Well they must be fixing it . It has been out here since yesterday afternoon..I thought it was my phone til I called Verizon today..its still out here and just wanted to let people know ..

VZW support forum updated as nationwide 4G/LTE upgrade-related issues for the outage, affecting also 3G with no ETA on restoration of services - might be complicated further in mid-Atlantic states hit by bad storms overnight causing more damages.
Showing 3G on the Eris but when the apps fetch info/updates or download, it struggled & drop to 1X - refreshing took a long, long time. Turning on wifi with one has access/coverage will bring things back to normal.
It will be fun to watch folks walking outside today staring into their phone screens wondering ....
Well, on the other hand - this is good for longer battery life in standby ? no, the device will be constantly searching for a 3G ....

Data dropping with Rezound was Droid Charge

So sick and tired of this...spent 6 months fighting with Verizon about data outages daily with the Charge, not to mention numerous replacement devices and trying every modem that came out. Now the Rezound is pulling the same crap. I've been with VZW for over ten years and get treated like an idiot not only in their stores but on the phone. No data whatsoever today and even replaced the SIM...AGAIN. What gives?!?!

A lot of people having the same problem today. Happens every few days I guess as they tweak 4g
I tried to tell people for months in the Charge forum that it was the network doing that, not the phone but NOBODY wanted to believe it.
Now, my Wife is using my old Charge and it is no better or worse than my Rezound as far as losing data periodically.

Just bought my Rezound a few hrs ago. They told me that 4g was down, and wouldn't be up fully again until around 11 or so tonight. Therefor, I also cannot activate it until then. She also tried to talk me out of buying it 3 times. What gives there?
In South Dakota.

she's clearly a typical salesperson who probably tries to push the razr because she probably gets the spiff on it (thats if its a corp store.) what was she telling you to get??
either way, mine activated fine, and it wen through, but 3g just didn't come on..i didn't know there was an outage though until another customer came in telling me it was messing up on his bionic
I didn't give her a chance to push another phone. Instead, I made her tell me why "more than half" were being returned. She stated constant reboot, bootlooping and software problems. Said something about a software update coming, but didn't know when it was supposed to come.

If you donate any amount to the site you have access to other forums that get more detailed regarding lte roll out. There are some lte sites scheduled to be completed this month. This is not part of the paid access forum http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1167-sprint-lte-june-2012-schedule-maps/
I was wondering the same thing. I travel for my job to certain parts of NJ and NYC. I did see better 3G speeds recently but then they went away. I guess they were testing but arent yet finished. Waiting for LTE is like waiting to see the water boil.

LTE near Chicago

So I was out in Hammond, IN yesterday (about 20 min outside of Chicago) celebrating the 4th with family, and noticed LTE was live in the area. I did several speedtests and was pretty pleased with the results. Averaged about 16-17Mbps and topped out at 22Mbps.
If Chicago proper can consistently hold even half those speeds, once it's live, I'll be a happy man.
These tests were done indoors too, so it seems that 1900MHz frequency does alright inside.
I'm impressed.
Sweet i'm excited road trip this weekend!!!
I thought that Chicago was going to get LTE after all of the suburbs too, so that means they must be making good headway in this area. I personally cannot wait until I can pull down 10 Mbps whenever I need...

check out s4gru.com (sprint 4g rollout updates)
the hammond area has had LTE live for a while now, the site also has updates on the rollout for the rest of the chicago market.... for me the network vision updates have been really painful, everytime I'm on the move my calls get dropped.... really frustrating.

I'm familiar with s4gru, thanks. Yes, there have been LTE sightings in Hammond for about a month now. I was surprised to be connected for 8+ hours and pulling those speeds.

That's correct. They're moving outside in. So downtown Chicago will be the last part of the the Chicago market to get LTE.

The LTE radio doesn't really drain your battery, might as well leave it on. That way you'll know when you hit LTE.

I don't think any part of the city will start seeing any LTE until sometime mid-late August. Once they hit Evanston, Skokie, Calumet City etc., I think we'll start getting reports of people jumping on within city limits. Just my prediction though.

When I leave it on, it can't maintain a 3G signal when I'm at work. I've also found no statistically significant change in data speeds by turning "LTE/CDMA" off. Battery drain wasn't my concern, but I appreciate the response.

Just got 4G!

My area just got 4G activated today, and I have to say it's quite nice 11mbps down and 7mbps up while I was driving to Starbucks this morning. :good:
congratulation!
In the future, at least pull over first before testing 4g speeds again.

Last night I got 35mbps down... With 54ms ping.
I got it back home earlier this year... Stoopit ghetto hillbilly college town I'm in now doesn't have lte. Lame. And we were supposed to have it last year... Maybe by the end of this year

sadly for me though, i only live 30 miles away from a major City (San Antonio) in Texas. i Live in Floresville or Wilson County, There is Already AT&T 4G service here, Sprint here is pretty good and we Just recently got a Verizon Wireless store here but have always had their service here since the dialup days. i have seen plenty of Verizon service Vans on my drive around town but we still have no 4G. but when im in S.A my speeds reach at Least.. well you can see in my Sig lol
and my HomeNetwork is the fastest net they have down here. at its peak it'll reach 1 megabyte/sec
OH and BTW, T-Mobile here SUUUUUX. at its peak it'll reach 0.04 Mbp's/sec.
lol Random thought here: i remember when we used to think 3G was the fastest and now With 4G LTE we're like HAAA 3G is Slowwww. but then i think the same thing is gonna happen again in the future when 5G is here lol
Don't get it at home, but I get it at college. It certainly is nice, but even at college I don't really use it because the campus is blanketed in 100mbps WiFi.

New Update and LTE

As the title reads, for those of you who are running the update that was just released, are LTE handoffs working better? Have you noticed any improvement in LTE as a result of the update?
LTE (which is only available in some parts of my city, Vallejo, CA) handoffs after the update seem to be more-or-less the same here.
Thanks for weighing in Jigsaw. I live in NYC and in my neighborhood we have LTE. Trying to see if I should do the update.
I'm in Kansas City, no change for me.
I get great 4G at work, all the time.
For about a month I had good 4G at home. But lately at home, 4G will show up for a minute or so, then go back to 3G. Never sticks anymore. Don't know what changed, but I didn't change anything on my phone and have even flashed back to stock once to see if that helped.
Did you flash the jellybean update?
I'm in Dallas, TX and it seems the radio update has done me no good. I am wondering if the tower upgrades they are doing is the problem.

Yup, new radios and ROM. No change.
Still don't understand why I had 4G at home for a month, no problems, then all of a sudden I don't.

I'm in the exact same boat. So it's not just my area that's doing this, then. I don't know what to think about that.
I was consistently pulling down 20-30Mbps and anywhere from 6-10Mbps up until about a week and a half ago. Slightly worrying.
3G speeds are fine with me, honestly. Not really any harm there as long as it's consistently available. The faster speeds were definitely appreciated, though. It'd be nice to know what's happening.
The only reason I'm checking xda is to see if these radios have fixed the lte problem. Kinda nice to see it posted right here. There was a thread the other day about cm10 fixing the eHRPD issue that was removed too. Glad I saw it when I did.

I don't think this is a Q and A topic - I think this is someone asking other people's' opinion about the update. Q and A is 1 question looking for 1 answer.... BUT this is just my OPINION

lte 3g hand off
I'm in Minnesota and have the jb update. No change for me. This sucks what's up with this phone.
Edit: tried a few different towers and it does work better. Happy. Hope this stays
Agreed. My hope was to take a poll of whether or not the update made a difference. I find that many people in this community get excited about the potential of thread closings and enjoy being combative. I'm just trying to create a central thread for people to weigh in on the LTE issue, not clutter our forum with poorly categorized threads.

After updating I immediately came up on 4g in my house where I have always had 3g, even between 2 towers less than 1 mile away so I would say a great improvement and I have connection manager disabled for reference.
