save the file

adb remount
adb push c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\build.prop /system/

reboot so that the settings take effect

Stampere suggested this over in Paul's thread with no replys. The hxspa and gprsclass are not included in the Froyo build.prop anywhere I can see. They were included in CM 5.0.6.

Has anyone added these to Froyo and do they help or are they unnecessary and will conflict with the new Froyo 4.0.6 radio build?

I added the first two and it helped a lil....wondering the same thing tho....

Are you sure all those options are still relevant? My froyo image has none of these and performs well. I can get higher throughput by adding

ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12

But the rest are largely undocumented and should remain at default unless someone can prove what they do.

The biggest issue is the radio. With Froyo, my 3g disconnection issues are GONE, so now we can focus on latency and throughput.

This is my point exactly. While I'm still getting some Edge flipping on Froyo radio in weak signal areas like work building, if the throughput is higher then why not add it? I don't think it can hurt anything

The rest are "relatively" undocumented as Cyanogen said he didn't know what they did, therefore he wasn't going to mess with them. My 2 thoughts were:
(1) If throughput were increased, would power consumption decrease as data would be transmitted and completed faster...or
(2) Would adding additional code lines conflict with the current image somehow as they were obviously left out on purpose?

Since this has been confirmed as a test build, perhaps some of these other properties will show up in the official build?

I too have better connection with the froyo radio - but weak throughput. I'll research and try some of these and report back if I find anything positive.

I added the hsxpa and gprsclass entries to my build.prop and will test also when I get out of work into a 3g environment, lol. I had modded this in CM 5.0.6 and played with hsxpa settings of 1 and 2. 1, I believe is WCDMA preferred and 2 is universal or something like that...

my only question would be are these changes necessary, or does the device already have the settings hard coded. as in, did the carriers add these lines to some devices to level the field between the power users and the casual user.

need at least class 14 hsdpa to access tmo hspa+ 21.1 mbps

Just Google hsdpa, hsupa, hsxpa
You need to choose the appropriate category for your local network.
I forget which is which but the category number is representative of the download/upload speeds you are capable of while on edge, 3g, beyond 3g, hsdpa.
For me, T-Mobile in Madison, Alabama,
GPRS= category 32
Hsdpa= category 14 (this doubled my speed on mobile speedtest.com!)
Hsupa= category 7
Hsxpa= category 2
I always add these to my build.prop and yes its because when I first saw them in one of Paul's desire roms, I googled each of them and tested and I can definitely tell the difference.
Good luck

definitely got faster UL and DL speeds with the text I bolded

Interesting... not sure itll be a good idea or even make a difference but Ill give this a try and report back my findings... If I may add though, an easier way to edit would be through root explorer app from market.
