Looks good, though I think the tester in the update video could have been a little more 'professional' if you know what I mean. 'What the shiznit forizzle' isn't what'd I'd be saying.

If you get sprint service as it is now youll get lte. It's going on bands near the same freq so its diff when it comes to the Wimax rollout which covered less area.

If you look at the related videos, it shows this guy is or has been in a mental institution. And not to mention, there is absolutely no proof he is actually on sprint. He could have just renamed any wireless network to the "sprintlte" or whatever he called it.

disregard the fact the "speed tests" showed 40mbps, but his download speeds only showed 2.4MBps...thats roughly half the speed the tests showed.

Sometimes I wonder about those guys over at Android Police.
Pretty obvious the videos posted are all fake. Is it any wonder why the comments and voting for those videos are disabled? Is it any wonder why he tried to make a video without audio? Why is he dumping his "TheComputerMaster" YouTube channel and creating a new one called (((PLANETEARTHSUNIVERSE)))

Me and my girlfriend tried it with fring and it was horrible, not worth using at all. Never thought that this had anything to do with the upload speeds. Our download speeds on 3g arent that great either so i thought that was the problem. We get 4G right up the road and have been meaning to test it but havent got around to it.
Oh... thats no bueno :/ so im pretty much screwed unless im home on wifi because theres still no 4g in nyc for whatever reason

Yes I've tried it, its cool but I think it worked better on my Evo before they took Skype away. The quality isn’t that great, but it’s manageable. I think that’s due to the upload cap though, not sure.

Its been a pretty known fact that they have had issues with interference from the get go but keep saying they know how to fix it. Funny that still now they haven't gotten it worked out.
yeah those GPS are a real issue
I were Sprint I wouldn't sign a deal until they can prove those are fixed
They will fix it. They have plenty of spectrum to do trial and error.

If this deal goes through they will use Sprints spectrum which will not affect GPS.

Your not wrong. Evo does not have a LTE radio to recieve LTE signal. But, by the time LTE is up all us phone nerds will be drooling over the new Evo 5d with quad core proccessor, 7.1 surround sound, adreno 2,000 and LTE/Wimax radio's. ( A boy can dream right ;p)

This, Wimax is quite the joke in terms of building penetration and connection. When I look on the Sprint map I have 4g service available, I can't even connect to the **** outside let alone inside. Hell it's so bad I don't even care if custom roms/ports don't have 4g because I can't use it.

I still do use a 4G rom but I hardly every use 4G but it CAN be nice when it actually works which is hardly ever unless I'm on top of a mountain 50ft away from the wimax tower
You guys should try out this app. It reports coverage and performance in your area to give a better idea which carrier and device are the best for cell phone networks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiaXXOTkRow
APK
Mine shows 0 bars, lol
EDIT: It would appear the epic will only report zero bars, no matter what the signal strength is. Other Sprint phones work fine, something is borked.
First!
Just downloaded this app n I'm messing with it
Seems kinda cool
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had to sync data before it showed any bars. Mine said 2.00, and that Jacksonville Florida is covered the best by Sprint. Idk if the app is just using my own carrier to display that though. I did this on a Nexus S 4G and now it's Sprint's top ranked phone in my area. LOL
Let's see if this one actually works. Sensorly reports all areas as 0/4 evdo coverage on the epic. No fix from the dev after many emails. Makes the maps untrusted big time. I tried the root metrics one and it does not report anything up in areas.
Wow...not what I thought at all...it doesn't map anything?
Clearwire also has a 4G coverage app on the market. "Got Clear?"

It's meant to be a statistics app, for now. It will have more features later.
Yeah, this doesnt work. I always get 0 bars with epic.... other phones work though, according to that chart thing..
I think the same reason this doesn't work on the Epic is the same reason Roam Control won't work on the Epic in Texas. Something about the tower tech if I remember correctly. Not sure on the details.

Not related at all. Roam control works fine everywhere. Its just the modem fails to roam on the PCS band. Seen it for myself. Stock Epic and stock TP2 with the same PRL. The TP2 had full Verizon signal on 1900mhz. Epic was searching for signal.
Are you guys running stock or a modded ROM? A theme without a proper network fix would have this error.
Wtf, Sprint is going to get a bad reputation from this application because it doesn't work at all.

It worked for my Samsung Nexus S, but not the Epic. I'd assume it could be something to do with being on a custom ROM.

Edited OP to let people know this isn't working right on the epic. I think this is an epic specific issue because Evo (4g and 3D) owners' scores appear normal and even pretty good ~3.5 bars. It appears that only the epic isn't cooperating.
Only one I have seen work on the Epic is Cellumap. Seems like the other devs need to ask that dev how he does it
Ok so why call something 4g service when it's really just 3g service. That's lying to customers! We Won't see 4g until 2013 it seems! Kinda makes me want to leave Tmobile!

Another challenge will be in the confusion brought on by its own definition of 4G. Since 2010, T-Mobile renamed its HSPA+ network--widely considered a 3G technology--its 4G network. With the widespread availability of HSPA+, T-Mobile was able to boast of having the nation's largest 4G network.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
But yet they call it 4g and throttle you when you go over the really 3g service! Stupid!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Semantics... It is what it is - doesn't matter what you call it.
If you're going to leave a good provider that has good rates for something as petty as that, you've got bigger issues than T-Mobile calling their service 4g...
That's just my opinion though... No offense intended.

not sure if you know or don't know, but even LTE is not considered 4G
true 4G is still far away from any service
all the service providers are advertising 4G but they are all fake, as non of them really meets the 4G specifications
First of all know your facts . Now the person who said late isn't really 4g is right. But on another note in certain areas T-Mobile is just as fast as Verizon and sprint . I get speeds of 15 - 20 mbps. Its all about area that you are in.

True 4g is atleast 100mbps and guess what nobody hits that. Its all bull but yes lte is def faster then hspa+. Only the uneducated think that these bs services are real 4g and sadly not to many people know really just how fast 4g is supposed to be if they did these companys would have a problem
im from phoenix and i get "4G" almost anywhere in the valley, not so much when indoors , but it is kinda fast ...
Ill takes my fake 4G battery life ove LTE!
sent from the Dark §¡3€
lol.... really?
The whole "4g" is just a marketing gimmick, but i don't really care as long as im getting 11500kbps download most of the time, sometime i even get 15000kbps.
It was a big deal before about this basically any company with new technology is consider 4g now. Hspa+ can be 4g if it reached 100 mbs. The network must reach over 100mbs not any phone. Lte isn't consider 4g either but lte-A is considered 4g.
i dont want to be mean or anything but this is really really old news and probably has been posted a million and a half times. no carrier in the world has true LTE Advanced which is set to be "real" 4G. All the current "4G" monikers are just stopgaps until they can implement LTE Advanced or a 4G compliant WiMAX.
I wouldnt quit just because tmo is advertising 4G when it really does not, because you'll be stuck looking for a 4G compliant carrier with nothing to switch to.

If im not mistaken, I think you can still connect to "regular" 4g if LTE isnt available
Or do you just not 4g where you live in general?
Pretty certain there is no wimax (regular 4g) on the new Evo. I've read the 8960 chip can't/doesnt support it. So I don't believe that's an option.
