Service Outage!

I am in the Tampa Florida market. My service has been fine all day up till about an hour ago. I can not make or receive calls or connect to data. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having a problem or if it is just me!

flash a verizon prl in the meantime! or try forcing roaming with roam control. tho verizon prl is betterrr. press the update prl button in settings when you get service back.

I am actually in Port Richey. I did find out that 2 of the 3 towers in my area are down!

fwiw
Fwiw I live in central texas and they have had issues with towers going out......I'm just curious if it may be them working on the lte network upgrade(heres for hoping)

I have been having problems in the Memphis TN area since November. Like the prior poster said, hopefully it is Sprint upgrading their service!

Whereabouts in Orlando? I'm by Conroy and I4 and have had poor signal and speeds for a long time. Even with my EVO. I max out at about 1500/1200 on 4G and 200/150 on 3G.

I know sprint has been upgrading their towers. Here in Florida some were down for a couple of days. They promised 4g here and never got it.

I got dropped connectings and slow data on 4G yesterday in LA

And now, Im in an area where I get full 4G, and its completely GONE.

No 4G in Tampa,FL

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.

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.

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?

saint pete, we have full wimax coverage over here
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.

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.

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.

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.

Good to hear they spreading LTE fast. I got lte signal from my place to my work. Northside Chicago to Ohare Airport. Got the same speed as you but usually 16-25Mbps is the highest Ive ever seen so far.

me- So when is San Diego getting LTE?
Sprint- What is San Diego? Is that a drink or something?
me- No. It's the 8th largest city in the U.S.
Sprint- Sorry but our "8" key is missing and we don't like "8" anyways so the answer is never.
San Diego has not been mentioned on any official lists but Ardmore,OK had LTE. All 24,553 humans and 30,000 cows with cell phones. Hope this is not another San Diego 4G WiMax trolling by Sprint.

setting up 4G LTE in small towns is cheaper than in big cities and allows them to have a better "number of 4g towns and cities" that 4g carriers love to mention in ads.

At least it's in Minnesota! I heard December for up here (Forest Lake) and still not getting it. I've gone this long without it so it's not a big deal but I'd be nice if they could stick to what they said. Almost February now and nothing! I update my profile almost daily.

I received an email a year ago that Portland, OR would have it by the end of 2012. That did not happen, and now Oregon is not even one of the States listed as a market that is getting it. I guess they moved us to phase two or three. Kind of sucks because we were early in the wimax roll out.

I have to travel 30 miles to LA to even get LTE. Orange County is small but very compact. We were one of the first ones to get 4G WiMax but probably last for LTE

Is there a log or something where it shows all the cities that have been announced?

They're deploying through the New Orleans Metro area now. Not much so far but it's progress.

I'm so jealous of people that get LTE. I live in San Francisco and on the old 4G WiMax network, I used to get 4G at home and at the office. Now that I'm on an LTE phone, I only get 3G at home and at the office. The sucky part is that if I walk 1 block in any direction of my house or office, I'll get a 4G LTE signal. I really hope Sprint boosts the signal or add additional antennas so I'm not stuck in a 4G LTE deadzone for the next 2 years.....:crying:

Sprint Is just pure BS when it comes to any network rollout or advancements, thats just fact. even though they were bought out, its their corporate structure they need to change. On every level they are one of the most sloppy companies i have ever dealt with in my life. And seriously why would they roll out LTE IN BUTTVILLE and in ghettos. aND YES IM SERIOUS about that statement too. In Los Angeles, There is LTE alright but not where there are many people like to travel such as south LA, (south Central) yeah the LTE is crackin there!! No Lie

Here's a couple speed tests of when I went to GA a couple weeks ago. I got lte 80% of the time. It was nice. Can't wait to get it in NC.

Wtf kind of ****ery statement is that?! I'm 100% Puerto Rican and although I was born and raised here in the states I travel a lot to PR. I have a good job in the medical field and can afford an lte device. In fact I have three on my account right now with two wimax devices. That statement is a bit offensive bro..

Yea, that was uncalled for.

For the last part of 2012, I was getting great LTE speeds in downtown Houston. They ranged from 22 - 25 down and from 7 - 9 up. Nowadays, however, I'm only getting about 3.86 down, but still averaging ~8 mbps for upload. Do you think this drop in only download speed is due to people getting more and more LTE capable phones?
