Speed Up Your Data!!
 

Hey Geeks! :D
I saw something on pocketnow.com about this reg tweak:

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Internet Settings
On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:
Value name: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Value data: 32
Base: Decimal
Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer
Value data: 16

It had a link to the original thread on xda here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=4589639

I was curious and checked my registry and I already had the second dword value but not the first. I added the first one and I have noticed a positive improvement. :)
I thought I would try to spread the word.
BTW There is a cab available in the thread on xda if you don't wanna add the values yourself. ;)

No problem! :D
Let me know if it does anything.

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

kinda curious to see if that would work

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

saw this posted here before, does this work for pei, opera, or tethered?

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

I don't doubt ya or anything friend, but is this for CDMA/GSM, and has anyone tested it yet?

It was posted in the touch pro area over on xda. I am cdma and I only had to put the first dword value in because I already had the second because I believe it is put in by Schap's Advanced Config. So far I've noticed faster page loading.
Basically, from what I have researched about it, it increases bandwidth so more images and symbols load faster rather than two, three, or four at a time it loads many more. :) Try it and see. You can always just remove the values. That's why I didn't post about it until I tried it first so I knew it wouldn't screw something up! lol
It should help on all data connections. :D

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

This tweak has been around for a while now and is cabbed up:

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

I loaded that cab last week and it definitely made my data connection faster. If i had thought about it, I would have done a speed test before and after. My GF has the same phone and I haven't loaded the cab on hers yet. Maybe I can do a speed test this weekend and post the results.

Hey, great!
That's why I initially started the thread because even though the tweak has been around a while I only had half of it and I thought others might not know about it either.
Yes, don't be afraid to post results positive or negative. I'm curious what others experience.

Thanks Hypnotic for posting that cab. :)
I hope it has the same reg edits as what I posted.
FYI in the link I posted in my first post there is a cab in post #83 of that thread that supposedly has the exact edits. ;)

Here:

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

Well, i looked into both of those .cab files (Sh4 and Dearmas) and noticed that they both had the same edits, only difference was Sh4's reg edits were changed in HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/internet settings, and Dearma's were changed in HKCU/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/internet settings.
So I made a .cab that will make that change in BOTH locations. Let me know if there is any improvement.

Anybody else try my original edits?
I'm definitely getting faster speeds. :thumbleft:

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

I installed the cab, and its not like OMG faster, but a little bit

Yep, same here.
Any improvement is good. IMO :D

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

Same here ... seems a little faster, and that's a good thing. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

its a little quicker

thanks horndoctor

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

definitely agreed on that one

Mixed results here. The first "mobile speed test.com" test I did, I ended up with something like 320 kilobytes per second, but when I did the half megabyte filesize test, I jumped to 517kilobytes per second - yaaay! The 1mb kept us barely in the 500 kilobytes per second range. Couldn't tell you if it helped or not, because this is my first try back home after activation, but I will say I was in the mid to high 300 kilobytes per second back then.

Thanks (if it helped, that is, LOL!). Oh, and if it helps, I had the second item in the registry too without having to manually add it afterward.

of course lol

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

Thanks!

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

My system already had the second dword as well. I added the first one Dword and did simple mobile speedtest from DSLreports before and after.

I am on Sprint and this tweak definitely made my speed much worse ! Before the tweek I was getting 800-900kbs, after it dropped to half that !

I deleted the dword, ran it again still about 500kbs, soft reset, still 400-500kbs, soft reset again, still 500kbs. One time performance was worse than 200kbs. Finally after going in to connection manager and setting data connection off, then restarting opera, I finally got back to 800-900kbs ! Whew ! Had me scared there a minute.

Not recommended by me ! Thanks anyway !

Why don't you try a larger filesize on the speed test machine. The larger the filesize, the higher the score. Also, if you are in an area with low signal strength, it will be significantly slower, if not fail altogether. According to our coverage map, the signal is supposed to end about three houses down from where I live, but I can do SMS, voice, and very limited EvDo if you sit in the right spot (but there is no point of having EvDo at the house anyway, because WiFi is many times better than EvDo at its highest signal strength, LOL!).

Re: EvDoing Reply
 

I use the largest file on the simple speed test. It fails if I use the smaller ones and tells me to use a larger file.

Lets do an experiment real quick: Try it on a standard network (either through ActiveSync or WLan), and we'll go from there.

I'm doing my tests using my sprint internet connection. Is that what you were testing and is that what you thought this speed boost was supposed to improve? It definitely made things worse in my case!

That is really all I care about, occasionally I use wifi router or tethering to provide internet to my pc from my phone, but that's the exception, not the norm.

Re: MOVING RIGHT ALONG Reply
 

I'm just trying to see if it is slowing things down universally.

The tweak I posted won't necessarily show drastic speed increases using speedtest websites. Basically it just makes the portal wider which should help loading speeds. You will probably see inconsistant results with speedtests. The thread that this tweak was first posted in on xda came to this conclusion. ;)

Holy crap. Is that tethered?

Was this your result from the tweak or are you just bragging?
lol

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

I don't even see an option to choose a 2mb file

LOCALE Reply
 

If you're on a fast enough connection, it appears after a test (usually after a couple tests actually). On the 2MB, my EvDo maxes out around 800MegaBytesPerSecond if I remember correctly. It was a bit above the "par" for EvDo on the "MobileSpeedTest.com average", but I never realized people were getting things to go this fast. Maybe he lives under a tower or somethin', LOL!

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

what happened to all the geeks??@#? I'll stop short at calling that a misleading font. it reads 1684 kilobits per second, which equals 210.5 kiloBytes.

to date; ALL digital network speed is measured in bits not Bytes.

Where democracy fails networks don't. Every bit matters.

BITS AN' BYTES Reply
 

So that means my reading was slightly above or slightly below his?

- 2 Bunny

Re: Speed Up Your Data!!
 

umm, not sure what yours actually was. 800 megabit would still translate into 100 megabyte so that's not real. I'm assuming it was 800 kbit which would translate into 100 kilobytes/sec.

I've always peaked out around ~2000 kb(it) or 300 kB(yte) peak on cdma 3g.


1 Mb is only 128 kB

AVERAGE Reply
 

So what about the MobileSpeedTest.com "Averages"? Are those just way below average?

- 2 Bunny

Re: AVERAGE Reply
 

not sure about the averages, but speed tests are just a snapshot. I've never used that site much, and generally always check multiple test sites. on my go-to list is
1. 2wire.com -quick easy
2. dslreports.com/speedtest - any test you want including a list of test servers by country/state
3. nasa.gov - you can download large images to gauge you speed. they have some of the fastest servers and bandwidth priority publicly accessible.
