It will work only when you're on 4g. 3g and below on a CDMA network does not allow simultaneous connection with phone and data.
On the up side verizon has the largest and most reliable 4g network.

I don't understand why they didnt follow the HTC Thunderbolts technology and include that option of being on a call and using the internet on 3g/1x... all that. I loved it!!

That's called SVDO, and a few phones from Verizon have included it (with the Thunderbolt and the Galaxy S3 being the major two). It requires special hardware in order to work, and with LTE being so readily available now, it's not something that manufacturers or Verizon consider to be a needed addition. In fact, even with the phones that supported it, Verizon never advertised that feature. They could never guarantee that it would work consistently, so they pretty much ignored it.

HTC Thunderbolts had two communication chips built-in. One for LTE and another one for 3G/1x, and it was one of the many reasons it had horrible battery life.

Awesome new discovery!!!

I just found out our "sprint sgs3" phones can browse the internet/apps/sync and download while "talking on the phone"-while on 3g(wifi off), im sure it works while on 4g lte too, but I dont have 4g lte in my area yet so cant tell..

I noticed this as well and I have taken advantage a few times already. Comes in handy when I am on the phone in the car and I also need to fire up Navigation to get somewhere. That would not work on the Evo 4G unless I was connected to Wimax.

I don't think car + phone + INTERNET would be a very good idea..
But yes, it's a nice thing to have .
Yep this also works on the EvoLTE... But this doesn't work on the new Note2.. Another reason to stay with the GS3

A little late to the party. It's called SVDO, which allows devices with CDMA radios to simultaneously use voice and data.
My understanding is that only the S3 and EVO LTE have the radios capable of doing this, whereas the Nexus LTE may not.
Gs3 and the Evo LTE has two radios antennas. One for voice & one for data. So I've heard. Let me know if I'm wrong tho

Its not a feature that only Sprint has. AT&T's network has allowed it for awhile. The Verizon version of the GS3 probably can do the same thing.

It's because they don't support SVDO on all towers and during high volumes, data is less prioritized so you may only get voice.

LMAO I wouldn't be surprised. I don't even bother going into their store to ask questions. Only to look at phones and when I'm approached by someone I tell them I'm fine because 99% of what they say is misinformation or flat out ridiculous. Last time I went I overheard one of the guys telling this lady who obviously knew nothing about phones that she should go with the Epic Touch 4G because the Galaxy Nexus "wasn't that good." Really? It was hard holding my tongue at that moment. Anyways sorry to get a little off topic but just had to let it out.

Not to be Mr obvious but the real world reason you may be use this while driving legal and safely would be if you had your gs3 mounted on your dash using Google nav and then your phone rings and you answer it on your Bluetooth.... All while Google nav never loosing its map data connection.

Actually, the Evo 4G LTE did SVDO before the S3. And I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure there were other SVDO-capable phones before the Evo.
My Galaxy Attain from metropcs can talk and browse at the same time and I got that phone over 8 months ago I'm sure there are a few phones that can do this

HTC Incredible DLX losses out to LG over next Google Flagship Device.

That's right, confirmed yesterday with a release date of November 13th, the Google Nexus 4 will be a 4.75" Quad Core Snapdragon S4 device marketed by LG.
I know I and many in the HTC Community were looking forward to the supposed HTC Branded Google Nexus 5 (ie HTC Incredible DLX).
The LG branded Google Nexus 4 will not feature 4G LTE capabilities and looks like it won't feature 4G at all. It will offer Android 4.2, 2GB RAM, wireless charging and other features. More can be found here

Pretty sure the LGNexus 4 also only comes in 8gb and 16 gb models... with no sd card. That right there did kind of turn me off of it. One reason I'm not a big Apple fan...
Here's the Google Play store page for it Nexus 4
I was looking forward to the Nexus 4. I was so sad when I found out there was no 4G and it would not be on Verizon. Haven't had a Nexus device yet. Guess now I'm for HTC DNA or whatever they decide to call it...
The simple fact is is that Verizon does not support timely updates or unlocked devices. Its also common knowledge that LTE is a huge battery hog. My brother has T-Mobile HSPA+ 42 and has no problems streaming Netflix, which is what most people complain about. Besides, LTE is only available in 8 countries worldwide and even in those countries its only available in certain areas.
Can someone please fix the ****ing thread title?

Yes, it can. Buy it outright and you can unlock it for free right away. But you will only get GPRS, if I am right.

I have an unlocked T889 running 4G (HSPA+) on AT&T. So long as you have a data plan it'll work. LTE radio is software locked for now, but really HSPA+ is fast enough for most uses and probably doesn't drain the battery as fast.

I have the TMobile SGH-T889...paid $25 to that cellunlocker cite, used their code with my AT&T HTC One X SIM in the Note II. It registered on AT&T, so I ran some speedtests with the Ookla app. I got test speeds in the 3-4Mb/s range, which in my area is as good as AT&T's HSPA+ network gets. The same SIM pulls the same speeds on my AT&T One X.
Conclusion, it works on AT&T 3G/fake-4G network no problems.
That said, the exact same phone, in the exact same location, with its TMobile SIM in it, gets 10-12Mb/s on the speedtest app. Not sure why I'd want to run the AT&T sim in this phone with that kind of speed difference.

If your on 4g lte you can talk and web browse.

To better answer/consolidate the above replies:
When you are on 3G data (watching a youtube video, on the web browser, etc) you will still get phone calls, however the data connection will stop to allow the phone call to take place. You will also be able to receive text messages however the data will stop for a brief second (the phone actually goes to 1x for a brief second)
When you are on 4G LTE, you can make phone calls with no problem. The data connection will remain active and you can talk at the same time.

Yes you still get calls. Unless you enable DDTM from settings. Which sends calls straight to vm if you're on active data.
There are cdma phones that do talk and surf but unfortunately our Notes is not one of them even though it came out after all the others ones that can! Damn Samsung Retards.. :banghead:

This is not entirely Samsung's fault. This is a 3g CDMA radio tech problem requiring SVDO being needed....and Samsung making a multi-carrier handset that has identical hardware.

I've read a few times and I'm a bit confused. You say it's a 3G CDMA radio tech problem requiring SVDO and Samsung making a multi-carrier handset that had identical hardware. Ok.. Wasn't the GS3 a multi-carrier handset with identical hardware? It handles it fine on Sprint's 3G.
The other thing that has me confused was when you said:
And yes you can talk and surf so long as you either have LTE and 3g available or have wifi and 3g available. Were you referring to the GS3 or the Note? Because the Note can't handle calls and web surfing on 3G.

And this is the exact answer I needed to hear. That explains it thoroughly. Which brings me to my next question. Why didn't they go with the qualcomm instead of going backwards? It's like technology advances for CDMA 3G and then Samsung decides to take a step backwards.
Edit: Nevermind I got my answer. Sprint/Samsung sacrificed SVDO for WCDMA support instead. At least that's what I'm getting from researching.

Yes I picked that up when researching and people saying is the processor, but sgr4u and a few others speculated it really was put aside for WCDMA support for faster 3G due to the placing if antennas. Which to me makes perfect sense because if Samsung can get LTE to work on their chips what's SVDO to them?

Simultaneous voice and data?

Will the Note 4 have simultaneous voice and data? I know the S5 doesn't.
That is a deal breaker for me.
Sent from my SGNote 3
No it doesn't. Sprint hasn't had that since the S3 and single band LTE.
It will likely be a year or more till they get that type of thing up and running on their new phones and it is doubtful the Note 4 would ever have it, because it isn't just a simple software upgrade needed. There are hardware issues also.
That shouldn't be a reason to not buy it though. As I said before unless you are getting an S3 no new sprint phone is going to have that capability.

Ok great, and my phone right now is an S3, and I did not have the info on the Note 2 or 3 but I assumed they didn't have it. My mistake. So they do it also. My point is that no new Sprint phone will do it that has the Tri-Band LTE Spark network. It has to do with the hardware. So if you want a phone that does this you need to get a non Tri-Band/Spark phone. The trade off isn't worth it in my humble opinion because being able to use Tri-band LTE where I live will greatly fix some of the LTE capacity issues I am having right now on my S3.
Until Sprint does VoLTE (probably not until late 2015 to early 2016) this won't be possible. You can still do non-LTE data simultaneously just not LTE.
Let's keep it civil in here guys - don't make me come back for more cleaning or I'll close this thread.
I also moved it to Q&A since it's a question - please post in appropriate sections.
Thank you.

For last month I used about 3 minutes of talk time. Voice is actually not important to me at all but I know when Spark was launched it was discovered that Data/Voice could not be simultaneous and it upset alot of people. One of the unfortunate limitation of Spark.

Just my 2 cents. Any phone on 4G LTE on the sprint network can do voice and data at the same time. 3G you cannot unless it is the S3 because of the SVDO chip which has been discussed by others.

that was what t I was trying to tell the OP before he got rude about it. Tri-Band LTE=Spark=No simultaneous voice/data. Until they release Voice over LTE(VoLTE) this capability will not be available in any spark capable phone.

this makes sense that simultaneous data and voice will not work over Spark. If the third channel is one use by 3G, which is use to make the data more reliable. 3G was not possible to have voice and data at the same time on Sprint.
Not that I use voice very often, I can see this being a slight irritation from time to time. Although, you'll be able to use voice and WiFi since they're two different radios.
If I didn't already buy this phone this would be a huge deal breaker for me. I didn't realize I would not be able to talk and surf. I do that all the time. I use my data and phone all the time. I hated having a 3g phone not because of the slow speeds but because I couldn't talk and surf without wifi. How does this affect google maps while talking?

I don't understand your point. I use my bluetooth all the time so I can talk and surf. Why would I need to do one or the other unless the current tech doesn't allow me to do more?
I think in the case of navigation and voice, navigation caches the data it needs and allows voice calls during the process, just don't talk for hours while trying to get somewhere. ..lol
