Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] Radio tweaks?

[apeiiron]

For anyone that played with the 4g tool before, I know many thought it was a placebo but it actually gave me some better numbers. Do any of the more intelligent people here have any insight that would increase download speed? Went from 4-5 to the 2s and I haven't moved to another area lol

There's a couple I haven't messed with them on my s3 I know you are in the Brandon area like me my speeds have been consistent one thing is that metro is still tweaking towers so maybe there might be some slowdown in the process

Metro has been like that for a while, brake ish every other day. Was getting 6-7 mbps one day and 2-3 the next or lower.

What 4G tool are you talking about? I get very erratic coverage where I live so Id like to get it a try.

If you are talking about to see your speed, I use Speedtest.net

Actually I was talking about the tool that the first poster mentioned.

Gave it a shot but it didn't seem to do anything in my case. I'm in an area that gets pretty bad reception.

When i used it on the esteem i played with it for a good while before noticing a huge difference. Still curious if its plausible

Edit: played around with it and got more consistent speeds and lower latency, nothing significantly faster though.
