4G speeds?

Here is the story: http://www.androidspin.com/2010/03/17/its-twoo-its-twoo-4g-speed-is-a-reality/
Is it possible to develop and get us rooted users on 4G? I am a little uncertain of what the article is assuming.

i dont believe it but if its true... WOW

Yeah, Im not sure what a developer could do, to piggy back these speeds.

Hmmm.
1.3mbps on 4G? That's it? And which 4G? You mean Sprint's WiMAX? Or someone else's 4G network that has not been built yet?
I'm calling it. Shenanigans.

I am uncertain as well and those sure don't look like 4G speeds to me. However, I think there are hardware limitations that will prevent the N1 or any current phone from taking advantage of 4G. I don't believe it is equipped with the proper antenna and therefore maxed out at 7.2mbps

Interestin, thou by looking at dl speeds its not uncommon for me(I'm in Seattle) to get 1.5-2mb dl speeds, which is significantly faster then my DSL at home: )

Yes but that's on 3G. 4G brings theoretical speeds up to 21mbps

I figured as much, and call it shenanigans aswell....thou i must say 21mb speeds on my n1would be awesome:drool: blah id settle for 5-7mb

Yeah I definitly call BS.

No, 21 Mb/s is still considered 3G,or 3.75G.

My 3g is faster.

Misuse of terms for standards makes unicorns cry.

i'm in Dallas and i'm getting stellar download speeds on T-Mo 3G, but uploads are a different story (see below). with 4G, would we see higher upload speeds as well???

There is no 4G on T-Mobile, not for a while, and our phones don't do 4G.

I'm not sure I would call 21mbps 4g (whatever that's supposed to mean). Here in Norway there is already a company that has a working LTE-network up and running (although only in the capital) and that has a theoretical top speed of 100mbps. Think the net is limited to 50mbps atm, but I've yet to meet anyone that has bought a modem (no, it's not compatible with current phones).

The specs are essentially the same as the epic, in that there is a qwerty keyboard, 1Ghz hummingbird. I'm not sure about screen resolution, but considering that this is also a CDMA phone, does anyone think it's possible to port the Indulge's 2.2 rom the Epic?

Check out new 4G LTE phone from MetroPCS. Similar but lesser model to Epic 4G. However, they have competitive offers, such as no contract unlimited plan for $60/mo.

You might want to look over on the SDX Developers forum. The Indulge looks a lot like the Samsung transform. The Samsungs are usually over there. Vampirefo is the developer to ask about the Indulge. He was the main guy working on the Froyo port for the Transform.

Significant data speed increase over the last week

I have had a significant better data connection over 3G in the last week. From .6mb to a steady 1.6mb the last few days.
Sprint finally widening bandwidth due to Dan Hesse announcement about sticking with unlimited data and the release of their top notch android phones around the corner?
I think so

Nowhere near complete but some areas could have added capacity, such as yours.
Sent from my spaceship!

As much as I would like to believe that, I doubt it. My speeds vary that much every few days. Whenever I think somethings improved, day or two later I'll be right back at 500-600kbps.

I have also seen an increase in the last 7-10 days. From about 650-700 then to about 1000-1100 now.....

My location was tweaked and upgraded a little over a month ago now.

I've seen this, too, but just on about 1/3 of the places/towers I'm at, and then it varies between 400 and 1.4 down/300 - 600 up. I think they are updating some of the towers, but they'll probably never update the one that I get connected to when I'm at home. ;(
Haven't seen any towers with new hardware on them either. ;(

After seeing this thread, I did some speedtests and looks like they fixed something here in Detroit too. Here's a screenshot of the tests I did this morning. Also, my slingplayer doesn't pause like it used to because data speed was so slow.

i am seeing better data rates as well. Providence, RI

I just checked mine and they are the same as always.... Very very low...
And it doesnt matter which rom I use, its the same across the board. Even the stock rom.
Edit: Those higher speeds were in the AM... Always good in the early morning but the rest of the day the speeds suck.

I got this while at a red light yesterday on 4G of course. But Sprint and Clear have the areas of focus wrong. They have been focusing on roads instead of housing developments and office buildings. It isn't like I can use 4G while driving.
Posted from my Atari 2600

i have never gotten over 850 kbps in the last two months... i want those speeds!

Check it out and share your thoughts!

there is no 4G stamp after Sprint on the back so it is a nice fake.
also word on the street is that all the US variants of the SGS2 will have the Nvidia Tegra2 chipset, so not much of a difference from other phones on the market. I personally wont own another Samsung for awhile, as they have little to no support for the community , and really just suck for delivering stuff that satisfies US carriers so updates coming to the US take forever!

I don't have any info one way or the other, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense. The Epic has it. The two current phones it will sit next to (Photon and E3D) have it. This is flagship phone, and it wouldn't make sense for it to lack 4G.
Not saying you're wrong, just saying it wouldn't make sense.

It wouldn't make any sense for this phone to NOT have 4G, what are you smoking?
Even if Sprint switches to LTE, it won't happen anytime soon, so that surely won't impact this phone.
Also, the rumor about the U.S. variants having Tegra 2 processors isn't entirely right, it was rumored other territories might have the Tegra 2 included, but the U.S. is the least likely to have the Tegra 2. Not saying there's no chance, but it seems pretty slim.

That would be the rumored new phone possibly coming to T-Mobile. A couple of tech news sites ran an article a few weeks back speculating with the exact info you see on that page. A couple of sites have the "rumored" specs and pic and are offering pre-sale. This is not confirmed by either T-Mobile or Samsung so I definitely wouldn't pre-order yet.
Another thread around here asking who's getting it is about three weeks old also.

not excited..
i've held the dx2, the sensation and other 4.3 inch phones, size is fine...but the att hercules is just bigger..
besides im not really focused on phones right now, my attention has been on tablets lately.. hopefully tmo will get a new nexus device in the fall or early next year..
just random... why is it that when i call tmo, it's like a party at their office, LOL.. i asked one time and the guy said that everybody is taking a break .. don't they have a break room or something? lol..

^ I think that's why they're the #4 carrier in the US and not higher.

it is supposed to be the tmobile version of the galaxy s2
