Band 2 is the PCS A-F blocks, while Band 25 is PCS G (the nationwide block where Sprint LTE is lighting up first). That gives Sprint the flexibility to put LTE on its lower PCS bands if needed as well. Might also allow some LTE roaming opportunities with MetroPCS.

 

There's no technical reason not to support both Band 2 and Band 25, since they're adjacent spectrum-wise, silly E-UTRA nomenclature notwithstanding, so hopefully the Galaxy Nexus and Viper will also support both.

The GNex does...https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=824008&typ=8374&fcc_id=%27A3LSPHL700%27

 

So does the Viper. But I cannot find that FCC OET in a quick search.

Nope, not exactly. Band class 25 is a superset band class that wholly encompasses band class 2. In short, band class 25 is PCS blocks A-G, while band class 2 is only PCS A-F blocks. So, a device that supports band class 25 by definition also supports band class 2 (but not the other way around).

quoted you both to get your attention on this ?

 

http://www.engadget....voice-hands-on/

 

Sprint's HD Voice:

they stated :

...The smartphone uses dual microphones, along with encoders and decoders to capture and transmit your voice from one equipped device to another -- that's right, for now, you and another caller will both need to be using this specific handset, paired with compatible network access points, which Sprint will begin rolling out shortly as part of its "Network Vision." ...

 

Anyone have any idea what part of NetworkVision has to do with enabling this technology exactly?......

I know this doesnt answer your "HD Voice" question, but this is the fine print Re "HD Voice" from the Sprint website: ."HD Voice requires a call between two HD Voice capable handsets on an HD Voice capable Sprint network. Sprint expects to deploy HD Voice capable networks in the future as part of its Network Vision upgrades."

Whatever it is, Im looking forward to it, the two reviews I've seen of it (Phandroid and Engadget) say it works quite well.

 

Edit: So, my question is: how were they demoing this if it requires Network Vision to operate? COW? Was NV live at the event? Humm?

The technology is EVRC-NW, a successor to the current EVRC codecs that can convey twice the vocal frequency range of those current codecs. The connection to Network Vision is tangential, at best. Basically, the MSCs just have to be configured to support the new codec.

Here is some good info on the EVO 4G LTE's "HD Voice." Based on what I got out of this, the 3x to 4x capacity that Network Vision brings with its 1x-Advanced technology will come in very handy, as HD Voice uses a higher bitrate to increase the voice frequency response.

 

Good info on HD Voice here:

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!

      That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.

      T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.

      Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
