Since the GS3 is a LTE phone....

Can I get 4G also or ONLY LTE?? I live in NY and travel to NYC on occasion and I know there is 4G there but no 4G LTE yet... would my phone pick up the 4G signal or no? Thanks.

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.

Is there any LTE service in NYC right now???

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.
