LTE makes it's way to Boston. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

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.

+1 I'm in the Taunton area, just south of Boston and I've had LTE coming in and out for a few days now actually.
On a side note (and not at all to go off topic, but it must be said)

Latest update, prl, and profile update? This is probably dumb question though. I can actually see the tower I'm connecting to. Last I heard, San Antonio is only about 25% complete.
Edit: I also disabled automatic connections under mobile networks. Not sure that has anything to do with it though.

Have you applied the latest OTA update (v L710VPLG8) to your phone? This update contains an important fix to optimize LTE connectivity.
I'm over by Alamo Heights with spotty connection and get randomly throughout town

Not in San Antonio but in KC last night ran a speed test using the hotspot and my laptop got 23+ Mbps down just over 1 Mbps up heck roadrunner can only do 5Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, not sure how loaded network is here.

I'm at San Pedro and 410, but the phone automatically connects to my home Wifi. I drive around town all day long and so far, compared to the Evo 3d I used to have, the speeds are ****ing great.

Your LTE experience may well improve after applying the LG8 update. It includes an important fix to the logic governing when the handset will connect and/or disconnect from an LTE tower. You and all the others trying to test LTE service in the newly "launched" LTE markets need to understand this. In several scattered but related threads in this forum, it is apparent that the commenters reporting their LTE experience are mostly ignorant.
Users in places such as San Antonio, Houston, DFW, Atlanta, etc. who are trying LTE with this phone have faced two problems:
The markets were officially "launched" July 15 with only a small fraction of their towers ready for LTE, although work continues on the build-out.
The new LTE handsets, including the GS3, needed OTA fixes to change the signal-strength threshold governing LTE connections. Without the fix, phones can only get or hold an LTE connection that is quite strong.
The second factor just multiplies the damage caused by the first.
I have tested my GS3 in a city that has its LTE network substantially built-out (Waco). Before applying the LG8 update, even where the LTE signal was very strong, the phone did not connect. After the update, I found LTE service all over town.
p.s. If you really want to understand and track the LTE rollout, go to S4GRU.com, which focuses on this matter exclusively and knowledgeably.

Signs of 4g lte???

I'm hoping that sprint is actually adding 4g lte in my area. My phone has had 1x for 12 hours now but with decent data speeds? Anyone else go through this before you received lte

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.

If that is CM I see it might just be a bug where it isn't displaying 1X/3G properly.....

sprint ditching 4g and reverting back to evdo ?

Since I first turned on my LGOG in my neighborhood in Miami, I've been on the eHRPD network. This week, however, eHRPD is gone from my whole zip code and evdo_a is back.
While eHRPD gave me crappy signal and horrible data throughput, evdo_a at least gives me 1Mbps. But does that mean sprint is abandoning 4g LTE for my zip code?
maybe working on it or upgrading? doubt theyd go backwards lol

Maybe a dumb question but is your mobile network mode set to lte/cdma?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
This doesn't even make any sense...
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
^ What he said
Wonder if the OP knows that eHRPD and EVDO-A are broadcast from the same tower on the same channel using the same technology and the same backhaul. It is one signal, not two different signals.
I'm seeing this in my area too. Looks like ehrpd was stopped from broadcasting, logcat shows its not even trying to authenticate or connect to ehrpd. but lte is still broadcast. Time to check s4gru.

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.
