[MOD]Net >data speed tweak<>VODAFONE AUSTRALIA - Galaxy S III Android Development

So my fellow Australians. I don't know if like myself you experience the following anoying behaviour when loading pages on 3G/HSPDA. (using non-stock carrier provided rom AND modem)
Note: using a T branded rom seems to make no difference for me.
1. Big data Pages load a bit on H+
2. Pauses at some point. Sometimes for more than 5 seconds.
3. Network drops to 3G briefly then kicks back to H. Then finally H+ and the page loads quickly all in one go.
4. Annoyingly on the most data heavy pages in pauses AGAIN! just before it finishes loading.
I learnt a bit about TCP buffers and Kernel parameters that control them and came with this init.d script which, for me has MASSIVELY! improved the loading times on the browser by smoothing out the memory buffer.
Tested on Samsung JB leaks but should work on all Samsung roms... or not work but certainly not break anything.

Hope it helps guys!

So what exactly does this script change?

Will it work on Telstra? And what exactly does it do?

No harm in trying on Telstra. Just delete the init.d script if it's not good.
The script tweaks some TCP settings in /proc which change the memory buffers for HSPDA and other properties I found a good online tutorial and trial and error did the rest... have a look at the script!

Does this work for Vodafone UK??

Hey mate nice work. I have noticed when I flashed Omega v24 JB Rom or any JB Rom I loose my APN,s and when the phone first starts up after a fresh Flash, a pop up apears on my screen for about half a second and from what I glimpsed it said it couldn't get something from my Telstra network (Guess it is the APN,s it cant get). Is this because my Telstra GS3 is GT-I9300T and the JB Roms are cut from GT-I9300 that are not released in Aus yet? When I put my APN's in manualy I get my 3G/GSM internet back but Accu Weather cant find my location and FC's tried another Clock weather widget that I use all the Sense 4.0 style and it can't find my location (Auto or Manually no difference). So I flashed back to Omega v13.1 ICS and all is fine.Do you think your mod might help? PS. I also flashed Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 and flashed his Super Wipe script for a clean install thought it might help but no difference still no APN's.

Cheers - I will give it a go. Currently using Red Bull Mobile Australia which uses Vodafone.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Fast Dormancy as it really does sound like what it was invented for and happening due to your description, If so you might be able to turn it off with the FastDormancy Toggle for i9300 app on Play.
I've never noticed these connection problems on Optus but then again they don't support it but I think Voda/Telstra might since Telstra supports HD Voice while the others don't

Similar idea but more subtle. Keeping data flowing more e evenly was the goal. Specifically to eliminate the long pause and then big chunk download after

Should work. It's just an init.d script. Remove to disable

[ROM] PhaZer 0.5 Optimus T

[ROM] PhaZer 0.4 Optimus T
The focus of this ROM was to put together something for my LG-P509 that was functional and stable yet still had enough tweaks to make it fast and fun. I think that you will see that this rom does just that. I appreciate any input. and just want to thank all the people that contribute to this forum (I would not even have known how to turn on my phone without you guys). And if you like it kick up my thanks meter.
ROM Features:
1.Based on V10l Froyo 2.2
2.Used der_caveman's kernel - In my opinion this kernel is smooth.
3.Deodexed Apks
4.Zipalign Apks
6.Superuser
7.A2SD
8.HWacc on
9.JIT
10.Stagefright player off - I dont know why people turn this on.
11.Default launcher:Zeam - Light weight and functional.
12.Boot animation: Coin
13.Added /data/app functionality.
14.Added Apps2SD
15.Wi-Fi Calling - Unless you are using it turn it off (it eats battery).
16. local.prop tweaks
I recommend using SetCPU if you choose to over-clock (great app worth the purchase) - Over-clock at your own risk.
INSTALL:
Install this rom at your own risk. I am not at fault for any thing not working or your phone breaking!
*Do Not flash with clockwork*
1.Boot in recovery
2.Partition SD:
0.Swap
256 Ext(or higher)
Remaining:FAT32
Flash rom.
UPDATE: Phazer 0.5
Changes:
1. Removed shut down sound.
2. Added file manager.
3. Finally got rid of drive smart in settings.
4. Updated Zeam.
Download PhaZer 0.5 Optimus T
I am new to a2sd and would like to know how to partition ext in recovery? I assume partition is needed because of a2sd?

Sent from my LG-P509 using Tapatalk
this is great. finally an optimus t rom that's up-to-date. btw, i used adi4motions gingerbread theme and it works great... plus franco's kernel works ok with it too.. but this is a great rom for the p509, coz it has the wifi calling in case people want to use it. great stuff @lawful123
This is great! Just started messing around with the roms yesterday and I was sad to see I lost my wifi calling with pretty much all of them... Glad to see this rom out here today! Looking forward to updates if you plan on making them!
Well, I still like this ROM, but I'm having issues with the WIFI and I almost lost all of the pictures I took yesterday (not sure if that is directly related to the rom, but I would assume it is). I think I'm going to flash something else until if/when the WIFI thing is fixed.
There is no problem with the wifi. Even Wifi calling works. Maybe you didn't wipe before flashing. Or you got a corrupt download.
Sent from my LG-P509 using Tapatalk
Well, perhaps I should have been more clear on what my problem was. Wifi works fine as does wifi calling, but whenever I would wake the phone up after a period of not using it, the wifi wouldn't work unless I turned wifi off and then back on again. Anyhow, I did partition and wipe the card completely, and I guess a corrupt download is possible, but it seems unlikely.
Guess it doesn't matter now though since I switched over to Nessy.

What wifi fix are you looking at? I tried to incorporate the LOL wifi fix into UD4 & it still pulled battery too much.
Sent from my LG-P509_Custom using XDA App
If you turn off the wifi calling it does not eat the battery that bad. I am hoping to kick down the db on the wifi to save battery.
On another note, the online theme kitchen works well with this rom.

Continuum v6.1

I was wondering how to enable the 3g on my captivate. Im using Continuum v6.1, when I load my web browser it says 3g then turns off n says H. Is this a normal issue or should I flash back to a different rom. Sorry im fairly new to this and I didn't find anything related to my issue in the search
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
H stands for hspa. It is a faster form of 3g, it is capable of speeds twice as fast as normal 3g.
Oh really? That's great thanks man. Learn something new everyday.

[Q] Baseband for improving GPS on 9305

Sorry if this thread is mislabeled. I'm struggling to use Navigation on my i9305, the device spends a good 5 min hunting for satellites ("searching for GPS") before it eventually locks onto one. This happens both within the confines of a car and standing in wide open spots with clear lines of sight to the sky. Using GPS Test and GPS Status, I can see 6-7 satellites w/ healthy (green) connections but the Galaxy continues its relentless hunt. The result is excess battery usage (and heat), as well as very poor GPS performance that makes Navigation almost unusable. This occurs in areas where the wife's iphone 5 is able to start navigating (also using google maps) almost immediately.
Have tried to purge and redownload A-GPS info via the apps above, reboot etc but not noticing any improvement.
I've seen many threads about Androids + "searching for GPS" error messages. One suggests upgrading the radio (which I understand as being part of the baseband package?). I'm currently on I9305ZHALI2 (this is a retail HK device), is there anything newer? Whats the downside to using a non-HK kernel (if that's even possible).
Have you guys experienced this? How did you fix it?
Other possibly useful stats/info:
Kernel: 3.0.31-399890 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Tues Oct 30
ROM: Pandoriam v4.0 XXELKC
Baseband: I9305ZHALI2
Are you in Hong Kong?
If not maybe flash a different Modem from the Modem thread over in development forum.
You could try faster fix from the market or as your using Pandoriam chat to Btemtd about gps fix.

I am using the phone in HK, hence I'm wondering if an out-of-region modem/baseband would cause problems (if I use one from a region that uses diff frequencies)
Possibly, I wouldn't be able to say to be honest.
Faster fix did the trick for me.
You can choose your pool to one nearer you.
Or look on the Ripper ROM thread, there is a flashable zip called gps fix. I was getting a really bad lock before flashing this and now my gps is great!

Hi..
Perhaps trying this gps.conf would do it:
http://db.tt/ViSFRPfb
Its from rix rom ver 3.0. Now my gps is flawless. Lock in 3-12 seconds.
Are you rooted? If you are go to System/etc and replace this file with the one in that folder. It uses a universal time server it seems.
Good luck

use some troubleshooting tools to find whats happening, maybe some app runns wild for unknown reasons.
Check in development settings something with show cpu stuff, that can be handy for that. It shows cpu utilization etc. Any process nane there you can google.
if in doubt, go to settings, apps, running, turn some stoff there off, go to cached in same screen, repeat, go back and forth till you find the filthy process
at own risk off course.
its possible an app uses you data a lot and hoggs it, plenty of ways finding that out, like set everything to manual sync to eliminate.
check which apps use lots of data, etc.
Or root device, warranty now void, all own risk, get autostarts app and check those on connection triggered. Disable the buggers you wanna keep.
when culprit found, find developer thread or website and report the bug lol with proof its that app
Thanks for the info..will try these things out .

MJA update: Have you made the jump? What are the differences? Do you think it's worth

Just a general post to see if those of you who got the update to work, if you really think it's worth it? Is it one step forward, two steps back? Are you happy that you updated or sorry you did? No, this post isn't necessarily a question post, just one to get people's opinions on the update in one place and not scattered between a few threads. Mods, if you feel this is redundant, that's fine. I'm just trying to generate some activity and input from the users on the update.
I did it and it seems a lot smother. But then I cf-autorooted and restored a nandroid of carbon rom. Don't know why but I seem to get better service.

Works fine when first opened as in your screen shot, set it up and then open it and kill the app then try and reopen it. Half time closes on me. Un installed latest and reverted to previous update and works fine.

Also the new 3G and 4G icons are really nice. The keyboard enhancements are really nice.

3g icons suck big time. Looks like smeone took the small one and streched it in photoshop. Regarding benchmarking i scored this on antutu which makes me wonder how cheatfull is samsung on benchmarking. Am on stock 4.3 and rooted.
Agreed. The 3G icon looks aweful!!!
There are more fonts to change the phone to. Mobile Data is missing from the drop down. Reading mode was added. GSM data roaming was opened up while all roaming was turned off. It does feel much smoother.

You can update and keep root... I odined back to mf9 and used cf auto root to gain root access back. I then went into superSU and checked survival mode(keeps root even after ota). After that I downloaded the update and put it on my sd card. Once there I went into stock recover uodated from sdcard and now I have 4.3 still rooted.
