Epic fail - HTC EVO 3D

So I am on the nj side of the Hudson river. I can walk a long block and reach the water. Anyways what is a fail is I get no service but i get good 4g lol I would think both services should go hand in hand if one works.

It does seem like it should go hand and hand but you have different components in your phone. 4g radio being one of them, it has nothing to do with the actual phone service.
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! Screw Tupac. "A,O,S,P BACK!" >_<

It's different towers, your 4G is coming from a Clear WiMax tower, your Sprint Voice & 3G is coming from a Sprint Cell tower.

Hmm, that got me thinking. Is it possible to roam while still having a 4g signal?

Don't see why not. Your 4g radio is a completely seperate radio, kinda like wifi.

also wimax is a higher band, meaning it will travel further distances than your 3g, but have less building penetration.

Still sucks... I would think that sprint would have upgraded or add the 4g towers aside the service ones Idk. I just hope it gets better

Sprint is upgrading their towers to be all-in-one (they call it "Network Vision"). I work in a Sprint store here in NYC and we have a Network Vision tower on our roof right now. According to my manager, we also have an [inactive] LTE tower as well.

I thought we were getting that at the beginning of 2011. 2012 is right around the corner now and Sprint hasn't added many 4G locations at all....

I'll prove it to you. In the back we have the boxes for some of the equipment. I haven't got a shot of the 3G box, but here's a shot of the WiMax box:
