Keep in mind it was Clearwire that was expanding the network.

We know that Clearwire was switching to LTE and that Lightsquard's (LTE) name was thrown into the mix.

There was a rumor about Sprint buying Clearwire too.
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
Clear is in a funding issue. Will it is generating revenue it ran out of funds to massively expand without more funds.

That is the reason why it has stopped expanding.

A sprint acquisition would mean they could expand with the funds that Sprint has more readily available than Clear does right now.
[EVO 4G General] infallibleapex:
Would that mean new devices or just an update to work with lte? If it went to lte.. otherwise, massive 4g expansion would ve cool too

sent from my supersonic evo .:CM7:.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Would that mean our 10 extra bucks are finally going to work?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
New device.

Do you know how long it takes to build a network?

Verizon's LTE was started in what, 08 or 09?
[EVO 4G General] kniteshift:
just bought 2000 shares of clearwire stocks :D
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
How much is it also can one buy lightsquared might as well get Sprint as well
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
As for thoughts hope its awesome news sprint needs some
[EVO 4G General] AA27:
I hope so!!! Probably the 10 bucks was to get this! LOL
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
hope this is better than any of their prior announcements....remember the "kyocera echo" announcement? Sprint hyped the event so much before they announced the echo and it was a complete fail.
[EVO 4G General] sameog:
sprint's 4g announcement

My money is on the IPhone 5.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
"Strategy update"
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Agreed that announcement was the worse one ever lol
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
Im thinking it will have something to do with their network capacity/bandwidth.

But The main thing will be the buying the rest of Clear. It is a very logical step.

plus if you didn't know they either pay Clear monthly or a one time fee for each 4g device they sell. technically they would save money as well as be able to funnel Clear up the arse with $$ better than how it is being funneled now. My bet is a full ownership and incorporation of Clear wire into SPRINT-nextel. Then phasing out IDEN and using spectrum for Clear if it is possible or Lightsquard.
[EVO 4G General] Active_Matrix:
maybe they will remove the 10 charge? LoL

[EVO 4G General] garringm:
WTF, where did the AT&T&TMO and Sprint come from, have you heard something I haven't heard, That would really suck getting sucked back into ATT tierd data plan they had pushed on me before I left
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
I for one, don't have much hope for anything useful. i've been going back and forth with sprint (phone, twitter, email, however i can get them to answer me) about my consistent lack of data. They never have anything helpful to say. To be honest, i'm about burned out on Sprint and their "announcements". Like the others said, that Kyocera Echo was like spitting in the face of your users. Utterly disappointing.

Seriously, short of an announcement that the wimax would actually work and that data would be useable, i don't care.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Its been established (about six months ago) that your data issues are due to the towers being overloaded with more users than ever before.

The announcement is likely that Sprint will be moving to LTE and details about that move.
[EVO 4G General] Fertilizer:
this sucks, the 10 dollars a month i spend for 4g goes to waste x2, ive only been on 4g twice and it never came to my city. Bummer now that they change it the OG evo wont be able to use the new LTE. THey better take off that 10 dollar a month BS for older phones
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I'm sorry but I have to do this...

The $10 a month charge is

NOT

for "4g".

(How many times does that have to be said on these forums?)

I suggest that people actually

read

contracts before signing them.

Also, you have a problem with Sprint taking the money and advancing their network?

Damned if they do, damned if they don't huh?

This isn't the "whine about $10 a month charge" thread, it's discussing this news.

Feel free to make your own thread for that.

People wanna whine about $10 / month to keep data unlimited? Lets talk about the ridiculous tiered pricing by Verizon.

Why can't people compare things fairly?
[EVO 4G General] bweisholtz:
hooray. 4g expansion while my 3g becomes less and less usable every day.

250kbps down in manhattan. they have no interest in fixing it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
And you base that on what exactly?

This news seems to prove they are actively working on their network situation.
[EVO 4G General] bweisholtz:
i base that on the fact that this is an announcement about 4g, not 3g.

also based off the fact that they've been telling me that they are fixing it for....ummm...as long as i've had sprint.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
"4g" is moving to the new standard. Just like "3g" replaced EDGE/1x a few years back.

Also, this issue has existed since January.

I know that uneducated people seem to think that redoing a network is a simple flick of the wrist, but it's not.

Here's a perfect example. Verizon started working on LTE in 2008.

Sprint's network issues have to do with the network needing a complete overhaul.

If you don't like it you're welcome to switch.
[EVO 4G General] bweisholtz:
i understand this.

but you also have to realize that until 4G is fully deployed AND usable (ie. doesn't drain your battery in an hour), a vast majority of the users are going to continue to use 3G 99% of the time.

they can talk up 4g all they want but, in my PERSONAL opinion, it is still not ready for primetime. Therefor, I am personally more interested in them investing in their existing infrastructure...rather than abandoning it and moving on to a new one. So it's a bit aggravating to a person like me who has been waiting a bit to long to be able to downlaod a website on his phone in under 2 minutes.

As far as leaving, I understand all networks have their issues. I'm always weighing my options. Sprint still has plenty of advantages. I'm just moving the discourse along. Not giving some kind of bottom line ultimatum.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I just hope this lightsquared **** isnt on as ****ty of a frequency as clear is. If so its a fail before it even starts. Only thing that would interest me in the least bit would be them saying they're flipping the switch on Iden and starting 4g on the 800mhz...NOW. Not 3-5 years from now since it doesnt seem like they care much about fixing their 3G backhaul.
[EVO 4G General] DroidMax:
While you raise some valid points, inasmuch as the Sprint data plan works out great, and that the ten bucks goes to this, the ten or so Sprint Store sales reps/Managers I spoke to at different locations, while I was deciding to plunk my hard-earned cash for my Evo, seemed ready to call me an idiot anytime I asked if the fee was going towards 4G or not; They seemed ready to swear on their mother's graves that this was so! Suddenly, used car salesmen seem like Cub Scouts!...
[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:
I for one thank you for your $10/month contribution. I have had 4G for a year now in both of the cities that I work in. I tether my laptop to my EVO on 4G and all is good! Check out the signature for some speed updates.

Without you, none of this would be possible!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Lmao
[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:
Well, I don't mean to sound like a ****, I just am sometimes.

I agree that the extra $10 fee sucks if you don't have 4G. I just happen to have it where I need it and it rocks. And if Sprint didn't spread the cost out to everyone with a smartphone it would cost each person who does use 4G something like $5,000/month. So seriously, Thanks!

Back to the thread topic, I think they are going to finish the acquisition of Clear and also announce the LTE deal.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
I know u didn't mean it as a **** was just very funny the way u said it lol
[EVO 4G General] johnnychimpo:
I agree with the LTE but probably the iphone5 as well.

[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
1x advanced is probably going to be mentioned in there as well. The e3d and possibly the photon were just approved by the FCC to use the 800MHz bands.

That should be able to give speeds similar to hspa+ by itself. Provided they have the backhaul of course...
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
I hope it's an LTE announcement, but I think the iPhone is going to come into play here. Sprint as of 09/09/2011 will be raising ETF fees to $350 for Top Tier smartphones. I think this is the day the new Galaxy phone drops. Plus with an iPhone rumored to be coming, I can see ETF's skyrocketing as a safety clause for them.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Idc about the etf I like Sprint so far they have treated me awesome also do hope its info about their network iPhone not so much
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I bet you all carriers are increasing them

Also, if Sprint's network is so poor that it is under the speeds they state for 3g (something like 500 to 700 KB/s) ...they are in violation of the contract which cancels it free of charge.

I swear, some people just come on here to *****.

You don't like it, leave!
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
I ain't *****ing about anything Holmes. I just said with the advent of a higher ETF I can see them prepping for the iPhone influx. I'm staying put.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Sorry that wasn't directly specific to you.

But look at this thread.
[EVO 4G General] raikoujin:
umm anyone realized that that little post really doesn't give any info other than its a strategy meeting
[EVO 4G General] bman3333:
I did realize that. Seeing that slide made me realize how much I hate powerpoint and corporate meetings in general. Lots of busy work to prepare for the meeting / press conference that could be better spent just rolling out the 4g network the company promised 2 years ago! Brilliant idea by CEO - let's make a big event out of finally getting our **** together.
[EVO 4G General] Duke4eva:
Mattykinsx, how do you know so much? Lol
[EVO 4G General] Jayavarman:
Hopefully, a group of cable providers (Cox, Comcast, etc.) are investing in Sprint, which will then use the money to directly buy Clearwire, integrating it into Network Vision.

Since the iPhone 6 will most definitely be an LTE device (assuming iPhone 5 is just a dual CDMA-GSM phone), it will push Sprint (and AT&T) to rapidly deploy LTE coverage by next year.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Great idea
[EVO 4G General] engelsione:
HMMM Good Idea!!! Ill give my stock broker a call monday!
[EVO 4G General] :
I was reading some information and well I thought I would add this in.

Everyone things this will be a LTE announcement or w.e

But I believe they are Acquiring Clear in its entirety for its spectrum. They hold a swatch of spectrum. I bet they would put it to use.
[EVO 4G General] SprintInternal:
Im goin with iphone. Who wants to make a wager? =)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I will.

I base that between the fact that Sprint says its a "4g" announcement and the fact that there's no way Apple would let a carrier out the iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] Black-Dash:
Its funny how a lot of people complain about Sprint's $10 UNLIMITED data charge when other carriers are charging more for 2gbs. lol, its interesting. I was paying a lot more on T-Mobile with unlimited data, I am extremely grateful for my $10 charge as opposed to $25 or $30, which by the way isn't/wasn't on 4G 24/7! My .2
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I was just talking to a Sprint technician about this.

Its the psychology behind it.

"You're charging me $10 extra!?!?"

"Yeah, its still way less than other carriers"

"But its extra!"

"...."
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Totally. I feel a lot of it stems from the earlier '4G fee' talk and those that didn't have 4G were extremely vocal on the matter. When you look at the reasoning, and the competition, it is a more than legitimate 'addition.'
[EVO 4G General] drewskee:
HAHA!!! we all wish that day to come
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
I personally found the Wimax 4G really unreliable when I tried using it. Kept bumping me off of the network and I could almost watch my battery meter empty. Considering I can almost break 1Mbps with MIUI, I'm quite content right now with my speeds. (yes, I know 4G is a lot faster, but if it means being tied to my charger then it isn't worth it IMHO)
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
Okay, here you are personally attacking someone and you tell me I have no right to talk about anyone. YOU FOLLOWED ME THREAD THROUGH THREAD WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK ME. This proves my point that I made in the apple fanboy thread. You are seriously pathetic and you travel the forums looking for the same 3-4 people that supposedly attack you. You are not as smart as you make yourself out to be and you are not a rent a mod. So stop trying to be. Granted I didn't realize how old that thread was before I posted,but I'm not the first person to make that mistake. I was just trying to back up all the evo users, including your moronic ass.

<delete, no longer going to reply to this kind of stuff, just feeds it>
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I see that things haven't changed and Matty still uses his opinions as facts.

Anyway, forget LTE/WiMax. Realistically I want to hear about an immediate deployment of Network Vision - right now they are only planning a handful of markets. So getting the network back to an average of 1-1.5 Mbps is a start. Ideally I'd want to see them upgrade to a next generation EVDO standard like rev B. Get the average transfer rate to 2-3 Mbps and I'll keep WiMax/LTE off until they can get the coverage up and more importantly make the devices more battery efficient.

Right now AT&T looks like they are in a good position to romp on the competition. A dual HSPA+/LTE device with a grandfathered unlimited plan like I have looks incredibly good right now.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
First off, this is an opinion based thread.

Second off, what are you even talking about?

Show me where I am "using my opinions as facts".
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I just read the first three pages and saw this stupid remark:

You tell someone to read their contract because they think that the $10 is a 4G fee, yet you go back to say that it's to keep data unlimited? How about you follow your own advice, read the contract and then point out where exactly it says that the $10 fee is a unlimited data fee.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Previous to the $10 fee the 3g data was limited at 5GB.

After the $10, which applies to all smartphones

even if they are not wimax equipped

, it is unlimited on both 3g and 4g.

Also, proof?

Okay... since you seem to think that every post I make should be backed up with links:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/sprint-brings-premium-data-charge-to-all-smartphones/554

Nice troll attempt though.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Previously we still had unlimited data. I don't know where the hell you got the 5GB cap from.

Secondly it says that NOWHERE in the contract.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
The 5GB limit was for broadband cards. Never mind.

Did I say it did?

No, I said read your contract because it doesn't state anything about it being related to "4g".

Because it's not.

The end.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachinaik:
Hi all,

Yesterday night, I woke up and observed that my galaxy s2 is making continuous beeps. These beeps are exactly same as battery full notification sound but in low volume.

Battery life was 49% at 10PM when I connected the charger. It was charging fine. Later I fell asleep and woken by this continuous beeps at 2AM.

Then I had to remove the battery to stop it. When I restarted my phone battery life was 13%!!

Again I put it on charging and morning battery was 100% charged. No issues after that.

Can anyone help me understand why it happened and the reason for continuous beeps ?

When I try to flash the radio in zip format, I get an error stating that my os is to new and that everything after 1.5 will not be able to flash this specific radio.

Newer versions of the stock ROM may not work well or at all with older radios.

You may need to rollback to 2.2 to use the older 2.xx radios. 2.05.00.06.10 came out with the 2.2 froyo rollout. The newer gingersense ROMs probably can't be used with such an old radio.

Why do you need to roll back to 2.05 anyway?

It was an amend error. An old version of Clockwork - as you did - or Amon Ra would be needed to flash it. Next time you flash radios (or anything that gives you that error) you'll either have to find an edify version or downgrade/switch recovery again.

Hi All,

I just decided to try Go Launcher Ex after seeing so many good reviews on it. But as soon as I installed it, I noticed the wallpaper size changed.
