[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
yea i know that but the ones that u've seen on every website and videos r not the OFFICIAL EVO i think cuz they didnt even announced the official date but if its CDMA im out of luck and wish for a GSM version of the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] michd43:
It's 100% CDMA w/no SIM slot. So I guess your out of luck :p
[EVO 4G General] abrigham:
The big thing about the EVO 4G is the fact that it's a CDMA/Wi-Max. If it had a SIM slot, and you put it on a GSM network like T-Mobile, you wouldn't be able to connect to Sprint's 4G network and lose the one big advantage of this phone. Sure it's got 720p HDMI output and 8MP camera, but other than that and Wi-Max, it's got very similar specs to the HD2.

The other reason could be the fact that they wanted it to run Android, and I have yet to see any CDMA/GSM World Phones running Android natively so they may not have worked out the whole dual mode switching in Android - but I could be wrong about that one.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
well.......i guess i have to be patient for something better by HTC on GSM carrier network with ANDROID 2.1.honestly i bought the HD2 and i've flashed custom ROM but still not satisfied at all with WM.i would get me NEXUS ONE but then again better phone will come out by HTC every 3-4 months.as far as 4G its not necessary for me at all.i will patiently wait till end of summer for the better.thanks guys
[EVO 4G General] Blackman778g:

[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
Dude....Let Sprint and everyone that is on Sprint enjoy the fact that SPRINT will have one (if not the best) of the best phones ever made for a little while until another one comes out. Tmo has the HD2...now is Sprints turn, chill out!

You got HSPA+? Good for you....we'll have 4G! Is that simple.
[EVO 4G General] Blackman778g:
Alright I'll settle for that... just trying to make sure people don't fall for the marketing gimmick. I had every carrier and been a loyal customer to them all.... Some people will switch just for a single phone even if they don't have reception in their area. Make a smart move it'll last two full years.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
So when is this mythical HSPDA+ coming out? WiMax has already been out for over a year where I live, and I've not heard of a single person with WiMax-like speeds on any other carrier. T-Mobile is typically last to the game in that regard, but either way, you guys already have the HD2, which I'd rather have anyways.
[EVO 4G General] march7th:
WiMax is not certified 4G and will never be. I'm really shocked that Sprint hasn't been called out on this and hasn't had their false adverts of a "4G" network pulled.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
why would it have to be "certified 4G?" also, from what I've read from the beginning, is that WiMax and LTE are SO SIMILAR, that it wouldn't cost much for Clear/Sprint to fully convert. The even planned on having a combination of the two services.

methinks you doth protest too much.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
wimax and lte use different freqs, converting would not only change the protocol(like software) but the antennas, transponders, receivers and transmitters (hardware)

then all the phones themselves would need new radios (hardware + software) It would be a huge mess, I highly doubt they will convert the technology, hope they just adopt LTE with Wimax and your phone supports both someday. As they already have chipsets that support both technologies at the same time with multiple radios and transceivers. But my money is the conversion of technology will not happen, it will just be integrated into the phones instead of the towers.

Now the wimax/4g thing, wimax has been branded 4g, 4g is a general term...(yes I know it's a stardard and has minimum req's) but the term works for it's purpose; recognition more than a actual "standard". evdo started getting called 3g when the 3g term got popular and was a "feature" and was easier to remember no actual feature was added for them to call it 3g.

The point is the idea gets across, as it is agreed they both generally mean the same thing, you know what it means, they know what it means, and making that kinda correction makes people sound like asses. Much like spelling correctors.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
BAM! I knew I read that before.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
not everything on you read on the internet is true, but facts are facts.. look

Wimax operates on 2.5Ghz

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX#Spectrum_allocation

LTE operates on 700Mhz

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP_Long_Term_Evolution#Frequency_bands_and_channel_bandwidths

the two operate on two extremely different frequencies, you can't magically change a phone that is built to operate on one freq to start using one that differently. It's just not physically capable of doing it. No amount of software is going to change that.

That article was written in september 09' sprint has moved forward with wimax, they have made their decision, once they put equipment out in customers hands, they will have to cut some customers off by making drastic changes at this point in the game. To jump back at this point would be insanity. The infrastructure is already being built, and in some cases already built.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Why is that? Radios can transmit on all sorts of frequencies... you have no idea how they designed their antennae or transmitters. If Clear says, themselves, that the technology is 80% identical, then it's fairly believable. I've been hearing that for years, anyhow.

Hell, just look at AT&T, they have 3G on all sorts of bands, and that didn't stop them people from using them. This argument is pointless. Clear could have hybrid modems in store, or possibly their devices can already use the spectrum to reference. All I'm saying is Sprint/Clear aren't really committing false-advertising. Comparing some mythical unicorn that T-Mobile *might* have in a few markets sometime soon, to WiMax, which has been out for quite some time, doesn't make much sense.

For now, it's 4G... the fastest, and I believe they have the right to call it that. It's Sprint's fourth-generation network. For years, the carriers bounced back and forth as to who had the fastest network, and you didn't see anyone renaming their from 3G.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
I have no idea how they designed their transmitter? This is more or less true, I don't know the exact specifics of their radios, but I have a really really good idea. I used to fix radios for the army... I have an good general knowledge of radio technology.

I don't have the exact links but I've posted some to chipset makers in this forum. One is for the evo's chipset, and one for for a future phone's chipset. The future one has radios *note plural* built in that are capable of broadcasting on both the 700 and 2.5 frequencies. The EVO's is not capable of the 700mhz only the 2.5ghz (among others 800 & 1900 but not 700)

The reason you can tune civilian band and police radios to multiple frequencies is because of transistors. But you're talking a very small spectrum. A common span is like 1-50Mhz difference. The Bigger the gap the bigger and more elaborate the electronic circuitry is required. Having to tune amplifiers as well as antennas. I'm not going to give a lesson on radio broadcast technology cause, well I'm just not.

For antennas they have to be cut to exact length based off their wavelength to preform optimally. As the frequency increases the length gets shorter but the principal is still there. It has to be more or less exact, the more you deviate the less clear the signal will be with the higher freqs the more exact it needs to be. Fudging a difference that big will not work for a clear and precise digital signal.

SO... while a cell phone radio might change it's freqs slightly depending on open channels, the range is fairly close, a radio that operates on 700mhz might go as high or low as 725 for example but it will not, and I repeat will NOT do a 1800Mhz difference. Hopefully that sheds some light on this subject.

I can't go into how their backend protocol is worked, because I honestly haven't ever messed with it and would only be speculation on my part. So it might be correct, the software might be easily interchangeable, but the hardware is not, and clear/wimax even stated so in that article. They said they had equipment capable of both or options or something. But a change is needed for sure. The evo is sprint's flagship wimax phone, and it is not capable of the freqs lte currently uses.... end of story.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Just like a single phone can work with all AT&T voice and data bands, and sometimes even T-Mobile as well, I'm sure phones down the road for Sprint can adapt, if they choose to adopt that medium...
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
no doubt future ones might and probably will support both. The problem is existent equipment and soon to be mainstream equipment.

You think they are going to cut support for something that's not even fully out the door yet? I know people that still have the same phones from 6-7 years ago.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Then perhaps they will just stick with WiMax all the way... hard to say. It's also not too uncommon for certain technologies to be replaced, requiring upgrades... a la DTV roll-out. Either way, WiMax is here, now, and LTE isn't. So that's working in Sprint's favor. Pretty sick to see real-world 10mbps speeds over cellular.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Wimax is here... NOW... LTE may be about 2 years until it's the same exposure.

That gives me 4G through the life of my contract 2 years earlier.

Even if Clear can convert their towers to LTE, that doesn't mean the EVO will be able to pick them up. The iPhone can't pick up T-Mobile's 3G. But again... I doubt this change will happen in the next 2 years unless it becomes evident that LTE is surpassing Wimax in exposure.

So my point is... So what if LTE+ or LTE is GOING to be better? Phone's don't last forever. You're not tied down with one carrier for life. Get a Wimax phone. If you're up for an upgrade and LTE is in your area next and is performing better, then get an LTE phone.

I don't see what the big deal is.

Back on topic... Doubtful that there will be a "Worldphone" version. My guess is there will be an alternatively branded device by HTC that's nearly the same but for GSM carriers. Like the HD2 but with Android.
[EVO 4G General] lysolflow:
damn....

i wanted to get this evo and stick my tmobile sim in it...

oh well..

there's news of some evo-like device w/ a keyboard that's supposed to be the new "htc sidekick"...

not sure where i read that it, but i know that i read it somewhere... lol....
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
/facepalm Why are do many people thinking the EVO is GSM. THERE IS NO SIM CARD, IT'S CDMA!
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I am not an expert on radios. but I use common sense to view things.

Not only have tech articles wrote about how the clear technology can switch very inexpensively if they had to adopt a standard but they have made mention by Clear themselves that its mostly software changes not hardware.

So we know that hardware frequencies for 3G/CDMA varies from carrier to carrier but NO phone has ever carried the 4G radio for Wimax/Clear yet. I am going to make a safe guess that Sprint would not through out billions of dollars in investment to have it go away in 2 years without the ability to adapt.

I also think that the 4G radios are not hard wired to accept just one frequency range. If the Clear hardware is mostly a software update and some tweaks I have a feeling its the same for the phones. I could be wrong but only time will prove any of us wrong or right about WiMax or LTE.

For the moment as many have said Sprint has it going on with 4G and until the new kids on the block wants to come out and play I will enjoy a less crowded playground :)
[EVO 4G General] lysolflow:
*double facepalm*

b/c the HTC Touch Pro2 was also a CDMA phone... but had a slot for a sim card because it was a WORLD PHONE...

How can i view my mac on my hd2 i just want to be able to control it via fone with keyboard and mouse like remote mobile desktop mobile on my mac
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
I use the HD2 with my Mac every day. You can flash via Bootcamp partition, if you wish (I do it.)

The HD2 integrates with iPhoto out of the box, and you can use Missing Sync (Paid) to enable all other sync features, or a few less using doubleTwist. (Free)

There is no "out of the box" support for the N1 either, btw, so simply switching to it won't solve your issues, but I can assure you that the HD2 and the MacOS integrate nicely.

I just want

to use my hd2 as a remote/mouse/keyboard for when im doing presentations or just plain old to lazy to get up and type on the computer, i had an iphone with hippo remote pro, and this is killing me now...
[Windows Phone 7 General] gogol:
There you go!

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=15451

Techticker.co.uk have published this summary of the recently held UK TechDays seminar held by Microsoft to introduce developers to their new mobile OS.

While the 9 minute video by and large cover information we have heard earlier, one issue of note is that apparently each application will only have access to 2 GB of storage on the device, irrespective of the actual size of storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] flashpanda:
Don't really see that as a problem; the main storage hogs are going to be music/videos/pictures, which are handled through accesible libraries without this 2GB limit. Maps for GPS apps could hit the limit, although I think I see the envisaged scenario being more on streamed data with caching.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tito662:
Yeah I don't see what's the problem here. Just more BS drama from WMPoweruser to generate traffic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spike15:
The problem is that it's just heuristic restrictions on the usage of the operating system.

Why would you limit the size of the space an application can use? Is the underlying OS FAT32 and Microsoft is worried that stupid app developers will store everything as one monolithic file and therefore break their app when the store reaches 2GB?

It doesn't make sense, and restrictions that don't make sense -- regardless of what they are -- are a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
Yea, this is pretty restrictive, but you guys make it sound like 512MBs. How many apps do you have installed on your device as of now?
[Windows Phone 7 General] flashpanda:
No, it's Silverlight Isolated Storage for saving stuff 'on disk'. SIS stores have specificed, finite sizes. Who knows, it might be fat32, might be exfat.
[Windows Phone 7 General] iamcrazyfire:
This is limited by Silvelight...

but i don't think this is a big problem,this limitation can easy change by update
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
This isn't really accurate. They haven't fully decided on a max space. WP7 uses exFAT and isn't limited to a single file size. I believe this can be configured per app and developers will be able to request more than 2GB if their app needs it for whatever reason. 2GB is just the 'default' and isn't even enforced in the CTP. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402541(v=VS.92).aspx
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phyx:
My bigger problem with this isolated storage is that for no reason at all other than bad engineering it's incredibly slow. sviluppomobile.blogspot.com/2010/04/wp7-isolatedstorage-speed.html about 127x slower.

When I posted about this on the msdn forum, some MVP just basically told me to "use a webservice" and if i don't than this is not the platform for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] msanda_77:
I had issues with that when i was making some silverlight apps some time ago. But i figured them out. What microsoft is doing here with windows phone 7 is that they are using the phone to marry apps with their cloud counterparts. Apps like netflix ap mobile nytimes will use if at most 10 mb of local storage on the device. anyone that need more than 512 mb of local storage for their app, is doing something really wrong. in regards to speed of the local storage i have realised that each local storage created is essential a true isolated storage area. meaning its essentially a small partiton formatted in some format (might be fat) and all the process of reading from that and storing to it really gets some painful io problems. But it seems with windows phone 7 the unified storage engine seems to fix that. Essential from my views of the way my programs are working. when an app is launched. all other apps are essentialy frozen in their last state, so only essential apps and stacks are running. during this process the local storage is put into ram and the application access the program at close to the native speed of the ram. when a user hits the back button it essential takes the local storage and saves back to the slower storage medium and saves the state of the application..

hope this makes sense.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NoWorthWhile:
What do you plan on installing on your WP7? World of Warcraft?

Imho, you don't need more than 2 gigs per app, hell, even my Tomtom with all Europe installed on it fits on my 2 gigs microSD card.

Remember, it's a freaking phone!

Hi

The tethering speed on my computer is much slower than the actual speed on my phone. I tried both ICS and WMwifirouter via usb to tether. And they both show similar speed. So i don't think it's because of software.

0.5m kbs on computer vs 1.7m kbs on phone

do you guys know a solution for this?

before i used Samsung a777 to tether and the dl speed was 1200kbs

so i don't know if ATT now block smartphones form tethering?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Make sure in Settings/Connections/Connections you have set both networks to MediaNet and take out any proxy settings.

Not sure why it would be slower though.

I tether and the speed is the same without any tweaks.
