Holy batwings, it looks like my area will actually be covered; although I'll believe it when I see it. lol
Haha, LTE in my little rural western PA, that gets me pretty psyched.

Makes me think twice about the Nexus....just becuz.. I know my Epic is better but I got multiple lines and would love to compare speeds

Saw this and cussed a little. Central VA ignored again. Knew WiMax wan'tt happening but figured with several Universities and Government installations around maybe LTE would make it here.
Thanks Sprint.
but you'll get roaming lte. better than nothing i suppose.
Niiiice. All of Maryland is covered.
Now I just need that blasted Galaxy Nexus...
why the gnex... give sprint like 2 months and get the one x seriously the gnex is so far behind even compaired to our phones.
sweet my area is in there....looks like my contract will be up next year so plenty of time to get an lte phone
I thougth when they dropped clearwire things would slow down?
my part of Arizona is covered

Clearwire was never dropped. You might be mistaken with Lightsquare.. Sprint always planed on building its own LTE network. Clearwire and Lightsquare are just extra support.

There is no roam agreement for lte and won't be unless the FCC mandates it .... Just like VZW doesn't let you roam 3g but certain circumstances....

They should.
I'm really surprised that it isn't a much larger area considering that Network Vision was supposed to bring LTE to every tower on Sprint's network and their network coverage was supposed to expand pretty significantly with the Network Vision project.
We'll see.
Am I missing something? Do they consolidate areas in some weird arrangement? The state lines are really f'd up can somebody explain this to me?
Based on this though I'm good since I live in Kansas, specifically Overland Park

Sprint has roaming agreements with the major carriers VZW etc but they don't allow roaming 3g but on certain prl ....so that is why people hack PRls to allow 3g like the 11115 corporate prl allows 3g in certain areas .... But most roaming on VZW is 1x

Ok so the question is.....
Will LTE coverage only be in areas where you have gotten or get 4g coverage or will LTE expand coverage a lil further?

Are you asking if Sprint is going to expand their 4G LTE coverage? If so, yes.

Read this site they have a lot of info on the 4g roll out

Sprint is strategically releasing LTE in limited markets soon. They will of course keep rolling it out over time to the best places they can. There's nothing that indicates they're going to just overlay their current WiMax network with LTE in that order. Eventually they want to cover their entire 3G network with LTE but that's so far off you can't even consider it right now.
It's going to be a very small, slow roll out.
And btw LTE is 4G. You need to refer to Sprint's legacy 4G network as "WiMax". That cuts down on the confusion...
Is it me, or has the 4G been lost in Tampa? It could just be my phone, but I haven't been able to connect to 4g in over a week.
It was working (at half the speed I usually get) 2 Fridays ago. But, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Tampa scheduled for LTE by the end of the year? If so, they could be working on the towers in your area.
Sent from my Epic 4G Touch
I'm in Tampa as well and there is 4g its just hard to find. I live over in Seminole heights and there is a tower less than a mile from me and I've gotten it but its very weak. My 3g was giving it a run for its money...

If I understand correctly, 4G Wimax towers (owned by Clearwire) should have nothing to do with 3G CDMA / 4G LTE towers (owned by Sprint).
I have to turn 4G off and on a few times to get a decent connection and when I do it disconnects a minute later.. best places I've seen are near USF and on 275 between Westshore Blvd & downtown. Everywhere else sucks. Also I've never once had a good connection indoors
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I move around quite frequently and I find a decent amount of areas that have 4g, even in places that you wouldn't think it would be. If your near a Sprint store then most cases there will be 4g available. Inside the Tampa Pitcher Show, across from Sprint store, you can get service inside easily. Places out in Brandon and Valrico as well, in fact I was using 4g yesterday in IHOP out on 60. If LTE is covered as much as the current 4g then I'll be very happy... Oh and I thought I read that it was coming here this summer according to that unofficial sprint build out site. I won't contemplate even getting an LTE phone before then since 4g is so readily available for me, and we know how good the 3g can be at times.....
Noooooooo you guys are all wrong. 4G is there but its just incognito and invisible.
Im just messing.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I was just in Tampa yesterday and got 4G. Also got 4G in St Petersburg also.
is there a way to reset the 4g? for some reason I can't connect to it at all, after a data reset, network refresh, everything I can think of. is it possible to try to change the realm to clearwire instead of sprintpcs?

psst a little birdy told me july is when to look for some lte pickin's
So far, the only areas where i've gotten good 4g connections is near downtown, or closer to Oldsmar. I live in T-N-C and 4g is very sparatic (i think i spelled that right )
I have noticed its like that over on the east end of Fowler and Busch.. I'm not to sure why though.

4g in LI is a secondary market, but I bet they are already starting to change to Network Vision. The whole Island will have 4G LTE by mid to late 2013. As soon as the NYC market is finished your area will get a LTE bath.
I saw on the S4GRU map that Queens and parts of Hempstead was already being worked on for Network Vision.
yeah ive been hoping those predictions are true... i work in queens and am in NYC often, but haven't had to much 1x experiences there yet...
hear NYC should be by the end of this year, so hopefully wont have too long of a wait...
Dying for some LTE in the city and Bx, my phone is pretty much like a dummy model when I'm at work.

I'm at LAX today and notice that my 4g was on. So I took a screenshot and speed test for my fellow Los Angelers... Los Angelans? I'm guessing Sprint 4g LTE is here?
Here is another one in downtown area, specifically the Chinatown area.
Same here near lax. Same as op

I heard that LTE radios had been a complete disaster because of excessive battery drain.
Is this true?
Yep, ever since yesterday when I noticed that my radio was switching between 3g and 4g, the battery sucked, literally. I work from 9 to 6 and normally, my battery would last until I get home, around 30-40%. As you can see on the ss, I came home with under 10%. Is it because I need to update my radio? I'm still on LEN.
This just proves that sprints service is far better then any other service out there, LTE proved to be faster in speeds then At&t, T-Mobiles and comes pretty close to verizons speeds. This is only on its testing stages. just wait til their is full coverage, people just need to be patient instead of complaining and switching because they cant be patient lolz.

Yes this is true now but it will slow down a bunch in the future the more people the get LTE phones. Hopefully they have the bandwitch to keep up. We should see speeds of 6-8 Mbps when said and done.

It's only cause there isn't a lot of people on lte yet like Verizon. Just wait until people start using it.

Maybe so, but i seriously doubt sprints network bandwidth would be alot slower then wimax itself, i dont think sprint is gonna let that happen, have minimum speed for everyone of 4-6mbps, that would really piss alot of people off and make em switch after what they got put throught. They would loose alot of customers that are expecting more then the wimax predecessor.
Hmm, anyone near Pasadena with 4G LTE?
