Update..... did a handsfree Activate...... no change in speeds..... put the settings back in place, speeds recovered....mostly.... The pings however, were consistently averaged... Before tweak, approx 120, after tweak, ~200, reapply proxy, back to ~120. So I'm thinking the Sprint towers in my area just suck ass. I roam alot when at work(thick walled buildings) which is the reason I wanted to try the tweak. I can forceroam(Roam Control and PRL 11115 FTW!) onto an Alltel tower, or occasionally Verizon, and get noticeably better speeds and building penetration.

Oh well, stuck with an Awesome Phone, crippled by a not-so-great network!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Just removed the proxies and both my download and upload doubled, on average. I averaged around 250 kbps down / 150 kbps up before removing the proxies, after removing the proxies I'm averaging around 600-700 kbps download and 300-400 kbps upload. I peaked at 1300 kbps dl / 400 ul. I have to say that's a pretty nice improvement, if it sticks.

Thanks for posting this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexcar45:
Following this guide I was able to go in 4G from 2.3 MBPS download to 5.8MBPS download, testing both times in the same location.

Great improvement, I changed the EntryRX to -110 as well, maybe that helped too, I found an article on how to do it, here it is:

Any impact on 3g at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] <3me:
Went from .41 mbps to 1.24 mbps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Go Gators1:
Thank you for posting this! I was getting 200-300kbps down on 3g and now I'm averaging 1mb down! Awesome! Huge improvement!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
No real change in speed, but now at least I can easily connect to my home servers using their domain names.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
applied the changes. 3g speed went about half % down.. and 4g speed went up about 20%..

i did reboot and everything. not sure what i did wrong. or if these are just for some people.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
ffs went from 2mbps to 11mbps in pittsburgh on 4g. and from 200k to 700k on 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
I remember this working well on my EVO.

Doesn't work so well on the E4GT like a few others.

Could be because there's only one data tower within a 20-mile radius with no planned upgrades in the next 6 months:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jromankvcc:
I did over 50 tests before and after changes.

4G

Before changes:

7. 63 mbps dl

1. 4 mbps ul

After changes:

8. 75mbps dl

1. 45 mbps ul

3G

Before changes:

850 kbps dl

288 kbps ul

After changes:

725 kbps dl

299 kbps ul

So 4G oddly improved a little, but only saw minimal gains on 3g upload speed, which is slow anyway. Download speed was reduced, and I believe the entire purpose of these changes was to get better 3g dl anyway lol.

I also tried to do the wimax changes, but wimax only shows up on view mode when 4G is on. I cannot get to the edit mode to test those changes. I did notice the guide in that page was referring to the Epic4g as opposed to the E4GT, so maybe there's another way to get to that menu in edit mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Just one test but I went from D:640 U:613 P:104 to D:1147 U:824 P:86

So there was significant improvement in speed for me. This honestly makes a ton of sense. There is no inherent reason why Verizon should be faster than Sprint when they have equivalent signal. Sprint having crappy proxies would absolutely do it and bypassing them should improve the speed in areas where your Sprint proxies are horrid.

I got almost 180% better down and 135% better up plus a better ping. I would say Sprint's proxies suck pretty bad here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] polska2180o:

Just more out of curiosity, why would you want to set it to 0.0.0.0 rather then just having it "not set" or blank?

quad0 address represents all ip address on the local device, wouldn't "not set" be better?

not getting MSL

I have a non-rooted E4GT running 4.0.4 FI27. I was trying to use the directions in this thread to bypass the Sprint proxies but when I type in getprop ril.MSL into either ConnectBot or Android Terminal Emulator, I get nothing. I think once I get my MSL I can move on to the next steps. Thanks for the help.

Your location has more of an impact than the proxy setting. Depending on where I am I get up to 2.2mbps down 900kbps up

No it doesn't slow down. Everything is about location and reception nothing more or less. Deleting proxy to speed up is a myth. ;)

By the way. Removing the proxies I've found BROKE Pandora. It worked ONCE, then I restarted my phone (changed some settings and had to) and Pandora WOULD NOT CONNECT. I had to go in an set the proxies back to default to get it working again.

I notice no problems with streaming youtube as long as I have a decent connection.

I also have no buffer problems with Pandora on high quality working 8 hour shifts inside a steel building (USPS main plant in arizona)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
after applying this you should clear google services framework and then power down and pull out battery for 2minutes then boot in recovery wipe the cache and reboot. Also if your still having signal probs try installing a signal booster/fixer from app market. It resets the signal so its nice and fresh you may also want to try this step before clearing data from google services framework.

also check your traceroutes i think i was getting 1-7 with 3g signal, and i noticed sometimes i would get maybe 4 valid transfers out of 7 before it refreshed this may cause lag of data connecting. Even though my packets said only 1 drop =%100 loss transmitted i was seeing these as traceroutes, ????, and 12! wierd symbols rather than special digit numbers. Maybe Mod the amount possible before refreshing will cause less lag? im pretty sure everything set up like this for a reason so the unlimited data networks can be governed than blammed on our digital networks rather than blaming the company from starving us of what they advertise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
FYI:

Clearing Google Services Framework it NOT a good idea unless you are going to factory reset after. It breaks Push notifications and cause Play Store download errors in custom ROMs.

That's it's only useful to force OTA then Factory reset after OTA.

About signal booster = Placebo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I just went through hell after deleting google services framework. I found through bbs it was constantly wakelocking my phone trying to start gtalk. It couldn't because I removed that app. Luckily I had backed gsf up before I deleted. Restored and all is well. So I can plus 1 removing nor clearing its data is good. At least in my experience

epic 4g touch disabling proxy

I live in Orange County, CA and last week sprint was undergoing maintenence on the towers. It made my epic 4g touch do crazy things! Anyways, a few days ago I noticed my youtube videos in HD were showing up blurry like if it was not on HD. I thought it could be just the youtube app. so I reboot my phone and updated the app. Didnt seem to work. So instead I tried my browser and went to youtube.com and the same problem happened. Blurry videos on HD. I then tried other websites and the same problem occured. I called sprint and they said it could be an internal problem with the phone and told me to take it to a sprint store. I didnt do that. I did a factory reset, used odin one click root no data and restock back to the basics just like the phone came out when it was brand new. Youtube seemed to work fine after that. so i started to test my phone with all the hacks. I been disabling my proxy server for 5 months and i never had any issues since a few days ago, but after conducting alot of test I finally managed to figure out the problem. Disabling proxy server no longer works for me in my area. I found this out by changing the settings and watching videos on the internet and all the videos came out blurry just like before. Then i changed it back to the orginal settings rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com, 554, pd.vog.sprintpcs.com, 8085. With the orginal settings it works normal and with the hack its a peice of **** now. BUT! with the hack I still get high speed browsing just blurry videos. I dont know what the problem is, but it looks like sprint finally caught up with the diabling proxy hack. Just thought I'd post this just in case anyone is having the same issue.

-Steven
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SPerry714:
Victory

About the current issue I posted up above. I fixed the problem by conducting another test. There is a way to fix the multimedia video issues if your having a blurry screen when playing HD videos with your epic 4g touch. Sprint has a coded Network reset but you need to know the following things:

MSL #

Phone #

MSID# u

Sprint network reset

##72786#

enter your MSL #

its going to ask you if you want to make a change. CLICK YES. and it'll automatically reboot.

When your phone turns back on go type ##(your MSL)#

click edit

EDIT YOUR PHONE NUMBER BY PRESSING YOUR NUMBERS

CLICK SAVE OR NEXT. THEN ITS GOING TO ASK FOR YOUR MSID#, CLICK SAVE AND IT SHOULD REBOOT YOUR PHONE.

When your phone turns back on.. it should say activating device. let it activate.

When activated press ##3282#, enter your MSL and enter. Go to OTHERS, MULTIMEDIA, change the...

RTSP PROXY ADDRESS: 0.0.0.0

RTSP PROXY PORT: 0

HTTPPD PROXY ADDRESS: 0.0.0.0

HTTPPD PROXY PROXY PORT: 0

and your all set :victory:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
If you do the ##72786# enter msl and confirm you don't need to enter phone# and msid because it will do it automatically when running hands free activation after a few seconds of boot.

Also this won't improve any speed at all. It's a myth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tphoang:
When I type ##3282# into my dialer, it doesn't popup the view/edit option. I'm running cm9 4.0.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Dialer codes do not work on CM9 / CM10 only work on TWiz ROMS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tphoang:
So there's no way for me to do this hack without having to reflash back over to the TWiz rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
First this do not make any noticeable change in speeds is a myth.

Second if you are in CM9 or 10 no need since CM removed proxies already. ;)

But if you want temp flash to a TWiz ROM and do it (or try what AssMilk suggest below this post). (temp flash will add proxies and when go back to CM will remove) so is a waste of time. IMO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tphoang:
for cm9 users use the code *#*#3282#*#*

EDIT: looks like using this way, I get a modem error. Seems like there's no way to use this other than flashing to a TWiz rom first then back to cm9.

does it really? I didn't know that. I've never read any of the cm change logs that states that.

EDIT AGAIN: went into view and RTSP address/port and HTTPPD address/port were all set to 'not set' so I guess cm9 did get rid of the proxies. That's awesome!

what he said lol.. hes basically manually programming the phone.. how can this improve data speeds?

Then your proxies are most likely located in one if the other options in the Data Menu, they should be called the same thing as in the guide, just do some digging around.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Code Of Conduct123:
For stupid people....

If you screw up your network settings just to a RTN RESET its not a factory reset like most of all think you must know yours spc\msl code.I know mine for my moto g.the dialer code is ##786#. Use this if need it.

.And its for CDMA phones ONLY!!!! the ones without Card called a sim-card.

Tutorial Repair MicoSD Card After Mango Lock! in Windows Apperently HD2 only! s!

okay This tutorial will not work on the real protected WP7 sdcard, only for hacked HD2

only problum is I have'nt tested it so I will need a test rabbit to stab with a needle! if he is sic then he wont have any problum doing so! please volentear!

okay so this is how its done!

first fallow this tutorial for MicroSdCard repair!

Step #1. do a google search for "hp drive key boot utility" Download it to your computer! (the name of the exe after extracted is "hpdkbu.exe"(I have windows 7 & the utility would not install on my system if this is the case for you as well just click extract instead of install & run the hpdkbu.exe. that I just mentioned) hopefully you have a usb adapter...or card reader pluged in. Run the utility select the drive letter for your MicroSD card that is in the usb or card reader mine was "e"...

click next... then select create new or replace (its already checked) hit next... select hard drive (its already checked) hit next... select create new file system (its already checked) hit next... then it says something at the bottom then says formatting...

here is the weird part of the tutorial the program stops responding... right about when it gets to the part that says something about lunixsys file because the exe wont be useing that part of the program. Dont sweat it just end task it... now go to my computer & look at your properties for the drive (should say 0 free 0 used)... now right click on the drive and select format... now you can see your card in windows but the partiton will be unreconised as well as the size!

Step #2. Okay now that the mbr has ben repaired & windows sees the card we move on to kill disk! do a google search for this program kill disk!

use it on your micro sd card!

Step #3.after that you may need to reformat it

note thare are to diffrent versions of killdisk #1 works in windows the other is a lunix distro that is a bootable disk if you use the lunix disto you can skip step 1

& one more note apperently the program killdisk takes a realy long time to run xda user Perlian reported that he had ran the program for over 5hr's but in the end his MicroSD card was repaired!

(origanal quote)

Now someone test my lil tut & post your results!

if this post helped please say thanks to keep the thread alive

fingers crossed!​

then windows could see the still locked card!
