[GAME] How many phones?

How many phones do you think I will go through equipped with 4LTE until I can actually use the 4LTE?
I am on my 4th 4G phone right now, still with no 4G.

Lol, until you're in an area that has 4G coverage?

Depends, check s4gru for your rollout schedule then check sprints network upgrade site and see if your schedule is up yet. S4gru has my area scheduled for phase 2 this year and sprint has my zip in the next 6month upgrade list. I've already had connection issues occasionally and when I've called sprint about it they've said they are upgrading the towers for network vision in my area and I should expect intermittent connection loss as they work on the towers, I've already seen a pretty decent jump in 3g speeds. I used to get 800kbps -1.2mbps regularly now peak I'm getting 1.2-2mbps and off peak 1.5-2.8mbps, and I never had 4g wimax here just decent 3g mostly because my house is in a sparsely populated area so my tower is well below load

Well I am on 2 now almost for sure going to be 3-4 before Reno sees any 4G. and now with the switch to LTE it is going to be even longer.

I would expect Sprint to roll out LTE much quicker than Wimax. The problem with Wimax is it was beta and LTE is VHS. Sprint stopped rolling it out when they realized they would have to transition to LTE in order to be competitive.

I forget the sprint site off top of my head but sprint.com has a tower upgrade site that lets you put in your address or zip and tells you all upgrades done in the prior 6 months or scheduled in the upcoming 6 months, there's a link to it around here somewhere I usually get to it from my account page on sprint.com

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.

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.

LAX 4g LTE

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'm around the Glendale area (L.A. suburb) and even the 3g around here sucks bad.

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?

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.

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.

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?
