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.

Faster than expected eh? I heard that Sprint would have 4G in Oklahoma early this year. So much for that...

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

most threads say that the update will be released about the 20th of June. I was really surprised that the evo 4g had the Gb release before the Evo 3d came out. I think that the reason the Evo 4g is not getting sense update to atleast 2.x is that sprint wants them to get the newer shift (sense 2.x) or the newer evo 3d with 3.x sense. I wish our GB had TW 4 in it. I have used the leaked TW 4 and like it but wish the widgets for feeds work as i cant find any other replacement feeds that are somewhat like it. The ones for fb and tweeter are too small.... any ideas...

Sprint has told me many things... And I believe that the person telling me believed they were being truthful. Just in the past 2 weeks:
* The Airave does not use the internet for voice calls. It connects to towers in your area. The internet connection and GPS are for location purposes only.
* We will credit you $25 for next month and the month after if you upgrade your phones this weekend. I will call you 4:30p on Tuesday to confirm. No call.
* I do see in your notes that we agreed to credit you $50 if you upgraded two phones but only one time. There is no way we can credit you another $50. (we go back and forth). Ok, I'll give you a credit now and another credit for next month. Do you want an email confirmation? Hell Yes! No email received
The Sprint guy probably doesn't know the difference between the Evo and the Epic. They both start with "e" afterall...

What is there to discuss? Why not call a troll a troll? Stop being so sensitive!
Warning: This news does not have to relate to the Samsung Epic.
What this is: Your own little shortcut to all the greatest news in the technology world.
Why this is useful: Sometimes there are some great, interesting stories about technology that don't
necessarily relate to the Samsung Epic, but are worth sharing.
This does not have to relate to phones either; this could be anything from Android to toasters.
RULES:
1. Don't TROLL. How could you troll in this thread? I have no clue, but I'm sure someone will find a way.
2. Post your SOURCE. There is no point of sharing some news if you do not have a source to back it up.
If you can, provide a picture or video.
3. No Apple topics. Why anyone would post a story about Apple here I don't know, but the rule is there.
Other than that, no rules really.
What I will do to keep this alive: I will update the OP with the top stories each week or so provided with source links for easy navigation.
I really hope this can be successful and interesting for everyone!
I look forward tto some of these stories!

4g - LTE/WiMax + more.
so i've been very eagerly watching some events unfold in the world of sprint. Hope you guys enjoy... i threw in source links.
so, buncha interesting things!
Sprint has handed off its tower buildout back in 2009 to Ericcson.
Clearwire has done the same as of this year, 2011.
Ericcson has just demonstrated LTE-Advanced speeds of close to 1gb down out in Sweden, the rub is that it uses 60mhz of range whereas most US companies have 20mhz worth of spectrum to use.
Clearwire has 140 mhz of spectrum at the 2.5 range. This is one of the few companies with the capabilities of doing this.
companies can use pieces of its spectrum for different things. Clearwire could easily host both Wi-Max + LTE + LTE Advanced all at the same time if it really wanted.
Sprint through its Network Vision initiative is doing a 5 billion dollar Base Station upgrade. This will allow one base station/cell phone tower to broadcast as many bandwith signals as it wants.
This means its Nextel + Sprint service will finally get combined into one tower.
Clearwire is in talks to piggy back its buildouts using this initiative to drastically improve in buildout. This is almost definitely going to happen.
Network Vision buildout will be finished by 2013.
Clearwire has pretty much confirmed they will switch to LTE
Sprints sorta confirmed but not officially yet.
Intel has designed chips that can do Wi-Max/LTE/CDMA/Bluetooth 3.0/Wi-Fi all in one. These chips have already begun chipping to manufacturers.
Don't be surprised if we get an official announcement from Sprint this year with LTE officially coming out with phones next year.
To pay for Network Vision sprint has signed a 20 billion dollar/15 year deal to hosts Lightsquareds LTE network, with allowances to use that network.
Lightsquareds currently having issues with GPS bleedover.
No matter... as long as Lightsquared makes provisions to launch its network, it'll not just pay for Sprints Network Vision(woot the 4g service we will have), it'll pay for crazy expansion.
summary:
So this past years news really says Sprints + Clearwire will be switching to LTE. Base Station upgrade to allow itself to become a Cell Tower wholesaler with a software upgrade(way cool). Mass tower buildout in the future. This vision will improve Nextel/Sprint/4g service.
So this tells the current 4g story.
now this doesn't include the Nextel bandwith be decomissioned by 2017 meaning the Spectrum will be free by 2018... Sprint owned. if Sprint blocks AT&T and T-mobile they could absorb them as they constantly were saying if they both went LTE.... also it seems sprint will switch to LTE for voice. WiMax currently is not for voice. and lastly...
http://www.neowin.net/news/new-wireless-tech-could-allow-for-lots-more-data-bandwidth?
Eat it Shannons law! the OnLive CEO's company's may have just found a way to make bandwitch between 100 to 1000 times on spectrums. so this could change the ENTIRE 4g/Voice/whatever over IP game. The ENTIRE dropped calls etc. The future is fun. This could truly put us in a Cloud world(which worries me, i like custom building pc's).

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.

Sup K0han. Love the self portrait.
Nice break down on the network explanations. I didn't even know this much. I learn something new every day

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.

The US District Court of Eastern Texas shot that down. It also granted me $555 million in patent damages from Microsoft.
