I was using my sisters sprint GS3 and it was doing voice and data simultaneously. How is that possible.

Seperate radios or something of that nature, EVO LTE has it too. Tgeres been a few threads about it already and it was pretty well known before release
So we can do that now, I'm know we have lte and cdma radios but we're in a purely cdma area. It just blew my mind. I was like 0.o

Its called SVDO.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I have used it a couple times, it's really nice when you need it. I didn't think sprint was going to ever support this feature. I would give it up for right now for LTE. I'm so sick of waiting for it the 3G network is sooooo slow in most places. There are few places in my area where it works very well but for the most part it sucks.
I was pretty surprised too when I found out that it worked about a month or two ago.

What happened to the 3vo being able to talk and surf at the same time as many reports had stated prior to the release of the 3vo? Is this something to be added later or a never gonna happen type of thing?

It works just fine, but only if your data connection is either via wifi or 4G.
Yes I know that same as the EVO but i meant over 3g not 4g or WiFi

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

I hope they it asap... It would be very handy and good marketing against verizon too.

would be better marketing against at&t really, since they are the only one with bragging rights at the moment to be able to do this, not even verizon can at the moment.
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.
Wondering if anyone has confirmed this phone on Boost mobile, would love to use it at a cheaper plan then Verizon.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Doubt it would work.
I'm pretty sure you can't flash a phone with a sim card to another provider. Atleast not with pageplus here.
Sent from the lab of Dr.Sadistic
The SIM is just for LTE though. Not too sure how that would limit the CDMA part from working. The OG Inc was able to go onto boost. There's a thread about it in the Inc general forum.
Not saying it would work, just wondering what would inhibit it from working.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium.
You can flash it and it would work just fine on any CDMA network.
You need to take it to someone that knows how to reprogram it by writing the NVs.
Once you do that you won't need the LTE sim card.
Its real simple. Trust me.

You'd lose LTE obviously but 3g would still work.

Has anyone successfully ported a Rezound over to boost mobile.
I have one and would be very interested..
Currently using an EVO 4g on boost. But the Rezound would be much better..

If you wanted to go to like T-Mobile or sprint, then there might be interest.

It seems Dish Network has bought into Clearwire and might be pushing to have there network builded out by Sprint on network vision.
Yeah there have been light rumors that they were working a deal over the past few months. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Your guess is as good as mine.
Although I was thinking about it and would it be possible they could use the wimax towers to stream on demand content to their boxes?
I mean wimax has never even been near my house so I think it would be a MAJOR investment for dish to provide this to all their customers. But this is one possibility that ran through my head a minute ago.

I'm had the same problem. My calls would sound garbled on both ends. I exchanged my phone and it still not 100%.
So today I wake up and try to send an SMS and no luck there either. Called sprint and they say it's intermittent problems with the LTE network and it only affects LTE phones. Sucks!

Cant argue with you there,lol Ive got all of the Evo's(OG,3D AND LTE). OG is by far my favorite. Reception on my lte is pretty pretty good in bigger cities but where i live it kinda sucks. Might be your issue as well. Im on sprint but at home im on verizon/at&t towers may be the problem
