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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
