newgroundsguru Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have to keep searching for the signal every few minuts. Is there a way to make the phone connect to it automaticly??

Rukin1 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It should connect automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newgroundsguru Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 It does the first time, but as soon as it looses the signal it won't connect, butI search it wil hook to the wimax signal.. also sorry for double posting it kicked m off wimax again and posted twice.

JonnygATL Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Honestly, here in Atlanta with my Sprint GS2, I've been having trouble with Wimax the past two days as well. My first, knee-jerk reaction thought was that they were decommissioning wimax sites. But, as Sprint has an agreement with Clearwire to keep them going through...what was it..2014? 2015?...then I know it can't be that. But interesting that in wildly differing parts of the country we are experiencing similar issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket87 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Is connection optimizer? Ive been seeing a ton of gs2 that go insane switching modes until you turnit off lately. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newgroundsguru Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 No idea. I turn it on and i wont even move, it wont try to reconnect after it loses wimax. I leave it alone for a long time to see if it would try and connect but it never does.. I have to turn it off then turn it back on or re-scan and then it connects.. LTE really needs to get into gear!

Its real a pain and I don't even want to bother with it.. Well theres always this to make it rescan faster and more often NOTE: This is for the original Epic 4G only, there are other guides for other phones (I adapted one for the NS4G). Want Faster Speeds?? This hack can double your 4g speeds and increase your connectivity by a great factor!! You will need your MSL, Call Sprint or follow this: 1. Dial ##3282# 2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on. 3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension 4. Change the Value from -89 to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.) 5. Change EntryCINR to 0004 ————————————————————————— If you are tired of the Radio taking forever to reconnect once you loose your 4G signal, then: 1. Change Scan Retries to 00015 2. Change Scan attempt timeout to 0002 You will now have a somewhat faster and much stronger 4G signal!!! EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market 1. Open ConnectBot 2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada 3. Press SSH and select Local 4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter 5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in “getprop” without the quotes 6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top. 7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL] 8. It will be 6 digits and that’s your MSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It brings me to a screen that says enter MSL and what ever it put in it says invalid lock code so im stuck in that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newgroundsguru Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Did you get your MSL? (look at bottom edit for how) I have looked up and down that screen a few times. Is i called anything else other then [ril.MSL]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't see it there you may have to use CDMA workshop to get it, which is a total PITA. Try some of the get my MSL apps on the android market and see if they work.

nexuss4g Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well theres always this to make it rescan faster and more often NOTE: This is for the original Epic 4G only, there are other guides for other phones (I adapted one for the NS4G). I did this when I had my Nexus S 4G and it did help alot. At the office I was getting disconnected, updated to -110 and bam no more disconnects! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
