do you think its possible to release an update where boost changes the frequency of the 4g wimax antenna to let it run on their LTE network? maybe we should spam them until they give us what we want... whos with me.


PS. im not sure if its possible but i think it is. they've included lte settings in the JB leaks for the sprint variant.
 
yes... this was a known fact. however it does support wimax currently. i was wondering if samsung could possibly release an update where they tweak the frequency of the wimax antenna to make it LTE compatible.
 
WiMax is old school so I doubt we see anything happening there. I just wish Boost would be more open on this phone with its add/statement on the box in the stores. Just let people know that it won
 
It is hardware related, the only way we would get LTE for this phone is if they release a LTE version of it. Rumor has it that boost may get the S3 which is an LTE phone.
 
true it is hardware based for speed. However, i was wondering if they'd change the frequencies to pick up LTE signals at wimax speeds. LTE is more widespread than wimax, so it might be cheaper to use an existing network. For example, a radio can transmit at 45.4 am. it can also transmit at 95.6 fm it may not be as clear however it still works. so we might not get LTE speeds just better coverage. also there has been reported hidden LTE settings in the leaked builds based on Jelly Bean. However these builds are Sprint based so i may be wrong about Boost Mobile. I'd imagine that they'd give the LTE to Sprint only.
 
I know for a fact that 2nd gen Ipod had Bluetooth hardware, but was disabled thru OS. 3rd gen ipods were rolled out with Bluetooth. finally they released update for 2nd gen which enabled the Bluetooth. don't know if this phone has LTE capability ? limited by firmware.
This has been done before.
