Since more and more people are posting LTE hits here and there on their devices, has anyone noticed the improved call quality they hyped when they announced the EVO LTE?

Not really..it was suppose to work with the EVO LTE only for HD voice.

The only thing HD I've experienced with mine is less High and more Horrible...definition. Sprint reps excuse "They are updating the towers"... The response to this is "We can send you a signal booster aka AirRave" when I told the rep isn't HD only working if the party you call has a EVO LTE and they couldn't even answer. Looks like sprint is heading back in the negative when it comes to good customer service. Oh well, still love my EVO and can't wait for the update, hopefully next month :-S

We got an Airave for the house and it actually helps a lot. If you get ish service at home call retentions and have them send you a free one. Hope you all have better luck. :good:

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but how is the 4g compared to the evo? Is it the same hardware in the phone?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm getting a much stronger and consistent 4G signal. After I walked out of Radio Shack, I held up both my old EVO and the new 3D and the 3D had a full strength while the old one had 1 bar.
Sent from my squeeky clean new EVO 3D using XDA Premium App!!!!
Same here. much stronger. 3x the speeds that I was getting with the EVO 4g. Since I doubt the towers changed overnight, all i can say is that radio design improved significantly. I am getting 2x on my wifi as well. In contrast, I am getting two to three times as many signal interruptions (reconnects).
Thanks 4 the response! Now thats another reason to get evo 3d. Anyone else wanna have a response?

What about the battery life
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This thing has 4G? Huh.. I was too busy with all the other features. The simple fact that Sense 3.0 is fast as fark and the phone doesn't has been keeping me busy.
So if all goes well with the mortgage company I'll be moving to an area with poor Sprint coverage. My question is do I get an airrave or switch carriers? I really love this phone, but to be honest I'm tired of crappy Sprint service. I live in mid-michigan and will never see LTE, so I was thinking vzw. Only problem is they don't have any version of the one series. If I were to switch to vzw what would be the best phone to get? I would assume the Sgs3 when it comes out, but not sure what else they have.

Personally I'd probably go for one of the Motorola offerings.

I'd get the nexus, my personal opinion.

I was just checking prices and I'll just get an airrave and deal with my crappy 3g. Its $100 more for less data. Granted I would have LTE, but its not worth $100 when I have WiFi at home and work.

Call Sprint and tell them that you recently move and there is poor service where you currently live. Tell them that you need an Airrave II or you will be force to cancel do to the poor service. I got one and it workd like magic.

Sprint is upgrading the towers in my area of North Hollywood to LTE, which is making my family's mobiles go bonker sh*t. One phone call to Sprint Customer Service later, asked to speak to The Duty Manager, and 3 days later, I had a free AIRAVE. Try it... It worked for me, and now my reception is A M A Z I N G.

Is the airrave strictly for cell service or does it work with data too?

The Airrave II needs to be connected to a High Speed Internet. It will provide data and voice coverage for up to 8000 feet. If you dont like the speed that the Airrave II puts out you can always connect to your wireless internet.
Thanks for the replies, I plan on having WiFi anyways so that probably would be my best option because att and vzw are rediculous with their pricing.

Yes they are. I have 4 lines and pay almost $200. With VZW I would be looking I at almost $400 for the same service I get from sprint. You can always make your phone roam for phone service and 3G data. speed will very. just hit #*#*4636*#*# and on the top select the 3 dots, on the menu that comes up hit 800 mhz. only use this feature as last resource.

That's exactly what I did. Sprint service is generally bad, but where I am its horrible. I called them and a couple days later I got the air rave free of charge.

I'm just curious and wanted to know if I'm the only person who is annoyed by sprint and htc in their design of Evo 4g lte. I was with T-Mobile and i had the freedom to merge two calls regardless if I'm the one who initiated the call or not. Also i had the option to drop any of the merged calles and keep in line with the other one without dropping the call. And finally i had the ability to end a held call if I'm talking with another person.
By the way htc one x and one s have these options, i checked the user manual already.
I just wanted to know your opinion and if there is anything that we can do about it.

I think the evo 3d had this problem as well it always bugged me
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I think sprint doesn't want ti provide these options, i don't know why. I thought what if any of the developers would port the htc one x rom and adopt it to work on evo lte. At least i want to have the ability to end the held call.

So one week I have LTE at my house, and not at my work, then I get super strong LTE at work and it goes back to 3G at my house. Sometimes I get both, today I don't have LTE at either place. Does anyone know why Sprint can't just leave LTE on and leave the sh** alone???
Verizon is sure looking better and better when my contract is up in December.
Anyone else experiencing this off and on crap?

Check to see if they have officially announced it in your city.. If not then they are testing it and you should be getting LTE very effin soon =]

This happened to me for about 2 weeks and then I had constantly LTE. Before this happened my area had no LTE

Best option: ditch sprint
2 months in sprint talk is 2 years in real life. Verizon has very deep pockets even if its a little more costly they're the better option

I'm not sure what area you are in, but I'm in hartland, MI. and I was in my local store today and the guy said he had one of the tower techs in there and they said they were waiting on hardware to update the the towers so they put it on hold and went back to the west side of the state until they get more. I can't complain because something is getting done and the tower in Howell was the first one in MI. to get updated, so it won't be long.

They brought their kid to work & they kept flipping the LTE switch on and off.... Relax man they are testing it.
Its still icy in the middle, let it cook.
Most of us had that happen pre rollout, now I get a constant LTE connection.

Hello folks,
So I was wondering about something, My sister got a text from Sprint on her GSIII and it said we wanted to inform you about upcoming upgrades to the network and such crap and it mentioned something about 4G as well and I wanted to know if anyone else had ever received this and if so did it accompany a tower upgrade to 4G in your area. I ask because I've been with Sprint for a while now and have never received a WiMax or LTE tower near me yet (closest is a couple hours away).
Thanks
Back before 4G was placed pretty much everywhere around me (Camp Hill, PA), I recall getting texted about WiMAX (very slowly) being introduced. I never received the same text for when they converted to LTE.

I looked it up on some other sites and it looks like it doesnt have much to do with the upgrades, it seems to be just a random thing to keep customers.
I also received the text. No updates in my area yet.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
My Gf actually just received one of the texts about upgrades a week ago, that had been made in her area (westland, Michigan) where her phones billing address is, and the 3g speeds are finally bearable/more consistent indoors/outdoors, unlike before where we would both struggle to get 1x indoors....so looks like it's based where your phone is registered/billed at....so there might be some truth in the upgrades happening and the texts corresponding to them...
