Does the 4g Evo jam up when switching between signals?

[eyecon82]

My blackberry is notorious for this...it jams up when I switch from native-->roam and vice versa

It also jams when switching from 1XEV to 1X to 1x...I live in a really rural area and sprint is the best we have.

Can anyone that has an Evo take it into a low reception area and try this out for me please? Thank you.

That's mostly a Blackberry phenomenon, unless you want to count really old phones like PalmOS (Not WebOS!).

If the EVO is constantly changing from 4G to 3G to 1X when I get it, I'm turning off the ability to roam. My BB Tour does this constantly right now and with the EVO giving you that whole unlimited data bla bla BS I wouldn't want it to be doing 1X on Verizon's network, especially since Sprint is supposedly very strict with data limits roaming.

does it jam up though when switching a lot?

What do you mean "jam up"?

 

[eyecon82]

just freezes and becomes non-responsive for about 10-15 seconds

in the videos I have seen it's pretty smooth. The 4G radio takes a little time to kick in and acquire a signal though.

No, it does not.

The other night yeah I did have a jam up while it was switching between 3G and 1X Roaming.

i would most worry about folks writing apps and not thinking about the Evo. when the Evo switches from 4g to 3g it also changes IP addresses. if someone doesn't account for that in their app then i think that is where you will find the most annoyances. until android has it in it's native code then i suspect it won't be on everyone's radar.

Every phone does this. CDMA especially.
