ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5

It sounds make sense, modifying the RIL parameter. However I found those 3 lines a little bit .... maybe the first two lines are unnecessary due to our device is not HTC? And for all those lines, i think there should be no blank spaces between characters. I might be wrong though

dw I did my research and testing b4 I posted and every entry has some effect on signal strength

I posted em ages ago, they are in steves streakmod rom

the bitmask ones won't make a difference, as they aren't valid for the streak..
If you're seeing a difference its placebo I'm afraid

Hey, I'm on SD 1.7.0 and I don't see them in my build.props? Should they be in there or did Steve already include it somewhere else in the ROM and therefore no need for me to add it to the build.prop?

Thank you.

When I saw this on DJ_Steve's StreakDroid thread, I tried it. It broke my data connection. I had no WiFi and no 3g. I deleted the edits, and everything worked fine after that.

I might go back and try it with the double - reboot, though.

they arent in 170, they dont work for everyone..
in earlier roms they were in /etc/local.prop

but I guess we'll have a new thread with someone proclaiming they found local.prop works for prop settings as well :P

So, to try these out, put them in build.prop, do a double reboot and if it didn't break anything, then keep them? Else remove them and double reboot again?

Worked on my US unlocked streak on 1.7.0. Don't know if it really changed anything. Speeds are about the same and signal strength looks the same. Wifi still works fine.

UPDATE: Spoke too soon wifi broke. Connects to my router but no data. Uninstalling.
