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.

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?

 

I’ll show you how in: Samsung Instinct PAM (Phone As Modem) Setup

Samsung Instinct Hacking 102

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.

Get your personal MASTER SUBSIDY LOCK (MSL CODE) for your phone. All MSL codes are different for every Sprint phone. You must have this code to access the locked functions on your phone.
Increase web browser buffer speed. Yes it increases your internet browsing quite a bit. Works on all Samsung phones with a Multimedia buffer.

Decrease virtually all skipping/ghosting for the streaming TV. That's right, after this trick your TV will be smooth and silky.

Learn how to get messages and calls while you are browsing the internet or watching TV. The phone comes with this feature turned off. Calls go to VM when you do not unlock this feature. VERY USEFUL.

Oh I love this one, my favorite for so many reasons. Who has seen that weird guy at Starbucks or the park, surfing the internet without WiFi in the area, or has a phone connected to his laptop?

Well I'm that weird guy. Why spend money on a EVDO card or a card that gets internet access (you pay for the service like other types of broadband such as cable or DSL)? Why not be able to check your email, surf your laptop, or handle other important business without EVER NEEDING AN ACCESS POINT FOR THE WEB?

You are walking around with a modem in your pocket. Your phone has PAM (phone as modem) capability. Most phones now do, though the owners do not know it and the companies do not want you to do it (without paying a fee).

I will show you how to turn the feature of this phone on. You will connect your phone to your laptop or computer and I will show you how to quickly program the network to use the phone web service to access the internet on your computer when another broadband (your regular connection) network is not connected.
