Root [Boost Mobile] Does changing your Vocoder really increase your data speed?

Wow- changed DSS proxy, MM proxies and switched Vocoders to 4VG. Jumped from 190ish kbps DL and 100kbps UL to 909kbps DL and 190kbps UL!!!

It's like crystal meth for your phone.


So you mean eventually this phones teeth will rot out and it will have dentures.. lol
 
Try using the 56009.prl from sprint..its a corp prl,my speed jumped a lot
Then again i guess it might depend on ur location.most of the time i only get around .50 mbps where i live..
Dropbox to 56009.prl >>>> http://db.tt/GQZ02p4r

Am I missiing something? I have set the both url for dss to 0.0.0.0., change to 4gv for all 3, and I am using 56009, tried 61085, etc... but the most i get is 150 kbs. Any suggestions
 
I think it makes it to where your internet connection is not routed through a bunch of not needed servers. I'm not positive, but like I said; I have noticed a big difference in data speeds. So if you have not done it yet, give it a try. :-)
 
I have also set the port to 0 and url to 0.0.0.0 for multimedia but no big gains. Do I need a 3g turbo booster or modify something else?
 
So I've already changed my mm proxies thru ##3282# to 0.0.0.0, n it sped up sum but the dss? What's that supposed to be changed to? And is that dun using the same process as the ##3282#?

There's no set amount to expect.

Depending on your location and the backbone load in your area, the proxy servers can slow you a little or a lot.

All you can do is what you can do, the rest is up to the network.

Sadly, that varies for all of us, too.
 
another way to speed up your data is to go into multimedia and change the proxy address to 0.0.0.0
There is 2 addresses to change to 0.0.0.0
But make sure you do not, and I repeat DO NOT change the proxy ports.

I think another reason to change proxy address is because when you change DNS servers (openDNS, google etc.) the proxies provided often hamper the effect of the DNS settings.

By the by- aren't we supposed to change the ports to 0 as well?

Yes... you need to change your mms to 0.0.0.0 not dss

Just checking because several other users have said not to touch the port settings explicitly under no circumstances.
 
If you changed mms in hidden menu to 0.0.0.0 you just lost the ability to send and possibly receive picture messages
 
If you call boost, tell them your phone won't program automatically and they will give you your MSL to program it manually.

One thing I will say is don't stick a wire into an antenna port or you will need to leave it there forever to have reception.
 
Hey guys... came out with a mod that lets you change your proxy IP, vocoders and also multimedia without an MSL at all if you are interested. All you have to do is flash CTmod 3.80 and then flash my mod/theme from this thread. Let me know what you think. Skinnyjeans also offers a theme that he has made called touch of ice creme jelly with my mods in it if you like another flavor for CTmod. :D
