Sprint Throttling evdo on touch pro - Page 4

What is your receive window? I know by default on stock rom, it is set pretty large. Try lowering it to 37960 or so (it is over 524280 on mine by default). Too large of a rwin can causer lower throughput, especially if you have packet loss (which is a possibility over EVDO).

I live in Kansas and it sucks. The highest speed I'd ever see on my Mogul would be 1100kbps. I can usually only get 2 or 3 bars on my EVDO connection because there aren't as many big metropolis areas around where there are more cell towers setup. I still get about the same with my TP and i wish that I could use the full speed of EVDO. Instead I use my high-speed internet at home most of the time or various wi-fi spots.

I have to disagree with teddat on the PRL and EVDO speed link. When Rev A was first released here my Mogul never showed a difference. Three days after it was a released a friend of mine at the local store asked me how I liked it and I was like WTF. So he told me to call Sprint and get flagged for a PRL update. The Sprint techs told me the same thing that PRL was only for Roaming and not internet. But alas my local Sprint network is not Sprint but piggybacking off of Intelos so in essence roaming, so after I manually updated my PRL like magic a little EVDO symbol appears.

thats cuz u were never on evdo prior to ur prl. in that case ur prl was pointing to a roaming partner of sprint. again this post is in regards to specific throughput of mogul vs. TP on rev a. and under same conditions.

Funny you guys are talking about this. Lately I have noticed a pattern will flashing over and over and over.Also swapping over and over. lol. I have temp stopped my battery guide because I am doing my tests using stock rom. But recently when I had my pro swapped out and ran the stock rom for a while I noticed a few differences. One was the missed calls over the weekends.And the delayed text messages on weekends. And I even had a temp service block due to overloaded network.You know, the dreaded deep voicedmessage that says " We are temp unable to make a phone call" well its goes something like that. I really have not had these issues running other custom roms.Well, its just a observation.

For those of you with Slower internet than previour phones, Like the Mogul. The problem is most likely your HA setting. Especially if you are in a different area than your phone number is. Now, You could change it to match your mogul... But the best one I have found is 255.255.255.255. That setting allows your phone to connect to the closest HA, and therefore gives you the fastest speed... Most of the time anyway.

To edit it, Hit ##PST# (thats ##778#) from the phone, then click EDIT. Then enter your MSL. Then hit the "View info" (Left soft key). Select "M.IP Customer Profile1". Select "Primary HA address" and hold it till it says edit, then click edit. Then put in 255.255.255.255. My secondary is 68.28.185.76. It will connect using that one if te other one doesn't work. I believe the secondary one I have is a Kansas City HA.
After your done, select Menu, then ok. the phone will soft-reset, and you should get a good speed. Even when you travel.

Nice info! Anyone care to try this out? I like to stay behind the lines when I have my phone working just how I want it =]

You guys are lucky. I'm in CO Springs, and the highest speed I've ever seen was about 360Kbits, and at home with full bars and the Evdo icon I get about 160Kbits. This is all according to the DSL Reports Mobile Speed Test. I can't wait to try it out of state.

I'm in NYC, just did a speed test on speakeasy.net while tethered, speed was 2327 mbps download and upload was 666kbps. Seems faster than when I had my Treo 800w tethered!

Thats what what im talking about. those were the speeds i would see with the mogul in the bay area, Cali. I'm going to try the HA settings later tonight. *crossing fingers* thanks for the info! will report back
