Has anyone noticed that their IP shows up different internally in the 3d than the external address that sprint gave them? I develop an app that benefits greatly from a direct connection to the phone (not NAT'd by your mobile provider), and my new Evo 3d has this problem while my Evo 4G (and several other sprint phones I've tested on) do not.
Also, could a few people that do have this problem on 3G test if 4G has this same problem? I will be at a developers conference next week where I'd like to demo my app on the 3D, and if 4G alleviates this problem I might be able to go that route for the time being. Thanks.
PS - To check, download "MyIP" or any similar IP listing program from the market and check to see if your internal and external IP's match. Thanks!
wow, glad someone notice that, yea, it does show a different IP on the evo 3d
Anyone else?

yep their different on mine also. could this be the cause of my horrible 3g speeds?
cant get a 4g signal in my area to test sorry
It's probably the sprint proxy.. Is it still that way once they're zeroed out via the increase 3g speeds walk through on here?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I have proxy configured off and the external IP still is not the same. Plus I tried a remote connection on either of the IP's on TCP/2322 and couldnt get through (blocked)
This is not good.
Hmmm....is the external IP static or dynamic?
I rebooted the phone and it acquired a new external IP and device IP.
Wouldnt really be a big deal, however, it would appear there isnt any incoming tcp connections allowed at either address. I always assumed I would be able to ssh into my phone if it were lost, never really checked if the Evo 3d could do it on 3G until now.
wow...this is kinda a big deal...

For the past two weeks, I been having really crappy 3G signal, well barely any. Always stuck on 1X. I'm on SteelRom 2.5 and on PRL 21081.
Anyone else with the same problem? Doubt it's the ROM, maybe the PRL? Or maybe something having to do with Sprint changing the coverage area to EVDO Rev B?
Call them up and complain about your issue. You might get some credit on your bill.
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! Screw Tupac. "A,O,S,P BACK!" >_<
intersting... i was stuck on 1x a while back but it was because of the bad prl sprint rolled out
It's your PRL. Update it. While here in NYC I've had crappy (now better) data speeds since January, they've gotten better. I know there was a recently-released PRL that made people get stuck on 1x, so update it.
Any other Rezound owners with Mobile Hot Spot seeing 4G dropping out fairly often? I almost never lose 4G LTE signal anywhere in my city, but when I have MHS on, it drops out fairly often.
Just noticed this today in Chicago while using hot spot in airport. I think I'm going to call Verizon about it.

I just called and got transferred almost immediately to level 2 tech support. They checked to make sure everything was configured properly on their end of the network before asking me to go to Manage Applications and clearing data in the Mobile Hotspot app.
I'll see how that goes. Next step they said would be Factory Reset, and then possibly switch out the phone.
The thing is, neither of these might fix it. It could be an issue in the software that requires an update. So if any of you have Mobile Hotspot, pay close attention to see if the 4G LTE connection drops out periodically while using MHS, and if so - dial *611 and complain.
Squeaky Wheel gets the oil!
So that didn't fix it. I so very reluctantly am going to try a Factory Reset. I can't stand the idea of having re-download all my apps and set up GO Launcher again, but this is infuriating.

Yeah I'm going to do the Factory Reset tonight and report back.
Even if I keep the MHS for $30/mo to help ensure unlimited data and no red flags, once we have S-OFF, I definitely might switch to another tethering application if it runs smoother.

I had my laptop tethered one night just checking it out and it was dropping off but I thought it had to do with the screen going to sleep. Does LTE stay on while phone screen is asleep? I know that putting the phone in "sleep mode" is supposed to turn it off during the set hours which makes me think that it's not supposed to happen in the normal course of the day when the screen turns off.
I'm looking into cutting off my dsl if the 4g suffices for my internet connection at home.
I'm traveling for work and there is no 4g signal where I'm at and I had no problem with 3g tethering. No drop outs.

Forgive me if this is only peripheral to your topic.
I can't prove this but I believe mobile hotspot is throttled. If you want to see for yourself, try this. Using mobile hotspot, see if you can stream a 1080 p video from youtube on your laptop. Chances are, it will have to stop to buffer every 30 seconds or so. Now download and install easy tether. Now, open 4 you tube windows with 1080 p videos on each 1 and a run em all at the same time.
The difference is freaking amazing. With wired tether this phone will run FOUR videos in high definition simultaneously. That is true 4 g speeds.
By the way running the speed test app I can pull about 26 down and 18 up. So I'm pretty damn sure mobile hotspot is seriously throttled back. Verizon claims wireless hotspot is 4 g, but I smell fish.

False alarm. =\ 4G started dropping out again after a while. Especially when clicking from Amazon Instant Video to Netflix and back on my Roku player. They did recommend trying 3G, so I'll try that before bringing the phone in for an exchange. Not excited about forcing them to manufacture another phone, but we need to press this issue, if it is indeed either a software issue or hardware issue. The WiFi and LTE Rx anetenna are right next to each other so that is suspicious!
Anyone else having this issue needs to start calling Verizon! The Tech Rep said he saw no record of this complaint for the Rezound in the system. So they are assuming it is just me.

Easy teether is for wired USB internet. Mobile hot spot is for wireless connections. I would highly recommend easytether , it works flawlessly with no problems whatsoever. Here are screen caps of the problem that everyone is having. Verizon is blaming HTC for it saying they don't show any problems on their side. Funny however, my Thunderbolt did it, my Droid Charge at times used to do it and now the Resound. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the app. I did a factory reset, trade sim cards, two tickets for the engineer coming back with no problems, a call from HtC saying phone was defective, a new Rezound with a new sim card and STILL it looses connection.

So... using a usb tether are you using your data plan and not your mhs plan?
And in order to have phone on charger and usb tethered you'd need a splitter then, would this affect the data rate if there is charging going on? Any reason why this can't be done? Trying to figure out how to use my unlimited mhs in place of my dsl and drop dsl. As long as it's reliable and they don't kill my connection with throttling I might do it.

If you have unlimited MHS, then you should have already gotten in on the unlimited data glitch. No splitter. Wired tethering uses data. Phone charges while (wired) tethering. You'll get FAR faster speeds too. (But you can bet they know you're doing it.)
I have noticed when using the MHS to connect to my epic 4g touch that if I leave my rezound ON, I wont lose the connection. But as soon as I turn the screen off the rezound, itll lose connection...

Anyways, great news (sort of). HTC contacted me today and told me they are looking into it since they've been getting calls about this issue. Looks like it is a big problem. They will call me back from 48 hrs up to 10 business days. Glad to see this is getting recognized! Lets keep pressuring VZW/HTC on getting this issue resolved.
38kb a sec data.. i've seen it as low as 2kb/s

My parents use sprint, i use Verizon..
and Ive also noticed their speeds to be pathetically slow.
nice job sprint! lol
Funny thing is, the only time I EVER have issues with my 3G speeds are
1) At home when I can always use Wi-Fi
2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

Sprint blows, i have the same issues in michigan with full bars. They are over congested in my area and don't seem to be in any rush to expand thier 3g network(or introduce 4g). At my other house i get low to average speeds though, also with full bars. IMO, you should never see speeds lower than 800 kbps with 3g coverage. Unfortunately, at my house on the east side of Michigan, the data is frequently between 400-800 kbps, though that is still much higher than the speeds i get when im at my apartment on the west side of Michigan.
keep in mind that the competition is almost always pulling 1500-2500 kbps in areas like mine.

Swyped from mah 3vo!
sprint is the only company where I can get the best service at my place. It all depends on locations you can have them but like a router for 4g 3g service in your house.
LOL at least you get "decent" speeds. On my old TP2 I was getting 600 kb now with the 3D I can't get past 32 kb on 3g. If it wasn't for Wimax near me I would be with big red.....sero plan helps. Seems like I got a fancy paper weight when I'm not in a WiMAX area...... Unlimited data so slow you can't use it.
Going to ##DATA#, and editing the EVDO profile to CDMA HDR Only, I find, gives me the best speeds. The default is CDMA LTE HDR Only. It pains me that LTE is still yet not available in the PDX, but it's what we have to live with for now. In this setting I'm averaging above 1.5mbps and my upload speed is always lower than my down, which is comforting haha

I second this post. I believe that with the integration of this phone more peoplewho had access to 4G and used it day to day is now in the same bus as everyone else is using 3G, hence the congestion.

Every phones password is different.
If you are rooted, you can use an MSL reader from the market.
If not, call sprint ask for your MSL code and (assuming you don't get a douche bag agent) they will give it to you.

I tried it and got improvement. Previously on CDMA HDR LTE I did a speed test and had D: 1128 U: 543. When changed to CDMA HDR I now get D: 1646 U: 841. It was connected to the same server for the test and in the exact same spot.
Quick heads up/fyi:
Going to settings/mobile networks/network mode then changing to "CDMA Only" is quicker/the same as doing the ##data## bit..that's kind of the long way 'round (specially if you're not rooted or don't have your MSL)

Yes it straightened out but it was more like 10 mins. Do you have to do the ##data# trick to get it on CDMA only or will just changing the mobile network setting do the trick? I've read on Sprint.com that if you do this you will save battery life if your not in a LTE area.

Any luck with this? Seems to be within the exception to DMCA. Hacking device to allow compatibility with another network.
Provided the Evo3d, V completed the contract or paid the ETF.
Just have to spoof the wimax mac address right? I wonder if it's an allocated range you have to get within or if you need a donor device (perhaps a shattered screen evo design?)???
It pisses me off and is clearly anticompetitive monopolistic anti-american isht that Clear won't activate an out of contract evo 4g or evo 3d. When these were through sprint, they used the CLEAR towers. The Wimax is 100% compatible. Clear doesn't want to compete and now that Sprint owns a controlling interest in them, there's no need to compete. Same with Freedompop - their wimax portion would work just fine with evo 3d and 4g... they are mvno'ing sprint/clearwire wimax. Such bull****. Class action qui tam? Unfair competition, Sherman antitrust, lanham act violations??? Sick and tired of these carrier cartels.

Update: I have not found a way to make the mac stick. All you have to do is dial ##3283# then press edit thne put in your MSL then press wimax then press "Realm" then change it to 'freedompop.com', then go back to NAI and change it to you freedompop device's wimax MAC followed by @Freedompop.com', then presss commit. If it sticks, you have WIMAX on your evo

Hell yeah!!!! Wonder if you could forward this to @Freedompop4G to help them??? they've officially announced sanctioned use of old sprint phones finally (whereas Clear is still being an enabling little *****). But, even where Freedompop claims to offer byod evo3d (evo 4G IS working byod), evo3d keeps showing unsupported on their freedompop.com/byod activate page. Driving me furious. They say "Dev team" is working on it but won't give a time frame. Really CANNOT wait until Chairman Wheeler @fcc starts kicking some ass and asking tough questions of sprint and the other cartels. So if they really are working on getting sprint phones (wimax) to work but they are just having a difficult time on the tech side, perhaps your solution will help them? IMHO
Menu/Commit the answer?

I am running brad560's Sprint Updated version 3 Final custom ROM on a sprint htc EVO with freedompop. I have been able to get the wimax settings to stick in the ##DATA# screen, by pressing the MENU button and choosing "COMMIT". The phone then reboots and the NAI changes stick!
I have not, however, gotten 4g WiMax to work, despite the progress above.
The custom ROM does, however, let me use the EVO as a hotspot on 3g service!
