[ATTN all android devs] plz read this it may intrerest you. - EVO 4G General

i wAS wondering everybody , i know that the cell phones from different companies run off different towers using different ways of getting out their cell services. im a sprint user with the htc evo 4G, and i like the sprint service and all but it would be nice to go ahead use verison service or some other service that is not of sprint free of charge when the other signals are stronger or faster. i think this may be possible with enough work because, i know some companies use the same type of networking as sprint but just lock it away from non users of that company. so in sum im asking is there a way on the evo 4G to roam other company service towers while with sprint free of charge.

Out of all of that you only capitalized the AS in was and the G in 4G?
I think there's a way to load a Verizon PRL or some file that uses Verizon's towers instead of Sprints. Not sure as I'm relatively idiotic when it comes to this knowledge. I just happen to be able to follow directions well enough to not brick my phone.

there is an app called "roam control" in the market that will do that. it's 3.99

4G in ROM's is a deal breaker for me...

So ladies, Gents & phone enthusiats alike...
Dont take this is as much as a complaint just looking for like minded folk to collectively vent. I love flashing and tryin different roms/mods/themes just as much as the rest of you but one of the things i come to check 1st in a ROM are the "Known issues/Things Not Working" section. Seems as though the majority have 4g/hdmi NOT working. Idk bout the rest of you guys but i purposely bought a 4G PHONE TO BE 4G and nothing less. Simply put i cant fathom even downloading a 4g-less ROM.

There are only a few out there with it actually working....and some of them frankly suck. I wish i had the patience/time/know-how to develop my own. I do however appreciate the efforts of the gracious folk that put in their time to make all this possible. So to you guys specifically.....PLEASE I BEG OF YOU NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT (which im sure it is) PLEASE INCORPORATE A WORKING 4G IN YOUR ROMS TO COME.
/MINDLESS RANT
I love 4g too but Myns warm z is too good not to use! I use 4g for slingbox and playon... We'll see how long I can last without it
why don't you just develop your own roms then?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
thier are a few roms that 4g. like sprintlovers rom.
Is it just me or does the title and the image both suggest he doesnt want 4G yet is demanding it be implemented?
Now onto the post. Frankly I couldnt give 2 s#@$s about 4g since I dont have it in my are nor will it be here for at least a year. Also a TON of people dont care either even if they do have it because its a battery hog.
Soooooooo, instead of demanding something thats not possible, create your own rom with 4G or accept what there is and be frickin happy you have an option over the stock crap in the first place.
Try out CM7 nightly build #6, which just got WiMax added today.

thank you based god
an explanation
4g and hdmi are built into sense 1.0. So if a rom is sense based it has 4g working. If its asop (cm, miui not really asop but kinda ) or sense 2.0 like warm z then those things dont work. BUT as was stated team win developed a way to use 4g on cm roms. Theoretically this could spread to other roms such as how using the camera spread from cm to miui ect.... who knows soon because of the hard work of these devs all roms will have 4g. So just enjoy and stop complaining about things you get for free.
lol i read it the same way, i thought he was just pulling humor from the people saying they won't use a custom rom due to no 4g.
You will find in due time that as of right now, 4g is just a meh unless you really do use it. I lived in 2 cities that have 4g, Orlando and Raleigh and when I got my phone, i was just like you. omgggggg 4g or i won't use!!!11
But in all seriousness, there hasnt been many occasions where i actually needed it. Sometimes when I wanted to view or show a youtube video in high quality and I wasnt in a wifi area... and that's all I can really think of. But like mentioned above, if you want to keep 4g on, your battery will suffer. So regardless, if i'm paying for it or not, i'm not really using it at all. It's like 5% of my usage.

You realize AOSP roms have to reverse engineer and completely build from the ground up drivers that do the same thing as those manufactured by a multi billion dollar corporation. And they have to do it at night after they get off work. For free. You do realize this, right?
Also your timing couldn't be worse as CM7 now officially has 4g. And yes they built it themselves.

Am in Chicago...haven't chosen a 4G Rom in a while.
4G's a crock for me. Its only significantly faster with a very strong signal (which is less than half the time). And its a bigger crock indoors. So plain not worth it.
(I don't go speedtest apps btw (4G always looks good there)...I use some standard sites and measure the time it takes to download..
4G sucks.
I should say SPRINT 4G sucks. T-Mobile speeds much closer to 4G capability.
Will be breaking contract to take up Galaxy SII or LG this spring.
Since you're feeling quick to judge and critique... I'd like to remind you that 3G data connectivity and WiFi are BUILT INTO ANDROID.
4G on the other hand, has to be completely built by scratch by the ROM developer.
I don't deny the value of including 4G in a ROM, but please know that a developer might spend hundreds of hours trying to get it working / writing it from scratch.

Um, what's the difference between a complaint and a rant? If there is a difference at all, isn't a rant worse than a complaint?
There are TONS of ROMs with 4g to choose from. Also, just b/c you say something isn't a complaint, doesn't mean you can just say anything after that and it won't be perceived as one.
Kinda like:
"with all due respect, Mr Dennit ... I had no idea you had gotten experimental surgery to have your balls removed"

Yeah see man, this ain't a useless post, I found it quite interesting, I also appreciate that statement by Dan h more and more now
I don't really wanna point and laugh. There is no way they are going to ignore the android users that to the same thing. Eventually, this type of thing may come Sprints way.
I hope not, I can't remember the last time I tethered.. but would still hate to have it taken away from me. I surely will not pay 30$ a month for it.
I think it might be important to point out that this is not just an iphone thing, but any customer with a tether capable phone.

People will always complain and complain and complain, that's how society works. I had a guy that called in to cancel his account a few days ago because his phone wasn't working. After ranting and screaming he said "you know what, all the **** that happened in Japan and i'm pissed off over a phnte? I'll just go buy a phone, im not cancelling, im sorry man" and hung up the line.
There's so much **** going on in the world and yet people complain over their 3G speeds being "slow" or Sprint not releasing a good phone at MWC, or the Echo (even though nobody's used it).
/rant
It doesn't matter. Most iPhone users are just mindless zombies that believe it is the best product simply because it has an apple on it. AT&T or Verizon can do whatever they want and they will still sell millions of iPhones.

yes that's why i returned mine, canceled sprint, went to verizon and got good service and a kick ass phone now. for the ns4g users that are waiting for this "fix" to come, i hope it comes soon for you guys.
when i get employed again and can get off my familys account on sprint i was thinking about Verizon or ATT. those are the only 2 companys i haven't tried.
i had VZ years ago but that was before there were such thing as smartphones.
i kind of have a thing for the Droid charge, really wanna get a feel for that phone

verizon service is 10x better than sprint. i even get 4g at my home now. yes im paying more but soo far it's worth it. i agree the charge looks like a nice phone but i got the tbolt, htc has a better rep with their phones.

Sprint Network Upgrade Rolling Out Faster Than Anticipated

Sounds like exciting news to me.
and we need 3 threads about this in the epic section for why now?
because we are all obviously jerks who not only have endless amounts of time to scour the forums for duplicate threads while at work, but also love inconveniencing you by forcing you to open a thread and post a snide remark even though that threads topic is not a mystery.
I only see 2 and according to the times on the op they were at the same time so it not impossible for duplicate post. Simply it wasn't one when the op posted. So no need for rude remarks. It be more effective to just say "hey thanks for the info there's another post about this" or just not respond at all and let the post fall in the endless void of pages. Just saying.

Id hardley call it scouring the forums. All 3 (and yes, there are 3) were the top 3 threads in this forum. I also don't see what I said as snide. It was simply asking a question. That is what a discussion forum is for. Maybe if you learned to use them, I.e., posting in the correct forum/search before you create a new thread, you would know that.
You are the only one making assumtions and calling names and I think you are the only one coming off as a jerk.

Maybe this means I'll be able to answer a call in my house and not have it drop as soon as I leave the range of the airave!

If I remember right. Your phone will keep the call from tower to Airave, but not from Airave to tower.

That may not matter - he may not have a tower to jump to, even if it did work both ways

Its the other way around you can go from airrave to tower but not tower to airrave and what sucks is if you were on a tower then you get in range of an airrave you will need to hang up cuz the airrave creates a lot of interference with the tower while your on a call

There is no service in downtown Phoenix. If you go WAYY up north or to Mesa they have little dots... but nothing downtown in the city.

Wishful thinking. The unrealistic and exaggerated schedule is to appease the investors and to prevent subscriber churn. There's also the big issue with how they're going to fund the upgrade. I believe this is a desperation do-or-die move as they see the writing on on wall in a few years unless something very drastic is done for any chance of survival.

We have spots of 4g service here and there in Tucson. Downtown, midtown, near the U of A, and at the Park Place Mall... But I live on the north side... :-(

Sprint and Clearwire need to get bought out asap to put an end to these capital issues.

Hi

I just wanted to pop n say hi. I miss you guys.
as some of you know I left sprint to goto metro pcs n stopped working the epic n Android all together. I went a couple month with a non smart phone. I finally had enuff n missed Android. I invested in the Samsung admire. Let me just say that phone was a pos with no dev support. I helped with getting Odin n cwm on the phone. I then built a basic ROM. as I was working on the ROM I lost all interest in metro n there ****ty data speeds. I am now with t mobile n I have a lg mytouch 4g (e379). I haven't started any real development for my new phone as it already has official cm7 support. I did how ever make a little tweak package for my self. Idk if I will release it to the public.
Well that's enuff about me. I see things picked up pretty good for the epic after I left.

Well sprint does not own their towers so how can metro use sprint towers if sprint does not own them? I think metro is not a virtual mobile operator like page plus on vzw.

metro works off all sprint towers, or roams on them, something along those borders?

Mystery! How we've missed you! (I follow you on Twitter, so I've kept up on your evolution! Your tweets back and forth with k0nane are priceless!)
SRF 1.1.1 and 1.2 along with Emotionless Beast are still legendary, in my book! Hope life is treating you and the family well! (pick up an OG Epic on Ebay and rejoin us!)
You are now and and always will be... "one of us"...

There seems to be a lot of confused people in this thread. Sprint owns its ENTIRE 1x/EVDO/IDEN network infrastructure. They have a roaming contract with Verizon and limited contracts with smaller, regional carriers for the areas that they do not cover (relatively small parts of the country). MetroPCS operates similarly. They run their own network, and roam (poorly/limitedly/expensively) on others for where they don't cover (which is significantly more than Sprint). They share resources only with Cricket, as the two are merged at a parent-company level.
Boost and Virgin are MVNOs that operate on Sprint's native resources. Page Plus is one of several VZW MVNOs. Sprint is not an MVNO, nor is MetroPCS.

I'm the cat. That was a pretty awkward picture, I was pretty sure Deckhand Horseface was more interested in molesting me than stopping me from taking a swim in the churning ocean. But I was pretty drunk at the time and I'd done a bit of blow (check out my eyes - and his, I shared) so my memory could be bad.
