Hacking/tweaking 3G settings and the radio driver

[kptphalkon]

you should talk to fenom about his rom lol. Ill load it up to my phone haha but i dont really feel like sbfing and then romming for a clean rom AGAIN.

I know he put a huge list of hacks in his rom, Im not sure what they all entail, and I dont know the difference for the three or four lines that have different values.

Does any one here know how to wep or wpA hack. No I'm not testing to see if I can do it. I actually want to do it so I can play ps3 and download Psx for my phone. My rents don't see the point in having internet with no computer. Please help.

Can this be used on the Droid X, or does it just apply to the Droid 2? (keeping fingers crossed!)

I was pretty sure Droid X didn't support GSM and, as such, HSPA and GPRS.

Darn! I was afraid of that :icon_ cry:

I did it! It helps to have the drivers installed properly. I downloaded the 4.8.0 drivers package and installed it, then changed my phone to "PC mode" and it found 4 devices and installed drivers for three of them, strangely, failing on the "MTP USB Device". I assume my computer suddenly located these drivers thanks to the recent install of 4.8.0.

I don't know what "Motorola Driver Installer.exe" is or does, but it appears to be useless.

Anyway, the script worked but I don't know yet if it helped my speed. If it is noticeable... I'll notice it.

--------------------------------------


slightly off topic now - what is "MTP USB Device"? Just curious what failed to install.

Also - I switched to USB debugging and the other devices disappeared (which is expected) and "A956" popped up. I was never able to get A956 to install properly, but now 4 other devices are installing including ADB interface - which I already had.

I switched to "charge only" with USB Debugging still on, and a different "Mot Composite ADB interface" showed up. It, too, installed properly.

Finally, I switched to mass storage with USB Debugging still on. The PC recognized the phone as a USB storage device, and this time instead of an ADB Interface Device type, I have "Android Phone" - Android ADB Interface. ADB sees my device, so we're all good.

Lastly, turning off USB Debugging makes the phone show up only under DVD Drives as "Motorola A956 USB Device"... it also causes a Verizon tab to open in Firefox.... mighty annoying.

All along I had Easy Tether running, which is a separate driver altogether, and my PC recognized it no matter what mode I was in, as "Easy Tether Network Adapter" and was available to connect.

I am happy! Looks like my D2G and my PC are finally talking to eachother!

Glad you got it working! I was going to say that drivers were definitely the issue. I believe that MTP USB device (don't take my word for it) is a older way to connect USB devices, it creates a little M in the taskbar and helps connect old devices.

No p2k4 tab??

o Then use the arrow buttons on the right of the screen to scroll to the P2K 4 tab. Select it. In the STElem / RDELEM box you will see a few text fields. change element id to 01C2, record to 0001, offset is unchanged and length to 0001. Data is 01. Press STELEM (one of the buttons in the box). The text box at the upper middle of Radiocomm will change to green and tell you that things were successful (if you scroll down a bit, that is) Go ahead and reboot your phone, it should be all set.

I don't see a p2k4 tab, but p2k3 then p2kwlan, then p2k5?

This is a droid global phone, I am usually very proficient but am I missing something simple?

Thanks!

Did the radio dethrottle, managed to get this for a result.
Much better than the 1.6mbps down/.5mbps up I used to get!

First of all the first tweak should be universal (I use it on an OG Droid and its excellent)...what it does is change the way the phones handle receiving data signal...most phones built in settings for those are far behind what the networks are capable of...
Those values listed are the maximum values possible, however not all phones are capable of actually running those values...good news though is it doesn't really matter, the only detrimental effect would be a small decrease in battery life

You got that on a D2 global?
I feel proud of my little D1 now lol

And that's just with the local.prop tweak lol
Btw, what speedtest app are you using? Mine only measures in kbps

Same app, you can just change how it displays speed in the settings
Must be verizon being overall crap sometimes over here...I lose 3g lots of times during the day and the phone is fine. My mom gets the same problems with losing 3g, and she has an OG D1.
Btw, my speeds were with only part of the .prop hack, and the RC hack. Local.prop edit doesn't work on Fenom for whatever reason, guess I have to go track down Fenuxx on that.:biggrin:

Edit: I did put them into the build.prop

If it doesn't work in local.prop, put them in the build.prop it has the higher priority...the local.prop can't override the build.prop but the build.prop can override the local....most local.prop tweaks can be put in the build.prop its just easier to edit local.prop lol

ok so i did the radiocomm hack before but have wiped/install/sbf since then so i went to do it again. i did everything it said and it turn green and was successful. then i rebooted and while the phone was off unpluged. on the reboot i got the m logo but never got to the bootanimation. its like my rom got wipe/erased. so i reinstalled the rom cause i was lucky enough to have the recovery pop up and without any wipe, everything is back and lost no data. my question is installing the rom again, has that undid the radiocomm hack? do i have to do it over again?
