So, how can you make sure that you’re consistently pushing data at 300Kbps? Here’s a quick little keypad-command trick from the geniuses at WMExperts to give you more piece of mind on your Sprint Palm treo 800w’s upload data stream.

  1. Start up your Sprint Palm Treo 800w “Dial Pad”
  2. Enter ##EVDO# (for the uninitiated, that’s the same as entering ##3836#)
  3. See that “secret” command menu? See that little box next to “Enable Rev A?” CHECK that box
  4. Set Broadband Setting to “Automatic”
  5. Cruise along at EVDO Rev. A speeds on both the downstream and upstream

That’s it. You paid good money for that Sprint Palm Treo 800w, make sure you get the most bang for your buck. Oh, and make sure to drop us a line and let us know if how much faster your Palm Treo 800w uploads data, and how consistent the increased upload speeds are.

      I tried the ##3836# and there was a block on there. I couldn’t get past this to check the speed. Is there another way?

    • Regina says:

      I apologize. It did work and what a HUGE difference. Thanks!

    • Will Park says:

      What kind of increase are you seeing? You can use bandwidth speed tools from dslreports.com to measure your data speeds.

    • Tim says:

      Wow! Thanks for the great help. I went to several web sites with heavy graphical content before I made the change to evaluate the speed difference. Then I returned once I made the change and wow what a difference in speed.
