HAck Your Wimax radio Signal is it possible?

[uacolon]

I am posting this question to the community since maybe someone out there has more info on this ...and if its even possible.

I came from a TP 2 and remembered that there was a radio signal hack. (3g only)
It entitled using QPST and changing some NV_itemes values.
I did this on my EVO 4g and it worked quite well.(3g only)

Lately i have been searching the net to see if i can find something similar but for the Wimax radio of the EVO .With the searching i have done... i have come up dry.

so is it Possible?


Here is the link to the radio hack i found and used from this forum.(3g only)

You can try this but it did not work for me and I ended up with slower 3g speeds.
I do recommend you write down your current settings before you do this just in case you need to revert:

1. Get your MSL, There are many ways, call Sprint, Download the app MSL Reader from the market, CDMA workshop
2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#
3. Click Edit Mode
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address
6. Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to 0 (zero)
7. Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
8. Go enjoy Downloads and a .20-.60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!

Got this from this thread.

I would write down the port and IP address before changing since this seems to be an urban legend. Lest you want to be doing a Reset to get them back.
Savvy?

so did you try? did it work?

This isnt what he is talking about.

I dont think anyone has tried to "hack" the wimax radio so I dont think there is an answer.

I realized that after I posted it but I left it anyway. I do believe you're correct and the wimax radio currently cannot or has not been hacked.

Yes i have tried that but i really did not see any improvements on 3G
Now the NV item hack works well if you do not mind a little extra cancer with your phone calls.

link is in the first post if you care to try it .

Thanks.....thats too bad though .
i could use a little more boost on my Cell phone for wimax.

Copied from XDA:


NOTE: All these changes will be made in the EPST menu. To get there, dial ##DATA# and choose edit mode. You'll have to enter your MSL. Then choose WiMax in the menu. Don't change anything except what I tell you, because you'll eff something up most likely. If this doesn't work for you, I've also mentioned the defaults so you can go back.


1. WiMAX_Entry_RX(RSSI)(dBm) - Default is -89. This is the minimum signal it has to be picking up to connect. I'm not sure what the best value here is, but the lower the number, the quicker the connect, since it will connect to a weaker signal. You'll have to experiment some with this, I recommend trying about -95 to -100 first. If it's unstable, raise the value closer to -89.

2. WiMAX_Entry_CINR(dB) - Default is 4. This is the Carrier to Interface Noise Ratio. The higher it is, the clearer the connection has to be to connect. Change it to 3. You may be able to push it all the way down to 2, but that is probably pushing it. EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize you couldn't set this without it being 4 or higher. You can still pick it up with a weaker signal by changing the entry RSSI, but you still have to have a signal without much interference. In reality, that shouldn't matter too much though

3. WiMAX_Exit_CINR(dB) - Default is 2. See the entry CINR value for an explanation of it. If the signal degrades to a CINR of 2, it will drop the connection. Change this to 1. This should let you stay connected longer. If you run into problems with staying connected but having an unreliable connection, change it back to 2.

4. WiMAX_Exit_Delay(s) - The default is 2. Since it's measured in seconds, that means if the CINR drops to 2 or below for 2 seconds, it will drop the connection. Raise it to 5. That should be enough to cover just a random drop in signal that will pick back up right away. That way you don't drop connection if you drive under a bridge or something (I'm rocking mine at 15s here, but it'll take any value up to 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes!)


That should be it. I think I explained everything good enough. Let me know if you have any questions & I'll edit the OP. None of these should harm your device, but as usual heres the disclaimer: If you screw up and blame me, I will point and laugh.

Thanks for this trying it out today
