technically, you can do this for Sprint. At least I did.

Does it make a difference? Tough call. It certainly didn't have any negative side effects...

Malatesta have you noticed any difference yet? Did you use the same unlock code or a sprint unlock code? I wouldn't mind trying this, nothing could make the volume any worse than it is now.

It's not so much a "louder" hack as a "quality" hack.

The title should be corrected.

It uses less compression on the voice signal, giving better quality.

I did this like 6 months ago, but I think I need my MSL code to do it.

EVRC is "Enhanced Variable Rate CODEC".
It enables a lower bitrate (bandwidth) while still mainting voice quality (full rate at 8.5 kbps, half rate at 4 kbps, and eighth rate at 800 bps) The setting we changed "forces" it to 13kbps. Both Verizon and Sprint use this codec.

Thanks for the info. I thought I needed my msl code. The volume is the one thing that drives me crazy. If I don't use my bluetooth I can't hear. You get the old "you got a $500 phone and you can't hear me. I got this thing running like a top except for that. I would pay for a program that would fix this.

Would this have any effect on the bluetooth headset volume/quality? as it is now i use the Sprint PPC-6700 and Jabra BT500 and I can barely hear anything both at full volume.. im always pushing the headset in to help.. Thanks!

It has made some difference on my unit, with conversations all the sudden going ultra quiet. but it will not increase the loudness overall. If your on sprint you will need your MSL (vzw leaves theirs blank, a la 000000) you can call for it, but you will have a hell of a time or you can try bitpim see this thread

oh, and this isn't exatly a reg hack either, you are actually chaning the settings of the phone chip

i wanted to try this on my sprint ppc 6700 but the unlock code wasn't valid, any suggestions?

I got the MSL from Sprint when I got my PPC-6700 it's ##047842# If anyone needs it.
