EVO 4G on MetroPCS 4G LTE - EVO 4G General

Guys I have a question. Is there a way that a rooted EVO running on metropcs can be enabled to use metropcs 4G network????? Any suggestions.

Put simply no.the reason for that is the evo isnt retrofitted with lte and has wimax instead

Nope. The EVO/Sprint uses 2.6GHz WiMAX, and MetroPCS uses 1.7GHz LTE. It's like comparing WiFi to your TV's infrared remote; sure, they're both in the electromagnetic spectrum, but they're WAY apart. Nevermind that they use different technology.

Thank You guys!!!!!!

Sure, if you want to install an LTE chip, SIM card reader, and then integrate firmware, software, and drivers.
Our phones are lacking the hardware to be compatible with LTE, unfortunately :/.

Without the pricing for the 4g plan on phones it might not be worth it. Also have to be near a tower.
4g mifi card?

EVDO rev. B & LTE support coming to the EVO?

Take this for what it is, it could mean the EVO is going to get support for EVDO rev. B & LTE or it could just be leftover unused code but I did find these references in the leaked gingerbread init.rc.
My guess is that it's leftovers but I guess we won't know for a while
Code:
setprop net.tcp.buffersize.lte 4094,87380,196608,4096,16384,196608
setprop net.tcp.buffersize.evdo_b 4094,87380,262144,4096,16384,262144
Lte with the evo would be sooo tight

No ones sure about rev b ... so we can only hope! Not so hopeful about lte tho.

Much more likely to be left over code from other devices. The sense code is most definitely shared between devices.
A while back I also looked into Rev b support, and while the snapdragon has support, it lacks the transmitter. Likely to be similar with LTE and authorization will likely be done with SIMs.

I thought the radio on the EVO would not be compatible with LTE... AFAIK, only the towers can be upgraded by changing a few pieces of equipment to make them LTE-compatible. As far as the phone goes... well it won't connect to LTE since the radio was not designed for it.
At least that was my understanding around the EVO and its compatibility with LTE.

HTC builds a basic sense firmware, so this could be in there for verizon. I believe in the incredible people found wimax logos buried in the about phone HTC area

pretty silly statement. LTE is no better than WiMax in any way. Just b/c the Evo gets LTE doesn't mean it solves all the problems WiMax has given people. And by all the problems I mean the 1 and only problem in that is has provided poor coverage. This is mainly because of the freq its on. Just swaping over to LTE on the same freq will do nothing to help us.

Are you stupid? WiMax is not even running at it's full potential. Coverage and building penetration is the only issues I see with WiMax.

wayy faster? not the thread for that debate but your flat out wrong. please dont compare the 5 thunderbolt users speeds versus the thousands of thousands of evo users speeds.

Doesn't matter how fast it is if it's 2.5Ghz and won't propagate or penetrate walls. That freq range is only slightly lower than military satcom. It's best suited for circular polarized line of sight type
communications, or short range only.

I think when people say LTE would be better it's because Sprints LTE implementation would almost definitely be done over their old Nextel frequencies. Which basically means better penetration than Clears WiMax.

There is no saturation on Verizon's LTE networks so to make that statement makes you appear stupid. Please, next time, think before you speak.

that or they simply don't understand what they are talking about to begin with fully. Regardless anything being used on that freq will not take place till 2013 since thats when they said they plan to have iden shut off and switched over to using cdma.
btw Great to see you around Calk! Hows the kid doing? gotten a chance to check out the Sensation Port at all?
Unused code: LTE requires a new radio, Rev b most likely would too, but it doesn't matter as no carrier supports EVDO rev b anyway.

You say that like it's trivial. Those two factors make the 4G network unusable even in areas where it's supposed to exist.
The EVO already has built in support for Rev. B, LTE would be impossible as it is in the GSM family and would require a SIM card.

Correct even the tbolt uses a sim card to access lte.

Can I turn my nexus a 3g into a hspa (tmobile 4g) receiving device

I have a at&t nexus s 3g unlocked for
Tmobile running Android 2.3.4 smoothly but i'm wondering if I can unlock this to 4g? This was the case when I had a htc hd 2 I upgraded the kernel and rooted Android into it. It then would have an "H" on the top and ran alot faster. Could I do the same to the nexus s?

Nexus S does not have the hardware radios needed for HSPA+ 4G. Sorry.

Damn that sucks so what phone would you recommend for a gsm (Tmobile) user. Its actually for my gf she likes
Samsung brand
Super amoled screen
Front facing camera
4g speeds
Fast processor
I'm considering the Samsung galaxy S 4g but i just want to know all our options. Even a good at&t phone would suffice if it had the listed things

[Q] Help me with my HTC MyTouCh 4G

greetings Friends
As I can restore my HTC MyTouch 4G to the original? updated with GB but do not know if this has influenced the network! It really is 4G?
I think what your asking is, after upgrading to gingerbread mysense you are suspicious that the 4g is no longer 4g. I'm not sure why your suspicious but i can assure you that it is 4g... Well by T-mobile's standards because they use HSPA+ as opposed to LTE but never mind that's a different subject, the 4g is 4g
Just download a speed test from the Market and check for yourself if u have 4g coverage in your area and in your rate plan then it should show 4g speeds

Virgin Mobile 4G on flashed HTC EVO 4G

I was wondering about getting 4G service on the $25 plan would that be an option if I flashed my Optimus V over to the EVO 4G? I am still not sure I want to do this yet because I am considering ditching this altogether since freedompop is offering free 500MB using sprint towers soon and coverage for 4G is non-existent where I am but the option would be nice.

4g isn't possible. The OV is a 3g phone, where would you get the 4g from?
When your cloning a donor phone, you get the same options available to the donor. 3g=3g it doesn't matter the evo is 4g

someone told me that you could clone a mac address from a 4g VM phone...which has me considering finding a broken 4G VM phone.
