Samsung Instinct Hacking 103

Samsung Instinct has so many possibilities, it is crazy.  I hope that Sprint decides to take advantage and utilize it’s capabilities.

Go to your dialer and type in ##332846368#

Enter your MSL code.  If you do not know how to get it, please see Samsung Hacking 102.

Go to Toggle DDTM.  Select this feature to be in the OFF position.

Go to Toggle NAI.  Select this feature to be in the OFF position.

Wireless Emporium - Search

You can also go to HDR/1X Selection and change it to EVDO only.  Some have reported a success in forcing the phone to be forced into using the EVDO mode (faster than any other cell company out), instead of taking the CDMA mode (slower) if it is available. 

I myself, have not changed it permanently, as I saw my speeds actually slowing down.  That and I am in Salt Lake City, so we have great EVDO coverage here.  I average 2Mbps to 5Mbps on my speed tests.  That is insane fast!

So what you just did there was two things.  The DDTM is for being able to receive calls and text messages while in Internet Browser or TV mode.  Factory settings do not allow that.  You may choose to dismiss the call or text, or take it.  After you hang up, the Internet browser or TV will resume playing.

The NAI is for the PAM (phone as modem) setting.  That is one of the coolest and best tricks for someone with a cell phone and a serious need for an internet connection.  You just activated your phone as modem setting.  Now, how do you configure it to work?

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ROCK!!!

I am driving to Tucson and I now have high-speed internet on my computer with VISTA. One additional note, for the HDR/1X setting. Setting this to EV-DO gave me internet on my computer that was faster then my Verizon DSL at home however I believe it also prevented my phone from receiving incoming calls/texts.

When I realized I wasn't receiving calls I started calling myself and the phone would not ring. One by one I changed the settings back to the original settings. There was NO CHANGE until I set the HDR/1X back to Hybrid Mode. The moment I did that, my phone started receiving calls again.

So the easy solution for me is that I am simply going to leave it on Hybrid mode and when I need to use my high-speed internet I will just change the setting and after change it back.

I wanted to throw this out there because I had a heart attack when I realized my phone no longer received calls.

Keep trying... I use chat and tell them I want to increase the max volume of the MP3 player.. that seemed to work.

If it doesn't try the first time, try someone else. Someone will eventually give it to you.

I used CDMA Workshop. I downloaded the demo version, but there's a crack out there if you want the full version (don't need it though). I had to download the Sprint Media Manager to get the proper drivers first. Then CDMA Workshop worked like a champ. http://www.cdma-ware.com/

Here's a link to instructions:
