BAD FOR ME! AHH!

well, I'm really not sure if I can blame this "fix" for what happened to my phone, but it was the only thing I did to my phone modding wise that day. An hour or two after I applied this my phone did a force restart and got stuck on the white "htc evo" boot screen. It could have easily been something else, but like I said: it did happen an hour after I did this.

Oh well. I had everything backed up. It gave me the push to try out cm7 and now I'm as happy as can be!

NEED HELP

I made the changes and I noticed that I lost 3G data connection. I can connect with wifi and 4G though. Reverted back to stock values and still nothing. I rebooted, tried to update profile under "Software Update" and even tried flashing ROM over again... still no go. Having 3G is necessary when I'm out and about and there's no 4G/wifi access available.

Been using Ava-Froya Z3

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] poulosjr:
Just did this....went from 1.2-1.5 to around 2-2.4mbps.

Question now is, is there a speed boost tweak for 4G?? :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] niphoet:
Will this work for Cyanogen----just kidding!!!!

I tried this last night, and while tethering, here's what I noticed:

Before: my download speeds would range anywhere from 15k/sec to 95 k/sec, VERY finicky.

After: consistently 85-95 k/sec. Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Animatorman:
Haven't ran a sense rom in a long time after flashing back to sense and trying to run these settings it appears that Im already using those new values . Anyone else find this ??? Back to CM7 in go ....
[EVO 4G Android Development] tempe38:
I tried this last night and didn't see a huge jump in 3G from home but at work today I clocked over 1mbps for the first time ever. I usually get between 200 to 400k and sometimes it's as bad as under 100k. Also had turned off HQ on Youtube and still had issues with streaming. Haven't had any problems streaming today after this tweak and I've actually been able to use Last.fm when previously I couldn't get it to connect. So far this is pretty sweet, I'll have to try it on Sprint TV later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
damn would it really be that easy to fix my mistake?? wow. I wish i had more patience and didn't reformat the phone last night :) Oh well - thanks for the info. I'm tempted to screw it up again just see if it works now ... after i make a backup though :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DonSolo:
Thanks Ava! I'm using my Evo on boost so my 3g speed wasn't all that... but after flashing to your latest Ava Rom I notice it gave my 3g speeds a kick! And now that I used your technique I'm at regulation Sprint 3g speeds! I really appreciate ya! Wednesday night expect a donation from D-Solo fa sho!

Awesome. Doubled my speeds.

I was unable to change the port though. It kept saying that 0 was an invalid character, but it still doubled my speeds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kybeck55:
I agree....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Shift:
Ok a little update. I am using an Evo Shift, not rooted or anything.

I thought I would be smart and also change the RTSP values to 0. Big mistake. If you are running an Evo Shift do not change those. Once I did the app force closes itself everytime I tried to get back in. I could not get in to change the settings back to normal. I tried rebooting and pulling the battery and everything. I ended up factory resetting my phone.

Maybe there was a faster way of going back to before I made the change but I am not rooted and did not have any backups done.

So, note to self. Don't fool around with things you don't understand. Changing the HTTP values works though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
I also did something that screwed up the settings. I also did a factory reset to fix it. Although in an earlier post someone suggested turning wifi on and off to reset it. Don't know if that would work or not since i did the reset before trying it. Just passing it along in case it might help in the future. There was also another suggestion for editing a file that appears to contain these settings, but you'd need to be rooted to do that. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10830178&postcount=153 Thats the post showing where the files are.

I'm lovin' the fix. Works great.

Question: If I nandroid my current setup with the fix, play with some other roms, will it still be there when I restore?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DonSolo:
I'm wondering this myself!

Sent from my Evo 4g in the Hood...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeEIB:
The answer is yes, all the info stays intact after restoring a nan. I just did it
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
You can try editing these two files:

/data/data/com.google.android.epst

You'll see a http_proxy file in there. by default, at least for me on sprint, it's set to:

pd.vog.sprintpcs.com:8085

Try changing that to

0.0.0.0:0

NOTE: i haven't tried doing this myself yet, so don't blame me if something goes wrong :) i suggest doing a backup before trying it. I'm going to try it myself when i get into a better signal area so i can see if this method works by testing the d/l speeds.

If that's the case I should be able to flash a sense rom, apply the fix and restore back to CM7, it should still be there?
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaHater:
My 3G speeds went up an average of about .5kbps. Awesome!!! Very happy with that!! Right on to who found this out!!

I'm pretty sure you cant.. they said the coordinates can only be imputed into sense roms. But I believe there is a manual workaround somewhere in this thread :)

The password is... [in The Cable Guy's, Jim Carry voice from Porno-Password]… your MSL number :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I'm on the Sense ROM and when I clicked edit mode, it asked for a password. What should I do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
Yes your theory is correct :-)

It should save the new input in the phones internal sections that aren't affected by ROMs, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
i am trying this mod...

white evo version 003

Myn's Warm RLS5

netarchy-Toastmod 4.3.1

i dont really see any differnece.

using speedtest.net app

but my connection 3G.. at home.. has flaky... sometimes fast.. most times slow..

will run it for a few days.. and see.

update 1:

in my home.. 4G is very iffy. I have not used it.. in a long time.

so I can not say this is caused by this mod or not.

normally.. best I can get is 2 bars.. maybe a sec or so with 3 bars.

now I have 4-5 bars!!!!! and it is fast..

3.2mb - 4.8mb

upload speeds are crap... but acceptable.

86kb -598kb

update 2:

after i finished messing and testing this mod.. my battery was low.. threw it on the charger.

unplugged at 1am @ 66%; checked weather and when to bed.

woke up at 6:30am: checked weather; emails; a little navigation and traffic;

it is now 8am and at the office..

it is still at 66%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF????
[EVO 4G Android Development] dw3bb10:
WOW, my 3G speeds almost doubled!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
Is this a 1 time mod?

Or, do we have to redo this after...

-every reboot?

-every new ROM flash?

Sounds promising, great find!
[EVO 4G Android Development] PM-Performance:
Its a one time mod. I rebooted a few times and checked it and it keeps.

At work my speeds were like 200-400kb before the mod. Now I have been seeing almost 1MB speeds. so I am happy in that aspect.

However going in other areas where I saw higher speeds, these speeds seemed like they lowered which it weird.

Internet access doesnt really seem faster, but Youtube plays with 0 buffering as far as I can see

Anyone have the zip im talking about ?? Or is there an app I can download to get access to the EPST ??

[EVO 4G Android Development] drummer2780:
One question... if this doesnt work for me can i just go back and plug in the port and the other thing that was there since the start..?? and would it go back to normal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] altosvirtual:
I try this and i don´t see any difference, in fact, i think the speed is a little bit worst, but in im Mexico tought:p, so i think this hack only works in the sprint network, cuz im at iusacell (my carrier).

If i wanna go back i just have to enter the numbers and adreeses, like it was before?, my wife has another evo, so i can get the parameters from there, they are all the same right?

:confused:

thanx a lot anyways, it was wort to try it, i appreciate your work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
This thread is not a fail because this is the first time I've seen it and it helped me. So englighten us with your astute critique? Where did this start? How does it work? Do you know where I can that information? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LoneStarPhD:
Thanks. It was me.

All this does is revert the proxy settings back to pre-3.70. Sprint implemented the proxy server for some undisclosed or future use. However, many streaming apps use a local proxy they create on the phone. Trying to stream through two proxies is not going to work.

This is not meant to increase your speed and will not hurt your speed. It will only get the data straight from the host to you without going through a proxy.

Those of you that report lower speeds, frozen phones, and insect infestations just have some other issue not related to these settings.

[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonK75:
I'm afriad it wont work. When you flash it reverts back. It is talked about in the OP and the first few pages. Basically it will work on Sense and not AOSP ROMs, and flash back and forth wont work like how the PRL updates do. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] squigglyrulez:

[EVO 4G Android Development] cisco1960:
Sooo, is there a default password to enter edit mode? I don't ever remember setting one and I would assume that since the phone has been rooted and flashed with your TRULY SWEET ROM all that the password sb a default one.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
In the OP, it says you need your MSL. There are a couple ways to get this. The easiest, if you are rooted, is the MSL app in the market. The MSL is the password that is needed.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
people that are confused about the password and MSL...

the instructions.. 1st line... clearly states.... to read letter for letter.. word for word.

if you can not fallow that simple of instructions.... you might consider rethinking modifying your phones.

i am just saying...would not want you too... get yourself into situations that will cause more issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... i took a few minutes to edit the smali files in epst.apk so that the tweak will be in there by default.

this apk is probably more for the dev's that make roms to use in their rom so that the speed tweak will be included in the rom by default and will not need to be applied by the user.

im attaching the modified apk.

@ava

feel free to add it to the OP so people can use it.

thanks.

have fun.

p.s.

This was tested on my rom that i flashed after a full wipe (data/system/etc.).... i didnt test if it works just by pushing the apk.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
So ive been trying to get my Msl password via Msl App on the market but every time I start the application it freezes my phone. It even says on the app that if it freezes you'll have to do a battery pull. I've ran the Msl app over 20 times now and over 20 battery pulls with no luck lol..anyone having the same issues using the Msl app on the market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
^^^ are u rooted??? I think it requires root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
Yes i'm rooted, well i guess my only option is to call sprint. I was actually avoiding calling them since it takes forever to get a hold of them from my experience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
what app are you using..

the one I used was... "MSL Reader" by ESCcode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
Yes thats the app i've been trying to get the MSL. It say its not for the Evo but I was reading the comments on there and it works perfectly for a lot of evo users. I guess my evo is the only one it doesn't work on lol..and knowing Sprint they'll probably give me crap and try to interrogate me on why I need my MSL password lol grrr...
[EVO 4G Android Development] traybent:
After I get to edit mode it as for password
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
i read the app description in the market.. it says it is made for HTC devices .. including the EVO.

so you might have the wrong device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
It's the right app its the only MSL reader I see in the market. I'll just call sprint tomorrow and get my MSL. Tried the app again just now and still doesn't work for me. I'm not even going to bother with it anymore. It probably just doesn't like my phone. Yeah I just went and checked the description on the market and I read it wrong, it is for the evo but not for my evo since it keeps freezing on me lol..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ticklemepinks:
well it's really shotty for me, sometimes i get great speeds other 0.16 mbps down :-(
[EVO 4G Android Development] danman132x:
I dont have the exact numbers, but I will say I have been testing this the last few days, and my speeds took a major drop over the 3 days I had this 0.0.0.0 stuff in effect. I reverted back, updated profile, rebooted, and my speeds are all back to normal. So in my test, this didn't help at all, just thought id contribute my review.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evilbeef54:
same fix we've been using for almost a year to get pandora running on the moment, just did it on my new evo, jumped to 5.3mbps down 1.5 mbps up on 4g from inside a 50 yr old steel ship :D thanks for the reminder on this fix
[EVO 4G Android Development] toneman1984:
What program are you all using to test download speeds?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CeloCRF:
Same here (NJ) except my speeds took a major dive instantly. Either in my home or on the street, me speeds were reduced after the fix. I reverted back to stock. Oh well...

This fix made my streaming worse.

What are the old settings?

If you devs want this in your rom, PLEASE make it optional...
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
I have to say, my experience after making this change is also negative. Although i haven't had a chance to test it extensively, so maybe my bad experience was a fluke. I was in a car last night in an area with a good signal, and google maps was slow as hell updating.

I'm going to test it again when i'm home later tonight and see if there's a difference.

Ok so I tried this again... my dl went from .19 megs to 1.01. No issues thus far. I'm wondering when I did this the first time did I screw up one of the other settings in epst and didnt realize it. We'll see how it goes but so far so good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
my epst crashes now when i go to the advanced setting.... I reflashed the rom but still crashes....

Any idea?
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
i had the same problem.

Did you do a factory reset? That fixed it for me. Also, some people suggested doing the following:

open root explorer (or some other app like it) and go to:

/data/data/com.google.android.epst/

edit the http_proxy file - it should look like 0.0.0.0:0

I didnt try doing this when i had the problem since i didn't know about it then and had already done a factory reset. So - i'd try this first since it's less hassle. If it doesnt work, then try the factory reset.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PM-Performance:
Mine is weird. . . .

I get sick 3G speeds all the sudden at work, but near home they tanked.

I just reapplied the stock settings and my 3G at work is still the same as with the fix (has always been horrid here in the past)

I will check at home tonite now because I am curious.

[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
i've noticed when using the speedtest.net app that you seem to get higher speeds if you test it 2-3 times - i'm wondering if there's some sort of caching going on with sprint that might account for the subsequent faster speeds? if speedtest.net always downloads the same thing for each test, could sprint be caching it somehow?

Thou shall not flame me with "read the post above yours" because I never changed anything.
