If the testamonies throughout the thread wasn't enough for you...let me add: yes it do
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Man, this is one of the best mods I have made to my phone. If you are in a 4G area, you have to give this a shot.
[Epic 4G General] prboy1969:
Did this and now my signal is way better. Wouldn't have believed it. But now I have 4G signal where I didn't before.

[Epic 4G General] thacoolestnerd:
Can anyone please explain how I can do this mod on the Nexus S 4g please????
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
i'd very much assume the same way. unless gingerbread changed that part also.
[Epic 4G General] thacoolestnerd:
Yea it did change because it seems like I can't edit the wimax settings for some strange reason. I'm hoping they didn't block editing the wimax settings
[Epic 4G General] nyeazyone:
I'm on CM7 and the dialer code does not work. Is there a workaround or am i going to have to flash stock?
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
Can someone pls post all the stock wimax extensions. I wrote them down, but it got lost. The settings I have now are from an earlier post that modified a bunch. These are sticking through odins and flashes. I'm thinking they might be detrimental to bat life and want to test more. Thanks...
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
Somoeone posted this in the EVO thread back in like NOV. Is it the same after all our updates:

Here are the Wimax default settings on my epic

MSL reader gives Error: dev/smd0 does not exist. Tips?

On an epic running syndicate 1.1.1.
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
From a local connect bot session, type “getprop ril.MSL” . And then tell me what all your extensions are defaulted at!
[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
getprop irl.MSL returns a blank line.

I browsed to the dev directory on my phone and there is no smd0 folder. Is this normal?
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
I've heard the app doesn't work on our phone. Did u type irl or ril.MSL. I know theres a typo somewhere!
[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
getprop displays everything except the MSL. getprop ril.MSL returns a blank line.

The modem is EC05. I read somewhere that the MSL is not viewable in EC05. Is this true?

Edit-

Either way, I am flashing back to EB13 stock. I will root and see if I can pull up the MSL then.

I will post the default configs for you if it all works out. (hopefully it does)

Update:

My MSL is now visible running EB13, so I guess I confirmed that your MSL is not visible in EC05.

The default extensions are the same ones you posted on the previous page.

00002

00120

Thanks for this post. Once I flash my custom ROM I will try it out and see if I can pick up 4g more often.
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
Congrats! I'm on EC05 and just tried getprop ril.MSL, and it worked. So I don't know what the deal is.

Thanks for confirming the defaults. I've read through a bunch of threads and have a good knowledge of what all the values are for. Will soon post with a little guide and some recommendations. It really depends on what your goals are, and some of the values floating around turn your battery guage into a clock you can watch spin down!
[Epic 4G General] ErlyD:
Make sure MSL is caps. Lower case you get blank
[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
Im not stupid. lol

MSL reader also said the phone wasnt compatible. Must have been a bug when flashing my rom the first time. After going back to stock I could get my MSL.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I am glad other people are having success with this. It has been one of the best tweaks I have made to my phone.
[Epic 4G General] ErlyD:
No harm just a simple mistake. Can be made.

[Epic 4G General] NiMiNuM:
Having a problem. Scan retry only gives me an option to enter 1-4 digits, scan attempts only 1-3 digits and entryCINR only 1-2 digits. I can't do what the instructions say to do. Any ideas why?
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
You don't need leading zeros. Just enter the last relative digets. It will automatically fill in the leading zeros.

After I set 4G to -96 i'm stuck with a pop up saying "Please wait while committing change..." its been about 5 min now. Any idea what went wrong and how to get it to stop without breaking anything?

Edit: Nvm, pressing the search button on phone cleared the popup and the setting stayed. But now you know what to do if it happens to you.
[Epic 4G General] Oldbluesman:
After updating the Wimax settings I have noticed better 4G performance running rooted stock EC05.

I also changed the Multmedia settings and EVDO seems to post a better speed test result but real world I haven't noticed a difference as it was always pretty fast anyway.

I should have wrote them down but would someone post all the stock proxy and port info under Multimedia? I would like to do some comparison testing. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
is there another way to get in this menu? When I dial ##3282# it says the number or code u dialed is not in service lol

edit: on era ec05 rom
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
I can't find the ril.msl on connectbot? Its not coming up

I connected 4g and chose local and entered getprop and the list comes but I can't find an msl number in it

I think the 4g wasn't really connected but does it have to b fully connected when I create the local setting and enter getprop?

Nvm I found it and did it I'm not sure of any differences tho..
[Epic 4G General] ae69ae:
This still works On Bonsai B16 :)

my 3G was 200ish to 300kbps, now It's 700kbps consistently. I can feel a huge difference browsing through the Market Place and surfing through Google News.

I also get a solid 3mbps with 4G inside my house[and it doesn't disconnect]. It used to connect and just disconnect seconds after before on 4G.

Thank you. This should be a sticky
[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
Is this the same type of mod you were testing "3G Turbocharger?" - In the OP, the screen shot seems to suggest that this is for a gsm phone.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I did the 4G adjustments. It lowers the minimum signal strength so its not searching constantly. I never use 3G so I didn't mess with that end...
[Epic 4G General] ErlyD:
I know I'm not in nexus forum but has anyone ever expirienced the msl not working? I got mine from ril.MSL enter it when asked and it shoots me back to menu. Everytime. Does nothing. Nonrooted
[Epic 4G General] presumedsublime:
Are the values supposed to change for the 3g tweak? I'm running RandomRom Hawk V2 and it only shows <not set> under the header but when I open to check it shows the values I entered. Is this normal?
[Epic 4G General] presumedsublime:
EDIT>>> Please ignore the last question. For anyone on GB 2.3.4 I did my own testing with Speed Test and found that the 3g boost from zeppelinrox w/out the data tweak worked much better than anything else (.7 mbs compared to .5 mbs avg). I'd like to thank Random for an amazing ROM here since I don't have enough posts to do it in the development section!
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
This has worked very well for me. I did it months ago and never lose 4G inside my house anymore
[Epic 4G General] Robalboa:
this is the right way

not sure if your figured it out yet, as i havent had time to read all the posts here..

But type getprop ril.MSL just like that and it will automatically give you the MSL number..
[Epic 4G General] pioneersnt:
Sense I'm nowhere near a 4g area I only did the 3g port fix described in post #81.

I actually fixed and returned to stock several times and ran speed test each time.

I followed the exact same procedure each time. Power off, reboot fully, task mgr clear memory then run speed tests. All tests were pinged to the same host.

The results:

Stock 5 test average.........Highest...........Lowest

Ping=175.4ms...................239................132

D/L =83.2kb/s...................125.3.............51.4

U/L =47.4kb/s...................61.1...............40.0

Fixed 5 test average

Ping=187.8ms....................306................115

D/L =52.9kb/s....................97.7...............20.3

U/L =46.6kb/s....................56.5...............37.0

Returned to stock

6 test average

Ping=209.3ms.....................304................131

D/L =99.2kb/s.....................182.4.............33.2

U/L =37.9kb/s.....................68.3...............19.1

Fixed 6 test average

Ping=128.5ms......................143................102

D/L =68.1kb/s......................112.6.............46.8

U/L =37.8kb/s......................58.2...............17.6

Returned to stock

3 test average

Ping=217ms.........................294................126

D/L =62.4kb/s......................86.5...............32.3

U/L =58.9kb/s......................72.5...............47.3

Fixed 3 test average

Ping=150ms.........................196................119

D/L =82.3kb/s......................98.0...............66.2

U/L =44.7kb/s......................48.5...............42.5

My conclusion is, at least in my current location, that the 3g port fix had no effect on signal strength, stability or speed. I'll have to give it a try in other locations.

Here at the house the signal strength ranges from 0-3 bars. Stability is not great and will fluctuate constantly most of the time, but average 1-2 bars.

Not sure if this means anything to anyone, but those are my results. Just thought I'd share.

I know this is a resurrected old thread, but thanks for the info, it was fun play'n with it.
[Epic 4G General] RyleyinSTL:
How do I go about this with Gingerbread? ##3282# brings up a Data Programming menu with View and Edit.

EDIT:

Never mind... figured it out. Do the below but type in -110 not -00110 as you might expect.
[Epic 4G General] ds1gig:
This kinda worked!
[Epic 4G General] poodleDoo:
It worked like a charm on my GB rooted e4g.

I get 4g signal in all of the rooms at my home, I didn't before the change.
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
Too bad we can't do this on cm9/7/aokp

The code to bring it up on this is *#*#3282#*#* but it will not accept any msl you put in, always returns with modem exception

Would be nice if the kexec bootable had connectivity so that we could update those settings easily, as opposed to backing up, flashing a GB rom, and then flashing cm9 again and reinstall everything because the backup will restore all those settings you just corrected...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No. These are NVRAM settings and should stick through a nandroid.
[Epic 4G General] Blankrubber:
Could we do this for the temp SD card boot you think?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I have not tried but I thought someone did and the dialer codes would not work but can someone confirm?
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I tried it, but 4g has to be turned on for you to make any changes, you can't turn 4g on on the sd bootable

I'm rooted but can't access the ##3282# menu I'm on evo v 4g but I have the evo 3d radios

i seem to have entyrx and not entryrx... its weird to see a typo in the firmware .... rveryone else has the same?

also the second number cinr is at 00004 right now and changing it to 0004 puts back the extra 0 again to make it 00004....is it right?
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
So... does this increase 3g too or just 4g? I'm relatively close to a 4g area but I don't get it around here confirmed at the Sprint store.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Ok everyone, I edited my post for the people who are having trouble with the MSL, go to the front and try now. and the 4G change of settings will not affect 3G.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Look at my new instructions, this might help
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
So basically this is for 4g only... Hrmmm, well something to keep in mind when 4G gets down here. I'm about an hour away east AND north from 4G zones so hopefully they start migrating that service out here...
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Well, I also added a 3G boost setting at the first post, look there and that might help you! :)
[Epic 4G General] jordan2333:
Thank you very much.Finally got it to work.
[Epic 4G General] rangerover_95:
Just tried it where I have great signal, seems to be consistanly faster, I will report back soon on whether it has stretched my coverage on 4G. I can usually get good coverage outside my apartment, but it dissapears when I go inside....

Go Ducks! Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Looks like it changed the calculation on the signal bars of 4g too. I had one to two bars and now its a solid three. Not necessarily a stronger signal just changed the range I guess. No change in speed noticed yet.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
How does this affect battery life?
[Epic 4G General] Art77:
Thanks for the info!!
[Epic 4G General] KaL-EL3038:
trouble

hey guys when i was doing the 3g fix i accidently put 0 on the RTSP proxy port and i am afraid i messed something up.. so does anybody know if its the same for everyne????..also the 4g thing it might have worked i am not sure cause my bars didnt go up but i think my speed went up so i think thanks!!!
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
RTSP Proxy Port Default is 554.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
It shouldn't affect battery life too much, as long as you turn off 4g when you are not using it, yoyou should be good
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Mine was 8085 before I made it 0. Is that something the rom dev would have done?
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
8085 is the HTTPPD Proxy Port, while 554 is the RTSP Proxy Port
[Epic 4G General] youngpro83:
Okay so I connected 4g and then did this "hack" and now my 4g will no longer connect. It keeps searching and then says disconnected....Over and over and over again. Any suggestions??
[Epic 4G General] niv3d:
Ok so I did the 3G fix and my connectivity decreased quite a bit. Can anyone provide the default settings? I know the HTTPD Proxy Port default is 8085. What is the HTTPD Proxy Address default? Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
I believe the address were as follows (for reference):

rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com

port 554

pd.vog.sprintpcs.com

port 8085
[Epic 4G General] niv3d:
Thanks Kodiac! Has anyone else experienced a decrease with the 3g fix?
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
Yes, mine decreased significantly. Before using the 3g fix I would average 700 to 1000 kbps download speed. That dropped to maxing out at around 200 kbps. I tried to put back in the default values to see if that would get me back to my previous speeds, but it's still very slow. I'm leaning towards clearing the data in cwm to see if that helps. Any other suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] JudasD:
You sir have been thanked. This tweak rocks!!!! i could never get 4g inside my home. It would only work outside. Now it works inside AND i see 4mb/sec!! This is faster than my DSL in the house! So the big question is do i cancel my DSL and just tether my 4g inside the house? hmmmm

JD
[Epic 4G General] youngpro83:
No. I did the hack and mine is much faster. Connecting and browsing the web is a lot faster. I did a test with my phone(with the hack) and my wife's phone(without) and my phone loads 2 to 3 seconds faster. Not a big jump but I tested a few pages and websites. Mine is noticeably faster. Didnt do an actual speed test like some of these other ppl have done...I dont know how to do that stuff. But just testing using it physically. I see a difference so I will be keeping the settings. And the 4G hack is AMAZING!! I now get 2 bars solid of 4G in my apartment versus the 1 to no bars I was getting before. Great work!
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Use speedtest.net. You can use it to test any internet connection (4g, 3g, cable, dsl, dial-up, etc)
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
Of all the tweaks posted here recently, I've gotta give this one the nod for being the best. Charlotte, NC has 4G but I live south of the city and work north of it. I can't get a 4G signal in either location. While driving past the downtown area, I get a great signal but it's pretty much useless to me. With this tweak, I'm getting a VERY usable 4G signal in my office. I use wifi at home, it's not as big of a deal there.

THANKS for posting this!!!!
[Epic 4G General] slipmaggot8:
Did this and both my 3g and 4g speeds went up 3g was getting .3mbps download on speedtest, now scoring from .7-1mbps and on 4g was getting 1mbps-1.5mbps....now getting 2.5mbps-4.2mbps in my house which never happened before

Hey Koadic thanks for the headsup of the app through the market , i download it right now , now im going to chk with my girlfriend's Epic 4g is their any diff. with the speed after the setting of the db. from mine
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
I have now rooted and installed a custom ROM to my phone. I have managed to put in new values, but zeros get added.

For example:

-00110 instead of -110

00004 instead of 0004

Every value is 5-digit.
[Epic 4G General] Art77:
DDDDaaaaaammmmmmm !!!! theirs a big diff between 4g and 3g , 3g dwn 0.53 up 0.50 and 4g is almost as fast as my internet provider!!! dwn 5.30 upl 1.30
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
"Almost as fast?" What internet providers do y'all have?

My landline only gives up to 1.5 mbps down. It costs $19.99/mo

Wifi tether through my Epic on 4G gives me a faster internet connection.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Verizon fios 30/30

Gonna be a while before my cell phone can best that.
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
so does everyone has the label as entyrx or just me???

and the leading zeroes added isnt a issue right?

i didnt really see much difference in the range tho.. at work sometimes 4g wud connect and sometimes it wont.. after this change its the same story .. :(
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
I see the same.
[Epic 4G General] drakkahn:
Unfortunately i'm not seeing the speed boost everyone is mentioning for 4G, but at work I already get pretty decent speeds...

Honestly I don't understand how this could increase speed. If I am understanding it correctly(correct me if I'm wrong), these values simply allow your phone to connect when you have a weak 4G signal when it would otherwise switch you to a "stronger 3G" signal.

The real test will be when I get home tonight since I get really carpy 4G speeds. I'll be an extremely happy camper if it actually works there.

Thanks for the tip!

[Epic 4G General] TNTRMSKD:
FYI to the people doing the 3G fix, this is actually the "iheartradio" fix from months ago. IHR doesn't work on our phones by default unless you're on wifi. By doing the 0.0.0.0 fix, you're bypassing Sprint's network filter that interferes with certain programs like IHR/Skyfire/etc, the added speed makes sense to me because there's less hopping around the data needs to do (I'm guessing).
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! 4g works in my apartment now! I can't believe this.. it wouldn't work worth a crap for months.. now its incredibly fast. I'm blown away...
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Exactly...it only fixes the issue of a signal dropping since you moved the cliff out. These values were probably set like this on purpose as they didnt want to bog down the channel with a bunch of retries and your phone getting lost in the noise floor. It does fix a few things but it isnt a magical speed booster.
[Epic 4G General] rangerover_95:
I can confirm much better coverage in Portland OR with the hack. Though it won't connect in my apartment, I credit the really thick outside brick walls with the lack of signal. But I can connect on my patio, and much more uniform and widespread service than it had previously. Thanks sent for the much apprecated info!

[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
For EVO it's pretty much the same, just different options. You have to find the MSL and the only difference are the options. Look for EntryRX somewhere in the menus and change it to -110 and so on
