Hi all,
I am interested on purchasing a HTC Evo 4G from ebay to replace my G1. I do have a couple of questions before I jump both feet in it.
(This will be assuming that I get the device unlocked and rooted with CM7RC2 or CM6Stable for Evo4G):
1- Does the Evo 4G even work on the Roger's network in canada? I got 2 years left on my contract.
2- On ebay, phones with "bad esn's" are cheaper. Would a bad esn stop me from using it here on roger's?
3- I am guessing that the sim card from my G1 be used on the Evo4G?
Thanks in advance,
Heeter
All three questions can be answered at once. The Evo uses the CDMA network, whereas Rogers uses GSM. Simply put, you can't use an Evo on Rogers.
Great, Thanks a million, for your response.

First I am curious as I did not see the Evo 4g listed as a phone in the forum column titles. I saw the shift and the 3d. Are they the same?
My question was this. I have an Evo 4g that I used with sprint. I have switched to Verizon and I am wondering it the phone can be formatted to use on the verizon network? What is involved?
Any help greatly appreciated.
It's there, its called HTC Supersonic:Evo 4g.
I have switched to Verizon and I am wondering it the phone can be formatted to use on the verizon network?

You cannot activate an evo on verizon's network. Not possible. You can however, run the Verizon PRL. You will still have to pay Sprint for service, but your phone will run off of verizon's towers. Keep in mind though, if you are roaming more than 50% of the time, sprint will likely kick you off their network, and force you to pay the etf. It's not really meant to be run full-time. I run it once in a while when I'm in places where sprint doesnt get service, but verizon does.
Wow! I did not know. And sprint coverage sucks bad. Still I was on a corporate plan w/wife and the airtime charges were adding up so I had to switch. I went with Iphone 4 but wondering if I should switch. So I was just trying to figure out how to keep the Iphone and have a 4g option also...
There is so much information here. Good site.
I did think they were the same type CDMA network though. Am I misinformed?
Hello again,
So I am returning the Droid bionic that I posted about last night. So I know own a sprint 4g evo. The Guy i bought it from said it was flashed to Metro pcs. Which is was it say's metropcs on the lock screen. Now my only issue is getting the data to work. he said that he had everything working on it when he was on metro pcs.
So any way of getting data working for the htc evo 4g sprint, for metro pcs.
I saw a few postings for iphone, But i wasn't able to find a thread in regards to the iphone4 on the att&t gophone prepaid. Anyone can refer me to that area, and i'll post my questions in there.
I currently own a note 2 L900 sprint version flashed over to boost mobile. Right now I have it on ebay. I want to get one I can use with straight talk or other gsm providers. I hear it's easy to get the ATT version on straight talk. I also hear the Verizon version can be flashed over to straight talk but idk why if it was unlocked the apn couldn't be added to use straight talk. If anyone can clarify that please let me know. Also I see different versions for Verizon and different versions for ATT. Please help me in deciding the perfect note 2 for me! Thank you all very much for viewing and any input I may get on this. Also being able to go back to boost mobile might be a plus. Where I go Verizon is the best signal but I'm all done with paying such a high bill and only getting squat for data. Also I would like to add Sprint service sux!
ok, from what I gather the sprint/verizon phones can be used and run on verizon signal. Att and tmobile run on ATT. Anyone know if there's any phones that can be programmed to accept both signals. that would be fantastic. CDMA vs GSM would be the stopper but what about the 4s and it being CDMA and GSM?

this is so wrong that its not even funny. ever heard of the touch pro 2? a world phone with pentaband radios and a gsm sim card slot that runs cdma on sprint.
the moto photon was also a world phone as well as many blackberrys.

Afternoon everyone. I have a question I was looking for some help or direction on. I have 2 phones on hand one is a Samsung Galaxy s3 sprint version and the other is a LG Viper 4G Lte sprint phone. I bought the galaxy with the thought I would use it on one of the sprint resellers that allows bring your own used sprint phones like Voyager. They can activate all old non active Sprint phones. I bought that galaxy as the esn was clean but had trouble getting it on and come to find out its a clean esn but the phones imei is listed as active to an account still meaning I can not turn it directly on untill the last owner gets a new phone on contract to kick that one out or until the fill contract length it was subsidized on is completed which is about a year away still. That sais the old sprint branded LG viper I have is completely clean and not active on an account. My question and thought for educational purposes is can I simply just swap the imei number from the good to goo viper to the galaxy 3 and then be good to go or is that imei alaos attached to the esn? In that case Is it possible to swap all the info from one phone to the other including the lte 4G and then just turn it on that way? The viper I checked with Voyager mobile and they can turn it on no issue on sprints network. I want to use the galaxy on Voyager which is sprint but I would like it to have full lte 4G working. The Viper is also Lte and could be the donor. What can I do as far as options like this since Im using 2 sprint lte phones and will keep these on sprints network...? Thanks for ideas in advance.

No ideas or thoughts on this?
So I think this is a kind of unique question. I did some research and couldn't find a specific answer to my question.
First off, I'm new here but I've been lurking for years since I rooted my old HTC Evo 4G in 2012, and when I rooted my Samsung Intercept in '11 I think. I'm glad I finally joined, hope I can be of some help.
Okay, now to the question (in it's most basic form): can I take my Sprint Micro-SIM and put it in another carrier's cheap flip-phone?
Why I want to do this: I recently bought a kayak and capsized in it, ruining my Samsung (Google) Nexus S 4G. Luckily I had the G2 already on the way, expected for the next day.
Now I need a phone for when I'm out kayaking, and I don't want to risk my brand new G2. Ideally I would be able to just switch SIMs on the phones. This would be easy enough if I had a carrier who regularly used SIM cards. Sprint only has SIMs in their phones that support GSM and 4G. So that rules out getting a cheap flip-phone to swap SIMs with.
I know that as far as smart phones are concerned, it would have to be unlocked. Can I get a cheap flip-phone from another carrier that is unlocked? If so, would I be able to put my G2 SIM in it? i read something about how Sprint uses UUIC(?) SIMs that are paired to the phone's MEID, would that pose a problem?
Thanks so much in advance, hope this isn't too dumb of a question!
Short answer is no. Sprint phones require an MEID to authenticate on the network for voice and 3G (CDMA). The SIM or UICC portion is for LTE (4G) data only.
Looking on the Sprint website, they have some basic phones (even rugged ones) that will suit your outdoor type needs.
