##DATA#

I was reading on another forum about a hack that involves using ##DATA# to open up a menu. When I try to enter that in dialer, it doesn't do anything. Could anyone stear me in the right direction for how to get into this menu?
The goal is to end up being able to do what is listed in this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Thanks in advance...

Dial ##3282# and give it a few seconds 10 at most. It may not work o. A sprint leak based Rom, it never did on mine till we got full release.

Second, you maybe the only person on this forum not on an unlimited plan LOL. But, I don't think it would cost you anything more. It doesn't come across as roaming.
First, this menu has a couple of things in it - using the data menu allows you to manually install a PRL of your choosing. The specific PRL people are loading is an AllTel 40050 PRL that allows you to connect to Verizons towers. I am under the impression though if you didn't have AllTel in your area, it may not work for you. It immediately causes issues for me.

I know that some dialers will not let you access this function.

I have tested most of the roms you need the stock android dialer to access the hidden menus...if you push the stock htc dialer apk to your phone you should be able to open the hidden menus when I get home I will get you a link.

Alright what you're looking for is ##775#. That will take you to the manual PRL updater, it also requires your MSL.

[REQ] [MOD] Use 3G on another network?

I have a fascinate from verizon but I've just move to Vietnam and the CDMA network I use is S-Fone. I can't set EVDO on this network because there is no menu on the phone allow to set 3G. Some people said that VZW had disable that. Anyone has solution to solve that problem for me? Thanks a lot.

You use that app for what? I just want to adjust the 3G setting to use EVDO on S-Fone network. I bought that app and just don't know how to use it. Please help me.

Just play with the settings. Like I said ymmv. I use it where vzw 3g is slow and I asuume it switches it to sprint and I get a better 3g speed.

That program won't work for you. It simply sets your phone to Roaming mode, which for a Verizon phone means the Sprint network. It won't work with your S-Fone network.

Is there a free program that does something similar to Roam Control? I would like to try it out but don't want to buy it without knowing if it will help my situation.
EDIT: I am assuming that applanet is not legal since the posts with the apk in it have been removed. Good to know.

You should make a profile with qpst, you'll need to change some other settings with that tool, I could not find other way to do it
Sent from my SCH-I500

could you tell me which settings I have to change? You use fascinate in Mexico, right? could you give me your QPST profile? Thanks a lot. ^^

OK, im goingt o retract my last stament about using roam control. It does make some difference but not much on my phone. I want my phone to use Sprints 3g when at work. My coworkers Epic gets 100+kbs. I have installed QPST but dont really know what prl to use or even it it would help. Maybe someone else has a better insight on this.

Well I dont know about issues there, mainly a few major cities.
I would update your prl and data profile which obviously requires you going back to sense for a few minutes.

I have all of my radios updated. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 I do one at a time and reboot in between each one.
Check out "Data Speeds... wtf" in Evo General. You need to boot to a Sense ROM (I just use stock rooted). Basically, what you do is update profile in settings after updating your radios. Then, go to the Market and download MSL Reader. Launch it, get your MSL code. Then, go to phone and enter ##3282#. Hit Edit, and enter your MSL code. Go to advanced. Look at the bottom four, talking about proxies. For ports, put 0. For addresses, put 0.0.0.0 and hit menu and "commit changes". Reboot your phone. Then launch into Recovery and Nandroid back or whatever to whatever ROM you choose. Data should be better.

You probably have the same prob as me.. We need to update our prl and pri... I will look up the directions for you tommorrow, but your phone whwn you r oot it did not uprade the prl or pri correctly.. Data wipe wont correct it you have to force the phone to do the "hands free activation" on its own multiple times.till the update takes.... My 3g went from 50 to 100 kbs to 1 to 2 mbs and 4 g jumped to 6 mbs most of the time.. You can also google update prl on your own sorry gotta get some sleep....

Hey, it sounds like hes got the same problem I had... Updateing profile wont fix it and flashing the radios doesnt fix it for everyone.. His prl and pri got messed up he need to force his phone into the "hands free activation" you are right it uses the espt so he needs a sense rom, but that is prob his problem for the really bad speeds....

Can you walk me through that?

Any sense rom will do, I used myns worm 2.2. Update pri, Also do the proxy hack while your at it, hit ##data# hit edit, enter your msl, go into advanced and Chang all the proxy to 0's you'll notice a significant boost in data speed. Don't wipe just nandroid back to your deck rom your good to go.

What ROM are you trying it on?

a Data restore fixed my speeds, updating the PRL, Data Profile, and all of that crap didn't do anything.
you still need your msl code
Just do ##3283# > go to edit mode > go to data profile > hit menu > then hit restore.
It basically reactivates you phone after i did this my date speeds were drastically improved

I was trying it on stock 2.3 rooted.

Haven't used that one before... Try a 2.2 one, stock or Azrael or MikFroyo or such. You haven't updated your radios, have you? IV noticed a bit improved speeds and battery life with the new updates.

Boost PRL's

Hopefully This will help The Boost Community out there some boost PRLs to download

Hey can we ZAP a verizon PRL into the EVO?
I have a Verizon tower in front of my house my wife always gets great reception, the sprint tower is wayyyyyyyy out there up in a mountain.

stop hijacking my thread i need the prl 61008 from boost and i cant dump the one from my incognito dont have xp no more been looking around the net but no links to the file just people talking about it need to flash it to my evo.

How do I extract it from the phone? I have 2 evo's on boost with that PRL, I just don't know how to get it to you.

I had to zip it since I couldn't upload a *.prl file. Got it off my Prevail.
As for swapping a Verizon prl to a Boost phone. You will get no signal/service at all. Boost phones are not allowed to roam onto any other network. If you have a Sprint phone then you can roam to Verizon... but if you have a Boost then you're out of luck.

Thank you for the PRL

Thanks for the PRL, does anyone have the boost mobile mms.apk?

The prl is to update your phone to the latest tower. You either use qpst or dfs to put the latest prl in your phone plenty of guides out there. If you on a sense Rom you can try putting the prl in your SD card and then dial ##775# and update it like that.

[TWEAK] Boost your 3G speeds drastically

First of all, I was a bit confused about the section in which I should create this thread. I consulted few people and they said development section. If this is in wrong section, I would request the mod to move it to the correct section.
Okay people, so I came across these things when I googled for increasing 3G speeds.
This can benefit you of getting 3g speeds on 2g, like me. You just need to switch to 'wcdma only'
How to switch to 'wcdma only' mode?
Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Preferences -> WCDMA only
Or
Type *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, Select Phone information, scroll down and set preffered network type to WCDMA only.
Follow ahead :
(This will mostly work for indians. And maybe for you too )
1) Download this software called 3g/4g speed optimizer from market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsInByb3Zpc2lvbi5uZXRzcGVlZC5vcHRpbWl6ZXIiXQ
2) Download this script manager - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result
3) Download the 3G turbcharger script by zeppelinrox attached to this post
NOTE: You might want to compare the speed differences before applying this tweak and after applying this tweak. If so, then download Speedtest app from Google Play and test speeds using it.
Now Follow ahead
Start 3g/4g speed optimizer
-choose network speed as 12/28/7-max speed
-check on down speed increase
-now click on apply tweak.
!!!RESTART YOUR DEVICE!!!
Now open script manager
-browse to the downloaded 3g turbocharger text file
-check on superuser icon(N00BS: the android skeleton icon)
-click on run. script will load. wait till it asks to make a selection...
-scroll up and see what setting you need. fast, faster or fastest. I would recommend fastest. enter the option number.
-again enter the option to reboot.
thats it!
After reboot, your 3G speeds should be increased
To check your speeds, again download something from play store, something bigger than 2-3 megabytes would be preferable as it lets you see how far the speeds can get.
NOTE 2: This may not work for everyone, if it doesn't work for you, dont blame me, you are probably getting the max speed from your network operator. Also I would again like to mention that Indian users will be mostly benefited with this tweak.
I would like to thank my friend shreyas.kukde who let me share this tweak. Please take a moment to visit the original thread by him and press the Thanks button there - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568959

Is this because of the revolution meizu rom or I did wrong with the turbo?

Hi, thanks for the info. But could you pls explain the highlighted line. i just feel the two sentence contradict each other. "3g speed on 2g" is great but enabling "wcdma only mode" would get check only the 3g signals, right?

Its like. Sometimes even though you are on a 2G network, you still get 3G signals even though you havent subscribed for 3G. So, if you enable WCDMA only mode, your phone MIGHT start getting 3G signals and you can enjoy 3G speeds even on 2G network.

strangely I can use 3g on 2g packs by using the auto mode..without using this tweak

I tried this script and i am testing it... But i have some doubts, I have checked the option on mobile networks to use only 2g! I can have this option checked or i need to uncheck it?
With 2g i only get edge Signal, but it seems it is faster than before...

Question ?
I havent tried your process yet..
I was just cusious how did you achieve..not the process
I mean logic behind gettin higher speed..
Does carrier put some limit with speed with which we can browse net..
If they put limit.how does this method handle it..?
Or something else

Its just the opposite mathew
It places download as the priority instead of upload. Operators usually set a mid value to balance upload and download speeds.
