This pdf was emailed to me this morning. This is a huge step for you guys, as this was a thorn on Sprint's side for more than 6 years. http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2012/db0524/DOC-314273A1.pdf Edit: FierceWireless just posted more to this story, with Sprint...

SVDO were widely tested for the last 2 years with both CDMA carriers and Qualcomm, before it was official. The problem is not only is the parts expensive per unit, earlier chips were a ***** to battery life, something that Qualcomm later improved. The original plan was to implement it once the...

1X Advanced is still a go, and EVDO Advanced is still the option. It's just very strange both haven't been brought up at all, though it's not over yet.

To make sure you know what you're talking about and not look foolish, what you've meant by your quote was if Sprint doesn't upgrade from A to B, you're done? DO-Advanced is the next step after Rev. B, and they are upgrading both networks. Anyway you've put it, Rev. A ancient history.

Sprint reps told you this? Unless last minute changes were made, Sprint going Advanced on both sides. It makes a lot of sense, as both are the next evolution of CDMA.

Sprint is upgrading their EVDO to EVDO-Advanced. CDMA 1X-Advanced for Voice, EVDO-Advanced for Data. The max speeds for DO-Advanced is just Phase 1, as Qualcomm are working on the next phase right now (HSPA, HSPA+, HSPA++) It's not HSPA+, but better than what they are offering now.

I'm surprised you didn't know this, but Rev. B supports Voice and Data at the same time. Why you think CDMA subscribers was begging for that switch from the moment it was finalized? SVDO wasn't an option back then.

No it won't. LTE and LTE alone will be the reason Sprint moves to tiered data. I don't blame Sprint for these changes either. They've provided the best perks for years, and how did that help them with their bottom line? 15 straight quarters without a gain, and you guys are pissed? Apple...

Rumors doesn't make it official, you will end up heartbroken that way. Come October 7th, we'll see if the rumors will be reality. It's no HSPA+ and DO-Advanced, but it's better than Rev A and another option for simultaneous voice and data.

Sprint still owes 53% of Clear, but they've never had full control of that company. They are now trying to buy Clearwire and doing whatever it takes to make it happen.Another thing, 1X-Advanced is not the same thing as SVDO. It needs to be included in the chip, which isn't the case for the EVO...

So many incorrect info in this thread, it's not even funny. Multimode aka EVDO Rev. B? Come again? Multimodal is based on the numerous frequencies working together as one, not the data connection. 1X-Advanced/Rev.A/B, is based on the chip. Nothing in that video stated Sprint switching to...

If people can't tell the difference between WiMax limit of 5MHz, to Clear using 20MHz towards their LTE, then this conversation is dead in the water. It's no comparison when it comes to speeds, and I was already a witness to their real life speeds. Indoor signal should be a little bit better...

Clearwire is heading towards TD-LTE, later upgrading to LTE-Advanced. They are not immediately going towards the latter. Clearwire also didn't chose to use Sprint's Network Vision, short reason being negotiations tactic. Smart move though without Sprint's funding, they are not deploying this...

Doesn't matter if find the device to be overrated or a gem, it will outsell any Android device in their lineup, while bringing an island of defectors with it. It's a business decision that has more pros than cons right now. Sprint can't afford to be the only major U.S. carrier without it, and...

The channels Clear used for the testing, was approved by the FCC in May. It was real life numbers being shown in the video, but that means nothing once the network is officially active with subscribers. The speeds I've witnessed in person were the fastest speeds out of the carriers, but it...

Sprint's iphone won't be the reason for tiered data, LTE will. Verizon was the first carrier to mention this move, and AT&T agreed with them. VZW's iPhone was in testing at the time, but it's not like their network was taking a beating over it. Sprint knows that being the only carrier with...

CDMA 1X Advanced in the 800Mhz, Multimodal LTE/WiMax in all 3 frequencies. If this deal is official, they may add 1.6Ghz. (L-Band) Dish Network, SpectrumCo, and Cox may or may not be in talks with Sprint about a possible network sharing deal.

The fact that clay sent all of those invites, yet received zero thanks for it, kinda kills the point of the thanks button. I'm curious to see if this loophole still works. Good thread.

Read it in its entirety, and Clearwire received good support on this proposal. FCC adopted it, but they are seeking more comment on the affect of widening the channels. Knowing the limits of WiMax, this was a major move towards their LTE testing, and other future 4G technology, though this...

Minus the fact that changes will be made to their network, switching to DO Advanced when it's officially available would be the wisest thing to do. Rev. B is a second option, as it's already included in most of their high end devices. Sent from the Sensation 4G with T-Mobile.

Sprint in no way told HTC to encrypt the bootloader, as it doesn't benefit them in any way. The carriers aren't stupid, they have full knowledge of the rooting/jailbreak community, but they aren't taking drastic measures to fight it. This situation is definitely in the hands of the manufacturers.

I'm not sure how someone at Qualcomm could get you an HTC leak or stupid enough to admit to providing a leak, but a tentative date is doable. The bootloader situation is high priority level to HTC, so isn't like they reneged on their deal. People thinking they were going to see the Bootloaders...

How can I help? I'm willing to sacrifice my pre-production device with no worries. Is their anything in particular you want to know from HTC, involving this process? I meet with them on Friday.

No they didn't, but it was like I said before. The device already went gold, so there was no way for them to update them all on time. HTC sent out a memo discussing the state of the bootloaders, and are working hard to keep their promise through a OTA update. The memo was dated on Tuesday.

Yeah, copy my quote in your email. Props to Neil though, he's actually giving you feedback on the matter and supplying documents for it. Clearwire asking for the proposal tells you that they are serious about LTE, and are planning the switch with Sprint.

The agenda Neil is referring too, is not the same proposal Clearwire wanted. Neil's response : Two different proposals. BRS and EBS vs BSS and DBS

Even though people are going nuts off of unofficial news, LightSquared is paying Sprint that over 15 years, not the other way around. Not sure how you read it the other way around. 2 Billion per year, like what the poster above me said.

Wow, you're not playing lol. Majority were going crazy over the EVO 3D news, Photon, or iPhone news, and you didn't forget. So Mr. Grace said it was approved before the meeting. Where is the 11-81 document at? @hausx: What you've posted is what me and slaughter is referring to. @crabjoe...

Could you provide me the link of Clear getting the clear from FCC? Their June 9th proposal was scrapped, which means either means postpone for a later date, or nixed completely. I'm going to wait for official news with Sprint, Clearwire, and Cox, before I speak on the matter. Your post is the...

There was a time when Sprint announced that they will activate any Verizon phone on their network. I can't remember if Verizon sued them, or if Sprint backed out. It was a very huge deal. Sent from the Sensation 4G.

I have a pet peeve that's really irking me. The EVO 3D is not the successor to the EVO 4G. It's another high end device to their EVO family. EVO 2 was meant to be another device, but both companies agreed that the EVO 3D will be a bigger game changer. It'll come out, but won't have the...

You don't have to be a reviewer or a blogger, in order to receive a device early. What is it that they do? Internal testers, Research & Development within Sprint, HTC, Google, and Qualcomm. WiMax engineer working with those said companies Google employee. Investors, celebrities, etc. Again, do...

We are living in a society where people can't like two different things at once. They always have to justify their device, by downplaying yours. Phones, carriers, artists, athletes, even religion. What personally makes me laugh that you have certain Sprint customers thinking SG II is...

People PM me, asking me questions pertaining to technical stuff, software and job related. I answer their questions in detail, and what do I get in return? Absolutely nothing, not even a PM back. Ok, so maybe they're too busy with their real life affairs, so they couldn't respond back to me...

HTC Kingdom and a Motorola Slider are two that I know of. Heard a whisper of them carrying the Pre 3, but that was a while ago.

Sprint including 800mhz ESMR at the final hour, will give the phone 1X Advanced support once it's included in that frequency. 1X Advanced doesn't mean automatic SVDO. It's a complimentary feature that will be included in Qualcomm's future devices, but unfortunately it's not available in the...

Official, no. Testing, yes. Samsung could easily give a CDMA developer the device, but it'll be discreet until the carrier announcement. This was a good move by Samsung, but don't forget about the Nexus One and EVO 4G. Classy move by Samsung, but nothing HTC haven't done before and more...

Really? Let me try doing it with 4 different devices. Is it WiFi and Bluetooth both on, or is it separately? Edit: Tried the Thunderbolt, Sensation 4G, Inspire 4G, Droid Charge, and the trusty EVO. WiFi and Bluetooth : no problems.

I don't have my pre-production EVO 3D, but a test Sensation 4G. I did the death grip 4 times, and nothing happened. I've never encounter that mistake on any HTC device I've had in my possession. Then again, why would I hold it that way? I take those test as if Apple are suffering with that...

I think I was semi right, but I may have misplaced the dates. Last Evo release was a Friday, not a Sunday. If this was in my thought process, I would have been right weeks ago lol. I was good money on the pricing before the leak hit the web though. Off contract should be $549. Since you work...

This phone doesn't have those capabilities. Thunderbolt's LTE MDM9600 have SVDO support, while the EVO's MSM8660 doesn't. 4G/Wi-Fi only. Sent from the Infuse 4G with AT&T.

Locked bootloader is not the reason for the initial relay, as this internal problem has been going on before CTIA. There wasn't a release date because the device wasn't final production ready. People want them to announce a date 2 months in advance, when no other carrier does that. I can't...

Editing is not my style, unless spelling errors was involved or I wanted to add additional info to my post. That, and I think I was already quoted lol. Completely forgot about a Friday release, even though I knew it was the 4th. The two tentative dates provided to me was two sundays...

How is it that people reading that post, and not the one with me correcting myself, right after? It has to be on the same page. Sent from the Infuse 4G with AT&T.

The Thunderbolt supports both MSM8655 and MDM9600, which have SVDO support. This is not the case with the Droid Charge and LG Revolution. Also, the LG Revolution is the only phone that have VOLTE support, on their network.

Yeah, I think you need to scroll up.

Yeah, you're right. Spoke to someone else, and they said they've purchased on a Friday. I honestly didn't remember that at all, though I was never a part of the purchasing process as a customer in years. Was that Sprint first time releasing on a Friday? Every tentative date I've seen or...

Technically, it was released at Best Buy on a Friday, towards their Reward Zone Members who pre-ordered early. Sprint didn't sell the device until Sunday, and likewise with Radio Shack, Best Buy ( regular people who pre-ordered) , and other outlets selling the EVO. Confusing, but not. June...

74 MB though? Really? Thank God for App to SD. al3xxx92, PM me. It's only free today from Amazon, so posting the game would be considered warez.

Delayed because of software issues, like I said. HTC wasn't the reason for the delay. June is a go, because the device is final production ready, and July is the Motorola launch. The internal problems is nothing as serious as the initial Thunderbolt testing. As for the Network Vision...
