Is there a 4G icon on the status bar when connected?

Just wondering if there is a 4G icon that shows up in the top status bar when you're connected to 4G, or do you need to do a speedtest to verify?

I have the Verizon version and it does have a 4G icon, I'm guessing they all would

Yes. The 3G icon become 4G.
4G was just turned on in a town north of Baltimore. I saw the 4G icon last night.

BTW: Speed test was 10MB download, 5 MB upload.

Yeah, I heard B-more was getting turned on. I don't think it's hit Philly yet. Considering they did Atlanta first, and then Baltimore, seems like Sprint is going in alphabetical order. Haha. You'd figure they would hit NY, LA, SF, first, with Phila, DC, Seattle, next. But, no. Also, anyone know if Sprint is pushing out Jellybean? I know it's a diff forum thread, but if someone can answer it here, that would rule. Thanks in advance!!

eventually Sprint will ota push Jellybean. While there has been no official timeframe, the rumors are anything from late August-September.

What's the ping time in it? I keep hearing "our 4g is faster" because download test say so. But the latency (ping time) is real high. I would rather a 10mg with a low ping then a 20mb with a high ping.

You really don't know what he means?

how exactly does the 4g work? Is it like the evo or s2 where you had to switch it on or off? Or is it automatic?

You set your settings to cdma/LTE and the phone automatically connects to 3g or 4g LTE. You can force 3g cdma by going into the settings but can't toggle it on and off.
