Network Vision is occuring in LA, you'll have 4G LTE soon. Just hang in there, it's tower maintenance.
Wow just earlier this month I searched for 4g lte in LA and I couldn't find anything. I searched Network Vision and see that we will probably have it going this September. Awesome. Thanks for letting us know.

Dont forget, you can always dial *18, its usually good to give u atleast one extra bar.
don't hold your breath but i was told the same thing and two months later nothing just saying don't get your hopes up.

Not going to happen in September, probably more like October or November at the earliest.

Oh yeah, you are right! Haha, I need to watch those movies again.
These were the other day. I'm in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and its been polling up all over. The speeds vary in different locations, but I haven't seen anything really bad yet. And its not even "officially" on yet.

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

Carrier pigeon is faster than Sprint 3g, so it doesn't take much.
But yeah. Those are pretty good speeds. Glad to see Sprint picking up their game.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.
Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.
Well I was sitting at work and bam, 4g came on, way to go sprint!!!! (Shentel for my area) So glad I hung in there, screw the haters!!!!

I really wish there was like a toggle or 4g switch like it was with wimax, this luck of the draw 4g kills me, but my main thing is I hope tethering comes back, sprint really blocked it this time

Does it work with EasyTether?
Yeah its really spotty and on/off for me. Weird observation though... I get 4g with my note in places I don't with my Galaxy Nexus.
Darn them, talked to a shentel rep (people that control sprint towers where I am) and these lte siting are just the test sites -_- but hey, at least full lte will be out at the end of the year for me at least, but hey for test speed of anywhere from, 8-20mb down?! I can't complain, but hey, I saw the same speeds with my wimax 4g, so to each his own

With Note 2 i get LTE everywhere in Dallas Ft. Worth. Even traveling to other cities through tolls where development is not really there. Just alot of trees. I even get LTE in most people homes. Nexus never had this strong of a signal and if LTE switched the phone would freeze. I can honestly say this is a good phone.

I am also seeing very little battery drain from 4G. The radios in this phone are amazing (especially compared to the Nexus).
I havent gotten my note yet but I was also really concern on how would lte and the battery would play. Are some of you guys noticing big drains or small drains with lte on?

Depends, since a lot of areas are tests sites, lte does drop on and off for me, but battery still lasts all day, I say Samsung got it right with the battery, hope other manufacturers follow suit

They have recently expanded their signal here in dallas, texas and now I get 4g on my work which I never usually got any 4g signal because of this old bulding but now I get some strong 4g signal. Props for sprint but my speeds are not that fast, I usually get max 5 or even 6 thats it :S

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

There is a small and I'm mean SMALL areas in Flint, MI where 4G pops on for me, I went to the Sprint store right by that area and the rep told me that they are installing for the area but are not announcing it since it isn't supposed to be live yet till later this year, but that it was working in some areas....

A friend that lives in Ann Arbor says they're working on the towers right now and that's why you when u stream music it cuts out, they want 4g up by spring apparently he heard through his contact at Sprint which was just a guy at a Sprint store.

A friend of mine that works for BestBuy mobile was told by his Sprint rep that their goal was to have most of the larger cities along the 94 corridor up by the end of q1. I would think that A2 falls in that category.

Not yet, but my source told me it was supposed to come on around the same time as Battle Creek. So far there is only 1 tower up here, so I think it's just in the testing phase right now.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, they are testing it now, to be officially "launched" they need 2/3 of the city covered, so when they actually do launch Grand Rapids, it'll be a lot more than just Alpine, and at this point, they could turn it off any day since it's not official
