Is Droid x capable of this? I have a feeling not... just saw the commercial for the first time.

My understanding is absolutely not.

Correct. To my knowledge, Verizon hasn't launched any device capable of that yet. I know the service is on track for a December launch.
I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you live in NYC, LA, Houston, etc., you won't get LTE until around 2013. We'll all have new phones by then.

Tru. By then will have 12inch screen phones. 4 core processor and 3d options.

I thought it was launching in all the football cities...
Expect 4g start to roll out in the first quarter of 2011. From what I understand, February. Once rolled out, it will be the most comprehensive 4g available in the US. Verizon has more more towers and are being retro-fitted.
i thought i saw somewhere that the software updates WOULD make the droid x capable with 4G LTE. i could be wrong. will try to find where i saw this

Is it possible to flash the sprint nexus 4g to Verizon? If so, how?
Thanks
The short and simple answer is no. If you want the long detailed version look around xda as this gets asked a lot in other cdma phone sections...
Sent on the go from my android device using Tapatalk
Oh ok thanks. I figured it could be possible since the verizon iPhone was able to flash to sprint. I guess the nexus is different or something.
i would imagine using tools there available online you could in theory get it going on verizon and maybe even get 3g but 4g wouldnt work for sure

I have a verizon prl flashed. It allows my nexus to roam on the verizon network at all times. It increased my dl speeds from 300k to 2mb per second.
You still need sprint service though.

Nope..it's highly possible ..check YouTube and eBay. People even got step by step and so on. So I know it's possible.
I was hoping to do the same thing. Technically it seems like the Sprint ones should be possible.
I poked around the forums trying to find a general answer why this wasn't possible but didn't find any real concrete answer. Can anyone explain why it's not possible or point me to a post that does?
Thanks
Possible, yes. Legal? Not so much.

I dont think you understand what the OP is trying to do. He doesn't want to roam on Verizon, he wants to get a Verizon plan and activate his phone on Verizon. That requires falsifying your IMEI and no you cant do that with an app from the market.

They will fix it. They have plenty of spectrum to do trial and error.

Your not wrong. Evo does not have a LTE radio to recieve LTE signal. But, by the time LTE is up all us phone nerds will be drooling over the new Evo 5d with quad core proccessor, 7.1 surround sound, adreno 2,000 and LTE/Wimax radio's. ( A boy can dream right ;p)

It says LTE is still coming but the termination of the agreement with Lightsquared how will tis affect LTE? I just curious and figured i'd get better answers from a comunity full of smart people .
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
It means LTE will not be in lightsquared's 1600mhz band, and instead will be in Sprint's 1900 and 800(former iden) bands which they would have been using anyway. So it means Sprint may be looking for additional spectrum to increase capacity down the line.
There was already a thread about this, must have died. Anyway their Lightsquared deal was to allow them faster deployment of LTE iirc. And also different spectrum.

I think being a sprint customer, by now we all should be use to slow/partial roll outs of any kind that sprint has their hands on. But I highly doubt they would drop a contract or whatever without having some sort of plan. That would just be horrible business to kill something like that and just stand there and go "now what."

No. Lightsquared's LTE was to be an addition to Sprint's LTE; same with Clearwire's LTE.
Materially, however, we will have less 4G LTE coverage/spectrum due to the loss of this agreement, and Sprint lost a lucrative revenue source (billions of dollars).
sprint have lost one, but gained an new one.

If im not mistaken, I think you can still connect to "regular" 4g if LTE isnt available
Or do you just not 4g where you live in general?
Pretty certain there is no wimax (regular 4g) on the new Evo. I've read the 8960 chip can't/doesnt support it. So I don't believe that's an option.

Sprints "regular" 4g is wimax. I'm pretty certain this phone will not support wimax.
I am currently a Sprint customer, and while I am not very happy with their coverage, the rumor is they are building LTE all over the Tampa Bay area, and I should be covered by their LTE by year end (if the rumored schedule is true).
I am considering going to AT&T who does NOT have LTE in my area north of Tampa, BUT they have the HSPA+ in my area.
One of the things that AT&T always brags about is that you can do simultaneous data and voice with AT&T phones, but CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) cannot do that simultaneously. I heard that some CDMA phones have an additional antenna which will allow for simultaneous voice/data.
So here are my questions:
* Are my understanding of simultaneous voice/data limitations correct?
* Do we know if the Sprint variant of the Note 2 will support this?
All of the new cdma phones do voice and data including note 2 example the gs3 the evo lte and any new lte phone going forward

Apologies.
AT&T doesn't have LTE up here no, BUT they have HSPA+ 4G, which is better than the 3G I got with Sprint.
It appears if I want SVDO I will have to go AT&T, or just pray Sprint comes through with their LTE expansion up here...........
