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.

    • Checked just now and found a 56MB GP System update pending...will follow up after install.    Edit:  Confirmed that this one moved from August to September 1 after updating.
    • Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
