I understand that the Epic 4G Touch may be released on the Boost Mobile service. But what does that have to do with Sprint's Epic 4G Touch? Yes is technically the same network, But until its actually released on Boost Mobile, shouldn't the ROM Leaks be about the Sprint Epic 4G Touch?
FG20, FG30 and FG31 have all been tagged with Boost. But I have yet to see any news on any website that deals with cellphone news saying anything about the Epic 4G Touch being released on Boost Mobile. So why is it that the main focus has been shifted from Sprint ROM leaks to Boost Mobile ROM leaks? I'm not going to chance bricking my phone because of a shift in focus. Why in the HE double hockey sticks are the ROM's being posted in the Sprint Epic 4G Touch section anyway?
Well, for starters, the updated modems and base software work.
Some are actually saying that there are fixes compared to ff18.
Others are saying that the "masking" of the releases are to throw the "dogs" off track.
Take your pick.
But isn't that the point? Get a new toy, tear it apart and compare?
Oh, and Boost IS Sprint...

boostmobile need another 4g phone they only have the evo on the sale site
if they do put the epic 4g touch it eill get then a big boost
The Epic 4g Touch from sprint is the same thing as the epic 4g touch on boost. Only difference is different apps, some tiny changes in MMS and other areas.
That's why the latest leaks are Boost roms. We can put it on our E4GT just fine with minimal problems (roaming / mms but easily fixed) and they are somewhat 'smoother' and may have bug fixes.

Is it possible for the Epic Touch 4G to be a LTE phone with software updates or is it limited by it's hardware?

Limited by hardware. Doesn't have any lte radios inside.
That's what I figured.
Haha the woman I spoke to in retentions said my Epic 4G (not touch) would work on LTE. I asked what would happen to my wimax phone when sprint drops wimax for lte and she said it would work just fine on the new 4g. Amazing what they will say.
Hey do you guys think may 31 when boost comes out with 4g and the HTC Design 4g i will have to switch phones because i flash my HTC EVO 4g to boost awhile ago. Or do you guys think it will just become part of a plan and just wait till someone post then 4g APN like how you used to get 4g by going in EPST and change sprint to clear-wmx.net???????????????????
No 4G settings are unique not universal.
People may use 4G profiles from the EVO Design to get 4G on OG EVOs because of the amount of ROMs the OG EVO has compared to the few ROMs the EVO Design has.
So what your saying is im going to probably have to get the HTC Design to get 4g on boost
You will absolutely need to get a Design to get 4G.
Similar to how a 3G enabled boost donor phone is required to get 3G on a boosted EVO.
The dude at boost mobile sated 4G is coming to the og soon he said. I live in west palm beach Florida so it may be different but less than 58days its coming.

If u have hspa+ coverage (like Tmo) get Simple Mobile. Unlock & use any compat phone. I'm friggin loving it. Dumping VZ was a great day lol. I found u don't even have to unlock a Tmo phone. Just put in the APN for SM and ur good. Love it! I unlocked the doubleshot anyway tho

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I didn't know if anyone knew if you could take a Sprint branded EVO Design 4G phone and put it on Boost Mobile. I wasn't sure if they had some database of what ESN's are Sprint EVO Design's and what are Boost Mobile EVO Design's.. does anyone know? If so, if the Sprint EVO Design has a bad ESN on Sprint, would they activate it?
Yes interested in this as well.
I have an evo 4G and was wondering if you can just call boost when your term is over.
Would love to save the hassle of 'donor' phones and related processes.
message me for detaill i know he can do mostly any sprint phone
im currently running gs2 epic on boostmobile i can even say i get better 3g loll
also w 4g
I tried to call boost mobile customer care and activate an EVO 4g(not the design 4g) and all 4 times the took the DEC then told me that they are aware that people want to activate sprint phones on the boost network but an not compatible. (which isnt true) I told them that it was the new EVO design 4g and one time i told them it was a sprint branded phone evo.
chodey big balls
I am also interested in how to get sprint evo to boost mobile.

I understand what your asking.
No, I don't think you can use any Design, it has to be from Boost.

I was on vacation in Lancaster PA this weekend with my Wife, sister & BIL. My sister has an OG Evo, my BIL has an Iphone, both on Sprint. In the hotel, I had no service at all, my sister had full service & the bil had full service.
I often had 1 bar vs their full service. I am using FF11 for the modem & CM9 Beta 5. Is there something wrong with my phone or is the radio that crappy in the ET4G?
Thanks,
Rich
The radio is absolutely that crappy! My phones the same way.

So is the Evo 4G LTE Better? I am expecting that the SG3 is going to be as crappy with the radio.
my og evo 4g was better. Even with the crappy radio this is still a great phone.

I've been tp Lancaster several times and I always get 3-5 bars on my sprint phone, Its a HTC Hero..
I have Sprint here in the DC area and indoors it was crappy. My Palm Pre has at least two bars more than the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch. I'm on FF11 too. I'm not sure if it is the modem or what. I think the stock radio was better, but I haven't downgraded it yet to see. I'm also wondering if there is any tweak in ICS which brought the power down to save batteries.
Try a different modem, FE22 is working well for me lately.
With Sprint dropping over 60,000 customers from WiMax in November who have phones using it such as the Epic 4G touch, Is it possible to do a custom ROM that will allow the Epic 4G Touch to work on the newer Spark network/4G LTE, or do I use my Epic for a paperweight.
The Epic will continue to work on 3G but Id rather buy a new phone than go backwards with speed.
Anyone have a solution? :crying:
thanks

No. LTE/Sprint Spark requires new hardware. As you stated it will still work on 2G and 3G.
And this is not the Epic 4G Touch sub-forum. This is the Epic 4G sub-forum.
I'm leaning toward a 2015 Moto G CDMA, Moto X Pure Edition, or 2015 Nexus 5. I'll just keep my Epic 4G as a backup probably.
Some news:
Sprint is planning on providing replacement phones to long standing customers at no fee sometime in September that will work on the 4g LTE network. If they keep their word, then nothing lost and maybe a lot to gain with a better phone even if it will most likely be refurbished.
So where do you think they will come up with over 50,000 phones for the customers that had WiMax only devices?
Could be worse.....they could offer us a rotary dial phone.
At least wimax will become spark in that area where it was
?
