we may able to get better 3G network speed. The change may enable the Van Jacobson style TCP/IP header compression. Your cellular network may or may not support this feature. My 3G cellular network (Celcom Malaysia, HSDPA 3.6Mbps) seem to be supporting this feature.
Before the change, I got (down/up) 3.4/0.5 Mbps, but, after the change, the result is quite impressive as we can see in the screenshot. Sometime, I got about 2x of download speed when download podcasts MP3s, from 400 kBps to upto 800 kBps.
Mbps : Mega bit per second
kBps : kilo BYTE per second
Anyone who tried this hack/mod either for 3G or 4G, please report your before and after results.
Remember to reboot after changes
Thank you

Didn't work for me.
Guess it wont work if the operator is limiting the speed.
Edit:
Changed speed test server and it does work.
Speed got x2 better than the fastest I ever got.
Doesn't work to me either.

Is this GSM only? I thought CDMA was limited to 2.8mbs, and LTE, well its just ridiculous the speeds you can get from it allready, I got 34mbs as a top, and average 24 ish. Up and down are so close sometimes too.
Worked for me..
Doubled my 3G speed..
Network provider is Virgin Australia.
It didn't work for me either. It seems like this must be for GSM only.

Thanks for tip! My download speed remains the same but the upload speed has really doubled!!!
You are right. This hack seem to be effective for GSM 3G. 4G data speed is already awesome and no needs for this hack.
I like to say thank you to others who tried this hack . Really happy to see a quite promising results from others. Please report the cellular data usage too, whether this also able to extends data quota, because, the feature is compressing data link. So, I hope we do not exceed the data quota much quicker.
Thank you.

Yes. I agree.
I also noticed that the PING significantly improved.
Mine improved also by 50 percent.
One thing i also noticed is that this method works best on stock roms.
My first system (stock ICS) managed to double the download speed and my PING. But my second system (fts ICS) only managed to improve the PING but with the same download speed.
Can anyone confirm this?

WifiKill
Do you think that someone is using your wifi? Do you want to take control (hijack) others wifi? Well this app does that using our beloved SG3!!
Well, with this app you can disable internet connection for a device on the same network. So if someone (anyone) is abusing the internet wasting precious bandwidth for a Justin Bieber videoclips you could just kill their connection and stay happy with a full bandwidth just for yourself.
Cool Things you can do with this -
1) If your neighbours are using your wifi network now you can stop them from doing so.
2) You are sitting in CCD or any other place which has open wifi, well you can take control and stop other users from using wifi.
This app is absoultly great and does what it says!!!!
ONE MORE THING - THIS APP REQUIRES ROOT!!!!!
This app is so powerful that it can even close the computers which are connected with Ethernet cables also!
#Dont Spread this thing or other people may use it on you!!! #
To Download this and for more Info Goto the main thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282900
All thanks to the Developers of the app and not me. I just found it over the internet. I have not in any way created this app!!

What does that one do? Because I read you could even shut a computer down...
I guess the first one just blocks the wifi.
Ah, found it on his forum:
There are 4 options to kill the connections coming through the phone:
1) Don't use iptables
- this will only put 0 in the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward, which will drop each packet from the client point of view the browser will try to load the page indefinitely like having a 1kbps internet connection each connection will just time out.
this is the best way if your device don't have iptables!
2) Use iptables + DROP policy
- this has similar effect to the previous but the packets are dropped in the iptables
3) Use iptables + REJECT target
- this will reject packets sending either RST packets for each tcp connection or icmp-port-unreach for udp connections, from client POV this will kill all connections pages will just look like they are temporarily down, browser won't load long it will instantly go off, REJECT target support is needed in order for this to work
4) Use iptables + redirect to 127.0.0.1:1
- this should have similar effect to the 3rd option but if your device don't have reject target, all tcp connections are redirected to your device and port 1 which is mostly unused and this also will send RST for each connection
But still, wich option shuts down a computer? Or does it just close the connection?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a mod on evo, can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707218
Works for evo 3d as well.
Here is how to install:
Unzip the attachment and place bcm4329.ko on your sdcard
Now use a file manager ie., es file explorer and copy bcm4329.ko from your sdcard
Navigate to /system/lib/modules in your file manager then delete the existing bcm4329.ko and paste the new one.
For some reason i cant get this to flash right so i used this method, you can also push it through adb i am assuming, but i know this way works.
My router will not let me set N only but G stops at 54 mbps and mine was at 65 mbps so i'm sure it works. The other way to test is speedtest app do a test before and after modifying the files.
To mod the file yourself for other bases is simple:
Open bcm4329.ko in a hex editor and search for "nmode" without the quotes and replace the 2 instances of it with anything i used what the thread recommended "-----" without the quotes.
Can someone with N only please confirm it works
Here is a screenshot of it at 65 mbps:

I for some reason thought that the 3VO already had wireless-N enabled by default? Mine is currently on latest base n connected at 65MB but yeh technically wireless-N can get higher speeds. But I'm not sure if my Linksys E3200 is fully N or not either... Anyone else know anything bout that router? Oh, I'm currently on MeanROM 2.9 with stock kernel.

You guys would have to enable advanced performance for wifi. It's under wireless networks -> wifi -> hit the menu button and select advanced. Check the box for advanced performance. That will get you higher speeds but it drains battery faster.
You guys posting your getting 65+Mbps run a speed test on your phone and tell me what your getting.
My phone is telling me I am getting 65Mpbs but when I run speed test I get 2Mbps
I tried this and now I get an error when trying to turn wifi on in settings. I even set permissions correctly... Any ideas? Thank you.

65Mbps is the throughput of the router to the device, not the actual bandwidth the modem / your ISP is giving.

That makes sense. Flashed MeanROM with stock kernel and everything is back to normal. Now hitting 15mbps down on my phone.
So, essentially, this is totally pointless, right? Phones already support N OOB, and it breaks functionality in certain kernels?
Thanks for the effort, but no thanks.

Interesting did you try this so called "mod" that could be it, or it could just be the area of the house you are using the phone from. Like bigwillyg said you could go under wireless networks -> wifi -> hit the menu button and select advanced to perhaps force a higher transfer rate at the cost of higher battery life. Don't worry though 2Mbps should be fine for almost anything and you could use WiMax if you have it, when you really need speed.
How weird, opening my connect network, my speed is 13Mbps, but on Speedtest I'm hitting 23 Mbps download solid.
Edit: now my speed it updated correctly. Speeds 52Mbps and I clocked out at 25.99Mbps when toggling the High Performance WiFi option.
Well I did the update stuck my sim card in the device and it works well.phone calls and textswork good. In the begining itsaid 3G on the signal bar. Today I took the tablet outside my home and after an hour the 3G turned into a H. While in the H mode I can't acess the web browser but in 3G it worked well. The other issue I have is in the 3G mode netflix doesn't seem to connect. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
After doing some searching I have read that the springboard cannot do talk/text AND web bur only talk/text which really sux. So has anyone found out a way to make it possible to use all three features?

3G means base UTMS. H means HS*PA, 3,5G, standard that improves performance.
Android always switching to HS*PA, when some app requires internet connection and it's supported by network. When no apps seeking for connection Android reverts to base UMTS to improve network availability and to safe battery.
You need to check network settings. Or better contact your operator for that. Everything should work unless your operator have a problem with HS*PA.
But something tells me you are not honest with us. It didn't work for you in 3G. But you just installed Android 4 and forgot to mention that you didn't try yet mobile data on Android 4. You think that it was working in 3G because Android 3 based firmwares missed H icon, but in fact every time you connected by mobile network, device was switching into HS*PA mode without letting you know.
So there 3 points to you:
1. Check if APN is set correctly;
2. Check if you installed correct ROM that support bands of your operator (there is a lot of different versions - 301u, 301w, 302u, 303u etc);
3. Make sure HS*PA is not broken on operator side.

3. I doubt my carriers HS*PA (T-Mobile) is broken.
And why would I lie in a forum? After I installed the rom I put my cell phones sim card in the device and it was showing 3G signal. I opened the brower and it went to my home page (Google.com) I checked e-mail... after I noticed the signal turned to H icould no longer access the web in either 3G or H. Whenever I opened the browser it just goes straight to T-Mobile login and it wasn't doing it before.
Can't say anything about it further of what i've said. Don't know T-Mobile settings and don't know if 301u version would fully work on 303u. That thread says HSPA+ (or as they call it 4G) wouldn't work with 301u firmware. But theoretically HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA should work, unless T-Mobile have different set of bands.
You better ask in that thread. May be there is someone with T-Mobile experience.

hi guys,
i have a question for you: ... since i needed to replace my previous wireless AP at home, I started to have a VERY STRANGE power-consumption profile on my Dinc4G! I already tried to (temporarily) restore an older (known good) nandroid-backup with now shows the SAME strangeness with the new AP.
basically the old one was a Netgear wlan-b/g only (WPA2) and the new one is also a Netgear, but MIMO dual-band a/n _or_ g/n (not simultaneously 2.4 & 5ghz, again WPA2). i already tested to restrict my Dinc4G to 5GHz only instead of auto-dualband ... restricted my Dinc4G to 2.4GHz only (and changed the AP to 2.4GHz as well for testing reasons) ... again no change at all
my current power-consumtion now basically looks like a seesaw/zigzag profile which essentially doubles my batt-%/hr :crying:

do you have ANY idea what kind of settings (on the wireless AP!) might cause this strange WiFi-wakeups on my Dinc4G apparently constantly ever 30min!!! ... i didn't change ANYTHING on my Dinc4G
already tried:
------------------
* 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz (on both phone and AP) => no change, still zigzags
* older nandroid (but with new AP) => no change, still zigzags
* wifi-off (just mobile-data) => higher power consumption in general, but no zigzag
+ could the MIMO be the reason (with 2-channels) instead of the regular plain wlan-g prior??
+ uPNP or sth similar??
+ just bad luck with the new wireless AP in general??
thanks for you ideas and/or insights
It could very well be the n part of your router. try going into the settings on your router and turning of the ability to do n.
n is a much faster internet connection, I could see it being just like idle time on 4g, how it can drain battery quickly. maybe with n there is a software loop.
good try. i had my AP set to "5ghz wlan a" only, thereby restricting it to a single channel ... so no MIMO ... but the zigzag-power usage remains >_<
dunno, seems like some continuous polling, keep-alive etc. i hope i can figure it out.

Do you have "Best Wi-Fi performance" selected? It's in the Advanced Wi-Fi menu.
no, "Best WiFi performance" is off and I hadn't changed a thing on my Dinc4G at all ... apart from selecting the new AP and entering its password.
yesterday, i tried to restrict the AP to "wlan g" (2.4GHz, single channel) only ... well the power usage is down to 1.6% instead of 1.9%, but the zigzag remains (). therefore it has neither anything with band nor channel-width to do.
well, still happening ... BUT at least one interesting news ... with WiFi OFF, _but_ mobile-data ON () my power-consumption when idle and screen-off in deepsleep now is well _below_ 1%/hr ... that used to be in the range of 3% at least!!
as i didn't change my ROM or actual location (town and cell-tower wise ) ... the only change i noticed that came to be were the recent updates on Google Maps (v7.4.0) and Google Play service (v.4.0.31) --> could those be in ANY way related to the new mobile-data low-power usage, like as if google changed their "google location service" code for lower power-usage (at least on mobile data), but wifi now uses more than it used to be??

Check your location settings. Kit Kat has a bug if you change location services to device only out helps a lot.

Double wifi speed of OP2
According to XDA Senior Member dreinulldrei, the WiFi configuration file used in the OnePlus 3 and 3T is the default one provided by Qualcomm. That’s not really an issue in and of itself, but the user discovered that the default configuration disabled channel bonding in the 2.4GHz frequency. 5GHz frequency networks have channel bonding enabled (and if you have access to this frequency, then it is advised you connect to it), but if your router only support the 2.4GHz frequency then this trick may be useful for you.
Enabling channel bonding should theoretically double your wireless throughput (as long as your router supports channel bonding), as the channel width increases from 20MHz to 40MHz. This trick is quite easy to implement, as all one needs to do is modify one line in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini (located in /system/etc/wifi).

Original article - https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-double-the-wifi-speed-on-your-oneplus-3-3t/
I didn't get the maximum speed of my connection through my OnePlus 2 either. So I checked WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini (located in /system/etc/wifi)
to see if by any chance it's disabled on OP2 as well & YES!
Channel bonding in 2.4GHz frequency's disabled by default on OnePlus 2 as well.
Use following method to enable channel bonding in 2.4GHz frequency & speed up your connection,
Warning!
I won't be held responsible for any damaged/bricked devices. Use this guide at your own risk
In essence, there is a greater possibility for wireless interference if you enable a channel width of 40MHz. The exact reason why it increases interference is more complicated than is necessary to cover in this article, but in general “40MHz wide channels over 2.4GHz is not a good idea in urban areas where there is a high density of WiFi access points” to quote XDA Recognized Developer SultanXDA.
However, if you are located in a more rural or suburban area where there are few wireless networks to interfere with your own, this fix provides a free way to double your phone’s network speed. Try it out and let us know if it works for you!

Method
-> Open WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini (located in /system/etc/wifi) using a text editor
-> Find line "gChannelBondingMode24GHz=0"
-> Change "gChannelBondingMode24GHz=0" to "gChannelBondingMode24GHz=1"
-> Save & Reboot. Done!

Hi must the op2 be rooted?

Yes. Otherwise you can't edit the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file.
How ever I made the Changes but speed is still same.

If your internet connection isn't as quick as his one, you won't see any difference. If you have a normal connection say below 20mbps you won't see a difference.

Maybe your router has channel bonding disabled. Plus make sure it's a 2.4GHz. For 5.0GHz it's already enabled in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

Yes, u right. My connection speed is 15mbps..
Seen on the XDA news portal for the OP3, I immediately did it for my OP2 and it works. Just a shame that I use 5GHz everywhere, so it doesn't add a use for me
Saw this for OP3 too. Did it on my OP2. Worked: faster Wifi. 150 mbps.
Then noticed Portable WiFi Hot-Spot stopped being detected by other devices (laptop, other phones).
Reverted changes same way: edit file, set to 0. Issue remained.
Finally solved by restoring a recent backup of System partition via TWRP.
Also, note that your router or access point must be 802.11n compatible, and enabled with correct settings. With older 802.11g models you are stuck at 54 Mbit/s anyway.
Little guide on that topic: https://www.lifewire.com/get-300-mbps-speed-on-802-11n-network-818267 (OP2 will get only 150MBps because it has one antenna)

That's why I added the 'Warning' section.

Indeed you did.
Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to understand how that warning is related to the HotSpot from my OP2 not being detected by even my car's Android stereo (which detected it before the change) even in my building's underground parking where there was no other WiFi network available... in theory, there would be no interference there if no other WiFi network is detected... right?
...or you meant the text in red? If so, I'm not putting blame on anyone! I was just commenting on my experience as I did see no mention of such problems so that others could would check this if they do need the hot-spot as I do.
Cheers!

I admire your contribution by sharing your issues after changing channel bonding. It's the reason forums like xda exists. What I meant was I added a 'Warning' section because there will be issues to be expected(for some). In that section I quoted discovered issues mentioned in the article.
As for your problem,
You said the problem existed even after reverting the change ? Right ? Maybe it's not the one caused the problem. Maybe something else did.

Yup. Undid the change in same way I applied it: set system to r/w, edit file, save, set system to r/o, reboot. I even tried wipe cache/Dalvik just in case too. No fix.
I can't say for sure it was this as I have no hard proof, but I'm pretty positive. Reason: In between the change and reverting it, I did nothing else to system (this is in fact first time I touch it) nor did I install any new apps. I'm very careful on changes and never apply more than one at a time or too frequently. This way I can isolate issues. And also that got solved by restoring system partition alone.
Anyway!! Just thought of reporting it for people to be aware and check this if they apply the change. If in fact the change has no impact over the hot-spot, then I did do something else and can't remember!
Thanks & Cheers!

Amazing! I'll try implementation of this into my ROM and see how it goes in general
This solved the old firmware question for me (3.5.6=random reboots, 3.1=WiFi drops). Now I can just use the 3.1 firmware without any downsides.

Same for me. But reverting changes worked here.
