Well as most of you know, after 500MBs being used on a 4G $40/m plan, you are capped to "3G" speeds
Only problem is that when I did a speed test of that speed, it is around 100kb/s
That's 2G (1x) speeds
So we all know that the 4G is throttled heavily when you reach your cap. But did anyone know that if you are able to access the MetroPCS hidden menu, you can change to connect to the old CDMA EvDo 3G??
I get 500kb/s with that on my Motion with only 1 bar. Running PRL 2032 at the moment as well.
To access the hidden menu on the Motion:
Feel free to post how to do this on other phones please I will add it to OP

To access the hidden menu on the Motion:
- Dial ##626*
- Enter SPC code (go to http://whiterabbit.org/android and enter your IMEI number. The MSL # is the SPC code)
- Scroll down
