The EVO 4G LTE got caught juicing. You don't seriously believe that a phone could get that big yet stay that slim by natural means, do you?

AJ

Its funny you should ask. Just got a doc yesterday that still says 6/10 launch. They are also having some issues in the lab. I'm not optimistic on an early release.

weird it'd be failing stuff in the "lab" at this point though....less its just minor software OS bugs and not radio related really...

I posted it failed the ped test on the mik and only one person asked what it was and wanted a link lmao

[EarlyMon]

For the many frustrated here and writing to me on AF, and upset that explanations are not forthcoming, so far as I know, a ped test is given to athletes to see if they're on performance boosting drugs and juicing is a way of beating the drug test.

I could be wrong. I often am. Maybe not in this case.

Hope this helps.

ok, now the PED test and juicing can correlated.. But I still don't get it. lol

You may want to try a PRL modified with VZW as a higher priority than Cricket and see if that improves things. I roam on VZW a lot, and have no issues.

Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner

Which PRL would that be? I have tried Corporate PRLs such as 12119 and all of them put me on Cricket.

I just don't get it, that's all. Sorry. Most of the time I get things, but lately some things just don't make sense to me.

Can low ERB values be compensated for with software, or is this value tied to the manufacturing process?

I use PRL 11119. It doe seem to run on Verizon over Cricket. Whereas when I used 11115, it seemed to select Cricket over VZW.

How does VZ get away with charging $299 for its devices?......

The Incridible 4G leaked out again today and initially was tagged at being a mid tier device given the specs of it only having a SLCD qHD display which is what the EVO3D has if im not mistaken...Well that theory is out the window now given the $299 tag that was put on the device on its droiddoes website today briefly...
How they justify charging that for that phone is beyond me...CPU downclocked to 1.2...and older tech screen...just dont get it.

side note:
How AndroidCentral ran a piece saying this device is close in line with the OneS is a lil iffy to me...The OneS leaves the CPU clocked at 1.5, and also has state of the art casing versus the incridible4G LTE...
http://www.androidce...-droiddoes-site

Still shocked that VZ gets away with charging $300 for a device like this...most it should of been was $250 imho given the screen being SLCD qHD and not SLCD2 like the OneX/EVO4GLTE...Also the mere fact that ATT and TMobile are giving theirs away for $199 versus this should be eye opening to VZ users...

I can only guess that VZ refuses to subsidize their phones as much as everyone else....with the only exception being the iPhone...lol

/endrant


Edit:
hoping the price was a mere error from a copy of the Razr page and will be fixed when it goes live...was looking forward to getting this device for the wife but im deff not letting her pay $300 for this spec device...

[timo123451]

I currently get 4g service with my Evo. I'm looking at pre-ordering the Evo 4g lte. Does anyone know if this will get better 3g service than a regular evo? I'm just debating on whether or not I want to wait a year for lte to roll out in the Des Moines area.

Thats always been a Verizon tradition. They know people will shell out the $300 for phones. Most people probably just see a new name and don't realize they are buying older tech.

Yea I actually have both of those. I tried 11115 and it even wouldn't work for me, no network connections while roaming. It connected to Verizon for a little bit and then it just went dead. Well thanks for trying, appreciate it.

I remember hearing something about the separate chip that handles the LTE adding to the cost and the reason Verizon charge that extra $100. To me it is sort of like the Premium Data Fee Sprint charges, they just do it all at one time. Fortunately from what I have read, the Qualcomm S4 Krait, that the EVO 4G LTE has, will do LTE. And if true, that will mean significantly better battery life.
