) and conserve batter when "NOT ON A WIFI CALL" ?
If so can someone direct me with how to go about doing this?
I am in the process of setting up an installation package for T-mobile users on ICS using Galaxy S & variants of....and would like to include in my installation package a way of detecting and removing the wifi scan intival from the build.prop ro line and then paste the my scripting within system.
I already know how to make a install script that does the detect and CHANGE or detect and REMOVE in the build prop for ALL types of ICS Galaxys.....however I am not sure about how to generate and then intitate an "on-demand" scripting for wifi calls? I assume that this is a setprop type function if so long as the ro function is gone (which is a read only and set at a higher precedent than any other functions if I believe right?)
Any help or pointed would be greatly appreciated.

No, you don't have to add #. Just simply copy paste that script, and don't forget to set 644 permission & if you not sure enough, make a backup or your rom for insurance. .hehehe...
If you want you can make copy of original build.prop and keep in other place
I did this with 100% success, and I'm sure you will to if you came with same phone model. But remember this is only advice for your problem, so your responsible for your own. Cheers..

build.prop tweaking problem

Hi guys
Recently while searching the web looking for ways on how to boost my tablets performance, i came across this build.prop tweaks, since am rooted, i decided to give it a shot and boom, my device became very fast!
My build.prop is currently tweaked and it works fine...but there is a problem
Everytime i try to add some codes into the build.prop file, my wifi work wont work, it connects to wifi but any wifi apps say that i have no internet connection, tried to turning on and off and even rebooting but no luck, however removing the code fixes it
My root also broke after i applied the tweaks, but replacing the root management app fixed it
The tweaking codes that is causing the wifi problem are some of the rendering tweaks + all network tweaks
I dont care about the network tweaks, but I want all the rendering codes to stay, without breaking my wifi, any recommendations?
Tablet name: HP Slate 7 Plus (no simcard support)
ROM Type: Stock modified (rooted)
Hardware: NVIDIA Tegra 3
