WiMax is dead. One of the slides says they will use WiMax through 2012. From what I can tell our phones are useless /w LTE. The upside is LTE won't even begin deployment until mid 2012. I am guessing 2013 before we see major LTE rollout AKA we will be near new phones by then.

WiMAX devices will be sold through 2012; LTE rollout will begin in major markets in 2012, with devices coming at the same time. WiMAX isn't going anywhere for a while.
Multi-tech chipsets are going to be a priority.

i still like wimax better

I would be worried about the wimax lte issue but i rarely use sprint network for data unless i absolutely have to. Im consistently on wifi. It would be nice to have lte but it really isn't a necessity.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

This is going to be ugly! I can see now our speeds are really about to head back down hill... they are not saying anything about how they will handle all the new iphone customers. Seems they are betting all this on the FCC approving their 800 spectrum with lightsquared, and from my understanding the government is still not sure it would not cause problems with gps so that's not any time soon!

Obviously it's disappointing for all of us who just signed a two year contract on a phone that will be basically obsolete in 6 months when LTE rolls out.
However you can't live your life always holding out for the next big thing.
Wimax 4g works well for me in most of the areas I frequent and will continue to work in those places for the duration of my contract.
Even 3g speeds aren't that bad. And I have true unlimited, I'm wifi tethering, etc. etc. so, look at the bright side. I figure when I become eligible for a new phone the new LTE network will be ready for prime time.

Exactly!! Even if we were to get an lte handset when they come out in about 6 months the lte network would still be in its infancy and we wouldn't get the coverage we have with wimax.

Network Vision rolling out in LA Market!

I just thought I'd let you guys Sprint has started upgrading the towers to Network vision here in Los Angeles.. The past two days my service has been down (obviously needed). Larry from the howard forums commented saying Sprint has started upgrading the towers in the Los Angeles market.. If you notice little to no signal you know why! I have already noticed a jump in speed from 40kbps to 1000kbps.
larryt510 said:
They have begun work on network vision here in the LA market (including those zips you listed). Only a handful of sites have been completed so far but more will be coming soon. I do not believe it would cause any long term outages though as the sites are normally taken off line (if necessary) at a time when there's the least impact on the users.

San Fernando Valley here, got 831 down 568kps up on 3g. Little difference, maybe because at home I get 4G already. Will report again in a couple of days... I'm hoping that 3g will be usable at my school!

Nice, hopefully Seattle will get this soon as well.

I'm getting 2mb down at my house now. Sprint is finally listening to us.

I was just in LA (Century City) and speeds were noticeably faster than they had been in the past. I was getting 1200kbs consistently and the signal was strong. San Diego was much slower. Now I can't wait until Sprint upgrades here in Portland. 4G is very spotty in the places I spend most of my time.

Sprint LTE DFW TX

Has anyone around here seen any signs of LTE coming on? I live in Haltom City rite off of 820 and Beach st and I had it a few days ago on my EVO LTE I'm assuming they were testing and I've since switched to the GS3 for obvious reasons.. anyway I'm seeing glimpses of 4G all over the place today here's some speed test results.

I'm starting to think that maybe Sprint's LTE isn't going to be as fast as other networks, that way they can keep unlimited data. I don't know if that sounds stupid or not, just a thought. But I'll be ok with 8MB or up, I don't even get 1MB right now on 3G.

I'm getting 20mbs and above right now. I'm happy with that

Sprint's coverage map says we're blanketed in LTE coverage. I wonder what's going on. And shouldn't 3G work if it can't find an LTE connection?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

3g does work but it is a little annoying because it seems to take up to 15 secs to reconnect to 3g after disconnecting from 4g.
On a sidenote I was in a sprint store today. The Htc evo lte had 4g with 4 bars. I put my s3 in airport mode and back to see if it would connect to 4g but it still went to 3g. I did not have time to test the data connection on the evo.

By default on Sprint phones the bars only indicate VOICE coverage. They have nothing to do with 3G EVDO or 4G LTE reception. I have aseen a few custom ROMs that split the bars into two for voice and data, but the regular software doesn't make this distinction.
There is a chance you could be connected to one tower for voice but evdo is down on it so you are using a different tower for data, and an even higher likelihood with LTE since most towers haven't been upgraded yet.

Top one is from this evening in New Braunfels. Nice.
