Anyone got this working on cm7 yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LoneStarPhD:
Probably. Do you get the same speed no matter where you go?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amaffey:
Yeah, pretty much any where within a 20 mile radius is about a 500 down max. On a better note though, I've had as much at 9.6mb down with 4g. :) Just my 3g is terrible..
[EVO 4G Android Development] LoneStarPhD:
500 down max ain't awful with 3G. Not great. But perhaps the towers are overloaded and no new investment is being made. Sprint is very focused on cash flow. Perhaps the market does not support additional towers or antennas.

##3282# not working on new evo

I used this fix on my prior evo several times as I flash roms and stuff all the time. I had no problem. Now I got a replacement and when I dial the ##3282# and hit the call button, it starts to actually try and make a call and says invalid code. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Perhaps an updated ESPT? I think I've read somewhere that the ESPT had to be downgraded to get this functionality back. I don't have a link, but perhaps a search for it might shed a new light on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] squick:
I think I found the problem. I flashed a custom transparent dialer that a gentlemen makes that you can have whatever picture in the backgroung. It's pretty sick. I just reflashed the rom, did the fix and now I'm getting ready to re-flash my custom dialer.

So I was going to wait for the official MR but I got sick of my streaming not working. I called sprint this afternoon and had Tier 2 tech support push down the fix. I didn't have to do anything on the phone, just took a few min and she said try now and it worked perfect. However my 3G speeds still blow so I called sprint back tonight and got my MSL code. The guy was super cool, I said I just need my MSL code, after he verified my account info he said you ready for the magic #? Awesome - I will make sure to do the survey for him. Anywho I just checked my settings and in case any of you are wondering the fix sprint pushed down already changed the 2 settings that the op posted. There could have been other things it changed but that I don't know for sure.

Anyway my 3G speeds still blow, I'm in a good 3G area and here are some results after sprint pushed the fix. (I also did 2 data profile updates and 2 reboots)

D/U

286 - 315

314 - 258

199 - 196

280 - 242

761 - 238

295 - 164

These speeds suck, I have used data cards in the same area I am testing which get much better speeds. What gives?

Update:

New after results!

1137 - 729

1058 - 676

1372 - 721

1308 - 751

2168 - 724

1438 - 701

Even though I had official Sprint fix(which looks to be the same as posted here), streaming was fixed but still had garbage 3g speeds.

This is what I did

[EVO 4G Android Development] squick:
I got a replacement and it came on 60675. I tried your method and I'm still on 60675 and yes I canceled the update PRL. Is it suppose to downgrade it. Is there anything better about your method or is it just another way. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shoot it down I'm just asking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
I explained very clearly what is going on (to the best of my limited knowledge) We are trying to figure out why updating the prl last makes a difference and causes the "fixes" not to work on some phones. If I gave any impression in there that it would be downgrading the PRL please let me know and I will edit my posts. That is not what this is doing. The point is NOT TO UPDATE YOUR PRL AFTER applying the fixes. There is no reason to until there is a verified PRL update beyond the current 60675.

Yes, the info was already out there...the order was not, and in alot of cases we are finding it makes a difference. In alot of cases we are finding it doesn't (debatable as I have seen at least one phone now go from a solid 1.0 Mbps speed dl to 1.6 ish Mbps speed dl.

yrmv...and I don't really see a need to do this unless you are one of the ones like me that was constantly getting .01-.5 Mbps dl regardless of what you tried.

the order of events seems to make a difference on some phones.

update prl,remove http, update data , cancel prl = faster

update prl, remove http, update data, allow prl = slower

update prl,remove http, update data , cancel prl, test and see speed, update prl test again, it's slower

this was true every single time I did it, and on two different roms.

radio version didn't matter. prl was 60675..the current one since 2-3-11
[EVO 4G Android Development] squick:
The only reason I was asking is cause the way it sounds at the end that if you update the prl, you have to start the process over. To me it just sounds like it might downgrade the prl. That's why I asked about that, cause when I did it, it was still the same. I'm not in a good part of the house to really test how well the fix worked, but I will definitely check it first thing in the morning. Thanks for the additional link.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
if you update the prl last...you will (in cases that needed the fix) ruin the fix and have to do it again

there has been one case that updating the prl later worked i.e.

updated prl? (don't know if he skipped that or what his prl was to begin with)

removed http

updated data

canceled auto prl update

speeds were the same

after 20-30 minutes updated prl

got the higher speed results
[EVO 4G Android Development] sabinblitz:
So I did the fix and ran some speed tests. The best I had achieved for download was 0.2 mbps before the fix. The first test afterwards garnered me a 0.85 mbps download rate. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I ran it again, and it dropped to 0.53 . Each subsequent test kept dropping the download to about 0.33-0.35, hasn't dipped lower than that. Anyone know how I can get it back up to 0.85?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
in most cases speed tests are going to vary...that being said in a singular location mine are pretty consistent with the occasional drop down to .3-.5 Mbps

is it speedtest? or is it the tower...who knows.

I still want someone to look at the whole thing and figure out why updating the prl after restoring data kills the speeds.

keep in mind also that there is no consistency between sprint towers. if you change locations your speed will change. I travel quite a bit and get a very wide range of speeds.

at work .15-.7 depending on day of the week lol. typically .15 AFTER the fix...that just tells me there is something wrong with a tower there.

at home though...very consistent 1.0 Mbps every day since applying the fix and canceling the prl update.

Humm, i can not even type in the full ##3282# command on the dialer. I open dialer enter ##3282 and when i hit the next # the whole ##3282 dissapears so i can not even hit the call button to access. I did just change roms from myns rls5 to [ROM]2.12.11-EVOZone-RIPTIDE-BLUE-RED-PURE , the calkins 1.8 red. Dunno if that had anything to do with it. My pri is 1.77, data governor removed. Current speed test is 0.90 down & 0.56 up. Before with myns is was 1.60 down & 0.57 up .

[EVO 4G Android Development] unleet:
I am not sure if this increased my 3g speeds (the test had before and after around the same), but this has fixed my streaming problem. Rhapsody was a nightmare before. It would only play 1 out of 3 tries. Sometimes I would have to pick a song 10 times before it would play. Since this fix I have played around 50 songs in a row without a hiccup. So far this fix has worked 5x better than I could of hoped for. Thanks for this.

After changing values back to default and rebooting the phone I have not regained the speeds I had before I changed the values... :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] unleet:
I was on Warm RLS5 and flashed to WarmZ. I also did the changes during that time. So I am honestly unsure if my streaming success is because of Z or the fix or both. Still my speeds are around the same before and after.

That said that is a very big change in speeds for you. Was it the same server and was you in the same location?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brainze:
Well ****!!

I went from an average of .43mbps download to 1.53mbps !!!!

Upload speeds have also improved a nominal bit.

Notes:

1. Turn your GPS OFF!

2. After changing the settings to 0s;

Be sure to press back once, select Data Profile, press MENU, RESTORE.

3. After your device reboots; watch the screen for the network pop-up. Quickly press CANCEL when it starts to look for a PRL update!!

Do NOT let the phone update nor manually update your phone's PRL after this procedure. Doing so will hose your speeds & require you to repeat the process...

[EVO 4G Android Development] sayazs:
WOW, i just went from 130kbps down and 170 up to 2.4 mbps down and .74mbps up

amazing find. to clarify on step 2 after you hit restore you have to hit okay first and then the phone restarts. it'll first do handsfree activation and then once it starts prl update hit cancel.

im on elite series and stock kernel

[EVO 4G Android Development] xefe1:
im afraid myns Z does not have that option in settings ....

Had to recover my nand backup. It immediately went into provisioning and fixed the problem. Applying this fix first then will re flash myns Z. Apparently myns Z isnt a native cdma rom and currently does not have the ability to provision properly. This is based off of my own experience.

So once I was on myns warm 2.2 rls 5 I re did this process as outlined.... WOW does this thing ROCK!!!! I was downloading at 300kb upload 400... now I am zooming along at 1.2 dl 900 upload.

I highly advise against doing this process with MYNS Z.... do it with Warm 2.2 then flash to Myns Z !!

New PRL

I just updated my PRL to 60676. anyone else got this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Updated to that this morning. Didn't know it changed, so I don't have any before benchmarks. But after updating, speedtest gives me 1.7 MB download. YMMV

I hear people getting better 4G connections with this PRL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
I had no 3g connection at all after performing it... don't know what else to say.

I want to try again but don't have time. especially for something that is temp. I am instead having some friends look at a permanent solution (assuming it helps)

as for this new prl... do the same as I have listed before. update prl, ##3282# and do a data profile restore...cancel the prl update when the handsfree activation is complete. you will see a difference.

I still haven't found the answer of why this matters...but results are results

[EVO 4G Android Development] oliverr871:
I just got an EVO two days ago and noticed the slow 3G speeds. It was like 1X but slower. I tried the fix mentioned in the OP but it did not work at all.

The fix that worked well for me was setting going into the EVDO menu and setting the Preferred Mode to Automatic instead of CDMA only. CDMA HDR Only seems to do the same thing as well which was have the speeds generally over 1000kbps. My download speeds boosted instantly without changing those address numbers. I did change it, but it didn't do anything for me. I am using 60676 and downloaded all the latest updates.

Default is CDMA only. My fastest speed in Automatic mode was 2076 kbps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
I had a similar problem when I followed his instructions. I'm on Warm Z and it wouldn't run hands-free activation. I had to restore to a normal sense rom to get it to do so. Try doing that and seeing if it fixes your problem.

make sure you're hitting cancel during prl update after the handsfree activation.

I really f****d up my phone

so I used this fix a few weeks ago with a mik ROM and it was fine. No real change in speeds but no problems either. Then this week I was running the kalkulins latest with an aggressive HAVS SBC kernel, don't remember which. I did this mod again and the next morning I was not getting any calls. I started trying to fix it but things got worse. I couldn't update profile or PRL. I tried a data reset in the ##3282# menu. It didn't take. I got stuck in handsfree setup and it never completed cause I had no data. I wiped over and over, flashed ROMs, restored all my nandroids, reflashed radios, turned data on/off, tried every fix the world wide web had to offer. Nothing worked. I had no 3g and couldn't make or receive calls. Kinda stressful. I unrooted, restored an original img and after a million tries my update profile finally started working again, then I got my PRL back and then system updates and finally I was up and running again and now I'm happily rooted again. Now I don't know exactly why all this happened but I am not messing with this fix again. Just a word of caution.
