While I was on a phone call today, I tried going online to check my email and browse the web; come to find out I get a message saying that I did not have an internet connection. I thought I was not in a 3g area, but then again, I always get 3g where I am at. So I tried it again; made a phone call and tried browsing the web and I noticed that my 3g icon was not showing up on the top of my screen.
Noticing that I could not get 3g while I was on my phone call, I went to sprint and asked their manager if my phone was having any problems or if it's just a signal issue. He stated since the EVO is a 4g phone, we can only access the web while on a phone call when there is a 4g signal. I found that strange. Why would sprint do this? Especially since 4g kills battery life a lot. I wonder if the OTA update relieves battery draining with 4g turned on. The EVO is capable of 3g signal with ease. With my pre I could log online via 3g while on a phone call.
Asking a sprint store manager or rep it's hard to tell if they are telling the truth or just making up some b.s. Does anyone here know if this is true? If its is, then I guess I would have to wait til 4g is up and running in the bay by the end of the summer or year.
