I made this change back on my EVO and it was faster, but on my EVO 3D I am getting the results below. I will be sticking to stock settings for now.

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I don't know if this has really done for me, I stupidly forgot to check the speeds before I did the tweak. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Nonetheless, what I thought was the hardest part was actually ridiculously simple; getting the MSL. I'm sure it's been mentioned before in this thread numerous times, but you don't need CDMA workshop to get the MSL, the free app "MSL Reader" on the Android Market while "soft" rooted. Took all of 3 seconds, easiest thing I've ever done with an Android phone in all my time wtih it.
[HTC EVO 3D] tygger:
I wonder what the logic is behind it working for some and not for others. If the proxy was in fact adding lag, I would imagine this mod should increase speed for everyone.
[HTC EVO 3D] exhilaration:
No effect for me. I did 10 speed tests before (average 843 d/l, 667 u/l, 116 ping) and 12 speeds tests after (average 830 d/l, 614 u/l, 156 ping). This was in 2 different locations in New Jersey, against multiple speed test servers, on different days, and at different times.

See attached for all of my numbers.
[HTC EVO 3D] speedy0339:
Go into Acctouns & Sync and enable background data then.
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
Tried the hack and did 8 speed tests with it and 8 speed tests without it. this is what i got average

MOD Ping 291.4 Down 544.5 Up 726.9 MOD

STOCK Ping 283 Down 672.1 Up 725.75 Stock

im sad, i was hoping for faster speeds haha
[HTC EVO 3D] b4u2:
I called SPRINT. They wouldn't give me the MSL at first but then they gave me a "temp one time use" MSL? So hopefully this MSL works and I'll try this out.

Update. Temp MSL didn't work so I called back and got a different guy and he gave me the MSL. We also did a restore because my 3G is slow. I then applied these changes. Ping 970 Down 22 Up 2935

Awesome right....I think my EVO 3D has some issues...
[HTC EVO 3D] exhilaration:
I'm pretty confident that removing the proxy has made no difference for anyone based on my results. It's easy enough to do 10 speed tests and export the results to CSV to get the average, so where's the proof this hack works? I only see evidence of the opposite in this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
I've been using this workaround since the early evo4g days in combination with the prl hack (using alltel prl to gain 3g roaming on Verizon's towers) and my experience has been : use a healthy dose of ymmv. Everything from times of day, network congestion, speedtest method, speedtest server etc, effects the test results. I gain an average of 30% speed with both of these hacks used in tandem, but that's more telling of sprints craptacular service in my area than the proxy workaround. Those having poor results, try toggling the dns settings to allow 0.0.0.0. I forget the exact dialing code off hand but if anyone's interested ill look it up. Just my 2 cents.

Edit: its *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information then at the bottom "toggle dns check "
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Dude...

Use the temp root script, and then run this app. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.esccode.msl

You'll have your MSL in all of 3 seconds.

Don't bother calling Sprint or wasting time and effort with the dangerous CDMA workshop either.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Worked for me. Didn't ping anything. I can only tell you that the green progress bar loaded a webpage in roughly 5 seconds in comparison to the average 30 to 45 seconds I was getting before.

The CDMA method worked fine. Took about 5 minutes to get the MSL.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
this thread could be a study in the placebo effect
[HTC EVO 3D] tygger:
I tried it from two different locations running 10 tests each before and after the hack. One location was pretty bad coverage and the other was good. The numbers were pretty inconsistent, but averages were worse with the hack so I changed it back to stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] GaryJ51:
I didn't do any changes, but I ran 10 speed tests before reading this thread and 10 more after reading the thread and my speeds are definitely faster after reading the thread.

If everything you've tried so far hasn't worked, I'd suggest rereading the entire thread. Be sure to run 10 speed tests before you begin reading and then 10 more after you're done and post your results here.

YMMV
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I wouldn't recommend this change. I've tried it three times on two different phones and the only thing that is consistent is that with this hack, the market and YouTube always act up the first time with a "network error" and you have to try again. Not worth it. I reset it to stock, have the same speeds, but without all the annoying connection errors.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] pierre1321:
Seems to me that people are looking for an all in one hack. This works for me, but read these words. [ This does not give you Awsome speeds 24/7]. As we all know, our phones don't always react in the same way, even though they should.

This works for me, I've retested stock and mod so many times its rediculous.

But I don't get Awsome speeds ( should prolly say decent speeds) all the time.

I do know for a fact ( on my phone ) without mod:

Down 100-250, Up 400-800 both kbs

With mod:

Down 150-1300, Up 75-200 both kbs

As for placebo, maybe for some. But that would also mean if root isn't working on my phone, it a placebo effect for people who say it works.

Every single temp root has failed for me, wether it be from start or a few hours later.

But just cause its not working for me, doesn't mean people are imagining (placebo effect ) its working.

All phones are not created equal, even though they are spose to be.

If you take offense to this, then you have missed my point.

I'm a flashaholic, and so is my friend Eva triple D .
[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
This is what worked for me.

I've actually been able to finally stream Sirius XM with their app for the first time ever without using wifi.

Where is the PRL hack? I'd love to be able to use Verizon's towers around here for data.

Is the CDMA method meaning you select CDMA only? If so, where? Multiple places?
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
? What is the dialer code? Are all those asteriks supposed to be in there?
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
yes, keyin all that you see in the post above
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Ahhhh. I got it now. Toggled. Let's see what happens :)
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
I believe he meant using cdma workshop to retrieve msl. I'd temp root and use msl reader from the market, but anyway you get it you need it for the prl hack. Find and install a copy of Qualcomm qpst. PM me after that and I'll walk you through it. You can brick your phone using qpst so it's important to do things in sequence.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sinyc:
After toggling dns to allow 0.0.0.0 my speeds went from .3 Mbps average to .8 - 1Mbps, with a lower ping. Mind you in an area with 2 bars and usually slow speeds.
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
This didn't work for me at all... I barely average 200kbps anyways. Damn, I was really looking for something to up my awful data speeds. :(

EDIT: Just did the DNS toggle and it worked like magic! Now I'm up to 1.0Mbps down/0.6Mbps up. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
Might want to try the prl hack
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Can you link me the PRL file? Indirect or direct, I can't seem to find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696073

Try here
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Thanks, and this won't cause a service termination correct? Like, Sprint won't send me a letter basically telling me to fxck off? I can read through the posts, but figured I'd ask you since you seem to know haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
I've been using this workaround for about 2 years now, I've gotten one letter informing me of going over my roaming minutes. Basically if you use this hack all your voice minutes get reported as roaming. I began using grooveip to place calls using data. Groove ip interfaces with your google voice number and instead of using voice you use the phone as voip. Never had an issue since. To revert back to sprint at any time just go to updates and update prl.

Edit :and sprint can threaten all they want, but your phone is subsidized under contract. If they terminate ill take all my 3 subsidized phones that I have msl codes for and say hello to verizon
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Wow good pointers/ideas, thank you. Unfortunately the ##775# code thing doesn't work for me so the PRL hack is useless as I have no way of applying it. It was a good attempt though and thank you for your help!
[HTC EVO 3D] tygger:
Are you talking about the prl or msl hack?
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
PRL hack.

10char
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
Use qpst, you don't need #775# to apply this

Edit: use this thread to set it up http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1180211
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I was fine for a while, got fed up today when my speeds dropped at work and tried it. It worked like magic!
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
is there another way of installing the 01115 prl w/out installing those drivers and programs? also, is there a reason why ##775# doesn't work on our phones?
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
The epst that interfaced with that dialer code got depricated in 2.2. Until we have perm root you can't install a 2.1 epst. And a program that interfaces the diag mode is the only other way to push a prl to the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
Awesome hack! I called Sprint and talk to some wannabe hero that flat out told me no for the MSL. Then I called again, talked to a guy and he quickly gave me the MSL number with no questions. I immediately saw an improvement upon checking a few sites that would normally take for ever to load.

Thanks again bro, I'm loving this.
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
which prl do you recommend using for the hack?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Ok, I did it, but I honestly don't see a difference in 3G speed or downloads. I'm wondering what methods those who do see faster internet are using...? I sincerely hope its not your eyeballs!...lol
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
The prls are entirely dependant on your service area, what works here in az may not work for you at all. Same with the proxy workaround, as I said before it depends on your service area, time of day, network congestion. The same is true of network speed without any hacks or tweaks, snarky comments notwithstanding. I use 40065, 40057 and 40060 because they work best for my area.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Well that's exactly what I'm talking about... Not trying to be snarky...lol

Your network speed has so many variables, it would seem almost impossible to get a precise reading unless everyone in your area (say 15 mile radius) turned off their cells so you could have ALL the network to yourself. I'll try it for a few days to see if I notice a diff, I am in 5 bar service area with average speeds of about 1100 mbps at night.... during the day average speeds of about 800mbps...
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
3g with sprint in my area averages 400 kbps, for me with both these workarounds I average 800 on peak and 1200 off peak. But that's here. If I go to phoenix or San Diego is hop back on sprint bc service is better. It's all about options bro, like having a blonde, brunette and redhead for whatever works best for you at the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
After doing the 00001 prl hack, I now have a better signal here at work, anxious to see how it does the remainder of the day.
[HTC EVO 3D] justwonder:
That is not options bro, that is obligation, We should have all 3 blonde, brunette and redhead in the first place :D
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
Amen to this my friend!
[HTC EVO 3D] TT_Vert:
Anyone having an issue where you can see the option RTSP/HTTP settings but when you click on it nothing happens? THere is no icon to the far right like all of the others (Pencil or dots).

Thanks

Dave
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
Are you in view or edit mode? You have to be in edit mode and so you have to have your mal code
[HTC EVO 3D] TT_Vert:
Edit and I entered the msl..

Dave
[HTC EVO 3D] justwonder:
I have the same issue after S-OFF, before that I edited many times without a problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] TT_Vert:
So soff=sol?
[HTC EVO 3D] kmagn13:
Im S-OFF and it worked great for me...It showed that no changes were made...so I just changed the cycle to 1 instead of 2... Seemed to help by removing the proxy...i put 0.0.0.0 and not just blank...
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
So I did this and I tested it against my wife's phone that was stock....... Her internet speeds were faster than mine 7 out of 10 times.

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaywan:
Will we havr to redo this everytime we flash a rom or just once?

Sent from my ³Ð £V0
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
Interesting. I did this and my internet speed was half of what I had before I did the tweak.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Certainly could be used as a placebo, however, when I could click on the internet icon, set my phone down, go to the restroom, come back and the web page is still loading and now I can watch the progress bar shoot across, I don't think that has anything to do with a placebo.

Like it was stated, this won't work for everyone. It worked for me. No ping needed. The increase in speed was completely obvious.
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
That's strange.... Have you tried restarting the phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikel719:
Has any ones 3g cut out after this hack?
[HTC EVO 3D] TT_Vert:
yes, same thing..
[HTC EVO 3D] raed81:
i attached a picture for the results on speed test before and after the modification for the 3g speed ...huge diffrence ...thx man
[HTC EVO 3D] monyozt:
Oke.. here some screenshoot of mine :)
[HTC EVO 3D] sandrshe:
i'm wondering the same thing
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
I have tried this and I can confirm that you will lose these settings after you flash a ROM.

You will have to modify these settings again after flashing new ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Thanks for this man!

[HTC EVO 3D] berto55:
I can't do this using the miui rom
[HTC EVO 3D] james873:
Yea I have the same problem
[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
You have to use a sense rom to access the dialer codes, but then you can switch back to Miui. Just make a back up.
[HTC EVO 3D] berto55:
But I heard Everytime you flash a rom you lose the msl hack
[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
You might be right. I haven't tried it but I don't know why it would. It has nothing to do with the ROM. I would think it would be similar to updating your Orkut using the codes. It doesn't change back once you flash a new ROM but like I said I haven't tried it.
[HTC EVO 3D] lawsofpower48:
holy crap... my speed with airave at my house and this tweak im at 1460kbps dl and 585kbps ul!!! thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
Yeah mine went to 1111kbps but its been inconsistent since but still faster than before. I was about to go to Verizon but now I might stay. Lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] lawsofpower48:
mine was pretty consistant all around, the thing was i never tested it without the tweak lol..so not sure what the results were before hand.
[HTC EVO 3D] pleasesaythe4th:
It's asking me for a password after I select edit. What's the password?
[HTC EVO 3D] selders59:
The password should be your MSL#.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bowdowntozoltan:
I'm on the nocturnal sense 3.5 and when I dial that in the dialer it clears out like I entered nothing?
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
you need correct version of EPST
[HTC EVO 3D] Bowdowntozoltan:
What does that mean.
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
Meaning the version you have on your phone maybe doesn't work if you even have one there which you should. You may wanna Google it and download a diff version and use root explorer or any other bad ass file explorer/manager and drop it in your system/app folder reboot maybe even fix permissions and try again
[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
Here is two readings i got after doing this. This really helped out alot.
[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
I made a video of how to do this and a speed test of before and after. check it out if you want. Did'nt see a video of how to do this on here. sorry if there is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd0or6dmQK0&feature=channel_video_title
[HTC EVO 3D] AngelComa:
I just started using it. I live in a rural area, 3G is very spotty. I got a 'sweet spot' where I get 500kbps around.... I did this and was getting almost a meg. Thats nice for 3G, especially someone out in the middle of nowhere. When I get into town I'll have to do more speedtest :D.

I use tether app quite a bit, for those that say it times out or whatever, partly true. I had it time out... but this also happens with the regular settings. Yes, its annoying, but it is what it is I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
The new beta doesn't timeout they fixed it.
[HTC EVO 3D] AngelComa:
Yeah, I noticed. I have been browsing a few hours and have not be disconnected. Feels good, man.
[HTC EVO 3D] thunderkiss65:
FYI you can just download msl reader free on the market. need to be rooted to use it though.
[HTC EVO 3D] mtnbkr:
I just did this to my 3D. Worked perfectly! Will this work on my wife's Evo Shift? Does it work on pretty much any sprint phone??? And does this impact battery life at all, or should it have any impact on battery life?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] techwerkz:
Glad to see my old tutorial is still useful. I've been blanking out these settings even on other devices which always have netted increases for me. Even works on my S2.
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
accolc is best set at 9. 10-15 are emergency channels.

evrc-b is better than evrc however not all towers support this and theres a potential for missed calls, etc.

Cut the crap when you can do it easy
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
Thanks for this information!! When I go to "advanced" & "RTSP\HTTP settings" everything is already at zero's. Now, I cannot see the RTSP proxy I.P. or the HTTP proxy I.P., but the RTSP proxy port and the HTTP proxy port are both sitting at zero and I did not see what is posted for the original settings (rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com). Anyone else, or is just me?
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Same, on d3rp Rom

[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Perhaps a tweak script is already taking care of this for you? I haven't really noticed much benefit in this anyway... plus, mine keeps reverting back.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
would these settings stick after flashing cm9?
[HTC EVO 3D] keejung:
for people to get msl faster without Sprint or any hassle just download msl reader on the market....
[HTC EVO 3D] blauciel:
I think it's a good idea to mention in the OP that owners of Rooted phones can use MSL Reader (on Google Play)

Also, I just had my phone replaced due to screen problems, and it already had the settings in the OP, interestingly.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
LOL. Ironically, if they knew what a proxy was it might have been a different story :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
Agreed. Anyone reading on here just needs to download the app.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Thanks bro....
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
For anyone doing this, can you double check to see if your settings stick after a reboot? Mine keeps reverting back. I am on a rooted mean ROM with s-off 1.4 hboot.

EASIEST WAY

DOWNLAOD REVSKILLS

1. load up revskills

2. goto Menu > hardware forensics > port utils > QC + AT -cmd

3. select your port of HTC

4.goto CODE

5. hit HTC : Unlock SPC

6. Hit Change SPC

Iv tried the msl reader from the play store an it keeps coming up with an error any ideas I'm on miui 2.9.21

Edit: ok so just called sprint an got msl so fu*king easy...but now wen I put in the ##3282# its just says the number or code u have intered is incorrect any ideas can someone help me pls an thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Pretty sure you have to be on a sense rom. I know it works on stock and Viper3D
[HTC EVO 3D] donbudafuko:
Well from what I'm getting it a sense/miui but not totally sure just from what iv read in the forum it sounds like it is

Is there any other way to do this like build.prop or anything
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
No, you have to have a workign EPST.apk. I've only seen that activated and working on Sense ROMs. Usually you have to Nand backup your current setup. FLash one, set it up. Then restore your saved backup.
[HTC EVO 3D] FussyQBert:
Will these settings work for a Evo V on Virgin mobile?
[HTC EVO 3D] donbudafuko:
Ok so I have to back up my rom I'm using now an en flash back to a sense rom set it up then flash back to miui....what if I installed that epst.API I put it in the system folder an changed permission what should I do now if I did that.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I'm not sure if it is that simple because I've tried swapping EPST.apks before and it did not work.

[HTC EVO 3D] dwntwnall4u:
Would like to change my settings but,

I dont see the "HTTP Proxy Address" port listed? Only have "HTTP proxy IP" and "HTTP proxy port"?
