LTE Rollout in your area - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Sprint can definitely work my nerves sometimes but I must say they have done a good job of rolling out LTE in my area (Raleigh Durham). I don't think there was any LTE beginning of the year but it has been popping up everywhere. I remember looking at Sensorly and thinking they just turned on a tower over here and a tower over there. They're turning them on quick now. Anybody having similar experiences?

ALL LTE discussions here, where, when, how fast!
There is a thread for this already. Just letting you know.

yeah, southern queens/nassau border has some, and northern manhatten. i guess they are expanding now. i don't know if i'm going to live long enough to see 4g in my area (north shore li), but whatever. lol.. my girlfriend lives in forrest hills, the only time i used wimax was at her place.
4g in ny has been locked twice I think
You gotta use the matter thread in the sticky event though having one just for nyc seems like a good idea to me

LTE in Grand Rapids, MI

Just wanted to let you guys know i was getting LTE on Leonard by the corner of Seward and Leonard, all the way up to Target/Khol's on Alpine! Works great indoors and out, in Grand Rapids, MI (i have also heard of people getting it in Byron Center)
And here I am, stuck in Ann Arbor. Oh well.
Nice! Still waiting for sprint to turn on lte in Winston Salem.

And it makes the unlimited data on Sprint allllll worth it =] it's amazing, i get it on my couch now! I still use Wifi for the sake of battery life and better consistency though!
Congratulations to my northern brethren. It's coming on down in Battle Creek too.

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.

Any Michiganders reporting LTE in the Kalamazoo area? I'm still on the OG Epic with Wimax, but trying to get a feel if maybe some tower work is going on over here for LTE.

I haven't even seen Winston Salem on the list of cities currently in the upgrade process but the sprint store people say it is coming in March. I don't have a lot of faith in that though.

Good news! Even though there are like three square feet on u of m's campus that aren't covered by wifi, I'm kind of depending on 4g+wifi tether to satisfy all my off campus apartment Internet needs lol. Rent around here is obscene.

Any word on midtown Detroit?
Oh man LTE in GR? Any idea if Holland is going to be coming up soon?
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

LTE makes it's way to Boston.

I started having problems with data this morning and noticed LTE 4G was popping up then dropping signal, in order to maintain coverage I had to deselect LTE in network settings but the point of the thread is to make it known that it is being implemented today for Boston.

That is also the point of this other thread. Instead of having a thread for every city, there is one to rule them all.

LTE spotted in Amherst, MA....FRICKIN' AMHERST MA!!!

So I just flashed over to Wicked v4 this morning and noticed the LTE icon. At first I thought it was just another fluke, showing LTE instead of 4G or H+. I only had 1 bar vs my normal 4 which is normal if I'm using the fast APN instead of epc in a non LTE area (none of western MA is on LTE). Yet, low and behold, when I switched my network to GSM/WCDMA only the icon changed to 4G. "What the....", I thought to myself, so I changed back to LTE and the icon reappeared. Alright then time to check status in Settings. HOLY SH#$! LTE!
THANK YOU T-MOBILE!
For reference my normal speeds were 11ish down and 2 up.
Easy there killer. I know your excited but there is an Lte thread right below yours. Calm your Tits and have a wonderful morning

If you don't care, don't comment. If no one cares the thread will die and that'll be the end of it.
My excitement is warranted and my thread is certainly as worthy as others. With Boston just getting on the official LTE track, having it in a "rural" area of mountains and tobacco fields and dairy farms kinda stands out in my opinion. And apparently the opinion of tmonews.com as well.

I would totally care but sprint doesn't seem to care about the Denver area. Theres wimax in like a 10 block radius and promises for years we'd get more.... Now they're switching to lte and more promises but for the last 3 years its always been their sucky 3g

VA area near TN, Pretty good 4g with a chance of LTE every now and again.
Hate to say it but I do miss Verizon service.

You can manually write whatever PRL you want with DFS CDMA Tool & a PC, regardless of which ROM you're on.

To be able to connect to DFS you need to have DIAG mode enabled, and its only available in Stock roms and ASOP

I was in SLC last month and had solid 4g in the neighborhood above the capitol. Didn't go too far from there so I can't speak to other areas.
I've literally traveled all over America due to being in a touring metal band, and I can honestly say that 1. Sprint's service ****ing SUCKS ****. And 2. 4G LTE is extremely spotty. Luckily at home here in Baltimore I have 4G all over, but anywhere other than the east coast, you're lucky to get LTE. I had great service when I was in Denver earlier this summer, but no 4G whatsoever if I recall correctly (And I don't, because Colorado is a... "Medical" state. )

I lol'ed at the your description of how Sprint's service sucks...especially since I generally agree. But down here in Dallas, I get pretty great LTE coverage. I think because we were one of the first markets to launch LTE. In some places in town I get 30MB+ download speed so I cant complain. But in the outskirts of town and suburbs...it isnt nearly that good but I'll still usually be able to connect to LTE.

I've got to take care of a couple things this morning, but when I'm done (probably about 2 hours) I'll post a full write-up.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed a stock rom to get the updated PRL. Looks good. What's different about it?
Also, I get pretty decent 4G coverage in Houston, Texas with Sprint, even out to the suburbs on the north side. It's not nearly as fast as the service I had with verizon, though, but it is at least consistent.
Once you get past the city limits on the east or south, though, both 3G and 4G get iffy.
I have awsome Sprint Airave coverage at home.
I hope someone makes a app like RoamControl that works with our Optimus G so my phone will work outside of my house.
