I just found this. I'm copying and pasting it step by step.
"HTC Evo 3D is offering good specifications but some problems, such as randomly turn off, short battery life and media volume. With media volume issue, there is no sound when users watch a movie or listen to music. How to deal with HTC Evo 3D media volume problem? This article shows you 4 simple steps to fix HTC Evo 3D media volume issue.
4 Steps to Fix HTC Evo 3D Media Volume Issue
Step 1: Dial ##3282# on your phone’s dialer and then choose “Edit Mode” from the provided options.
Step 2: In the Edit field input your MSL, go to select Advanced Options. Scroll down the list until you reach “EVRC-B” option.
Step 3: Replace Home Orig with EVRC-B and change Roam Orig to EVRC-B.
Step 4: You can fix HTC Evo 3D media volume problem after taping “Menu” and saving those changes."

Is this legit? I did these steps and nothing happened. These steps listed don't seem to pertain to media volume, at least in name they don't. Can anyone offer any insight about this?
This changes the codec to the newer EVRC-B revision. It may improve call quality, but I've had some issues with it randomly dropping calls in the West Palm Beach Fl area, so I switched it back.
It has to do with voice compression and transmission, not volume although it may help.
Note also not all towers support EVRC-B yet.
Those steps are for enhancing call quality. The only method of increasing media volume that I've seen so far requires using a piece of software called qpst. Try searching the dev section for thos instructions if you need a volume boost.
Beat way to boost volume is with the QPST

What are the original settings?
EVRC is the original setting. On both Home Orig and Roam Orig

Changing these settings IMO has definately not only given me better call quality but the in call volume does improve. Ive done this to both my old EVO 4G but now my EVO 3D, and I feel there is a difference, not by much though.

In my ever ending quest to increase my speeds Ive been reading on other phone settings - Can anyone that has a good 3G speed tell me thier settings for Phone Info when you dial : *#*#4636#*#* from the dialer keypad?
I read on the Sensation forum that if you disable cipher it speeds up, I wanted to try but I cant disable that setting for some reason.
Thanks
to be fair that thread says to disable and then enable it again.
i tried and also was unsuccessful. my guess is it has something to do with cdma mode.
Yeah, it does reenable it as well - but I found a few sites mentioning the same steps --- I was just hoping to get a data boost - I assumed it likely wouldnt help anyway...
It seems through Google searches that has something to do with encryption and security..
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Yep - that makes sense - In the Sensation forum people have reported increased speeds with this off. I am aware that it may allow data to go clear then, but I wanted to teste it. It appears though that the 3D cant turn this off, when you press the button it just sits at Enabled.
For some reason when I connect certain headsets to the e3d my phone goes haywire. It will start playing music skipping songs, calling prior numbers on the recently dialed list, launching apps, and more. Any one else have the same issue?

block headset app from the market
that app worked fine for a day or two, but now back to acting crazy when you touch/play with the headset cord
You sure the blocker is turned on (to block)? A green line on the widget means it is blocking. If it's just gray, it isn't blocking the signals and they'll still get through and send your 3vo to the Twilight Zone.

Not sure if this has been discussed here or not but I am just carrying this over from past experience with the OG Evo when i had problems with streaming music on Tunee music using 3g so if anyone cares here's the fix.
***This only works on Sense Based Roms***
1. Open the dialer app and type ##3282#
2. Choose Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL # (If you don't know it you can download the MSL reader app in the Play Store - you must be rooted to use this app)
4. Choose Advanced
5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting select it
6. Then change HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 and HTTP proxy port to 0
7. Then exit and reboot
Now you should be able to stream music using 3g on music apps and such better.
This may help you or it may do nothing for you but I have to do this in order to stream music in Tunee music and Im sure some other apps out there.
Some people have said this also "Slightly" increased data speeds but take that with a grain of salt
Note - This will revert back once you flash a new rom
***Although almost impossible Im not responsible if you damage your phone in any way by doing this***
I see the option but when I click on it, nothing happens. the setting doesn't open up for me to make the change. Running "STOCK WITH GOODIES 1.75" rom. Anyone else not able to access the setting?
Thanks for the info however this did not work for Pandora. If I'm 3G it will not load a song. It says loading or buffering 1% then skips to the next song. Pandora works flawlessly on my WiFi.

Not taking credit for this find since I used it on my Old Photon but I went ahead and added "persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=10" to the end of my build prop to see if it made a difference... might just be me but my speeds went up around 200-300kb/s

Thanks for the 2nd option.
I am Stock so by "clear cache" I assume you mean the App Data for Pandora. I did that and rebooted then tried it out and still nothing. I have email Pandora about it and this was the response that I got:
Thanks for writing, sorry about the trouble. We're aware that recent Android OS updates have resulted in our app not working on certain devices. We're working with Sprint on this issue.
Thanks so much for your patience in the meantime.
Best,

PANDORA® internet radio
Need help? http://help.pandora.com
Did this and I think my data speeds got worse. New Spotify radio would barely play. It would play 2 or 3 seconds then skip, 2-3 seconds, skip. The old version of Pandora worked flawlessly though.
Sigh.
I remember when an OTA broke streaming music on the original evo. Took forever for Sprint to officially fix it. Every since that happened I always remove sprint's proxy from my phone. It helps the speeds a little but because Sprint runs there 3G on netzero streaming music doesn't work so hot unless it's 4 in the morning. I use to stream Rhapsody on HQ music over wimax although it worked well the signal would cut in and out 100 times on a 15 commute. So what I do now is use slacker and cache for offline playback. The stupid part about that is that even when going into cached content it still has to connect to download album art sometimes that can take forever to load. I'm just hoping LTE rollout doesn't look like swiss cheese like wimax was.

Have a unlocked Rezound that I'd like to use as a media device.
Why? Because the device continues to work well. I have a spare battery and chargers, holster and case. It can do wireless (802.11). Plus memory space as well as SD card capabilities.
I think if it was possible to disable the cell modem within the phone, battery life would be increased. Would love to find a ROM that minimizes the bloatware, allows you to disable the cell portion of the phone but maintain the device's other functionality.

I haven't seen a rom that lets you kill the cell radio all together and still keep wifi on. You can kill mobile data or put it in airplane mode when you don't need wifi either.
Install LTE on/off and turn off radio, WiFi can still be used, done.

@rjh20136 I'm partial to Sense ROMs and recommend Ineffable Deus for Sense 3.6, EclipticRez v9 (MHL fix included) for Sense 4. I use EclipticRez with either Sense 4 Car Mode display or XBMC app as a media device. I also use Poweramp and Google Music with ViPER4Android sound mod for car audio. Snuzzo's Funky kernel 3.7 version can underclock to 96 MHz to save battery more, try it out.

As Pmania said, toggle Airplane Mode first and then toggle WiFi back on by itself. I do this myself.
You can also access the Phone Info hidden settings on some ROMs by punching in "*#*#4636#*#*" on the stock dialer.
This panel controls global radio settings and can toggle the cell radio on or off independent of Airplane Mode. Do be careful not to select anything you're unsure of like changing regional frequencies.

To be fair, the grammar and lack of uppercase letters in the first post did not make it 100% clear you meant a specific app title rather than a generic toggle just for the LTE band. Mjones and likely others misunderstand at a glance.
I'm guessing the app is "LTE OnOFF - HTC Thunderbolt" by Cunning Logic. This app accesses that same hidden Phone Info panel accessed by the code I previously mentioned. Would recommend for the OP if the Airplane Mode trick is not preferable and the dialer code doesn't work on their particular ROM.
Other useful apps like Battery Monitor Widget can access the hidden settings too (BMW does it under the main menu > Tests button > Phone Information)

You can use "Power Toggles" from the Play Store. :good:

I think the best way is to simply go to settings > mobile data > and change the network mode from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only...or turn on ur WiFi and that will help battery life too, cuz I think it like puts the data antenna in like a standy mode to conserve battery.
I haven't noticed any more significant battery drain while on 4g, I believe our phone uses the same antenna for both 3g and 4g. But I could see it possibly draining battery if it is constantly acquiring an LTE signal then losing it shortly there after, repeatidly over and over...
Someone correct if I'm wrong about anything...

I think you're right. I don't need 4g 99% of the time. I think even when on 4g it uses more than 3g, but maybe it's like you're saying. I did fully charge my phone then went to sleep. The next day phone lost 40% charge only difference was 4g on. I'm going to try 3g tonight, then wifi, then 4g again and see and let everyone know.
Edit: so far most posts accept 4g uses more power. Maybe needed to run lte versus just cdma uses more power so it's not the 4g of it, but more needing to run an extra system. 3g works fine with just cdma on so that's probably why.

Sounds like a good experiment, also when testing WiFi remember some roms allow the phone to disable WiFi after a time of inactivity, should disable that when you test it...try to even the playing field. Even though Ive read WiFi uses less battery that using data...

How would you set up that task? You can set up tasks that affect 2g/3g and wimax, but I haven't seen anything for LTE. In fact, I'm almost positive he addressed this on his site, saying it wasn't possible (yet). Did I miss an update?

For Sense ROMs, set up a widget on your homescreen and point it to a task like below (the steps may need a tweak or two to work correctly as I'm not reading the steps directly from a task)
Also create a variable named Data4g (or whatever you want) and set it to ON
If %Data4g is ON
Mobile Data Settings

For AOSP/CM ROMS I think there's an option in the Secure Settings add-on that can toggle 4G, but I've never used an AOSP or CM ROM yet.

Dpad settings - mind blown. Never saw those before. I was looking for a much simpler setting, like the one that's there for wimax. That does seem like a roundabout way of doing it but it'll work all right.

Edit - you can access that setting easily through quick settings on the notification bar in Viper rom, btw.
Yeah, the dpad stuff is pretty cool. There's an LTE toggle in Secure Settings too (separate from wimax) so you could trigger it with a Tasker action through the plugin. Can't test it though because I don't have LTE at my house.
EDIT: sorry just noticed louched already posted this.

I know you can make a settings widget directly through sense and probably any aosp rom. Just direct it to the settings page you want it to open, I used to have one that opened the bluetooth settings to quickly change my audio devices. I just wish there was a better way to force entry into 4G. I'm tired of restarting my damn phone cause the airplane mode bs almost never works for me.
