Which one to win in a drum-off? I'd go with Moony. between him and Animal, he'd be the only one left standing once the drink and drugs have run out.

Awesome question btw!

If my memory serves me correctly there was an OLD Muppets episode where they were in the same room.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
Very good!

Come on... So I Married An Axe Murderer..? Awesome movie, no?
[Off-topic] Archer:
I can watch him where he doesn't look like himself, for some reason, so Austin Powers & Shrek are fine, but anything else makes me cringe. I can't watch Wayne's World (I did - just can't again) and I've never seen So I Married an Axe Murderer. I have heard it's a great film, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I know this would be a compliment for most people, but I put him alongside the likes of the Marx Brothers, and I HATE that type of humour. Why I love "Dude, Where's my Car?" so much I will never know!

Edit: Incidentally, the question is a trick question since none of them ever actually die! If I had to pick one though, it would be Pinhead every time. Despite being an ardent Clive Barker fan and Pinhead being my favourite of the 3, he's the leader of the Cenobites - he has a whole army of horror madness behind him.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Good answer! Pinhead and the Cenobite army wins. You have to pick a fight now.

Also, you should give Axe Murderer a go. I'm not the biggest MM fan myself but this is one of his performances that i really love. Two, if you count his Father in the movie, which he also plays brilliantly himself! It's worth seeing even if only for the scene where he ends up ranting about Colonel Sanders. Very funny stuff!
[Off-topic] Archer:
Okay, I *may* give it a go. I do trust your judgement Dirk, but we're all different. If I want to pull my eyes out by 1/2 an hour into it, though, then it stops.

Right - fight!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
This guide is solely at your own risk. In particular, in the DATA settings under ##3282#, if you go messing around and changing things willy-nilly there is a potential to majorly screw up your phone. However, even if you follow this guide perfectly, I am providing no guarantee this will not screw up your phone or your service, this is merely a documentation of how I did it for the community's benefit.

What are proxies?

A proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary for network traffic. This can be done for a variety of reasons, including to save on bandwidth. For example, Sprint's proxy rewrites all outbound requests from our phones to request the smaller, mobile version of pages, even if the browser user-agent is set to desktop, and does who knows what else.

Why would I want to disable Sprint's proxies?

Faster speeds: Removing the proxy removes a link in between you and the server you're trying to connect to. There may be more to it than that, but it has been widely reported (though without reliable statistics) that disabling the proxy speeds up your connection. In my case, I found that my 3G speeds went from 450/300 kbps right before disabling proxies to 800/300 kbps right after. 4G speeds did not seem affected.

Fix certain apps: Many apps, particularly streaming apps such as Rdio and Rhapsody don't play well with Sprint's proxies.

Access local websites: If you're trying to access a website hosted on your local network, for example, an intranet, Sprint's proxies will break this.

User agent: You can take back control of your browser user agent and view desktop versions of webpages if you want to.

Is it safe?

People have been doing this for years now, including on the Epic 4G and the Evo original, with no ill effects. Even with proxies disabled, historically you have been able to continue to receive all official Sprint updates.

Great, so how do I disable Sprint's proxies?

Install a terminal application, such as ConnectBot

Use it to open a local terminal window

On the command prompt, type (case-sensitive): getprop ril.MSL

The 6-digit number that is spit out is your phone's MSL, make a note of it

Open up your phone dialer, and type on the keypad ##3282#, which will open up the DATA settings

Choose: Edit

Enter your MSL

Choose: Others

Choose: Multimedia

Observe RTSP Proxy Address and HTTPPD Proxy Address, and confirm they are respectively the Sprint proxies rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com and pd.vog.sprintpcs.com (If they are not that is interesting, and post it here, and also make a note of it in case you want to go back for some reason)

Replace RTSP Proxy Address and HTTPPD Proxy Address with: 0.0.0.0

Observe RTSP Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Port, and confirm they are respectively 554 and 8085 (Same thing as above if they are not)

Replace RTSP Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Port with 0

Back out of the DATA settings, reboot, and your proxies should now be disabled, try it out and post back any feedback on how it works for your now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
Gave it a shot, no joy. Not sure what it was, but sending and receiving data was showing though no progress being made. As soon as I put the settings back, all pages were up and speedtest worked.

It may just be me because we still have a tower down in the area (from tornadoes back in April). Thanks for the writeup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Speedtest.net app hasn't worked for me at all since I got the phone. But it works on other devices in my house (and theyeasily pull 2,000 kbps+ on 3G). I tried before removing proxies and it just says "Network Communicatoin issues" and it still says it after. I did do this on my Epic and it worked great, so I imagine it'd work great for us here, too! Thanks for posting this, regardless if this fixed my speedtest issue or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Does anyone else have a weird issue with Terminal Emulator where when you type in getprop ril.MSL it keeps capitalizing it to getprop rIl.MSL? I can't seem to get around this... so I just used ADB.

Maybe it's the Swype keyboard?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
It's exactly that. I'd install the swype beta.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
Try using a different keyboard instead of swype, it IS a swype issue. I would suggest gingerbread keyboard from the market.

Also speedtest 2.0.5 doesn't work well if it works at all. Try 2.0.3 (click here)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
You have to uninstall normal swype before installing the beta correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
In Terminal Emulator:

Menu-> More-> Preferences-> Input method-> Change from "Word-based" to "Character-based".

Problem should be fixed with no need to change Swype.

Edit: Also, click the swype preferences in the lower left of the soft-keyboard and uncheck auto-capitalization.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It's only your problem..... Don't use swype use samsung keyboard and it will work.... Swype is the problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
Ran some speedtest benchmarks before and after.

No appreciable changes in speed for 4g up or down. IN FACT my best 4g run was prior to making any changes and was:

13893kbps down and 1517 kbps up and those 3 consecutive runs were all about the same so I just had an unusually good connection. Otherwise pre change and post change speeds are consistent for 4g

in 3G mode however my speeds prior to proxy change was about 800kbps down and 300kbps up. After proxy changes my 3G speeds are about 1200kbps down (with a high of 1500kbs) and 300kbps up. So no change in upload speeds and a fair change in 3g download speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
Working now. Needed a reboot to take hold. 3G seems slightly faster, 4G seems unaffected. No telling for sure, because I get horrid reception in my office.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Seems to work well. I have been getting better speeds since I did this. Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
I did this change in the middle of the night almost a week ago. Before I was getting average download speeds of about 500 kbps. After it shot up to 1.2mbps. It also improved the speed of my OGEvo. But, I realized that it only helped during offpeak hours. Once the world wakes up and start to jumble up my bandwidth, my average speeds lower to about 200kbps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoMatt:
Will this affect ability to receive OTA updates from Sprint? Specifically, PRL, Profile, or firmware updates?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
im going to do a few speed tests of before and after, ill post my results
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
I did this tweak and I saw a huge improvement on 3G speeds! I opened up my Miren browser and went to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest (HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SITE) and I got 1.3mbps/300kbps speeds. HUGE improvement over my previous on average speeds of 300-500kbps/100kbps.

Thanks for this, OP!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
mmmm ok i just got my results and it didnt help me any.

my speeds went way down actually...

here are the results

i went from an average of 1000 kbps dl before to 650 kbps dl after the proxy edit

and

an average of 300 kbps ul before to 50 kbps ul after the edit.

dowant work for me...

thank you very much. In my home that I don't get good 3g speeds and very little 4g speeds, now I'm getting faster 3g then 4g lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rapidengage:
I went through the steps listed here not really expecting to see much of a difference..if any difference at all.

And now I sit here shocked..

I went from 676 kbps down to 1,843 down over 3g! I understand this may not work for everyone, as factors such as location, and current network load all come in to play..but it is certainly worth a shot!

If anyone is skeptical, as I would have been if i didnt do it myself; I will be more than happy to post the screen shots and speedtest.net reports. Ty OP!

So is recommended to do this step, and will changing this proxies, leave us out from PRL,Firmware,OTA, Profile Updates?

I know it was asked before, but wasnt fully clarified, and i would like to be ceretain before i do this to my phone, thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Let's just clarify this for everyone who doesn't know this "fix" from previous phones. This does not negate you from any auto update. Matter of fact this "fix" has been used on many phones for years now. Results are always mixed for everybody that tried it no matter what phone or forums. Your maket may vary but, you don't have to worry about not getting update. I also believed someone else already said that earlier in the thread. I believe OP might want to add this to OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
I see no real harm in doing this however, I dont want to say that I recommend this to anyone who may not be comfortable doing this type of thing. I cannot see any reason this change would exclude you from an update and you can always change it back if you wanted to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
Thanks, updated OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crafall:
3g in my area sucks, am getting 30kbps up and down on a good day (usually between 10 and 20). After changing this getting 150kbps down and 100kbps up. so a good improvement, but doesn't fix that sprint 3g speeds are terrible where I am.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
I get much better 4G speeds WITH the proxy servers.

2689k (bursts as high as 6000k) down, 1239k up on 4G

325k (bursts up to 500k) down, 460k up

After disabling proxy's, my 3G speed did increase a little (about 600k), but my 4G down speed dropped to below 1000k. 4g upload stayed about the same.

I'm using the speedtest.net apk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatgenius:
Well my 3G speeds before hand are all over the place, anywhere from 250 - 750kbps download. Unfortunately after doing the tweak 100 - 200kbps downloads. Guess I am not one of the lucky ones who saw an increase.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Amazing.. thank you for this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyingandroid:

I got a jump from 400-700 kbps dl to 700-1100 kbps. Upload was about the same ranging from 200-400 kbps. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
For those not getting any results try rebooting the phone. Also before making the changes take a screen shot of the original settings. Then u can go back and put them in. The rom developers used to take out these proxies on their custom roms on the original epic.

Do you think removing these proxies will allow my phone to connect to my ddwrt router over vpn? As of right now I haven't been able to get this phone to tunnel due to a firewall issue.

EDIT: Well i tried removing these proxies, and I'm still experiencing the same problem trying to connect to my dd-wrt router over VPN - so i guess this tip didnt solve that problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] k0nane:
The 'proper' way to remove these proxies is by hacking them out of the frameworks. I'll post a guide for devs later - if I recall correctly, I was the only one who ever did it right on the OG Epic. But I could be way off base. :)

First two was before the tweak. Middle two was after. And the top two was putting the setting back to what they were.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

In another thread somewhere or another(can't recall which thread ATM)..... someone suggested flashing stock and doing the tweaks, since he seems to recall that the pertinent changes are NVRAM and aren't touched across rom's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ga101698:
Give Calkulin's E4GT v1.5a a try, worse can happen you flash back to stock the back to whatever. As I am sure you are aware use Calkulin's wipe all then flash the Rom. I change the Zimage before flashing rom so I can keep loST v1.0.8 exp. Kernel.....

My personal issue with flashing a different rom would be thus..... The ideal chain of events would have me installing every app fresh and starting over etc. But I really don't want to deal with that timeline involved. Hence my sticking with starburst, I just titanium restore after a rom update.
