http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-ota-update-all-current-htc-android-phones-now-available

OTA for all HTC android phones in Sprint would be a major reason not to give us Gingerbread for now. They are probably in a hurry to send this to every HTC phone.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I'm in lol
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
This could potentially explain a few things. Since they put source up (and then took it down) maybe they were planning on an OTA update for us, but based on whatever this HTC update is, maybe they wanted to focus on one thing at a time.

Here's to *hoping* our GB update will come after they update all the HTC phones.
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
HTC and Sprint would be in a hurry to push this since it is an exploit to risk customers information.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
But this update is going out to 5-6 different devices what would it matter to throw ours in their too unless they are trying to control the amount of calls going to customer care. Cuz obviously to push updates to 5 devices all at once they are not worried about bandwidth.
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
My guess, is that they are giving this priority for technical support for HTC customers. :confused:
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Supposedly the update modifies an HTC program that tracks what you do. Not applicable to us.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Yeah, it's like Carrier IQ on crack apparently, and they were "unaware" that it was active and could have happened. This ota push was needed before an invasion of privacy suit could be filed. Gingerbread will come in time.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/26/verizon-throws-galaxy-nexus-signup-page-live-claims-exclusivity/
[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
it's going to be a launch exclusive... always the case. I don't know how long their exclusive is, but it won't be forever
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Means nothing
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
So then it is always possible that Sprint can get one with WiMax and just call it something else since it will be exclusive to Verizon for a few months. It gives Samsung time to build one just for Sprint. It would be awesome if they made it WiMax and LTE for Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
They're only going to do WiMax, LTE, and CDMA together on HotSpots. Phones will only use CDMA and WiMax or CDMA and LTE.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Damn! No room for the extra circuitry or is it a capability thing? If so, then there will be no phone that can do both or still unknown at this time?
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:

[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Anyone with any info on the playbook???
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Ummmm....cause 2013 is 2 years away? And until the rollout is complete there will be lots of areas with only WiMax.
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
Wouldn't they start convertng WiMax towers before new ones anyway? Or build LTE towers in wimax area? But I see what you saying.

Sent from my un-rooted Samsung Epic 4G with XDA Premium
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Id imagine they would deploy new lte area first so they could increase their coverage of 4g and possible gain new customers then switch exisiting wimax to lte after
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No, Wimax towers are leased Clearwire. I doubt they will pay to convert Clearwire's towers unless the buy Clearwire which is either near or in bankruptcy.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
No because they will be selling WiMax capable phones through 2012 also

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
^	this. +1. Lte had already been confirmed to of been upgraded on some towers, its just a matter of them flipping the switch. They want to get more towers upgraded before that though. And yes, Clearwire are the ones responsible for Wimax, Sprint was a main sponsor, but not the only one, nonetheless, this can't be good for Clearwire..

My sources: Sprint Representative, and I use to work with Clearwire dealers.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Here's an excellent article that discusses the Network Vision buildout.

http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/10/07/sprints-network-vision-detailed/

According the Dailywireless, Nextel owns a chunk of 1900 mhz that is unused, and the LTE buildout will begin with those frequencies. That would allow WiMax and LTE to operate concurrently since they are in different bands. Quoting:

Sprint first plans to deploy CDMA 1X voice service in its 800 MHz spectrum, since it has better penetrating power, and LTE on the unused 1900 MHz Nextel spectrum. Next it will move CDMA traffic off its PCS cellular band to make room for LTE.

The Network Vision plan uses infrastructure equipment from Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Samsung. It supports 1.9GHz (LTE and CDMA), 800MHz (CDMA) and 1.6GHz (LTE-LightSquared) via a single radio. By the end of next year, Sprint aims to have a combined WiMAX/LTE population coverage of 176 million — with 123 million covered by LTE and 76 million overlapping both.​
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No, it absolutely means something. It means its probably launching exclusive with verizon and sprint won't see it for six months exactly like the nexus s.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I'd hate to see Sprint take a financial loss if clearwire goes under, but the 2500 mHz spectrum is pretty awful for mobile use as we have found out. It has extremely poor building penetration. As I've read it Sprint's Network Vision plans they don't include the 2500 mHz spectrum, just the 800, 1900 and 1600 (LightSquared)
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
Did he\you get the playbook already? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Six months from now is a great time to get a new phone. LTE will just begin to show up. I wouldn't touch a phone that wasn't LTE ready right now.
[Epic 4G General] Qwallace70129:
I thought LTE was rolling out starting in 2013???
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I'm more worried about the voice over 1x so I can talk and surf at the same time. So the first sammy android with this capability I will prolly get it
[Epic 4G General] swear0730:
Anybody heard any new rumors regarding the HTC Holiday coming to Sprint? Seems like it was supposed to be a higher end phone than the HTC Design 4G (aka Kingdom) and was supposed to be available by the end of September.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
According to androidpolice: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/10/25/sprint-plans-to-deploy-lte-advanced-in-the-first-half-of-2013-has-plans-for-voice-over-lte-says-iyad-tarazi/

There's been a lot of buzz over Sprint's LTE plans lately, but the company's vice president of network development and engineering, Iyad Tarazi has just added more fuel to the fire, indicating that Sprint plans to deploy LTE-Advanced in a 10x10 configuration by the first half of 2013, using its 800MHz spectrum, offering download speeds of around 12-15 MB/s.

Meanwhile, Sprint's deployment of LTE on their 1900MHz spectrum is still on track for commercial launch by mid-2012. By the end of 2013, the company plans on having LTE coverage more expansive than their current CDMA network, covering 250-277 million POPs.​

So you might want to wait on that next WiMax phone. ;)
[Epic 4G General] gundamfan:
Can we use this for anything? Does this mean that OTA is sooner then we think?

http://www.androidcentral.com/c-spires-samsung-galaxy-s-gets-its-gingerbread-update

It's a galaxy S that works on CDMA networks. Uses 850/1900 mhz, while ours epic uses 800/1900
[Epic 4G General] tonybeau:
Not waiting for LTE

I don't currently have WIMAX at the moment. I'm sure I won't be on top the list for LTE (New Orleans). My bet is that I'll have another upgrade around the time this area sees LTE,
[Epic 4G General] Qwallace70129:
That's why I didn't upgrade from my Moment until I got here (jacksonville,fl) a few months ago. BUT.....I recently got a text from a friend that she got 4g by the aquarium and by whole foods on magazine .....you would think that at a MINIMUM Canal St. N Bourbon would b covered by now....
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Well that is indication cuz that is the first u.s. carrier of any galaxy s to get official gb
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
All WiMax deployment has been halted for the foreseeable future.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
US Cellular got it on their Galaxy S a month or so ago.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
The nice thing about LTE is that once a tower is upgrade to Network Vision, it's ready for LTE with just a software update. So in theory anywhere that currently has Sprint and Nextel Service can get LTE without further buildout.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Yep, I've used 4G in New Orleans before. Check the Clear.com/coverage map and zoom into N.O. You'll see the protection sites there.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
4g Wimax Coverage can be laughable in my own experience, I was in the middle of nowhere, super small town, their little mcdonald's/gas station was packed with 4g coverage. Hahaha :p
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Only 4g near my area is by a gun and liquor store in the ghetto and the rest is on a .5 mile strip on the freeway.

Yup, very sad.

Stratosphere is a Verizon phone, so it's LTE and different frequency bands, so definitely no WiMax.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
We already have gb source for epic, and a leaked gb rom that works pretty good. Well else do you want?
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I was about to make a similar comment. As a last ditch effort I re-odined the EH17 leak and flashed the Mkasick compiled kernel over it. In the 5 days I've used it I haven't has a single reboot and it's mostly pretty smooth. So far it's the only GB combo that will work as my daily driver.

Still, I'd like to see an official GB released. It bugs me to know there is a newer rom locked away that we can't have yet.

If I knew how to cook roms I'd cook up a stock EH17, just pull some of the bloat, replace the kernel with the compiled kernel, and offer it up. The combo seems to work great.
