[EVO 4G General] Lorimere:
Yeppers, thats how I read the maps too. Bet Verizon was looking for a quick way to up thier bandwidth and dropping sprint users from roaming on their network was a quick way to do it.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's not that easy to "pull the plug". There agreements in place, removing them would cause a nice fee for Verizon to pay Sprint. These maps are false. These maps are actually backwards and the top map is the supposed coverage after network vision is complete. Looks like someone is trying to make Sprint look bad, unless something happened over this weekend I don't know about.

Wow look at the top fool it clearly says 4G on 0 bars. You have issues I'm done with this conversation.

So why is he showing me 4g speed tests when he's talking about 3g?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
There is 3G speeds in there too, do you see them? I can write a guide for you.

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
BTW - those aren't impressive 4g speeds. Take away the <1mbps speeds, and that looks very similar to my AT&T 3G speeds.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You mean your HSPA+ speeds? Yea notice that's on 0 bars but of course I knew you'd have something to say. You can never lose even when proven wrong over and over again. Do us all a favor and leave already, you're cloggin up the network.

[EVO 4G General] Mark_in_Tulsa:
I can't recall the fine details, but Sprint and V were required to offer roaming in areas's where one of the other did not have a spectrum at. This was some kind of FCC ruling several years ago.
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
Every area is different. Here Sprint has an overloaded 3g network since day one when they pulled us off alltels network. One T1 on the tower feeds the downtown area of the state capital. Let's just say data is useless there. It has been like that since june 2010...tons of tickets...promises...with no fix yet. Glad 3g roaming works on verizon here...I have tasker set to force roam me during working hours. Anytime I need to download something I always force roam first in this area.
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
I can confirm that the map that shows pretty much all the green in southeast US... is false. It has never been like that.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Very true. Every carrier is area dependent, not one is perfect.

[EVO 4G General] gatolsf:
This are 3g speeds here in the SF Bay Area.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I've had pretty good luck with them down here. I can drive from Indiana down to Orlando and the only time I noticed I didn't have a signal was on a small stretch of 75 at the AL/FL state line.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Most of Sprints coverage is in the southeast us

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
Not like that map shows. Take MS for example...they rely in cell south heavily for coverage there.
[EVO 4G General] :
Sprint just owned us with the recent coverage degradation. It seems us as customers don't really matter. I wonder if they have stores selling sprint services in no sprint default coverage zones.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
True words
[EVO 4G General] playya:
I was just up in Orlando/Tampa area and although I was in a 4g area when I went 3g to stream a movie or two for the kids my streaming speeds were terrible. I just want them to fix 3g speeds and I will be happy.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
But they false advertise nationwide
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Speaking of facts, data is faster on my TB than my Evo than both 3G and 4G. I mean there's really no disputing that.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Wowzers
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Finally NYC is on the list for something new! Thanks for this in depth update.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
I generally get ~2mbps on 3G all up and down the east side of Manhattan. Where I catch 4G (mostly 34th and below) it's 4-8MBps depending on how far I am into a building.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
That's not 3G, you're on 1x. Flash an AOSP ROM to get the correct indicator.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I'm usually in mid town and Tribeca, don't get anywhere near that. Near Union Sq is the same. 500 is about the best I get. Same in Brooklyn, by PP and downtown/fort green.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
It is when Sprint's agreement with Alltel was for 10 years from 2006-2016, VZW buys Alltel, and is only required to keep existing agreements for 4 years.

We are seeing the results of year 5.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
In that case I would switch. All the carriers are really within 10% of each other in terms of price (family plans excluded) when you factor in discounts allowable.
[EVO 4G General] afazel:
Looks like whatever was going on near my work (Irving, TX) is better now. 1383Kbps down 200Kbps up when a couple weeks ago it was 400 down and <100 up.
[Off-topic] duboi97:
Okay well I was checking my phone during school and stuff and my friend, sitting next to me, looks over and was like "I have a better phone than you by 100 times" and I said "BS". He whipped out his phone...and what was it? A LG optimus from sprint (what a joke!). He was like "I can download games anytime! I can watch videos! I can make Real Madrid my background! I can download like a billion apps! I have 4g! My phone is better than yours!" Then I had to show him what kind of piece of crap phone he had. I told him "I can do all that to and my 3g is faster than yours." Then I proceeded to tell him "My phones bigger, faster, and is better in general. I can download more apps than you and handle all of the good games on my phone with no lag at all!" then I showed him my app drawer and he was like "HAH what a loser I can swipe left to right" I called him retarded and said "Dude, that's my app drawer you have the same thing..." He still was not convinced so I told him "Download quadrant from the market" We did that and guess who won? I DID! He stills not convinced....lol

:D

Moral of the story. Don't talk to n00bs about phones!
[Off-topic] peecs121:
I hear you buddy I get into arguments all the time with iPhone users about how much better and faster there phone is. Its actually pretty funny cause people think there stock rom phones or iPhones are better than our juiced up Vibrants. Not a chance!! These devs here make our phones amazing!! Like you said do a speed test or a quadrant test and there's your proof.

[Off-topic] buru898:
Ugh especially when you go to a phone place to help your friend buy a phone and the customer service doesn't have a clue about the phones and only goes on hearsay and tries to convince your friend to buy a piece of crap.

They seriously need to train their employees... especially those damn Cricket stores. Those guys think they know everything. One time they tried to argue with me and I mentioned overclocking and the guy, obviously, didn't know what the hell that meant and he said (trying to say the blackberry storm was a good phone) that "The software alone is overclocked" and I gave him a blank look of stupidity and he tried to go into specifics and I just stopped the conversation... even though he knew nothing, he was never going to give up.

My brother and I laughed when we left because my brother is sort of phone savvy because of me.

Damn you Cricket lol.
[Off-topic] Longcat14:
Oh man, you just reminded me of this story.

I went into the store to have my SIM replaced (I had a bad SIM), and I overheard a sales rep talking to someone about the GS4G.

This is what he said.

"Yeah, this phone is great. It runs Samsung's NEW Snapdragon CPU at 1.8GHz, with 512MB of RAM (thank ****ing god he got that right). It also runs Gingerbread, which is Samsung's newest version of Android."

And I'm not ****ing joking, this guy literally said all of this. I honestly wish I had recorded that, and my reaction.

I literally burst out laughing. I had to come up with "sorry, I though of something funny that happened at school today" to not make me call the employee stupid.

Anyone notice this when flashing this on their bell phones?!

Super impressed with the upload speed :D :D :D :D

This is definately a step up from regular 0.3 upload speed. Got me 1.2mbps++!

"CAN Rogers Wireless"

Can't wait for root.

All right so to clarify I'm on a bell atrix unlocked to fido and I'm on a mac mini. Downloaded the sbf and downloaded a sbf_flash.osx file and followed similar instructions from this link

Now I took out my sim/sd card and got it into rsd mode... then I plugged it into my computer. I proceeded with putting the sbf and the sbf_flash.osx file in a folder. I then cd to that folder... press chmod +x sbf_flash and then I ./sbf_flash and start typing in OLY.. then press tab it then auto completes and I press enter...
