Hey guys i exprience slow data during both morning and night. Is there a tweak to increase the speed? Or it is the carrier fault?

I dont seem to get 3g turbo charge to work..btw when bandwith alloted by your carrier is limited how can it increase by 3 times?

same trick like yours 2g plan but i use it on 3g network...now i am getting constant speed of 200kbs
i can download at 100/kbs without any boost's and this is when i use it as wireless teather
Its your carrier (possibly)..if you have T-Mobile once you pass 2gb/5gb, the speed caps out and speeds are slower...sprint is the only US carrier to have unlimited data without charging you extra money to get more speed..the 3g turbocharger tweak works ( I think).

3g turbo charger tweak does not work. Whenever I try this tweak the data stops working.

Bad signal from base stations - low speed in data transfer.

Horrid tether speeds

So I've been using my thunderbolt to tether to my flyer tablet. Speakeasy tells me I'm getting around 12mb download on the phone but only like .5mb download on the tablet. When I'm home on my wifi the tablet gets 22mb down so I don't think that's the problem. I also know its not Rom specific

Anybody? Flashed to cm 7 and the wifi hotspot built in gives me 5-8mb down. Could it be radio related?

It could have to do with the fact that your tethering your phone to a tablet. I don't know if that actually matters, but it's something to think about. Can you tether to a PC with good speeds?
Havnt tried but I will. I do know that when I switch to lte only speeds improve to about 4mb down and 5mb up. I'm gonna try my friends battery cover.

Is there a way speed up my 3g I have full bars but very slow speed help please

It's 3G. Don't expect great speeds.
But there is an app called "Network Signal Booster" and if you are rooted there are some build.prop tweak available.
Use Google before you post please.

Polling rate?

Is there a way to modify the wifi and mobile network polling rates? My phone dies like a dog at work due to no reception.
Thanks

Wi-Fi scan is a tweak in build.prop. There is a app called .prop tweaker or editor I believe.
Idk about network though

Whenever I'm in a poor signal area I just turn off mobile data and wifi. That way you don't have to worry about your radio constantly searching for better signals when your not even using it.

Yea just turn off data and WiFi. I saved HUGE amounts of battery doing that in bad signal area

I just turn my phone off completely. Great battery life, and I never have to worry about it searching for signal. Bonus: with all the new kernels popping up, when my phone is turned off it sleeps like a sloth.
Try it out!
Appreciate the replies but i use offline apps all day so i can't power down.
Anyone else know?
