[Q] 4G on the Incredible??? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there is the "super secret menu item" it has been you tube'd to death. But now that Verizon is rolling out 4g coverage, specifically to my area, lol I was interested in if anyone has input on if our phones will run on the 4G net or if I am going and getting a Thunderbolt today..... Because TBH, the Thunderbolt doesn't impress me much over the DInc, aside from the 4G ability......well ok that and the kickstand I love lol Front facing cam? meh WHo would ever want to see my ugly mug lolol
My question is, do you think there will be an update pushed to enable the 4G? Granted I'll have to wait till SkyRaider 5.0 for it, but... thoughts?
/discuss

It would be cool to say my incredible was 4g but considering there is no coverage around me, its pointless. I had an iPhone 4 and the front facing camera was nothing to write home about.

The Incredible does not have the hardware needed to run 4G. The menu item is meaningless and has been explained in other threads.

KK, ty! I searched for "4G" in this section, and didn't find anything of value RE: my question so I figured I would post. Sorry!

How do I get to the super secret menu? Do tell!

I can absolutely, with out a doubt, assure you in writing with blood, no Incredible with ever, ever work on 4G. 4G uses a technology much more similar to GSM than cdma and is in no way compatible, hardware or software wise.

Removing sense?

Okay, I'm running myn's warm 2.2 with kings#11 kernal if that matters. You can laugh at the fact that I want to get rid of sense on a sense rom but I use launcher pro so I don't want sense anymore. It's too slow and laggy although I miss the animations of weather. Anyway, is there a way to completely remove it without destroying the phone?

Ah man, its a much better reference then that. Dire Straits, Sultans Of Swing, it ain't what they call rock and roll.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I bet Sultan is bad ass but idk anything about it.

Old school huh.
First band to have an album on a CD. Lead guitarist mark knopfler is in the list of top guitarists and even has a dinosaur named after him.
He has a very unique style of playing and its awesome.
Just about everyone knows his song money for nothing.
There are a lot of his live performances that are just awesome. Brothers in arms is one of them.
I could go on and on and write a Bio about them but I'm not. Lol
Listen to this. Absolutely beautiful. At the middle he mixes it up and jumps on his schecter. Take a look at his playing style. Best finger style guitarist ever

Well I already have an EVO and sprint is sending me another one in a few days once I order it tomorrow. I really do love sense but I have heard a lot of bad about the 3d. Like overheating, freezing, bad funny speakers and reception Nd WiFi issues. Now I'm usually always on WiFi and use bt. So Idk what will happen also I have literally no bars so reception might be even worse for me.

No. Already has inferior hardware. Go with the Evo Lte if you have to upgrade now.

Well I played with the one x at att and must say it's better looking. The screen is amazing though. Our GS3 will probably have the s4 also though.

It's got some nice additions, ie sdcard slot, kickstand, and larger battery, but it's definitely not as sexy.

No real point in upgrading to a sprint lte phone right now as there is no lte towers. You will be stuck with sprints slow 3g. Best to stick with the e4gt until the galaxy siii comes out.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
You are right. However in my house I have no 4G except upstairs window. When home just keep wifi on and use my own internet. Even 3G and calls iffy in house. Without my Airwave my phone would be a brick most of time. Hope so called Network Vision improves coverage. I have no idea when lte is turned on if that will be any better than my current wimax 4g.

Have you played with both phones at the same time. Also are you bored with your phone? These are reasons to upgrade and of course do YOU think its worth it to you to upgrade. I have seen I love Gnex threads and I returned my Gnex threads, at the end of the day its really your preference. Go to Best Buy and check them all out... Jus' My Opinion
or you could just search one of the other 40 threads about the exact same thing!

I made a thread about this the other day too because I have an upgrade so I went down to the sprint store and played with the Gnex and I dont know if there was something wrong with that one or what but it ran like ****! Force closes everywhere, could not get facial unlock to work. I just installed ICS Hydra rom on my E4GT and it runs SOOO much better than the Gnex. I also talked to a sprint employee and they said the E4GT is far superior. I wouldn't do it!

[WIP]EVO 4G LTE - Epic 4G Touch video

I have at my disposal a brand new EVO 4G LTE, and an Epic 4G Touch. I know there has been a lot of debate over issues such as better screen, better camera, etc...
I am willing to put together a video of these side by side so those that don't have one can see...
I am not biased towards one device over the other...just wanted to know if anyone would be interested in this. If so, what exactly would you want to see?
If there is no interest, just let the thread die...
Make it, I have family considering the evo 4g late i wouldn't mind seeing screen, UI, etc. Differences I haven't seen the evo yet.
I would live to see as well..

Why would anyone what to see a slaughter match? Shouldn't the better comparison be the EVO LTE with the S3? I have both devices and I'm not sure why the ET4G is even being mentioned in a side by side comparison.

So in your opinion they aren't in the same ballpark...but there are plenty of people out there that DON'T have both devices and would like to see them both side by side. Is it that hard of a concept to grasp?
Anyways, I will work on video over the next day or so. Is there anything in particular or certain features that you all want in the video?

Because those of us upgrading likely have gs2, and evo is the available option. I want to see how current gen stacks up to last years gen and make my wise decision on upgrading.
