Yeah, he was like, "They run off sprints towers".
But then I thought about it and I'm almost 100% certain, sprint has a lock on there wimax, like a giant router with a wep key...
No they run off clearwire and since sprint owns 51% of clearwire they let u use their wimax. You wouldnt have a clearwire account on boost hence no wimax. There used to be a way around it about a year ago but clearwire has since patched that up.

In theroy, if you have a clear account, and you activate your EvO on that account... You could get 4G on the phone...

Hey guys just wanted to share that according to this http://www.androidcentral.com/sprin...-lte-network?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=twitter Sprint and LightSquared will be providing 4G LTE.
What do you guys think will happen with us Wimax 4G customers when they start providing LTE?
I personally think that by then our contract will be near to be ending and we'll be getting early upgrades for our LTE phones but it might be earlier you never know...

By the time lte is up and running you will be on the next version if the 3d....and even then there will be both wimax and lte. So you have plenty if time till they get that up and running.

Also, the next generation of Qualcomm's processors have 3G/LTE support. I doubt we'll see this network up and running while these phones are still relevant. So during your next phone purchase, it might be important.
Just read an article about lightsquared 4g lte. It said something about using 10mghz block. What does that mean to us and if the are referring to spectrum wjat does that mean as far as building penetration and speeds?

Sprint has to enable svdo on their network. The 3d and the EVO shift have the chip set. They are just not activated.

Actually the Verizon Thunderbolt can do it currently. Its been something that has been making me think about jumping ship, though at those prices, I should buy a flip phone for when my Evo is online...
The thunderbolt can only do it on LTE and the phone has no toggle to turn LTE off unless its rooted

No the Verizon TB can do it over cdma without being in LTE area. Not all VZ areas support it yet but the phone deff can do it.

Don't think so. the way sprint is doing their voice+data will require a certain chipset on the phones that supports SVDO, which last I checked is NOT in the EVO3D nor the shift. The MDM9600 is the only one ive seen and confirmed to have this built in.
Also a lil note for people that are interested This post lays out some things for the future in sprint and are pretty reliable sources for those that do not know them.

Well people, after reading this thread I just had to put in my 2 cents about it. I live in a 3G area of upstate New York with NO 4G around me and can talk and surf on my Thunderbolt. That was the only reason I dropped the call dropping iPhone with at&t and swithed. I drive a truck "18 wheeler" and everywhere I have gone in the New England area that doesn't have 4G I have been able to do this.

No he's most definitely wrong. The Thunderbolt can do simultaneous voice and data on 3g in svdo enabled areas.
Talk and Surf on EVO and EVO 3D
The solution is not at all elegant and drain the battery pretty quickly.
What else is new here?
In any event, be it in 3G or 4G (irrelevant for 4G I guess):
1) activate the built-in hotspot (password protect it to prevent others taking
advantage of FREE Wifi draining your battery faster than Concord)
2) Activate the phone Wifi and connect to the newly created Wifi in Step 1
At this point, you should be able to talk and surf; an added bonus (already available thru the hotspot feature), is you're able to connect other devices to the Hotspot connection created in Step 1.
The new problem you will have now is to find yourself a lasting battery.

Nonexistent. And it won't change, Sprint won't be putting up more WiMax towers.

Because I currently still live and work just outside of 4g coverage, my 4g usage is only about 400-500MB. My wife, on the other hand, uses over 5GB a month, since her office gets full 4g bars.

absolutely zero GB/MB/KB/B per month. We have three towers here and they haven't officially turned them on yet. If you are within a mile or two of them then you can get 4G, but with Sprint allocating zero dollars toward WIMAX then I guess that's what we have to live with until LTE comes out.......which I will believe when I see it.
Great, another "how big is your ePenis" thread.
Why does t Sprint just continue to build their wimax network? Merge or buyout clearwire and continue with what they already got?

The point of lightsquared was to broadcast lte from satellites. Was essentially going to give them near 100% coverage in the us with the flip of a switch.
If they are out of the picture then we are back to getting 4g from towers which will take years. To build out.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i read from some recent articles, Lightsquared has been stating a pretty solid argument (in my opinion) that the first test was purposely rigged, a board member on fcc or somethin was from a GPS company, they used old out dated gps devices that was being interfered with because of careless manufacturing (faulty design) fcc took it to courts/congress to help investigate while also redoing the testing of their network and gps interference

Haha because Wimax blows and I would rather rely on Sprint to build out a 4G network than Clearwire to execute a 4G plan. We all know how Clearwire did with Wimax and lets just say its not complete. Also I would rather have Sprint on a 4G standard that is compliant to every other major carrier and follows the 3GPP standard and plus LTE is much better than Wimax.
Also I am tired of the 2.5 Ghz poor indoor penetration spectrum. I would rather have Sprint's 800 and 1900 Mhz spectrum for LTE and only rely on Clearwire for supplemental LTE capacity instead of relying entirely on Clearwire. I hope Clearwire succeeds and becomes really profitable because that just means that Sprint will be more profitable since it owns a 54% stake.
Maybe when clearwire is profitable they can begin to start expanding again but I don't see this happening until 2015-2016 at the very earliest but they need to focus on getting back into the black.
Light squared may be doomed but sprint still had clear. They are worth a hell of a lot more now since Verizon's huge priced spectrum buy a few months ago. They were set to be gobbled up by sprint but now the value of their spectrum is greater than sprints market cap. Having spent some time with a network engineer for clear, they aren't doing as bad as people think. Sprint will probably end up with much more spectrum than att has now for lte at least with their partnership. Clear will contract out bandwidth to many companies though. You have to remember that even Verizon is pretty limited and will face some problems as lte is more widely adopted. They have only about 10-15mhz of bandwidth.

So if all goes well with the mortgage company I'll be moving to an area with poor Sprint coverage. My question is do I get an airrave or switch carriers? I really love this phone, but to be honest I'm tired of crappy Sprint service. I live in mid-michigan and will never see LTE, so I was thinking vzw. Only problem is they don't have any version of the one series. If I were to switch to vzw what would be the best phone to get? I would assume the Sgs3 when it comes out, but not sure what else they have.

Call Sprint and tell them that you recently move and there is poor service where you currently live. Tell them that you need an Airrave II or you will be force to cancel do to the poor service. I got one and it workd like magic.

The Airrave II needs to be connected to a High Speed Internet. It will provide data and voice coverage for up to 8000 feet. If you dont like the speed that the Airrave II puts out you can always connect to your wireless internet.
Thanks for the replies, I plan on having WiFi anyways so that probably would be my best option because att and vzw are rediculous with their pricing.

Yes they are. I have 4 lines and pay almost $200. With VZW I would be looking I at almost $400 for the same service I get from sprint. You can always make your phone roam for phone service and 3G data. speed will very. just hit #*#*4636*#*# and on the top select the 3 dots, on the menu that comes up hit 800 mhz. only use this feature as last resource.
