EVO 4G LTE Android Jelly Bean Update 3.15.651.16

I’m excited mainly for offline voice typing and Google Now! Google Now is such a huge feature and I don’t know why more carriers and Google don’t advertise it more often? It blows away Siri but no one even knows what it is. I showed it to a friend of mine who has a GS3 and they didn’t even know they had it! They couldn’t believe how cool it was. I do hope they fixed some of the other bugs but it looks like they fixed some (contacts) according to the doc. I really hope this isn't fake as I would want to do harm to that person, j/k lol. Have a great night boys and hopefully tomorrow we'll be Jellin! Jellin wit Jelly Bean baby! I remember others saying don't bash HTC as they are probably readying 4.2 instead and I told them no chance. I doubt we'll ever see 4.2 on our EVO LTE but if we do maybe around the time the next EVO iteration is being released?

I think the Evo will get it just a question of when. ..

I don't see what all the hoopla of Google Now is, I toyed around with it and took it off. Maybe its the stigma of the idiots talking to their phone on the idumb commercials making dinner that has tainted my judgement.

 

For me it's kinda cool to just have info I didn't have to ask for..

The thing about Google Now is that instead of you going to your device when you want info, Google Now will bring the info to you. Examples like sports scores, etc., are abundant.

 

One other example is in my Calendar. If I has a location in an appointment, not only would it remind me of it, but it would tell me when I would have to leave to make it on time, accounting for traffic, and offered to navigate (this was on CM10 on my LTEvo)

 

I still have a hard time talking to my phone though. feel like a tool if i do it. especially if i have to repeat my request. . . in public. . .

Had Google Now on my old rooted Evo 3D. Actually got pretty annoyed with it after awhile. Sometimes I'd search for different menus of restaurants and then I'd get directions to those restaurants for the next hour or so. It is a cool concept though.

The point with Google Now is you don't have to ask, it already knows. I very rarely talk to my phone. The info is just there.

 

Sent from a phone using an application. That's pretty cool.

contacts issue fix: YES.

LTE scanning improvement: A MUST

Google Now: Mehh... OK

JB smoothness: (it is smooth now with ICS), so don't know how much better it will get.

 

Anyways, any improvements are always welcomed.

(Unless we end up with a new round of problems based on the update)... !!!!! <_<

You might give Google Now a try on a JB device if you haven't already. I know it was kind of patched together to get it to work on ICS and I had problems with it all the time. I've used it a couple of times on my Dad's GS3 and it worked perfectly.

Any update that doesnt causes problems is a good one in my book.

 

PS. Does anybody know if I update via OTA will I lose my unlock/rooted privs?

 

I would not take the OTA. Just wait for your favorite dev to update and then update the radio and such via the bootloader (I'm assuming you are S-OFF).

Sorry, no idea what S-OFF means. I just unlocked the device thru HTC unlock site and rooted thru another computer one-click program. I know I have superuser access and dont want to lose it because of the setting changes I have made to my device.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
