EVO 4G LTE Android Jelly Bean Update 3.15.651.16

Poking around so far: the default LTE scan timer seems to have been decreased from 30 to 5; I can't remember what the "BSR Max Timer" setting was before, but now it's 4. It doesn't seem to have cleared the LTE Available file.

Did the PRI and or baseband modem change too?

Yeah, it has that "Sprint Connection Optimizer" line in it that people saw in that document "leak" a month or so back and people wondered if that had something to do with an LTE fix.

You'll have to download a rooted rom that doesn't check for Sprints locked Recovery or Boot sectors. XDA will have such versions of the rom available to be flashed from TWRP by the end of the day.

 

I'm having a problem... I have TWRP, and unfortunately instead of my phone updating, it went directly to TWRP.... I have no idea how to update it... I'm so sad right now

To be honest, I had many problems with CM10, that I decided to go back to htc sense, but that almost bricked my phone. I think I want to remove twrp.

You'll need to wait for a dev to get a stock ROM out. I don't think you can apply the OTA with TWRP still installed.

I'm interested in seeing how this performs with LTE now, as far as the problems we've been having. And of course we need Robert to redo all the work he's already done comparing all the phones (kidding kidding :))

Phone seems slower now. Also not a fan of the blue accents and the smaller keyboard.

 

Edit: actually they just removed the arrows by default. The height difference through me off.

 

After these types of major updates, I think its always best to just do a hardreset and just start from scratch.

Its much easier for me to do it since I had to hard reset this morning. Nothing there to lose now! :P

Does not seem to have fixed the LTE connection issue.

I still have to toggle airplane mode

How about the connection jumping around? If it holds LTE longer and stays connected in places you normally wouldn't get it... I would say it has improved then.

Forgive my ignorance, but the LTE issue is that the device will not see the LTE and/or never connect to it, or just hold onto LTE even when there is no service?

 

I'm about to fire up my LTEvo and try out this update, just curious.

Here are my first impressions.

 

1. Other than the notification and the google apps, I wouldn't have known the difference between HTC version of ICS and Jelly Bean.

 

2. I think they have done a much better job with the LTE connections. I drove around for a little while and only lost LTE once, in a low spot. Once I got to the top LTE acquired again. I also did the same test that I had done previously, which was to drive down a road until I lost the LTE signal and turn around. Under ICS, it never acquired LTE, under Jelly Bean it re-acquired LTE about half way back.

 

 

So far impressed, I would like to see it acquire LTE everymorning when I drive on 151st towards the tower that I know has LTE. We will see.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets.

    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
