Well I don't have an evo, but I will try finding settings for the EVO, when you enter ##data, what options come up?

I may be able to answer your question if you tell me this.
[Epic 4G General] KaL-EL3038:
No bro I meant like for the epic cause I had trouble finding the settings on the epic cause all it say put in the dialer code and then go to wimx but before...you actually have to click edit or view not sure but that wat I meant sorry lol

[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Im having a hard time understanding this "4. Change the Value to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect." So if my phone was by default was -069 or something, wouldn't changing to -110 make my signal weaker? I mean since we are in the negatives anyway further away from 0>-110.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Actually the numbers are in the negatives so -110 is less than -69, you know what I mean
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Lol okay, once I can try to make it more easy to understand I will do that
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
I know that, But if im at -69 already i shouldn't change mines since its stronger already right? This is on a custom Rom don't know if it has anything to do with it.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Try changing it to -110 and see the difference. It might help.
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
It doesn't make the signal weaker, it changes the threshold where the phone stops trying to use 4G and just disconnects.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Ok thanks for Yal help, I can put it to the full test tomorrow on the way to work.
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
Slightly simpler... 'getprop ril.MSL' (case sensitive, without the quotes)

It will list a single six digit number, this is your MSL.

Will this cause any harm at all on our phones ?
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
I did the WIMAX changes based on the original un-simplified instructions and it's done my phone no harm. In fact, I was blazing around on 4g in my apartment last night which I've never been able to do since I got my Epic back in October! I was shocked, believe me. Best I could do before was 1 weak 4g bar that barely worked..
[Epic 4G General] -javier-:
Can anyone post the stock factory settings.

Could not get 4G at all in my house (I am about 35 miles Northwest of Chicago) and had spotty coverage in my general area at best. Now I have 1-2 bars at all times, and full signal strength as soon as I step outside.

This is a great hack. Thanks for the hard work as well as the simplified instructions.

Reporting back this works pretty good now, very few drops on 4g when I'm in a 4g area. Only downside is Its killing my battery lol, I have to cut the thing off sometimes.

Well I successfully did this little trick. I saw marked improvements in speeds last night. Now, this morning, I can't connect to 4G at all. Rut-ro...
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
well, i did not get the 4G hack from that page

I actually found this hack while finding a post that listed all the numbers to dial such as ##Data# and some other numbers to configure the phone such as led testing, gps and compass testing and etc. I went to ##Data# to and it asked to see options such as username. At the bottom, I saw WiMax and wondered if I could do anything to edit the settings. I saw the entryrx setting and tried to edit them and posted my findings. The 3G hack on the other hand, I found on XDA because it was requested. The person requesting it is on the forst page. I will post the link once I find the 3G hack page.

[Epic 4G General] Djarett088:
This mod is for the Samsung EPIC 4g
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
In case it wasn't just a typo, you want the MSL, not MLS... inside connectbot, with a local session running, type in the following (it is CaSe Sensitive):

getprop ril.MSL

If that doesnt work, then you can always get around the need for it by installing LauncherPro or ADW, and create a shortcut directly to the menu bypassing the need for your MSL.... How I do this on my phone (may be different on yours) Add shortcut (for ADW - Custom Shortcut->Pick your activity)->choose Activities->com.android.hiddenmenu->"Menu you want to access"
[Epic 4G General] coloradoman:
Yeah I looked for the MSL (typo before with MLS) I didn't see it in connectbot, (I looked at every single entry several times and didn't see it or anything that has 6 digits). And to clarify what I said earlier, it asks me for a password when I click on edit. It might be because I am using an evo shift or maybe because I only have a temporary root. Anybody know how to get the password? On another note, I was able to click on view instead of edit and see my 4g settings but I haven't been able to edit them. They are all the default settings that you all have been talking about.

Don't know if it's actually any faster, but 2 epics in the household. Mine with the 4G/3G fix (and rooted DK28), one without. Does appear as if mine holds a more stable 4G connection. Seemingly no change under 3G, but hard to say as I use wifi at home mostly to save the battery.

Worthwhile^^
[Epic 4G General] friedricebob:
Sooooo

I'm running DK28 deodex/rooted, and the 3g fix has left me with zero 3g data connectivity.

[Epic 4G General] NeroDan:
FYI, I'm an EVO'r...please don't make fun of my lack of keyboard.

I saw the 3g post and gave it a shot. Before I changed the settings, I ran speedtest.net 5 times with the same server and 5 times after the changes. I tried to keep as many variables the same (same spot on desk, same computer, same programs running, etc) and here are my results.

BEFORE:

132ms average ping

1.212/.308Mb/s U/D

AFTER:

150.8ms average ping

1.612/.436Mb/s U/D

24.8% increase in d/l speed.

29.4% increase in u/l speed.

12.5% INCREASE in ping (no idea why).

I know it isn't the MOST scientific experiment, but I think the results show a legitimate positive increase. Thanks everyone, back to my EVO forum!

Will this increase my chances to get cancer? hah... this may sound funny, but I suppose its a rather serious question that some people might want to know?
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
No, all you are essentially doing with the 4G tweak is lowering the acceptable signal strength in order to connect to WiMax as well as making the phone check signal conditions more frequently. The 3G hack removes the proxy servers Sprint funnels a lot of Internet traffic through in order to decrease load on their network by caching content and re-encoding streaming multimedia to a lower bitrate (quality) so your surfing and other net-intensive activities are perceptively faster in theory. But they also throttle your bandwidth to reduce network congestion so they don't have to actually do something responsible like upgrade back-haul to towers. BUT for WiMax, the worse the signal, the less efficient the modulation gets. This is actually a very strong argument against LTE being more advanced because it doesn't do nearly as well in capacity handling because it uses a slightly less complex modulation technique. WiMax uses SOFDMA, while LTE uses OFDMA.

It looks like my phone has a front facing camera but when I log in to Skype, video chat is not an option. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help!
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
D2 doesn't have a front facing camera.
[Droid 2 General] Gooner513:
What he said. What you're thinking is a front facing camera is probably the ambient light sensor in the upper right hand corner.
[Droid 2 General] Quacker:
The Skype app, contrary to what most people would obviously assume, does not feature any kind of video chatting/calling feature. You are also most likely confusing the notification LED with a front-facing camera.

There is a free app on the Market, though, that provides video chatting capability; it's called Tango. I've tried it several times, and while it's a bit awkward video chatting with cameras on the back of both phones, it still works well enough that I can both see and hear the person I'm calling. The only annoyance I've had with the app so far is the noticeable sound delay, and it has some mixed overall reviews, but it's the only video calling app that seems to be viable.

Tango works alright. Try using it while standing in front of a mirror and it works pretty well on D2
