[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
you guys should really look into stuff a bit more, techcrunch covered an article on special sdcard a bit ago. kinda like the NFC radio ones they are working on LTE based ones, you get the card and special software (as such phone compatibility is rather low right now) right now they say that they fully support the galaxy nexus but support will come to other devices "soon"

edit: also lightsquared was an additional lte provider, but they werent the main ones.. sprint has their own lte stuff, plus clearwire's, and they are having samsung sony and another company build out the networks in different areas as well

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
The build out sprint was doing for light squared was strictly for money.....Sprint was already going to be doing lots of work on the towers so they had a deal to build out light squareds system at the same time essentially saving lots of money for light and making Los of money for sprint . It would have paid for the build out in some places for sprint so essentially it's just bandwidth and ten billion bucks sprint is losing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rayprobg:
Sprint still holds majority share in Clear... so since they are expecting to launch LTE soon we will still have LTE... just maybe not when it was expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
that plus lightsquared's LTE is pure genius, if youve got gps signal then youve got lte
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
I dont think Samsung knows what their naming convention is. Entirely possible that is the Galaxy Nexus. All the other S**-L*** phones have been feature phones form what I see.

As far at Sprint's LTE, they have already started rolling it out on the 1900MHz spectrum. I assume that it will only be after end-of-life for WiMax that they will cannibalize the 2.5GHz spectrum that WiMax uses.

But GPS is lazy and doesn't stay confined strictly to its own spectrum, so with Lightquared's LTE using the spectrum next to it, there is interference. Besides, getting Lightquared's LTE indoors would be even harder than getting a GPS lock indoors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Actually I did read about that awhile back. One problem with that how many people are going to want to give up their SD card slot to get something like this if they do actually use their SD cards? My guess is not many.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ludrose:
Why didn't sprint clear and light squared forsee this gps interference problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Lightsquared has been working with the GPS industry since the beginning. The issues were known, but certain GPS backers, such as the Department of Defense, are more concerned about GPS than LTE. Even though Lightsquared made an effort, the GPS backers were still worried about interference. Considering what the DoD uses GPS for, they tend to pull more weight, so Lightquared is losing.

Not a Feature phone and not The Gnex So more Than likely The Et4gs successor and from the single letter difference one can only only guess it's not much of a hardware upgrade other than the possibility of maybe more internal space and most likely lte with sprints move forward to lte I wouldn't see a new wimax device coming out as late as this one most likely will

Thanked for the info, AND the sig.

There are no open/spare connectors for Haddon chips for either device, the way the 3g, wimax, and wifi parts are spaced there would be no room for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
There is a lot of free spectrum at 2.5GHz so no need to wait for wimax eol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wcr84:
I can see that hardware upgrade easily happening for the photon because of its global capability, but I highly doupht the epic would have anything done to it. Besides if the lte rollout is as slow as the 4g rollout half the customer base will be do for an upgrade to those lte phones by time they have it.

@ kingdazy ..... You act like that's never been done before... so you probably think a lot of things are hilarious. Keep laughing. We'll just watch you.... We might start laughing, too.

I'm not pulling anybodies leg or lying to anybody, I don't know any of you and i have better things to do than to start a thread thats complete BS. I was hoping to be the deliverer of good news and get some verification on whether or not i was getting MY leg pulled.

Getting the LTE capable phone sounds like the most likely thing to happen.

I do know that the LTE will be available sometime soon for my area (Dallas), and soon enough before i am eligible for an upgrade. There have been funny things going on like dropped calls, delayed texts, etc. (which i haven't noticed) and the guy at the sprint store is telling me this is because they are working on the towers to get LTE up and running ASAP.

Regardless... I don't give a crap if they upgrade my phone, put new hardware in it, or give me the SPH-L710, or allow me to get an early upgrade.

I just want to use the 4G LTE with my phone.

I can see that one of the people that replied said that adding a chip of some sort for compatibility has happened before, so i'm sure it could happen again.

I don't know much about radio frequencies, nor do i read articles about changes that may or may not happen with a carrier, or anything like that and i suppose this is why i got hustled in to buying this phone.

Bottom line is that i will be paying the same amount on my monthly bill as people with LTE, but receiving half the speed on the data services that I pay for. BUUUULLL SH*T !!

Also... According to the Sprint guy who is giving me this information as it is handed down to him from his corporate meetings or whatever, the 2 most RECENT phones will be supported in some way, shape, form, or fashion as far as getting them to be LTE compatible.

I will keep you guys updated as i figure things out. They are having another meeting on Tuesday concerning this LTE issue and I will be calling him to get more information.

That would be awesome if they didn't open up my phone, mess around with it, and add a chip..... I'd rather just get a brand new one that's LTE capable (FREE, or for very little $$$, of course).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Even though the OP is completely ridiculous, I'll bite-

The Exynos processor in the E4GT is not LTE compatible. This is why the Skyrocket and Note both have Snapdragons. It's not going to happen, ever. I don't know why people keep making stupid threads about it. Yes, this is a stupid thread.

The E4GT is not, and will never be, LTE compatible.

Your logic is undeniable;)

Ok then. I'll accept that. I even thanked you for putting it in to words i could understand. Even though i think only an idiot would assume everyone spends time getting up to date and searching and reading about processors, what they're capable of, or compatible with. Let alone the processor in phones.

But based off what your telling me.... There NO Samsung Epic 4G Touch's that they can swap us out with. What bout the one referred by evilkoncepts the "SPH-L710" ?

And why wouldn't they be able to put in different processor making it compatible? Is this the only processor compatible with this phone? I doubt it.... It can be done. Will they do it? I have no frickin idea.

It has already been determined (according to YOU guys) that this phone CANNOT be upgraded for LTE usage by installing any type of chip or hardware. This is one of the answers i was looking for by starting this thread. Hopefully you guys are wrong.

All I care about is what (if anything) Sprint will do for customers paying the same price but receiving lower quality service than others. I would understand if i hadn't been told this would be compatible at the time of my purchase and i hadn't JUST bought this phone but I was sold this phone through a lie, and i want to know if they will be able to fix it.

I was told, we as customers, would be taken care of by some means or another if you've bought the two most recent phones... But i'll take everything a salesman tells me with a grain of salt.

Anyways. Who cares. Whatever happens, happens. And if ya'll are wrong about them not being able to upgrade it someway or another.... I will be sure to start another thread on how and why you were incorrect. :)

Have a nice day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Sprint charges the data fee regardless of if WiMax is available in your area. If you expect them to do something for you because you bought a device that is not LTE capable, I think you're wasting your time. They offer a 14 day return for all devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes they will do that change the motherboard CPU put lte radio in it ....I want some of the freaking cool aid your drinking....you believe some idiot at sprint over people who know phones .. Ha ha ha I guess sprint will upgrade me for free for the rest of my life .... Yay
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
This is true. I wont argue with you there.

But this doesn't mean i wont try to get a billion dollar company to do a little something extra for me. Especially since i was misinformed and told the phone will be LTE compatible via hardware upgrade. That is the selling point the guy used and he KNEW it was wrong. Either that, or he was given the wrong information by his superiors and SPRINT should take accountability for that and not have me add another $600 in to their pockets to buy another one of there F*****G phones.

The answer i was looking for has been answered. The likely hood of this phone being physically upgraded for LTE is probably not possible.

The question remains as to whether or not Sprint will help people who have RECENTLY bought those 2 phones. They might not advertise it... but if someone has a good enough reason, they may offer me an appeasement of some sort.

The trick is to not get irate, be respectful, and let them know that you feel like you were lied to in order for someone to make a sale. Not set in stone it will work, but i truly believe that they owe me. I could've gotten a phone just as good along with LTE compatibility if I wasn't misinformed. This is a contract. This is an expensive phone. I don't make decisions like these lightly. I went off of what he said, because i believed his stupid a**.

As i said before, i will call him and get more information on Tuesday after he has a meeting with the big wigs concerning all this LTE mess and what they will do for the recent owners of E4GT and Photon.

P.S.

YES... i am complaining about Sprint. It's got me heated that I was insulted and lied to. This has affected my pockets and now i'm stuck in a contract with a company that, so far, I have had nothing but bad experiences with.

So ya'll excuse my over explanation of things and complaining. It's either that... Or off myself, right? LoL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
Quite frankly, your only reading and commenting on the things that you want to.

Sprint uses the processor they are using in the Epic 4G Touch because the one that is put in to the S2's other providers use isn't compatible with something that Sprint has going on, internally. That's why we have a 1.2GHz and the other Galaxy S2's have 1.5GHz. I also know we have one of the most awesome GPUs, as well.

All i'm saying is, if they've added a chip before, it's possible they might actually decide to use Customer Service skills, and make our phones LTE compatible. By whatever means. It's not impossible and your making it seem like it is.

I could give a sh*t if they upgrade my phone.

I want them to compensate me and take responsibility for hiring someone who lied to get me to buy a phone. This is now a customer service issue and your technical advice is no longer needed.

Thank you.

BTW

kool-aid is for monkeys and I don't drink it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
We were given the exynos because it's better and would work for Wimax . The others were given snap dragon because they were compatible with the lte chips ... galaxy3 will be exynos because they fixed the quad core to work with lte ...Samsung works rather use the exynos as they make it and Qualcomm makes snap dragon... You will find out that sprint employees don't know anything about these things. You can call 10 different customer service people and get 10 different answers... Honestly do you think that sprint would give u another phone just because it's lte , no they may give u a early upgrade or something but they won't take the hit that would be replacing a couple million phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Dude, it is IMPOSSIBLE to make our phone LTE compatible. The processor itself (you know, the thing that makes our phones actually work) is not capable AT ALL of working with LTE. I don't know how much simpler I can put it. And our phones have the exact same processor as the international GS2 -you know, the flagship unbranded one- which at 1.2ghz is FAR superior to the 1.5ghz chip that is in the Note and Skyrocket. Just give up already.

And as far you buying a phone after being given misleading information is concerned- caveat emptor. It's your fault for not doing your research. This topic has been discussed here ad nauseum, a simple search would have turned up plenty of information.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moni08ca:
We will see what the future holds for our phone guys. This might be possible this phone is very powerful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mick3444:
Read carefully: This phone will never get lte because of physical hardware limitations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
And I would say that its just as unlikely that they will swap a new LTE device for our current Epic Touch. At best we would probably get whatever the buy back value is at that time. They told me the same thing on launch day but they also told me on launch day of the OG Epic that I would have Froyo within 30 days..lol. That's how I ended up on XDA was waiting months for Flash support that they were lagging on. I think you should not expect anything other than one software update on your phone when you buy it and who knows how much longer it will be until official ICS. If Sprint started swapping new LTE devices for used Epic Touch devices, they would be so far in the negative it wouldn't even be funny. We all got a great phone that happened to release during a transition period.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm not arguing with you, I'm just curious: Isn't LTE reception a function of the radio hardware and software drivers? Why would it matter what CPU is running the drivers, as long as the radio can physically accept the LTE signal?

Isn't saying Snapdragon = LTE and Exynos = WiMax analogous to saying Intel = Cable Broadband and AMD = DSL?

Again, just curious!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JG96EVO:
My 2 cents lol

Well.. I work at sprint and we had a "conference" if u will about wimax/LTE and the processors have nuthin to do with being wimax or lte compatible with our phones its the radios and from what we were told and WITNESSED <---think about it.. um the radio has a RF signal that is for wimax but again.. from what we were told and WITNESSED<--- think about it again.. lol the RF signal in the radio can be reprogrammed in order to be compatible with LTE with a software update.. so is it possible? yes very possible.. but honestly it doesnt really matter to me because the ET4G is an awesome phone but no1 plans on keeping these phones for ever so whatever happens happens, im cool with it.. I would love for sprint to get the note anyhow because thats what i really want lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fadimo305:
Nothing is impossible and like you said isnt kind of mysterious how a Freaking CPU has to do with a separate radio ?? I think LTE not being compatible is just BULL**** to get a customer to buy a new phone . Dont believe everything you read even if albert einstein wrote it.unless you have proof (you actually put an LTE Radio) you cannot say it is impossible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
I'm no fool. It's not my fault for "Not doing my research", its my fault for believing somebody that i figured knew what the f*ck he was talking about. In my defense, I did do my research soon after as i got suspicious.

I threw a couple of technical terms out there, and he used that as ammunition to help make me buy a phone.

And to be honest, I don't care if this phone will be able to be upgraded to LTE by adding parts. I've said earlier that its probably out the question.

But at the same time, who's given you the information on these processor and why they've been used? How reliable are your resources? Where's the links? Where's the proof?

Do you think Samsung is going to offer you the privilege to know EVERYTHING in detail that they can or cannot do? IMMEDIATLEY, at that? No, sir. This is not how corporations work.

The Sprint Representative i'm dealing with is upfront with me and I cannot see one lie in his face when he gives me this information. I haven't lived a "Sheltered" life and know a liar when i see one.

He tells me that Samsung (The creator of our phone) gave them the following information during a meeting (not in exact words, of course) :

Motorola has stated that since the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch is not only new, but will continue to be there best sellers for months to come and it will continue to receive additional support. This is because they (the Sprint store) were told nothing new is in the works to be released anytime soon. I think for at least another six months if i'm not mistaken.

Whether all this is just a sh*t load of misinformation or it means we will end up taking these phones in to the shop or simply swapping them out for another already upgraded version.

Anywayz,

The main purpose of me starting this thread is to let you know what we will be able to do with our phones once LTE reaches ya'lls areas so ya'll aint gotta do the leg work:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
It's a little more complicated than that because these chips are more than just the CPU, they are SOCs (system on a chip) and they handle many different subsystems for our phones. Look at this diagram of the E4GT's SOC, the Exynos 4210, and it might give you a better understanding. You'll see the the SOC itself handles among many other things, the modem, so if it is not designed to work with an LTE modem, well then it's just not going to work with an LTE modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
I know a guy who knows a guy that works in the development department @ sprint, it's super secret stuff they can't tell anyone about but samsung has been secrectly deploying a secret 5G network over the planet, they've been developing the new E5GS (epic 5g slide) with a 5 core spu (samsung's new version of a cpu/gpu sort of like an apu). The best part is it will be out by christmas to battle the iPhone 5 later this year! I can't wait

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Right. You know more about the chips then the manufacturers themselves. You are either a blatant liar, or completely misinterpreted whatever it was that you claim to have witnessed.

[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
It's a confusing script to someone like me who doesn't know about the inner workings of a phone, but the creator of the script is right, it really does completely turn your phone's memory around. I use 1000hp (one of the options in the script) and I always have 400-450 mb RAM used, up to 500 mb used if I have a LOT of apps running at once. Without the script running, but on the same ROM, I'm always using a minimum of 550 mb RAM, and it'll get up to almost 700 mb used before the phone will start trying to free some RAM up. InfectedROM Eternity 3.0 has the script built into it now so if you don't want to have to manually install the script, you can go flash that ROM. If you would rather manually install the script on top of whatever ROM you're currently running, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192724&highlight=supercharger and that's about all the help I can give you, I've never attempted to manually add the script to a ROM

So does the script make things faster or what? Because I don't get why many devs don't put it in the rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Yes it makes the phone a lot faster because if there's not enough free RAM, your phone will start to lag. I don't know why more devs don't include it in their ROMs, Virus started including it only about 2 weeks ago I believe
