I was surprise to find that ATT is actually testing LTE in southern California. In fountain valley, most of the time i get LTE but at my house, no LTE..bloody. Also i work in South OC and from Fountain Valley to South OC, no problem getting LTE. Love this phone more now that i can get LTE and HD screen.
Is your Nitro getting hot when its using LTE?
it does get hot but not related to lte. usually when playing game or something like that.

I have had my TP2 for a few weeks. I really like Tmobile' 3G, Where I live it's fairly reliable, I was wondering for others in the U.S. how is the coverage?
DC Checkin' in..
Here in the Nation's Capitol I'm loving the High-speed 3G plus being in the City there various Open Wi-fi Spots.. Sometimes i think there's 3G+ here from the blazing speed i get..

Sorry, I'm in Tampa FL, just south of Orlando my coverage is good.
I do field work all over the northeast, from Delaware to Maine. 3G coverage is spotty between cities, as expected. There are parts of the NJ turnpike where there's no signal at all! In Maine there's hardly any 3G up there. Compared to AT&T's 3G coverage, T-mo's is a step down, though the speeds are very comparable. I have a company supplied Verizon wireless modem that has 3G coverage almost everywhere.
New England is spotty at best...not completely upgraded there..NY is not bad, Chicago is great...

That's good to hear, I can't wait to switch to TM. AT&T has **** coverage just about everywhere for me. At work I'm getting 2 bars at the moment, which is 1 bar higher than I've ever seen before. My boss has an iPhone and he constantly has to walk to a window to make phone calls.

I live in Atlanta, and I must say the coverage is REALLY good. I get great connection speed as well. It's weird, I actually get better reception on my TP2 then I did on my Wing.
ATL GA, Coverage is good!
Decent in Denver
It's not too bad in the Denver area. Sometimes just a couple of bars, but seems to work fine.
Question on "My Location" Service (e.g. google maps). w/o the GPS turned on. For me, it only works if I disable 3G.
Perhaps there's not enough towers to triangulate.
I'm in Phoenix & I get 3G just about everywhere I go except work, but that's because that's 30ft underground at the hockey arena.
When I went to El Paso, Tx they had 3G in only parts of the city. I don't know why Tmobile would just implement it in certain parts. From what I hear the whole West side & most of the NE of the city has no 3G til January-ish.
@david Google Maps will not triangulate while on 3G with Tmobile. Its a known issue if you want to search.

This is pretty normal. GPS doesn't use a ton of battery life, so just leave it enabled in Google Maps.
And I am in Orange County, CA. Coverage here is awesome overall. I have issues at my home, but that is all. I have it solid otherwise with HSPA.
Here in Queens, NY and the 3G is great!!! 2-3 bars at home, mostly 2. But I don't have any problems at all with 2 bars on 3G. At work I get full bars!!!
I'm all good.
I live in Portland and I rarely have more than 1 or 2 bars of 3g. I'm a bit disappointed because my wife has almost full on her G1.
It sounds like TMO has done a fairly good job at rolling out their 3G. I must say they have been modest when it comes to bragging like At&t.
I am out in the west burbs of chicago. I get 1 bar 3g, if it's on 3g at home. Usually goes to 2g. I am in a bit of a weak spot for 3g. I don't use 3g much at home. Everywhere else it is very good. Doesn't cover as much as edge though. Just past aurora and it's gone. (Orchard rd at I-88 seems to be as west as it goes). They updated edge in western Illinois with the 3g rollout. It used to stop at dekalb but now it goes all the way to the quad cities. Sweet!
I was in Tampa when it was rolled out there. Near Brandon/Tampa/Riverview. (kinda near 301 and causeway). I get 1-2 bars edge. Nothing 3g. Very weak spot. They need a tower there!
Seattle Washington area. So far so good.
I'm in Tampa also, and the 3g here always has full bars!!!

SUXX here in NJ in certain places ( my home...lol) I have 1 bar and no 3G or even Edge in my house ...Tj
Just wondering if anyone knows when the Sarasota / Bradenton Florida area can expect to see Sprint 4G coverage. Closiest coverage area is about 30 miles north in a town called Gibsonton, just south of Tampa.
Thanks
im already receiving spotty coverage. they seem to have two towers in sarasota already; one on clark and one on 17th and one by oneco in bradenton. their coverage map is a little optimistic with coverage but from my 3rd floor apartment i can pick it up.
Thanks Bro, my office is just west of the Blue Dolphin car wash on Cortez. I do not have 4G here. But your news is good and I see light at the end of the tunnel.
Thx again....
Wow you guys really dont have 4g over there yet that sucks. Hopefully soon!!!!!
Nope, we don't. Had to drive up to Gibsonton to try it out the 1st time and even then it was spotty. A good job does take time however....
I'm south of you in Ft. Myers, and very very spotty 4G coverage just started popping up here too. I haven't actually been able to do anything on 4G yet, thats how weak it is, but at least it's a start, right?
ah, gotcha, thanks for the update and YES, a good job does take time.....
I live in Bradenton and work in Sarasota off of fruitville and honore near i75 , and can pick up a connection for MAYBE 2 minutes at a time . Near the Sarasota airport however I've picked up a signal for a decent amount of time ... hope it's coming soon, especially since Verizon's LTE kicks in on Thursday in SRQ / Bradenton

Im in Long Island,NY with no 4g..That really sucks....
Sarasota Bradenton is large and there is just a little bit in sarasota and none in Bradenton
I'm in a so called "best" coverage area and still get spotty 4G outdoors and none indoors.
I'm just outside of Tampa.
old post but update news
I am able to get 4g lte downtown b-town but kind of on/off
Cortez and 14th st area 4g lte 3-4 bars
Between university and fruit ville on 75 4g lte 2-3 bars but drops out quickly.
Wish I knew where that tower was...
Hey XDA,
Wondering what types of speeds you are seeing on uour GNEX on LTE in Miami. I tried one at a VZW store and it was barely going over 5Mbps... one store in one area isnt a great sample so I'm wondering what you all are seeing.
Any Miami peeps?
if i recall, i think it's around 4MB...
I would assume that Miami is a pretty crowded area LTE wise.. I wouldn't expect too much in regards to dl speed in an area where a lot of people have lte devices
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've got upwards of 12mb bidirectionally, but haven't yet run a test with that great of an LTE signal.
In SoFla the problem for many of us is that coverage seems solid east of the turnpike and in the Kendal area, but for the large numbers of upper-middleclass people living in West Sunrise, Weston, Pembroke Pines, etc who are in the position to purchase LTE devices, not so much. Not that no one lives or works out east or in Kenal, but I find it odd that such a large market has such a massive hole.
Anyone know if this (at&t) version will work on T-mobile HSDPA (3G) network?
My phone is unlocked.
I think ATT version is HSDPA 850/1900/2100, isn't T-Mobile run 3G only on 1700 ??

I think it depends on area, some places they already deployed 1900, so those areas should work fine.

Chicago, for example, is listed as being underway but not finished yet. My coverage varies in the suburbs (as of two weeks ago) but the change in the amount of coverage just in the last month has been spectacular. There are T-Mo blogs that cover what areas have been done and which are undway (DC, Las Vegas, South FL, LA, Bay Area and Silicon Valley are done; most of the biggest metro areas are currently "re-farming", as T-Mobile puts it). I will say that, once it's done, I'm getting solid three to four bar coverage with that nice little stylized 4G winking at me. Tested it the other day and got 12.5 down, almost 2 up (1859).

Yep! Confirmed, in Atlanta too. I get 3G most of the time and sometimes H+ in the Duluth area.
I get 10.87 down and 1.28 up.
I have an unlocked i747 running OAKP in TMobile.
Even tho in the pre release rumors there was suppose to be LTE in Fort Lauderdale there will be no lte in south florida only miami. I have lte now on my s4 but the singal sucks for example. on 4g ill have 3-4 bars but in the same area turn on lte there will only be 1 bar, Called tmo nd they are idiots dont know whats going on. so i guess they are having problems with the towers or the south florida is that important lol
Here what it says on the tmobile website
