First off, you will get the MSL for your phone, allowing you to access all of the locked menu and functions in the phone. Next, you will change some setting to help your streaming TV and internet browsing speeds. None of these tips are illegal in any way.
Call Sprint Customer Service by dialing *2 on your cell. Tell the tech support it is internet related. When you get the internet support on the line tell them your browser froze and you did a reset and it is asking you for a code. The code they give you is not you security pin, but the actual individual master subsidy lock for your phone. DO NOT TELL THEM YOU NEED THE “Master Subsidy Lock”. You can tell them you did ##RTN# and you need a code to finish the reset.
That is your MSL code, write it down and memorize it. You will need that code for changing the functions on the phone. I will post a blog on another method of getting the MSL code yourself, without asking Sprint. It is quite easy if you use a program I have.
Keep in mind that you MUST NOT deviate from what I tell you in these instructions. If you select other menu’s or change other things, you can and most likely will turn your phone into a $500.00 paper weight. So heed my words.
Go to Dialer and press ##3282#
Go to Multimedia>Edit
“Enter Current Code” is displayed. Type in your MSL code.
Go to Multimedia>Edit>MMG>IP and replace all of the digits with zero. It will look like this 000.000.000.000. Press ok.
Go to Multimedia>Edit>MMG>Port and replace all of the digits with zero. It will look like this 0000. Press ok.
If you ever want to change those back for any reason, or to test the change in streaming TV speed, the original settings are:
##3282#
MULTIMEDIA:
IP:068.028.031.020
MMG: PORT 0554
Go to Multimedia>Edit>Buffer Length. Change from 7 to 20. Press enter and done. Your phone will now reset.
You have just bypassed the server that the TV is streamed through, making it faster and reducing nearly all ghosting or skipping. You have also increased the buffer for your internet, allowing more than double the browsing speed as before.
