Disable Sprint proxies for faster DL/UL speeds

Leave a comment

I recently disabled the proxies that were set at the defaults on my Motorola Photon phone. After that, my 3G download speeds were noticeably faster 🙂 4G is spotty in my area but I will do more testing on that next time I have good coverage again. Here are the screenshots of the process: (click the thumbnails for larger non-cropped images) I also plan on posting speedtest results and detailed instructions eventually, but if the screenshots aren’t enough for you

How to get MSL from Sprint for Photon

Leave a comment

I love the phone, however, I have encountered one problem: difficulty in getting the 6 digit MSL number I knew that calling Sprint and asking for the MSL was an option, but I generally despise calling corporations and I knew there were some well known other methods that are done exclusively on the phone itself. So I tried the following methods: #1 root & then getprop

4G internet access in Springfield MO

One comment

Recently I had a very pleasant surprise: Springfield MO has 4G cellular internet coverage! Specifically, Clear has some WiMax towers up covering quite a bit of Springfield as well as Ozark, Republic and possibly Nixa. If you have a compatible Sprint 4G phone then you may already be good to go. I will post speedtest results when I get the chance 🙂 More info: Unofficial Sprint 4G near Springfield, Missouri (Currently receiveing in Ozark) – Android Forumshttp://androidforums.com/4g-discussion/286281-unofficial-sprint-4g-near-springfield-missouri-currently-receiveing-ozark.htmlHello everybody.
