    If you are talking about WiMax 4g through Sprint, no, they are different technology.

    If you see "4g" on the s3 that is LTE. The galaxy s3 can only get Sprint 3g or 4g LTE.

    Has anyone found a way to set up a toggle between 3g&4g connection on sprint s3? My girlfriends 2yr old evo 4g picks up 4g but my s3 has never shown the 4g indicator lit up. I know its an auto connect...but i'd like to make it manual if possible. Or at least have that option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance

    Her evo is picking up 4g Wimax standard. Your s3 can only pick up 4g LTE from Sprint. So you will be unable to get 4g until LTE comes to your area.

    There is no way to set up a toggle for 4g right now and probably never will.

    There was... But I imagine much of their work was undone by the storm.

    Lol... Sorry for being so blunt. But being that it requires a reboot with our phone, I doubt we will see a toggle. It would be kind of pointless.
