Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Thats the funniest thing I have read on this forum. But I totally agree with you.

My question is, after enabling the RevA, is there a test that you can run that would show it is actually working? After enabling, I opened the IOTA program as was suggested in one of the threade. The icon briefly changed to IOTA and then went back to say EV. I have not seen any noticeable diff in the speed. Did I do anything wrong?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

for the 117,122,254th time...

evdo rev.a is not really going to increase your d/l speeds. It focuses on much higher upload speeds, and on improving on latency...

With that being said, just browsing the web is not going to show you much of a difference from Rev. O. Applications such as web camming and such will benefit from the increased upload speeds.

Your phone will not tell you that you're using EVDO Rev. A. You will need to do a speed test either from your phone, or using a phone as a modem, and then doing a speed test on your notebook/desktop. ANy upload speeds around the 200-500 ballpark will be Rev. A.

ALso, you will not see this improvement if Sprint has not deployed Rev. A in your market.

Didnt mean to be an a-hole, its just this question has been asked and answered a bunch of times..anyways hope this helps

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

This has been asked a few times in this thread but never answered. Once I am in the EPST edit mode what tab is this setting located on? Is it named REV A. ? I have been unable to locate it.


It may or may not work in my area, but I would like to at least test it for myself.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

if you updated to the 3.35 rom, just leave it alone, evdo is enabled with the rom update. In a nutshell. The best way to find out is to do a speed test

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

thanks for the excellent summary. Is there a way to determine if Rev. A has been employed in my area? Portland, Oregon?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

ok...so i just "enabled" the Rev. A.......OMG....IT IS AMAZINGLY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recommend everyone do it....my speeds before i changed it was around 400 and now i did only one test and it was at 900...so yes!!! change it to enable...when you go to change it it says what do you want to do or whatever and u choose enable so i don't think it automatically has it on...

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Regardless I would appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to shed some light on where this option is located so I may try it out for myself. Any body feel like being kind?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

yes...but it is not...

it says "Change Value To" which means the exact opposite. If it says disabled that means that it is disabled. If it says enabled then it means enabled...HTC is not that stupid...Sprint yes...but HTC made the Rom, sprint only told them when to release it and thats from an HTC rep who i spoke with...

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Do you have your code for getting into the ##778# control panel?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Use both settings and run a download/upload test and post what you get. Everyone else (and I mean everyone) is getting faster upload speeds the other way (upload won't be much different, as Success said)

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

give me a site to go to and i will do the test. and i have to be able to do it from my phone cause im at work.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Yes I got my MSL and unlocked the phone and when I go to "Data Parameters" I only see the Dial String..I don't see any entry for Rev A. I am supposed to be on the "Data Parameters" Page correct?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Sorry but I can't find any that test U/L speed direct from the phone. Anyone?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Fudge...where is the tethering program so i can do it from my laptop when i get home...

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

First post on this page for the tethering program:

speedtest.net gives you the results I believe

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Lol, called Tech support at Sprint to posse the question to them. According to them if you are on Rev a it should say REV up top instead of 1X or EV for EVDO. They didn't know anything about the Enable and Disable in the EPST.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

I wouldn't take anything they say seriously, I can confirm people have gotten rev A speeds with no rev indicator on their phone

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

My whole area is Rev. A and i'm running Rev. A speeds, same old EVDO icon.

As far as where to run a speedtest, I find speakeasy.net/speedtest is faster than speedtest.net and tends to be more accurate.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

That's not true, man those guys are idiots. I have the PX500 card for my laptop and it's been on Rev A ever since they upgraded my area months ago. There's no Rev icon on my mogul :cussing:

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Hey bro, when in that screen. Press view info, highlight the section that states data parameters. That's where Rev. A. is at. You must have gone in edit, MSL. to make changes, otherwise your just viewing what's there.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

question - is there a way to determine for sure if your geographical area is a Rev. A area?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

hmm, this is enabled, I think

am i really caring about uploads from my phone?
i swear, i'm about >< this close to totally dropping my landline.
man, if i was single i'd be set....

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

The screen shot I posted IS from the Data Parameters page...that is why I am confused, I DO NOT have a REV A setting? wierd...I do have the updated ROM and Radio though...What did I miss?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Did you do a Sprite Restore after loading the new ROM? It will remove the Rev. A setting from the EPST.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Ha...crazy you should mention that I DID use Sprite restore...argh...Hard Reset comming right up...damn...

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

I upgraded to the 3.35 ROM and Radio and then loaded NoChem's 5051 build. I found that the 5053 build was very lagy and locked up alot. Anyways, I don't see the Rev A logo either. I did do a sprite restore but i did the ROM one. and only updated the personal databases and email. should i not have done that?

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Usually the ROM option on Sprite Restore would have worked properly...but in this ROM it removes the Rev. A setting.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

Yup I did a hard reset and there it was...I then just selectivly restored from my Sprite backup data..

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

LOL I tried everything with Sprite.

Long story short, I had to start from scratch, a lot of error/conflicts came, even in my barest "Safe Mode". :p

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

I did about three tests at three different servers. once through on disable and once on enable.
download speeds were about the same maybe a 5% variance up or down.
Upload speeds were also pretty consistent.

I did notice that my Ping times were twice as long though.
100-175 ms - disable
200-325ms - enable

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

how can u edit? What is the unlock code that is requested once you select edit? I tried to use my phone unlock code but that didnt work.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

It's your msl number. ^^^

disable = 700k in my room with bad service. Run two for disable was 420k ????

enable = 700k in my room with bad service both still in EVDO though. Run two for enable was 762.60k

haha, in my case it doesn't seem to matter.

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

I was having some bt problems with the 5055 rom and went down to 5051 and the rev-a option wasnt there, and i dont use sprite backup. Im guessing but that setting could be rom related

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

does anyone on JD's rom have the RevA option in their ##778? I just hard resetted and its not there...

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

I'm in the same boat...I'm using VV Blacpill and I can't find the Rev. A option....

Re: Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

I am in the SF Bay Area Market and See no difference. Meh =O
