Data speed increase (wifi/3g/4g)

[MДЯCЦSДИT]

This is a known linux tweak and I have tested it on the epic and there seems to be mixed results. BTW, YMMV so don't go blaming me for messing up your phone... The zip is made for my rom but will most likely work on all others (even AOSP).
Open up /system/etc/sysctl.conf (make it if it isn't there)

Add the following...

net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0
net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 187000 187000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1

Flashable zip if you don't wanna make it yourself: acs forums are directing to the wrong download...

Will this work with cyanogen mod?

c'mon nandroid and find out! soon as i reboot i am experimenting!

Chris41g actually put this in his eh17/eh06/eg22 plus kernels. So, if you ever had a net boost with the plus kernel, that's why.

Sweet!
Can anyone make a flashable zip of this pretty please for us lazy people?

 

[ksmullins88]

anyone confirm this working?

 

[socos25]

I can confirm I pushed it into system\etc and there was a file already there by that name. I didn't compare them.

As far as speeds go I can definately see an improvement. Lately it has been in the 300k on average. Tonight I clocked in at 848kbps down, 676 up, and it has stayed there repeatedly.

Funny thing is I didn't add the above like he said. I just replaced the file with that. I'm probably lucky it is still working.

This would impact your TCP stack - 3G, Wifi, and 4G.

EDIT: I see the title was edited from the original "3G Fix" and OP now says "known Linux tweak". I just wanted to clarify why I said the above. Always check the impact on Wifi as well.

 

[socos25]

Okay, I added back what was in the file before and everything seems good. Speeds are better than they have been, but who knows.

Just wanted to add that my last three speedtests have avergage over 1200kbps down 500kbps up. I never get those kinds of speeds at work, so I think this is definately an improvement. But with anything time will tell.

Zip coming when I get home.

What do you create this with?

 

[toadlife]

Wow.

I'm always skeptical of these kind of tweaks, but..

Pre-tweak download speeds: 590,290,413
Post-Tweak download speeds: 941,684,1012,741

It could still be be coincidence though.

I'll continue to run tests throughout the day and see how it goes.

I dont have this file in my system. How do you create and push this? Is it a simple text file? ???

 

[MДЯCЦSДИT]

What do you create this with?

Notepad ++ on windows. Most text editors (preferably one for coding) on linux. I don't code on mac so idk...

I just used notepad and saved it as a text file. When I pushed it to my phone I had to rename it and drop the .txt extension. It seems to have done the trick and I am impressed so far.

*fistshake*

I just made a package of this and was going to post it.

I didnt see a difference at all. Nothing significant anyways.
