I rooted and updated (keeping root) as soon as I got my phone and I cannot figure out if my 4G signal is weak or I'm having issues:
My 4G widget turns on just fine, and occasionally I see the 4G icon with 0 or 1 bar. And then the icon goes away. My MAC address matches my sticker, so at leasy I have that going for me.
Surely there is some diagnostic I can run to confirm when I am connected to a 4G/wimax tower, other than relying on the icon??
thanks!
How is 4G coverage in your area? Did you try other areas? I had sort of a similar issue where I would get 4G but it would drop after a few seconds and I would have to reconnect it by hitting scan.
Did you flash new radio and the wimax update? What rom are you using?
I am using a rooted version of the latest stock update 1.47.651.1. I followed this thread to the letter:

I am in Las Vegas and about 2 miles from where the CITA Wireless convention was held. If anyone should have 4G access I would think I should!
If I can somehow confirm the 4G connection through logcat or a shell command then I will just assume that I have a weak signal.
In Chicago you can go from 0 to 3 in the span of 2 blocks. I suggest you get closer to downtown to check

Ok, success! I was finally able to maintain a 4G signal. Looks like I was just getting a weak signal. There are a lot of buildings around all of the places I am checking.
Thanks for the help!
So I turned on 4g and spotted that the 4g icon was showing on task bar although signal fluctuates constantly. I opened up browser and market and nothing seems to connect. I got the network connection error. Anyone else in Pleasanton or nearby areas see this?
thnx.
I just came back to sprint from Verizon and I have 4g in my area but its weak at my house. My problem is this. Ill habe tje 4g icon in the status bar but it wont do anyrhing cause its so weak but I cant get 3g to come on and sometimes when I switch off wifi I have no data at home until I reboot or toggle airplane mode. Its like its not switching between 3g and 4g properly. Anyone else have this problem? I just got the phone 3 daya ago and want to make sure its not my phone. Ill also have trouble when it does finally show 3g from 4g it takes a while bwfore the 3g will even give me internet access. Thanks for all the help guys.

4G is always a priority over 3G if you have it enabled. There's no way around it unless you switch lte off. So if you're in a weak 4G coverage and your phone gets the signal it will take over your 3G. Wifi is always 1st priority, 4G 2nd, then 3G, finally 2G. As long as those radio are on that's the order they work. Was always like that even in wimax devices. Switch to cdma while at home or connect to wifi.

I have the Sprint SPH-l900 Galaxy Note 2 and every now and then I pick up some 4G data in my house, but when it says "4G" the download/upload arrows wont turn on and I can't use any data, if i try to access the web after a few seconds it switches over to 3G. Sprint said they are "Testing" my market, Lakeland-Winter Haven area. Is this why? anyone have any ideas? I haven't left my town in weeks so I haven't actually used my 4G yet in a city with fully functioning 4G like Orlando so I dont even know if it works.
Hi all recently i have a problem with 4g signal my phone was working fine but now no 4g signal appear and when i open it just recieve whatsapp massege but i cant open facebook or refresh it because no signal !!
I'm having the same problem since I changed my SIM card to a 4G lte SIM. When I'm inside a building a lost all kind of signal and return to full then lost again. I disabled the 4g and keep using 3g and no problem at all.
i tried to use 3G but same thing no signal appear on top of screen
