What's everyone 4G usage like? - HTC EVO 3D

Well I barely check my usage amount on the Sprint website.so I decided to take a look, and noticed I used 16gigs of 4G data!! LOL oops anyways I'm sure I'm not the worst one tho!

No, awhile ago I was up between 50-60+ gigs a month

I would never make it on AT&T lol!
And this is without tethering a laptop!
Only half-way into the billing cycle.

I've barely used it. I don't live in a 4G area so I only get to use it when I go to NY city a couple of times per month.

My 4g sucks , otherwise I would use it, I use 4-5 gb of 3g, tho how do you guys use so Much data ?

Honestly with those 4Gigs , nothing out out the ordinary. I do have a lot of cloud items & data syncing.
No torrents or hours of streaming.

Mm that's probably crazy to me cause my 4g sucks , I can't wait for LTE , I had Verizon with LTE (Thunderbolt ) And that was amazing how fast it was

Nonexistent. And it won't change, Sprint won't be putting up more WiMax towers.
Sent from my Evo3D Shooter.

Because I currently still live and work just outside of 4g coverage, my 4g usage is only about 400-500MB. My wife, on the other hand, uses over 5GB a month, since her office gets full 4g bars.

absolutely zero GB/MB/KB/B per month. We have three towers here and they haven't officially turned them on yet. If you are within a mile or two of them then you can get 4G, but with Sprint allocating zero dollars toward WIMAX then I guess that's what we have to live with until LTE comes out.......which I will believe when I see it.

Great, another "how big is your ePenis" thread.

holy facking hell! but when everyone starts jumping on LTE the speeds wont likely be like that no more. i'm quite happy with my wimax right now i get 13-17mbps
True but they'll still be faster than now. There's a tower right next to where I live so I'm always getting those speeds as well

Let the other carriers catch up... And just keep pullin more crap outa there butts to flaunt in the other carriers faces! Like they were the first to offer 4g a year ahead of everyone else..

Actually better signal would = better battery life on cdma networks.
Yea I can guarantee that the speeds will be much lower with more than a few people connected to the network. I'm just impressed that Sprint is capable of this is all.

Check out the company called light squared and search it with sprint in the same search. Sprint is paying out the ass to make it work. I'm a recruiter and I work with the company they have recently had some break through and even some test. If it works out. Sprint will be able to use the tech to transfer their LTE anywhere you can receive a GPS signal.

Post your usage statistics, with screen shots!

I thought it would be fun to post our usage stats from either the sprint website or from an app that tracks your usage.
As you can see we are on SERO and i have used 0 of my 500 anytime minutes.. The 3000 text messages is pretty impressive though I think, mainly with my girlfriend.
Mydatamanager has me at 2.7 gigs of data where sprint has me at over 3 hugs.

And I waited until 5 days out to post the screen shots so it's close to my monthly usage.

Why get sprint lte

Why should we get a sprint lte phone (next cycle) , when they are two years out from being turned on. Yes I know they are testing in some town with 10 residents (which none of them are probably sprint customers). I'm still waiting for 4G.

Lol I may end up getting it when I am outta contract. Kinda wanna see what people think of it.. I don't care for the LTE or 4G just the specs are pretty nice no 3D which makes me happy just want my 8MP back so I can play with CM and other sense less builds.
The only reason I will eventually move to LTE (I'm already currently in a WiMAX area) is for the improved speeds and the lower frequencies. Lower frequency radio waves will better penetrate thick walls (like concrete) and will reduce how much battery it uses. Therefore, LTE is overall more stable than WiMAX technology.

Nobody is forcing you to stay with Sprint. If you want 4g LTE now, switch to Verizon.

The big issue I see is a big price jump once lte is turned on. There is some serious traffic control that lte has that wimax doesn't. When they can truly see what being used and the rate of consumption, bye bye unlimited.

though I do think there will be a day when unlimited will be no more, i don't think it will be anytime soon, for 2 reason, 1 the premium data fee ($10) we all pay according to dan hasse is the reason we don't have tier data plans already, so if they switched they can't charge that anymore and 2 sprint uses it too much to advertise with, and is a reason so many of the customers are staying... if they lose that they will lose A LOT of customers...
i never use 4g and i can get it almost all most all the time.. i use 3g cause its fast enough for me.. when i have used 4g in the past it just drains my battery to quick.. its crazy cause some people would love to get 4g and i have it and could care less.. lol i wish i could give it away!!!! to someone that would use it.. u kno..

I only get to use it if I go to Atlanta or I go up north to Michigan
I am in no hurry to upgrade. I live in a small city about an hour north of Atlanta. My little city of 30k has WiMax and is set to get LTE the first round, but I get 4G inside my apartment and downtown. While I don't get LTE speeds, I do get around 7-8mb. And I'm okay with that till the next round of LTE phones come out. WiMax isn't going anywhere anytime soon for those of us that have it.

I'm sorry that's the case. As a frequent traveler I am in almost always in Wimax coverage and have been very satisfied for the most part. However, thinking I'm hot s*?t pulling down 10mgbs on my couch always gets me into trouble as my buddy ( who is smartphone illiterate) pulls down 30 on his razr max. Yea at those speeds its basically just a pi$$ingcontest, but with almost 24 months on the competition you have to feel dissapointed in the way Wimax was.handled.

T-Mo's 2G may be meh, but it's still better than AT&T's 2G network, or at least that's how it seemed when I had them.
Only smartphone I know handles tmo 3G well and doesn't seem slow on it is BlackBerry's.
T mobile reps are saying we will have 4g here by 2013. If not, in may when contract is up probably jump to the dreaded Verizon. They have 4G here.

If you do this, are the ESNs on the phones marked as bad? I'm guessing they are... but curious. Sprint is giving me the biggest run around ever with constant poor service, dropped calls, slow data, etc... I'm in a metro area as well, it's ridiculous.

Guys are so thirsty for high speed data, but once they it get, they're realize the only true benefits are HD video streaming I'm glad with Sprints 3g in the North of Boston market I could pretty much do what I want to do with my phone besides streaming videos. And with Verizon's cap you're pretty much only guaranteed 3 movies per cap. No thanks I'm all set.

Not looking for High speed data as much as I'm looking for data that doesn't drop to 1x constantly and can play my Google Music with out stopping every 20 seconds when I'm on the road.. Not looking to stream HD movies but I would like to actually watch a YouTube clip from time to time when I'm not on Wifi and not see "buffering".... But it's all pointless anyways because I'm going to see what the Hell Sprint is going to do. I've delt with them this long. I'll give em till June.
