We’re all about showing you tricks and tips here and AndroidPIT. Today, we take a look and show you how you can speed up your Wi-Fi connection with a few tweaks! This can also work for 4G connections as well.\
Basically, this tweak will modify the Android file system that is used by Android to connect to the Internet. The file contains a TCP / IP configuration used for the interchange of data and by modifying this configuration, we can change the way our device connects to networks. With this change, depending on the device and the mobile network used, you could expect to see an increase in download and upload speeds while on Wi-Fi, 3G, and even 4G connections.
Requirements
Root Permissions: you will need this for the most reliable results. While the app in question that we can use does have a procedure that will work without root, there’s no guarantee that it will work as well the rooted method.
Sysctl.conf file : This is the file we're going to replace / copy in a system folder, which contains the connection parameters. Download it if you want to follow the manual procedure, otherwise the app will take care of everything. In the link you will find a screenshot of the path and the permissions that you must assign to it.
Internet Speed Master: Thanks to this application we can simplify the process by letting you to change the parameters. Those who do not have or do not want to get root permissions, can experience how Improve Internet Connection .
ES File Explorer (or equivalent): a file manager with root permissions in order to enter in the system folders and change file permissions, which is essential for the manual procedure.
Open it and allow SuperSU (or the equilavant) to give Internet Speed Master root permissions if you have them.
If you have root permissions, press the Apply Patch to apply the changes to the system automatically. If you do not have root permissions or want to try the first method less "risky", press Improve Internet Connection.
Copy the file on your device by connecting it to your PC or using the SD card, if available.
Install and open ES File Explorer (or equivalent) and make sure to allow it to have root permissions.
Now copy the file previously transferred by holding down and selecting Copy.
Enter the folder (device) "/ system / etc /" and and paste the sysctl.conf file there.
Change the permissions of the file sysctl.conf by doing a long press on it: More > Properties> Edit Premissions. Activate the permissions for Reading and Writing to the Owner and disable everything else.
Reboot the device.
Checking out the results
For a quick and dirty way of checking whether the speed increased, install the app Speedtest.net and run some tests both before and after you do the procedure.
oogle's awesome new email experiment, Inbox by Gmail, started out as an exclusive invite-only affair. But a few days after it was released to the few, it was released to many more, with a lot of invite requests being sent out to those that were quickest to request them. Then, a few days after that, three golden tickets appeared for the early birds to gift to their friends. Update: While the golden tickets evaporated within minutes of appearing, now they have been replenished, making those with Inbox by Gmail invitations to share suddenly popular again. We've shared how to get an Inbox by Gmail invite below.
It's still unclear if Google is replenishing golden tickets on a regular basis (with new invites appearing every Monday), periodically depending on when you gave away the last of your invites, or just randomnly, but myself and a few others at AndroidPIT found our stock of three invites magically renewed this morning as we settled in at our desks. For us that's been a week since we first had golden tickets to share.
If you haven't yet requested an invitation to Inbox by Gmail and don't have any friends with spare invites, you can still send an email to inbox@google.com to request one. A few days after you get invited you should have three golden tickets to share with friends, and a week after that it looks like your stocks will be refreshed. So you'll be popular at least once a week for the foreseeable future!
How to get an invite for Inbox by Gmail
If your firiend has Inbox by Gmail, the golden tickets are located above the compose button (the little red floating bubble). Just tap the golden ticket and enter a personal Gmail address (corporate accounts don't work yet). You only get three invites to start with, so choose wisely. Just don't go trying to sell an Inbox by Gmail invite for $200 on eBay.
