Sprint to cut back on bloatware.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/19/sprints-fared-adib-we-made-a-conscious-decision-to-scale-back/
If I were them I would just leave it but give you the ability to uninstall.

Nice.
Funny how this goes in sharp contrast to what Verizon seems to be doing, case in point: the newest OTA for the Thunderbolt, it adds a bunch of Verizon bloatware, not to mention removing the free tethering option that was previously available on the phone.
I also wouldn't mind if it came loaded with bloatware, as long as all of it was easily user-removable, just any other app.

any one else notice LTE listed on that slide, so much for 4g comming to anytime soon to my area. I thought we would get that announcement at the end of the month.

Wimax is over and the Evo and Evo 3d was a waste of our time and money because Sprint doesn't care about its customers. Wimax COULD HAVE WON if they would have JUST BUILT TOWERS AND UPGRADED TOWERS! screw Sprint and its team. Of course they'll blame it on others. NO IT IS THEIR FAULT. WHY THE F!!! AM I PAYING EXTRA ON TOP of my plan for a 4g network you don't support?!

That's an awesome story bro, really.
Maybe you should discuss that in another thread related to that topic?

Waste of time and money? Since when do cell phones last for 3 years? And WiMax didn't lose because of Sprint, they signed a deal with Clearwire and the 2.5 ghz spectrum is no match for 700-800 MHz

I had a nexus s4g that had no bloatware, but it sucked, so I took it back for an evo.. if they can do it for one phone why can't they just do it for the rest? if somebody wanted them they could just dl it from the market, yes?

It would be great if the openly allowed rooting to the point where they advertise and make sure the hw makers provide unlocked bootloaders for their network.
Will it happen? No, but it is a nice (water)pipe dream.

One of my biggest reasons for rooting in the first place was to get rid of the bloatware. I'm glad they did this after I rooted or I may have never learned all the other great things that come with a rooted phone

asyork, tried to thank you... but i reached my limit..
and yeah i wound up trying to do the same thing... unfortunately, i took the OTA update and am stuck until one of the devs figure out a way to S-OFF i'm unfortunately SOL but oh well...

What's Your 4g Data Speed?

Hi all
After seeing so many people with their speed tests posted as their sigs, I was curious as to what everyone's average speed was.
So if you want to participate in this thread, go on mobilespeedtest dot com from your phone, run a 7MB test using your 4G data connection, and post your results here. Post your location if you like as well, I'm curious to see what people get.
Or as michael2041 suggested, you can also use the Speedtest.net app if you'd like. Anything that's optimized for mobile devices and can give you an image to post up is free game.
Please don't cheat, this isn't a competition. This is just a fun thread for people to contribute to
Here's my results with T-Mobile in NYC.

- okay i hear ya
the term xG, comes from the 1st Generation, 2nd Generation and so on. HSPA is the 3rd Generation. So wouldn't that mean HSAP+ is variant of HSPA. so it would still place it in the 3G bracket.

If that is true has why is wimax consider 4g when it was invented in 2001 long before 3g in 2008?
To correct you 4g has to do with theoretical download speeds not the generation of technology. Hence, why both wimax and hspa+ are considered 4g

I was told something completely different by a T-mo rep.
I was told that each generation has to meet 2 pieces of criteria. 1) has to be a updated hardware/software package then the previous version and 2) it has to meet a certain theoretical download speeds requirement.
Wi-Max is a updated software/hardware package then what sprint used prior to it. So they could call it the 4th Generation of Data transfer. Where as it didn't meet the specs of the download speed. I don't know how they got to use that name legally.
And didn't the counsel downgrade their standards to meet what Sprint and T-Mobile were producing with Wi-Max and HSPA+?

to be considered a 4g the technology has to be able to achieve 100 mbit/sec download, which hspa+ is capable of.
Your mistake was listening to a tmobile rep lol

1.Well hspa+ is an update both in software and a firmware update at the towers and it meets their standard
2.Im not sure either
3. No they downgraded it to include all of them, LTE wasn't considered 4g either

Atrix 3g

Just a question , i searched the forum and nothing. In Brazil, we got exactly the same phone as atrix 4g, except the fact it is 3g only. even the model is the same (mb860).
Someone tested, or know if there would be a problem flashing the 4g roms?

"4G" is just a marketing ploy used by Att, the phone is not really 4G (LTE).

Is there (or is it possible) any way to enable 4g on this phone? Does att even have 4g networks or is it simply this "3g hspa+ with enhanced backhaul" crap. I'm happy with the speeds, just wondering.

Lol wow. I mean its not that big of a deal to me, my phone's internet speeds are generally as fast or faster than my cable connection at home. But when other networks already have real 4g, its a bit worrying to see one of the largest carriers not have it yet. By 2013 we could have 6g though. lmao.

HSPA+ (what we have now) is still considered a 4G network, and AT&T has recently begun to roll out their LTE network in major cities (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/08/atandts-4g-lte-network-is-live-in-san-francisco/ for example)
can't really blame AT&T for advertising HSPA+ as 4G when it's technically part of the whole 4G terminology though.

Ah ok. Yeah the speeds seem comparable, and they do make it clear if you read about it on their site. I didn't know hspa+ was technically 4g so thanks for that info.

Only because there was/is no 4G standard so Att just called it 4G and who is anybody that is not Att to say otherwise? If Att called a bottle of water 4G who would be able to disprove it? 4G IS NOT created equal, it needs to be better standardized and regulated..

Anyones Sprint service down around areas in los angeles?

All day pretty much near my area where I'm currently staying over at friends in Los angeles county the service has been down for voice and text.. and i mean down literally no calls at all or text. Data is extremely slow or down as well.
Anyone else having this issue? I thought I'd post you guys here to see answers =) maybe sprint is upgrading towers around here for LTE testing to come soon? I'm not sure.. zip code 90255 and 90001.

Mine is down in the Chicago area. Three weeks now of:
1) Many dropped calls
2) Texts won't come through until you make a phone call (lots of voicemail calls lately)
3) Clock off by an hour for no reason, then switches randomly back to the correct time.
Sprint store said the towers are being worked on. I'm hoping LTE too!

Thanks for that! I'm thinking they might be working on the towers because text messages literally say "not send" ... calls don't even ring.. so many of my friends and neighbors near by are outraged lol!

4G? Where art thou?

So I live in the Baltimore area which has full 4G/LTE coverage. I RARELY have 4G on this thing. Anyone having that issue as well?

Seems to connect fine for me when not on WiFi. I would be contacting Sprint if you are sure the LTE in that area is strong enough. Make them do the work to figure it out. Have you updated your PRL? If not you should do that and see if it helps.
From Sprint: "On some 4G LTE chipsets such as Qualcomm, the PRL determines if LTE is enabled for the geographic region you are in."

Yeah the live chat people are morons anyway. Might just go to the store and tell them to fix it.

I have the same issue in my area. I checked on sprint.com/coverage and it claims there is 4G coverage in my area. I hardly see the 4G icon on my phone and its painfully slow when on "3G".
I read somewhere that sprint is updating their towers for better coverage and start LTE coverage in more areas (mine included). I read on some unofficial site that they are only 23% done updating and are expected to complete the project (in my area) by the end of this year.

I was just in Baltimore all week for business and I got 4G the entire week! I was staying right near Camden Yards at a Holiday Inn Inner Harbour.

No, they just are not finished implementing lte. Think of sprint.com/coverage as planned coverage not actual completed sites. Most areas are 30%-40% complete from what I have been reading.

Actually, I had done something with my MSL changing my proxy settings & when it rebooted, I looked at my network preferences & noticed it was CDMA only. I had to enable LTE before I actually started seeing LTE again in areas when I KNEW I should've had it around Dallas. Thing was, it was several days before I noticed it was CDMA only!
