HTC EVO 4G :: Wimax Vs HSPA Or LTE
Mar 29, 2010
I was just thinking yesterday about download speeds and such and I remembered, just 10 years ago a T1 line was the standard for any real business to have internet access. T1 was so expensive also. only the people with real money could afford one to their home. T1 is a dedicated 1.5Mbps.
I could do anything I wanted with a T1 line.
Wimax will give me more then a T1. Why do I care about theoretical speeds that HSPA+ or LTE will give me? I don't.

I have my Desire on the Telus network, and I noticed that the icon on the top bar shows and "H" instead of 3G. Is 3G the same has HSPA? I know Telus runs the HSPA+ network but I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with my settings or device.

I always thought H to signify HSPA, which is normally what shows as my connection when in areas of good reception for O2 in the UK, so why does it sometimes show up with 3G? is that not the same thing, isint HSPA 3G?

Trying out a vibrant. The T-Mo rep told me it used the hspa plus network. Now i read the the first hspa plus phone for T-Mo will the HTC vision/vibrant. Was i lied to? It is a bit of a moot point, if the vision/vanguard has a bigger screen and real keyboard i will be re boxing the vibrant and limping the G1 into September.

HTC G2 appearance wise look like the Nexus 2, but hardware it's a different beast. i just saw this HSPA+ result from android central and i cant believe. T-mobile might have the worst coverage, but where i live, it's pretty damage good and comparable to Sprint 4G. But seeing this, it totally blew my mind away. Is it possible??

I bought a Htc Desire which is a Telus phone it is supposed to be unlocked and runs on Hspa 1900mhz and 850 mhz, but Sasktel's website says that it doesn't seem to be compatible. So the question is why? It appears this device is not compatible with the SaskTel 3G+ network. If you believe your device should be compatible and the tool does not recognize it, please bring it to a SaskTel store or authorized dealer for more information.

I love the fact that CM6 offers vanilla froyo (sense is awful), but still no Wimax? Is it really that hard?

Using Clockworkmod recovery, I flashed the HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 Final (3.26.651.6) Odexed ROM from here. I also flashed the Radio update as well as the Wimax update.
The first two seem to work, since I see Android version 2.2 and Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28 in phone info. I downloaded the latest Wifi Tether for Root, installed it and got it to work successfully.
However, the Wimax was not updated. Android Terminal Emulator still shows the older version "4.6.2.2v25641_" and not 26023. I believe I did the flashing correctly, rebooting after each update. I tried it both with ROM Manager, as well as manually. I didnt see any issues/errors while flashing.

Can someone explain this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
It has the Radio / Wimax / PRI / NV
I understand in concept that the radio is the 3G cellular antenna, and Wimax is 4G, and that you could have various versions that may differ in different ROMs, correct?
What is PRI?
And what is NV? Who do these things do?

How to use WiMAX LED on HTC EVO for SMS/MMS notifications
"Since the notification LED on the left side of the HTC EVO 4G's earpiece isn't customizable, you can't tell if a flashing green light means a missed call, SMS/MMS, email, alarm, reminder, or voicemail without turning on the phone and looking at the screen. Wouldn't visual notifications be more useful if the WiMAX LED on the right side of the earpiece displayed some of them too? Then you could get a better idea of what was going on more quickly and decide whether it was worth stopping whatever you were doing to deal with it. Text messages, for example, are almost always important, so why not assign SMS/MMS notifications to the WiMAX LED?
Here's how you do it:
1. Download bludragon742's WiMAX Notifier. The latest version (10.09.06), released earlier this week, doesn't require root and can be used for SMS/MMS (stock messaging app, Handcent, and Chomp have been tested). Later versions will support missed calls, Gmail, and voicemail. Install it on your EVO and launch it to adjust the settings.
2. Choose your desired LED color and blinking rate from the list: green slow, green glow, green & red alternate, orange glow, red solid, green solid, orange solid. Press Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Notification flash.
3. Uncheck the SMS/MMS option so that the standard notification LED does not blink when a message is received.
Now whenever you get a new SMS or MMS, the WiMAX LED will let you know about it. And when the notification LED goes off at other times, you'll know it's not because of a text message"

Clear recently suggested that if they want they can switch over to LTE. Now does that mean that the EVO that is said to work on Wimax will be able to be used on LTE? This is a HUGE question and a determining factor in my purchase of the first Wimax phone.

i know the greatest android phone ever is coming out on friday, but i have a slight concern about wimax. it seems to be a losing technology compared to lte which has support from 3 of the 4 big carriers, and im scared wimax will go the way of hd dvd before our contracts are over. anyone else have that thought?

This is a confirmed fix for the long lag time (5+ minutes) to reconnect after losing a 4G signal.
Those of us using a rom with the newest software 1.47.651.1 have been having issues with the 4G connection not reconnecting when losing 4G signal. These instructions fix this problem.
Requirements:
Your MSL code (See Here: [How To] Retrieve MSL CDMA Workshop Method - xda-developers)
Instructions:
Turn OFF your 4G radio if it is turned on!
1) Click on phone and dial ##DATA# (##3282#)
2) Click on "Edit Mode"
3) Type in your MSL code (see above if you don't have it yet)
4) Click on the menu entry "WiMAX"
5) Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Scan_Retry(s)"
6) Enter the number 15 and click "OK" (This equals 15 seconds instead of 300 seconds)
7) Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Entry_Delay(s)"
8) Enter the number 0 and click "OK" (This equals 0 seconds instead of 300 seconds)
9) Press the "Menu" key and click on "Commit Modifications"
10) Grab a cup of coffee, get a bite to eat, or sit back and wait for your EVO to restart
Testing:
1) Go to your phone's settings and click on "Wireless & networks"
2) Scroll down and click on 4G settings
3) Click on 4G to turn it on and wait for the status to change to "Connected to Sprint"
4) Without touching any of the menu items, cover the top half of your phone with your hands until the status changes to "Scanning..."
5) Uncover the top of the phone and count the seconds until it says "Connecting to Sprint"
6) Realize that you no longer have to cycle the 4G radio to reconnect
Result:
After modifying my EVO and my girlfriend's EVO and inputting these changes, the phone will reconnect to the 4G tower in as little as 20 seconds!
Yes, 20 seconds, the most I have seen so far is 30 seconds after dropping the connection. This is a HUGE improvement over the 5+ minutes to reconnect (300+ seconds).

Today I installed AnyCut and in the activities list it had "WiMAX settings".
Anybody have any idea why this would be in there? I know if the phone were 4g capable it would be LTE not WiMAX.

I've been enjoying my evo so far with one huge complaint. I don't think wimax 4g is even worth having right now. First it is a battery hog, and second building penetration is terrible....i stay on wifi most of the time but when I do turn 4g it just doesn't am practical. Another thing is that sprint is really advertising this as a 4g phone but for the normal customer I would think they would beupset that their signal isn't reliable...well the point of this thread its to see how everybody else feels about wimax. And for those who want to call me a troll you can check my history.

You can manage wifi connectivity, and you can kind of manage 3G, but what about 4G, more specifically WiMAX? I saw an API on ClearWire's website, but I am not sure if Google is planning to include WiMAX as part of the SDK. Does anyone have an insight? I am looking for connect/disconnect functionality, failover connection settings, etc.

Does doing a clean wipe for a ROM install erase any previous radio / wimax updates? I switched from Fresh 1.0 to Backed Snack but did a radio and wimax updates with Fresh. Should I re-apply those updates after flashing the Baked Snack ROM or are they still updated from the Fresh 1.0 ROM?

I just realized my 4g isn't working on Fresh 3.1.0.2. Maybe I didn't understand which ROM have 4g working. but I thought Fresh did. I just updated both my Radio and WiMax to the latest, and it is still stuck on scanning.

using Clearwire WiMax Innovation Network in Silicon Valley. The speed is unbelievable. Perhaps it is because the network is open only for the developers. If this kind of connectivity and speed is available to the public, then it will be awesome.
Instead of the PC, can I use Android phone to access this network. I can connect the WiMAX modem through the USB on my phone. But I may need the WiMAX system software.

I have an Android application that uses URLConnection to connect to a REST service and gets some content. I am getting a ton of complaints that it doesn't work over a 4G connection like WiMAX, though it works fine over WiFi or 3G connections. Is there anything special I have to do before attempting the REST request to allow it to use the 4G connection? I am using Android 2.2. This is very hard to test as I only have Droid and a HTC Hero to work with.
