Slow 3G Speed? Try this - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Coming from the Epic 4G I remembered a little script Marcusant wrote awhile back that promised increased 3G speeds. I had forgotten about it, but always had it on my Epic, and didn't think much of it, or even knew if it really worked.
So I noticed my 3G speeds since getting my S3 have seemed slower, so I remembered that thread. Installed it and you can see my results in the picture. 1st three test without, last one with. I was pleasantly surprised. I have done several other tests since this screenshot with similar results. YMMV.
Please make sure to Thank Marcusant.

Cool! I may try this when I get home today. I too am a former Epic guy. That was a nice forum. A LOT of good developers and info.

It's really helping me out it seems. I don't remember it being this effective on the Epic.

For rooted or non rooted?

Socos had to dig REALLY deep for this one.. lol.. (yes i remember it to from my OG Epic days) lol.. Good one tho!

I have the same question as LexLuger82, Does this require root?
I have an EVO LTE and a GS3.
My guess is it does since its a ZIP format..

Surprisingly enough it is still on the front page of the Epic Development thread, wasn't hard to find at all

To install the zip you would have to be rooted, and I believe to change the build.prop file you would need to be rooted as well, so I'm saying yes.

Just one of the stickies that time forgot.. I think i still have that Zip on my SD card from when i had my OG epic! lol Never even thought to flash to my S2 before i gave to wife. lol

Like I said I don't remember it giving me much of a boost on my Epic, but I'm glad I found it again

Just downloaded on Chrome (Mobile) and worked. (like 30 secs ago)

This cut my speeds in half.
Restoring backup.

That is the YMMV part.

I think it would be helpful to post which rom you are on with this.
On CM10 it killed my speed. Probably due to these sysctl settings being further adjusted to the phone in the CM codeline / device overlay.
IIRC these changes were added into CM7 during development on the Epic 4G. I will see if I can find the commit.

MyTouch 4G Kernel Source Code

Source code released this morning. Give it a whirl devs, i'm sure we're all curious to see what this phone can do.
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/glacier-2.6.32-g52a2a81.tar.gz
Good deal. Overclocking is a big one for me. Maybe after I learn some more programming with my degree I can syart helping these guys on new phones...
Also, I am not sure if TMobile is going to disable wi-fi calling or tether features, but we should jack them on the idea of charging us too.
This should be a good day for us MT4G owners I hope!
All kernel sources are here: http://developer.htc.com/
Nice! It's about time! As much as I love the stock version I need to see what this baby can do.

This was all Kmobs was waiting on. He mentioned (twitter) last night that ETA for CM6 was 12/25/10, contingent upon source release. Since this came out WAY ahead of the usual time frame for releases, i'm thinking we'll get something long before Christmas.
This means we'll get ROM's soon...I hope?

It means custom kernels, not roms. Though it does technically mean we'll get CM6 sooner since it uses a custom kernel.

Download ADW or Launcher Pro out of the market. I'm used to CM6, so I went with ADW. Feels like home.
Yep, bloatware cleanup, ADW install, and SDcard cleanup are on the menu tonight. Hopefully someone will have an OC kernel up by this evening.
I wonder if we'll be able to break the 2GHz barrier on the MT4G, I know they hit 1.9 on the G2.

I'm thinking it will crush the G2's scores. Although that really doesn't matter much to me so much as what they'll be able to do with OC/UV. I want to see how much battery life they'll get out of the MSM8255.
Yeah ya! I just jizzed my pants!! Oops lol

I dunno if I'd go so far as to say "crush" however I'd be surprised if it wasn't higher. I agree though equal performance to stock with much better battery life is far more exciting because stock is already fast as hell.

[Q] So doing a clean sweep of my Incredible...

Due to a recent little issue I am having I am doing a clean sweep of my HTC Incredible.
I am currently on CM7, with radio .28 , rooted , unrevoked forever, busybox... you know... things and stuff and things...
I am looking for suggestions for what I should do next.
What ROM?
What Kernel?
What Radio?
I am going on a LONG plane trip very soon so maximizing battery life would be nice without sacrificing too much in the way of power. Or heck, go for max power and show me how to REALLY crank this thing up. Just go with what you feel is the optimal setup so I can give it a try. Thanks for your input!

This is a popular setup because of how smooth chad's kernel and CM7 works together.
9.01 is better on the battery, however 4.08 provides faster 3G speeds (in my numerous testing between them)

Well i'm surprised at the amount of replies this has gotten. I've already done the first guy's suggestion and I will say it's pretty snappy. I am doing backups of each setup idea and will post my thoughts on each one.
The first one with Rom-Incredible Reingeneered Z is really quick to respond and has lots of nice features. I'm just not crazy about sense is all. I'd like to smash this with an AOSP ROM for the gallery, launcher, and graphical effects that something like CyanogenMod has. However... I suppose the "Pretty effects" are what causes it to not respond AS quickly. For sure it's being saved away for further toying with ( yay for 16gb memory card! lol )

I'm not sure what graphic effects you're looking for, but Cyanogen has the fancy TV-off animation and when paired with ADW EX, you have fancy screen transitions as well. BTW, CyanogenMod 7.0.2 just came out, I'm flashing it now, I'll see if it's as stable as the latest nightlies.
EDIT: Seems that video recording isn't working on 7.0.2, I'm going with nightly #56.

I'm assuming 7.0.2 and 7.0.0 aren't THAT different that the solution wouldn't work anymore. However, I've been wrong before. I am flashing 7.0.2 and trying the second suggestion's setup and seeing how that goes for me. I will keep you posted!
Hm, it seems weird that the radio would affect the camera but hey if it works! Also I know some people use the MIUI camera, perhaps video recording works on that? Let us know how 7.0.2 works out. I rarely ever record video but like to have it available if needed.

[Q] Questions about Sprint Epic 4G Touch

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before but as usual, Sprint isn't providing me with answers.
First, will the new phone run NetFlix? I've tried some hacked versions on my Android tablet with some success so I'm hopefull on this isuee.
Second, does it support Wi-Fi Direct? I've seen conflicting information and the yahoos at Sprint don't even know what this means.
Ok, one more for good measure, why no NFC? I thought this would be cool to have even if it has limited use in the US.
On the Netflix issue, I can't see why it would not work. I had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D (which I returned) and both ran Netflix just fine. It'd be REALLY stupid if it didn't.

Yep - thank's Sprint. I came here because this is where all the cool people are. Anyway, I guess I'll wait and see what happens when the phone shows up. Can't wait to get the thing rooted...
Do the current S2's that people are using support Wi-Fi Direct? I can't imagine Samsung would add that just to the US versions if nobody else has it already.

Confusing is right. I'm kinda hoping that a separate thread is started. OR, even better--that the rooting/flashing processes described for the existing sg2's work on the US variants!

Yes, yes, and probably hardware limitations.
I have been reading up on the international version of the SGS2 and it has a FM Radio that you can use to listen to your local stations. Now does the Sprint version works with this or has Sprint disabled it again like they did with the TP2.

Just got my GS2 :(

Okay so I just got the GS2, while I was waiting for it to arrive I started ready all the defects, I knew already that it was not as fast as the original but then screen problems. First thing I did was a quadrant and i got 2200, 2400 last 3200. After that i did the screen test with that blog image and sure enough it is grey with lines and blog. I guess the only good thing about this phone is the data speed total bummer. I came from G2x and I notice lag on the GS2 like on home screen transition. I just couldn’t wait for the Nexus so got GS2 and I’m disappointed and now I’m going to root it and put EB see if that helps.
What's the date on the back of the box?
Deebo took your bike too?
9/28 but i dont think that matters since everyone saying they have same issues.

I meant that i was dissapointed becuase of all the hype of the original GS2, hopefully its better with EB im bout to flash but coming for the G2x rooted it was fast and about the screen have you dont the blog.img test and gone through the steps cuz ive read people with box date of oct and have same issue but i still need to use the phone just got it and the only way i notice is doing the test everything else is not to bad yet.

So make one, if not patiently wait like the rest of us. More roms are great for the community.

Lol why you mad?
I am patiently waiting...and i know more ROMS are good...but whats the fun in trying other roms if all of them are pretty much the same? Meaning built off the stock rom. Yes i know Juggernaut is out which has a few tweaks, but to me its still not any different than EB.

Wait for a dev to make a rom that's different.

I feel the same. I want something innovative. Small mods on the stock just isn't worth it. Time to be patient?

There is no 'good' date. It just depends on each individual phone. I've had three from 9/28 now and 1 is great, 1 is pretty good, 1 was bad. I had one from 9/29 and it was decent, but the loud speaker was broken.

Sprint will be rolling out a non-Jelly Bean software update

Since this hasn't posted yet. Epic Fail Sprint. At least there doing something to fix our sucky service. Here's link

How is it an epic fail?
Gotta love how everyone complains about not getting updates, then when they get an update they're pissed because its not as big as what you expected.

agreed. I don't think this is an epic fail at all. It seems like there is a 26 day turn around time from testing to roll-out. If anything remains consistent, I'm hoping we see jelly bean sometime mid august.

I can see why people are ungrateful.
First "fix" is developer speak for, "we are tweaking the visuals on your signal bars without actually doing anything helpful."
Second one is to support a Sprint app that I am sure is pay-for.
Last one is a simple toggle preference which I believe is nothing more than a build.prop edit.
Lets not forget what they aren't telling you: That local search will be gimped.
Yeah, I would be pissed and ungrateful too.

Is it really an update? RSSI indicator mod? That is not fixing any type of signal for your phone. It just sounds like a graphic fix to make you feel better.
Wi-fi and LTE defaulted on. I guess this is for the people who do not know they needed to turn it on. Now it will turn automatically once updated. Thing is, unless you are one of the 6 people to be in an LTE market will this really effect you? Bottom line is they need to gimp search and they are probably pressured to do it in a timely fashion. If not for that, you would not be seeing an update.
This is on update that Sprint can have first over Verizon. I will keep my search for now, thank you!
Its a epic fail because of the Be they feed you to update so they can fix some things with out you knowing. How are they not able to just say were going to take search off and give you some pretty lights for signal bars. How does it effect me. I'm with everyone else who thought they were buying pure Google phone. I keep lte off because I don't live in a lte area.
So like he said ^^^ how would this update have anything to do with me.

It is there following Verizon but can't seem do any better.
I thought coming fro. T-Mobile Sprint was going to be the **** unlimited data (o yea!) Cheaper and I get a dope ass phone. ( phone is ****ing sexy). But cmon sprint IDC for 4.1 now I just wanna go outside and search the web with my unlimited data at speeds faster then it takes a snail to cross the finish line. And I understand there setting up lte. How long do you think theyll keep it unlimited once the get lte up and running.
Back to topic for those that want to update do you just flash back your bak up off stock and update or do u need to something else.

Why would you want to even take this update? It isn't fixing anything but will be removing things....
I mean, I wouldn't use the stock update anyway, I'm just sticking to cm10 lol.
Can the update and update NAG be stopped ?
