technically, you can do this for Sprint. At least I did.

Does it make a difference? Tough call. It certainly didn't have any negative side effects...

Malatesta have you noticed any difference yet? Did you use the same unlock code or a sprint unlock code? I wouldn't mind trying this, nothing could make the volume any worse than it is now.

It's not so much a "louder" hack as a "quality" hack.

The title should be corrected.

It uses less compression on the voice signal, giving better quality.

I did this like 6 months ago, but I think I need my MSL code to do it.

from thrilsekr

Quote:

EVRC is "Enhanced Variable Rate CODEC".
It enables a lower bitrate (bandwidth) while still mainting voice quality (full rate at 8.5 kbps, half rate at 4 kbps, and eighth rate at 800 bps) The setting we changed "forces" it to 13kbps. Both Verizon and Sprint use this codec.

Thanks for the info. I thought I needed my msl code. The volume is the one thing that drives me crazy. If I don't use my bluetooth I can't hear. You get the old "you got a $500 phone and you can't hear me. I got this thing running like a top except for that. I would pay for a program that would fix this.

Would this have any effect on the bluetooth headset volume/quality? as it is now i use the Sprint PPC-6700 and Jabra BT500 and I can barely hear anything both at full volume.. im always pushing the headset in to help.. Thanks!

It has made some difference on my unit, with conversations all the sudden going ultra quiet. but it will not increase the loudness overall. If your on sprint you will need your MSL (vzw leaves theirs blank, a la 000000) you can call for it, but you will have a hell of a time or you can try bitpim see this thread

oh, and this isn't exatly a reg hack either, you are actually chaning the settings of the phone chip

12gage 06-17-2007 10:50 PM

i wanted to try this on my sprint ppc 6700 but the unlock code wasn't valid, any suggestions?

Eden 07-05-2007 04:42 PM

I got the MSL from Sprint when I got my PPC-6700 it's ##047842# If anyone needs it.

toolz 07-06-2007 03:30 AM

every code is unique.
its easy to get if you call sprint and simply say "i need to reprogram my phone please, its messed up" they will say "sure, first enter ##123456#" then feel free to just hang up because they just gave you the MSL. its not hard or tricky to get at all. this will work every time.

12gage 07-06-2007 09:16 AM

thank you, sprint did have my number. got without problems

Sponge14 07-12-2007 12:08 AM

You can call customer service and ask for the Master Lock Code. Tell them you are re-programming your phone for another phone number, already did the ESN swap, and just lost the Master Lock Code.

BTW I work for a Sprint distributor, I won't say which one, but if anyone needs help with MSL's let me know.

Me too. Anyone need their Sprint master lock code let me know and I will get it.

Reako10 07-22-2007 08:50 PM

I'm guessing this hack is only for a specific phone?? I am trying this on my 700wx and I can't even pull up the screen when you dial the number given. Any info on this??

-Reako

apicarro 07-22-2007 10:45 PM

if you are with Sprint then you have to dial ##778# .. i was able to do it on the Mogul

Reako10 07-23-2007 02:14 PM

Nope, that didn't help either. Mal? WideAwake? Any info??

-Reako

santos 07-26-2007 09:31 PM

Doesn't work on my Sprint 700wx either.

MerlinsShadow 07-27-2007 12:16 PM

when you say tap edit can you elaborate on that please ? :?:

Reako10 07-30-2007 02:25 AM

When you dial the number a seperate screen should pop up. Therefore giving you the option to manually tap the "edit" button that is presently available.

is the unlock code universal for Sprint, or does each handset have its own number? Can you guys help me with mine....?

Wideawake 08-02-2007 01:54 AM

its not universal ad u can get it by entering ur esn into a app that's located in the titan section in a theard called help with msl.

MerlinsShadow 08-02-2007 10:43 AM

Ok so I am still trying to do this, and the edit thing is confusing me where do I found this edit button, can some one post a screen shot of this screen where edit button is .I have a xv6700 Ok nvm. I finally just decided to press the talk button and i found edit. Yes I know your sitting there asking yourself why in the hell did I not think to ever press the talk button, but hey we all have our retard moments just mine occur more often than not...lol
Thanks in advance

On my mogul, I've also got the option for "Voice 13k - IS733". Anyone know the different?

Rommel 11-27-2007 06:34 PM

Doing these changes or any others to my phone, should I be worried about changing things back if I need to take my phone in for customer service for any reason?

xefe 12-03-2007 12:18 PM

When I do this, only my MDN and MSID information is shown... any ideas ?

hotbyz168 12-08-2007 06:21 PM

From what i understand...leaving it on is the best option because if u dont, the voices can actually sound robotic and distorted if u r driving or around loud noises...and could than sound worse. It will only really be better if u r in a very quite environment and not moving...or else it could backfire and go from better to worse.
