is the GS coming to sprint?
Sent from my SGH-T989
Wait...I wouldn't invest in anything 4G right now even thought the E4GT is a beast. I would rather have something that will get me on Sprints newest network that is LTE!
I do not know why anyone would buy a 4G phone right now or even sign up with Sprint at this time. The only way I would is if Sprint allowed anyone in doing so a 2 year upgrade price to an LTE phone when released and I do not see them doing that.

Not sure if you are serious or not but if you are the GN has been announced as Sprints first LTE device. No date announced yet but should be 1st half of 2012.

I dont now, but if sprint does in fact get rid of wimax, and our phones are no longer capable of 4g, then they have to drop the premium data add-on, and that would be a change in contract, then they would have to allow you to terminate contract free of charge, then sign up again and get the nexus, or other lte phone for upgrade price....but I would be willing to bet that you could get an upgrade discount before you would have to terminate.

Sprint will support Wimax until end of 2013. Data fee has nothing to do with 4g though, 3g only phones also pay the $10 fee.

Well, it still does not look very promising for LS: http://www.pcworld.com/article/249082/sprint_gives_lightsquared_six_more_weeks_for_fcc_approval.html
There is another article that indicates that Sprint basically 'forgave' LS deadlines, likely because LS's issue is more relevant to the FCC than to LS itself. Until they get the approval they need from the FCC there won't be LTE for sprint users.
Screw the GNex. I love the phone, but, I'm an absurdist at heart....I'm going to wait for the Galaxy Note. I love my ET4G, but, I'd love it to be absurdly large and perhaps a little faster.
4G? Who cares, I barely find a signal now and even if it was LTE I'd barely get a signal for another year or two...
Get what you want, write off Sprint 4G for another year or two...unless you are in one of their pet markets and it means that much to you.

Interesting... I didn't know that. My mom has the LG Optimus and my sister has the Samsung Transform and neither of them have the $10 fee. Are those phones not considered smart phones then?
They're included, my brother has the optimus and we had to add the premium data to our account. If they had their phones activated before they did it for all smart phones they will be an exception to the fee.

So now that Sprint is moving to the LTE standard, does this mean that WiMax will no longer be developed? I mean, i just signed a damn 2 year contract 3 months ago, and am paying an extra 10 bucks a month per smartphone for 4g service, which i was promised i would get in the future. The rep even told us that within a year WiMax coverage would encompass most of Sprints network.
Wimax will still be supported by Sprint. It's not like they can drop it entirely with an abundance of Wimax users on its network. I wouldn't expect widespread expansion of Wimax though since LTE is what's "in"

It was never, ever called a 4G fee. It's always been called a Premium Data fee from the launch. The confusion comes from it initially only being charged on 4G phones (however, Sprint was always VERY careful to position it as a Premium Data fee for phones that Sprint expected to consume more data and to protect them from the complaints of 4G not being available in all areas).

The rep lied to you about wimax expansion. They will continue to serve wimax until all wimax devices have reached their "life expectancy" but lte is the new 4g standard. Enjoy your wimax device and by the time your contract is due to renew, Sprint will hopefully have a decent lte coverage area.

WiMax will continued to be supported until the absolute earliest they will turn it off; the end of 2015.
It is still a good technology for many things, and I could see them using and maintaing the network beyond that.
you wont be on LTE but you will have faster data speeds on 3g though when the towers are upgraded
Actually they called it that because Dan Hesse, Sprint's CEO said at CES that there would not be a surcharge for 4g data service.

according to engadget, and ceo of spint, they will support wimax until 2015, and phase it out of their network as lte gets in place. by 2013 they will offer lte- advanced. which is ten times faster then the current lte.
this does not mean there will be more expansion of wimax.. wimax is just a pit stop.

No, it is used to pay clearwire for 4g and to pay for network vision (4g).
In other words it is a 4g fee.

More realistically if enough ppl complained maybe we can get sprint to give us a free upgrade to an LTE device
By the time LTE actually comes to your area, you'll probably be eligible for an upgrade anyway.
And why would you get a free upgrade? It's not like the WiMAX service is being shut down or anything.
There are theories, but nothing confirmed yet.

I called Sprint when the news that they were ending WiMax came out and they said that if I did not have 4G in my area they would allow me an earlier upgrade to an LTE phone with no penalties.
I had to push them for a while and escalate and bedazzle them with logic, but it worked.
But it was all for nothing since my phone will be put up for sale May 7th.

We as in ACS. We were in touch with a reliable source that I'd prefer not to name the origin of.
A few things...
LTE and WIMAX do require 2 different radios so if you wanted your device to switch between them it would have to have both radios built in.
Wimax is not going away anytime soon because we announced a new hotspot device which houses all of our radios aka "quadband".
Just a question; Why is complaining ever a solution? Technology moves like water. You jump in knowing that there is newer and better just up stream of you. Retail some how gives people a sence of entitlment which baffles me. You buy a car, do you complain the next year and say "well now there is a 2013 modle with x,y,z in it so I should get it for free".... just silly, baby town frolics even.

I kinda agree with what you're saying... I think what people are having an issue with is that they are stuck in contract with a non-lte phone. If you had to pay 5 times for that newer model car than what a new customer would pay, I bet you would be pretty upset too. I just hope my upgrade timing plays out perfectly to when lte is coming to chicago. That would be awesome.
On that meeting they had about network vision they did say about making lte work under Wimax or something like that I may be wrong thoe

Yea alot my friends want to xfer to boost for their low price plans but wanted a awesome phone. Now with the et4 in the future if roam is not a big deal for a persons cell usage and sprint coverage is good for their needs this is a no brainer.
Heck i pay half for unlimited everything compaired to what i was paying with sprint, not having roaming is no big deal for my cell usage so that is ok.
This kind of makes me sick to my stomach.
This is my first smartphone ever, purchased only months ago.
My 30 day return ended only a few days before the release date of the galaxy s3. Sprint saw me coming.
I paid full price for this phone!
LOL and now boost?
My investment depreciated quick!
(Assuming a price-drop: which we can safely assume)
Ha all in good spirits though, not legitimately upset.

Did it for a month or two without Sprint batting an eye. It would take months for Sprint to notice, all the while your phone depreciates further. Either bite the bullet and pay the fine, or reneg and hope you can have the collection erased from your credit report. How anyone can have that erased by saying 'not my debt' is a complete mystery and should not be heeded as sound advice.

Three options:

2) Just live with it and leave at the end of the contract
3) After choosing #1 or #2, never sign a contract again

So there was no guarantee of service speed or anything of the sort in your contract. When you signed a contract, there is no clause that if they don't provide a certain service to you that you're entitled to leave the contract. You either have to pay to leave, or continue to pay out your remaining months of service, those are your only legal options.
Just roam on Verizon a lot. Flash a modded prl. You'll get fast speeds for a few months then Sprint will terminate you.

I know what you mean by the data speeds. Currently I'm blazing at a whopping 22kbps! I keep calling about this and then sometimes after, the speeds jumped to 2Mbps then back down to nearly unusable speeds. You can't connect to the Play Store at speeds this low. It just errors out saying that the connection timed out.

You're fooling yourself if you think it won't end up on your credit report. All you did was dispute it. The CRA will verify the debt is yours with Sprint and it will be on your report until you prove that it is not your debt or you settle with Sprint (or several years from the date you left Sprint when it falls off automatically). And no, saying 'not my debt' does not prove that it is not yours.

U sually averaged around 1.5MB but it was nice being able to stream HQ videos and music. On my Gnex I get about half of that but my upload is way high an dI have yet to play with PRl's or radios. It's just a thought but it's worth trying.

If neither.. then, you don't know what your talking about. I can tell you I've been there.. its clearly on my report as "Settled" since 09. Anymore, "assuming" ?s

Congratulations on them not verifying the debt. I wouldn't count on them always siding with someone just saying "it's not mine" when common sense says Sprint has every right to try to recoup the money per the contract all users agree to. I didn't remember Sprints ETF being $350 three years ago. I'm pretty sure it was on $200 back then when I was with them.
Didn't you have an Evo3D when I did (like less than a year ago)?
Flash a roaming prl and download as much data as possible.
I believe that they let you out if you move to an area that they don't cover. Use their coverage map to find some areas they don't cover. Call them and tell them your job is transferring you to Billings Montana or something and you want to check coverage at a couple addresses you are looking at (check realtor.com to get a few addresses). Make sure you already know there is no coverage based off of coverage map. When they tell you no coverage ask them how they handle it if there is no coverage. Chances are you get out right there. Especially if you've already been roaming a lot.

They'll need proof of move or transfer. Just pay the $350, sell whatever device you have to cover the expense and move on. Sprint is awful.

My whole family switched, that was hell, but verizon speed and data is worth it. If you can wait, i would wait, then get a new nexus with your Verizon contract

I just thought I'd post this - I know it's off topic, but this is definitely worth a thread.

Once I find it, I'll update this thread with the spectrum that Dish owns.
EDIT: Dish Network owns AWS-4 Spectrum running at 2000Mhz and 2200Mhz.

bery nice how much?
Bummer...I guess this means they won't be buying Sprint after all. Although I guess the whole SoftBank thing kind of put that to bed, didn't it? I so badly wanted that to happen!

I honestly think Sprint will be involved. They're building out their network but there's no way they can get a nation covered by 2013. They will likely partner with Sprint with their lte network for its coverage until they get a hold of things. Reason being, they want to compete against Verizon and At&t, and T-Mobile has the speeds they need, but not exactly the coverage. When sprint finishes their network vision, it'll be on par with Verizon in terms of speeds and coverage.

im predicting $30-50/month for unlimited everything with no throttling.

Agree with you on that one. I actually think it might be better as Sprint is upgrading every tower in their network with a few exceptions. I'm also excited Sprint just bought some people and spectrum from US Cellular in the Chicago market. In two years, Sprint will have THE best network in Chicago, and I'm happy about that.

They will probably be very tempting when it comes to their entry level pricing. Google likes to recruit a lot of customers by promotions that they lose money on, then make the money from elsewhere. (Ie: Google Play Market. If they sell only Android phones, more android apps will be bought from the market.)

The article says the Google network will be data-only, no call minutes or SMS/MMS. That stuff would be handled as VoIP, most likely through Google Voice.
So, I'm guessing it would be $20-40/month for unlimited data. Any sort of cap obviously wouldn't work for a data-only network.

That means if they go on the Sprint network on solely data it could bog down them down. I'm really curious what their infrastructure plans are.

Dish Network owns AWS-4 spectrum at 2000Mhz/2200Mhz spectrum. This frequency covers slightly less customers with slightly less building penetration. The best way to think of it is between Sprint's 3G and Wimax coverage.
If they decide to go with Sprint in the meantime, they'll probably be forced to have a cap on data until they get their own network on the ground. Google will definitely have a strong presence in the U.S. cellular market.
dish is horrible at making deals, look at what is going on with amc, they are having problems trying to get em back in there line up. I could see this deal collapsing if google mentions money.

Yea it does happen all the time, but amc is one of 5 or 6 channels that was dropped. Just bc they didnt want to give em more money, its been over a year and they still have yet to come to a resolution. Lets look at direct tv, when they had that 17 channel problem, they got that done within a week. So yes i do think they are bad at making deals or getting deals, resolved.

I was about to say the same and judging a company on channel deals is a bit ridiculous. It has nothing to do with wireless phone technology.

If google goes through with this I seriously doubt they'd use any CDMA carrier for any kind of backbone.
Every nexus device they've released has always been on GSM networks first and I don't even think the Nexus 4 will hit Sprint or Verizon.
Google loves the sim cards.

Google's looking at data only network, which means it'll need fast speeds to support voice over IP. LTE is a gsm based technology and Sprint is Google's best carrier friend (Google Voice, Google Play bill to account features, etc.)
