Lol, i wish it was that easy but i love my evo. I thought there was away to switch my signal or to flash something besides radio but im a noob.

you can try a verizon prl..have you done that

No I haven't. I will look into that. I wish my phone could switch prls on the fly for best service on its own.

can u run a verizon prl when not roaming and not get into issues with sprint ? i know roaming u can get kicked off...how when not roaming ? can they even tell ur using verizon ?

Best radio fix for a weak wimax signal?

Has anyone tracked down a good radio fix when wimax doesnt stay connected? I know they have radio updates but does anyone have one in particular they would recommend?

No. Unless you understand the risks do not flash a new radio ("modem" in Samsung land), there is currently no way to go back to stock (EG30).

There was a thread here on tweaking that. You have to dial a number on your phone and edit something.

Tweaking the radio
I know there was a fix to tweak the radio by dialing certain numbers, but i'm curious if anyone has done it and saw a big improvement in their 4g signal.
Considering sprint will probably not expand wimax anymore, i'm screwed with this weak signal.

Both posts above are right. It is in here. I will try and post a link if I can find it. I did the same tweaks on my OG Epic and they work well for me. There are certain setups depending if you are always in a good signal area or if you want it to connect faster,etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Essentially you are looking to lower the threshold for signal strength to connect and raise the timers for disconnect. It's not going to make your signal any better. It's only going to make it more usable--maybe. It could also keep you "connected" and not transmit or receive anything. Not too sure how that would be useful.

Well, i know there are things you can type for sure, but i've never heard from someone that has tested it and said it improved their 4g experience.
Was trying to find a signal amplifier because i'm in a weak 4g spot, but i'm not spending 600 bucks for something i should be getting anyway with my "premium data" 10 dollar addition to my bill from sprint.
Pisses me off that they expect their customers to be happy they are switching to LTE. Me and my expensive wimax phone are so happy sprint is changing their cell tech to LTE..

They are useful if you are in a good or fair 4g area. I live in a full bar 4g area and shortened the connect time and lowered the minimum signal strength a bit. I used same settings that I had on my OG Epic. If you don't get it now it most likely wont do anything or MAY get you 1 bar if you are in a fringe area

3g speeds no longer horrible

So I've been playing around with some settings and after i changed my hdr/1x settings from Hybrid mode to Evdo mode I'm getting 1mps down as opposed to 0.10mbps on Hybrid mode. When on Hybrid speedtest app shows my connection as EvdoA, but in Evdo mode it shows Evdo0 and my speeds are pretty decent. Only catch is i can't send text messages. I understand Evdo mode = 3g, Cdma mode = 2g/1xrtt, and Hybrid = both working together. So is this a sign that maybe our bad speeds can also be from Hybrid mode not playing nice? If it weren't for me not being able to send text messages (mms messages work fine for some reason) i would force it to do strictly 3g..
Edit: Added two screenshots. 1st one on evdo mode and the 2nd on hybrid mode. All my test were back to back and performed the same. I find this strange. Well i just wanted to share my discovery lol...

Agreed. If anyone has any idea what to do about texting as well we may have something here.

RayTrue04, looks like we reside in the same area. Would be nice to see better 3G speeds in Hartford. I used to have a crappy LG Optimus T on T-mobile, and I got 2Mbps down. Then I switched to Sprint and the E4GT expecting to see better speeds, and Sprint's "4G" can't even compete with T-mobile's 3G speeds. I do love my E4GT though.

God bless ya Ray. If it wasn't for wifi at home and work I would be tinkering just like you.

Ever since the first Evo sprints speeds have become crap. And it's only getting worse with every new phone they release. Wimax is not so bad where I'm at but it don't penetrate some buildings well. I'm lucky I get 3 bars at home n my speeds top out at 10-12mbps.

If u read my original post thoroughly you'll see that i mentioned switching ur HDR/1x Selection from hybrid mode to evdo mode you get the evdo0. Cdma mode = 1xRtt (2g), Evdo mode = evdo0 (3g), hybrid mode = both working together and thats when it turns to evdoA..

+1...I can send sms and mms in EVDO mode. I actually ran 3 speedtests in EVDO mode and Hybrid mode rebooting after switching modes both times and actually had better speedtest results in Hybrid mode. Not sure if your on to anything here?

Is there a way to change PRL from phone?

might have been said already but i was wanting to change my prl to get faster data speeds while roaming at home. 1x isnt cutting it! I was reading in another thread something about EPST.apk? maybe for different phones not sure.. Im on cm9a4 and currently use roam control to roam.

Good question... I never thought to ask since it is such a specialized procedure I figured that was the only way to do it. I would love to be able to switch it in and our on the fly. Lol

most phones you can.. but on this one i dont think so, I havent been able to figure it out.. there is no ##prl# and it isnt in the epst program either..

There is no way to change prl from just the phone, sorry.
Korey's thread in general section has step by step how to do it with qpst program.

I generally stick with PRL 01115, which grants 3G roaming in most areas, paired with Roam Control to force roaming if I absolutely need it.

[Q] Anybody have working Wimax around Seattle?

I have flashed numerous ROMs and none have had working Wimax. I am in Everett/ Lynnwood and can't get wimax to even to last long enough to measure. I have tried a number of modems as well. EL 29, FF18, FG20 and even the newest one which was available thru the goodness updater. By the way has anyone figured out how to measure Wimax? I used to have the Evo 4g and got a great signal and the Evo would tell you if you had good or poor signal, however I have not found anything to measure 4g speed on my E4GT and without 4G I can't do the adjustments suggested in another post.

Thanks for the heads up on that, right now I am going through the different modems to see if one of them will work. Is it possible this E4GT is a dud? Although my daughter is still on stock EL29 and she has bad Wimax as well.
I did notice that if I kept toggling the 4g and ran a speed test that I sometimes got better results - so far I am at FC14 and sometimes I get 2+ mb down with a ping under a hundred. My area of Seattle sucks, as I just tried Clearwire and am sending it back as well. Does anyone know of a good app that will measure the wimax, the one one the E4Gt doesn't work very well compared to what HTC has. Well I have been working on this for quite a while so time to crash

If you go to settings than go to 4g it shows you your connection in bars like back on gingerbread. If you want to get a more accurate reading than ##DEBUG# is your best option. It gives you your connection status in dbm. Lock code is 777468 not your msl. You'll find it in Wimax DM.

Would be great but Wimax not coming on, so can't get to first base.

I can get in there with the lock code that you supplied - thanks so very much, however I can't modify anything because the Wimax DM says I need to turn on the Wimax and for some reason it will not turn on. Peace and thanks a lot.

In that same menu screen go to Wimax CT and click open device. After that scroll all the way down and click on both the load default and odb load default. This resets 4g back to default sprint values. Try that and then try turning on 4g and see if it works. Lil hint clicking on Wimax IP in that same screen will automatically start up 4g

Thanks to everyone who had advice for me. Took it to the store and they gave me a new refurb with working 4G, ain't Sprint the greatest, the tech told me that things burn up on the boards all the time, that I probably got the battery to hot or that the 4g part of the board just died for no particular reason (last billing cycle I did 4Gb of Wimax and 3+ Gb of 3g - that is why I stay with Sprint lol, no throttling and no warning call or text)
