How many phones do you think I will go through equipped with 4LTE until I can actually use the 4LTE?
I am on my 4th 4G phone right now, still with no 4G.
Lol, until you're in an area that has 4G coverage?
Depends, check s4gru for your rollout schedule then check sprints network upgrade site and see if your schedule is up yet. S4gru has my area scheduled for phase 2 this year and sprint has my zip in the next 6month upgrade list. I've already had connection issues occasionally and when I've called sprint about it they've said they are upgrading the towers for network vision in my area and I should expect intermittent connection loss as they work on the towers, I've already seen a pretty decent jump in 3g speeds. I used to get 800kbps -1.2mbps regularly now peak I'm getting 1.2-2mbps and off peak 1.5-2.8mbps, and I never had 4g wimax here just decent 3g mostly because my house is in a sparsely populated area so my tower is well below load

Well I am on 2 now almost for sure going to be 3-4 before Reno sees any 4G. and now with the switch to LTE it is going to be even longer.
I would expect Sprint to roll out LTE much quicker than Wimax. The problem with Wimax is it was beta and LTE is VHS. Sprint stopped rolling it out when they realized they would have to transition to LTE in order to be competitive.

I forget the sprint site off top of my head but sprint.com has a tower upgrade site that lets you put in your address or zip and tells you all upgrades done in the prior 6 months or scheduled in the upcoming 6 months, there's a link to it around here somewhere I usually get to it from my account page on sprint.com

Is it me, or has the 4G been lost in Tampa? It could just be my phone, but I haven't been able to connect to 4g in over a week.
It was working (at half the speed I usually get) 2 Fridays ago. But, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Tampa scheduled for LTE by the end of the year? If so, they could be working on the towers in your area.

I'm in Tampa as well and there is 4g its just hard to find. I live over in Seminole heights and there is a tower less than a mile from me and I've gotten it but its very weak. My 3g was giving it a run for its money...

If I understand correctly, 4G Wimax towers (owned by Clearwire) should have nothing to do with 3G CDMA / 4G LTE towers (owned by Sprint).
I have to turn 4G off and on a few times to get a decent connection and when I do it disconnects a minute later.. best places I've seen are near USF and on 275 between Westshore Blvd & downtown. Everywhere else sucks. Also I've never once had a good connection indoors
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I move around quite frequently and I find a decent amount of areas that have 4g, even in places that you wouldn't think it would be. If your near a Sprint store then most cases there will be 4g available. Inside the Tampa Pitcher Show, across from Sprint store, you can get service inside easily. Places out in Brandon and Valrico as well, in fact I was using 4g yesterday in IHOP out on 60. If LTE is covered as much as the current 4g then I'll be very happy... Oh and I thought I read that it was coming here this summer according to that unofficial sprint build out site. I won't contemplate even getting an LTE phone before then since 4g is so readily available for me, and we know how good the 3g can be at times.....
Noooooooo you guys are all wrong. 4G is there but its just incognito and invisible.
Im just messing.

I was just in Tampa yesterday and got 4G. Also got 4G in St Petersburg also.
is there a way to reset the 4g? for some reason I can't connect to it at all, after a data reset, network refresh, everything I can think of. is it possible to try to change the realm to clearwire instead of sprintpcs?

psst a little birdy told me july is when to look for some lte pickin's
So far, the only areas where i've gotten good 4g connections is near downtown, or closer to Oldsmar. I live in T-N-C and 4g is very sparatic (i think i spelled that right )
I have noticed its like that over on the east end of Fowler and Busch.. I'm not to sure why though.

4g in LI is a secondary market, but I bet they are already starting to change to Network Vision. The whole Island will have 4G LTE by mid to late 2013. As soon as the NYC market is finished your area will get a LTE bath.
I saw on the S4GRU map that Queens and parts of Hempstead was already being worked on for Network Vision.
yeah ive been hoping those predictions are true... i work in queens and am in NYC often, but haven't had to much 1x experiences there yet...
hear NYC should be by the end of this year, so hopefully wont have too long of a wait...
Dying for some LTE in the city and Bx, my phone is pretty much like a dummy model when I'm at work.

It is something that I could never understand, why networks upgrades for all the big cities happen slowly or never happen ?
I had to move out of AT&T because I was never getting 4g speed that I was paying for and not even decent 3G speeds, but cities like Dallas, Austin etc., have better speed and always get the latest and greatest network update.
Now Google Fiber , it is available only in Kansas City MO and Kansas City KS, how long before LA, SFO, NY, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, DC, Philadelphia etc big cities can get it ?
What is the basic fundamental reason for not upgrading technology in Major Cities ?

Its harder to get new spectrum in cities. Land has to be re-zoned and sold/bought. Not to mention, more people will be using the service in urban areas so it requires a lot of testing and more back end to handle the high traffic.

me- So when is San Diego getting LTE?
Sprint- What is San Diego? Is that a drink or something?
me- No. It's the 8th largest city in the U.S.
Sprint- Sorry but our "8" key is missing and we don't like "8" anyways so the answer is never.
San Diego has not been mentioned on any official lists but Ardmore,OK had LTE. All 24,553 humans and 30,000 cows with cell phones. Hope this is not another San Diego 4G WiMax trolling by Sprint.

setting up 4G LTE in small towns is cheaper than in big cities and allows them to have a better "number of 4g towns and cities" that 4g carriers love to mention in ads.

I received an email a year ago that Portland, OR would have it by the end of 2012. That did not happen, and now Oregon is not even one of the States listed as a market that is getting it. I guess they moved us to phase two or three. Kind of sucks because we were early in the wimax roll out.
I have to travel 30 miles to LA to even get LTE. Orange County is small but very compact. We were one of the first ones to get 4G WiMax but probably last for LTE
Is there a log or something where it shows all the cities that have been announced?

They're deploying through the New Orleans Metro area now. Not much so far but it's progress.
I'm so jealous of people that get LTE. I live in San Francisco and on the old 4G WiMax network, I used to get 4G at home and at the office. Now that I'm on an LTE phone, I only get 3G at home and at the office. The sucky part is that if I walk 1 block in any direction of my house or office, I'll get a 4G LTE signal. I really hope Sprint boosts the signal or add additional antennas so I'm not stuck in a 4G LTE deadzone for the next 2 years.....:crying:
Sprint Is just pure BS when it comes to any network rollout or advancements, thats just fact. even though they were bought out, its their corporate structure they need to change. On every level they are one of the most sloppy companies i have ever dealt with in my life. And seriously why would they roll out LTE IN BUTTVILLE and in ghettos. aND YES IM SERIOUS about that statement too. In Los Angeles, There is LTE alright but not where there are many people like to travel such as south LA, (south Central) yeah the LTE is crackin there!! No Lie
Here's a couple speed tests of when I went to GA a couple weeks ago. I got lte 80% of the time. It was nice. Can't wait to get it in NC.

Yea, that was uncalled for.
For the last part of 2012, I was getting great LTE speeds in downtown Houston. They ranged from 22 - 25 down and from 7 - 9 up. Nowadays, however, I'm only getting about 3.86 down, but still averaging ~8 mbps for upload. Do you think this drop in only download speed is due to people getting more and more LTE capable phones?
