Any reason I wouldnt be able to connect to 4g in a 4g covered area?

I currently cant connect to 4g at my house, sprint and clear show im in a good spot for 4g but I cant seem to connect. About 3 weeks ago when I got the phone I wasn't in a covered area but it appears they just added a new tower and now I am. I didn't try to connect again before I flashed a new ROM however. Ive also tried standing outside on my deck to no avail.
Specs are attached as well as my coverage map. If we can get this fixed I'll paypal you a beer.

The coverage map for my city is completely wrong. Using Sensorly to map for a couple weeks showed what I have already observed, massive holes in the coverage here despite Sprint showing solid coverage.
That doesn't mean that's the case where you are at. Find someone else who gets 4g and try yours in the same area.

Agreed, I believe that most coverage maps are for the most part utter BS. Try going back to stock to rule out rom issues. Were you ever able to connect to 4g in a known 4g area?

if you've installed the latest OTA and wimax and you have your phone rooted, this might be the problem.

Yeah I had connected a few times before I flashed just not at my house. Im going to be going to a place where I had service today and ill check if I can connect then.

3g speeds super low.

I've updated my PRL and profile several times. My old phone was slow too. Could something be wrong with my account?

It could be your area. Try testing in different locations. If it's still slow, then it may be your account.
Sometimes if you use a lot of data, there is some evidence to suggest sprint may throttle you.
The other thing could be your phone. If you have a lot of processes going, even ones that don't use data, it can still affect the phones ability to work properly.
I would try ruling those out and then call Sprint.
Evo running UD 2.5

Yeah my wifes phone gets about 500k compared to my 50 ish. 4g works good tho..

There is a thread for this already, a lot of people are having this same problem, including me. It started around November, when before, I would constantly get at least 1500kbps down and up, as both my home and work are less than a block from a tower.
After one day for some reason, I can NEVER get anything above 100kpbs, and it usually doesnt work at all. I have done everything, and sprint, stupidly, thinks that its a hardware problem every time, and since November, they have given me 5 brand new evo's. ALL have the exact same problem. I'm no expert, but 5 brand new phones dont all have the same problem. I have called CS MANY MANY times, and they refuse to check their end, saying every time that "our network is fine".
Whats weird, every friend I have on sprint, their phones are fine, even 3 year old phones. Whats even weirder, my friend with an evo, and the evo's in the sprint store all are fine. But with this thread on here, and a long thread on AF, there seems to be an isolated issue with a lot of people.

Well you can count me in as an isolated issue. My 3G has been fine for like 2 years now, and all of the sudden, I'd say the past month or more, total crap. It's taking me about 5 minutes or more to download a 2mb app update on the market. 4G is still good. I really wish I knew what was going on. I do the same Profile and PRL updates like the OP daily.

Well its definitely not my 3g being "slow". I am just not connecting to it. Qik errors and says I am not connected to 3g. My data status says 1x RTT for my connection. I need to call sprint.

Aaaaaannnnnnnndddddd.............Data outage, 3/13/12

My data is out again. Anyone else? South Fla.

Data out. New York City.
Can you change your title to show this content? Like Verizon data out March 13th?
Just easier for anyone else to check before they throw their phone to the nearest wall.
UPDATE: 3G is connected. Not 4G

PA - Lehigh Valley (Out)

And here I thought it was me. I guess I did a data wipe for nothing. O-well

3g and 4g data fine here in middle of nowhere... (Lincoln, NE)

Called VZW they have no knowledge of an outage. If your out give them a call.

3G fine here with Vodafone in Germany...
12,02 GB of usage today.

Obviously this is thread is for Verizon users... in America...

half an hr ago i lost 4g and 3g....rebooted, got 4g for a couple of mins and then went back out...waited 10 mins or so rebooted and 4g seemed to be back on. Gnex Charlotte, NC

Out here in Rochester MN since I got up at 5 am. No 3G or 4g. Called Verizon to see if they knew anything. They said they didn't know anything, but have started receiving a few calls about data outages.
Edit: 4G is back for me now.

Well surprisingly I get 4G but 3G is a no go.
Edit: Jynxed myself, no 3G or 4G, thank god for WiFi at work.

It's affecting me in Cleveland, OH too. I disabled LTE, still no connection. I rebooted, and 3G wasn't coming up. The phone is working, just no data (just want to confirm that).

Strange! I'm in Montreal and I've got zilch! I tried forcing to 2G only and still nothing. I'm sitting at a Starbucks and cannot enable Wifi either. Very strange!

Data Outage Chicago
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do they not know there is a data outage prior to people calling and complaining? Don't they have checks in place that alerts when equipment goes down and/or data or calls stop happening in entire areas?

Here in Metro Philly area I'm connecting at 1X off and on.

No data since at least 6am when I got up. 3G icon on the iPhone screen, no data, no emails, etc.
EDIT: South Jersey/Philadelphia suburbs.

I am all good here, so far. I disabled LTE yesterday though and never turned it back on.

2 foot wifi range with brand new Galaxy Nexus

So i picked up a Galaxy Nexus, was brand new (almost, package was opened but never used, checked the UPtime on the battery was only mins..) anyway. im and pretty certain it wasnt hacked or anything. it was just someone trying to sell their new free phone from a contract. model number i9250m
So i brought it to my GF's house, where i have never had any wifi issues, it would show normal good bars, connect and then get the IP.. internet would work fine, then all of a sudden, nothing.. turning Wifi on/off again, would sometimes allowe it to reset, but still, nothing more than 20 seconds... when i would use it in the bathroom (router is in the landlords on the other side of the wall.) it would work fine. No other devices in the house would give any issues over wifi...
SInce it was only 4.0.2 i though i would upgrade.. so i tried the nightly build cyanogen mod rom, cm-9-20120602-NIGHTLY-maguro-signed.zip still the same issue, even at my house, nothing, unless im 2 feet from the router.. 4-10 feet and a wall, no luck at all.
after some reasearch, they said change it to 5.0 ghz from 2.4, using one or the other didnt really change anything, (i think 5.0 didnt even work) i installed wifi analiser, here is what it is showing

with this reception, wifi only works from 4 feet. and is not that stable.. when it is connecting, it is super fast, but not consistant at all.
I have changed teh channel from 6 to 11, since wifi analizer said it was a better one..
I am using AWS (wind mobilicity) network. ANyone have any input or help?
thanks

i just replaced my new gnex for the very reason you stated. the phone also got very warm while charging and took grainy pictures.
so far the replacement is doing all 3 things much better.
i would suggest trying to get a replacement.

the funniest thing, i have 2 boxes (internet with built in router) and a seperate linksys, (used as a switch) i just disabled wif on the switch and everything works! that doesn really explain the problem at my g/fs house,
this was weird, because i was hacing the same issue with my Nexus S and an Ipad.. hopefully i dont have a faulty Wifi.. thanks for the help..

That's weird. You have super strong signal. I don't know why it isn't working. Haven't seen many posts about this issue.

[Q] Z1 Compact and 4G

Hi there,
I have a rooted Z1 Compact (used the UK firmware) on T-Mobile network, and I've just payed for a 4G data plan and also replaced my age-old SIM card with a 4G-capable one.
However, I still cannot register to the 4G network so I only have 3G. Could this be because I'm in Central Europe (Hungary, to be exact) so I should flash the CE ftf because it won't work with the UK one?
Thanks,
Ben

Check your access point settings and make sure you have 4G coverage.
Shouldn't be a matter of UK or CE firmware.

I've checked my settings and everything seems to be in order, and I'm in the capital which is covered by T-Mobile.
Interestingly though, I've flashed the CE firmware (without wiping) last weekend and now it seems to register on the 4G network, so it seems that my problem is solved, although I've yet to see the 4G sign when I'm on mobile data.

It might be a case of your data plan monthly date not being reached. Here in France, changes to a subscription are in effect once one reaches the day in the month on which the contract was started (if you started your contract on the 5th of the month, then any subsequent changes will be put into effect on that day).
My own Z1c has yet to show a 4g symbol, but my contract renews with the 4g option on the 25th... Wait and see.

So today I'm on the renewal day of my monthly contract, and tadaaaaa ! 4g now showing on the phone.

I guess I'll have to wait a bit more.
The whole story is this: I went over my monthly data limit a day or two before I posted this thread, so my net became crazy slow. I thought, might as well look at the mobile data plans again, see if they might have a better option.
Turns out they do have a 4G data plan with 1Gb transfer per month, for just a bit more than what I've paid for my plan before.
So I've switched my plan, and then I realised that my SIM card is probably not capable of 4G because it's basically from the past century.
Now, I have a brand new 4G-capable SIM card, and a 4G data plan that was supposedly activated on the spot, i.e. about a week ago. Still, when I try to connect to the 4G network, this is the message I get:
And it reverts back to the 3G connection.

Unfortunately that seems to be a dead-end as well. As far as I can tell it should be internet.telekom, and it is.

Yeah I probably just have to wait til the original plan expires or something. I'll call them if it's still the same after next week. Thanks for the help and enjoy your device
