I've searched 2 forums & can't find a straight answer so I figured I would just ask...
I am trying to edit the http pd proxy(s) to get faster 3G speed but when I type ##3282# into the phone pad nothing happens
No popup box, nothing...the ##3282# disappears from the pad and nothing happens...I've waited about 5 minutes and nothing.
Anyone else have this problem or, better yet, a fix for this problem?
thanks in advance guys!
You are performing this on a sense rom?
Guarantee he isnt
First thing is you need to be on a sense rom for this. Also epst has to be included in it. Most do, but occasionally you find one with an updated version that doesn't work as well as the older version

Hey guys,
After rooting my evo about 4 months back ive neen through many roms, kernels etc. I have only updated the radio and pri once recently but never touched the winmax but recently ive noticed horrible signal strength sometimes texts wont even go through and im getting around 1-2 bars max no matter if im at or out somwhere.
So my question is what should I do to improve this would updating wimax help? Since ive never updated it since I bought this phone.
Im on cyanogen b2 supersonic mod which I flashed over a nightly because thats what da instructiins said.
Kernel: snap 7.6 turbo

45 views and no replies????!!!!!!!
if its just recently i would see if any friends have signal issues in the same areas... could be a tower issue.
otherwise i would go back to a stock 2.2 odex (it will jave latest wimax and radio in it.) and see if that helps.
if nothing works... it very well could br your phone.

Updating the WiMax radio will have nothing to do with your 3G/voice reception. That's a totally separate radio.
+1 on v_lestat's suggestion. See if anyone else is having problems, if they aren't I would try these steps (continuing on to the next if the previous didn't work).
1. Update profile
2. Reset profile in epst ##3282# (Need MSL) Edit Mode>Data Profile>Menu>Restore
3. Experiment with different radios until you find one that works best in your area.

Thanks for thr reply but can you explain in a little bit of detail like what will the epst do? And whats "MSL" lol

I saw someone post something today about a program on the market to get your msl. It's called MSL reader and will help you get that. You cannot edit details in the epst without it. If that doesnt' work, you can always call sprint and tell them you need it. There are a couple of threads on here for help if they aren't willing to give it to you.
In the epst you can change things pertaining to your data pofile, wimax settings, and misc advanced settings. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CHANGING. For what you need to do, just reset your user profile and then click OK to restart your phone.
I recently received a 004 hardware rev Evo with the latest HBoot. After rooting and flashing CM7RC0 (thank you Lithid) I found myself stuck in 1x RTT mode. Switching back to a Sense restored and enabled 3G once more. Going back to CM7, I once again would be stuck in 1x RTT.
The following solved my issue.
Flash a Sense based ROM to access ## codes and ...
1. ##3282#
2. Edit Mode
3. Enter MSL
4. EVDO
5. Preferred Mode
6. Set it to Automatic
7. Press Menu and commit modifications
8. Reboot
At this point you may go back and/or restore CM7 and 3G should be enabled.
To others stuck in 1xRTT mode in CM7, I post here hoping it helps others as it did me.
Probably a stupid guestion but how can I find my msl

You win.
May be old, but just tried this on my Shift and worked like a charm. Happily now running 3G on CM7, thanks!
I switched to SalvageMod and I am having the same issue.
I will try this later tonight.
Just did this, phone is rebooting now.
Was interesting tho, EVDO was set to 'CDMA', hopefully now that it's set to 'Auto' I will get better speeds and actually get 3G while on my GB ROM.
Holy **** it actually worked. Excuse my language.
Before I was hitting MAX 300kbps down over "3g" on Sense and 1xRTT on SalvageMod.
Did the fix and now Im getting true 3G and hitting 1-1.6Mbit down and around 0.5Mbit up.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
So, I dont know if Im imagining things, but it seems like I have worse battery life after doing this. Any ideas?
I actually was locked on 1x RTT after I spent some time on one of the CM7 nightlies. Even after I flashed a number of Sense ROMs I was still locked, at that point I figured it was my old phone and so I got a replacement, I wish I had seen this first.

Yep, pretty sure battery is suffering now.
Or you could just download network from the market. Easier than flashing a sense Rom and going back.
Also the battery drain is from changing it from cdma. That was one of the battery fixes for the evo, to change it to cdma, most people did it after rooting their phones. Now you are changing also affecting battery life.

I cant find an app simply called "Network"
Can you provide a link?
Use appbrain app market.

So network kinda broke my 3g, switched to cdma to try it out, then back to "auto". 3g icon is back but my data speeds are not
flashing to a sense rom right now to try this. Im on a 004 Evo as well running the latest MIUI and I noticed theres now way i can drive around from VA - Boston and not switch from 1x to 3g atleast once... hopefully this will change that.
Thank you! If this works it'll prove that it was an issue in AOSP ROM's. I was tired of people saying that Sense ROM's don't show true signal. It was a load of B.S. and I knew it was something else because I would flip between UD, CM, etc and it would still have the same issue.
Nice find dude. This should be a sticky or added to AOSP ROM releases until they can find out what's causing the issue in the ROM itself.
ok so i just implemented the fix. switching back to MiUI to see if it worked.
edit: now shows when i have 3g thanks. im guessing the extra battery drain is due to it now switching from 3g to 1x now. or constantly scanning?
Thanks a lot, finally can flash CM7 again.
I cant find this answer anywhere. But how can I reprogram my phone? Whenever I dial *22899 it seems to work then fails and when I do *228 option 1 it fails as well any ideas?

It also doesn't bring up the normal call screen it brings up the activation screen. I tried putting a different phone.apk in but it did the same thing.

Also ##778 no longer works. I tried putting Epst in system/app but that didnt help anything.
One thing that I have noticed is that when I am running a rom not built on the stock incredible sense like some of the DesireZ or Evo ports ##778 just calls verizon instead of pulling up Epst. Sometimes it just sits there doing nothing. I have also run in to this when using a ported dialer/phone.apk.
And this morning running IncRom 1.2 w/ Viva Cyan 1.2 and CyanDialerDragons, I get FC on Epst. It worked a few days ago on same build. Going to wipe and update my loadout today between shoveling and hope that fixes it again. I only open Epst to double check my DUN before tethering just to make sure all my flashing didn't reset it.
I don't know enough about what is really going on under the hood to help other than that, sorry.
Well thanks for letting me know its an actual problem and not just my phone being dumb. I actually tried to switch back to sense and my phone was being the buggiest ive ever seen so i figured that a sign to stick it out with Aosp.
Just found out if you dial *228,,1 or 2 it works still.
Try *228+

I'm using CM7 and I am experiencing very slow download speeds. On sense roms I would use ##data# to correct this but as we all know that doesn't work on AOSP roms so does anyone know anyways I could speed up my downloads?
ya i know how
WIFI is the way to go u better thank me
This is what finally worked for me-- just posted this earlier:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13478940&postcount=24
And the link to the fix: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html
Follow it to the 'T' .. it seems to be working for most. Dramatic 3G speed increases.
And, wrong section,
Does that trick work for CM7 roms?
I skimmed, but it says not for ASOP roms....
yes-- but fix is applied in a sense rom, then restore backup of CM7. It's all in the instructions.
EDIT. hah. I guess that's not in the instructions.
Ya, backup your CM7 setup. Flash a sense rom (I used Mik) , they do the fix following instructions exactly, then restore your full cm7 nandroid backup without wiping.
Also, try this, so you dont hit 1x. Go to your AOSP rom's dialer. Type in: *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone Information.
Scroll down to Set Preferred Network Type (you'll see its on CDMA auto(PRL))
We want to change this to CDMA only!
Then just back out and you should be set!
Odd.. i was happy with my speeds after fix, but plugged in the code just to look around, but didnt save changes. Noticed today my speeds are back down to 5kb/s down.
But the weirdest part is, when i punch in the code now, nothing happens.
Prl is still the same as before. Ill apply the fix again, but just curious...
You have to select cdma only and hit menu then select radio band.. it will force close.. go back and check and see if it saved..this is what I did and I worked for me
Or it might be the other way around idk give it a shot dude!

I am using cynogenmod 7 on my HTC evolution and it does not have a market. When I donwnliad a apk file it say something about sighning in then I press yes and It does nothing. It did not ask me to do the setup thing when I first flash it. Please helping
Your supposed to flash the gapps it comes with the market and.the rest of the Google apps
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
rom gapps
Where can I find the gapps I never done that before when I flash it before. Its would ask for Gmail info then start putting everything I need to run cynogenmod.
At the risk of being the total ass on this thread (don't bother to ask me if I care),
did you read the Cyanogen EVO 4G Full Update Guide or any of the how-tos here on XDA before jumping in to CM7?
Everything is there, if you take the time to look and read.
Luvin it
Cant wait for CM9! Quick question, is there a fix for the GPS for the Evo? I turn mine on, and it takes FOREVER to find my location. I've looked for a fix, and tried a few GPS apps. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue, or had a fix. Thanks for your time guys!

Flash a Sense ROM and do the GPS update and you'll be fine. Been running CM7 for a long time now and love it. No GPS issues after the update.
Sweet.
Thanks fellas, I'll give that a try!
