Should I enable REV. A in ##778#?
 

It is disabled by default.

You can try with and without for yourself, both say yes some say no.

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

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

My DL didn't change, but my UL dropped to Rev. 0 speeds with it "enabled" in PST. I'd say leave it disabled.

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

Has anyone got an answer on why this is disabled by what appears to be default? It was kind of a big hullaballoo in the AP story....

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

It was stated by someone else in the official rom thread so i don't wan't credit for it, but it is enabled by default, it says disable as meaning "it is enabled but click here to disable it." The way it is shown is confusing, it looks as if it is backwards but if you think of it that way it makes sense.

W/ it saying disable i get u/l speeds of around 400-600k. With it saying enable i get 80-120k. So it says enable not enabled which means it is off click here to turn it on and make it say disable to shut it back off.

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

Ahh sprint. Give out an update for rev a that says it's disabled but that actually means it's enabled, maybe.... i love you sprint.

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

I agree with others. After reading some of the other threads they are saying that disabled really means enabled.

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

LoL... Well pretend it is a control panel right...It says Rev.A ... Disable. That would mean that it is enabled. If it were to say disable"d" that would change the meaning.

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

Thanks for the response, I will leave it disabled uh I mean enabled.. uh yeah. Leave it alone.

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

The key is "Disable" vs "Disabled". I imagine it's there in case you have an issue with Rev A. and need to disable the feature for troubleshooting.

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

I had posted in other thread that before changing My area at office is low signal I go about 50 kbs and dslreports and freespeedtest. After enable I was average 497 kbs to 600 kbs. Thats why I said try for yourself. On a job with better signal today with enable I got 1.1 mbs and with disable I got 74 kbs.

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

Either way mine is slow.

599.2 KBPS with it saying "Disable"
762.6 KBPS with it saying "Enable"

I have no readings for UL speeds, though.

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

236 with disable

877 with enable



.... still not 1mb +

what does the rev a icon look like ?

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

With Rev A enable my upload speeds would not exceed 120k and I had a ping in 200ms range. After disabeling Rev A my upload jumped to around 400k and my ping dropped to about 100ms.... That would indicate that in my case Rev A Disabled actually means Enabled :)

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

Just curious, someone a few posts ago mentioned a 'Rev A Icon'....other than the speed, is there any indicator, icon, etc. that shows that you're hitting Rev A? Probably not - just curious....

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

what is the password to enter the edit ???

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

Your MSL...

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

were is dat?

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

There are a few threads on this forum that tell you how to find your MSL. There is a program you can run from your phone that will tell you. That is also posted on this forum.

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

where can i find the rev A? I know ##778# i know my msl number and everything , i even know how to find it in the older roms, but in this one there is no advance tabs , there are alot more options now and i cannot find the option (in the tab on the bottm left of the screen , when you go from the edit option to the information page. please let me know

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

I was going to experiment with Rev. A enabled and disabled. But after ##778# it's asking me to enter "Unlock Code". I did not establish a code when I set up the phone. Any ideas?

Thanks.

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

Use GetSPC (do a search for it), extract the zip & copy the folder to your phone. Run the program & when you enter your HEX ESN from under your battery it will provide you your MSL which is the code you need to edit your Rev. A settings.

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

wow! thanks a million! worked like a snap.. Now I'm really dangerous with my unlock code - just what a noobie needs!!???

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

Can't believe no one answered this. :rolleyes:

No, no icon difference (still Ev) the speed boost is extremely noticeable though IMHO I'm moving at 3x the rate I was before, you can tell its Rev A from that alone.
The Parms hack makes it that much sweeter.:headbang:

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

do you think sprint might send people the letter of cancelation for this????

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

Sprint is in such dire straights right now I think you could urinate on their conference room table at corporate headquarters and they STILL would give you free texting and an additional 100 minutes per month.

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

yea but activating that feature can that provoce sprint to cancel yur account or something?

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

You could run up to the CEO, hit him in the testicles with a hammer, and THEN urinate on his conference table...he would STILL apologize to you for whever he did wrong, BEG for you to remain a customer, and then promptly offer you free texting and perhaps free navigation.

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

There is no feature to activate, it's already activated. If you don't know how to get into PST to edit, you probably shouldn't be editing.

Also, those of oyu testing via the mobile speedtests, they aren't very accurate. If you want an accurate test, I suggest you tether and go someplace like speakeasy.

lmfaoo damn bro yu going hard man lmfaoo

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

hello, anyone tell me what to look for in the above settings? thank you in advance

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

Think you could point me in the right direction for the hack? I found one a couple months ago that worked great. There was one posted a couple weeks ago thats not as good. Hoping your using the latter.

Testicle Bangin! lol

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

sucks...i get 235.7 with the setting saying enabled; and 244 with it saying disabled...not a big difference at all :(

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

No clue where the settings are for the REV. A enable/disable.

I just checked Mobilespeedtest on PIE and am consistently getting 1.37Mbps on the download side. I guess that means REV A is working.

Using No2Chem Nue ROM.

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

How many times did you perform the test? I am north of NYC (Nyack, NY) and got 1300kbps up / 360kbps down without enabling.

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

you can also dial ##775# to bypass the epst options. just discovered that last night.

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

I find it sorta funny everyone is testing their download speeds to determine if they have rev-a working... that's not going to tell you much of anything.

The only real world noticeable gain from the Rev-a is upload speeds. If you can hit above 150kbit/s upstream (uploading) rev-a is working... You were limited to about 150kbit/s upstream with EVDO (rev0). With rev-a the upstream link is capable of 1.8 Mbit/s (with one person on it). So realistically expect 400-900kbit upload speeds /w other people using it as well in your cell sector.

EVDO (rev0) was capable of downstream (download) burst speeds of 2.45Mbit/s (not that you would ever see that regularly). rev-a changed that from 2.45 Mbit/s to 3.1 Mbit/s on the downstream. So not much of difference there... From what I remember of Sprints EVDO (rev0) launch a lot of the cell sectors we're limited to 1.8Mbit downstream at launch anyway. So using download speeds to gauge if rev-a is working is kinda silly.

I'll await the post after this posting their download speeds yet again to gauge if rev-a is working :rolleyes:
