I'm pretty sure it isn't impossible, because when I roam i always get LTE. It's pretty cool. Usually faster than the regular LTE.
It is normal to be able to roam and connect to Sprint's LTE. The EVO only has the 1900 LTE band for Sprint. It's impossible for it to roam on another network's LTE bands...

It's impossible to roam on lte. Your voice connection might be roaming on Verizon or whatnot but your data connection is still relying on sprint.

^^^^^What he said.^^^^^
While the you might have terrible service on LTE when you have low signal bars, this is not always the case. In truth, the signal bars have practially nothing to do with the LTE signal, unlike the relation between the signal bars and 3g.

For some reason though, when i roam, anytime, my LTE IS faster.

Works good for Android...I'm not far from Annapolis and travel through DC often.
Have you seen any LTE yet?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Nope but I don't check much through the city too much, as I'm driving.
Still waiting...
but fear not, Sprint sent me a flyer touting coverage. :silly:
Good to know, hope you see it soon. How about non-lte data speeds?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm mostly on WIFI. When on 3G, it's not horrible but could certainly be better.
IIRC, NoVa ~ 1M down last check indoors. MD, using Baltimore server, was lower.
Cool thanks for the info.

No problem.
Really the coverage areas are a wildcard. Yeehaw.
Good luck.
When coverage isn't the best just roam haha using a force roam mod believe sprint 3g could be better and LTE is pretty dang good when it comes to wherever you are

Generally Sprint's coverage is pretty good. From my experience, where I live in Coastal NC, it's as good at AT&T or even better. Their coverage is getting better all the time too. Google "network vision" and you can read about it. They are doing a TON to upgrade their current towers to enhance 3g speeds and voice capabilities as well as building new towers all the time. From my experiences the new 3G speeds they are upgrading to is faster than Verizon's 3G speeds.
You can check out sprint.com/network to see some of the upgrades they are doing to the towers in your area.
Is it true that are phone signal bars has nothing to do with the LTE signal? I heard the signal bars on our phones are related to voice only.

What do you mean "doesn't work"? You get error 1012? If so, try over Wi-Fi.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Now that you mention it, I went from 16010 to 16012 in NW Ohio.... Yay! eHRPD speeds around peak times seem much better. (If you live in this area you know that an eHRPD connection is about ten times slower than EVDO Rev-A.)
Well done Sprint!

That's because LTE is 4G.
2 questions...
1st, I live in a non 4G area. Is it possible to get on a different carrier's 4G? Or just switch to 3g when roaming?
2nd, a friend has a straight talk phone. Is that possible to switch to my sprint plan? I have a phone on standby and I'm trying to use it up.
Thanks XDA

I don't think you can roam on another carrier's network since they use different LTE spectrum bands like 800,1900,700 etc. Sprint uses 1900 MHz LTE

To answer the second question, no, Sprint will only activate phones in their database which are Sprint branded phones.

I don't think you can since they don't have any 4g roaming contracts with other carriers and since other carriers use different bands of lte
