Thanks for that, I was considering doing this as I did on my Evo but after reading that I think I will pass for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] dwntwnall4u:
Can't say for sure but my downloads seem to get slower? This worked on my OG EVO. But not with my 3VO.
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
No proxies just eliminates the middle man. I think those of you with slow speeds after removing the proxies should run more than once. You shouldn't judge after 1 test. Even with the proxies, you will see that speeds vary regardless. 10 attempts will likely yield 10 different results. I'm no math major but I know more data = more accurate results. To each his own I suppose. The OP wasn't trying to screw anybody here with this tip. YMMV.

can HTC install a trackball on this thing?

I'm in SE Michigan. I'm not getting anything close to the 3G speeds you guys are.

During the 10 test I was getting 4-5 bars.

Before (avg.)

.77 Mbps Down - .53 Mbps Up

After (avg.)

.87 Mbps Down - .41 Mbps Up

It went from sh!tty downloads to a tiny bit less sh!tty. Man, speeds suck around here.

After changing the numbers back to default and rebooting. I got improved download numbers but worse upload.

Avg of 5 Tests

1.25 Mbps Down - .25 Mbps Up

What PRL do you guys have? My LG Optimus had 60679, then when I activated my 3d it showed 21079.

On my LG I was getting roughly 1mb down 500kbps up. The 3d is now getting 500kbps up and 500 down, which btw is much improved after changing the settings OP listed.

[HTC EVO 3D] RMACEVO427:
wow you are the man this is a VERY clean cut tutorial for people that have cdma workshop!!! Good job man and I gave you some thanks!!! See if everyone could write FULL tutorials like this, XDA would be the ultimate #1 website with no doubt or confusion!! Some ask why? Well there's people out there that don't know what the experienced do, which is what makes it very important to give every last detail if your gonna make a tutorial, otherwise you might as well just consider it useless if your not going to go the whole 9 yards and explain it all step by step. I've noticed users on XDA tend to assume every other user including noobs to experts know what they know, NOT TRUE! I am an experienced developer and I know how to change the msl to 000000 using the same method, but what caught my eye in this thread isn't the msl or data settings part. It's the fact he included the USB modem drivers installation tutorial instructing how to connect to cdma workshop, where most ppl give you steps for what they just discovered only giving instructions on that part. Now that's why there's a lot of tutorials for the same topic, ppl just don't include the most simplistic terms or steps and begginners have a hell of a time learning! I own the full version of cdma workshop and its an amazing tool for 100$. To learn how to connect phones took some time, but if I had read this tutorial I would have learned in a day!!! Let's save us all some time and start spending a little more time writing good tutorials on XDA from now on, you guys are great and no offense to anyone I hope, this is just constructive criticism:)

All in all... BE DETAILED, EXPLAIN ALL STEPS LINKED TO YOUR FINAL STEP LIKE THIS GUY DID! YOU CAN'T FLASH A ROM WITHOUT BEING ROOTED, SO LET IT BE KNOWN YOU NEED TO ROOT AND LIST RESOURCES.. IT'LL SAVE EVERYONE A SEARCH OR TWO AND MAKE XDA THE MOST DESIRED COMMUNITY. NOW LET'S ALL TAKE A MOMENT OF RECOGNITION FOR HIM AND CONSIDER HIM THE MAN OF THE MONTH
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:

[HTC EVO 3D] djwhitey:
just wanted to note that these settings did NOT break my SprintTV (I took the app update) or my Youtube over 3G.
[HTC EVO 3D] Steve98124:
Huge thanks to yoboii23 and techwerkz.

the tutorial is one of the best I've run across.

I needed to make some improvements on my GF's evo 4g to get her some data speed. I got everything I needed on this thread.

Her evo is not rooted (big mistake on my part, did the OTA from 3.7 to 4.22 before I looked into rooting it).

I was unaware that the proxy changes and prl hack would work on an unrooted phone. The biggest challenge was getting the msl. Sprint gave me the "it's against our policy" line. I was nice but a bit irritated. Fortunately, the CDMA method worked rather easily.

One item I had to add to the process was downgrading the EPST.apk. It must be the newer version in EVO 4G 4.22. Again, I was surprised that running that apk unrooted would work. I only needed it for ##775# (prl change). ##3282# worked with the original EPST.apk. Don't get that but whatever....

The only bad news is that sprint 3g is weak at my house. Even with the proxy fix speeds are typically <.5mb for me. The good news is by changing to 00001 prl we can get 2+mb download and about .7mb upload.

Again, thanks to the OP, techwerkz and all the folks on this site for their help!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Tried this for a couple days but after a half dozen or so "network failure" type messages and having to reload the Market all the time to fix it, I went back to defaults. Too much of a hassle.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] pcp123:
For those not seeing any improvement, try waiting about 20 minutes testing again. I saw no immediate improvement after the change. I decided to read through this thread to see what others' experiences were. It seems to be hit and miss. I was about to revert back to defaults but decided to test one last time. Went from .5 to around .9 Mbps. Several subsequent tests confirm the speed increase.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
Wow, I was just able to hit 2.12 Mbps after doing this. Before, the highest I ever got was 1.61 Mbps.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
The primary thread here suggested not changing rstp port and address.. Only the http...

And... To reactivate right after (without upgrading prl).

This seemed to finally do the trick.

Speeds universally faster.

Does anyone have an explanation why this results in a speed improvement? Are these new setting using servers from Sprints own?
[HTC EVO 3D] jackzepplin:
Works fine for me after zeroing out the settings as suggested. I do; however, think that it seems kind of dumb that you can only watch Sprint TV OTA and not via Wireless.
[HTC EVO 3D] stylz3:
After applying this performance tweak, I really noticed the increase in performance. The only issue I have is with my data timing out. If I let my phone site for a while without turning the screen on, I no longer have my 3g icon and I get data error messages.
[HTC EVO 3D] willsurg:
I also have been getting the network errors, por those of you reverting back to original settings, i tried the update PRL trick, and it did not work for me. I had to manually put in the original settings.

[HTC EVO 3D] willy900wonka:
Thanks for the writeup.

I got my MSL from "MSL Reader" by ESC Code : I got it in Market.

Once I got temp root, it worked as described.

The MSL Code was correct since I was able to edit while in the ##DATA# mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] vampirefo:
This is same method I used, worked just fine on my phone as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Abracastabya:
I need to do a data reset in order to get the activation pop up, correct?

Edit: OK I got it...I changed rtsp proxy ip & port back to default...then entered ##72786# and hit reset. After hands free activation I cancelled prl update...I can finally stream YouTube without it buffering 10x!
[HTC EVO 3D] mangohorse:
Worked awesome, had to change port number to 3, tested after I got the number and worked perfect! Thanks so much for saving me an argument with Sprint! Word of advice: I originally obtained my msl for my EVO when I called Sprint and told them I was experiencing very slow 3g, they walked me through ##3282# and told me my msl that way. I wrote down everything they said and the code they give you is your msl, hope this helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] pbedard:
Works like a charm
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
wont happen. You will get the same MSL. Trust me I have tested it. Got the MSL using software and called sprint and told them my 4g wasnt working right and they had me do a data reset, the rep gave me the same MSL.
[HTC EVO 3D] Goneracin:
I spent about a minute on the phone with Sprint and had no problems with them giving me the code or the MSL being correct. I have temp rooted the this phone a few times now and none of the superuser apps will work. Not all 3vo's are the same some things just dont work correctly, If they give you the wrong code just call back it doesnt take that long.
[HTC EVO 3D] brianb2:
can i reuse cdma workshop if i forgot my msl ..or in this case misplaced it..if so how ......i tried to obtain my msl but i wont allow me.. tells me to tap on the spc section under security .when i already did ...help any one
[HTC EVO 3D] TinkerDude:
It should work the same each time. You may want to check device manager in Windows to see if it got assigned a different COM port, since those are dynamic.
[Streak 5 General] data_loss:
A while back, just before the 2.2 OTA update came out for ATT locked streaks I received a replacement streak from dell. I didn't have it long enough before I applied the update to remember if the compass or sensors were working, but I seem to remember the screen would auto rotate just fine.

After the update the screen would not auto rotate at all. I spent a while looking into fixing it, trying things like srchild.com's calibrate-sensor-on-upside-down-dell-streak-after-froyo-22-android-upgrade

But I have a slightly different version of the menu's than that tutorial shows and nothing I did fixed the auto rotate so I eventually just learned to live with it in landscape mode for a while.

Now I realize that no compass or sensor based apps work. I've installed sensor monitor apps and they show no data. The "Calibration" application that shows bubble levels doesn't move at all. I'm starting to think it is a hardware problem but like I said, I am almost sure that screen rotation worked before the upgrade on this device.

Is there a way to verify for sure before calling dell. Their support was a nightmare to deal with the first time.

TIA
[Streak 5 General] cdzo72:
Why go through the trouble? Why not root your Streak and flash a custom ROM. They perform much better.

If you don't like them then you could always use the QDL tool to get back to stock but everyone here knows the OTA updates wreak havoc for almost all Android devices
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
A new ROM, stock or custom, won't fix the problem if there is a hardware issue. Installing a different ROM might help troubleshoot the problem. I would suggest a stock ROM so that if the problem persists there is no questions concerning the warranty. 353 is the latest AT&T ROM and can be downloaded here.

You don't have to root and then install StreakDroid, you can install SD without rooting first.

The updates I have gotten for the Streak have been excellent. I run Stock 351. My streak was purchased unlocked from Dell. In addition the OTA update I got for my Moto Backflip was a huge improvement and the update on my wife's Inspire that enabled the setting to install non-market apps works fine. I would have to say that not everyone here agrees with your assessment of the OTA updates.

To the opening poster I would suggest a reset or reinstall of 353 and then test with no apps installed.
[Streak 5 General] cdzo72:
I should've specified the OTAs from DELL are notorious for causing issues.

And you are correct, not everyone here would agree with them, but if you like to tweak and play, then a stock ROM doesn't offer much flexibility, not to mention performance wise.

When I first got my Streak I bricked it, then I revived it with the QDL tool and then went to StreakDroid. Then I even went back to stock to have a baseline to compare with the StreakDroid beta I'm currently using, and I have to say, stock is just that, stock, it's two worlds, performance and battery on stock just don't compare to any of the custom ROMs.

I know this isn't the place for this discussion but I couldn't help but make my point. If you like the stock ROM, I'm happy for you, but I for one have never been much to settle for less, I'm always looking for the latest thing.
[Streak 5 General] data_loss:
Having not looked into updating android a great deal I'd appreciate any corrections if I'm mistaken on this, but I do believe the over the air update that was installed is the 353 version.

My Streak currently reads:

Baseband version: GAUSB1A135331-US

Build number 15697

marvin02 if you still think downloading and installing the the 353 ROM you linked to would help diagnose the issue I'd be more than happy to, please let me know.

cdzo72 I do plan on installing custom rom's and even getting into Android development in the near future but I do not have time for it yet. I would like to make sure I do not have a hardware problem before installing any custom rom's because it will be easier (less time consuming for me) to make a warranty claim if I need to. Unfortunately right now functional and limited is better than cutting edge and time consuming for me when it comes to my Streak.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
A fresh install would eliminate (mostly) the possibility that your problem is caused by software, not hardware. If you still have the stock recovery on your phone you can just download the .pkg file, put it on your SD Card, rename it to update.pkg and boot into recovery to install.
[Streak 5 General] data_loss:
I do still have the stock recovery.

I downloaded and installed the 353 ROM. It appears that the sensors are not working (no auto screen rotation). I also tried a factory reset after the update just for giggles, no change.

If I'm not mistaken the Streak_104_4399_21.pkg that can be downloaded from the streakdroid site is the official att&t 1.6 ROM. Would it be worth downloading and downgrading to that to test?

Or at this point do I just endure the call to dell support?
[Streak 5 General] data_loss:
Is there any kind of documentation available for the fastboot menu on the streak? There seems to be options available for sensor stuff in there but I don't want to be just clicking through them without knowing what they do.
[Streak 5 General] data_loss:
One hour on the phone ( which was not much fun ) and a couple days later and I have a replacement. It is a refurb, but in good condition and it works. Thanks all for the help.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AndyCr15:
Hi there, I just sent a message on Google Talk to a friend, at 5:25pm, there reply came back with a time stamp 4:27pm, so appeared above the message I sent?!?!?

I noticed something similar on a calendar event. My shift in the calendar looks to be 7am to 4pm, which is an hour early. When I tap it, still 7-4, when I press details it finally says 8 to 5, which I know it to be.

Any ideas what is going on? This is a rather major issue if I don't know what time meetings are booked!

Thanks.

**EDIT** Okay, silly me, it looks like it might be as simple as I was set to GMT not BST... Quite why in one view it showed 8am and others it showed 7am seems a little odd...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] snoopstah:
Mine was showing the correct time but an hour wrong for timezone after initial setup, despite me choosing the correct option at the time. Was resolved by going into settings, date & time, and choosing (for me) London, UK, which then correctly set the timezone as GMT+1 (British Summer Time). I also then had to correct the clock by an hour.

I think that during initial setup it doesn't take into account the difference between BST and GMT for UK users, and sets it to GMT regardless.
