Hey Everyone,
I woke up this morning and had no 4G LTE connection, I tried battery pull, sim pull, waiting 15 minutes and then putting it all back. It would connect to 4g for about 20 seconds before jumping back to 3g. Being that I paid 300 bucks for this phone and it worked great since I got it, I called VZW. The rep I got confirmed that the 4G LTE network is having some outages but they know about it and are working quickly to restore service.
Looking thru some other forums, it seems to be an East Coast thing, I would like to know if any of you are having this problem as well, and if so where are you located. Please respond with your general location (or specific city if you want) and what networks are down for you. Ill start
Central Massachusetts has no 4G LTE currently. 3g an 1x are unaffected.
Albany NY area
Spotty 4g for the last few days and they told me the same thing. Seems OK today so far.
No problems here, 4G strong as ever.
Rochester NY, same problem.

I'm in Erie, PA and I can only connect to 4G for like a minute before it switches to 3G . I hope they fix it soon, I'm going through withdrawal! I NEED MY EXTRA G!

I've got the 4G's here in Michigan
Fine here in California although I'm far away and probably irrelevant.
Looks like I'm even having 3g problems now.
I listen to iheart streaming radio all morning at work & it may buffer occasionally but in general it works perfectly. A minute ago it cut out for about the 4th time this morning & now it's refusing to connect at all.

Philadelphia. No problems.

Interesting, I too am in Rochester and I have connection. Just ran a speed test of 10/6 to make sure. I'm downtown at work right now.
I have had no issues with 4G here in MN just outside the twin cities.

I actually live in Penfield & work in Victor.
I always have rock solid 4g at my house and usually 4g works in Victor.
This morning, my phone was in 3g coming off the charger which was odd. I put it in airplane mode & back & 4g started working.
It skipped back & forth between 4g & 3g all morning however. Now, it seems to be working again (it is in 4g now) but we'll see what happens the rest of the day.......

I have the proper number of G's in Milwaukee (four of them!) but I leave my phone on WiFi most of the time to save battery.
Baltimore area here. Haven't had 4G since last night. Rebooted my phone a few times. It would attach for a minute or two then drop right back to 3G.
Was still on 3G before I came into work a little bit ago.
4G is working fine in A2
Yea, the rep was telling me its only really affecting the East Coast and from what I see he it seems pretty accurate.
Does it really bug anyone else that VZW does not have a website with outages listed, like google does with the AppStatus Dashboard. It would probably save their reps a ton of phone time.
No 4G issues in Phoenix

In california on business, 4g has been completely awful. I can do the same; connect for a minute or so then it drops to nothing.
anyone know of? 9:16am in central nj, i don't have 4G here but my 3g won't turn on. It's only 1x if anything shows up.

I had 1x instead of 3g this morning to swithed to 4g and everything is fine
Looks like 4G is out here in Los Angeles.
This is getting pretty ridiculous...4th outage in a month?
No issue in SD. 4g working fine as of now.
4G working fine in the Seattle/Tacoma area...
4g is out in Los Angeles...
Confirmed with girlfriend and coworkers on 4G LTE devices...only 3G available. I called Verizon and they said they have no reported outages.

4g is fine in Chicago, although there may have been some issues overnight as my phone rebooted several times last night.
I had an issue where I should have had either 4g or 3g, but only showed 1x. After a bunch of rebooting and switching on/off airplane mode and various radios, I had to do a battery pull which fixed it. Try that maybe
edit: I'm in Atlanta and 4G working is fine
yeah, in my area, we don't have 4g at all. this morning,w hen i tried to send a pic, 3g just wouldn't turn on. after a minute, 1x turned on and it sent over that...then i was like, hmm, what happens if i turn wifi off..so i did, and mobile network was on, but nothing was coming up..1x would randomly turn on and off, but no 3g.

4G service had gotten worse & worse to the point where I don't even expect it to work right anymore, & when it does I just look at it as kind of a bonus.....
~John
we're gonna need a 4g outage specific forum, or map app where people report it and it shows up on a real-time map...
Up and running again...roughly a 5 hour outage for me.
4g back up in Los Angeles after an all night outage.
Is anyone in the cities/communities that LTE went live in, connecting to the network and maintaining the connection? I am in San Antonio, and have only had LTE connect once and that was before the network went live. I checked the coverage map and it says it should connect but I am having no luck. I have read in other threads that people connect for a few seconds then go back to 3G service. I just wanted to see what everone else's mileage is. Thanks
I'm in san Antonio as well. I barely got any lte since launch. And I'm right by a tower.

the sprint maps arent accurate as of right now. the towers havent all been upgraded. that map is more a representation of coverage once there done. i was holding a stable 4g connection down in the quarry saturday afternoon.
I saw the 4g icon once about a month ago. And it was so sporadic I couldn't do anything with it.
Now that it's officially live in KC. Still haven't seen anything. Stuck on 3g and I'm about a mile and a half from the Sprint campus.
I was out of town last week and was hoping to come back to LTE. Sprint said the 15th, so I guess shouldn't expect much until the end of the month.
I am in DFW and where I live I get nothing.. not even a blip of 4G turning on. Where I work it turns on but it usually flips right back to 3G. I was able to hold it for about 15 mins at one point this morning but thats been it.
Unfortunately for me 3G coverage on my towers is god awful to the point im tempted to activate my OGEvo and use wimax till this is sorted.
I live 3 blocks from the sprint compound in KC and haven't seen a hair of LTE. Odd.
San Antonio, no service yet. Coverage map might be a prediction of complete service and not an actual "current service“ map

Went outside during lunch and did pick up 4g.
Ran a speedtest, 1.5 down, about the same up. Not real impressive. Although still better then the non-existent 3g as of late.
As soon as I walk back in the building it goes back to 3g.
I am in San Antonio as well, and no, it goes crazy 4G-3G-4G-3G etc etc but it does not maintain 4G... it switches back to 3G and stays there... if I force it to stay on 4G (##DATA#) it get good solid 4G speeds at one point 10down 8up... but it wont make or receive phone calls, if I reboot I get a "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
I seriously hope things improve in terms of the network. It would be a shame if all this NV stuff Sprint talked about was just hype.... I know LTE just went live but it should atleast be able to grab a decent connection. Let's just hope it can penetrate better and be more reliable than WiMAX....

I was able to get LTE in the 1604/I10 area Friday night but now its nowhere to be found. I spoke with a customer rep and they did say that it will be a work in progress as they are making some sort of adjustments to the towers and that when that happens they may be taken down to make the switch and the overload of traffic on other towers is causing it to not connect properly to the LTE servers. I would have thought that this transition would have been made before going live but apparently not. Hopefully over the next few days the network gain strength.
Odessa texas here, Nothin man, nada. What pisses me off is that we're paying for 4g service and we cannt even get it. like paying for a meal you cant eat, a car you cant drive, a hooker you cant,,,,ok thats too much, Anyways you know what im saying ,,,right?
Another person in SA with no 4G here. I carpooled this morning and saw nothing the whole way to work. (Bandera & 1604 across 151 and then to Culebra & 410 if we're mapping this). Went out for lunch and didn't get any signal either. Oh well, I guess we'll see how things look in a week or so.
I talked to a Sprint rep and they said they are still working to get the coverage shown on the map for LTE. I gave them a couple zip codes and they came back and said they should go live soon
Try getting a hold of a Sprint rep on chat/phone and give them your zip if you are supposed to be getting LTE according to the map.
Personally I am getting blazing speeds in the south but 0 LTE in the north. I am being patient :angel:
I'm not in San Antonio at the moment. Live in Los Angeles and well...I'll let my screenshot speak for it's self.

The 10$ is for any smartphone regardless of 4g or not. They changed that charge a long time ago. Its premium data now. Every company does this..no big deal.

Originally it was a WiMAX charge but then they figured out that they couldn't legally charge for their WiMAX unless it was actually up and running in their entire proposed network. They then said it was for all smartphones to get around it. Yes its not a big deal because sprint is still cheaper than the other carriers but they still don't have a completely functioning WiMAX/lte network. We all know its a 4g charge no matter what they call it

Dacula, GA here. Got a 4g signal about a month ago, but only for a short while. Now the coverage map says that I am covered, but I haven't gotten any signal. So like everyone is saying, the map is pretty inaccurate right now. Hopefully i'll get some connection by the end of this month.
This is the best I could do today in the Vinings GA (burbs of of ATL) area. 4G has been flashing since Mon for me. It lasts for less than 5 mins, but long enough for me to do a few speed tests. 4G also flashes at my home, but its very brief. What's crazy is today I was told about the Open Signal app, so I downloaded it. It's really helpful... What I didn't know was the tower I see near my job is a Sprint Tower. I also have another tower about a mile away. I saw today I caught 4G from both. Makes me wonder what's really up? The tower is right outside my office, so is the LTE signal that weak, or are there some kind of signal/antenna issues? Oh by the way, the Sprint Tower is also really close to where I live. It's about 0.2-0.3 miles away...

Am I the only one who has noticed poor 3G on this phone? Even poor for sprint standards. Especially at places where I normally get my best data I'm getting piss poor and even going into roaming. My desk at work is usually where I get my best speeds and now I can barely send a text message. I've only had the phone for a week but since I've got it 3G has been awful and even WiFi hasn't been spot on... I fails a lot dropping signal if my screen turns off for to long which sucks when I'm downloading a Rom or something of the sort, and before you ask I do have it set to keep WiFi on while the screen is off. I love the phone and would hate to get rid of it because I can't use it. So hopefully its not just me maybe sprint has something going in my area that started the moment I got my phone... I'm in Orlando, FL and I'm running stock with root

Call sprint, check for tower upgrades in your area.
Make sure your updating your prl and profile too

Naw ur not the only one....with all the upgrades to both the 3g and 4g LTE my 3g has been hit and miss.....good some days and bad others....hopefully it'll all get corrected real some only saving grace for me right now is wi-fi
Underlying idea is, its not the phone... its the network.
Past experience doesn't guarantee present performance
MIne is working well.
Wifi is performing very good for me, and the other day at my apt around 6pm i got 1.9megs down.. 3G..
Its a tower that has been upgraded but still have yet to stay connected to 4G longer then a minute..
No there is an issue...I had a moto photon that was very fast on 3g.....when i switched to the evo lte...i noted it seem to be a lot slower...figure it was the network
Well i went back on my photon while i unlock the evo....and again the photon just flys compared to the evo....there is an issue..a big one

So's I just got off the phone w/sprint tech support and they confirmed that the 4g towers in LA are up and running. I have yet to see my 4g symbol light up. Is anyone else in my parts (downtown LA) getting a 4g signal? I could be wrong but I thought this wasn't supposed to happen till the end of september.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
By on they just mean they aren't blocking your access to them.. You probably still have to go on a hunt to find it though. It will be very spotty.
Thats how it was in KC at least. I've got it at my house, and its at my parents house now. But a mile from Sprint headquarters, nothing, and the worst 3g imaginable. It's astonishing.
I had 4g on the OG EVO, but 4g LTE not up yet, I work in Downtown LA so no LTE yet.

Thanks for the intel tall. I called sprint due to my lousy signal I have while around the armpit of dwntwn LA. Tech informed me that there's a couple of tickets open on two towers that apparently my phone uses. Since their is work being done on em she wasn't able to give me the green light on a signal booster. She did however inform me that said tickets should be closed by tomorrow and will call me wednesday morning to see if signal has improved. Not sure if this post interests anyone else but I will be more than happy to keep inquiring minds informed of any updates.
The U.S government wouldn't lie to us...would they?
I'm out in the SGV and 3G over the weekend just became really fast. Haven't noticed the LTE signal yet. I did notice my phone disconnects from the network when screen is off sometimes. Maybe it's something to do with the LTE testing

I'm in Northridge (sfv) and haven't noticed any 3g increase or 4g at all. Hoping soon tho!
i live in los angeles county, San Pedro, and i do not receive 4g at all. With my old HTC EVO (og) i use to get 4g while at work in Long Beach but now i dont even get that with the evo 4g lte. I called sprint about a week ago because at my home i noticed my service dropped tremendously from 4 bars to 0-1 bar and they sent me a signal booster for my house, but this is a ****ty fix they have. It only boost signal at home not the rest of town where i seem to have no service! I hate paying the extra 10$ a month for a service the dont even provide yet.

Well you have to understand two things.....
1) Your old evo was using the 4g wimax technology. This new one is using the 4g lte technology which hasnt rolled out to LA yet. Hence why you don't have "4g" on the new phone.
2) The signal booster you got was a Airave mini cell tower. That will only boost your cell coverage in your home, but not anywhere else. The no service....is that no 4g service or no cell service. If its no cell then call sprint, because that shouldn't be happening
yeah i know about the airwave only doing service at the house. But i hate that this is their fix for this.
I'm near West Hollywood. I noticed a huge decrease in signal quality over my EVO og when I got this phone. Dropped calls too. It's reminding me of when I used to be with AT& T.
I travel to Glendale a lot. I'm rooted and running the original Rom.
Supposedly Sprint said September for L.A. while I don't really expect it, if they don't have it going by the beginning of November, I'm going to be starting to calculate the feasibility of moving to Verizon.
I know it will be more expensive, and seemingly not as good a deal, but right now Sprint is selling promises. I can't check traffic on promises.
Soon 2 gigs a month will look much better than 400 megs of unlimited. It will be a decision between unlimited drops vs. Limited buckets.
A big part of the reason I'm beginning to loose patience is their decision to start LTE in places like dumb bucket Tennessee, over L.A., San Francisco, etc.

I'm sure they meant 4g wimax. Some Sprint csr or even tech support for the other know what lte is or they will tell you have 4g but they don't tell you it's wimax.
When I bought my SGS3 I was told that I had 4g in my area and that I could use it with the sgs3....But I only have wimax in my area....
