Better signal

I read on here when the incredible was first released about a way to change some settings to get better signal. I can't seem to find the thread again so if someone could link me or tell me how to I would appreciate it. I know it began with dialing # and then some numbers but can't seem to remember the rest.

*#*#4636#*#*
Phone info
Change cdma to gsm or cdma/gsm auto. Does not always stick after rebooting.

I think it might be the other way around with the * and #.
At least for my DINC --> *#*#4636#*#*

Where do you enter this.

I tried but says it has been disconnected.

You don't need to hit call.
Menu should pop up, if not make sure you typed it in right.

Another way to access this is to download the Network app from the Market place and never have to worry about remembering/dialing those numbers & characters
Just search for "Network" in the market place and download it
Hope this helps

(Guide) how to reduce lag while tethered to ps3 and playing online

Y'all are going to have to bear with me on this, this is my first time doing this lol.
Okay first of all this all started when I finally figured out how to bridge my conectiom from my phone-pc-ps3 and I was able to play online but it would be very laggy and slow. First thing I did was go to opendns.com and wrote down there DNS then I went to control panel on my win7 PC and went to network settings under wireless tether and then went to properties, then u click on ipv4 and go change DNS to manual I believe then u enter the DNS numbers from the website and click okay, then on your ps3 go to network settings-custom-wired and set everything to automatic except for the dns you'll want yo do manual and enter in the numbers. And finish the settings now on your phone I found kifnos 1.0 tweak helps alot and u can also grab set dns for root users in the market and change your dns from Google public to open witch greatly reduced my ping from 300- around 170 I hope this helps some of y'all.
Ps please forgive my spelling and run on sentences because its 2:53am lol
Also I'm pretty sure changing the dns on Xbox 360 works the same way

Good stuff. Get dome sleep and come back to clean this up. Separate those steps and lose the "do option x, I believe". Confirm, my man!

How do I do this with just tethering It workd on my lil bros evo Sunday never did before tho how do we get our heros to do that cause we had both our ps3s online playn blackops
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA Premium App

u have to set up a bridge using an either net cable and on win7 its farely simple say your using wireless tether for example first u go to control panel network and internet and u click on the ssid or your access point then wireless network settings then another window will pop up and u go down to properties then sharing at the top and click enable after that u should see a pull down make sure u click local area connection assuming your using an eithernet cable from your ps3 or xbox to your computer then your bridge should be complete

The hotspot feature on evos don't use adhoc like barnacle or wireless tether so no need to set up a bridge but ps3 will not pick up an adhoc signle

Well the first thing you should do is upgrade to MikShifted G v1.76. It's just a patch, so you won't lose any of your info. You can find the upgrade HERE. After you do that the MOD you want is on THIS THREAD. On that thread was also a link on how to change the PRL.

Force roam didnt work. And sprint data reset code for its msl isnt doing anything either
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Do you mean ##775# ? When you say Force Roam didn't work, what exactly do you mean? Just trying to get a better grasp of what you mean.

##72786# and ##3282#, i typed it and the display showing what i typed went blank. The only way to get the touch pad to respond again was to hit the home button. And my phone did use the mod and i forced it to roaming but it still gave me a generic network error.

I am also having MMS problems. I used MikG 1.76. I switched back to x99percent Sense Stock rooted GB update 2.76.651.5. Works fine now. Maybe something having to do with MikG Rom. Mik hasn't updated it in awhile. Just released a few mods since 1.76

Not sure what your trying to do with ##72786# , as far as I know that's not a real code. ##3282# should bring up the ESPT menu, View or EDIT. Choose EDIT then enter your MSL. ##775# , is also valid. Just checked both on MikSHifted G, both codes work. Also just tried the Force Roam mod, all good. If you already updated your PRL / Profile. Try booting into recovery Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Cache, and then reboot.

Both sms and mms are heavily dependant on mobile data network. If you are connected to wifi and you are in a area with poor mobile data network or you don't have a mobile data plan then a lot of times you will not be able to send/receive texts or mms. If you have a mobile data plan try turning off your wifi before sending or to check for received messages.

Ok I Reflashed the MikG 1.76 and its starting to work again. No Generic Network Failure anymore. Sent mms on WiFi within seconds. No problem at all. Maybe it is the PRL. Try Reflashing the ROM completely if PRL doesn't work.
Its you bro. Not the network. "The key to self recovery is admitting you have a problem".

I called my local sprint store. Theyve been having other people with the same issue. They said two dozen since they opened today and i called at 11am. They have people working on it

Yeah that happened to me before in the area I use to live in. The mobile network was messed up and they kept telling me that they were working on it. But it never really seemed to improve much until I moved.

[GUIDE]Enable stock tethering - Root Required

For those that want to tether but don't want to pay your carrier for it...
Root is required.
1) Download your favorite SQL editor. I use SQLite Editor.
2) Open and grant root access.
3) Scroll down and find Settings Storage
4) Choose settings.db (duh)
5) Go down to line 65 and change the value for entitlement check from 1 to 0.
6) Reboot.
7) Profit.
Historically this has stuck through updates as the databases don't change when you update.
Thank you jcase for root!
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 4

I wonder if the changes to settings will survive reboot because system is not writeable atm

in what folder does settings storage live? I cant seem to find it.

It does persist through reboot. The change actually won't work until after reboot.

Use the native tether (via Settings) once you've updated the DB.

No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.

It requires you to enter a password though every time you unlock your phone. This method does not, and this method enables use of the built in android hotspot

Yeah it's annoying to have that. I also found foxfi to have random drops in connection so streaming or gaming was affected. The stock app is much more stable with connection.

Yeah. I was thinking Foxfi too til I realized it cripples touchless control due to forcing a lock screen. Then root came and I didn't care anymore

Any way to disable notifications of what connects and disconnects? I figured if I disabled all notifications in status bar the app would be killed.

There was a TetheringProvision.apk I had found on the s4 forums that worked perfectly with our phone (I only tried hotspot) it'd give you the error message saying it's not on your plan but one you hit ok it pulls up. I decompiled and did some editing and replaced the original and I have no clue where it came from...
