wouldnt it be better if sprint could have phones that could talk and surf at the same time that would be a phone i would buy like the iphone on at&t

 

It is a device feature. Many Sprint phones will allow surfing WiMax or WiFi and talking on the phone. The LG Viper and Galaxy Nexus will allow LTE and talking on the phone (SVLTE). And the new EVO LTE will allow 3G, LTE and WiFi simulatenously while talking on the phone (SVDO and SVLTE).

Yep-- the Viper has SVDO like the Rezound and Thunderbolt-- and apparently, the LTE EVO as well! All LTE phones do SVLTE just like WiMax phones did voice with WiMax (I guess-- never witnessed WiMax in operation).

SVWiMax works great when you get a good WiMax signal.

 

Edit: I'd be perfectly happy with SVDO if nothing else was available.

Wait the viper has the MDM chip in it the same as the rezound?.....ha Duh. LOL silly oversight there by me if that's the case.

I appreciate the SVDO and SVLTE features we now enjoy, but I have to wonder how you can surf much with the phone against your face? I always thought this was a pretty dumb, mostly useless feature.

Agreed. I can just imagine a bunch of people using speakerphone in a nice peaceful restaurant so they can also use data.

Speakerphone works great, or bluetooth and wired headsets make that happen.

And when they fully implement PTT on CDMA and you have to listen to someone blaring their conversation on speaker in the checkout line at Wally World.

Let me reenact someone talking on the phone and surfing at the same time: ". . . . . . . . . . . uh huh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . uh huh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . uh huh . . . . . . . . . . uh yeah, I'm listening."

I think the for me the mayor part of the problem is if your downloading something, it stops and then resume. That would be great to download a ROM over LTE and call someone at the same time to tell them, don't call me, i'm gonna be fixing my phone. Yes, i have to admit it, i'm a flashaholic. :unsure:

I dont remember anyone complaining about this until the giant 3G/footprint whore off that verizon and att had a few years ago, when att finally settled in saying " the network that allows you to talk -and- text in more places" bla bla bla.

 

If 100 people value the feature, id imagine that about 10 of them have a real world opportunity to benefit from it while the other 90 have had their mind made up since they saw the att commercial where the guy " made reservations for his girls bday while she reminded him about her bday" .... and thought to themselves " that could be me"

I do occassionally use simultaneous voice and web. It doesnt happen for me when Im barrelling down the highway at 75mph. Im usually at my office, my home or one of the many state offices around New Mexico I visit.

 

Someone calls me. They say they sent me something to look at, and often it's my wife, and they want me to look at it and discuss with them on the phone.

 

However, Im almost always on WiFi when this happens. And sometimes when at state offices in Santa Fe, Farmington and Albuquerque I can sometimes be on WiMax too. So I can do simulataneous voice and web without issues.

 

For me, it is only an issue when Im driving. And Im not going to use it then anyway. I just tell the offending party I will check it out when I get to my destination because Im busy avoiding other insane New Mexican drivers.

 

And simultaneous voice and LTE will be more than sufficient in the long term, because Sprint is taking LTE over its entire footprint. Once you have LTE coverage, you can talk and surf to hearts desire.

It's really annoying when my downloads fail because someone called me' date=' especially if it happens to be a large file. Also, wifi calling would be nice.[/quote']

 

I never download "large" files via 3G. I even have 1Mbps+ speeds. Its too slow for large files. I download large files on WiFi.

 

The largest things I ever download on 3G are occassional apps and songs. Usually 3 to 4 MB, tops.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
