You guys need to quite compaining about this 4g speed ****. I get 0.30 down/0.02 up on 4G!3G isn't much better here in Idaho! Sprint's speeds are suck ass here, and the sad part is, we have clear 4g, too!
[EVO 4G General] prettyboyrob2007:
your speeds are slow because you live in Idaho.
[EVO 4G General] ZachPA:
Seems like the Realm won't stay as clearwire-wmx.net. It keeps reverting back to sprintpcs.com.
[EVO 4G General] roghaj:
You need to hit the menu key, then the on-screen option "commit modifications". Otherwise you aren't changing anything.

I think everyone will get sent to clearwire if they hit commit.

I am interested in knowing if it is worth the one day pass.

Hell I get good speed on sprint anyway... 8 megs in Atlanta
[EVO 4G General] bludragon742:
I am too. Why would I pay Clear when I am already paying Sprint an extra $10/mo.? Plus, I get around 5-7mbps on PRI 1.140_003.
[EVO 4G General] ZachPA:
I did just that and both times it stayed clearwire-wmx.net for a while then reverted, but it did NOT reboot the phone. This time it rebooted the phone automatically and changes remained after reboot. Strange.

Anyway, this thread seems to indicate that buying a $10 1-day pass to Clear after doing this mod will actually enable a lifetime pass on this EVO?

I'm going into 4G land in Lancaster, PA pretty soon. Normally i only get 4 Mbps tops, yesterday while on Sprint Realm parked near a tower i got 5 Mbps. Let's see what this baby can do.
[EVO 4G General] roghaj:
Upload max for sprint is 1M. If it goes to 1.5 on clearwire domain, that is a huge increase. Would be very helpful for many things.

Are people actually getting beefy upload speeds?

[EVO 4G General] mccarthr:
First time poster, so here goes nothing...

For what it's worth, I decided to pony-up the $10 and give this a shot...

After the following:

1) successfully changing to clearwire-wmx.net

2) phone automatically rebooting

3) turning on 4G (which BTW says it's connected to Sprint network)

4) opened stock Internet app

5) being redirected to Clear

6) purchasing the $10 day pass through the redirect

7) following Clear's instructions to start browsing the Internet...

I'm still redirected to Clear and get no love. Speed Test app from the Market hangs.

Am I missing something or are others experiencing the same?

-- stock Evo 2.2
[EVO 4G General] ZachPA:
So here is what I found out.

I also ponied up the $10 for a day pass.

Opening the browser, all traffic was routed to the clear.com site for signup. Did the signup (though their site was incredibly slow). Used Clearwire 4G for several minutes then went into Home Depot. When I came out, was redirected again to the clear.com site, only this time my account was in and in good standing, but it wouldn't let me go anywhere but redirect to clear.com.

Speeds:

Did lots of testing using android apps, testmy.net on android browser, and over wireless tether to netbook. Got downloads ranging from 3-5 on SprintPCS, and 5-6 on Clearwire. Uploads different story, though. Always 1 Mbps over Sprint, ranged from 350-550 on Clearwire. Clearwire sold me a 6/1 daypass.

Not really interested in trying this again, even if my daypass somehow magically turns into a lifetime pass.
[EVO 4G General] prettyboyrob2007:
for some reason clear is not as much as a battery hog like sprints 4g. btw the uploads speeds on clear are sick.
[EVO 4G General] Rudementry:
Wow wait what, you got 1mbps upload on Sprint 4G? I barely get 100.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I decided to give this a shot, as I was getting around 6mbps, over the last couple days it's gone to worse than 3G.

I changed my Relm to Clearwire-wmx.net, I paid the $10 bucks, hopefully it sticks. selected WiMAX Laptop when asked what kind of device I have when signing up. and started testing. upload speeds are slower, downlaod speeds, so far, seem faster than they have been, but still about half of what I was getting. hopefully things will peak and I'll get crazy speeds too.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
hmmm, this is pretty interesting. tomorrow im going to try to see if i can test a clear evo speed test right next to mine and see if it is higher. your right, i have never gotten over 5Mb on my phone, while usually getting 6+ on my usb modem, assumed it was just a better antenna.
[EVO 4G General] roghaj:
Did this little trick prove fruitful for anyone for more than 24hrs? I looks like people have tried this and have had no luck for the most part.

[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
Sprint/Clearwire's Wimax networks are pretty new. They are probably doing quite a bit to roll them out, tweak them, and expand them. I remember going through this years ago with "3g" and later with EvDo RevA. It's interesting now because now people care and it's becoming a selling point. In my opinion it's not being marketed correctly but I'm not in marketing. Wimax is like an extension of Wifi and turns large areas into Wifi hotspots. By marketing as "4G" Sprint is implying that it's like an extension of the "3G" cellular people have recently started caring about. If you're living in a more densely populated area then Wimax is a great way to cover everyone with relatively high speed wireless data. It is new, it is in development in a lot of ways, and it is not quite the "cellular data--but faster" image that is being advertised or implied. I'm always covered by Wifi or Sprint "3G" so when I get a decent Wimax signal I'm happy. It's gotten a lot better since I tested it in Fall, 2008. If they can build out their network in cities and suburban areas, it will go a long way to getting high speed wireless fir a good chunk of people.

In Brandon FL, I get 6 - 8.5 MBPS all day on Sprint 4G. Anyone in Tampa or Brandon area try this yet?
[EVO 4G General] jdesai2008:
The reason using Clear 4G on the EVO is so important to me is as followed.

I have flashed my EVO to Cricket. I am using Cricket's 3G network on my EVO.

I have gone into the WiMAX settings, changed my realm to clearwire-wmx.net

My NAI is simply my MAC ID@clearwire-wmx.net

You may notice your MAC ID stating MACID@@clearwire.net

If you see two @ signs, that means your realm has changed to @clearwire-wmx.net

Simply remove the @ before your realm.

I added my EVO to my Clear account. I have clear for my home internet. To add my on-the-go device (EVO), I called and gave them the MACID.

It is an extra $15 a month. I pay $45 a month to Cricket.

So for a total of $60, my cell phone has unlimited talk, text, web, mms, data, national extended coverage, etc etc. plus 4G!

The technical support reps at Clear have been nothing but helpful in resetting my device on their end to help me troubleshoot the device. Now that all troubleshooting has been taken care of, I am now achieving 10-12mbps downsteam and 1mbps upstream consistently. I am a happy man.
[EVO 4G General] IAmSixNine:
Very interesting conversations. In Dallas I get 3-6 megs down. Best ever was 8. Upload is always 1meg. Ping time is usually 200-400 ms.

But our 4g coverage is still pretty spotty.

[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
phone browser / phone apps / computer anything on wireless tether or pdanet - no nada nuh uh never ever more than 1.5 down.

computer on wired tether - look at sig (usually 4-8 down).

i don't know why. anyone have any insight?

(ping is usually the same in any case [175-300])
[EVO 4G General] SublimeMogul:
My 3g sucks pretty bad almost everythere. The most I've ever seen on 3g was once I got a 1m down and 1m up. Never at the sametime of the tests either. But with 4G even with just 1 bar I get about 8m down - 1m up. With 3 to 4 bars I've seen speeds as high as 15m down - 1m up. Im pretty happy with 4g even with the $10 charge for it. 14m down is faster then Comcast or Fios around here (wired).
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
Where exactly are you getting these speeds?

And somehow I can't figure how 15 meg service could be FASTER then fios from Vzn.
[EVO 4G General] ChaosShadow:
When I changed the realm to Clear, my 4G speeds were for crap. 1919k DN/530k UP, 485 ping. Put it back to Sprint - 4989k DN/996k UP, 167 ping. I was gettin 3G speeds with the Clear realm. No thanks :p
[EVO 4G General] Smac7:
well, idk whats going on here in west michigan right now but im extremely upset. 3g speeds during peak times are 100-300 kbps (ping is ussually at 999 ms) and yesterday for the first time i got a chance to use my 4g while i was in grand rapids with 2 bars. i got a whopping 800 kbps. finally nearing 3g data speeds i guess :(
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
My house equals 0 4g service (mine and like 3 house are in a 4g dead zone in my area, ITS DUMB). 100 yards down my street I have 1 bar 4g and get steady 4mb and its gone as high as 6-7mb. Im farrr from the 4g towers.
[EVO 4G General] sfld:

[EVO 4G General] Smac7:

I've done speed tests over 6mb/s in parts of southwest Houston and Sugar Land.
[EVO 4G General] TheNexxuvas:
Sugar Land, Missouri City, Stafford area here, getting 8M down at the house, 5M down when I head to work at my Sprint Store on US99 in Richmond where we have a repeater antenna installed instore for CDMA/3G/4G/Iden Voice.

Stretches the small amount of 4G into the store from around 30=50 feet from the store outside. Walk out the door and lose 4G, get down the street and pick it back up again so we are waiting on the outer roll out now for outer Houston areas but instore I get the 5M consistant. Its such wierd coverage there in our area but when I pick it up again it's around 4M and gets stronger on my way thru Sugar Land to home in Missouri City where I get 8M again on the EVO and my Overdrive.

The reason yours are so slow is because there was an outage in Texas at the end of November that has affected our 3G/4G download speeds. My 3G/4G speeds in Austin have halved, with intermittent service issues since the outage occurred. I called Sprint and they have confirmed the issue.

[EVO 4G General] grayn0de:
There are no caps, but Sprint does route everything through a proxy server. You can bypass this for a small boost in network speeds. Turorial I found is linked below, I only gained about 15% on the speed tests, so YMMV:

[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
When my Evo was alive and when I had it, I got 0mbp on wimax. Maybe because I didn't have any Wimax coverage in my area, but I do know people that I've sold the Evo and other 4g phones saying on average they got about 4-6 mbp on WiMax depending on the area.

after you get it debrand it to LAM R2BA026 and you should be set

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uabtodd:
Not saying they won't, just saying the original point off the post was about the no contact pricing, which if correct, I'd about $200 cheaper than other carpets around the world had out for at launch. What really amazes me about att its the disparity between the amount they are subsidizing among different phones. If I am not mistaken, the subsidized price of the x10 is $150, no contact price is $350? Iphone 4 subsidized is $200, no contact is what, $800+? How do they take $600 off 1 phone, and only $250 off another, when they both require the same expensive data plan?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyacon:
the actual retail price at att corp stores is $300.

i was calling around to see which corp stores had them in stock and asked for the no commitment pricing to see if they matched the att website. one rep out of the three i spoke with, actually looked in the system and said $300. visited 3 corp stores in the last 2 days and all the displays say $350, but once they scan the phone, it comes up at $300.

there's gotta be some catch to this right?

350 is way too low, i paid 520 for mine.

aren't there activation fees, taxes, and such?

also the phone must come locked right, so u have to use att's network and u cant use t mobile?

350 is wayy to low, especially for a high end phone like the xperia, which in my opinion looks better than the iphone 4 and will probably perform better with froyo.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roaringhere:
What I gather is there's an activation fee and early termination fee for the no commitment option, but it's less than $100 total which is still low compared to buying it on Ebay...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyacon:
i'm pretty sure the sideload wonder application from androidcentral would make that a non-issue.

no additional fees for a no-commitment purchase (it cost me $320.99 out the door including sales tax). it is locked to att and you have to be an att customer to make the purchase. i have never had a problem getting the unlock codes from att on any of my previous phones.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauLegend:
Guys, if I Buy the x10 with no committment will I still be required to sign up for the data plan?

Whats your say on this?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uabtodd:
Don't do that. I have an unlocked, unbranded x10a I bought back in june before att officially announced the x10 was for real coming. I used the family data unlimited until saturday before last when I got a text from att saying that my phone required a smartphone plan. So they even require it on phones that weren't even made for them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltah!:
That $350 price is incorrect. The sales system doesn't account for the heavy subsidy on this phone and it will be fixed. When I looked online to see full price for a line ineligible for upgrade it gave me a no commit price of $629. AT&T pays over $500 for it so get it cheap while you can if you can.

[Epic 4G General] ForrelZ:
Don't believe the hype, first of all if you want a good professional review please don't even spit in Engadget's direction, they're biased to any device that isn't made by some type of fruit company.

Take a look at cnet pcmag or other credible source, just look at how they downplayed the camera making it seen like it was worse than an Evo's then look at Gizmodo which had visual comparisons vs the iPhone4 where the Epic clearly dominated that camera. In between those reviews is a spec of truth, both are absolutely biased for different reasons and neither are professionally done, don't let these "journalists" (hobby bloggers at best) let you decide what is or isn't a good device.
