Let's speed up My Internet
Change your DNS server to OpenDNS
Do at your own risk, in the first hack you would normally delete the HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk from the Startup folder so HTC_CM_Guardian.exe won't start. Normally upon startup it will start and change back your DNS settings that we are going to change. HTC_CM_Guardian.exe sets your internet settings back to Sprints settings constantly. It starts everytime the Touch starts.
I couldn't find the HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk startup link in the \windows\startup folder on my Touch as it is on the Mogul so the Touch is starting the
HTC_CM_Guardian.exe from somewhere else, upon startup.
So since I couldn't stop it from starting I had to overwrite it with a inert file.
We are first going to copy the original HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file from \device\windows to a safe place for future use if ever needed. If you ever have trouble just copy the original back to \device\windows and soft reset or just execute it from wherever you saved it.
Next we are going to take a small inert file on our device and rename it to HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and then move it to the \device\windows folder on our touch and confirm overwrite (use Resco or similar to overwrite) so the real HTC_cm_guardian won't start.
Soft reset
Now for the actual settings change to Speed up browsing with OpenDNS:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Manage existing connections
Select SprintPCS, then Edit...
Hit Next and Next again, then click Advanced...
Under Servers tab select Use specific server address
Enter the following:
DNS: 208.67.222.222
Alt DNS: 208.67.220.220
Hit OK then Finish
Soft reset
When you first reconnect to the internet it will ask you for name\pass......well just leave the name and pass blank and check the box to remember.
Next are a few other Edits that I got from another website and they seem to have made a very noticeable difference, without any side effects for me.
The first ones are just changed values and then the others you create an entry, just "create a new DWORD value"
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\
TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions = dword: 6
TcpWindowSize = dword: 256960
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings
MaxConnectionsPerServer = dword: 00000010
Create the following DWORD value in this directory (the 0 in "0server" is a number)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = dword: 00000020
In the following directory create all 3 DWORD values
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\
Tcp1323Opts = dword: 1 (O before pts is the capital letter o)
TcpMaxDupAcks = dword: 2
EnablePMTUDiscovery = dword: 1
My questions are: in later posts this tweak is "busted" because Sprint found out.
Does this tweak really work?
Would it work on Verizon?
Do you need a data plan with your provider before you could use it(Verizon in my case)?
Is this a way of getting Internet access for free without going thru your provider?
I guess I want to know if there is any risk associated with doing this tweak.
Please forgive me as I am a nOObb!
