[Q] Motorola Photon 4G + LTE?

We are not sure yet. Just wait until we find out. Many say yes, many say not at all. Time will only tell.

Need help deciding what to do. Have the epic now but the radio on it isn't very good so was considering switching to the photon.

I would love to see one since the phone is 10 days from release. SGS3 has a forum and is further from release.
TIA

I am sure it will get one soon enough. Remember that XDA mainly focuses on GSM devices. This has only been the case. Give it time and I am sure it will get one in time.

I have been on sprint for years and they are cdma. The evo 4g, evo 3d and epic 4g all had threads weeks before release. I just want a home to chat up my new phone is all!
Am I asking for too much?

Just give it time. It will be done with the Admins think it is time.
Also there is a spot for asking for new forums

I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The international version doesn't have CDMA radios.
Lte will be rolling through the country later on. Get the quad if you don't want to wait til that happens

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

But the international has no LTE. So it will absolutely not work on Sprint.

I so agree with you!!! I want to go to ATT or TMobile because they're GSM Networks but Sprint is giving me a crazy deal that I could never drop.

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

Photon 4G isn't an LTE device, it's WiMax. Minor difference. But you can get the whole suite of Photon 4G wallpapers here.
Thinking of upgrading to this phone and was wondering if the whole thing with the phone not picking up Wimax is software based or something with the hardware. I'm in Saint Louis, MO and it doesn't look like we are getting LTE from sprint anytime soon.

LTE only

Thanks for the response but that did not answer the initial question of whether this is software or hardware issues as to why.

Yes and not to sound indignant but the way I worded the question the knowledge that the phone only picks up LTE is already there. I was asking why that is and if it was a software or hardware issue, not for clarification on the type of network the phone can use.

No problem. Reading back over this thread, are you wanting to know about the LTE connectivity issue, or why an LTE phone won't work on Wimax?
Sent using my HTC EVO LTE and a magic wand
Wanting to know exactly why, if it is a software issue there may be a work around, if it is hardware then obviously there is nothing to be done.

Wimax and LTE are two different types of 4G, and they operate on different frequencies, therefore they aren't compatible with one another. As far as the LTE connectivity issue that many EVO LTE users have complained about, it's not entirely known whether it's a hardware issue, software issue, or both. The thread I provided you the link to above deals with the connectivity issue.
Sent using my HTC EVO LTE and a magic wand
Wimax support requires an entirely different radio chip inside the phone, which the EVO 4G LTE does not have (one of the main reasons being battery life). It will never have Wimax support.
So it is hardware then. Buying the phone next weekend anyways, the 3g speeds here in St Louis aren't that terrible until you go inside a building. Thanks for that confirmation.
