My epic connects to 4g while in a call. I use it daily.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
No it doesn't check carefully when I make a call it disables 3g/4g right as soon as it dials

Just uses radio I believe as soon as I make a call 3g or 4g sign disappears
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
No it doesn't.. I am posting this while talking on the phone using 4g.. lila meant 3g not 4g.. 4g stays connected when making calls.. if yours doesnt , something is wrong with your phone, cuz like the guy said before, I also use it daily for work...
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
I third this! 4g stays on while on a call and can continue to surf the web.

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
well how come all of the sprints phones I tested don't because when o was at the mall and trying to convince him that it did connect while ago none of the 4g phones did bit att did because it buses GSM/CDMA
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Nah bro, at&t is gsm not cdma. Gsm means you can surf and talk at the same time. Though, some lte cdma phones can surf and talk at the same time somehow on 3g, like gsiii, evolte, and thunderbolt.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
You smoke? http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=3590

Specs on the NOTE

LTE 700 / 1700 WCDMA 850 / 1900 / 2100 GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

It runs on 3 modes.

If not I snort coke and my pupils have dilated to far lol
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
:what:
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
And our epic has just CDMA b/c we don't have 2100 jut 850 and 1900.

And our WiMaXX Is 2500
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
I do believe wcdma is different than the cdma sprint or Verizon use. You can't take that galaxy note and get it to work on sprint. The reason the epic can do 4g wimax and talk is because they are two different technologies.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Pretty sure wcdma is their edge or "2g" capabilities. Let's get this straight GSM and CDMA are two different RADIOS. GSM does not have a CDMA radio in combination.

Okay just tested it now it works lol used to it didn't I tested a long time ago and 4g would disappear. not anymore :)
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Well when I asked the att guy he said that it will use the 3g radio to call and use the gsm radio to surf at the same time so basically with them and only them can you surf and call on the web with 3g.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Not true anymore. GS3 can use 3G and talk on the phone at the same time.

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
That's exactly what I just said. Le do you mean it just uses the one radio for both because I think it means its just using both radios so they call simultaneously
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
Lostsoul nothing you have said has made sense. Sprint and Verizon run on CDMA, the new phones have a cdma radio and an LTE radio. ATT, TMobile run on GSM radios and wcdma, not to be confused with a CDMA phone. There are some other variations out there like the Epic and OGEvo and ET4G etc that run on CDMA and Wimax radio. When on 4G the data is running on wimax and yes any Epic on 4g data can surf the web while on a phone call. As most 4g phones can. The new phones rolling out can use actually run data on 3g and be on a cell call as well.

Sent from a phone...
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
but is it on one radio? is it using the same 3g radio to make a call and surf or is it using two?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Seens how there isn't dual 3g radios, it is using one...
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Wcdma is an old gsm technology unrelated to cdma. At&t has never used cdma. I doubt a company would use 2 competing technologies of the same generation at the same time (like sprint is not going to continue with wimax now that lte is available.) It would be confusing for customers, would cost too much, and would not make sense.

I just laughed so hard I spit my coffee out all over it! :good:
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Thank you that was said more clear to be understood.

so basically it uses 3g to surf and 2g to actually call so technically its not using 3g for both calling and surfing.

i guess thats what i was trying to get at

I'm on the lookout for i9300 for a good price. Dumping Sprint and dumping contract plans.
[Epic 4G General] bigdbag:
Since getting my GS3 a couple weeks ago, I can safely say it's miles better than the galaxy nexus, if you were thinking to get that instead. Much faster, screen is nicer, and cm10 is already working close to 100%.

I loved my epic 4g and like that phone, the GS3 is a landmark device of its own.

On a side note, I really, really do not miss the physical keyboard. The thin form factor and excellent keyboards available now make the need for a physical keyboard something that I can live without now, whereas before it was a necessity.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
I still prefer physical I can't type as fast and the touch screen isn't as fast and isn't 100% Accurate. Its like this on a computer would you rather type on the screen or use the keyboard? Lol KB most likely. Typing is more efficient and my fingers feel weird when typing and hurt after a while without physical KB.

OMAP has been the easiest and best for development next to exynos then nvidia then snapdragon
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Dude NVidia is the worst. There's a reason why Linus Torvalds hates it. They use old kernel versions but also make it so the manufacturer can't use newer ones, hence why the GB tegra phones used kernel 2.6.32 and now the ICS ones are stuck on 2.6.39. The HTC One X Snapdragon variant is on kernel 3.0, but Tegra's is on 2.6.39. Also, Tegra requires so many libs and is very hard to port for. It's very hard to port to my tablet (Galaxy Tab 10.1) non-aosp since Tegra has to be deeply implemented. This is why the Sense 4 port constantly thinks we're using Tegra. Support for NVidia chips has to be deeply implemented into the system.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I don't think so. It seems tablets are first to get new processor technology these days. They were first to quad core and it was another several months before that appeared in phones. That tablet is just the reference design. That LG Eclipse is rumored to have an S4 Pro quad core Krait chip. It's coming to Sprint sometime near December supposedly.

unless it has a keyboard but since that is becoming less and less created

i figure rool with a E4GT and well wen lte gets here im not gon be hurting that much to upgrade

als oill still have my og epic and the newer touch so i can sell both and get the newest phone out :good:

I owned both honestly i had the white 1 and i returned it because it wasnt updated to ics yet as of stock

however keyboard phones are better to me period because i needs physical keys no matter how i themed swype or a virtual keyboard

but i just want a newer phone and still give me my same needs suck as speed and 4g

not havin lte in my area is a major loss for me

and umm i still cant see tha epic being better than the touch in specs mayb because of a keyboard thats it

I could never go back to the Epic.

It was a fantastic device, and I learned so much with it.

But I could never ever go back after owning the Nexus.

So be wary. Be wary of walking into a store and playing with a Galaxy S III. Because you may like the change.

I know I did. The speed, the weight, the position of buttons. It's a whole other experience.

[Epic 4G General] RTbar:
Is the screen actually any bigger taking into consideration that part of the screen real estate is for buttons? Remove the pixels for the buttons, and would you essentially have a screen similar sized to the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
S4 MSM8960 isn't a slouch on the processing side. I can live with qhd. I'd prefer a the atrix hd with a keyboard, but the rest of the specs aren't bad. Still would like to know the size of the battery and its removable status. I don't care about its battery optimization skills.
[Epic 4G General] RTbar:
1750 is the battery size and non removable
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
1750 blows... maybe I won't bite after all. If this is truly a "business class" device. A non-removable battery needs to be at the very least 2k if not more. You already make the phone thicker because of the slide and keyboard. Would think there's be more real estate to fit a larger battery and be creative with it since it's not user replaceable.

I at least need someone to make a belt clip holster that can charge it.
[Epic 4G General] RTbar:
Yeah I am pretty pissed, my Epic has an 1800 mh battery running AOKP and the battery life still sucks, I can only expect it to be even worse with a larger screen and lte (or not considering no one even has lte).
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
There's at least one upside to the Photon Q, if this is legit...an unlockable bootloader:

The specs here say it's a 1280x720 screen. Maybe qHD is wrong. Actually don't see the qHD or the 540 res mentioned in the press release or anything official. If it's very similar to the Atrix HD, maybe it's easier to keep as much of the components the same as possible. With the unlocked bootloader the only real drawback it seems is the anemic battery.

I rarely use 4g, and I'm in philly. I always have issues with it. Some apps, I hit enter and 4g starts snoozing. I have to go to engadget and load a page then migrate back to the original app and get it going. It hangs quite a bit. I move 5ft and I lose it, and it's back to 3g. It's just quirky. I had more consistency with t-mob's high speed and comparable speeds as well.

Who cares? Unlocked bootloader shmootloader. Locked down battery and locked down sim are two big glaring issues. The locked down sim is simply atrocious. To dare call it a world phone. Moto calling it "world friendly" is the biggest crock of **** forcing travelers to pay exhorbitant sprint roaming rates. You could pay $3k for a trip to Europe and spend an additional fifth of that easy in cell charges. When all of your other world phones are unlocked or unlockable, including the iphone, it's simply ridiculous. Now you have to carry two phones when you travel, and you lose the convenience and productivity of your keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Unlocked bootloader means a lot actually. It means developers don't have to hack it to be able to flash roms and kernels, which means they can spend the time on the roms and kernels themselves rather than finding an exploit. Some devices don't have fully unlocked bootloaders, which means for the droid 3 for example, they can't flash kernels, which means there's no custom kernels and also it makes sense and other exciting ui ports impossible since they require modifications to the boot.img and if boot.imgs can't be flashed then they are impossible. On other devices such as the photon, unlocking the bootloader thru the hack breaks things such as 4G. If you care at all about flashing ROMs and kernels, then unlockable bootloaders are very important.
