What part of atlanta were you in?
More like I am an unlucky bastard. I picked up that signal about three miles from my house on a different tower. Back to 3g at home.
I am in Smyrna. I picked up the 4G signal at Griffin Middle School.

Just an update on LTE in Atlanta. I am still not getting LTE in Buckhead/Midtown area of Atlanta. I will hopefully get to check out the LTE tomorrow as I will be in the Smyrna area.
Even though there are only certain towers on right now for LTE in the Atlanta area, if many of you check your Network settings, you guys should be on CDMA-eHRPD instead of EVDOrA. I have been on it since I got the phone. Everywhere I've traveled from Duluth to Kennessaw to Snellville.

Switch your network mode to CDMA only and you'll be on EVDO Rev A.

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
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.

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.

Dude, I live in Los Angeles too. Well actually I live fairly close to Los Angeles, data is so ****ty for me. I've looked at the network and keep watching all this so called upgrades done around me but service is still horrible.
I haven't seen scores that low in a long time. What PRL are you guys using? I'm close to the LA area too. Well in OC, close to Huntington Beach if your familiar w/ that area. I usually get about 1.2 meg down...
I've done plenty of profile and prl updates. I've used prl 21079 21080 21082 and the business prl. I've even flashed a different ROM and still the same.

What this guy said. All the PRL does is tell your phone which towers to use. If anything its Sprint being Sprint.
And also you aren't being throttled.

That's everyday Sprint 3G data speeds. Get use to it.
I live in the Detroit area and I'm supposed to be in a quality coverage spot and those are the scores I get everyday. Sprint SUCKS the only reason people use sprint is price that's it.
Then I guess its sprint or this phone. You know. My sister who's got the iPhone on sprint NEVER has these issues and we live in the same area.. What gives.

Definitely feeling the drag....
I live in Atlanta and Its been having a lot of ups and downs for a while here. but now i've got the new EVO 4g LTE and I am just assuming its because the 3g is getting raped all over the place because they havent launched the LTE network and so everyone(including myself) has to use the hell out of it until they get the new network up and running. I've heard it should be "really really really really really soon." quoting the sprint rep the other day

I will get those speeds either late at night or early in the morning. Any time during the day when people are actually using data and im around 300kb. Do another test and see what you get.

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
We just had updates in central Wisconsin a month or two ago and my data went from about 200k to about 2.2Mbps overnight. My evo lte connects perfectly to the new tower hardware, but is slow (100-150) on the older towers. Oddly, we also now have wimax in the woods near the upgraded tower, but it doesn't show on sprints map.
According to the local techs I know, the hardware throughout northern Wisconsin is about 50% complete and late should be set to go in all current 3g areas of the state by December...but that implied sprint just flips the switch the moment they can.
Either way, my findings are evo with new tower, great...with old tower slightly worse than my nexus.

It might be next week. I was complaining about poorer than normal reception during peak hours to Sprint and was told they were working on the towers. The work is expected to be finished the second half of June. I'm assuming the work on the towers are related to the LTE work. I could be wrong...

I'm looking forward to it coming here to Baltimore (where I work). I'm thinking I'll be getting my LTEvo about the time that it's up (at least working to some degree). I can't wait! I get WiMax currently in my building, but it's a bit sketchy inside so I rarely use it. Hopefully LTE is much better! With WiFi at home and LTE coming to the town I work in, I think I'll do very well with Sprints network.
