I think this update is a step backwards in terms of LTE connectivity. In areas where I used to automatically connect to LTE I no longer do, i have to use the Airplane mode toggle again. This really sucks, is there a way to roll back to the previous update?

If you are S-OFF you can.

I got these back in September when I was out looking for some sites that had been upgraded.

 

Just to clarify, when I am acting as a moderator, and say that something is a prohibited post, it is NOT up for debate in the public forum. I don't understand why anyone would feel this is acceptable.

My apologies if I came across like that. That was not my intentions.

Duly noted.

 

I do hope they get a fix the proximity sensor. Mine hasn't worked very well since the update.

I understand the concern, but my post didn't have discussion on how to circumvent Sprint's control measures. I was just merely commenting on the fact that the author of the article thought that since FoxFi didn't work after the JB update it was deemed a "bug" when in fact it was obviously Sprint/HTC implementing stopping measures to unauthorized tethering.

Agreed that's not a bug. Pretty sure that was on purpose

Didn't affect it. Pretty sure it was just a statement. Not a complaint.

Yes, I should have said a bit more. Was a statement and not a complaint

Did it kill the official sprint app for tethering? If not, then this discussion violates our rules.

I'm not sure if it did or not. I was just commenting on how the author of the article at Pocketables deemed FoxFi WiFi tether not working after the JB update a "bug".

"Update killed FoxFi WiFi Tether" -- Pretty sure that isn't a bug.

Got any pics?

This doesn't really pertain to network vision but I hope someone can answer this for me. I work for a small city outside of Cleveland and on our property is a tower that features Verizon, at&t, T-Mobile, revol wireless and supposedly sprint according to a guy that was looking at the tower. He was from T-Mobile btw. He said sprint is on this tower. I said your crazy. I've got one bar of service. He even took me over to show me the door into the little building. What could it be? Nextel?

You are probably better off starting your own thread about this or post in your market area. Pics would really help too.

Full Jelly Bean RUU update to 3.15.651.16 now available for HTC EVO 4G LTE

Thanks. I also stumbled across this one the other day that has a bunch of RUUs for a lot of other HTC devices:

Edit- Looks like they linked the HTCRUU site too.

Excellent work Digiblur. Maybe somebody in an AlcaLu and Samsung area can get some detailed pics of their RRUs.

 

I also thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for identifying at least the Big 4's panels and RRUs (if they are implemented). Im still learning myself to identify other equipment besides Sprints.

Congrats Robert. This is well deserved. I still would have liked to seen your facial expression when you seen those subcontractors!

For me I've noticed 4G picking up a lot quicker. Was just up through Topeka and Manhattan. I still don't think my EVO LTE holds it quite as long as the S3 does but once coverage improves every where it should be fine for me until my next upgrade.

Yes! I didn't see it the first time, also, the google voice input option showed up for me. When I looked last night after the upgrade it wasn't available to be selected yet. Kind of a hassle though, you would have to open a text box up, then drag down the top bar to change the input method, but, it does default back to the swype keyboard then.

I know what ya mean. I've been typing so many errors on the stock keyboard and keep forgetting numbers are now in the left hand corner. Will take a bit to get used to.

Also noticed that the voice-to-text option is now gone from both the stock and Swype keyboards. Anyone else notice this? Anyway to get it back?

 

On the stock keyboard, hold down the "." (period) button ... is that what you are looking for?

Unless you (or he) have a problem with being on fringe coverage, I think you would be fine with getting any of the currently available phones. I guess his location would factor in. If you don't mind me asking, where does he live? I wouldn't want to wait for LTE 800 if LTE 1900 is already out there.

 

Yes, by the time your upgrades come around, LTE 800 phones should be out there, and the LTE 800 network should be alive and running.

He is in Wichita Kansas so coverage should be pretty good for him. I know I don't really have an issue when going down there.

 

I think that is what I'll probably do is go ahead and get him on my account and by the time LTE 800 is ready and up and going... he should be able to upgrade.

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.

My brother is currently with Verizon now and is wanting to get rid of them. I plan on adding him to my plan but was wondering if he should wait longer for newer phones or go with something that is out now?

 

I know LTE 800 phones aren't due til mid or late 2013... so I'm wondering if he got on with Sprint with me now by the time he has an upgrade the new phones with LTE 800 should be readily available and LTE 800 should be in the works as well?

 

Thanks.

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.

Here is a list of the firmware package.

 

Any update that doesnt causes problems is a good one in my book.

 

PS. Does anybody know if I update via OTA will I lose my unlock/rooted privs?

 

I would not take the OTA. Just wait for your favorite dev to update and then update the radio and such via the bootloader (I'm assuming you are S-OFF).

Had Google Now on my old rooted Evo 3D. Actually got pretty annoyed with it after awhile. Sometimes I'd search for different menus of restaurants and then I'd get directions to those restaurants for the next hour or so. It is a cool concept though.

You might give Google Now a try on a JB device if you haven't already. I know it was kind of patched together to get it to work on ICS and I had problems with it all the time. I've used it a couple of times on my Dad's GS3 and it worked perfectly.

No mention of LTE fix?

 

I thought the same thing. Let's hope its included they just didn't want to fess up.

It does look more legit this time... but not getting my hopes up haha.

 

No listing of an LTE fix or improvement. Hopefully HTC/Sprint included it, just didn't want to own up to it.
