I know with the newer phones SVDO is supposed to be a possibility after NV. Well found out today that on my GS3 I can do it now in a non-NV area(Kentucky). No I wasn't on Wifi or LTE. Anybody else tried to do it?

I've been loving me some wonderful SVDO since late May. I'm in a non NV market.

I have double checked my SVDO capabilities several times since getting the GS3 and EVO LTE. However, I really don't have the need for simultaneous voice and data, for the most part.

I haven't used it as much as i used to now that i have cable internet at home, plus the issues i had with my first Viper and the severe battery drain, but when necessity arises, I'll be using it a lot again.

Thanks to the first phone being defective, yes. However, when i first got it i could easily go 10-12 hours with no problem. Now i have to keep it plugged in all the time.

If anyone is running a custom ROM, you might want to check of the ROM is written to support SVDO. The last 2 CM10 ROMs I ran did not support SVLTE. I didn't even notice until I saw someone complain about it at xda.

My old job allowed me to use my cell during work as long as I wasn't on the phone, which sometimes could be for about an hour. Having the iphOne on AT&T was the best, being able to look up movie times and make reservations while on the phone with a friend. I'm excited for it to start showing up in more sprint phones. Hopefully the new iPhone will finally bring it over to CDMA networks.

I also enjoy svdo capabilities as well. I travel a lot so I spend at least 65% of my time away from home, so any chance I get I am on the phone with my girl talking. It is so convenient to send and receive emails for work or maybe even taking a funny picture and sending to her while we are talking. If you are the kind of person that really don't use that many minutes then I can see it not being a big deal but for someone like me who use about 4 hours of talk time every day when I am out of town then its a very nice feature to have.

Yeah, I use about 2 hours a month, so it's nearly pointless for me

When I am actually at home, an average of about two weeks at a time, I probably don't even accumulate an hour of actual talk time in those two weeks so if I didn't travel my usage would probably be the same as yours.

Is it a uniquely device dependent feature? I could have sworn it also required network side support.

 

No, none at all. Go use SVDO while EV-DO roaming. It will work.

      T-Mobile interferes with NextWave's network, FCC finds https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-interferes-with-nextwave-s-network-fcc-finds At this point, T-Mobile should just open up the checkbook and pay whatever it takes together rid of NextWave for good.

      Flashback (January 11, 2018): Sprint Says No to mmWave, Yes to Mobile 5G https://www.lightreading.com/5g/sprint-says-no-to-mmwave-yes-to-mobile-5g Sprint's CTO said Wednesday that he is not sure that using millimeter waves to deliver 5G services is a practical economic use of the high-band spectrum and that Sprint will be focusing on using its existing bandwidth to deploy 5G, at least initially. "What is the cost to deliver a bit over millimeter waves? Where is the business case on that?" John Saw asked at the Citi conference in Las Vegas. The logic here is that using sub-6GHz networks to deliver 5G -- Sprint Corp. (NYSE: S) is using 2.5GHz -- will allow operators to get better coverage than mmWave (typically 28GHz or 39GHz) and re-use its infrastructure.

      It looks like they have 700mhz of 24ghz n258 in those areas anyway. Seems like they've been trying to streamline mmw to just n258 anyway.

      New n261 license reduction for Brooklyn and Queens kinda gives insight into T-Mobile's mmWave plans going forward. While it sucks that they aren't going to widely deploy it in the outer boroughs, they chose great areas to retain the license. Downtown Flushing, Long Island City, Dumbo, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg all make the cut which is pretty obvious given their density.  I'm surprised to see Red Hook make it in and the entire waterfront along Sunset Park. Maybe they plan on some mmWave small cells along 1st Ave in Industry City. Also looks like they retained the license in the party section of Bushwick/East Williamsburg where Elsewhere, House of Yes, Brooklyn Mirage, etc. all are so that would be cool to see get covered in mmWave. In Queens they scooped up Citi Field, Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, and all of Flushing Meadows Park which should be helpful for all of the festivals that take place in that part of Queens. Also looks like they kept the license for LGA but not for JFK.
