[Tutorial] Reconnect to 4G much faster!!!

If you don't have your msl code call Sprint first and ask for it, they sould'nt tell you no, but if they do just call back till you get someone else.
Please Record your original settings before changing anything so you can change it back if you don't like it, and please don't mess with anything else unless know what you are doing.
Go to the Dialer and put in: ##3282#
(optional) Do the Skyfire Video fix if you would like by removing Sprint's Proxy filter, Go to Multimedia and type in your msl code and clear out RTSP Proxy Address and hit ok it should now say <Not set>
Now change RTSP Proxy Port to 0 and hit ok. (optional)
Now, if you did the first part press the back key and go to WiMAX and enter msl code. Then, go to Extensions and change the following settings for faster reconnection of 4g:
You don't need to put in all of the 0's before the actual number this is only what it looks like afterwards. For example ScanAttemptTimeOut you should only have to put in the number 5 and press ok, for EntyRx don't for the - before 89.
ScanAttemptTimeOut: 00005
ScanRetries: 00001
IdleSleep: 00300
EntyRx: -00089
EntryCINR: 00004
EntryDelay: 00001
ExitCINR: 00008
EntryDelay: 00001
ExitCINR: 00008
ExitDelay: 00300
All done Exit and If promted Reboot.
Beware that If you plan on running 4g constantly then you should probably not use these settings
because It will run down your battery if your in a poor 4G location.
If anyone thinks I left out any important information please post below.
Anyways enjoy!

How much faster will 4G connect?

Immediately, and It will continue scanning untill it does.
There are no timeouts thats why I say if your not in a 4G area it will burn your battery down if you leave it on.

For those who don't have their MSL here's how: (I know it will be asked)
1. Download ConnectBot from the market.
2. Open it up. From the dropdown box, choose 'local'. You can give the connection a name. Then press 'enter' or 'done'.
3. type "getprop ril.MSL" and hit enter. There's your MSL.

Thank you for this information.

You can also do it through adb.
adb shell getprop ril.MSL

There was also an app on the market if you search MSL. It's probably still there.

I donno if it's making a difference yet, but I did it. Thanks for posting!
and thanks to the msl masseurs.

If this is what you are talking about, it states it only works on HTC devices.
MSL Reader:
"This program reads your Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) code for your CDMA Android phone. It requires root to read this code.
This application will only work on HTC CDMA devices like the Hero, EVO and Incredible."

can someone please post the stock settings?
I forgot to copy mine, I did this and my 4g will not connect
NVM I was a dork and didnt reboot.
I think it works, thanks for posting [=

Can you elaborate on this more? As much as I hate the lag that the phone experiences when connecting and disconnecting from 4G while driving around, I don't know if I want the phone trying to hard that it cooks the battery. It sounds more like it makes it try to connect more persistantly vs actually connecting faster.

Here are the Wimax default settings on my epic
ScanAttemptTimeOut: 00002
ScanRetries: 00120
IdleSleep: 00010
EntyRx: -00089
EntryCINR: 00004
EntryDelay: 00300
ExitCINR: 00002
ExitDelay: 00002

This part only removes sprints proxy filter which keeps sprint from filtering things on the web such as, litmiting your access to only certain websites. I am unsure if it would help with data or connection speeds or not, but every thing works fine for me.
If your 4G connection goes out, the settings on the second part of my Instructions will allow your phone to keep on searching instead of waiting 300 seconds in between tries. There are other tweaks in there, I just don't remember off hand what they all are. I know that wimax entry rx -89 is how low the signal can get before 4G is to dissconnect, at -90 it would hold onto 4G longer but your signal would be too low in that range to be of much benefit.

thank you nice tutorial

I just changed Proxy Address from rtsp.vog.sprntpcs.com to leaving it blank and then Proxy from 554 to 0, reset the phone and nothing seems different. I guess I need to start browsing the web, but I wasnt aware anything was blocked. Do all phones have the same address and numbers set from the factory? You mentioned Skyfire video fix, so does this mean I can stream from HULU now?
I'll hold off on the 4G changes until it gets better in my area.

any way to change these settings so that i can use 4g all the time but also have it connect faster (but not kill my battery)

Taboo8614 - I'd love to have 500hp in my car and still get 30MPG, but that's not going to happen. If you want speed, you've gotta pay to play. Being that the phone is constantly trying to reconnect vs timing out and waiting means that the phone is always going to be busy doing something, hence the drain.
Danny - So I did what you suggested and now that I've been out and about today, I've got no service whatsoever. I've tried going to the web, but it constantly says that I have no data connection. I'm going to reenter the information that I deleted and hopefully everything is restored.

Did you reboot your phone after applying the changes? I think someone else had the same problem because they forgot to reboot. umm yeah... well anyways I hope you get it set the way you like it, these are the settings i use everyday and it works wonders for me.

No, this has nothing to do with how hulu works, hulu has the ability to recognize that you are using the android version of flash player and is set to block access to their content. There is a modified version of flash player floating around for android 2.2 Froyo that will fool hulu into thinking its the desktop version of flash.
Oh and 4G is not so great in my area thats why I set my phone to these settings. At my house I only get 1-2 bars signal on 4G and it would allways drop out and never want to connect back.

Lock 3G signal

Is there any way to lock my Optimus 7 into 3G signal and not let it fall back to EDGE/GPRS when 3G is available with weakest signal? Happens a lot and its annoying.

The default behavior is to use the highest-speed connection. If it's falling back to EDGE, that's almost certainly because the error threshold was too high for useful connectivity.
There is a way to turn off 3G (which is also much more battery-hungry) but I don't know of one to turn off EDGE. You could look around in the disagnostics app for a way to specify the thresholds used, though, and myabe tweak them (the HD7 diag app shows the current setup but doesn't let us change it).

One more trick I would like to share is to create a contact with the name as 3G and the phone no as ##3282# and pit it to the start so that when u restart the phone u have easy access to the menu access to the menu.

Yes the settings reset after a reboot. So need to apply them after reboot.

[Q] Lost data signal randomly, what can I do? (solved)

I was walking around school today, listening to slacker radio. Out of no where, the music stopped. I looked at my phone, and it said there was no signal. I didn't think much of it. I figured there was some sort of outage. When I got home and put my SIM in my old phone, I found it did indeed have a data signal. So I put my SIM back into my galaxy and again, no data. I can still make calls and send mms, but I can't connect to the internet, my email, the store etc. I have tried flashing between the stock ICS rom and CM9. I don't know what else to do. I was going to try flashing a different kernel, but would that even make a difference? Can someone help me?
Also, I did check the settings to make sure data was turned on and all that jazz.

same hir a couple week ago .i have my data connection.. and evry day i always flaahing and testing a new rom. and my data betwork.is still working.. but 1 week aho i lost my data connection.. i also try to flash stock rom.. and re activate my data network but still not working
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

Well, I tried re-flashing the kernel, with no results. My next step is gonna be flashing a new modem unless someone else has a better idea.

Try fixing permissions. Also are you sure TMOB didn't cut your data for some reason?

I'm not on TMOB. I had to unlock my phone so I could get it on a local carrier. It worked fine for a day, then just quit.

Fixing permissions never hurts anything. It's good to at least once a week anyway. The next thing I would try is checking your APN to make sure it matches what your carriers settings are. Flashing another modem wouldn't hurt anything either but if the one you had was working fine I'd look at the APN setting first.

Stands for Access point name:
All Hail Wiki
You can find it under settings>wireless networks more>mobile networks>Access Point Names. You'll have to do a google search for your carriers correct APN settings. Just make sure they match if not hit left soft key. New APN and enter the correct info. Then left soft key again to save it. Then select it and reboot.

You sir are a genius. Thank you a ton. I called my carrier, and got the settings. My phone works great. Now to try new roms.

[Q] Voice dialing without data

OK so i'm using my nexus 5 without a data plan (for now) and I've found that when I'm not connected to wifi my voice dialing isn't working properly. When I try to say the full phone number it works fine, but when I try to say the contact name it always gives me one of only two of my contacts regardless of what I say. If I go into wifi range and try again it works perfect, but when I'm out in my car (where I'll want to use a feature like this) I have no luck.
Any ideas?

Just a guess but when you say the name rather than the number it is probably going through Google's servers so you would need data for it to work.

[urgent] I broke my signal band mode

So I went into *#*#4636#*#* and I putted my phone in my pocket with screen on.
I took it out of my pocket and I saw set bandmode 23 successful.
No my question is, how can I revert this.
I've tried every different bandmode there is to select
Euro: gives me Edge connection and I can call
Bandmode 43. Gives me 4g but I can't call.
Not in the *#*#4636#*#* menu but in something else
I know about the engineering mode and I know how to enter it too. There is an option bandmode and bandmode2 both with over 100 different modes
Setting it to auto from this even more secret menu still didn't work.
To get in this mode download shortcut manager from gp.
Open app tap 3 dots and click app explorer.
Scroll down to com.oneplus.factorymode tap it
In there you will find bandmode and bandmode2
Any fix? I've tried every possible fix.
I'd like to call and use mobile data.

I would contact oneplus support if I were you

Move your sim into the other slot if it's not occupied, otherwise I found this method. I have not tried it yet, though.

Ya, I did the same thing...
Fix as Follows:
Raylon00 said:
Ya, don't go playing with the band selection, or you may just get dropped to 2g connection with no LTE possible.
After digging around, I found a fix to get LTE back.
Download the "Network Signal Guru" app from the Play Store.
I told it to "Clear Forcings" in the menu, and LTE is back up.

I haven't tried it. I'm using the second sim slot instead and it's working perfectly.
I don't know of any way to fix without root if that fastboot method won't work.

same problem i dont have 4g in any slot and when install lasted update (5.1.6) the problem still heres. i will back the phone or i dont know to do.
