its nice to be able to use the internet while on a call

[ANTHONY81L]

im so glad i can use the web with 3g or wifi while im on a phone call . we were so late with this technology but atleast its here . on another note dialing 611 gives a nice new feature as well .. try it out. and one more bonus note ebay has lots of different color metal back battery covers . i just got the chrome one in the mail yesterday, using it with the black and grey bumper case looks so good . BEST PHONE EVER MADE TO DATE

Personally I don't like metal backed covers [one reason samsung used polycarbonate] is because metal has a tendency to absorb / reflect signals. Some evo LTE users complain about signal and they wonder why?

It's new since it on 3g, and many user don't have wimax so the feature is new to them as well.

Yeah, maybe 15-20 percent of Sprint customers actually have access to WiMax.

I was new to me when I discovered it for myself yesterday.

I look forward to that since wimax was hit or miss here.

Instead if dialing straight to sprint it gives u a new menu . U can click call sprint .. u can run a test on your connection .. prl update .. just a bunch of nice options . Sprint is really stepping it up . If they get they're lte in as many places as Verizon they will be the top dog .

Internet access via wifi and talking on the phone has been a feature of pretty mcuh any cell phone that was wifi capable. Glad your happy about it. SVDO is something I am very happy about personally ( dual 3g channels for voice and data at the same time).

Had anyone tried running speedtest during a voicecall? I am under the impression that he speeds migt only be 1x

611 is the same thing you could do before by dialing *2

 

[ANTHONY81L]

yes i understood that it was capable during wimax . i meant its great that no matter what connection u have now u can make calls and search the web . this is really a great great phone . alot of people didnt think it was going to be bc the speeds werent blowing the s2 away as far as opening an app , web , icon theming ect... but when u really go thru every single option in the settings and every feature mixed with all the bells and whistles there is no phone that comes close . i sold my s2 and promised to ship it thur the 21st . so when best buy informed me the s3 was going to be late i bought the EVO LTE with plans to exchange it when the s3 came out which was only 2 days later. i absolutely hated the EVO . very boring . reset itself atleast 4 times a day for no reason. there wasnt much i did like about it at all . THIS PHONE REALLY TAKES THE CAKE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.

Don't worry about it, you're correct and he's wrong/didn't read.

 

[j1mmyc]

Sorry tried to edit right after I posted but I'm not allowed. It did the same thing at least on the e4gt but the menu looked different
I wasn't trying to be rude or weird or anything my only point was u can also dial *2

 

[Becoming]

I noticed that Sprint Zone pops up now when you dial *2 and it never used to do that. Granted I almost never have need to dial that anyway.

I guess a screenshot might clear up the difference if there is one.

*hugs all around*
