Hey guys was reading in the radio thread and trying to figure out what radio is giving the best coverage and data at the moment?
Currently I am on 518 which is what the phone came with out of the box. Have seen some say that this is the better of all of them but have also seen people say to actually downgrade...
Let me know what your on and what your experiences have been.
Thanks will be given if you can help me out here!
It would depend on where you're using your phone, no?
I need something I have no reception at work or at home

that prl hack wouldn't be a good thing to use..as your data always is roaming via Verizon's towers which can get your account terminated for to much roaming, ill post a tut soon though hopefully once I get home..

You could try out each of these radios and see which one works best for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
The 518 radio works great for me.

Can't complain about those speeds while in a half basement. Luckily I have not had any problems with dropped calls or any thing either.

If I had speeds like that, I'd pee my pants!
I average 400 to 600 kbps at my home in Colorado Springs. I've tried all 3 radios and it seems they are all about the same.

We've lauded HTC and Sprint before for the way updates are handled on the EVO 3D, and it's time to do so again. There's a little update coming over the air now. One addition is a widget, the other is ... something. (Update: Ooo! New radio.) But that the EVO 3D can continue to get minor updates without causing major trouble is a pretty big deal. Nicely done.

i had to manually go under settings, system updates and tap htc software update to trigger the update.
seems to mainly just add a corp 4g widget .. and ppl claiming faster 4g speeds.
for some reason in midtown manhattan i dont get 4g signal where i'm at .. so personally haven't bene able to test.
They say it has a new radio too

by new radio, i'm assuming you're referring to the real radio.img which was in the last large OTA. i don't think this OTA has a radio.img. the downloads were very small, as shown in the screenshots above. one for roughly 1-2 MBs and one for 100-200 KBs.
a radio.img would be rough 20+MBs in size and require a reboot to recovery/bootloader for it to properly installed.
this update did not require a reboot and installed very quickly. the update will probably have only put the two downloaded files into /data/app.
Yea I was reading more about that. I didn't update anything but if there isn't s radio then I don't need it. My service sucks here, my og EVO is a lot better when it cones to that.

Hmmm, mine works over WiFi already.

Wow i thought there were more channels.... Now its, only seven... The rest are premium..... Pretty weak if you ask me....
But thanks for the link.
Yeah it's been that way for awhile. I stopped watching the channels days ago. Used to be pretty decent at one time.

Damn and I thought I had good speeds.
I have a Galaxy Nexus LTE and did not see these speeds with Verizon
Yeah I've hit the mid - high 50's as well. But, to be fair AT&T's LTE network isn't as congested as Verizon.
Hell I was jumping up and down hitting 2+ down haha
I'll never see LTE in my area
I got 57 last night in the del taco drive through.
What the hell? LTE in Boston sucks

Same speeds in McKinney,TX which is in the North Dallas area. I'll probably keep my International Note now. I'm getting 8-10 with HSP+.
I haven't ran the test since then since I hit 5 gbs of data only 3 days into my plan...
I think i like the ping times the most so far, and Im not even in a lte area.

So I just got myself a new GS3 and everything seems to be working great except my phone goes to Edge where I should be getting 4G. My brothers GS2 is sitting next to mine and he's got full 4G. I'm fully stock and not rooted. Any ideas?

You sure you're not holding it in a death grip? Just playing, how many bars does your brother get in 4G mode? If he's rooted, he probably has a custom modem so that could be the difference. or you're antenna is just crap.
Lol were both stock and not rooted atm. He had I think two bars at 4G and I had full 3 bars on Edge. It's been on 4G since that but if it keeps doing it I'm gonna go and exchange it or it may be a software issue that a OTA will resolve

We're distracted enough out there on the road as it is...last thing we need are a few thousand Android geeks looking at their phones to see if they have LTE. Or worse yet, toggle settings while cruising to get that fleeting glimpse of a not-ready-for-primetime LTE signal.
Let's be careful out there ...
