Fortunately, they have lifetime warranties on their cases, but I agree. The flap over my head phone port has been tearing as of late. That's why I decided to try out the Ballistic Maxx case to see if it is more durable.

I've done the warranty exchange once with my EVO 3d. Then when I got my EVO LTE the rubberized shell seemed more durable than the last one on my EVO 3D. After a while the same thing happened so I purchased a commuter case it started to wear out too. So now I use Seidio cases.

I bought that same case for my wife's G2. She likes the Commuter that she has had on her 3D. I just don't trust the level of protection compared to the Defender that I have on mine.

I don't like the defenders because the rubber shell starts to gets loose and not fit around the hard piece all the way. Also the parts that cover the ports start to tear up also.

thats just weird.... why would it do that! correct me if im wrong but doesnt 1x reach farther than lte??

There's a variety of different reasons why but just because you are connected to sprint 1x on a certain tower. You could be connected to evdo on another vice versa.

This happens often with the LTE devices that I know of. Sometimes you will roam on 1x while connected to sprint LTE.

I believe when Sprint is done with their build. They won't be the fastest but they will have the best overall experience while being unlimited. Unlike the big two that has tiered data in place and still getting bogged down.

I've convinced my fiancée and my relatives that sprint will be a lot better in the future. Also people that I know with sprint are noticing the service is getting better and they are getting LTE everywhere they go around town. One of my friends went and switch to the my way plan because he said he's going to be with sprint for life and he wants unlimited.

Now that tri band phones are about to be released us sprint customers can show others what they are missing out on.

Maybe the towers in that area is getting worked on and possibly 3G complete. Now that the one max is tri band I can't wait to get my hands on it.

ENGADGET WAS WRONG! HTC's website shows Tri-Band. You have to go through the UK site!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Sprint: FDD 800/1900 MHz, TDD 2600 MHz

I know what my next phone is!!!!

Definitely getting this phone on launch day. Engadget had me depressed for an hour or so.

The phone as the One is awesome, as the MAX, a flop. S600 should be a S800, should have a stylus, should be tri-band. I think HTC just finalized their doom. Hopefully there is a market for a phablet without a stylus.

I don't think the phone is going to be a flop. The s600 won't be the down fall either. HTC should have included s pen type features that's what is going to make people choose a different device.

The lack of tri band is what's keeping me from purchasing this device.

Well, I can scratch this phone off my list too. If I decide to get any of these newer devices it won't be on the sprint network.

If this phone doesn't have wifi then that just ridiculous!

 

Even basic feature phones have wifi. It's a typo.

Who needs Wi-Fi when you have tri band..... Lol it has to be a typo

Today I'm at work and I'm trying to make a phone call and the call would not go through at all. My phone showed bars but when I placed a call it did nothing. So I'm driving down the road past the sprint site and saw workers adding NV panels. The strange thing is that the workers removed the legacy gear while they were installing the panels. Has anyone here seen this before?

I know usually sprint installs the NV gear then at a later date then remove legacy equipment when the site is 3g accepted.

Tmo is pretty much just software upgrades for LTE where as sprint is completely new hardware and backhaul, pretty much building from the ground up right?

Sprint is replacing everything except the tower itself. All the wiring, all the base station hardware, and the panels. Tmo isn't doing that. Also tmo has fiber back haul in place already which makes things happen faster. Back haul has been one of sprints biggest issues.

Ouch! I wish Sprint speeded it up. TMo is making them look pretty bad... In less than six months they've accomplished more than Sprint has in twice as long

Tmo build out is very different than what sprint is going.

Does this help in restoring faith in the triband LTE?

 

The service manual for the LS980 shows triband LTE support.

I sure hope your right. I'm dying to get off this EVO LTE I'm even considering a note 3 with galaxy gear at this point. But I've seen clear TD work going on with my own eyes so that's the only thing that keeps me from getting the note 3.

I have a feeling that the G2 will be single band also. I'm running out of faith for sprint devices being released in 2013.

Not all in markets as AJ said before. It varies market to market.

In my market vz operates voice in 1900 and I believe att is 850. I could be wrong about at though.

There definitely more TD LTE out there than you think. Its a lot faster process than NV vision that's going on. It requires a lot less work.

Well Sprint and T-Mobile both have the opportunity to take customers away from the big two. The pricing is there Sprint and T-Mobile both needs to expanding their coverage and building penetration. Also they could boost their advertising budget and run more commercials and ads to grasp the attention of potential customers. I see countless commercials from T and VZ boasting about their coverage and network speeds. Some customers automatically assume that because they see the ads on TV all day long that the commercials must be truthful.

As much as people here wants it to happen. I don't think it is good for competition. Tmo and sprint combined will have more customers and spectrum to compete with the big two but the only thing that will end up happening is the new company will price their plans within a couple bucks as the big two then we the consumers lose and the only options we will have other than the new big three would be mvno carriers.

Well its great that the storm isn't coming this way because I've been seeing a lot of clear TD LTE work being done in Jax. For anyone that is in Jax with an upgrade coming hold it until tri band.

Well I guess here the Verizon employee did confirm 800 prochttp://www.talkandroid.com/178173-htc-one-max-images-show-the-phablet-with-verizon-logo/Now we just need a leak pointing to triband LTE :-)Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

It has a removable back too. I wonder if it has SD card support

The battery life of the Note 3 is excessive. It's been on for 6 hours with 3 hours screen on time, I'm only down to 71%. Compared to my old Gnex which could only take 3 hours of screen on time before dying lol

Hows the radio on the GN3 is it better than the GN2 or around the same?

Well atleast we know that there is a CDMA variant. Lets hope Sprint is included.

Does anyone ever clear their LTE Available File? I have over 700 entries.

No I believe that helps your phone scan for lte when your 1x radio connects to that base station telling your phone to scan for LTE.
