LoS in San Antonio area....

Has anyone else in the San Antonio area been experiencing complete loss of voice and 3g service today? 4G has been stable though. I'm up by 410 and Bandera. My phone's been roaming off and on all day today. Multiple reboots and restoring different ROMs doesn't help it. Perhaps they're working on some of the towers.
Crappy speeds in Austin today, no los though.

Work at the best buy at the rim and I've been getting ppl in saying that they keep going into roaming a lot. I just do a profile update and perl and it seems to work.

There is a new prl this week 60687, and central tx is supposed to get lte service on first rollout, perhaps its all related?

Austin has as of last week 4% of what they planned done. Not sure where or how much of the area is included, but its happening.
Just updated from 60686 to 60687, SoCal. Thanks for the heads up OP

Been happening to me off and on for about a week now. I don't get 4G where I live near SeaWorld so I can't comment on that.
I was in and out of roaming a couple days ago too. But I'm about twenty minutes south of San Antonio. I wish I got 4g here
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
At least more places in tx seem to be getting 4g now. I was amazed to get it in Brenham area a few weeks ago. I was in the country too at least 10 miles off 290 and I fired up my 4g and was shocked when it picked up signal.

No but have been getting roaming a lot her in Live Oak by 1604 and 35. We went to Corpus yesterday and had roaming real bad down there.
I work in the best buy mobile at 1604 and 281, and my sprint rep told me that they're going to working on the towers for the lte roll out. This stuff is directly related, just some growing pains.
Edit: I also have gotten Los around the seaworld area.

I live by lackland afb and have had Los quite a few times in the last two weeks. Also roaming occurs a lot for some reason. Hopefully it'll get better

Sprint service or lack thereof

Why am I not getting 4G LTE?

Well, I have the Sprint Version and im in Dallas, whydo i stil lonly see 3g (SLOOOOW).
I have gone back to stock and unrooted, done the updates to LG2 etc, what the hell is wrong?
Thanks

You and me both. I spoke with someone with sprint and they said some towers were still being updated and that everything should be updated by July 20th but who knows. I have picked up the 4g signal a few times and the fastest down speeds I have gotten are 500kbps.
Sprint service blows...folks are having the same issue here in the 260, but atleast your bootloader is unlocked.
Yea sprint was supposed to have kc done and launched the other day. Apparently they only turned on a few towers around the city slowly and its slowly allowing more users onto the tower over time. Possibly to help prevent an overload of some sort.

My friend is having the same problem with his LTEvo but I've had 4g everywhere I go since Saturday.
Turn it off and then turn it on

False. Sprints lte markets have been launched, but the anticipated launch was met with 40% of the towers active. This means that as time goes on, the remaining 60% of the towers will turn on in due time.
Where in DFW has it worked, id like to see if im chasing my tail here.Im gonna call and ***** regardless.

I'm in fort worth but I'll be driving up to Frisco and through Dallas today and I'll post back everywhere I got it.
I have it at work not bad here

Where in Dallas, I am at 183 and regal row, just spent an hour on the phone with Sprint Tech support, took the phone back to stock LEN and still nothing but "3g".
I drove up to Inwood and 35, still no 4g.
Guess Ill take it back to the store.
i'm in canada using Telus and i notice it switches from LTE to Hspa ALL time... very random, even in the same place there's no guarantee what it will be on
This new article at S4GRU almost deserves its own thread here, but there are already too many on this general subject. Most of it may be news to folks here.

Do you guys know if there is an easier toggle between the two? I usually keep it on but I work in Lewisville and it's still not a 100 percent. Anyone that is rooted have you guys been able to pick it up?

While it was probably your provider just screwing up, make sure nothing on your end (like Google Voice) caused it to be wonky. If it continues, I'd bring it in and exchange it, see if that fixes the problem.
I was having problems with LTE in baltimore today as well. First time it was that bad since it went live. Kept disconnecting on me.

question about 3g speed and 4g connectivity

Hello,
I have been around for a while, since my htc hero. And I've trusted xda to fix the many issues that manufacturers leave in. However the are a few issues with my new Galaxy S III that are driving me mad and if I can't fix them I may have to return it.
So far my speed is terrible. My 3g speed is half that of my wife's Epic touch. My 4g speeds are fine but will randomly switch to 3g (and with lte there is no refresh button like wimax, so I have to use airplane mode). And 4g is slower than 3g when I try to download from the play store but fine in the browser.
If anyone can help that would be great. I can't search all that well from the app and I am on stock tw 4.1 just rooted. I already fix all of the prl updates and stuff.
Also sometimes a green checkmark appears in my notification bar and says preparing network.
Other than this annoying network issue I really like this phone. I would hate to have to return it for the lg optimus G

I had that same problem....I was averaging .8-1.3mbps. Its not the phone its the location your in. Finally sprint turned on lte tower 14 in roanoke tx. Data faster than home internet.

That's what I would think. But my wife's phone was working fine. I just returned it today. now Sprint still wants to charge me an activation fee. Sigh

Your wife's phone us on wimax yours is on lte. What you explained sounds like lte towers are being worked on and upgraded near you. Lack of signal going into and out I went through that for about 4 weeks then lte lite up perfectly after that.
