Enable HSUPA for your Samsung Focus and Feel the 4G-ish Speeds


We all know that AT&T is pretty behind when it comes to mobile network speeds, being the number two mobile operator in America that still doesn't even have any real kind of 4G planned until next year. Instead they have decided to follow T-Mobile's lead and slap 4G on top of their HSPA+ capable phones but ironically HSUPA, the upload side of the technology, is completely disabled on those phones as of now.

Luckily, if you have a Samsung Focus you can now enable HSUPA in order to boost those upload speeds to something more bearable. Windows Phone Hacker has the full steps and you don't even need to be jailbroken to enable the new speeds. Okay, it's not really 4G yet but you'll definitely see a nice bump in upload speeds so it could be worth your while.

Here's a rundown of the basics via the site and head over there for some more info:
  • Open up the phone keypad
  • Dial ##634# and press call
  • A diagnostics menu with a number pad should appear. At this screen, enter *#32489#
  • A test mode screen should appear. Press the small back button on the screen (not your phone's back button).
  • Click 5 for the RRC (HSPA) control
  • Press 1 to see what you're currently set to
  • Press 2 to change it, and select option 3 for Release 6 HSDPA/HSUPA
  • Press the End button, then restart your phone.
