[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Need root for that, unless YOU have root already. Lucky lol

I did actually use it on my old evo today just to make sure I had both Evo's MSL in a safe place.
[HTC EVO 3D] Childofthehorn:
I know - just read my mistake - still doing dev work on my normal EVO and confused myself.....
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
Okay I got it from Sprint. Just took another call, like always. Off topic, but what's up with the unchecked USB charging?
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Not sure but mine charges off usb so I paid no attention to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] yoboii23:
I got you guys!

1. Connect your phone to computer and dial ##3424#

2. Go to device manager and double click modem.. you should see something named HTC USB modem #2 if you see that do a right click and click propeties (it might freeze for a few seconds, if nothing happens try again.)

3. Once the propeties window opens click on the tab advance.

4. Look for Advance Port Settings, and click it.

5 .A new window should open.. now u should be able to see the option to change the COM Port its called COM Port Number... Make sure you change it to port 9 and below... Once you done changing the port press ok, ok and exit device manager

You succesfully change your port! and now you are able to use CMDA Workshop!
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisM0678:
Can someone post the original proxy setting, I want to go back and see the speed increase difference.
[HTC EVO 3D] yoboii23:
Click here =)
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisM0678:

[HTC EVO 3D] craig.pulliam:
VERY interesting....I changed my wimax bandwidth to 5,5,5 from 10,10,10 and it instantly connected to 4G....I've NEVER had 4G at my girls house but now its connecting

EDIT:not sure if it really did anything. I changed it back to the original setting and its still connecting. May just be a better wimax radio/driver/whatever in the phone itself
[HTC EVO 3D] mswezey:
my bandwidth is already at 10,10,10
[HTC EVO 3D] craig.pulliam:
I changed it from 10,10,10 to 5,5,5
[HTC EVO 3D] kindakrazy:
this works!!! doubled my data speed :)
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
I love information like this. It's glorious!
[HTC EVO 3D] HeckNoTechnO:
I have drivers install phone connected to port 4 when i hit read it displays "Phone ask for SPC. SPC (6 digits) is required. Check "security" tad-"SPC" section."
[HTC EVO 3D] mikldom:
Good Job

Great job with the screen shots!!!.

Installed the driver, ran cdma workshop.. went into my device manager to see what com port it was installed on, changed it to the com port, then hit connect, followed directions, hit security, then hit read, and bam!! msl there..

disconnect, and then followed the directions on changing the proxy info.

I will report if I notice a speed increase later.

Thanks!!
[HTC EVO 3D] campchi:
Why go thru all the hassels just call sprint and they will give it to you..
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisM0678:
Agreed
[HTC EVO 3D] jlip5617:
called sprint for msl, they gave it to me with no questions asked. i am seeing faster data speeds like everyone else. thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] yoboii23:
Not all people are the same.. Some of us like to learn new stuff, tricks, info n some of us don't..

You might not get the MSL from Sprint for whatever reason.. Each person has their reasons

But yeah I guess u could always call Sprint ;)... Unless is really late at night and you can't wait to change your settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
I thought you got the MSL code when you activated over the web. I have the "6-digit programming code" but it isn't working. Is that the right code?
[HTC EVO 3D] yoboii23:
If is not working, maybe that's not it.. When I bought this phone, Best Buy gave me a paper with info about the phone, and there I saw a Security Lock Code of 6 digits. I thought that was my MSL code, but it never worked.. Until i check with CDMA Workshop, it was a whole different code lol..

I mean you can always try this method.. or call Sprint but I think is to late for that.. It wouldn't hurt :o
[HTC EVO 3D] clavoie26:
Went from 512 half a mb to over 1 mb download sweetttttttt.......
[HTC EVO 3D] sleepy8594:
Msl reader from the market don't work?
[HTC EVO 3D] poxin:
It only works on rooted phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] sleepy8594:
I'm sorry. That was a stupid question.. I am so used to being rooted, I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] mallman:
Did with workshop and my dl was 2.4mb but I also have an airave
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
OP: Could you also put in the original post the default items that are suppose to be in the blanks. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] regulator207:
Original settings

rtsp proxy ip: rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com

rtsp proxy port: 554

http proxy ip: pd.vog.sprintpcs.com

http proxy port: 8085
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
.thanks for the tip. I even snuck the changes onto old wifey's. Sweet

Also, I'm pretty sure Airave is not used for data as posted above.

...i miss the trackball
[HTC EVO 3D] jfenton57:
Followed all the steps, committed the changes and my DL speed is still at 800 no matter what darn sever I use.

So...reset all settings to original, re0-entered the 0.0.0.0 and the 0 and tried it again.

Same thing.

Got rid of the 0.0.0.0 and left it blank in both areas, committed changes and still no improvement at all???

Just did a battery pull and still no difference trying servers both near and far
[HTC EVO 3D] yoboii23:
There.. like requested ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Sortilege:
Agreed... I could have called sprint but was MUCH more fun to learn something new.
[HTC EVO 3D] bikrmd86:
Im pretty sure that Im losing speed but my question is if I remember doing a profile update or a prl update would revert all the settings back to factory. Is this still holding true?
[HTC EVO 3D] Arbron:
Average of 3 test with default settings was 1.3MBps down and .6 up.

Average of 3 test putting in 0's was .7MBps down and .7 up.

Switched back to default and averages went to 1.2 down and .6 up.

Maybe its better if you are in a bad coverage area? I fluctuate between 4 and 5 bars at my apartment.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
I gained and lost nothing. I average ABOUT the same. Here are my results...

Before

ping / download / upload

122 / 724 / 577

144 / 968 / 570

141 / 1106 / 531

After

133/681/584

234/891/607

133/1020/556
[HTC EVO 3D] B-Mod:
I did a profile, and prl update after changing settings, the settings stayed as I set them........
[HTC EVO 3D] mallman:
the airave most certainly used for data. i get no service at all without the airave. i mean absolutely nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] ppcpirate:
same here, i lost speed. went from around 400kbps to 250kbps. sprint 3G network has always been mediocre in the chicago area.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
No changes here for me. Damn.
[HTC EVO 3D] r.mauldin:
Same problem here.
[HTC EVO 3D] r.mauldin:
I tried on two computers and have the same problem as above.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrloserpunk:
Seriously, way easy. called sprint and said "they are telling me I need a MSL to run a diagnostic". He gave it to me and said "hope they fix it". Never once asking me who they are! HEHEHE
[HTC EVO 3D] Sim-X:
Ha I actually did this before even reading this thread. I wasn't sure if a lot of other people were doing it. I started this thread before I saw this.

I haven't really noticed an improvement but haven't done that much testing either. It took less than 2 min to call spint & get the msl. The guy was super cool, didn't ask why or nothing. I'm gonna make sure to do the survey call for him.
[HTC EVO 3D] rpav2004:
Anyone who is having issues getting cdma workshop to pull their SPC, I have a fix.

Download these drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?bh5aa8fgcgsb41r

I pulled them from a verizon modem access install. They're newer than the ones in the OP, and your phone will be recognized as the HTC Diagnostic Interface. Also, you may have to turn off your mobile network connection, and reboot your phone. After doing that, I was able to successfully connect to the phone with the application and read the SPC without errors.

OP, could you tack this on the bottom of your post? I think it might help out some people.
[HTC EVO 3D] Knight2011:
Thanks. While i was in cdma workshop i changed the sprint banner to something else.
[HTC EVO 3D] rjacobs:
Seems to work good here. 1.6 down and .6 up. I have never seen over 1 down.
[HTC EVO 3D] lurkmonkey:
This worked for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:
thanks OP! worked like a charm...sprint gave me msl no problem...she even volunteered the msid #
[HTC EVO 3D] 00_MACKIE_00:
I used CDMA workshop, I isntalled HTC sync though and I didnt need the drivers and my device was on COM5. Made the proxy changes. I do this on all my phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] r.mauldin:
Thanks cdma_workshop worked with new driver. I called sprint and emailed them. Both times they would not give me the msl.
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
Are the 4G/Wimax Tweaks still valid from the Evo to the Evo 3d? If you're not sure what I'm referring to, see below.

________________

* 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.

* 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.

* 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!)

* WiMAX_Scan_Retry(s) Enter the number 15 and click "OK" (This equals 15 seconds instead of 300 seconds)

* WiMAX_Entry_Delay(s) Enter the number 0 and click "OK" (This equals 0 seconds instead of 300 seconds)

* "Wimax_idle_sleep" from 10 to 300 seconds.
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisM0678:
Yes you are still able to adjust WiMax options.

[HTC EVO 3D] wake69:

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Sprint gave me no problem getting my MSL's for both of our Evo 3D's. Here are the results. I'm in a (very) fringe area in the country hence the slow and inconsistent numbers and zero to 1 bar of service:

My Evo 3D:

Before (with proxies) dl/ul:

204/280

151/172

124/243

223/309

137/240

----------

168/249 avg

After (no proxies) dl/ul:

401/341

207/283

220/143

165/185

289/155

----------

256/221 avg

Wife's Evo 3D:

Before (with proxies) dl/ul:

146/184

140/210

147/167

282/289

233/166

----------

190/203 avg

After (no proxies) dl/ul:

174/365

309/331

210/382

303/393

256/503

----------

210/395 avg

So on average, mine was 168/249 before and 256/221 after. My wife's was 190/203 before and 210/395 after. Given the inconsistencies of the numbers caused most likely by our poor signal strength in this area, I'd consider this a pretty good improvement overall.

[HTC EVO 3D] MILcityBoi:
Just call back....I got mine this morning and she even said "I just gotta let you know if you are tweaking/customizing the phone that it can/will void your warranty".....blah, blah, blah...tell me something I don't know lady, LOL...Then she handed it over without any problems..
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Try again. Do the *2 on your phone and then "call sprint". From there, the options are 1,4,4,1,4. After that, they connect you to a rep. I did this twice, got two different people, and neither one even asked any questions: they gave me the MSL's for BOTH Evo 3D's: mine and my wife's. First time I wrote mine down wrong (missed a digit) so had to call back. Neither time did they give me any hassle. Good luck.

You used app developer to do what? Did you get your msl using app developer?
[HTC EVO 3D] absolutzero1906:
Im about to call back, called earlier got denied sent a pretty nasty email after i got a customer satisfaction email.
[HTC EVO 3D] djwhitey:
*2 gave me the MSL without asking why. If someone asks you why or gives you that "new policy" crap, hang up on them & get it from the next rep. You might even be able to get it out of a webChat rep easier than by calling.

Looks like one of the wimax defaults changed w/ the 3VO's. Included defaults in case someone wants to revert.

* 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.

Was -89

Now -97

* 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.

Was 2

Maaan I don't knw what I would do without u guys lol, I called back n said I was gonna do a reset n they gave it to me thanx now I'm ready to get busy since we r not rooted it gives us somethingto do til we get rooted
[HTC EVO 3D] absolutzero1906:
Edit: success she asked if i had called about this before i said yea but she didnt give it to me like u just did. She says y not no clue i say. Thanks bye
[HTC EVO 3D] Flip35:
hey guys after steph 3 is asking me for a password not an option to go to advance now i assume thats the msl# but when i type it in it says erro incorrect password so is it that they gave me the wrong msl
[HTC EVO 3D] RedWingsFan:
Called Sprint and they gave me the # after asking why I needed it. I said I was a developer and wanted to test something. After a few minutes going through my account she gave me the #.

After rebooting I see a nice increase in 3G speeds
[HTC EVO 3D] tekmaven:
Sprint on the phone gave it to me with no issue at all. When the rep answered, I calmly said that I was a developer and I need the MSL on the device and she did not ask me one question and I had the MSL in about 20 seconds.
[HTC EVO 3D] Excrucibo:
Calling Sprint worked for me as well. I think after dialing *2, I entered 1-4-4-1-4-4, but that last 4 might've been because I entered the numbers too quickly.

I told the rep I needed to hard reset, and he gave it to me. Sounded a bit perturbed when he was reciting it, and the hardest part of the process was understanding his accent.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
They gave me mine without even asking why, LOL.. I just asked for it, and they gave it to me. I just got my 3D about an hour ago... Yay!!
[HTC EVO 3D] poopymonster:
3G and 4G were significantly slower after change.

Speeds before:

First Try:

3G = 0.28Mbps down

= 0.33Mbps up

= ping = 198ms

4G = 8.32Mbps down

= 1.09Mpbs up

= ping = 140ms

2nd Try:

3G = 0.67Mbps down

= 0.22Mbps up

= 141ms

4G = 9.05Mbps down

= 1.38Mbps up

= ping = 144ms

Speeds after:

1st Try:

3G = 0.10Mbps down

= 0.22Mbps up

= ping = 155ms

4G = 6.98Mbps down

= 1.39Mbps up

= ping = 142ms

3G = 0.15Mbps down

= 0.18Mbps up

= ping = 307ms

4G = 6.45Mbps down

= 1.19Mbps up

= ping = 144ms

needless to say....i'm going back to original settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
What app you guys using to test download speeds?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
About what I saw. Not only that... it forced me into roaming as I got the roaming warnings.
[HTC EVO 3D] oreoOozZz:
totally forgot about this, called Sprint and they gave me my MSL and got this done. def made a difference, thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] spaum:
It did the exact same thing to me. I updated my PRL to restore original settings. I recommend people to test both options out that way you get the fastest option.
[HTC EVO 3D] slayer69:
search the market for speed test.

I went back to original settings as well. Doing this trick cut my 3G speeds in half.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flip35:
I also went back to original, after following the steps it was slower I updated my profile n prl. But the sake so I reverted n it seems faster so I guess it depends on the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
WOOT

Big thumbs up! Worked for me.

I ran 5 pre- and 5 post-change speed tests with OOKLA's speedtest.net. While I sat in the same place, the bars varied from 1 to 2 (and once I think 3 bars).

Results:

Ping: speed increase of 35%!

Download: Speed increase of 70%!!!

Upload: Speed increase of 110%!!!!!!

Thanks mate!

Anyone know WHY this works?

Oh and if anyone needs to know what password to enter when you enter edit mode..it's your MSL :) :)
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I don't see how this simple hack can slow down speeds. If you are eliminating a proxy you are eliminating a hop and likely eliminating latency ("lag") which oftentimes has a greater bearing on perceived performance than throughput. Not only that, but, it's not like this proxy can boost your performance (unless Sprint is limiting connection speeds to anything not routed through this proxy, which I very highly doubt)....cuz you have to go out over the back-haul regardless, that would be the limiting factor to either route.

So, since so many people are reporting a drop in speeds I think you should try something else (and/or in addition to this hack):

Every time you initially connect 3G your connection is routed somewhere, seemingly random--though probably based on load. That's why when you load up speedtest it picks the 'closest' server to you yet it's somewhere across the country...

So, what I've found works best is to run speedtest and if I don't like the speeds I am getting I will toggle the 3G radio, run the speedtest, etc etc etc, until I am satisfied with my results. While a majority of the time a closer server will yield better throughput that isn't necessarily always the case.

I have found this works out for me 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I attribute my low speeds to obvious regional congestion based on over population of sprint customers and under congestion of towers and/or ****ty signal.

YMMV, but probably not.
[HTC EVO 3D] dizidi:
After applying the changes, Sprint TV no longer works. Im getting connection error.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I can't check to verify that I get the same result, it wants me to update...and I won't.

But, either way, that's not shocking...everyone who has that proxy programmed into their phone (by default) would be a sprint customer and thus have access to those features....that would be one (in--hopefully--a serious of) methods of authentication....lacking such a basic authentication would be obvious grounds to not allow you on.

..though, do you have any more specific an error?
[HTC EVO 3D] SuperSonicEJ8:
just thought i would share my results...

first of all I called sprint late last night an was told they can not get out msl numbers anymore. I called again this morning and spoke to another representative and they gave it to me right away.

before doing the trick

UP:521kbps

DOWN: 380kbps

after doing the trick

UP:585

DOWN:393

I performed 4 speed tests for each and these were the averages. I was sitting in the same spot with about 3-4 bars. my tests seemed to be more consistent before doing the trick. and they seemed to vary more after I did the trick. I also reset the phone after changing the settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] karatche:
Yea- I got nowhere with them- no msl to be given out anymore. F+*k Sprint- Won't be long we'll not need any of their lame ass help.
[HTC EVO 3D] juggaman:
I was able to call Sprint today after my phone was updated through Wirefly. Told them I was an app dev and that I needed the MSL in order to test. CSR put me on hold and came back after a couple minutes and gave it to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
This is pretty much what I experienced! Thanks OP!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Anybody know how to reprovision? Saw a post earlier in the day and cannot find it again.
[HTC EVO 3D] karatche:
HTC Diag never shows up under Device manager for me- in either Win7 or XP pro OS. As soon as I plug usb in while in DM command Service it finds a driver in xp but doesnt show up in either device manager list.
[HTC EVO 3D] stealth919:
Awsome, Sprint rep that sold me my phone gave me my code and just did it. Worked awsome...Thanks Alot :):)
[HTC EVO 3D] Avalaunchmods:
be careful with this. although the old proxies from 2.2 did slow down speeds and did not reroute data correctly, the new ones increase streaming video streams, correctly and efficiently set you on a sprint tower for 3G and make 4G connections faster, and pre-encode streams.

so although you will get faster download speeds for normal data packets, in the end you will wind up with alot more headaches.

so thats just my .2cents on this. be sure to write down the old proxies and ports should you need to revert.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Could you use this to set the msl to all zeros? If so how? Would it be similar to the evo?
