With clearwire's recent release of the Android WiMAX Framework Ver 1.0, I was wondering if it was any way possible to add the ability for our phones to possibly connect with CLEAR directly instead of through sprint.
EDIT:AND IF IT IS POSSIBLE, START DEVELOPING HERE.
Here in phoenix, our entire area is pretty much covered by CLEAR but sprint hasn't officially released 4g here. It's kind of frustrating knowing the infrastructure is there but nothing hasn't happened yet.
oh yea, the link is here for the framework-http://64.13.72.12/tos/cm_api_terms.html?fileId=16&android_wimax_src.zip
mods-please move where you see fit.

PS> cm6 will be using the clear framework, but that doesn't directly answer your question.
just be patient...it is coming (easy for me to say since I have 4G )
I've started implementing Clear's framework on top of CM6. It looks quite possible to connect to any WiMax network. I've only ported Clear over, I still need to make it talk to the sequans sdio module the ECO uses.
Is it possible to connect to Clear 3g in any way currently?

Wow, your definitely making great progress! If the EVO can connect to pretty much any WiMax network including clear, I think it would really open up a lot of options for us and have waaay more coverage than before.
I don't know anything about the clear framework... I haven't ready anything about it. But are you expecting to be able to connect to their network for free?
I was under the impression that Clear and the Sprint Wimax network were the same exact thing. Didn't Sprint buy Clear for exactly that reason?
I have "unofficial" 4G in my area, and when I used that antenna tool to check position, I was looking for the Clear site thinking I was connecting to that...
Totally off? They're separate networks?

Nah...but that would definitely be a plus The real use I see for this is bringing 4g speeds to people that aren't under sprint's shotty 4g coverage. Like I said in the op, the WiMax framework with clear is fairly widespread (and already available where I'm at) but inaccessible to us. This would help alot of people in clear's market with the evo that sprint hasn't gotten around to releasing their 4g.
@sjwaste-Sprint owns a majority stake in clearwire; and usually where you have the clear network, there's sprint's wimax. But in certain markets i.e phoenix arizona, sprint hasn't gotten to setting up clear's towers or vice versa for use.
And it's not just clear's WiMax that could be used here. It was said it seems that any WiMax network might be accesible.
Since Sprint owns 51% of Clear, why wouldn't you be able to connect to it?

I have clear in my home and Clear and the 4G are the same tower.
Speaking of all of this, Best Buy is now getting involved: http://newsroom.clearwire.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=214419&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1453796&highlight=
For people who like the short + sweet; here's the engadget blurb: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/best-buy-partners-with-clearwire-will-connect-customers-to-4g/
cool, ill have to ask my chick ia a manager at best buy mobile ill have to ask her if she has some inside scoop.....
Ok, Clear's WiMax network is Sprint's 4G network they are one and the same, the 3G network that Clear has is Sprint's 3G network, I am a Clear authorized retailer employee, that is my source of knowledge. in short, when you use Sprint's 4G network, you are truly connecting to Clear, our mac addresses have been added into Clear's database, tat's how we get the connection, same thing with Clear and Sprint 3G just reverse.

Thanks for the insight! I read someplace on XDA, not sure where, that someone couldn't get onto some portion of Clears network with his EVO because of the frequency of the network whereas his Sprint/WiMax access point for his computer could. Any info about that? And to any Dev's out there, what are the chances that the EVO could access these other freq's? and if I am mistaken in what I post, I blame the other poster that I read this from (let me go search for that post now )

That's cool and all, but I still get no WiMax in phoenix, yet phoenix was one of the first cities to get clear! The thread isn't just about that though, because the evo's WiMax has been limited. As mikeallison stated before, the evo seems to have the ability to communicate with any wimax tower. While it might not be important now, as more companies get into wimax it could really make a difference to those who aren't in sprint's or clear's coverage.

Yes, that said, you may need different authentication to access them. So, you might not be able to just hop on.
Clear
Maybe I don't "do enough" but I don't see any major difference between the 3g and 4g except I can tether and still make calls w/out losing my internet connection... I can send data while on call, etc. But as far as speed...again, maybe I don't do enough to tell the difference.
As far as clear, I am a clear customer for phone service and their wireless on the go service and it SUCKs!!! I can never stay connected to the internet on the go as they claim and I've complained and complained....they lock you into contracts like the cell companies and it is an overall bust for me. Maybe they are developing as well and will improve. I don't ask for much, just to be able to use what I pay for...
Seeing as how they have horrible customer service will keep them in line with the culture of Sprint, so it makes since. I do, however, favor Sprint's plans over all other providers so for that I stay and my EVO rocks.

What other wimax networks are you expecting exactly? It's basically a dead protocol and I don't think anyone but Sprint/Clear plan to use it in the states. Everyone else is going with LTE.
Are you sure that Clear even has wimax in Phoenix? The reason I ask is that they do not currently show it on their coverage map. I have Clearwire internet at my house in Reno and when I asked about Sprint 4g they said they don't have it here, and don't know when they will. My understanding is that in the cities that Clear has the wimax equipment installed are the cities that have Sprint 4g. They told me the reason we do not have 4g here is that their current equipment here isn't capable of wimax.
Ok I have a couple of general questions that some may be able to chime in on....
1) with sprint changing up the game and switching over to 4gLTE instead of WIMAXX, are we as Evo wimax users ever going to be able to use LTE w/o upgrading our phone completely?
(I LIVE IN A WIMAXX STRICKEN AREA OF VA AND FEEL AS IF I GOT DUKED ON 2 4G PHONES)
2) Do you guys ever think there will be a rom that will help support Ltd for those of us stricken 4g users now. Or possibly an OTA that will pull us to the top with the rest of the pack of Ltd users?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm not exactly sure, but I think the 4G (WiMAX) radio in your phone is a physical thing so I don't think you will be able to use the LTE and an OTA or a rom would not change that. I did hear that Sprint will support WiMAX for a while, even if they do switch to LTE.
are we as Evo wimax users ever going to be able to use LTE w/o upgrading our phone completely?

No, the Evo will NEVER work on LTE, as it doesn't have an LTE radio. It will continue to work on the wimax network for as long as sprint supports it (probably 2 years or so).

Again no. Flashing a rom isn't going to physically put an LTE radio chip in your phone.
Valid point didn't think about the wimax radio being a physical device...dumb ass me!!!..ha ha..thanks for the reply guys

Thinking about getting an EVO 4g and wondering if there are any roms, or other ways to get to the Wimax settings so I can change them from Sprint to a local company?
On another note I would be flashing this to work with PagePlus, but I think that is beside the point of my main question.
I'm 99% sure there is no wimax roaming, the radio in the evo is set to only receive sprint's signal.
You can change using ##data# if u have ur MSL, but then again u would only be able to change it if u have an account with Clear (or is it Clearwire?)

Same thing basically. And not like you could switch to roam on verizon, because they use LTE, different technology with frequencies.
Hey,
Just like Teh said,
The evo uses wimax to give us 4g, only the big name networks are getting 4g right now and even that is all going to be running off an lte network because it is going to be fast better range and more reliable, sprint even ditched wimax technology and if you dont have 4g coverage now most likely you will never get wimax coverage, sprint decided to go to the lte as well just for easy of use.
Now while this sucks for us evo users :/ it is good in the long run because since lte is a certain frequency and many cell companies are using it now it should mean for a stronger more reliable 4g network in due time! as long as sprint does things right that is!
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button!
Stevo
Guys please please read the entire post or atleast read it till you understand.
He wants to know if he can switch to a LOCAL Company. OTHER COMPANIES besides sprint and clear/clearwire offer WiMAX just using different settings to connect to their services.
He doesn't want to roam.
He wants to connect his phone probably using an account with the other company...

Sprint is adding LTE finally!
So basically there's no way to get the EVO on a wimax network other than Sprint's? Just to clarify...
Evo 4G wimax with local providor
hello
I'm interested into this subject too,
we have a local Wimax company here in Libya and I'd like to edit my Evo 4G's Wimax settings and insert the Local CO.'s data,
I rooted my Evo 4G (thanks to you XDA-Developers)
I could get into the wimax by ##3282# menu
the 3 main things that are needed to change from Sprint (I guess) are :
User name
Password
Wimax certificate
and I don't think that the Hardware's frequencies are editable (but I'm not quite sure)
anyway...the ##3282# menu didn't help and there's no way that I can put my local CO.'s certificate.
do you know what system files that contain the Wimax data and where to find them?
thanks

you can set it up on another network. i checked and in my area there is no winmax so this is no help to me but if you got clearwire service then i think you can do it.?
Now that boost mobile is offering 4g service does anyone have any idea how to get the wimax address from my epic touch 4g on boostmobile's network? Its already flashed to boost with everything working but the 4g service
Update i called boost mobile and they wont do it. The rep said that you have to have the evo design ESN in order for their system to allow the input of a wimax address.....

This is what i did, it was pretty easy. I wanted to know if my company air card 4g mac address would work, so I edited the 4g mac. I was able to connect but when I surfed I was redirected to a page to call a number.
Then I call my friend who has a Epic Touch on Sprint and he gave me his mac, so again I edited the 4g mac...and guess what..."BAMMMM" I was able to connect and surf with no redirect what so ever.
Now it might be a build.prop thing on the aircard mac and that might be why I was not able to surf only connect.
So if you have a friend that has a Epic Touch 4g on sprint and is willing to share the 4g mac then you will have no issues.
Where and how do you edit the MAC address?

Yea but that's still not an E4GT with really cheap 4g service on boost mobile. The obvious way around this problem is to buy an evo design register it with your account then get put that esn and wimax addy on a e4gt and break the evo design and return it for ins, it will be recycled and all will be saved.... but that's not quite kosher(legal) so i don't advise anyone to do that ever.
Or just buy an EVO Design (once they go cheaper on ebay) and do what you said but if you keep the phone it's Kosher. Ultimately the EVO Design becomes you donor phone. I bought a donor phone from ebay to get my ET4G working on Virgin Mobile.
Sent from my ET4G
Yea that'd be a good idea, or buy like a broken evo design and just use that... as long as you can still access the phone via pc you should be able to get all the info and a cheaper price on the phone.
Would it have to be a Virgin branded one? Also I am wondering if I would have to actually activate the new EVO Design & then put those settings in my ET4G or just keep my ET4G active & enter the MAC settings from the EVO into my ET4G & get Wimax that way. I just don't want to give up my $25 grandfathered plan!

wow that is a lot of work to get 4g buy a phone then break it..etc.., I would just ask a friend like I did...but what ever floats your boat.
I just wished the 4g coverage was really some thing to take advantage of, as for me I will maybe connect 5 times a year if that when I am in a 4g area. It is nice to have if you are in coverage and can really use it.
Only wished my damn phone would accept my Mac id from my clear wire wifi modem. Any ideas to why it won't even give me the option to set it?

Third of all. can you give me your friends MAC address??

While the rep may have been confused by your question, this raises a question of my own. Would they be able to alter the associated WiMax MAC address on their end if you were using a Boost branded Evo Design as a "donor"?
It wouldn't do anything to alleviate needing a $299 donor phone, but it would open the door to using other HTC 4G phones on Boost with working WiMax.
I can confirm that the Epic Touch will get functional 4G on Boost if an Evo Design is used as a donor, the WiMax MAC address is repaired and the realm is changed to myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com.
I highly doubt boost would change the wimax addy on their end to a non evo wimax addy. They probably could change it on their end but doubt they would, even though half those people you talk to are f*c*ing idiots.
Hows everyone doing, like anyone who has this phone I am also waiting on lte. Im actually in South Fl where they are working on LTE service currently some of my friends actually say that they drive around and sometimes are able to connect to 4g,all who are under sprint actually. I just wanted to know if anyone who has a flashed device via boost,metropcs,veizon,etc has any luck picking up 4g lte service on there device in the few areas that sprint has 4G,any feedback would be greatly appreciated.Hopefully I can though when its fully launched I actually saw a video that devices that has not yet been activated was able to use LTE service by qbking77.

I was wondering the same since there is a 4G hack for the ET, is there a hack for the LTE mac address, that would allow access to Sprint 4G LTE
Example: I am flashed to Boost on my Sprint ET, but using my friends Sprint ET 4G mac address for 4G access.
That is one thing keeping me from switching to the S3 cause I will lose 4G.
Yep I actually still have my s2 I'm using it as a walking hotspot
as far as I know.. there is no public info available on accomplishing this. I can't say it's not possible.. because everything is in some way or another.. but LTE is much more difficult than WiMax.
WiMax allows anyone and everyone to connect to the tower. Then, depending on your MAC address, you could browse the web... or be redirected to a sign-up portal. there are even ways to get through the portal without a valid MAC by using VPN connections etc.. the DNS port on the portal page is wide open.
This next part I'm not 100% sure on... still an LTE n00b to be honest.. with no LTE in my area to test things. But.. afaik... LTE is "similar" to GSM. It is based on SIM cards(actually a UICC card). On a Sprint LTE phone in settings you will see a ICCID number.. this is the embedded sim cards ID number. On a true lte system(ATT/VZW) the UICC is programmed OTA with all the needed credentials to connect you... for voice/text/3g/4g. On Sprint, it's more of a hybrid setup. It's still using the CDMA base... where the phone relies on the EFS/NV for calls/text/3g... then it uses the embedded sim(eUICC) to handle the 4G LTE side of things.
I have not found any good Sprint documentation on how their LTE authentication works. I'm not sure if it is OTA provisioning info onto the eUICC... which would make LTE hacking pretty impossible. Or maybe Sprint got lazy and is just using some kinda of MEID/ICCID pairing(sort of like the meid/wimax mac pairing)... which will whitelist an ICCID if its paired MEID if activated on an LTE plan. If the later is true, perhaps the ICCID could be spoofed to a valid one? But I doubt they got that lazy.
Other exploits could be possible.. something that gets around the current provisioning system.. but something like that may never reach the publics eye. Sim cloning is also possible.. but that would require hardware capable of reading a sim and rewriting... not impossible I suppose, but most likely expensive.
I wouldn't get my hopes up about this being possible. There is a very slim change anything like this could be pulled off. Those in Wimax coverage may be using the last hackable "4G" network.
*edit*
as for the qbking video.. I'm not 100% sure, but I was under the impression each of those phones had been previously activated... and that some glitch in the system allowed them to still work.. kinda like when you swap phones on Sprint and 3G still works for a day or so. It's also possible the tower was set up to allow all connections to test things(for a few days at most). Again.. I'm just guessing. Does anyone know if he can still replicate those results?

Thanks autoprime that means alot coming from you, and as far as with the authentication procedure, any idea on how phones were able to connect to lte that has not yet been activated? So you think Sprint recognized the problem and patched it with software updates? That's what really gave me hope to think it would all be possible

check out the lil edit i made at the end of my initial post.. regarding the qbking situation. there was not enough info there for me to know exactly what was going on in his exact situation. but its very possible, as i mentioned above, that the lte towers had some kind of "accept all" flag while they were testing it.. who knows. If it's still able to be replicated by qbking.. then I would say there might be a loophole.
i will say tho.. ive never had the chance to personally test out lte. all i have to go by are documents i've read.. and other users experience. once i get it in my hands.. maybe something will change. trust me.. i'm looking into this.. and will continue to do so :good:

check out the lil edit i made at the end of my initial post.. regarding the qbking situation. there was not enough info there for me to know exactly what was going on in his exact situation. but its very possible, as i mentioned above, that the lte towers had some kind of "accept all" flag while they were testing it.. who knows. If it's still able to be replicated by qbking.. then I would say there might be a loophole.

Okay so I am able to connect to lte but by default I'm not able to browse anyone good with uiccid and lte? My pic shows that my device was connected to lte but as you can see no 4g icon

This is what it looks like when connected to 3g as you can see the network clearly shows that.I removed my username for obvious reasons

Toggle airplane mode on and off make sure data is not turned off because it should still show either 3g or 4G not blank like your picture.

I have done that and manually disconnected mobile data, it does that because the phone is connecting to 4g lte tower, the thing is that I don't believe the iccid number of not authenticating so that's why the 4g is not popping up

Has anyone figured out how to get LTE working on a sprint S3 flashed to boost? Boost offers LTE now so there has to be some way to get a S3 to authenticate on LTE while on a boost account. Ive looked everywhere and cant find diddly squat.
