Guess we will be seeing the EVO 3D on the 850/1900 3G/4G bands soon which means AT&T 3G/4G on this bad boy!!

Wow, Sprint dropped the F'n ball....Allowing this sh!t to happen. Between the defects of the E3D and data outage for the past week in the 5 boroughs of NYC, I swear...I'm about to switch!
Uhh I don't think it works that way...

I am right there with ya. I don't really like sprint's coverage and yes, within the last few weeks, it has been even worse than I remember in the past and the 4g has been almost useless in the NYC areas as I live in northern NJ. I have an at&t account on my SGSII and their coverage is great. Bottom line is, I may be picking this bad boy up when it comes out!!

I hear ya. I left AT&T for the EvO4G and stayed bc I get a nice discount & wanted the E3D. My friend has the iPhone4 and we both did a speed test earlier...He was pulling 1.2mbps down while I was struggling to hit 800kbps. Then I was down on Jerome Ave in the BX where I had full bars of 4G and only getting 2.0mbps down. WTF?!?
If I give this phone back and use the money to cancel...I have no clue where I'll go. Between lackluster phones on other carriers and tier plains...It's getting out of hand!
*EDIT* Did I mention the iPhone4 doesn't even have HSPA+. Yea...it gets worse. Ridiculous!
lol fml... i gave up my unlimited data plan that ive had for 4 years on att to jump ship to spring SPECIFICALLY for this phone, then they do this. sprints service blows and now im going to be stuck with them for a while. if another good non sprint phone comes out i may just bite the bullet and pay the early cancellation.
just go now before your 30 days are up.
att would probably love to have you back.
eww with at&t prices..not even their DSL is good. i had to cut a tree for good signal..switched to time warner and i have had sprint for a longgg time like 9 years.
I don't know how your guys data sucks so bad I get far better speeds than anything ATT puts out. I also have a far cheaper unlimited plan than anything ATT can offer. My last speed tests at home had 2.1mbps on 3g an 10mbps down in 4G.
I've had ATT service before, ill never have it again. Their customer service, prices, and average local coverage just make them laughable to me. If you go that route good luck, because around my parts unlimited data doesn't exist and I'm not about to pay crazy overages. I easily use between 7 and 10 gb a month with out tethering.
With the dependency on data for these phones increasing any plan that limits your data is crazy.

Also Roger's site updated
https://www.rogers.com/web/content/3ddevices
Strange, it says VGA front camera wheres the Sprint version says 1.3MP as we all knew. Typo..? Anyway, nice to see the 850/1900 bands are present. Minor Rogers branding on the back but not too bad...
Now all we need is a release date!

Here in northern Colorado I get 1.0 - 1.3mb 3G down speeds with 4G around 10mb down. BUT there are some areas its Horrible. With roaming only. Not long back I know there was a company that Sprint had a deal with on using there towers for more coverage. But Verizon Bought that company and didnt give sprint the same deal.

Guys I've had my Evo since its release. I love it. Had the hero before it. Loved that. I've had sprint for about 6 years. I love it. Id absolutely love to have the Evolution 3D. I got the money for it. So I was set on getting it. But yesterday I go to a local river...btw I live in san antonio. My bro who has verizon...had good signal on his blackberry. My cousin who has at&t...had good signal on his iphone. Me with my super amazing Evo...had no signal whatsoever. At work I can barely get a signal inside the building also. Like I said I love sprint and my evo. The Evo 3D is by far the phone I want the most. But it seems like people who have at&t and verizon have signal no matter what. I just wanna be able to watch videos and stuff but it seems like with sprint I can't do that. Maybe its just how sprint covers the san antonio area. Can someone help a guy out? What would you guys do if u were me? Its a tough call to make

You can flash a verizon prl to it, I'm currently doing that with my hero and I am getting great signals. You still get 3g but it forces the phone into preferred roaming , so only do that if your plan allows roaming.
Here is a thread with the prl i'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089786
I think it is the latest and it will work on your Evo if you want to test how the signal is.

Well Sprint is still cheaper and if your signal is that bad I think it would be worth investing in. I mean if you really want verizon than go ahead, but I feel that the prl works perfectly and there is no need to make a switch in my opinion,
Well commingle from T-Mobile you will hate Verizon when they throttle you..
I'd say call sprint and tell them you have a network problem with slow speeds.. they will check your coverage
Prolly issue a trouble ticket and then give you a credit or something
Or they may just say f u...
Call before you switch if u do decide to go to Verizon I'm sure sprint will do what they can to keep you as a customer
And as for this nexus s
I don't like it anyways so I'm taking it back

Oh I forgot to add that you don't loose any features either. I can still use Sprint tv. I have the other sprint apps removed, but I thought it was worth adding. So pretty much you get a big increase in 3g speed with no drawbacks....If only I could add a lte chip to my phone to use 4g...
Hmmm sounds cool to me. Oh yeah and I read on engadget that san antonio is one of the first 6 cities that at&t will deploy their lte network this summer. Their headquarters use to be here before it moved to dallas. So I would expect the signal to be very good in texas

My cousin has AT&T and my other one has Verizon. Verizon hardly ever drops calls (same w/ Sprint). AT&T on the other hand...STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!! They're crazy and lock down their devices more than any other carrier. The amazon Market doesn't even work on the AT&T devices.
IF you switch, go to Verizon, but I still suggest staying with Sprint just because they're the cheapest. Try contacting them and see if you can get some type of discount on your plan for crappy service.
EDIT: Within my 10 mile radius @ my house, I have one dead spot. lol! (Jacksonville Florida)
I know this won't help you when your out and about but..since you are a six year customer if you call Sprint and tell them your signal blows they will probrably give you an airwave device..I got one no prob..and now I have great signal for about 100 yards in any direction from the device..its free u just need cable internet..only drawback is that it blocks other cdma devices besides Sprint from getting signal within range of it..I think you can fix that in most phones roaming settings tho
Yeah at&t is a last resort. I read up more on the verizon prls. I don't really feel comfortable doing that. I would consider calling sprint. But the thing is I get good signal at home. Just not anywhere else...lol. at work it sux...at our other house 45 mind away it sux. Its hard to figure out

Hey, I'm new to Jacksonville. Is it worth getting 4g service here? I want to be able to tether the 4g onto my laptop in my apartment. What do you think of the service in the area?????
sprints network in san antonio is pure **** right now. they gave me a date of 6/17 when they will have the towers fixed in my area, culebra/1604 area. but whether that is true i doubt it since this will be about the 4th date they have given for when the towers will be fixed.

4G is available roughly about 20% of the time near me. It's not @ my house, but it is VERY strong outside my neighborhood. (lol).
When I do have it, I get from 1 mbps to 10 mbps. It's really quick for a phone, especially anything over 2 mbps.
EDIT: You can look up Clear's network coverage and see if you're covered. The map literally shows a dead area about a 20 foot radius around my house. LOL
Hey, I'm currently on T-Mobile and I'm thinking of switching to sprint. If you live in the NYC area what are your usual download speeds? Do you get 4G coverage in most places? on TMO with the sensation I have seen almost 7MBps at certain times
Im usually either in brooklyn or lower manhattan and I usually get 4g in those places. The speeds vary from around 3mb-9mb on the evo3d but when I had the evo 4g i got close to 12mb. I dont know if its the phone or service got crappier. I got rid of the Evo4g in the beginning of the year. Also if you leave the 4g on the battery will drain pretty quickly.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
4g has been on and off in the whole area for about a week or so now. When it works its pretty good compared to Tmo which I just jumped ship from.
I've seen dl speeds as high as 11mbs with 1.5mbs up. Pings between 70-110ms. I've never gotten speeds that high from tmo. When it works it works well. However, indoor signal strength is lousy due to the frequencies Sprint uses.
Both have their pros and cons, but the 3vo, unlimited 4g, and att merger sent me to Sprint. Besides Tmo throttled my "unlimited" data when I was depending on the web to prep for the NY bar exam, I'll never forgive them for that nasty surprise.

Thanks guys. I was just at the Sprint store on 23rd and played with the evo 3d. I was getting like 9mbps in the store. I noticed that under quick settings you have to enable 4g? That's kinda strange. I'm really thinking of switching just a little nervous about it since I've been with tmobile forever. I have the sensation and must admit it is a sexier looking device than the evo 3d. But tmo has been slipping Plus with the merger I think now is a time to jump ship. Verizons New data plans are way too much $, att sucks and tmo seems to be going downhill. I use to love their cs but lately its sucked for me.

Sprints 4g isnt like tmobiles. You have to do it manually and you usually dont leave it on if you want your battery to last.

I went to Myrtle Beach about a month ago and my speeds were exactly like that all weekend, my phone was pretty much useless the entire weekend.
I had an issue like that where my service is usually perfect. Lasted a week, then it came back up and the speeds are great. I suspect tower/backhaul upgrades now that the cat is out of the bag with their network strategy update.
Yeah, I'm not sure what is going on but for the past couple of months the service in my area has been awful. I was completely roaming for two months after a storm and now service is back on and the speeds are super slow. Worst part is I've been waiting for them to upgrade to 4G in my area since I had the OG Evo 4G and now Verizon's LTE is creeping closer and closer to my area!
I really believe Sprint's problem is backhaul. My buddy has verizon and usually get's any where from 800kbs-1mb down all the time. Most of the time I'm between 140kbs-300kbs. Oh what I would give to have consistint 1mb download speed. I really don't even care about 4G! Just give me fast 3G!!!
I have had the same issue. My 3G is flat out unusable and I am always roaming. -_- I might have to switch out to verizon and deal with the data cap but at least I will good voice coverage and great 3G/4G speeds. I love how Sprint has true unlimited, but it comes at a price.
there 3g network in many areas is just complete crap. it is in my area, it get so overloaded in the evenings 3g is not even useable. hell even during off peak hours its not even fast enough to stream pandora, youtube, anything. premium data my ass.
I get great speeds actually so I can't complain usually a great 4G signal in the crapper too
Now that has never happened before

Detroit is horrible. The suburbs are anyway. Typically 300 down, but around 1000 at night.
I guess you could always use the Verizon prl to get them to terminate your contract, then sign with a better carrier in your area.

the promise of lte a year from now? Wow. Great. It kinda reminds me how sprint has been telling me "60 more days and 4g will be on in your area...." Those promises started right after I bought the original evo.
Using the 00001 prl works great, just like sprint should. Unfortunately that is a Verizon prl and sprint will quickly whack you for excessive roaming.

Anyone out there that switched from the ET4G for this bad boy?

In not far from u (la grange) and att has improved ALOT in last few years. Still get dropped calls here and there but not like in the past. LTE is just wow and that's even with us in Chi town land not getting nowhere near the speeds other markets are. (10 mbs here and Dallas is at 40mbs) .
I've had VZW LTE on my galaxy tab and left them, was never on sprint but remember Nextel
As for the Note I don't think u will put it down much, battery is mehhh but given how much I use it I'm not complaining and there's always a charger near me. My mother lives in wiilowbrook and I have not had any issues in that area, Indian head park is weak in my experience.

How does the 4glte work inside your house?
Even though I am really close to Sprint wimax towers, i really get no 4g signal inside my house...
Do you drop calls inside your house, or out on the road?
I work from a home office, and using the phone part of the "package" is very important to me...
Thanks again!
I live in Burr Ridge. Last month I sold my Epic Touch 4g on Sprint for the Note.
Back in the day I'd had the iPhone 3g on AT&T and the service sucked, and I'd swore I'd never come back to AT&T, but I really wanted the Note. I've had no problems on the Note on AT&T...no dropped calls yet, and love the 4g speeds. The 3g speeds I get on AT&T are faster than any of the 4g Wimax speeds I used to get on Sprint.
Fyi here is a speediest from my house and I'm not on lte (it always says 4g in the statusbar, when you're in LTE you'll see a little "lte" in there as well)

Back in the day I'd had the iPhone 3g on AT&T and the service sucked, and I'd swore I'd never come back to AT&T, but I really wanted the Note. I've had no problems on the Note on AT&T...no dropped calls yet, and love the 4g speeds. The 3g speeds I get on AT&T are faster than any of the 4g Wimax speeds I used to get on Sprint.

thats great to hear!
when I used to have ATT a few years ago, I dropped calls ALWAYS in certain areas; rt 83 and 63rd street, 55 and 355 overpass, it was pretty pathetic to tell people on a call that you had to hang up, because you were going to lose the call..Plus, when I lived in Darien, I had to go out side to make or receive calls, and that was just stupid, especially in the winter!!
Glad to hear they have upgraded the network in the SW burbs...being an older guy, I actually use the phone for phone calls first and foremost..
and, as far as pricing, it appears that with 3 lines and the family plan, I will be paying about 30 dollars a month LESS with ATt than with sprint..hard to believe, but I confirmed the pricing yesterday...Sprints 10 dollar "premium" to own a smartphone now is just bull****..

I assume its just as easy to root this guy as it was the ET4g?
I checked the Dev section, and it doesn't seem there are as many custom Roms for this guy yet; it is a lot newer, but I wonder if things like CM9 will ever make their way to this phone...

Really want the giant screen of this phone, even though I really like my Epic Touch 4G; Obviously Sprint data speeds suck right now, but, not sure ATT would be that much better here in the SW 'burbs of Chicago..
Anyone out there that switched from the ET4G for this bad boy?
Are you glad you did, or not so glad?
Thanks so much for your input!

Yeah, rooting was just as easy. Also, there aren't may custom Roms, but Quality > Quantity.
DAGr8's Saurom rom is the only ROM I've flashed so far (gingerbread ROM) and I've had no complaints. There also has already been an ICS leak and various ROM's that I haven't tried yet and we know a real release will be coming.
Also, Cm9 is supposedly coming:

I have a split level house so I'm more in the lower level and I do have spots where I get weak call signal but still able to make receive calls. I too work out of my house (transfer office to cell when I leave) so I rely on my cell for work mainly. LTE reception is very good for me at home but I do use my wifi mainly when home. I have been with att since it was Ameritech and have had every iPhone since the first one but can safely say iPhones cell reception is crap compared to the note. My wife and daughter have iPhones and they still drop calls way way more then me. I never had the phone ur coming from so I can't attest to compare as I have been a sammy guy since the galaxy s and cannot see myself going to another brand.

I'm just hoping the service in my area of Chicago land has improved over what it was 3 years ago, when ATT was the absolute worst in my area..
I never drop calls with sprint when I am out of my house, and inside of it, I have been using an Air Rave device that they provided, so that isn't an issue at home.
Their 3G data is horrible, and, they claim its because they are currently upgrading their network; I gotta tell ya, it was just as bad when they weren't upgrading their network. Typical 3g speeds are 100-400kb, so the thought of getting 5-10 megs from ATT is very exciting...

If I were you, I would test the Note in and around your house for a few days to make sure the reception works well overall.
At times, the data jumps back-and-forth between HSPA and LTE depending on your whereabouts. But...I don't believe it really drains that much battery.
And I agree how Sprint's 3G is an absolute joke....I thought VZW 3G was horrid...but when I saw it on Sprint, it was unbelievably slow.
They continue to advertise that they're the only 1 of the big 4 providers who still offer "truly unlimited data"....but what's the point of having that if you're basically already throttled with dial-up speeds.
Only thing i hate about note is qualcom processor, thats only aspect I miss of s2

yeah, I plan on testing it immediately, but, the problem is of course, that once I port the number over, of their service sucks, its a pain to cancel with them and go back to Sprint; I love the Sammy E4GT, but, I am really switching carriers to get the Note, not Att...I just hope all the improvements in my area that I have heard/read about our true.
I mean, this is the Chicago land market, and I am certain ATT wants to come off as a good provider here..
But I really wanted this phone first and foremost..
So woke up this morning to find I had LTE. only one bar but speeds are encouraging.
Yep, noticed it last night while driving down I-15. LTE is basically everywhere now! I've verified Las Vegas, SLC, Manhattan, Newark, Bethlehem (PA) and Detroit.
Overnight implementation, just like Verizon. Kudos T-Mo. Guess we know what their bold announcement in the next few days will be!
All of this on the $30 prepaid plan too. The best setup in wireless, period!
It's up in O-town too

It's in Lindon and American Fork too. I work in Draper and it's here as well.
Yea I notice that too, there LTE at my house in the west valley area, but I don't need LTE there I have Wi-Fi at home. I need it at my work in Sandy but sadly they don't have it yet.

SLC LTE
Hey Guys I enabled my LTE on my Nexus 4 the other day and when I made it to SLC this morning sure enough it was there. Speeds were promising but could have been a little better. Anyways check it out!
LTE down most of Bangerter HWY also seeing LTE from state street to 5600 west from 3900 s and 3500s and 4500s. Noticing it also going towards the airport from 4700s down 5600w it's getting stronger too, bars have increased past few days
It's been in SLC for about a month now. They have been slowing flipping it on. Only about half of the towers have LTE right now, with the rest of them coming by the end of the summer and a few by the end of the year.

Lol. This thread is also a month old.
Side note, I'm in Boise Idaho and I hope we get it here soon. The hspa here use to be phenomenal but is really lacking the last 6+ months.

LOL, indeed it is...
I just got on t-mobile this month, when I was signing up they had a page pulled up with all the towers and expected dates they would go live with LTE.
There hspa is pretty impressive, that is usually what I get at work inside, sometimes I get LTE, but it is so weak of a signal its not worth it.

Yea I saw you talking about switching on twitter. I just came back over from Verizon myself. Unlimited data and LTE being here soon planted the seed then jump sealed the deal. Won't miss Verizon and their overly expensive bs a bit.

I know they plan on updating every site along the Wasatch Front. I'm not sure of specific dates, but I have seen maps of Salt Lake County, Davis County, and Weber County and most of the sites are supposed to be done by the end of the year. There are a few that are planned for next year too, but once complete, there should be total LTE coverage in the area.
