I changed a few Wimax settings and it directs me to clear homepage on 4g nomatter what url I put in. At top right hand corner is a link to activate this device. I click it, log in and it just shows rate plans. Is there a way to get this to work with clear?
An interesting note. A rep at clear said the partnership between clear and sprint is only for 3g network. 4g seperate. I'm hoping I can connect to them to get my 4g. Looked at some other threads of people trying to do this as well, still looking.

My city has unofficial Wimax right now. Its not on Sprint's site but Clear's map shows green everywhere here, and I can connect to it with no probs
You can connect to it with your EVO without using a hotspot device, just the phone?

Was able to connect on my 4G and just went outside and tried with my 3D (signal isn't great in my office.) Pulled up Reddit pretty quick. Ran a speed test and got 4500mbps down. Identifies as Sprint but not on their map but comes up at www.clear.com/coverage. Put in 85122 zip code. You will get a message about their service not being available, but the green shows the Wimax
If the 4G Mac Address is not activated on sprint then it can be used to be activated soley to use 4g on CLEAR, to verify if the MAC address is available contact Clear Support at 8888883113 press opt 3 and ask the rep to please check to see if the MAC address is assigned to any MVNO or account and then it can activated. If they ask you what kind of device it is just tell them it is a Intel Laptop as they can have any MAC address assigned in Clears Billing system.
Same here sprint claims there is no 4g but I connect to clear with my EVO and it says I'm connected to sprint

Cautious, not be trolling you, but, list your issue and what you have tried and are trying to do to correct it.
Basically, flashed to Boost Mobile and don't have 4G working, correct?
If I recall, this one is outside what I know, however, I'm interested to know the correction as well just to tuck away for future knowledge.

yes this is correct.
the downside is not having a good understanding of how wimax is tied into boost mobiles service. We all know its sprints old wimax, for now thats all we know until the design is rooted and what not
Okay I just finished reading some ish over in the evo 4g boosted forum here on xda ...apparently we are trying to hex out current boosted WiMAX mac addresses to a connected mac address and both devices should be able to connect at the same time but different towers..
honestly I did this in high school on an open work network they tried to use a mac filter so I checked for computers on that network copied its mac address and spoofed my iPod and laptop mac address and well you I don't need to say anymore
Forgot to mention that you can get WiMAX mac addresses from nandroid back ups

looking forward to the progress. Can we even get 4G connectivity if we have an EvDo or 3G only phone on our account? I suppose the correct settings simply open the door to connectivity much like the Design can by switching between 3G/4G?
I think we have to flash boost WiMAX settings as an update ...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The realm is myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
But that's not the major roadblock. The way Sprint's WiMax works is that they have a database that links each 4G phone's MEID with a specific WiMax MAC and when you have active service on that phone, the MAC address becomes authorized on Clear's network.
In order to have legit 4G on Boost, you'd still need their $299 Evo Design to use as a donor. Then you'd need an as-yet-unknown process of copying the WiMax configuration and RSA keys from the Evo Design to your Evo 3D. I don't see this ever being something that gets figured out on the 3D, since most people who drop the $299 on an Evo Design will just use it as-is. Plus, the Samsung Conquer, Epic 4G and Epic Touch already have full WiMax configuration (including MAC address).
Yeah, the old Evo and Evo Shift could have their WiMax partitions copied between phones. The newer ones are different beasts.
yes i figured this out last week when i purchased a sprint overdrive pro been trying to mod it to clears service got it activated but could not mod the firmware blahhh...
i knew it would be difficult to get on boost 4g we need phew a bunch of things lol anyone notice how when you change your realm to myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com when you try to load a web page it takes you to a subscription page...for either clear sprint or brighthouse lol! okay okay so the thing is to wait tilll your bill drops to 35$ than go to clear subscribe to their 35 or 50 $ plan and you'll have swift 4g woot lol
I apologize as I'm certain this has been asked already. I just got my EVO LTE today. I'm using the Android xda app and I can't find any way to confine a search to a specific forum. When I type in my search, the app searches all forums at CDs!
When I'm away from a wifi signal, and I try to use any app that requires a data connection, I get a no data signal error.
I have tried switching to cdma only, but that does not work. When I check in settings, it also says, "no data connection".
So 1. What's up with that?
Bonus 2. Is there a way to search in the Android xda app and limit it to one forum?
Thanks.

I have a co-worker who just got this phone 2 days ago with the same problem. He called the store, told him what was going on and they said bring it back and they gave him a new one. Well it didn't fix the problem. Now they are saying its cuz Sprint is still working on making things work on ICS.. they have also said its because the update hasn't come to make it a working 4G LTE phone yet.. my friend is a EVO fan and is trying to stick it out, he has a 14 day buyers remorse period which he can exchange it for a different phone which he might go to the SGS2 .. any info would be great. Thanks on advance

Yes, mobile data is on. That's where it says, "no data connection". If you long press, you have the option for cdma only.
I haven't yet called Sprint because I figured this issue must have been posted here and someone had a fix. Also had fear Sprint would not know what the problem was. After the above post, I guess I have a good reason!

I had the same problem and used ##3282# to delete profile and couldn't get it to reconnect. Come to find it is was because i was connected to an airave. I went up the street and updated the profile again and it started working instantly. Haven't had any more problems since.
Same problems here - I kept going into roaming mode with full bars, then out of roaming and zero bars. Couldn't use any mobile data or make calls.
Kept having to update the PRL - like every hour or so. Eventually, updating the PRL stopped fixing the problem. Resetting the phone got the mobile connection working again but it still wigs out after awhile and updating the PRL isn't helping. Only resetting makes it work. Ugh.
I'm on wifi a lot and the wifi radio seems to work like a champ.
Updating the PRL and Profile and then rebooting the phone solved the problem for me.
i am headed to the sprint repair center at lunch for this issue. It will work great as long as I do not turn on the wifi..as soon as it connects to a wifi source it drop the mobile network like it should..but when the wifi goes away it will not reconnect to mobile network..it will say "turning on" then just go to disconnected...sucks. Hope they can either fix it or provide a new one.
IM having a hard time connecting to lte. I have the Evo 4g lte and I can not connect. I live in Dallas off of Frankford and marsh. I have the latest update and constantly updating my prl and profile. I turn lte/cdma to cdma only....and vise versa....I reboot my phone. But nothing. This is my first post that I can remember....in sometime if at all....so if it is in the wrong spot IM sorry.....I just don't went to have an lte phone with no lte. Thanks in advanced

There is some other info to compare with in other threads, check those out.
The short answer, in my opinion, is that the coverage maps are wrong (or not _yet_ accurate). I live and work in areas that should have LTE, but I never see my phone switch to it.

I agree with you on this one. I was in Lewisville, just north of 121 on Friday and had LTE but lost it on my drive home somewhere in Frisco. I have not seen it come back since then and the coverage map says I should have it at home and at work but I never see it come on. I think they only have a few towers up at the moment. I saw some techs working on a tower this morning on my way to work and I couldn't see the vehicle, but was hoping it was Sprint!

Is anyone able to get LTE inside buildings? I used to get WIMAX 4G on my OG EVO at my desk at work near 360 in Arlington and cannot get LTE on the new EVO. Maps say it's covered there. I can get it outside my house in Colleyville, but not inside just like WIMAX was. LTE will be useless to me if I cannot get it inside buildings. Frustrating. Thanks for any suggestions.
Lte was not launched in the first deployment at 100 percent due to high demand. Please check out s4gru.com if you have any questions. Theu have the best info.

For some reason i could connect to LTE for about 30 seconds before my phone would revert to 3G. no matter how many times i updated prl or profile.
Solution: used Network from app store to switch from CDMA+LTE AUTO to LTE,CDMA. now getting lightning fast LTE all the time.

Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD). eHRPD is an enhancement of 1xEV-DO (AKA HRPD) that enables LTE to CDMA handover.
00mred00, do you know a way around this problem? I'm just not getting LTE if I don't change my network like this. Seems odd that we should have to do this at all. Is this a problem of the freshROM or a coverage problem or what?
Thanks for the intel.
It happens because sprint has flipped the switch early and less than half of lte towers are on and are still not fully powered up. The 3g signal is stronger (although slower) than the 4g.. Sprint has said that there lte isn't fully functional and that it's currently mostly for outdoor use

This is pretty much what I have found here in Dallas. I am not convinced we we need a permanent solution for this reason.
