Hmm. I honestly don't foresee this app doing much. All it appears to do is a build prop tweak.

I'll download and test it, but in general an app can't increase your download speeds.


SHE BLINDED ME WITH... your user picture. :flute:
now I have that song stuck in my mind.

Aside from that, I'm sure you're right about an app not doing much, but I have seen some tweaks on another phone of mine that helped a little. like by a couple hundred kbps.

I've been playing with it and haven't seen too much yet. My standards for it "working" are pretty tough though.

5 speed tests without it, 5 tests with it, and then 5 tests directly following it without again. Ideally there should be a large difference between the averages, and I like to repeat those 15 tests over a few days and with a few different roms as well.

Yeah, that's smart. Considering like at my house... in my room I get max 4mb/s but elsewhere it is like 4.5 - 5 mb/s; consistency in testing is really important. I'm not saying that it will help, I'm saying there are some tweaks that may. One thing I know is to find an app/tweak that kills background data so to streamline the data that is prioritized; i.e. downloading music from the play music server.
