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


I know this is a year and a half old post, but I just found it. I have Verizon and am running Vin's 6.5 ROM. I cannot find the HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file anywhere. I have the settings to "show all files", so I know that nothing is hidden.

Well, if Vin included it in his ROM it would be in the main Windows folder. He may have not included it because basically it continually resets certain carrier specific items back to shipped settings. Ask Vin if he included it.
Also, this hack was basically busted if you read the posts that follow the original poster of this hack in this thread. Some of these reg edits may have been already done by Vin in his ROM. Use your reg editor to find out.
Good Luck!

Re: SIP Registry Keys

rstoyguy,

I found these myself today while digging thru my phone. Instead of creating my own thread, I searched, found this thread, thanked you, quoted you then subscribed.

I know anyone with Verizon also may have these disabled. So instead of just killing them, this may help some one enable/disable what they need. I'm unsure of any other carriers or ROMs, yet.

To kill a keyboard, change the above values to "0"

True. I have most disabled, but recently re-enabled the touch keyboard. I had never used it, but wanted to give it a try.

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this but I am using the "sprint lovers rom" and my phone automatically goes into flight/airplane mode on startup. is there a reg entry to change this?

Did it just start doing this or has it always done this?
I suggest you ask your rom chef if it has always done this. If it just started then maybe it was something you just installed. You might need to hard reset or re-flash. Plus you probably should post this in the tp2 forum.

Very nice tweaks! I'm impressed with these

[wonder9]

I hope someone can help me with this.: in the Settings ==> personal ==> phone ==> services , I only have call forwarding, call waiting and Message center. How can I add Celler ID and Barring ? Is there something I must add to the registry ?
Thanks in advance
