    Is there a hack to get better data speeds on the iPhone 4s like on android?

    I recently returned my Epic 4G touch for an iPhone 4S on sprint. On the Ep Touch you could do a hack by dialing ##3282# and entering your Msl number. It allowed for faster data speeds and smoother streaming. Is there anything like this that can be done on the iPhone?

    You just downgraded to an EVDO rev A device. Your speeds will always be slow compared to the Epic 4G which is a WiMAX device. And no, there is no code you can punch in to get faster speeds.

    On the epic touch 4G u need your MSL number then on the dial pad put in ##3282# then enter your MSL number go to multimedia then edit and change all settings to 0 and. 0.0.0.0 somehow this allowed faster web surfing and much faster streaming of videos like Netflix and YouTube

    the iPhone does not use Sprint's proxy servers, so there is nothing to edit, the iPhone apps just use more bandwidth in general

    AT&T has stated this isn't true. The issue is that the iPhone is a 3G device and the Epic is 4G.

    Yes, there is but it requires jailbreaking and modding. I recently tried it and it's not bad. Speed it up by .49/kbps at best. Instead of getting .10/kbps I now get .59/kpbs lol.
