I hate that virgin mobile phones don't work with the airave.now i have to roam for the week.

I didn't know that they don't work with the airave. That seems dumb to me that Sprint doesn't allow that.

 

Those Airaves, who knows what ISPs they have been with. Virgin Mobile phones have to maintain their purity.

This sucks i don't think there's a long term fix for this hopefully there's an update that will fix it.

 

Fix what? I have the Airvana one and it works fine with the EVO LTE.

Not everyone has this problem

 

I have a friend who also has one with an EVO 4GLTE and he doesn't have the issue. I need to go over to his house to see if I get the beeps with his airvana. If I do then I know it is phone related. if I don't then I know it is Airvana issues.

Was the proximity sensor/touch tone issue ever resolved?

 

Just realized I too have this. Now i understand why i've had such difficulty navigating touch tone menus.

 

I have a airrave 2.0 here.

 

My chat with sprint airrave support was not too useful. They are aware of the issue (apparently for some months now), but no resolution yet.

 

The rep suggested speaker phone or BT... Wonderful..

No I just had my airave replaced with the new one 2.5 and it still does it. The easiest way to find out if you have this problem is call your voicemail and wave your hand over the proxy sensor.

So they have tried multiple times to fix my issue to no avail. Somehow in all of this they reset my upgrade eligibility and am eligible for upgrade as of Nov 1. I checked with Best Buy and they told me buy back would be $350 on my EVO so I am going to go ahead and get the Note II this weekend. I love the EVO but with this issue and with the LTE radio issues that have been reported on this phone I think it is time to move on. :)

If they offer you $350 for your EVO, take it. Sprint offered me $123 for my GS3 yesterday. I laughed.

As far as the evo, 350 is an awesome trade in amount. You would have a hard time finding a buyer for 350, best buy is taking it in the shorts in that deal.

I get 350 because I bought the $9 buy back guarantee so if you sell it back to them within 6 months it is 50% of full retail, 6-12 months 40%, 12-18, 30%, 18-24 20%

 

since they guarantee'd me $150 at the 2 year mark I thought it was a good purchase. They have recently done away with the program. I didn't know I would be able to trade it before the 6 month mark :)

My method of testing was real simple. Call myself from another phone. Answer on the evo, then continue holding the other phone to my ear. I'd toggle the prox sensor a number of times, hearing a touch tone with each toggle.

 

I then restored an old cm image and repeated the test. No touch tone. Restored the sense backup and repeated. No touch tone. We'll see how long this lasts, but appears to be at least partially connected to sense.

the issue is due to issues on sprint backend you cannot do a phone upgrade/swap or profile update or prl update whle on the airave. what happens is your phone only sees the airave and doesn't get a correct update. if you want to do any of these things head to a regular sprint tower service area. it's the easiest way to avoid frustrations.

    • 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.
