EVDO Rev B

[cander21]

With all the rumors floating around about Sprint announcing evdo rev b, will the Photon support it?

 

[dullgeek]

I don't know, but it looks like Rev B is a software change

CDG : Technology : Multicarrier EV-DO and EV-DO Revision B
EVDO Rev B : EVDOforums.com

If that's true, then a firmware update should allow the mopho to support it.

When dialing ##data# is see evdo b disabled. I get the option to enable it when I enter my msl #. Anyone know what happens?

Oops thats EVRC-B

Yes the Photon supports EV-DO Rev. B

I don't think it matters though. I'm doubtful that Sprint is going to announce a Rev. B deployment. I think Oct 7th is going to be about the iPhone, LTE and their "Network Vision" project.

I do think that Rev b is a part of Sprint's "Network Vision" The new Push to talk that sprint is launching is data intensive 3g(it's not based on wimax or lte) and has simultaneous data and voice. So what is it based on? Best bet is EVDO Rev. b!

that would be nice it it was rolled out in all of sprints 3G coverage area to get voice and data without 4G/wifi

Looks like the announcement is sprints own lte network to light up first quarter 2012, and probably no rev b. :-(

Sprint's LTE build out already underway, new 4G network to launch first half 2012? -- Engadget

the photon does have evdo rev B

It looks like Sprint will not be deploying Rev. B, so it's all for not anyways.

Official Sprint Answer:

Sprint is committed to delivering the highest quality network experience. Our Network Vision plan will improve your network experience, but it does not include any EVDO Rev B launch. Sprint has evaluated EVDO Rev B and chosen to go directly to 4G connections. Since we are not launching EVDO Rev B, none of our handsets supports EVDO Rev B.

Thank you for your interest in our Network and Chipset Technologies!

Well there goes hoping sprints network will get better soon. I think people were hopin against hope for this to maybe justify or explain sprints sucky network. Sprint will prolly announce lte in 2012 which will see just as slow a roll out as 4g.

Here is something im wondering what makes verizon 3g so fast and why cant sprint copy that and most their customers will be happy.

My EVO 4g has the setting. I just switched it and its definitely clearer...regardless of their answer. So you should have it too.

U don't. He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Sprint does NOT have rev b.

You're right. I changed my EVRC to B. Not EVDO.
