Wimax (4G) tweaks/3G Tweaks - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

In order to make changes such as these (There may be more or better ones listed for the Epic 4g but these ones are for the EVO 4g) follow these guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733773
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726877
First you will need your MSL. You can either go through the hassle of contacting Sprint and trying to get them to give it to you, or download a terminal emulator program from the market at follow these instructions:
Once in your preferred terminal program (connecbot, terminal emulator, etc.) type the following EXACTLY:
getprop ril.MSL
It should display your MSL.
From there you can do the 4G and 3G tweaks.
Turn 4g on, go to the dialer, enter ##3282# click view then click Wimax. Enter your MSL, scroll down and choose extensions from there. This is where you will change certain settings mentioned in the threads above. To change the following edits to suggestions below, just long press the option you want to edit and click write extension.
1. Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Scan_Retry(s)"
2. Enter the number 15 and click "OK" (This equals 15 seconds instead of 120 seconds, stock is )
3. Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Entry_Delay(s)"
4. Enter the number 0 and click "OK" (This equals 0 seconds instead of the stock of 300 seconds)
5. WiMAX_Entry_RX(RSSI)(dBm) - Default is -89. This is the minimum signal it has to be picking up to connect. I'm not sure what the best value here is, but the lower the number, the quicker the connect, since it will connect to a weaker signal. You'll have to experiment some with this, I recommend trying about -95 to -100 first. If it's unstable, raise the value closer to -89.
6. WiMAX_Exit_CINR(dB) - Default is 2. See the entry CINR value for an explanation of it. If the signal degrades to a CINR of 2, it will drop the connection. Change this to 1. This should let you stay connected longer. If you run into problems with staying connected but having an unreliable connection, change it back to 2.
7. WiMAX_Exit_Delay(s) - The default is 2. Since it's measured in seconds, that means if the CINR drops to 2 or below for 2 seconds, it will drop the connection. Raise it to 5. That should be enough to cover just a random drop in signal that will pick back up right away. That way you don't drop connection if you drive under a bridge or something (I'm rocking mine at 15s here, but it'll take any value up to 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes!)
8. EntryCINR, change from 0006 to 0004.
Thanks to Geniusdog254 and swatspyder for finding these tweaks!

That guy with the speed tests up there told me about them.... They are ridiculous. Dm mode and SDIO are fantastic! Thanks!

Not 100% sure, but one tweak I did use on the Evo 4g that I just tweaked on this device is the:
RTSP Proxy Address changed to 0.0.0.0
RTSP Proxy Port to 0
HTTPPD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
HTTPPD Proxy Port to 0
Stock is:
RTSP Proxy Address: rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com
RTSP Proxy Port: 554
HTTPPD Proxy Address: pd.vog.sprintpcs.com
HTTPPD Proxy Port: 8085
To get here dial ##3282#
Enter MSL

Click on Multimedia
It is suppose to help streaming and 3g. Try it, if it doesn't work go back to the stock settings above.

Im really curious if this works for 3g. No 4g in indianapolis and 3g speeds are usually 100kb.

I called *2 and first thing I asked was for this and she gladly gave it to me, as always it is hit and miss. If they don't do it, hang up try again. There are other ways but I think they all pretty much require root, I could be wrong though.

to the OP.. i dont have the phone yet but im wondering about the wimax settings myself.
first thing to try.. ##DATA# but instead of going to edit.. go to view. see if theres a wimax setting in there. it does NOT show up when u pick "edit". if there IS a wimax option under ##DATA# > view.. then it will most likely require your MSL.
another place to try is ##DEBUG# which will require MSL as well. there might be wimax settings somewhere in there.
one last thing i'd like you to try is to install AnyCut from the android market(free). open it and choose to add shortcut or whatever(forget the exact option) and it will give you a list of all the system apks/menus on your phone.. scroll down and see if there are any wimax options. if there are.. could you please list them? could you also make shortcuts for each wimax option you do see and run them to see if you find anything interesting.
please report back with details. you're my eyes on this for now

You are 100% correct. The wimax settings are in " view" and not "edit". This is the same way it was for epic1, now to get my msl? Does connectbot require root?

Isn't it getprop.ril MSL in terminal? Not 100% certain but I did the 4G tweak on my Epic and it made a big difference. Let me search for the thread from the Epic forum that has a full how-to..

Alright, with you last paragraph I think I may have found it. Here is what was listed and here is how to do it (you have to have 4g on in order to make changes however):
WiMax CT
WiMax DM
WiMax Mode Change
WiMax_CFG
WiMax_CFG
WiMax_NETEST
WiMax_RC
WiMaxLineTest
In order to make changes such as these (There may be more or better ones listed for the Epic 4g but these ones are for the EVO 4g) follow these guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733773
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726877
Download Any Cut from the market, open it and choose New Shortcut, then choose Activity. Scroll down to WiMax_CFG (the first one, there after two listed) and it will create a shortcut on your home screen. Open that and select Extensions and make the changes from the threads above in that menu (just long press what you want to change and click save, it will automatically change it). You might have to reboot your phone in order for them to actually take but I'm still not sure if this all works.

It also looks as though you may be able to adjust frequencies. I'm tempted to test them. In wimax_cfg the first one under MRU you'll see 4 sts of frequencies and you can edit then it seems.

A different route I found is to turn 4g on, go to the dialer, enter ##3282# click view them click Wimax. Enter your MSL and choose extensions from there.

To get your MSL code, download terminal emulator from the market and typs:
getprop ril.MSL
The output will be your MSL number.

[Q] About to throw this damn thing against a wall... any help welcome.

To start, I AM searching and trying to find any and all information that could possibly help me out.
I rooted using unrevoked. Used Calk's rom, switched to netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal-signed, made several nandroid backups (one including the RSA keys, although the backup made when using unrevoked made one of the RSA keys also), tried Ava-Froyo, went back to Calk's. Also tried the PRL hack.
Im new to all this but am fairly technically inclined and understand, so I think, these processes. Of course Im still learning obviously...
....cause somewhere along the line I lost the ability to get incoming calls !!!!!!!
I can still make calls (my number comes up on caller ID correct), send texts, use the net, email, and use wifi tether.
When i make a call it triggers something cause all my texts, mail, and voicemails come streaming in all at once.??????
Im at my wits end, and probably will be up all night trying to fix it.
I found some values in my advanced settings after dialing ##3282# that were different and wonder if thats the problem.
if someone will post me their info from the ##3282# screens (off course omit your phone number under advanced) that would be awesome !!!
S is still showing off.
I have gone back to:
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed
and then:
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459
and then the over the air update to 2.2
still not working....
I really dont want to go to the friggin Sprint store....
And any other advice where to steer my searching and efforts would be greatly appreciated !!!!!

HDR is what's preventing you from receiving calls. After you make the above change, go back into ##3282# and confirm that evdo is set to "automatic"
These network settings carry over regardless of rom's. You can flash til you're blue in the face, problem won't go away

ok, getting incoming calls now.
i switched to automatic under evdo and also in the advanced settings changed the phone number to my actual phone number and this time hit menu>commit changes.
yeah, now to check everything else!!!!
didnt know about the commit changes thing, i was wondering why nothing changed when i edited them.
also under settings>system updates i updated PRL and PROFILE after this.
crossing fingers!!!!
Thank God for nan back ups, now i can reroot and be back in business in no time !!!!!

ok, now im stumped!
something keeps changing my friggin phone number in my advanced settings in ##3282#
i can change it, commit the change, update profile and everything will be fine and work (get calls).
but then when i reboot it will switch back !!!!
i havent installed, to my knowledge, any rogue crap.
what in the blazes could be causing this???
Are you changing it in ##3282#, or in the network settings that evio 2 1.80 gives access to?
Try changing in network settings, not in ##3282#.
Also, if you want, there is an option in ##3282# to completely wipe the settings. I can't remember which heading it's under, but you need to hit menu and it'll say something like reset settings, or reset something.
I had a simular issue. Unroot the phone flash the ruu then OTA then call sprint tech suppeort and ask them hard resset your phone. It helped me. should help you to. here is how 2 unroot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot
Seems like an awful lot of work to fix this.. I'd exhaust other possibilities before going through all this trouble.
My phone is done. My phone wouldn't call or text earlier so i did a reset on the ##768# screen or whatever so it would run hands free activation again. It failed out. Erased all of my data from the epst screen. Can anyone help? Phone will not connect to data

Did you happen to have your number ported over from another carrier when you got your Evo?
Yes, it was ported. But the number listed in there wasnt the old number. Anyway my phone has been working now, with that old number in it...so...
The only thing is that when on data network it show 'EvDo' all the time, never '3G'. Is this a problem? I have been tring to read up on it and it seems fine, but everyone else's Evo's here seem to show 3G.
Im still trying to locate the original settings so I can compare exactly what I see when I do the ##3282#.
Thanks again for you help!

I've reprogrammed about 12 total devices and they were all experiencing the same issue, including mine. What's funny about it is that even searching for the videos works while on 4g, just streaming it doesn't work. All other streaming apps work fine.
I've done data restores on all those devies and also factory resets, still not working. Every device has same prl same YouTube same firmware
I'm not sure, but I tried checking logs to see what was wrong...i don't exactly remember what the code was...the same problem happened when trying to watch YouTube through the browser as well...I'm just glad I found a temporary fix...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Youtube seems to be working fine on 4g connection for me. Completely stock. Unless it somehow switches to 3g when it starts streaming. I highly doubt it, considering I usually turn 4g on before watching videos because 3g is just too slow.

Can I get faster speeds on boost

I am curious I f I can use this method:
tropicalbrit said:
Let's get you some good data speeds. First, go to Settings - System Updates - and update PRL.Once that finishes, reboot.
Go to Market and get MSL Reader. Open the app. If it asks for "Superuser Privileges" then accept. It will tell you a 6-digit code. This code is unique to your phone. Write it down, but you can always get it again.
Go to Phone (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode) and enter your MSL code
select Data Profile
Hit the menu button and choose restore.
Just sit there, your phone should reboot. If it doesn't, then hold the power button and reboot.
Your phone should do "Hands-Free Provision". Once it says your phone has been provisioned, hit "Okay".
Once it starts to check for PRL update, hit cancel.
Go to Phone (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode) and enter your MSL code. Select Advanced, scroll down to RTSP Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Port. Click on them, set them to 0 (zero).
Set RTSP Proxy Address and HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
You should now have about as good 3G speeds as you can have on Sprint.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to increase 3G Speeds on my boost phone without interfering with my boost flash.
Thanks for the help!
Idk if that'll help or not but if it doesn't, you could try the 3g turbo charger. It's a script that you can run using script manager from the market.

(Q) Sprint MSL unlocks DATA but not DEBUG

Used the method posted here to get my MSL. It worked great to open the ##DATA# menu to remove the sprint proxy. However, when I use it to unlock ##DEBUG# I get the invalid code errors. Sprint game me an alternative MSL which didn't work. I have terminal emulator and the sprint msl .zip.
Any thoughts?

you dont need the lock code
You can access the debug menu without the lock code by using anycut from the market. Add a shortcut to IOTHiddenMenu(screenshot below). Gives you access to all that fun **** w/o the dialer codes or lock codes.

I just posted the sprint lock code for the debug menu. It is the same for all sprint s3's. It is not the MSL. It is the one I posted above.

The 777468 is the code needed in the debug(##33286#) menu. The msl is the one for the data (##3282#) menu
ok i got it to work to use Get My MSL you have to update you busybox, but default just a regular root seems to install busynbox 1.20.1 you have to upgrade to 1.20.2 and the get my msl will work. just tried it and got my msl coded you can download the latest busy box from the market.

works like a charm had to speed of my 3g since no LTE coming to colorado for who knows when. if you try it allthe portsettings are under multimedia
then you can put in the following
1. Get your MSL, by calling Sprint or by using CDMA workshop like i explain below
2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#
3. Click Edit Mode
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting
6. Change RTSP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You can leave this blank if you like
7. Change RTSP proxy Port to 0 (Zero)
8. HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You could leave this blank if you like
9. HTTP proxy port to 0 (Zero)
10.Go enjoy Downloads and a .20-.60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!
NOTE for Samsung Galaxy S3 the Default under multimedia

You are better than sprint!
Sprint kept telling me that the unlock code was the same as the MSL. Thanks everyone! I still can't get my data much above 20k (often lower than that). last night until this morning it was over 1MBs, but no more. The data is HORRIFIC. I wish I knew how slow slow really was (slower than dialup!).
No, the unlock code is the code for the ##DEBUG# menu. The MSL is the master subscriber lock that is used under the ##DATA#. Take a look at this thread to see how to get the MSL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745888&page=3.
By chance did you take the OTA update since you were getting 1.0Mbps? Look at your baseband and see if your last 3 say LG2. If they do it might be the OTA that killed your speeds. Search about it and you will find the way to revert if you are having issues.

Thanks for the input. I did update the baseband, but the speeds were slow. Sprint officially said that the network is seeing "a lot of traffic" in my area. The good news is that in 2 weeks they'll do a data upgrate to the local tower (I've heard that before). And in 7 months we get a T1 line! (Only will help marginally, if at all).
I think I'm going to start working to get out without paying ETF. I'm trying to find the contract's arbitration provision to go that route if needed.
If anyone else is in doubt, DON'T GET THE SPRINT GALAXY S3, THE DATA IS SLOWER THAN DIALUP!!!! (I get 8-20k down 123k up most of the time, even on the weekends).
That is a matter of opinion though. I live in the Atlanta area and my S3 is giving me 30 down on LTE and on 3g I get 1.5 down.

thanks for this info. I can tell a difference in signal. Is there anything I can do in the debug menu to help as well?

You can access the debug menu without the lock code by using anycut from the market. Add a shortcut to IOTHiddenMenu(screenshot below). Gives you access to all that fun **** w/o the dialer codes or lock codes.

Dang, that's cool, unfortunately there is no 'activity' for that menu on the Galaxy Nexus (Sprint). Can't find one for Debug, or 1x Engineering.

No 3G only 1x - Cloned ESN Swap

Okay, I have a GS3. I swapped the ESN (Evo 4G) and now I can't get 3G
The only time I have 3G is on a stock Rom with the MD4 Modem but even than it feels like 1x.
I've tried all the radios, with no luck including the MD4 one. I've been trying to get it working the past two days now with no luck.
Someone PLEASE, please PLEASE help me?

do you have the MSL? Try going to ##data# and making sure everything is set up correctly and even doing a ##debug# and see whats going on there.Make sure you have your radio set to cdma/lte/evdo

I do have the MSL
I'm not exactly sure what I should be seeing in the Data menu, but I have gone in there a few times turning things on and off to try and get things working, otherwise I switch is back to default.
Okay,I can try to help for what I know,what was the purpose of you cloning the esn?

My uncle's names on our account and I payed my portion of the bill, he decided to quite halfway through the contract so I cloned it to get back on Sprint.
Any help you can give me is much appreciated. I can't stand this 1x :/
Does anyone think it could have anything to do with the donor phone?

Im not on sprint, but what does it show as the Mobile network type under Settings: About Device: Mobile network type?
I was messing with my phone and had changed the settings in ##DATA#
I was getting 1x only so I had to change the HDR/1x Selection under Data: Others. Hybrid works the best for me, but you could try changing to "LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode. When I selected CDMA only then it only got 1x and not full EVDO/3g.
If that's not it did you have to enter the HA & AAA secret keys to get data to work?

Earlier OP said he is not sure what he should be doing is ##data# menu, maybe I can break it down
Do ##data# on dialer
click on edit
type in msl
enter in 6 digit MSL
**To Enter HDR/1x Selection Stated Above**
Select Other > Select HDR/1X Selection > Select Mode( Try LTE + CDMA + EvDO, if that doesnt work try hybrid or global mode)
Just browse the data menu but do not touch korean mode ever.
for HA and AAA Keys noted aboved its within the Data Profile in the menu of MSL,
let us know if this helps,going to be honest I am a noob but I can research these things as I have been doing so passively trying to fix my own problem
Thanks for the help guys. I was messing around the other day in the settings and somehow wiped my username and MSID. I got the username back, now I'm trying to get the MSID so i can get my phone back on Sprint. I"m an idiot sometimes... lol
As soon as I get back on Sprint I'll let you know how it works out!
Thanks again
To get msin you can just do phone activation through menu and if that doesn't work a sleight tech can provide a new one
