My galaxy s3 had svdo and svlte, so it's not a network thing I believe. Can someone clear this out for me plz. For those who are wondering it's simultaneous voice over 3g data/lte

From what I recall most phones radios are no longer EVDO based so SVDO for 3g and 1x voice is irrelevant. It is hardware based but believe it does not appear on many if any devices any more.

Hi guys, I am looking into getting an upgrade soon from my Droid eris and was wondering if the thunderbolt will work in areas only with 3G coverage and not 4G coverage as it is not available in my area. Thanks.

You have nothing to fear about getting the Tbolt because it'll work just fine. Verizon doesn't have 4G where I live at (Greensboro, NC) currently but I'm getting it (preordered it at Best Buy) because I like having a signal (switching to Verizon) and the city that I live in will be the next batch of cities that they fallout 4G LTE to.

Yes, the thunderbolt will work in 3g or 4g coverage....
The only thing that wont work is the advertised voice and data at the same time as you need 4G (i think voice uses 3G and data 4G or some silly techy thing like that).

According the page at the link above and many other pages, Verizon is enabling simultaneous voice and data over CMDA.

Not that I'm an expert, but Verizon only can enable it under 4G coverage areas. They can do it, I assume, because they stream data over 4G and voice over 1x/3G or something in that nature. I'd post my link references, but I'm too lazy to look for them. However, I think the Wirefly unboxing guy mentioned that too.
Can all Verizon LTE devices do data and voice over 3g?

Actually, IIRC, only HTC devices at this point have two radios that can do simultaneous voice and data. Even then, the voice is being transmitted on the CDMA1x network and data on EVDO.
Thanks for the quick response

I tested this last night while in a 3g only area, and you can indeed use data while on the phone in a 3G area with this phone. IIRC the thunderbolt is capable of this as well.
4G can do silmultaineous data/voice.

Incorrect, I believe the motorola devices cannot. Anandtech's review on the thunderbolt goes over the MANY modems the thunderbolt has.

Qualcomm FTW
Only LTE devices equipped with the a Qualcomm SoC (such as the Rezound & Thunderbolt) have the ability to simultaneous voice and data.

But doesn't the IPhone do it as well? Or is that AT&T I'm thinking about? Either man that's a cool feature. Something I'd use pretty often

It is only on AT&T. They used to have the commercial about talking and surfing on iphone where the guy forgets his anniversary and makes a reservation while talking with his wife.
Only ATT allows it for the iphone.. but ATT is definitely not the only carrier that allows this like they claimed in their commercials. Probably why you don't see those anymore lol. GET SUED!!!! haha
I've been a verizon customer for a day, came from CSpires mess and haven't looked back. Love my actual 3G speeds and the latest and greatest phones. I don't live in a 4G area but new Orleans and mobile are 1.5 hours away. Excited to see what this thing can do on 4g
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
The quick answer is yes. The Thunderbolt and Rezound can do voice/data over 3G.
The long answer is no. The Thunderbolt and Rezound technically do data over 3G and voice over 1X on a separate radio.
LTE is a data-only protocol for now and voice is done over either 1X (in HTC's case) or eHRPD (in all other LTE phone's case)

My thunderbolt can use data and voice over 3g but my girlfriend LG revolution can not use data and voice over 3g only 4g.

That is a gsm phone capability, Evo3D is CDMA, the only way you can talk and surf is with wifi turned on and connected
Or connect in 4G. That's how I do it 4g+call
Sent From My 3rd Dimension
You all are correct. You cannot use voice and data at the same time. The reason GSM phones can do this is because data and voice are done on separate radios. Just like with Sprint (or any other cdma carrier) you can use LTE/WiMax simutaneously with voice, or WiFi becuase they utilize different radios. GSM phones have one radio for data and one for voice. If CDMA phones did this with voice and EVDO it would be possible as well. I do not know why GSM uses two radios and CDMA likes only one (except where LTE/WiMax are concerned).
Thanks to all that answered my question.....

Wow simultaneous 3G data & calls actually work at the same time. I read rumors of this but heard towers needed upgrading for it to work. Didn't think it was actually gonna work but it works perfect also getting much better 3G speed.
Is this in all areas or just certain ones? I wasn't sure if the towers actually needed upgrades or it was phone limitation.
works excellent for me from Norwalk, CA all the way through Rancho Cucamonga.
Mine doesn't. Is there a setting or something?

I don't think there is a setting, that's why I posted I wanted to see if it was area specific or not. I just remember reading a rumor about it a while ago but thought it said it would depend on the towers. I'm in Minneapolis area.

Because the radio is different. At least that's what i'm guessing. Different network different radio.

I thought the EVO used gsm radio for the 4G LTE.. I read somewhere that the phone has an embedded sim card for gsm radio.. That's y I seen the gsm radio frequency on the menu *#*#4636#*#* and if that's the case we shouldn't have this problem... Maybe I miss understood but ill look for the article..

Whatever you read or think is 100% wrong. The Evo is on Sprint's network which is CDMA. While there may be some GSM elements reported in the phone, it is indeed a CDMA phone. Completely different networks, as any google search would show you.

Now I know sprint uses cdma for their regular services... But for the lte services they need to use the gsm in my understanding...

Sprint LTE does not use GSM.

LTE is a variant of utms/gsm. The phone itself is not gsm, there is no way to use the phone on gsm networks. You can't even use LTE on other networks because they all have their own frequencies and differences in their networks

Thank u sir... Somebody that actually answers the question instead of insulting... So with it using a variant of utms/gsm the radios are still different I'm guessing? The only thing I don't understand is I thought the radio was built with the qualcomm chip so if the phones had the same chip then the radio would be similar? Sorry if I'm wrong just trying to grasp an understanding...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Similar board design with a soc but its a modular design that allows for custom built hardware. You can have 3 OEMs with 5 different phones each with the same Qualcomm board and soc and they could all be built specifically for one carrier only. GSM is the standard, CDMA is more prevalent in the US.
