[SPRINT]Post here When LTE gets turned on In Atlanta.

I am in metro Atlanta and am in the coverage area for LTE. No LTE yet as of 9:30am 7/14. Please post here when you get LTE in your area if you are in Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Edit: SPRINT LTE

Working fine in Kennesaw, i believe its been turned on for awhile.
edit: I'm on ATT, not sure which carrier you're referring to.

Are you asking about Sprint or Verizon?
Cause I get 27mbps down and 19Mbps up on Verizon at my home in Acworth and 37/27 at work in Vinnings.

I believe there was an outage on Verizon in some areas because of the storm.

Maybe Sprint really is waiting till tomorrow. We got an email at work they would turn it on a day early in preperation for launch 7/15. I will keep post updated if I see it switched on.

From S4gru it is Live in Suwanne,GA at the moment.

are you sure that you have 4g coverage in your area? if you can make absolutely sure that you do, then try downloading the app Phone Info from the play store and mess with the settings for network type.

Kansas City has LTE. I've been all over the city today and nothing changes. Even if there is no LTE, shouldn't 3G still work?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I've had that happen to me too around KU MED. I think the lte tower might be having issues. However i was out in olathe today and had great lte coverage. Im on stock lg8 rooted. I was worried up until today. I think we'll just have to wait till all the towers are up. I believe they only have about 20% completed here in KC so far.

I have the same issue. I get the 4g in the notification bar. Seconds later when trying to use it it goes back to 3g. I can't even run a full speed test with out it switching. I am in KC also and have try a numerous location. I am wondering if I have a defective phone I signal bars also change often when on 4g. One second full to one bar. I am on root stock lg8

Sprint's coverage map says we're blanketed in LTE coverage. I wonder what's going on. And shouldn't 3G work if it can't find an LTE connection?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

3g does work but it is a little annoying because it seems to take up to 15 secs to reconnect to 3g after disconnecting from 4g.
On a sidenote I was in a sprint store today. The Htc evo lte had 4g with 4 bars. I put my s3 in airport mode and back to see if it would connect to 4g but it still went to 3g. I did not have time to test the data connection on the evo.

By default on Sprint phones the bars only indicate VOICE coverage. They have nothing to do with 3G EVDO or 4G LTE reception. I have aseen a few custom ROMs that split the bars into two for voice and data, but the regular software doesn't make this distinction.
There is a chance you could be connected to one tower for voice but evdo is down on it so you are using a different tower for data, and an even higher likelihood with LTE since most towers haven't been upgraded yet.

Top one is from this evening in New Braunfels. Nice.

Hey Santo, I have to agree. I live up in Marysville Washington and I used to only get 30-120kbps from 3g. Now I'm up to like 1mb. It could be the new phone radio technology to though

Hmmm...I have connected to LTE but haven't done a speed test yet. Will need to do that however my speeds seemed to be fine. Have heard others having issues with 3G after flashing JB also.
What modem are you running currently?

I was running the jellybean leaks in boston and lte was working fine with the phone way higher speeds than that about 20-22 Mbps

Whatever is stock. I am wondering if there is just a bad LTE tower here in downtown Atlanta. I'll have to run another speed test when I get home tonight, for the sake of comparison.

Yeah, check more than one tower and see if you're still having the issue. I never ran one of the 4.1.1 leaks or the 'official' ROMs yet as I'm waiting for a few more enhancements to be made.
I did however put BlackBean6 on last night (AOSP ROM) which is 4.1.2 I believe. Ran a few tests with LTE to make sure all was well and I was getting about 8 down and 6 up if I remember right.
I just flashed the LJ7 modem the other day too, though I haven't noticed much of a difference from what I was on before.

nope, i'm getting strong speeds in san antonio. its either the tower you were connected to or it was in the middle of 3g/4g handoff.

That's funny because I'm getting terrible speeds on San Antonio, less than 4mbps :-\

I tried the latest modem and found that, in San Antonio, I get better speeds on the LIH firmware. With that, I've seen as high as 32mb/second, but most of the time the LTE speed is about 10, which is very fast. Try reverting to the LIH modem--the link can be found in the development forum, in the OP of the Jelly bean 4.1.1 official leaked thread.

I do on occasion, but its because our 3G network is over loaded. they have us set to get LTE @ some point. its all based on how hard your tower is being hit and very little to due with your phone or sprint as a whole.

all good here ; )

Maybe Sprint is upgrading the towers there. I heard the speeds get slow while the work is under way...

New LTE towers in Austin installed this month. Lays just say I'm not complaining.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Doesn't this phone not have EVDO but SVDO or something of nature? When it comes to 3G it all depends on your location to pick up SVDO speeds. During speedtests in my area, with full bars, I'll get 1.2mbps down but most of the time I struggle to hit 1. In my girlfriends neighborhood...it is constantly 2-3mbps down. I would imagine because her 3G towers are upgraded already? The only reason it doesn't bother me is because I actually have 4G LTE most of the time in my house and whenever I go outside or down the street etc.

Data speed is awful here....even close to the tower.
When I upgraded to the Note 2 they took away my discount. Now I have crappy data AND a higher bill. We aren't supposed to get LTE until end of 2013 in St. Louis. I really don't think we will get in the small town I live in at all. So, I think I am taking this back and switch to AT&T. What good is unlimited data if its so slow that I cant use it. At&t us the only option. T mobile and vzw have no coverage here. Sprint was of no help including the retentions department. BYE SPRINT

Switched towers in the speed test app. Forgot to screen shot the original test. Once I get to work tomorrow morning, ill redo the test and screen shoot it. Test was performed at home for this thread. There are two Sprint 4g w/LTE towers in the process of going live in my area (Lincoln Park, MI). Till Sprint gets on the ball with better service around here, will just have to put up with things. My phone was doing going whacko w/roaming m and "preparing network" mesgs. As I typed this, got a preparing network mesg. Again, people with patience are needed while on Sprint's service..lool.
