Just talked to a good source from sprint and was told LTE is underway in Tampa Florida and should be live in August don't know if anyone knows about that but if not now you do

U will know when they are starting to release it because their will probably be more outages around the area from them trying to get the network right just like with Verizon. I've seen a couple of threads for places where they are trying to get it up now reporting outages

Thanks! As a USF student this is great news. I got my Galaxy Nexus and honestly thought I wouldn't be using LTE till sometime in 2013 but if this is true that is great news.
I'm a Brandon Verizon Gnexus user, but I'm glad the Sprint Brethren will be getting LTE sooner rather than later, I'll be sure to pass this on to my friends with Sprint :3
U might have it sooner Then that june first wave has set some florida citys more like july first

I also live in Brandon, verizon gnex. I get a good connection to 4G and then data completely drops after a short period. My phone or is anyone else having this issue?
Forgive the Hijack, just thought having the attention of locals was a good opportunity.

Lol @ OP, is this a serious complaint? 7 minutes after the ball dropped.. really? Cell networks always die on New Years Eve. Millions of people simultaneously picking up the phones/sending texts at the exact same time will do that. It passes, get over it.
I could barely get a text message out last year.
This year with Verizon 4g I was able to skype my family at midnight.

Guys--
Live in northwest suburbs outside chicago and have LTE signal out of nowhere. Specifically Bartlett,IL next to elgin/st charles/carol stream. I cant run a solid speedtest since it locks up when it checks for upload speed but got 6meg down with less than 70 millisecond times. It was going in and out im assuming from testing but it seems more consistent as i type this. Will upload speedtest results if it stops locking up.

There are several towers in Rockford that are scheduled for NV upgrades in August, so you might see something within a month or so.

When we were without service last month for a day Sprint told me they were adding lte to all the towers. It hard to believe anyone because nobody knows when there gonna flip the switch for sure. Sprint could of handled this better by not telling people next month or in August because the Sprint reps are consistently telling people anything to shut them up, they could have been like we're not sure and leave it at that. I wouldn't mind waiting if 3g was really 3g like on T-Mobile or [email protected] but it's really slow and unusable. I would never in my life consider there service worthy of a smartphone . I can't even stream a two minute video on YouTube it's ridiculous. This is the main reason people are so impatient ,I'm new to Sprint only a month in but i can't believe people been with these slow speeds so long, i would of jump ship along time ago. No lte by october then im off to Verizon or [email protected] where i can use my phone in a productive manor.

Actually, Samsung (the OEM) is handling the actual NV upgrades, and they've fallen a bit behind schedule from where they should be. I'm pretty sure those towers were probably originally scheduled for July, but got bumped back like a lot of them have. Sprint's really just waiting on Samsung and the backhaul providers to get everything going before they can finish it up and green light the tower.

Part of the reason why you're getting such slow 3g speeds is BECAUSE of the lack of 4g. When every single smart phone user is only using 3g, (and has unlimited data) is slows the network for everyone. Once lte is up and running we'll see speed increases in 3g as well. Just wait it out. Sprint is hands down the best deal in wireless, has great customer service, awesome phones, and unlimited data. The speed will come.

I don't blame you guys. If my service is still as bad as it is now when my contract ends I'll be leaving as well. LTE is great and all but hell I barely get 3G now. So we will see.

Arizona got minimal coverage over WiMax. We still aren't on that list anywhere. At least, I've noticed a significant improvement on 3g in my area. I was sorely tempted to jump ship to a more expensive GSM option for all five people on my plan. HSPA+ would almost be worth the extra $ each month.

I'm in Houston, and we went live in July. However, actual LTE coverage is very spotty. I live 1 mile away from an area that gets 4 bars of LTE, and I painfully only get 1 bar (if lucky) of 3G slooooow data at home. Very frustrating. And its like this for most of the city, from what I've experienced.

Houston here also. I got the phone about a month ago with only one spot of lte. Now I'm covered just about everywhere I go now. They just lit up a tower by the house now. Just about every week I find a new tower. I'm on the westside of Houston.
Check out this app it will give you an idea of where lte is. Its based on user input so it might not show everything.

I have not had 4g working on my Epic at all unless I was all the way on the other side of town. Now I know for a fact that LTE is not in my area but for the hell of it I activated my old LG Viper LTE and what do you know, I have constant 16 meg download on 4g. Anyone here that might have an idea of why this is? I really want to use my epic but wow this 4g stuff is nice too.
the 4G in our phone is on the wimax network, not LTE
:facepalm:

No I don't think that's possible... I'm pretty sure that Sprint and Verizon (or anybody else) would use the same frequencies for their 4G... they want it to stay fast... trial period is most likely
This Network Vision thing Sprint has been talking about is real. Lots of new LTE towers up recently all over the country. And no there is no 4g roaming between carriers.
4g LTE roaming is not possible between any of the carriers.
ATT LTE uses low 700mhz block & in the future, some AWS and WCS.
Vz LTE uses upper 700mhz block & in the future, AWS.
T-mobile LTE is AWS
Sprint LTE is PCS 1900/ SMR 800 / BRS-EBS 2.5/2.6ghz
I will give sprint a call tomorrow and ask because I need to know if I need to get a good lte phone. Can't even get any 4g on this phone.

Except it came out 9 months ago and the nexus 4 has already replaced it. Its got a weak camera, low RAM, poor display and did I mention it's old. If it was any phone but a nexus it wouldn't be getting updated anymore and headed for EOL, which it will be EOL less than halfway thru your new contract

My wife has a nexus. Its not bad but it came out before the e4gt. Hers is the verizon version. It does run good for having inferior cpu. Lte radio is a plus. No gorilla glass! Shes shattered 2. Overall great phone just lacks features from s3, but its basically free now. Lte is being built in my town now. So maybe few months and its live letd hope s4 is out.
