Any updates on this issue?
I'm an increasingly regretful pre-orderer of the EVO LTE and after about a week of great signal and blazingly beautiful speeds on WiFi, I've been reduced to reactivating my old EVO 4G. I was getting full signal ROAMING on my LTE, where in the exact same location I got 4 bars of 3G signal on my old EVO. WiFi likes to go in and out like there's a cat chewing on the cable. Awesome...
Anyway, after complaining to Sprint, going through every variation of resetting known to man, complaining even more to Sprint, complaining to HTC, trying every forum search I could think of, and then finally reactivating the trusty old EVO, Sprint finally caved and are sending me this mystical Airave thing. I'm dubious, but because I preordered, and because I was given the run around for more than a week, I'm past my 14 day return period. I'm cautiously optimistic that this Air thing will work, but again, I'm just about out of options.
Sprint also told me that they're "working on a nearby tower" and to wait a week or two for this to pass. Of course, that was probably just a ploy to get me past the 14-day return period. I'm supremely disappointed and frustrated with Sprint and, by inference, HTC. I think it's a combination of problems between the 2 companies, not just one or the other. Sprint has crap service; HTC has built a phone that doesn't work. Sure it looks pretty, but if I can't make a call, I've essentially just paid $200 and signed a 2-year contract for a tiny tablet.
Fix this, please.
Cheers,
Dan
EDIT: This is all in downtown Dallas, no less. Just praying that LTE shows up soon...
