More data, less repetitive TCP headers. Same time frame, same TX/RX power, we get more data. :)

Yes, as I metioned earlier, the hack only works if the telco's backend supports the VJ compression. Sometime we may get better results when we tried the hack at the different places or cities, where the cell towers may support the feature. I also had the experience when moving from places to other places. But if you get worse result, revert it back to the original setting/option.

Most probably you are looking at /system/etc/ppp directory. You need to go into /system/etc/ppp/peers directory to find the pppd-ril.options file.

Good Luck. :)

Use connectbot or similar terminal app.

Code: 
su
cd /system/etc/ppp/peers
ls -l

Good luck.

This is a configuration hack, not a software. As I mentioned at the first post, this hack is for advanced user and developer who knows what to do. I only have RAZR XT910, and I don't have any access to GSII. I suggest you to ask GSII developers to read this thread, and ask them to make it available to GSII users.

Thank you. :)

    3) I am not showing how to change/edit the file.


    3 days ago, I did a change in /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options.

    This is the orignal content of the file.
    Code: 
    nodetach
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 1000
# Don't remove the user/password lines.  They are required to make PPPD authenticate itself with
# the BP when doing Simple IP (SIP).  The BP will replace the user/password strings with the correct
# values when authenticating to the network-side PPP peer.
user NotUsed@nobody.com
password NotUsed
crtscts
lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0
ipcp-max-configure 30
ipcp-max-failure 30
ipcp-max-terminate 10
novj
linkname ril

    Just by commenting or remove line 18,
    Code: 
    # novj

    we may able to get better 3G network speed. The change may enable the Van Jacobson style TCP/IP header compression. Your cellular network may or may not support this feature. My 3G cellular network (Celcom Malaysia, HSDPA 3.6Mbps) seem to be supporting this feature.

    Before the change, I got (down/up) 3.4/0.5 Mbps, but, after the change, the result is quite impressive as we can see in the screenshot. Sometime, I got about 2x of download speed when download podcasts MP3s, from 400 kBps to upto 800 kBps.


    Mbps : Mega bit per second
    kBps : kilo BYTE per second

    Anyone who tried this hack/mod either for 3G or 4G, please report your before and after results. :)
    Remember to reboot after changes :)

    Thank you

    Reference:
    $ man pppd

    If your device does not have the file, you can try the hack which I posted in post number 100.

    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42185612&postcount=100

    As ussual, please report your findings. Remember to put your device name, U/D speed before and after the hack. :)

    Hi, everyone.

    My RAZR XT910's panel cracked several months ago, and I don;t have platform to test further.

    Now, for temporary, I am using Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000, 2.3.6 GB Stock, rooted using Framaroot). Just now, I add an options file into /system/etc/ppp directory. I attached file in this post. Feel free to try. :)

    1) Attention, if your device NOT has /system/etc/ppp/options, you can put the attaxhed file into the directory /system/etc/ppp


    2) If you have the options file, Back it up first.
    3) Remove any novj nobsd .... options int the file.
    4) Append .or insert the contents of the attached file into the existing options file.


    Again, I tried this hack on Samsung Galaxy S. and I achived the similar effect :)

    Good Luck, and don't cry over here if you failed. :) You should know how to backup and restore from backup at the first place.


    I also like to thanks to everyone who tried and gave feedbacks.

    Please share this hack with others, especiallay the ROM developers, and remember to link back to this thread.

    Thank you.

    Updates:
    I attached screen capture of the Speed Test's results from Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000).
    We can see the data link speed improvements.
    There were mixed results, due to several factors.

    Didn't work for me.
    Guess it wont work if the operator is limiting the speed.
    Edit:
    Changed speed test server and it does work.
    Speed got x2 better than the fastest I ever got.

    Does the phone need to restarted after adding this file to the folder?
