[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
I think I've been hoping for SVDO just as long as I've been hoping for EVDO-Rev B. And this was pre-EVO. :p

That's one down, the other may never happen, which is ok.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sim-X:
This would be an awesome feature, not that I would use it all the time but have at least wanted it for years.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnM:
Finally! Now I can actually talk on bluetooth while using my phone at the same time. Before I had to use that ****ty company issued T-Mobile MiFi...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
This may sounds really ignorant, but why would this be beneficial? I've never yearned for this feature, and now I can't think of a time I'd need it honestly. Examples? :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnM:
If you're in an hour long call while on a bus/car/train or whatever, and you're using a bluetooth headset or earpiece, this is VERY useful. I travel a lot so I find myself in this situation a lot.

And it's good for pretty much just about any bluetooth situation. If you're talking and want to use the internet on your phone, you're ****ed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I guess I don't find myself in many hour long calls, which is why I didn't think of this. Thank you though!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnM:
Yeah, they don't have to be that long, it's just if you're trying to have a convo on the phone and want to use 3G, it's good.

I guess it doesn't appeal to that many people, but it's still a great feature to have nonetheless ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Hey, I'm all for extra features! Some things I may never have used (due to an inability to do so) may now begin to be used by me since I'll have the ability.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnM:
Same thing happened to me with AOSP --> Sense ROMs. When I first got my Evo 3D, I loaded an AOSP ROM and 4G was broken. I never really knew much about 4G since I never (literally never) used it before. After switching back to Sense with working 4G and trying it out, although spotty, now I can't live without it :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KERKEDAGAIN:
I have always wanted it cuz I sometimes like download roms or updates on the go.. without svdo a phone call would interrupt the download.. Hopefully those days are gone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
That's true, i always use ddtm mode during downloads on ogevo.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nolimitzr2:
Not true towers didn't get upgraded for it. It's the seperaye radios in the bolt, rezound, pantech breakout.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thesabri:
Ok so I'm a bit confused. Reading this my understanding is that this phone allows talk and net at the same time but in order to usr it sprint has to upgrade 3g towers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
Well between my youngest sister, my girlfriend and myself we love sending pictures of funny things to each other. On several occasions I have seen something funny while talking on the phone to either of them, take a pic, but will have to hang up to send the pic then call them back. With 3g and voice I won't have to get off the phone to send the pic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jaytronics:
That is why the TB is hard pressed to get great battery life. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the battery life of the TB being able to email, talk and drive all while eating a grinder at the same time has served me very well. J/K on the driving part. Well, while texting at least. Any way, having two separate radios in the phone has served me well. Though I must ask. Isn't it the LTE radio that is separate from the rest of them? Making the talking and data while in only a 3G area done on technically one radio? All I know is at the first chance I get I am going to purchase a Rezound.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see if voice and data work together over 3G or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
i can confirm that this works out of the box :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdub4nd:
When I was with my previous carrier (who shall remain nameless) I used voice and data simultaneously all the time. Girlfriend on the phone and need to check movie times or dinner reservations....conversation disputes answered via Google..not getting downloads interrupted by a call...there are really a multitude of reasons to use when you have the ability. Can't wait to see if it really works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tricknasty:
To my understanding in order to use SVDO the towers need to be newly upgraded, possibly from the network vision upgrades.

Either way this is exciting news!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Naa its a phone feature. All you need is a compatible phone(LG Viper or EVO LTE).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fceeviper:
Has this been confirmed? If so that would be awesome!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
from the data sheet for e4glte

•	Voice and Data: Simultaneous voice and data capability in 4G LTE and Wi-Fi coverage areas, enabling Web surfing and more while the conversation continues.

so...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
....look at this...

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-159-htc-evo-4g-lte-tech-details-revealed-in-fcc-oet-filing/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
doesnt really say a whole lot... also this from user manual

Can I make calls and use data services at the same time? Depending on the current configuration of your phone, you may be able to make calls and use data services at the same time.

With DDTM mode off (default, configured in [Settings] > Call):

 If you are using the Sprint 3G Network when a voice call comes in, data transmission is suspended and will automatically resume when you complete your voice call.

 If you are on a voice call, you will not be able to establish connection with the Sprint 3G Network.

With DDTM on (configured in [Settings] > Call):

 You cannot use voice and data services simultaneously. If you receive a call while data service is active, your phone will forward the call to voicemail. You can place an outgoing call at any time, but it will interrupt any in-progress data session. Your phone will not automatically resume an interrupted data session

I'm not saying that it wont...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
...BIG difference what you are talking about here and SVDO...Take a min and read the FCC filing and you'll see they tested fine simultaneous voice and data working together at the same time...something that to my knowledge was NOT on any previous FCC filing for any of Sprints devices so this is new here...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
I understand that... hence the so... in my previous post and the im not saying it wont.. I know that they don't include everything in the books but I am having trouble finding a source saying that this will come to light. dont mind me... just posting the obvious
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
So you didn't read the FCC findings in the link I posted? Its in there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Trouble?.....If you just did what I suggested in my post you would have your answer there plain as day...go read the FCC doc.

Maybe this will help...Just did ALL the work for you since you chose to be lazy about it. no excuse now for not seeing it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
U alright man you seem a little on edge today
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
haha na im great bud. :D

people being gifted the clear as day answer to something then responding back saying they are "having trouble finding source..." just never sits well. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Whosdaman:
It can only support it once 1x Advanced is turned on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Lol alright man n yeah I understand
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
so excuse me ... i did say " a " when i mean to say a source to support this one doc... is there any other information to go along withthis?.. as i said dont mind me.... drinkin and forums dont mix

*edit* thanks for popping that pic up there .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sebrina:
Sorry but neither does a "know it all" moderator calling people "gifted" when they can't even compose a proper sentence. I have no interest in either party, I just hate how much quality control has gone down the tube over the years as far as "wannabe" moderators go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skw5115:
I don't think he called him gifted I'm pretty sure he's saying that he was gifted a source like he gave him a source and posted the link.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yes that is what he ment apparently other people need reading comprehension to go with the composing of a proper sentence skills lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
guys, I HAVE the phone. it works out of the box in a non network vision area
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NewZJ:
i am comforted by this. can you post a screenshot for the skeptics?

showing you are on a call while doing a speedtest?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Screenshot would be easy to fake...need to do a vid for proof...make call, then open up speed test and run it...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NewZJ:
kellybrf has stated possession of the device and no tendency of trolling or being unscrupulous.

seeing a screenshot with the call icon and data icon in the status bar should be enough for anybody
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Video will be 10000x better though and couldn't be speculated on either as opposed to a ss
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NewZJ:
i agree.

not everybody has the faculty to produce a video of that, a ss is much simpler and faster.

i grant the benefit of doubt to kellybrf and already am satisfied with the reported confirmation
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
How did you get it :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Could you post a video please? Word of mouth isn't worth much around here sometimes. Even though I believe it works.

I want this phone bad....

Even better we can do a hangout of google+ if your able.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
A picture is good enough for me. I've seen it work on the LG Viper and kellybrf is a decent and reputable guy, at least to me. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Whosdaman:
I had the phone and it worked everywhere. I already sent it back
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
BEST OF ALL.... :D

Finally a bit if news on our soon to be new phone that is actually news at all. I had to un subscribe from some (well, yeah, all) of the shipping/preorder/wf threads. :)

Thanks for posting this Freeza
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
ehhh....no so sure about that one there...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Whosdaman:
Thats 100% guaranteed. If it isn't already available it will be when 1x Advanced is enabled
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Now how about hooking us up with that Eng bootloader? :D

I kid, I kid..... (*but I am a little serious though)

Thanks for confirming man. From what I have been told, the "feature" wasn't really widely tested and for users in sub par 3G areas, it won't work well or at all. I had someone with a Viper that I know was in a horrible 3G area try, with no success. I'll have her try again later this weekend when she's in better coverage.

<< I too, have been a victim of Apple patent #5,946,647 >>
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Your going to have to show some proof for this because that's not what the FCC docs showed...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Where are you located at exactly? Jw bc ill check against what towers have been worked on exactly during the roll out...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
network vision hasn't started here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bloodrain954:
Time to prank call that number
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Looking at the area code of the phone you were talking with you are in the same state as me, or atleast the phone you were calling is...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Well if hes in/around or near Atlanta then.....hes in a city that has NetworkVision towers up and running there....Atlanta out to Griffin, Newnan, Cedartown, Rome, Dahlonega...to get an idea...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
call was made with google voice, it was actually to an 800 number
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Just realized Korey you back tracked here in this thread.....way to cover both outcomes to be sure. lol :p

First you say it only can do it with 1x advanced turned on(which later I'll provide more evidence thats wrong)

And then you say this in response to my question, "are you sure about that?":

For everyone else its confirmed that SVDO is fully functional in Sprints Legacy CDMA1x-1900 + EVDO 1900 network.

Brian Klung from AnandTech re-confirmed this to WiWavelength over at S4GRU.com and guess what.........he provided a nice little video showing such! :D

btw he's in the Tuscon market and it has NO NetworkVision upgrades so no 1x-Advanced in the area there...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
So basically, kellybrf was right all along. knew it!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
YUP YUP!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
well, technically you were right all along...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Lol, you were both right. And most importantly, we all get to take advantage of this awesome new feature/function!!!

I checked out Sprints May 2012 LTE tower locations, and then the area those towers will cover. It made me VERY happyand excited to see LTE not only covering my entire city but all of the bordering cities as well...and then some!! The LTE coverage maps are soooo much prettier than the Wimax maps!! Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
It is very beneficial to some and not so much to others. At&t made it a selling point with commercials for a long time.. "talk and browse the web at the same time!"

I will likely never really use it, but it doesn't mean I don't care about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Whosdaman:
That is news to me but very good news. Originally we were told it would only be available on the new 1x Advanced. I'm surprised sprint didn't announce this more widely
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
I asked my buddy who works on campus (Overland Park) why they aren't pushing this and he told me that the SVDO capabilities were not "widely" tested. Reason being, the other features if the device make SVDO pale in comparison. He mentioned that people in weak 3G coverage wouldn't have a great experience.

So while we all "should" be able to take advantage of the hardware, we all may not be able to (ir it will be half assed).

I have to say, being able to use SVDO capabilities is huge for us non-4G (ie. We never got our wimax) or late LTE users

So reading between the lines, I'd say rather than Sprint making promises the hardware + network can't keep (obviously only in the 3G markets until NV really starts rolling), this is an "extra feature" we'll get with no promise or expectations of service.

Oh well, who cares, like I said earlier.....

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

<<I too, am a victim of Apple patent #5,946,647>>
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
this makes sense here b/c your using more bandwidth overall in the task of both items so if your in a backhaul troubled area thats over capacity then you likely will not have a great experience with it...in the end everyone will have amazing things to be happy about once NV is rolled out overall!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] popular nobody:
SVDO were widely tested for the last 2 years with both CDMA carriers and Qualcomm, before it was official. The problem is not only is the parts expensive per unit, earlier chips were a ***** to battery life, something that Qualcomm later improved. The original plan was to implement it once the Network Vision launch were greenlighted. Also, Sprint weren't going to rely on this feature, but towards SVLTE and VOLTE. The chipsets will be capable, but not supported. I was actually surprised to see it supported with Sprint, but it still doesn't mean you're going to see it on every LTE device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
They did not test, widely, the SVDO capabilities of the device, in the wild, not the technology. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
He has awaken from his long dark sleep!!! :eek::D:D

good to see ya in here. even if only for a short blurb here and there!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Whosdaman:
The lg viper has this support as well in non network vision areas. It was the first device with this support
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
This one of the first things I tested... Works great... random Google searching while on test call
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DioTGT:
Yes, this works flawlessly. It's just a little slow but it may be because i have limited service where I am located at the moment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RuckusDecay:
Alright now I could set dinner reservations while talking to the lady lol:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhreakAccident:
I agree. I was using my old HTC Hero and was able to do voice and 3G data at the same time. I was disappointed when the Evo 4G didn't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aznmode:
Let me get this straight. You have the EVO LTE and when you're on 3g only, while on a call you can surf the web?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aznmode:
Thank you. Thats great. I was going to wait for the S3 but I may try this phone out. This was one reason I was hesitant to get it since I thought only when we get LTE is when I can do simultaneous voice and data. Wasnt sure if s3 does this also but I figured by the time that came out I may have LTE already.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown_owner:
SVD (Simultaneous Voice and Data) is not guaranteed by Sprint. see details in the provided link.

http://insidesprintnow.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/svd-simultaneous-voice-data-on-lte-phones/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
I know ckoadiyn answered but... Yes 3g only... called my wife's ( why the hell are you calling me I'm sitting right here) brought up the browser and searched google for waffles and monkeys... I dont use wifi and LTE isnt on yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Waffles and Monkeys, I can understand but "don't use wifi":confused: :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bacidath:
not while at the house.... I have my laptop for that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hazakins:
I live in BFE Cedar City Utah and Just tested this on our poor 3g network and it works!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
[OFF-TOPIC]Just a friendly tip (some people get all defensive when suggestions are made, please don't take it the wrong way.), you should be able to extend your battery life by a third, if not more, by using your wifi AND any wifi when you can, on your phone. Wifi radio is much less power hungry than connecting to the network. This was known before throughout the "tech" population BUT Sprint actually proactively sent out communications speaking to this. (*Granted, it was a helpful hint to those that didn't know and also a way to unload congestion on the data network so seems like a Win Win unless you are of the mindset that "I'm paying for Sprint service so why use my wifi".)[/OFF-TOPIC]

I sure am looking forward to FINALLY getting my phone, one day. :o
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I too can confirm it works out of the box. Yesterday I was on the phone talking to a AAA agent from my grandfather's gravesite and was able to turn my 3G and GPS on to lock in my location so I could tell him EXACTLY where I was. The call would automatically disconnect on my OG EVO if I turned on 3G while on the phone. This is a great feature to have when you are somewhere and have no clue what city you are in as I was. I also was on the phone with my Mom a day earlier and was able to go online and check out some news stories she was telling me about. This has put this phone above and beyond as my favorite phone ever.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Runnin_IT:
This made me laugh...:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
If you had the hero on Sprint then you couldn't have used 3G and voice at the same time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] enyce9:
I can also confirm that this works:) 3g only
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benthe1:
Count me in as someone who can confirm this. I didn't think it was possible with CDMA (without having two CDMA radios like the TB). Maybe this phone will surprise is even more when Sprint starts rolling out it's 800mhz LTE network and work on that as well. Maybe we'll even see this work in GSM frequencies. Lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
It works for me and I'm only on evdo rev a around here not the new evdo-eHRPD.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mustang46L:
I'm glad to see a Sprint phone supporting this again. It has been long overdue!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aimbdd:
The air rave can do this too!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
What's the point of using data through an airave if you can just use wifi..... I mean most of the time if you have an airave you have a capable home network that has wifi....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shellguy:
Unless maybe it at work and connected there but that ie just an idea.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah that could be true also...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Androidfreakz:
Wait you all cant talk and surf at the same time? I can.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Ummm we can...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DPMAce:
With so many horror stories being posted, I don't know what to believe. When will it be relatively safe for us to update to ics?

I came from an HD2, and that was a treasure for flashing different roms. But it seems like the note is so easy to brick.

Edit: All I've done so far is root my note using Dr. Ketan's method.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijsvr:
It's mainly horror stories. Dozens, if not more already flashed to ICS without any problems. Of course there is occasionaly someone with bad luck, but that is also on the OTA updates. Every now and again something goes wrong, but it's a small chance and usually you are still able to fix it afterwards.

So just stick closely to the manual, don't cut corners and you'll probably be okay.

Otherwise, just wait for the OTAs. That's what I'm doing, but that is mainly because I'm a little lazy. However when I got the ICS kernel I'll put vanilla ICS over it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fazettit:
I've flashed dozends of ROMs on my old HTC desire including ICS. At the end it worked always fine.

1. Backup

2. Wait after flashing - some roms need their time. After 10 min I've sometimes put out the battery to restart...

3. Enjoy

So don't fear!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
I'm waiting for ICS OTA also. There have been lots of mixed reports with the previously leaked ICS ROMS - some bricked and some not. I've had a great run with flashing GB ROMs and Kernels but will wait for more official versions.

BTW - A colleague has a Note about four weeks old bought via the web. It turned out to be a German handset and he was successfully able to flash via KIES. I'm jealous - my Note 6 months old and I am still waiting for official ICS :( !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nandihno:
If you dont have any crazy combination of rom with custom kernel and cwm then is fine

Just dont wipe before flashing

And wipe after flashing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
The fact that we have had ANY bricks at all suggests to me that this is not safe to flash, and even though I have been able to successfully flash LPY and run it, (not without problems), the bit that concerns me is the bricking due to large file copying which has been mentioned by various people.

Since I regularly copy large files to and from the device, I do not plan to subject my device to testing the theory.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozyk100:
I flashed ics yesterday and everything went fine, Iam always paranoid when comes to flashing but research before actual flash is vital! SEARCH button overheats and Iam ALWAYS following instructions!

Dont know what would I do without xda and those so capaple devs!

Galaxy Note!!!
