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.

My friend is having the same problem with his LTEvo but I've had 4g everywhere I go since Saturday.

Turn it off and then turn it on

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.

Wow

I bought a gn2 unlocked off craigslist for $450.00 cash.
Purchased a solavei wireless sim card.
60 bucks a month no throttle after any amount of data used.
Great coverage averaged 14 mbps down. Hmm with speeds like these hard to see how sprint stays with these guys.
For the first time in years I have been thinking of bouncing. From sprint to another Carrier . The blazing data speeds have me mezmerized. Solavei rides on tmobiles network. But at that price it may be worth a switch.
Bought the 2nd gn2 for a work phone. Gonna wait and see if sprint builds out the lte network in my area. But it's sad when I go back to my sprint gn2 and speeds won't pay 512 kbps on average.

I did the post just for you.
Honestly your best rebuttal would have been not to post.
Wasnt about how crappy sprints 3g is. But more about how fast tmobiles network is.
Been a sprint customer 15 years nothing new to me.
Hopefully the softbank acquisition helps Fix that.
And the post is phone related its a phone forum.

HSUPA+ compared to EVDO lol. If HDUPA+ on tmobile was always 14-15mbs download then they would have no need to roll out LTE. Thing is HSUPA+ cant maintain that speed.
Uh... nvm I am not going to explain... congrats on your unlimited highspeed data through tmobile.

HSPA+ ? Trust me even still in the dfw areas it's good averages 6 to 15Mbps. They don't need to roll out lte but normal consumers don't understand differences between 4g technology. And t mobile is truly using 3g but when pushed to its ultimate limits it hits 4g like speeds. But they don't people that obviously.but that's why gsm is so much better than cdma and other stuff too lol

Is Tmobile still "unlimited" - 5-10GBs then throttled to hell or is it like Sprint's unlimited?

I have tmobile and one of their major slogans sort of is "the only truly unlimited data plan". Ive used like 30 gigs of data the month I have owned my note 2 and have never been throttled. Usually get around 27mb 19 down. I notice no change in speed.

No they have a plan that's 5 and 10Gb with hotspot that's throttled but if you get the unlimited 4g plan it's cheaper and better setting how we can all get hotspot for free.

If Sprint were to release EvDo RevB or even RevC, it'd pull speeds of up to 30mbps, too. Problem is, lte becoming the new standard, it'll evolve the fastest and its cost efficient for Sprint in the long run (also cost efficient for any carrier.) This is why everyone's going to lte.

I'll end up selling the tmo note 2 sooner or later. I am really looking forward to Sprints new owners making major changes. Hopefully we. Get 1 year. Upgrades back. That kept me on sprint

Actually, I think softbank is a CDMA Carrier. I could be wrong though.

GSM certainly has its advantages, that's why I was with T-mobile previously. The HSPA is getting pretty fast at it's peak, but there are so many times when you don't get those numbers if you are in a heavily used area.
Having said that, I switched to Sprint because they are implementing the next wave of GSM (READ: LTE-A) before T-mobile will be finished with their GSM network (Read: HSPA+42)

Posted this on E4GT thread but this is great news.
Puts them in a position to have an LTE compatible device that could work in Japan, China and US.
For Softbank (and Sprint) that's big.

i though sprint had already bought them out? and it wasnt clear anymore it was just sprints network and their control?

This deal gives sprint about 5 times more lte bandwidth. ... Just kind of a formality since sprint owns a majority of it already but it would make it easier to roll out lte and they would answer to no one else ... cox and a couple other companies are owners of clear also

T-Mobile and My Experiences

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

Shot in the dark here but do you have any HSPA in your area? This thread gives some tips you can use to drastically increase speeds. Seems to have worked for most people.

LTE? that's only 4G. not LTE

That sucks, but like the other guy said, that's just regular 4G and not 4G LTE, big difference as I got a few patches of LTE here where I am, and it's at least 4 times faster for me,

Next year would be the time to start pitching the complaints just because they said at the end of 2013 it should be completely implemented but I've been with Tmobile from the beginning and they have bent over backwards to make me happy.
LTE is still in the beginning phase of being introduced so yes some people will be lucky enough to have early use but pitching a fit because your not one of the few that have it this early on is useless.

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.

Not sure if this test is valid looks like you had WIFI on at the time.
You're getting low pings (66ms) and over 1Mbps, which is plenty for a mobile device IMO.

Same here the 4G used to be great and where I live if I go over a couple blocks it'll switch to LTE but my house is 4G with terrible speeds where I used to get 5-6mb. At my job in Manhattan I get LTE and the speeds are great (10mb+) until like 9AM when it goes down to 2-3mb but it gets to the point I can't even stream a YouTube video.

That test was at my job where I have no WiFi. The test was a previous test about a week ago. The Wi-Fi you see enabled is because I took a screenshot while at home this morning. The test is done on LTE if you look at the network type listed.

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.

I did a test in Brooklyn yesterday and I got 24mbs download and 8 upload on LTE.

Sprint kicked me out...

Got kicked out yesterday. Sprint saw all my Roaming (PRL 1) and it also helped me the fact that there are a lot of coverage issues in the El Paso area because they are ¨upgrading¨ their antennas. In order for Sprint to waive the ETF their service has to be at less than 93% for 3 consecutive months in your area. In El Paso it is right now at 80 and it will be like that until october (3 months).
I have one rooted LGOG running Lifeless. Its brand new, I've only had it for a month (Sprint replaced my old one because my computer couldn't recognize it) and also have two Galaxy Nexus (one rooted running CM and the other stock).
If anyone's interested in any of those devices let me know. They all have clean ESN's.

To that end, I've done my best to ramp up my unlimited data usage to try to make it an issue, but they don't seem to care how much of that coveted Unlimited 3G I suck up.
This month I am sitting at 40 gigs so far with a week to go. 40 Gigs of 3G downloads. It has not been easy....

Keep doing it. They'll notice. Their policy says that if a subscriber is excesively roaming for 3+ months they will send a stop letter and will afterwards cancel the service...

Data speeds of maybe 10-15 kbs a second. I almost give up trying to do anything with the phone during those periods....except maybe fire a game up.

Sprint deserves to take it up the A**! I take full advantage of my hot spot...

I would if it wasn't such a massive downgrade from my cable connection at home.
Sprint 3G = 1 MBs Optimum Online = 45-50 MBs
Until I see it on a day to day basis with my own eyes I am gonna call bullsh*t on this Sprint 4G LTE network they advertise and some of you seem to be able to enjoy. Bullsh*t on Sprint.

I am sticking it to Sprint. I am averaging 6GB/day (roaming data)

WoW! Must be nice! WiFi in my area gives me 1-2 MBs if I'm lucky! 3G averages 50 KBs...4Gs a little better but not by much and 4Gs a hit and miss where I live. I use WiFi at my girls house but I've got none at home so I just tether my Optimus G to my 7 and alternate the 2 on a charger. Its enough for simple tasks like Google+ and email.
