Apparently the apk has been hacked to work on some other phones apart form the official ones.
Anyone know how to hack this for the NS4G ??

Dunno about anyone else, but update 2.0.0.47 STILL does NOT give me video calling on my Nexus S 4G on Sprint.

Same. If you have a backup of a stock ROM try it on that.

I tried today and it worked very well!

I can confirm NS4G working with this version. Market version does not work. I'm on CM7.1 nightly 39 with netarchys 1.3.5 cfn. However, I HAD to lower it to 1300 MHz. 1400 MHz will freeze video after 5 sec. Just like gtalk video.

Sprint will offer an exclusive unlimited plan for iphone 5

Don't know why this surprises anyone.
Sprint has to offer something different to stay relevant.

Lost
I thought the Iphone 5 got lost and that caused delays in things?

Oh great. You can bet our data will either be limited later or worse off than it is now in terms of speed (and it's already horrible) when this stupid POS is released.

Don't all of Sprint's smartphones come with unlimited data plans? Nothing really new here except the phone.
Hopefully their network upgrades are in place soon enough to help pick up the slack...

Yeah, my understanding is they are going to be launching 8 markets by the end of the year with Network Vision.
But obviously the whole network is going to take until 2013 or so.

Loving this community...

Just wanted to thank everyone here for making this phone enjoyable. I come from my og droid (may she rest in peace) to the revo and i thought I'd be stuck in stock rom hell forever but you guys have done amazing things with it, so thank you all!
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App

Glad you like it! Hopefully CM9 can get of the ground soon to!
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk

I'll second that!
I jumped to Verizon the day before unlimited data went away and the best option (only option, imho) was the Revo.
I was so disappointed with the phones performance coming of a rom'd G2X (left tmo only because of poor coverage in my area). Without this awesome community this phone would be next to useless but now even my girl (she got the G2X) is jealous! Thanks guys!

same....
got the revo day before they were about to close unlimited. at that time there were only 3 phones with 4g for vzw (charge, thunderbold and the revo)
wasn't very impressed at first but after MTs and the gang's work....its pretty sweet

Haven't heard that but that's awesome! Can you post a link to the source?
Sent from my Dread Ginger Revo using Tapatalk.

I am unsure as to what this means?

that was one of the things that drew me to this phone over the charge and thunderbolt, it supported VoLTE out of the box
here's a link to engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/verizons-reportedly-trials-volte-services-in-two-cities-eyes-n/
recognize that phone in the picture?
here's one from last Feb: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/verizon-successfully-completes-first-volte-call-in-the-world-pl/

Hot dang. I have no clue what that all means, but I am glad it's on meh phone.
Edit: So does this mean that we can soon use tablets to call with bluetooth? That we don't need a radio to call? Hmm? That would seem interesting, and would make Verizon the leader of LTE indeed.

I heard it from my Verizon store.... anyone know when its sposed to happen
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium

all verizon has said is that it's supposed to launch nationwide in 2013, was supposed to launch this year. they've been testing it with the Revolution since last February.

It is the first phone you can actually Talk and surf the web at the same time.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE). You have to have 4G and you have to wait till next year. I love Verizon...
Like Kane it was one of the features that drew me to this phone but since Verizon has yet to put 4G in my area, I forgot about this feature. I bought this 4G phone because Verizon said it would be available in my area in October 2011... Here we are almost February 2012... No 4G. Now I am just shooting for before the end of the world in December...

That can't be true because... the revolution is current using 3g voice and text

All the 4g phones on Verizon are able to talk and text. I believe they are talking about making it so your phone calls and text messages will be carried over 4g compared to how Verizon transfers your calls and texts currently. It'll probably lead to your phone calls being much clearer in the future since it will be carried over a better network than it is currently.

Not everyone lives in a 4G area... I live just north of LA and there is no 4G here which is odd as I can toss a rock and hit LA.

I can talk on the phone and tether at the same time, also text and all. For those of you that think VoLTE will be coming to the Revo, remember this phone has reached it's END OF LIFE. Whoever posted those articles the 2nd one was from last February. There are no more updates coming to this phone, there is no ICS until we get cm9. Someone would have to come up with a hack most likely to enable VoLTE on the Revo.

Got my revo replaced with a bionic

Verizon finally replaced my revo with a bionic. I was tired of the revo screwing up so I said yes to it. Is the bionic any good? On their website it says Android 4.0 upgradable so I'm assuming I can upgrade to ICS on it or is that just for a later time?
I believe the bionic was actually a higher price point when the revo was still $199 or are they about similar phones?

The bionic is far better and has more development for it. No official ics yet though.

The only bad thing is its outdated. It was the first dual core processor phone for verizons 4G LTE that was delayed so many times. Its definetly and upgrade from the Revos hardware.

Normally its multiple times that you need to send in a revo before they will switch it.
