well apparently the Photon Q supports SVDO so i can be using the 3G EVDO netowrk while on a phone call ;) plus the LTE is very fast i caught a glimpse where i live and the Photon Q held the signal very well :) have a greadt day regards dan lodish

I'm glad my evo LTE does. I love Svdo and I'll love SVLTE WHEN I GET LTE... with G4

SVDO is a thing of the past. It may have been a result if Sprint requesting the manufacturers to put it in the phones, or the chipset just happened to support it. The last phone to include SVDO was the Samsung Galaxy Victory. All phones since then have only included SVLTE except the iPhone, which can't do either. Cherish your SVDO capable phone while you don't have LTE.

I'm thinking about getting used Phonton for my daughter. How good of a phone is it?  I think I read that the RF is not any good in the forum some where.  Is there anything I need to look out for?

I've not had a Moto phone prior to this one, but others have said the reception is not up to normal Moto standards.  That said, it does better than my previous Samsung Epic 4G (1st gen Galaxy S phone) by a good bit in that regard.  The only place I ever have any issue is sometimes in my building at work, but that has nothing to do with my phone nor Sprint either.  I have to carry a Verizon based flipphone for work and it can get sucked down to 1/3rd or less charge just sitting idle in a normal 8 hour workday in that place sometimes.

i have a question about the phone... hows the service with it in low signal areas

I seem to get a little better signal with my Photon 4G then my wife does with her Photon Q. It (the Q) is not bad but not great.

Voice quality seems fine for me in low signal, but I'd have to qualify by saying that I'm 90% of the time under an NV upgraded tower now at work, and my 'low signal' experience is vastly different now than it was prior to the NV upgrade.  Used to I'd struggle to even keep it charged because of how bad the signal was and how it causes the phone to drain in overdrive trying to search and hang onto a signal.  I can get 2 bars easily now in a building that is notoriously bad for cell signals.   And I should note that this is before 1x800 even has been deployed here yet.

I just got my Photon Q (Preowned) and it will be little bit hot when on LTE (even just sitting there not using it).

Anyway I can have Sprint exchange it?

Ask Sprint at your local store or the chat in sprint.com

    • 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.
