That's amazing speeds for 3g lol, I get about .5 down and .3 upload... ):

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Im gotten .7mbps down max on 3g

I believe Ive gotten 1.2+ mbps on 4g before with 1 bar. But I only get it in one town close to me lol.
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
Wow that is trash, but not atypical of what I used to get. They upgraded our tower and boom, way faster.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I know. I didn't get over 4Mbps since the first month this phone came out. All of a sudden, starting last week, my speeds have pretty consistently been over 7Mbps. This was obviously late last night but usually I get one 7Mbps then a bunch of 2's or 3's
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
I know its 12:45 AM and when one can usually pull some of the best Speedtest numbers but:

1902kbps down, 582kbps up on 3G with a pretty good signal. Modem is EC05.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Hopefully, Sprint buys out Clearwire soon.
[Epic 4G General] oscarthegrouch:
As much as I will not want to see this happen, I will speculate that if/when sprint flips the LTE switch, that it may be the end of all you can eat data. I may be wrong but isn't verizon using the 700mhz spectrum for LTE or something? If this is true, 700 mhz is less line of sight than 800/900 is.

Different frequencies have different characteristics. Some have better building penetration if most of it is wood or concrete, but steel structures are more like a rf dead zone inside. Lose signal when riding elevators? You're basically getting into a metal box which isn't very likely to let rf in or out.

Using existing towers, coax and antennas from the nextel network would be smart. The only thing that would need to be changed would be the LTE boxes for the (I think) old analog 800/900 mhz phone technologies. All I'm guessing they might need is the LTE boxes, maybe modems if they aren't in the new boxes (the old modems are probably dog ass slow), run fiber to the tower and the equipment it needs to run with the modems and then just plug them into the existing RF amplifiers. They already have a network deployed with nextel. All needs to be done is pulling the plug on those phones, remove the old equipment that cannot be used in the new setup and replace it with the new tech. Some minor tuning and field testing then throw the switch for LTE and I assume you'd be done.

2.5ghz is just too high of a frequency for area saturation with a reasonable amount of RF output. You'd have to have many more towers or sites to fill the dead spots in and that would cost lots of money to make that happen.
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
Didn't the OP say Lightsquare is paying Sprint to use them for LTE? I sure Sprint is making pay for any extra towers that will be needed.

Oh wow my 4G has hit 5-6Mbps down o.o

[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
It looks like Sprint might be upgrading the existing EVDO Rev A network to Rev B.

There is also a new video on network vision
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Will believe when I see it.
[Epic 4G General] cdszoke:
Honestly if they upgrade their 3g to Rev. B or anything that's actually usable I will be the happiest camper. I like wimax when I get it but it drains the battery on both my evo and epic way too fast. I hate it when I try to watch a youtube video only having to wait to buffer while my friend with the Icrap 4 on AT&T is streaming just lovely on 3g connection. Than my dummy friend tells me his icrap 4 is a 4g phone.......... sorry guys just venting please dont mind me.
[Epic 4G General] caileb:
... at least you're in a 4G area :-/

Clear's coverage is the worst.
[Epic 4G General] ivcesar:
okay i have a very very reliable person that has told clear is testing out the lte network which he said sprint is going to be using the speeds are mark as 90mbps d an 20 up he siad they will be a roll out early 2012 for the firs lte maybe mid 2012 not sure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkieK-mRBlk
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
No New Info here.....this is all covered several months ago....nice try though :D
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
EVDO Rev. B will be a pretty big deal if it gets deployed. We could enjoy 3G speeds that are faster than AT&T and other HSPA carriers, all without killing our batteries.
[Epic 4G General] ddialogue:
I certainly hope this is the case as 3G in my area is terrible. Fortunately, I have 4G and that is Sprint's saving grace.

One of the link's above points to October 7th for a EVDO rev. B upgrade. That would coincide nicely with an iPhone announcement and will be a necessary upgrade (IMO) with the anticipated number of iPhone's coming to Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
can the epic use Rev. B?
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
I did some research on the chipset used by the epic and we have the

Qualcomm QSC6085

which does not support Evdo Rev. B

However the iPhone 4 CDMA version uses the

Qualcomm MDM6600

This chipset already supports GSM and CDMA but they don't use the GSM side right now. On the CDMA side it does support EVDO Rev A/B

I can definitely see Sprint making the simultaneous announcement of iPhone + Rev B support which would trump Verzion by providing simultaneous voice and data and trump everyone by having sprints great prices.

The MDM9600 supports rev a/b + LTE so I can see sprint heading down that path with their lightsquared announcment. Wimax is currently a separate chip which comes from samsung. A single chip solution with EVDO rev a/b and LTE would reduce size and power use.

Sad thing is none of this is coming to our Epic 4Gs. But things are really looking good for Sprint if they roll out Rev B, that would definitely be huge for attracting customers.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
No chance that a firmware update can allow Rev. B?

Sprint makes good PR with moves like this, but they need to implement everywhere and rapidly, or they'll just end up hurting themselves just as they begin turning things around.

"Words are wind."
[Epic 4G General] ap77:
No. It's a hardware/radio thing.

And therein lies the major problem with Sprint's network vision plan. It's efficient and a good thing to do from a network management side. But for the customer who is stuck with whatever bands their phone supports, it's not very helpful.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
They claim it will benefit everyone to some degree, but yes, I'm sure newer handsets will benefit more. Given how often people upgrade these days maybe it's no biggie.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
That would be real cute.. here's the iphone on Sprint! When we get done with Network Vision in a few years, after many people have retired this iphone version, you'll be able to talk, text, and surf at the same time! Awesome, eh?!?
[Epic 4G General] f0xblade:
More information about the GPS interference. Apparently GPS receivers are completely jammed within a few miles of a Lightspeed tower.

http://goo.gl/40Eda
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
Actually yes it will benefit everyone a little as I think rev b is backwards compatible with a when using a single carrier and boosts max speed from 3.1 to 4.9 megabits per second. But we all know we aren't getting 3.1 right now so perhaps the back husk changes associated with network vision will bring increased speeds for even rev a devices. Rev b devices would support multiple channels with a typical deployment of 3 resulting in 14.7 megabit transfer speeds but theoretically they could uses as many channels as they want to bump up the speed greater there are probably trade offs with that though.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Will Rev. B be better at building penetration?
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
If it's deployed on the 800mhz smr spectrum, absolutely.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Looks like the Epic Touch has the same qualcomm chipset as the Epic. No RevB support in either phones.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Lol, so sad.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
This states otherwise. I hope it's right. lol

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
No device has rev b support. Its not even in sprints plans.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I call bs. But sprint is going to 1x advance and they are updating their backhaul which will drastically improve current 3g speeds
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Dunno what that means... but smiley face :D
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
That means they are upgrading their towers, there is a bunch of info on their upgrade program that's been going on for awhile. I've seen what happens firsthand when they do the upgrade though as it is happening around here. Speeds go from complete ass to close to VZW speeds. I moved out to an area where they haven't upgraded the tower yet but the one by my work is upgraded and I can stream music all day while I work. I was actually able to pull 1.9mpbs down one night which is my best ever on boost 3G.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
When are they updating their backhaul? I get a pitiful 75kbps at night

Sent from my spare Droid since my epic got jacked. PM me if you want to sell yours.
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
Can any of you sprint employees shed some light on what they are doing to the 4g in the Visalia, California area? Its slow as balls like 500k in a full signal area. They must be crankin up the 3g like some have stated cause thats roughly 1.5mbs. Just curious what they may be doin to the 4g, and when it mite be finished.

Why can't Tulsa get these upgrades?!?!
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
Those are pretty similar to mine. Sometimes download is pretty decent, other times it is suck and literally like 2 minutes later lol. Best I pulled on a tower with upgraded backhaul was 1.9mbps down via 3g.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I just want them to fix that ping.

Verizon lte might as well be mobile FiOS lol

15mbps 16ms ping? excuse me?
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Same 1.9mbps max
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
I miss my FiOS... I moved to an area with no FiOS and they don't plan to do any more network expansion due to the costs for the foreseeable future... Fastest I can get on stupid Comcast $30/mo is about 22 mbps and thats at night. It goes down to 12-14 mbps during the day. :mad: I was getting 40mbps+ on FiOS at ALL times... Thinking of keeping my primary grandfathered unlimited VZW line hanging around till LTE deploys here and then just hotspotting it with a wireless repeater to cover the whole house and ditching comcast altogether.

As for boost speeds, Sprint literally JUST upgraded another tower by me and I was pulling a consistant 1.1-1.5mpbs down this afternoon at 3:30PM. Upload speeds were suprisingly good too, 600-800mpbs up... NEVER had it go that fast before...
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
That'd be nice. I only manage 50k most of the time in my friggin city.

Yeah, that's right. Dial-up.
[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:

[Epic 4G General] scottyd035ntknow:
I was outside of the city on the NJ side but I could clearly see the big buildings in the distance. It was early afternoon on a weekday but I was blown away. Upload speeds are junk but holy download! And the 3G in my sig was the best I've ever pulled from a Sprint tower although where I work is one of the very few places I know of where Sprint speeds are consistantly better than VZW. My DX gets 400-700k down most of the time while my Epic will usually pull 1mbps or better.

Dont know why they dissapear though. Anyone??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toweringflesh:
My first post...been lurking around for a while.

I feel like this would probably be pretty simple for someone who knew more about what to do.

I tried flashing the zip, then tried using reframe.sh (through android terminal emulator) to reboot into just the framework, then tried editing the framework-res.apk by adding files and moving files to match other Froyo framework-res.apk files...but all of those things failed.

I didn't really anticipate my actions would have the desired effect, but I was trying.

I don't know what would have to be done. If it's simple and someone would be willing to update this for Froyo, I'd appreciate it. I think some others would as well.

In addition, if anyone could point me in the direction of some learning material for this kind of stuff, not just how to theme but also maybe some development guides for beginners, I would appreciate that as well.

Then I could just do this type of thing myself in the future.

Haha I didn't. But a good guide never hurts.

Do you want the lockmod installed along side?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toweringflesh:
What exactly do you mean by the lockmod?

My current rom uses the AOSP lockscreen by default so it shouldn't be an issue, right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
I meant maddoggins lockmod for EC05. It includes 6 different locks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toweringflesh:
Oh, no. I tried to install it but was having issues getting it to work.

The one straight from the lockmod thread didn't work (FC when trying to view Lockscreen Settings), I found a working version in the framework included with the Nebula rom/theme but didn't like the status bar.

I was under the impression the WhiteMochi just used the AOSP, or were you asking for another reason?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
Haha I can make you a version of nebula with a different colored notification bar if you'd like.

I'm sure it uses the AOSP lock. I was just asking if you wanted me to implement the 6 lock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toweringflesh:
If you could get the 6lock in with the Mochi that'd be sweet, but it's not necessary for me.

Would be a huge plus though, hahah.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toweringflesh:
Still looking for anyone willing to possibly port this over to Froyo/SRF.

I'm mainly just looking for a white status bar without a gaudy notification pulldown and attractive icons.

I tried FrostPort v1.2 but personally disliked the status bar icons (all of them).

I noticed that the Galaxy Prevail (the new prepaid Boost Android phone) has a nice white framework, so even a port of that would be killer.

I read up on theming and I have a basic understanding of what to do, it doesn't seem overly difficult. Only issue with me is that I work 5-6 days a week long hours so I don't always have time to devote to studying up/getting in practice...especially as of late.

I have two days off coming up which I'll most likely wind up devoting the bulk of to learning how to theme (devoted my last two days off to my phone as well...don't know how to feel about that).

In the meantime, however...once again...if anyone is up to the task, have at it. I would appreciate it, and I know others would too.
