Hello, I know this is very late in the device's life cycle, but I cannot locate the RTSP/HTTP settings in the advanced menu. Any reason why it would not appear? On Harmonia it would appear but be inaccessible, but on the JMZ stock rom it isn't there at all.
Wow - sorry I missed this. Hopefully you have mail alerts on so even if you don't care after all of this time, you'll at least know you weren't ignored!
Here's the thing - I don't really know the exact reason that Sprint started with proxies but I suspect that it goes back to the early days when (land) broadband was a fraction of today's speeds and traffic management was really necessary. Plus - I imagine that back when they charged by the MB, the proxies may have been part of the data tracking equation.
My point about your roms and situation - after years of this being a constant, Sprint has been making changes. So the EPST options in those roms depend on what the rom devs used as their app bases (iow - where did they get their dialer apps?).
My wife's stock HTC One M8 has only the RTSP proxy listed - not an HTTP one.
Did they finally drop the HTTP proxy or just remove it from the service menu? I'm not sure.
I run a rooted M8 with an M7 modified dialer so that I can get back the roam control options that they took away from me - but that dev didn't have the base for the proxies so now I don't have this option anymore, at all, either.
I imagine that it didn't help that some of the Virgin Mobile users were sure for a while that defeating proxies would get rid of their data throttling (it didn't in the long run).
So - maybe they've dropped it or are dropping it or maybe they're just hiding it now.
I know some Sprint guys - I'll ask around.
After changing the proxies, are they changed in the streaming player's data- /file setting.txt and settings.txt and is there any benefit in changing the user agent in there to a newer version?
My explanation about what proxies are and how they work answered this, although the answer was indirect.
thx EM!
