LTE down in the Richardson Texas area?

Anyone having issues connecting to LTE in the Richardson area? I flashed pretty much stock with new radios from here - http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/stockrom-4-0-4-rooted-deodexed-zipaligned-plus-tether-mod
Haven't seen my phone connected to LTE today. Can't remember if it was on LTE before I flashed.

Mine dropped out for a while here in Houston, TX.

Thanks for the response. I will say I've never seen 3G stronger on my Nexus. Maybe Verizon is doing some network stuff.

Looks like its not a network problem. I'm guessing with the new radio, if you're in a weak LTE area it will stay on 3g and not constantly switch back and forth.

[Q-SPRINT] Is there any way to change the threshold to switch to LTE?

I live in San Antonio, and LTE was just switched on here. We have decent signal strength across the city, but my GN will always pick 3G if the signal is stronger even if I have an OK 4G signal. Is there any way to change this threshold so the device will stay connected to 4G? TIA!

I'd like to know an answer to this as well.

Sprint LTE performance

So how happy is everyone with the LTE coverage so far? I was in downtown San Antonio today and couldn't get a whiff of it anywhere. Very disappointing. I haven't gotten a chance to use it until now as I spend more time in the outskirts of the city where I don't expect coverage to be very good. It's one thing to have no coverage a few miles out from the city limits, its another to have absolutely no signal across the street from the Alamo itself.

I live in San Antonio, and outside at my work downtown I catch it every now and then. Keeping a connection is difficult, it will show 4g then time out while trying to load something, and revert to 3g.
That's pretty much everywhere around town. I've also noticed that turning data off then back on will cause 4g to reconnect. I dunno if its the hardware, the network or what.

I live in town Atlanta, first city to go live. Live my ass. Never had a whiff of it in most any part.
Evo LTE. Biggest disappointment of a new device ever. Throttled by the very worst data speeds of any carrier, Sprint.
Got me a T-Mobile prepaid account. Speeds are 10x faster and up.
In the words of Lewis Black......
f Sprint!!!

4G LTE? I'd be happy with 3G ...

I've hit good spots of LTE here in the houston area. As a matter of fact, about 1 mile down the road from where I live, I've gotten speeds as fast as 35 mbps down, but usually 15-18 mbps. The sad part of this is that I have to live 1 mile from this, where I am getting only 1 bar of consistently dreadfully slow 3g signal. I would say the LTE coverage is definitely growing, and I'm probably getting an LTE signal almost half the time I drive around town. It hasn't gotten to the point I expected it to be, but not the worst.

[Q] does anyone have 4g?

hey guys i was wondering if any of u guys have 4g because when i got my phone i asked about the 4g and they said satelite wont be setup till late october or november and when i go to school and i enter my class on the 3rd floor i get 4g which is fastttttt but then when i leave its 3g or no bars does anyone have an idea when its coming or something?

You must get it on the fourth floor because you are closer to the satellite. As they upgrade the satillites you will notice it working on the 3rd floor then second, then everywhere.
Maybe telling us what city you are in to begin with would be appropriate?

I do know they are working on the towers cause I started getting 4G about a week ago at my house in Fayetteville, GA

No LTE in NYC
S3 isn't even wimax capable

As Sprint continues their Network Vision deployment, 4G signal will become better and better. However, even with max signal outside of a building, you may still only get 3G inside (depending on the building). Since Sprint's 4G operates on the 1900 band, it doesn't have as much in-building penetration as Verizon/AT&T which operate at lower frequencies. Additionally, 4G simply cannot reach as far as 3G...and 3G cannot reach as far as 1X. This is just how the technology works, unfortunately.
Sprint's LA Metro area is scheduled to have all of their Network Vision (4G) tower upgrades done by January 2013. LA North was supposed to start in Jan. 2013, but it looks like they are starting early as of this month. Overall, Network Vision should be done by end of 2013.
In Chicagoland, 4G LTE has started appearing all over, even with official coverage in some areas. My phone usually jumps between 3G and 4G multiple times a day, depending on how much traveling I am doing.
As always, check out coverage.sprint.com for the offical 4G LTE coverage maps in your area.

[Q] 4G threshold

Ok so in oakland CA Sprint apears to have been lighting up their 4G LTE network, I randomly connected to it last month, and just the other day it was on stable all around my Apartment. Getting up to 11Mb connections.
Today the 3G seems to keep jumping on, in preference of the 4G inside the best signal strength i've seen is ~-77 to -81dBm, and as bad as -93
It would be really nice to be able to force 3G to sleep, or to change the dBm threshold timeout :|
Anyone figure out how to do this, even a low strength 4G is much faster than the 3G network in my area. This is super annoying, some of the other droid OS's had an option to turn off 3G, but not Jelly Bean apparently??
Thanks Guise.

Go into your mobile settings and there are several options that will work...cdma/lte.

Sprint is not suppose the release LTE officially for the Bay Area until June or July so they are still in the testing phase.

Ahh good to know I've been wondering why it keeps coming in and out sporadically, and that's only partially correct its already in the North Bay, which is Why I got a Galaxy Note to replace , my E4GT. Since I spend most of my time between North Bay and East Bay SF.
I was actually getting Decent 4G speeds out on Alcatraz, which you can see my LTE trail from the Pier to the Island on Sensorly Maps.
