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.

Yeah, nothing official on that site, but they really seem to know what's going on. They're projecting an August/September timeframe for the LTE to come on around Chicago which makes me happy. I'm going to have a hard time waiting with just 3G as it's horrid around this area, but hopefully they'll start getting it together soon.

Looks like the Detroit area is getting left out of the fun again. First no wimax, now its looking like we're not invited to the lte party either... What is their obsession with the Grand Rapids area? Is there a corporate headquarters there or something? On the bright side, I'll at least get a good signal when I go out that way to my cottage during the summer!

Will our phones just have a 4g indicator at the top when using it? My area is rolling out and done by Fall but I heard it was possible to get some reception as they keep building towers throughout the Summer.
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.

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.

Its normal for it to do that. It detects 3G being stronger and switches. You have to put it in LTE only mode. Its a dialer code. Or you can you a JB ROM that has that option like cm10 or CNA.

I guess all I can say is just because a coverage map says you have service doesn't mean you will. There are a lot of places that I've seen have coverage according to the map (back when I had Sprint and now T-Mobile) that just don't fulfill that promise. There are so many factors that come into play in the real world when getting a signal that just can't be represented by a coverage map.
Not to mention that Sprint's LTE network is extremely new and hardly rolled out to full strength.

At the big golf tournaments here in Florida or at any Football stadium, the towers are always oversaturated. In some markets, AT&T provide Sprint's backhaul so it's possible those were related.

So your friends with Sprint didnt have problem. But yet you did.. So seems to be your device and not Sprint.
Unless you meant to say your friends with Sprint ALSO had problems.. in which case the network operated normally. It was a festival with over loading. It happens.

So I have the S4 now and I've been complaining to T-Mobile about the poor download speeds in neighborhood in Brooklyn, NYC as if I live in the boondocks. I finally got a response from T-Mobile saying that oh well it looks like there isn't enough bandwidth in your area and there's nothing you can do. Which is ironic considering the slew of ads they have bashing AT&Ts bandwidth and bragging how great they are (BS). See attached for the wonderful LTE speeds I get. And it's all the time as you can see, not based on time and the network being clogged up. I work in midtown Manhattan where between 10AM and 6PM the network is barely useable to which they said "well a lot of people are probably on it".
I'm surprised they didn't tell me to move somewhere else.

Is Brooklyn even one of the officially supported areas? Or is LTE on but not officially?
Even since they started rolling out LTE in my area my 4g has gone to crap. I get mostly the same speed as the OP now when I used to get 8mbps prior to LTE roll out. It happened at home and now its happening at my work. I really hate it cause inside my work I dont get LTE and just get 4g. And at home I get LTE a block a way but no LTE where my house is so I'm stuck with the new slower 4g.
Man. Those speeds you posted were faster than I usually used to get with Sprint. In the Chicago area, my last three T-Mobile tests are:
5644 kbps / 1590 kbps
7183 kbps / 1074 kbps
8036 kbps / 6006 kbps (LTE in moving train)
14983 kbps / 12024 kbps (LTE stable)
Not bad.

I have the HTC One on AT&T and SGS4 on TMO. I've found outside of AT&T's LTE area TMO being faster, but not always. AT&T seems more consistant everywhere I go, TMO, there's either drop to edte, no service, or killler speeds. I have not hate to either carriers, nor a fanboi of any of them nor any device.
Long story on why I have both, basically had to do with credits owned me on TMO and sales of older devices I had right out.

I don't think you get the point I was making, I could see being mad if LTE was out for a few years and your being told you should have it on Tmobile but it's just starting literally. This has nothing to do with att and their coverage but I've had att and Verizon in the past and no Cell carrier can promise perfect coverage.

So I have the S4 now and I've been complaining to T-Mobile about the poor download speeds in neighborhood in Brooklyn, NYC as if I live in the boondocks. I finally got a response from T-Mobile saying that oh well it looks like there isn't enough bandwidth in your area and there's nothing you can do. Which is ironic considering the slew of ads they have bashing AT&Ts bandwidth and bragging how great they are (BS). See attached for the wonderful LTE speeds I get. And it's all the time as you can see, not based on time and the network being clogged up. I work in midtown Manhattan where between 10AM and 6PM the network is barely useable to which they said "well a lot of people are probably on it".
I'm surprised they didn't tell me to move somewhere else.
Basically I'm getting tired of all the LTE posts I'm seeing on here
