My husband is in an area where you can get 4g and just called to ask how do you turn it on?

We have the sprint samsung note 2. If we have it checked automatic shouldn't it automatically change when 4g is available?

If you've never looked at Sensorly.com, you might want to check there for some different coverage maps pulled from user generated data.

On the Note 2, pretty sure LTE is on by default.

I have mine set to automatic and my 4g radio picked up on its own. I am in Westchester County NY and I was in Peekskill today when i saw the 4G symbol. Did some speed test and got upto 24mbs with 7.5mbs down. So on auto you should still be able to get it.

I found out that he did not have his phone set to automatic and that is why it did not not come up.

Automatic will change automatically. However, it only checks for lte at intervals, not constantly

In Detroit probably never lmao.

When the Evo first came out, they claimed we would have 4g within 3 months .... years have passed since then, now they are converting to LTE and we are not even on the list for future roll out. Sucks i love sprint and there plans, but there 3G is so slow.
