Sprint LTE

**hopefulfarm** · 11-02-2012, 09:12 PM

Where can I find more info on the LTE rollout? Now that I have this awesome phone, I'm wondering how long I will have to wait.

We got some coverage with wimax, but they stopped, it's spotty. So I'm wondering if that puts us to the bottom of the LTE list.

Interesting. If that's all they expect to cover by the end of 2013, thats pretty sad.

WTF happened to Orlando?

- Using this link, I no longer see Orlando on the list. Originally it was supposed to be available November/December.

Do you have your phone set to LTE/CDMA so that it will pick up 4G if you are in an area that has it? When I first got my S3 back in July I turned it off because I knew that Sprint hadn't set up LTE here yet. Last weekend I was out of town so I turned it on, and when I got back to Austin I noticed that in certain parts of town my 4G indicator was lighting up. So even though Sprint hasn't announced LTE coverage for Austin, I'm still getting some so I know they're working on it. I would suggest others to turn theirs on also and see if they find any coverage

Sprint Announced Austin back in September. and too see coverage you can download the sensorly app for android onto your phone and you can go to the website at sensorly.com and select Sprint 4G in the pulldown menu.

I do have my phone set to pick up LTE. I double checked. Was soo hoping to see some LTE love last weekend. Nothing.

Soooooo, does Sprint currently offer 4G data speed for San Francisco, California? I could not tell exactly from one of the links I read. Thanks! Casey

**kg4icg** · 11-18-2012, 11:23 AM

yes they do. select sprints 4g from the pull down and scroll to the San Francisco area to see current coverage.

Thanks for your reply. If I'm reading the Sprint coverage map correctly, it appears that only small portions of San Francisco are 4G speed, and the rest is WiMax? What is WiMax? Is that 3G speed?

**kg4icg** · 11-18-2012, 11:41 AM

It is the 4G before LTE.

**lingo622** · 11-18-2012, 03:05 PM

Had anyone noticed poor LTE reception after the update? I used to get it at my house no problem and now it isn't working. The coverage map says my house should be getting LTE coverage. I've toed updating the PRL and Profile and nothing seems to help it.

I'm not seeing this issue. Is it possible there's a problem with the tower near your house? My reception is just as good after the update as it was before. I don't believe the update did anything with the radios.

**lingo622** · 11-19-2012, 04:20 PM

Not sure. Might have to call and find out. But they always tell me there's a tower outage... And I didn't think it did anything to the radio but I just wanted to check.

Enjoying some LTE in Alexandra, VA. Sprint hit the switch last week in this area.

I spent a few days in SF last week, and 4G was patchy at best. Most of the time I was showing 3G speeds.

**coastietech** · 12-05-2012, 10:12 AM

Just got my GN2 a day ago and been noticing I'm on 4G quite a bit here in the Hollywood/Cooper City/Davie area... Download speeds are around 4.3Mb's and upload is around 225Kb. Not great, but much better than the 3G speeds around here.

**slik6996** · 12-06-2012, 06:02 PM

does anybody know when we will get LTE in Phoenix or Las Vegas?

That's awesome, plus sprint said they are not letting lte running at full speed yet so it's probably going to get faster. Probably like 8-10 mbps on good days.

My close friend is a Sprint tech and he said it's looking like maybe early 2014. Don't even think about 2013. He also says that they are most likely to do away with unlimited data as well because since the network will be better that they'll be looking to capitalize off of it quickly. So if u suffer through the horrible service now is the only way you'll be able to keep unlimited data. this is only what he thinks though but the part about 2014 is credible info
