 |  Latest Speed Hack: Make Your Web Browsing Fly!! OK kids, for those of you who haven't seen this yet, I direct your attention over to http://www.qusers.com for the latest trick to make your Q fly!! Essentially this involves a minor Registry edit, changing your Q's default Verizon servers to OpenDNS servers. The procedure is described here: http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4642 Further info: http://www.opendns.com/ The Registry edit is simple and takes seconds. I haven't had a chance to run before and after benchmarks tests, but perceptually it makes web browsing much, much faster.. Your mileage may vary, however.. The only downside I've experienced is that the Registry changes don't stick.. Which is to say that if I shut off my phone, the DNS entries revert to the default entries. Some people get this to stick, others don't.. But again, no big deal.. I turn my phone on in the AM, open my Registry Editor, change the 2 DNS entries and i'm good to go again.. Very simple.. Check it out.. Great fun!! Ballzo

Is this on the phone itself? Or do I do it with the sync program? | |

| I tried this last night, but when I visit the welcome.opendns.com I get the "oops" screen, which indicates I am not using the DNS servers. I tried it multiple times, restarted the phone, re-entered the DNSs (cause they revert on restart), left in the hard returns, still nothing. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: OK Never mind!!!!!! It just worked. Now if I could only get the settings to stick......

| Humm, strange... My setting are now sticking. I've rebooted the phone 3 times and my DNS changes haven't reverted back to default. I didn't do anything to make them stick... They didn't stick for the first couple of reboots. I suspect they'll reset to default at some point down the road when I least expect it.  |
