[EVO Shift 4G General] masterkamon842:
Hey everybody, I'm new here, Evo shift user just recently flashed to boost. I find this forum very useful :) but i have doubts...

I find 3G speeds are very slow :(

I tried messing around in the settings like changing http dp settings to 0, but havent found much improvement. I also found many settings mention sprintpcs. I know boost runs with sprint, but I was curious as if all settings should be linked to sprint after the boost flash...

So my real question is, Can anybody provide me with information and detail on settingd in their flashed-to-boost evo shift, or android?? excluding of course any compromising codes, but mostly the ## settings in general???

Any help will be much appreciated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] masterkamon842:
nobody here can help me out?? =/
[EVO Shift 4G General] southernstyle:
U might wanna ask someone on boost for their epst settings. Maybe find a thread of a phone only on boost mobile? I'm not really sure but that's all I got

try flashing the latest prl, I had to download CDMA workshop to do that, but it helped my 3g a little... us say flashing cm7 made my phone run 10x better, GPS was faster, 3g was way faster... epst settings type##data# go to edit, and the msl should be 000000 then you can edit .let me know if you need help

[EVO Shift 4G General] craven667:
well the setting should be the same +/- but cant be 100% sure but tell me how you flashed it clean esn or a different way "not talked about here " and did you do it your self ??

as far as slow 3g speeds youll find its the sprint network as boost uses the same network and dont see a fix insight a lot of of people are having the same problems
[EVO Shift 4G General] masterkamon842:
Thx guys, I installed Cyanogenmod 7 speedy, only to find GPS not working at all... and cant seem to go in ## settings on this rom either.. Only if I do a recovery on my stock OS can I edit. And it was the 'forbidden way' I flashed it :P although IMO legit since the equipment used is all mine.

How would I go to updating PRL through CDMAW??? Also, anybody on the boost network can post their data settings here? Excluding of course the username and shared keys???

Thanks to all who's replied by the way :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] craven667:
well yeah you cant get in to setting with cm kinda sucks but the rom makes up for it lol i just go to stock but i tell you what get cm7 nightly 94 i have it on my phone and everything works gps mms the only thing that dont work is 4g

Thx everybody for your help, eventually sold the phone and bought a galaxy prevail for boost. Works better. Doesnt matter cause in a few days I'll be getting a free Droid Charge with an employee discount plan since I work for Verizon! sweet! XD

Is there any way to use squashfs to reduce the size to atleast 2gb ?

Did you try to hack wifi's ?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
tbh, Im not sure about the squashfs. as far as wifi stuff goes, the chipset doesnt have a driver with monitor or promiscuous mode.

this is what ive found working so far:

nmap (and zenmap, though its not in the menus or bin's ) I installed them from the website (mostly, wouldnt fully install but you could cd into the folder after the make command and run it from there with ./zenmap )

metasploit seems to work with the mysql database, once the tools are all installed that is.

armitage -should- work once you can get the mysql database running for metasploit ( its another one where you have to go to the folder to run it )

I plan on adding whatever i can to it and uploading it for all once i can get the major stuff working :)

Definatly taking suggestions on what people want tested/working
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
Just bought a Nexus s 4g today from sprint and got rid of my HTC EVO 4G which i had for almost a year and been rooted pretty much that whole time.

just a couple quick questions regarding the SNS.

Since this is internal memory and no sd card how do i add music bring all my pics and videos back from my computer? Only thing i could think of is download some sort of program. ( the one for evo was called "HTC SYNC")

And some other questions about root. Since i just bought it today and its at version 2.3.4 is it able to be rooted or am i locked out of it cause there last update?

i also saw the guide to root and saw that theres different versions ( like I90xxxx) how do i figure out which version nexus i have.

Thanks Guys, if i have anymore questions ill ask here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It's just like any other phone. The "internal memory" is basically a integrated SD card that is irremovable.

Just plug your phone in via USB, mount USB storage. And copy paste it!

Or get Google Music (need to get invited to the beta).

It is a Nexus phone, it is a phone that provides a unlocked bootloader (you have to manually unlock it but its relatively easy). Nexus devices are encouraged to be rooted / played with.

The Sprint 4G version is not I9020A/I9020T/I9023

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
And will i be able to root with the lasted update? i know some people have been locked out because of it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I just said,

It is a Nexus phone, it is a phone that provides a unlocked bootloader (you have to manually unlock it but its relatively easy). Nexus devices are encouraged to be rooted / played with.

And provided the root guide link. Please read that, I shouldn't have to repeat this.

This phone is not Motorola or HTC. Those phones come with a locked bootloader which disallows you to tamper with rooting / flashing ROMs. To do that on those phones, you need a exploit.

Now this is what i meant by.. the Nexus devices come with a unlockable bootloader. Just follow the guide.

edit: Best root method? Uh.. rooting couldn't get any easier than a Nexus device. It's ENCOURAGED to be tampered with.

1. get drivers installed

2. go into bootloader mode

3. fastboot oem unlock

4. accept the terms

5. fastboot flash recovery whatever-recovery-name-is.img

6. go into CWM and flash su.zip

7. done you're stock rooted.

optional: download ROM & kernel, radio update (if there is one. I don't follow NS4G)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
You have to repeat yourself because in your first post you didn't add a link to root until you edited it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
So you want me to double post instead of editting it? (Like what you did?) It was a relatively quick edit in <20 seconds.

Yeah ok. The only edit I did was to make the job EASIER FOR YOU by linking the stickied thread. I didn't have to do it, but I did it because I wanted to be nice.

The term 'unlocked bootloader' as I mentioned (before the edit) explains it all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
No one asked for a double post but with that stick up your ass you should be told that if you don't like repeating yourself then don't get all pissy if you didn't edit you first post fast enough by the time i replied.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Lol, Why are you getting upset? I gave what you asked for as well as including additional background information in regards to the bootloader. No reason to get a attitude. You didn't properly read what I said before responding.

You should double read things before you post. The only edit I did was to provide the link of the stickied thread to make the rooting process for YOU easier.

Nothing else was changed/removed. I included information saying that its a unlockable device, so the same rooting method will always work regardless of the Android verison before it was editted. And I edit my posts rather than double posting it because well, I believe its apart of the rules? And its apart of Forums 101. That's why the edit option is there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
lol come on now your saying i was the one getting upset? Don't try to turn the tables on me like that.

When you want to start a sentence by I JUST SAID... and I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF then expect some backlash.

Thanks for the info and ill even thank your posts, But next time don't keep editing your posts just like you did to your last one. even if they are quick, im a quick replier and i won't see your edit. you should also try to come out more polite then with a stick up your Va-Jay-Jay
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Turn tables? You're the one raising your "voice" towards me.

I answered your question in regards to the rooting process. I gave you what you wanted and this is how you repay me by talking "smack" to me because I told you to re-read what I said.

Try to help people and people don't even have the courtesy to say thank you.

Anyways, I'm done here. Take it how you want but I gave you the answers to what you were looking for and I don't think its fair to feed drama around the forums to this absurd argument.

Better get used to me being around the forums because I'm pretty active. No harsh feelings though. Good luck rooting and have fun with your new device ;)

I said thanks in my last post and here goes another for you so you don't get too upset, Thanks.

Ok, so i followed the manual method in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969960

It instructed to edit the value of "Install Non Market Apps" to 1 in this file:

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

What should the owner of that file be?

I did not take note of the original owner and the instructions called to change ownership to system. Which was never changed back. The backup copy is owned by root, was that the original owner and if thats the case can i change it back to that? Or it needs to be owned by system inorder for sideloading to work.

After finishing that up, i did not see an option for "Unknown Sources", so i followed instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972760

This time it said to edit "Force Market Apps Only" to 0 in this file.

/data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/settings

After doing this, the unkown sources option showed up.

But after i checked back into the 1st db file the line of "Install Non Market Apps" was gone. The 1 i edited originally. Not sure at which point it disappeared. I checked off Unknown Sources in the menu, so that might of caused it. But checking it back on did not bring that line back.

Is this a problem. I actually haven't tried sideloading anything yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demens13:
Well, changing the owner to root bricks your phone. Thats nice to know.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNitebreedx:
Running BAMF 2.1 remix, latest IMO kernel, MR2 radio. Having major issues with battery life when on WiFi. Charge to 100%, remove charger, connect to home WiFi or work WiFi, lock screen and let phone sit, battery drains at 10% per hour. Repeat but use 4g instead of WiFi, battery drains at 3% per hour. Looking at battery usage stats i see phone is awake the entire time WiFi is enabled. What WiFi setting am i missing to allow phone to sleep without disconnecting WiFi? If there isn't one, which radio .zip controls the WiFi radio? Never had this issue when on froyo ROMs only gingerbread. Phone should be able to sleep but keep WiFi connected if it can do it while connected to mobile network, right?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youarealwaysthereMD:
I've noticed similar results with this ROM. Wifi itself has a "power saving" mode that lets the wifi radio sleep when its not being used extensively, helping to stave off the power required by wifi. It is possible that the rom is missing something, but I haven't found any settings to alter this.

Also, if you're using Juice Defender, there are tweaks in there that could help you. And if you're not, it will help save your battery by disabling the wifi and data radio when you're not using it / phone screen is off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNitebreedx:
Appreciate the advice. I don't use juice defender. The only problem is that if I'm at home or work i have faster WiFi than 4g, and I'd like to be able to use it. If i leave WiFi on, it either drains battery so much the phone is unusable or it disconnects if i set it to disable. Guess I'll just have to live with no WiFi until a newer gingerbread leak comes out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1dan:
all gb roms have problems with wifi draining the battery. ur only option right now is to switch back to froyo. you can try the bamf 1.8.6 version that is froyo and can use the mr2 radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNitebreedx:
Do we know what the cause is? Kernel? Newer leak would solve it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youarealwaysthereMD:
Most issues like this are usually answered with "won't be fixed until a new leak or OTA," similar to the graphics issues in the bamf 3.0 ROM.

[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Personally, I wouldn't rely on the EVO3D forum to stay abreast on news about rooting or anything. a certain Mod killed the developers desire to stick around here.

head over to the Sensation area, and you'll find that people have found ways to make the root stick 100% until actual reboot occurs and so on. that is where I'm staying up to date.

This technically should not be called "Temp Root", in a traditional sense.

Perhaps "Momentary Root" :)

I haven't really messed with it too much either. I'm just happy to see the progress coming so quickly. I thought it would be a while before we saw anything resembling root.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
considering that haus has a ENG bootloader, why doesn't he just get temp root, then flash it onto the phone? They would have S-OFF.

I think all this time is being spent on a custom recovery made by Team Win that is supposedly packed with features. That is great and all....but I would prefer a faster release with less recovery features initially...before HTC beats them to the finish line.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:

[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Our bootloader is still write protected......So, even though we have the eng. loader from the early system dump, it still can't be flashed over the one that we have without cracking the write protection first.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
That is interesting. Because root should allow you to change permissions. Getting temp root was the last hurdle at one point in xhausx's thread in the dev forum and the irc chats. Unless this "temp root" is really limited? I dunno
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
That was my understanding as well based on other android phones, however it seems HTC has substantially changed the design of the phone. I have followed a few of the developement threads, post for post since their inceptions and it turns out this is something entirely new that our devs are having to deal with. Sorry I can't find a link to where it was referenced......If someone could and post it that would be great.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Found it. This is copy & pasted from RVDigital's Faq sheet in the developement section:

What about S-OFF?

20:10 <@agrabren> Short of "where are we at for s-off".

20:10 <@joshua_> Sure. This device is eMMC, and also has a signed bootloaer. This means that S-OFF is a ways further out than just soft root.

20:11 <@joshua_> I can answer from my experience working closely with the AlphaRev X team that S-OFF on Sensation is goign to be harder than previous devices we've worked with.

20:11 <@joshua_> I think EVO 3D is very similar to Sensation, so I suspect the same to be true there.

20:11 <@joshua_> Someone asked me what eMMC is: Older phones (EVO 4G) are based on NAND flash; eMMC is a different type of flash.

20:12 <@joshua_> eMMC has different types of write protection that we haven't worked with before.

20:12 <@agrabren> And we plan to work together to solve some of these issues.

20:14 <@joshua_> (We've all been working pretty closely on this, including scotty.)

20:14 <@agrabren> you think this particular exploit will eventually lead to s-off, or is it too early to tell?

20:14 <@agrabren> (Sending this one to joshua_

20:15 <@joshua_> agrabren, the AlphaRevX exploit requires userspace root, and that was one of the big things holding it back on gbread

20:22 <@agrabren> Joshua: whats the difference between unlocked and s-off?

20:22 <@joshua_> S-OFF, unlocked, etc are fuzzy terms, especially now that we are on eMMC.

20:23 <@joshua_> S-OFF used to refer to a specific configuration in which the radio told hboot that it was "OK" to flash anything it wanted, essentially.

20:23 <@joshua_> (It also would refer to an ENG hboot.)

20:23 <@joshua_> On eMMC, that state no longer exists.

20:24 <@joshua_> unlocked is not really a term that applies to CDMA phones; in general, it refers to the ability to put a SIM card from a differnet carrier into your phone. the "NAND lock", or write protection, or anything like that does apply, and refers to being able to write /system

20:24 <@joshua_> (I think that's needed for Cyanogen.)
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
Team Win seemed pretty confident about releasing s-off to the masses or whatever. They made temp root sound like it ****s up your phone at one point. I hate having to use an exploit when ****ing htc can just release it to us in an official ota. I dont understand why they are waiting. Bunch of **** suckers. I really wish Team Win didnt tell everyone they had temp root so that HTC would still have more pressure on them. DONT FLAME BECAUSE OF MY OPINION!
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
IMHO you should code one yourself or stop complaining

[HTC EVO 3D] austontatious:
Thank you! If you don't have the knowledge or time to hack the phone yourself then sit tight and wait for TeamWin or Unrevoked or whoever else to figure it out for you. *****ing incessantly about "When will we get full root - temp root is too hard - I want hotspot" doesn't get the job done. One of TeamWin was getting married this weekend! I don't think cracking encryption is at the front of his mind today (it might be, but his wife would probably kill him). Anyway, the point is that HTC didn't unlock the bootloader but we all bought the phone anyway. You will get root (for free, I might add) when it's done.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
+1...I will never understand why people that have no idea what it takes to hack into these phones can come into these threads and ***** about it taking too long to get it fully rooted. Seriously, the way this phone is locked down, could make it so this will never happen until HTC releases their update to open it up. This is a brand new flash that these guys have never worked with. Besides these guys have a life outside of XDA too. They do this for free. Most of them have families, jobs, other hobbies and then spend every spare minute they have trying to get this going for you. What do they ask in return? NOTHING! I have donated to several devs for their work, but honestly I have never, ever seen one developer ask for donations to continue their work. So, sit down, relax, grab a beer and some popcorn(or whatever snack you like) and read about and watch the progress being made.
