LTE in Barrie, ON! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Bell is doing testing on their LTE network. I know this because I keep seeing my phone flip back and forth between LTE and HSPA. Their coverage map shows "future," so I wonder how much longer before it goes live.
I'm looking forward to it! If I get LTE and ICS on my i717 at the same time...I will be VERY happy!

Well, more than two months later and LTE is live in Barrie as of today...still no ICS though. :-(

They've expanded LTE coverage in Calgary as well.

Honestly, using my WiFi at home seems SOOOO slow now. I think I need to dump my home internet and add more data to my phone plan.

Try living in Saskatchewan where Sasktel owns everything and they just got 4G...lol
The yukon and NWT have LTE before us. Like WTF!?!
holidays in 2 weeks to Ontario though. So, I will at least get a thrill ride of LTE.

Thanks for the tip though. At least I have 3G for the time being.

Check out the website www.s4gru.com full of hardcore engineer types talking about Sprint network updates. Really great info there. Sprint Network Vision will improve 3g speeds on existing phones as well as adding 4g lte for next-gen phones

NO. Sprint data sucked before and sucks now. I wish the hell I hadn't renewed. What good is unlimited data when it's nearly unusable because it's so dang slow.

Wow! After what seemed like two weeks of worse than dial-up speed, I just ran a test (same time in the evening as the abysmal speeds) and I am back up to pre-iphone speeds, avg around 1.2-1.6 Mbps. SE NC here.

not getting LTE, why? ROM?

I haven't seen LTE or 4G on my phone once. This is really odd because I live blocks from the KC sprint campus. I have even driven into their parking lot and sitting there got only 3G still.
I know this has to be on my end because there's no way that in their own campus in their main center they don't have a tower running it since this was the first location to receive LTE. Is this something that could be dependent on the ROM i'm using. I'm running viper 1.21 which others have said they get LTE with so I don't think it's that.
Do I need to possibly flash a new radio? Is there something else going on?
Yeah, ur not in an LTE area. Either that or Idk find someone with an EVO and see if they get LTE in the same spot.

Have you tried toggling between CDMA only and CDMA + LTE?
Have you updated your PRL+Profile?

I haven't tried toggling to CDMA and then back to LTE, I'll give that a go.
I know for sure I'm in an LTE area because KC is the first and I live directly next to their huge campus here. I have a few friends who work for them, actually everyone in this town has worked for them at one point or another, lol. And they said we do have it in this area now.

correct. I always say KC because anyone outside of this area doesn't know OP. I live a just a couple blocks from that campus. I thought this was the first area scheduled for the roll out. At least I know why I haven't seen it yet. thank you.

i gave it a go and no LTE yet, so I think erichj must be right and the rollout is not complete.
Strange that they wouldn't start with their own campus. But I guess I was just spoiled by t-mobiles insanely fast network speeds before switch to sprint. Kinda a bad decision on my part but I thought I wanted an Iphone, until I had it a couple days and took back that turd to get another android phone. By that point I was stuck in to a sprint contract with dial-up speed.
LTE is spotty even in the city

I was on the Sprint campus tonight and had to reboot my phone to get it to pick up 4g. Sometimes that's the only thing that will work . Network is only about 40% build out around the KC market right now.
Have you updated your radio and prl?

It definitely is spotty. I was able to get LTE in the legends but it would randomly switch to 3G even if I was in the same spot.

Iive up north of the river by the airport and I only saw the 4g icon once while eating a chicken fried steak at corner cafe in Riverside. I only had it long enough to download speedtest.net app and it reported 8M download and 8M upload. Pretty good but then it switched to 3g again
Hopefully it gets better soon!

I see LTE light up on certain phones but there is nothing official as far as what I can find...I heard they are testing but who knows. I sure hoope they are because verizon just dropped LTE here.

get sensorly android app from market
update: made a lil' lte loop on sensorly's att lte map, so you should see some purple in bakersfield now. i'll work on making it bigger, like i did for most the 3g map.
Getting 10Mb up and down. If you want to know what the LTE coverage is like here, go ahead and download Sensorly for coverage maps. I've already turned it on and walked around the house, it said it picked up 20 points, so that may be towers, just from my house.
note: have htc vivid w/ lte unlimited plan. the misses gets 20Mb down on hers.

WTF is up with Sprints LTE

So one week I have LTE at my house, and not at my work, then I get super strong LTE at work and it goes back to 3G at my house. Sometimes I get both, today I don't have LTE at either place. Does anyone know why Sprint can't just leave LTE on and leave the sh** alone???
Verizon is sure looking better and better when my contract is up in December.
Anyone else experiencing this off and on crap?

Best option: ditch sprint
2 months in sprint talk is 2 years in real life. Verizon has very deep pockets even if its a little more costly they're the better option

I'm not sure what area you are in, but I'm in hartland, MI. and I was in my local store today and the guy said he had one of the tower techs in there and they said they were waiting on hardware to update the the towers so they put it on hold and went back to the west side of the state until they get more. I can't complain because something is getting done and the tower in Howell was the first one in MI. to get updated, so it won't be long.

They brought their kid to work & they kept flipping the LTE switch on and off.... Relax man they are testing it.
Its still icy in the middle, let it cook.
Most of us had that happen pre rollout, now I get a constant LTE connection.
