4g LTE Connected, how do you know? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So they are turning up LTE in Houston this weekend, how do you know you are connected to LTE. Is there any other way than, Settings/Mobile Network/4g Settings. I am assuming I will see an IP address once I am connected. Are there any apps or other ways to know?

Make sure you are on that band in settings and when your connected you will have a 4g icon where the 3g one normally is

Thanks Fernando. Yep set on the LTE/CMDA band. I had heard a rumor that Sprint was sending out a text to all LTE ready customers when they turn it up which would then require you to do a update to get the signal, I saw that in print somewhere. but obviously I can't confirm that at this point.......but soon

I am in DFW and I have been getting 4G for the last 20 mins or so and I did not need any update or anything it just started connecting to 4G.. switched back and forth a few times for a few mins. It has stayed 4G now for about 10 mins.

4G in Houston is live.

Best Radio Version So Far?

Hey guys was reading in the radio thread and trying to figure out what radio is giving the best coverage and data at the moment?
Currently I am on 518 which is what the phone came with out of the box. Have seen some say that this is the better of all of them but have also seen people say to actually downgrade...
Let me know what your on and what your experiences have been.
Thanks will be given if you can help me out here!
It would depend on where you're using your phone, no?
I need something I have no reception at work or at home

that prl hack wouldn't be a good thing to use..as your data always is roaming via Verizon's towers which can get your account terminated for to much roaming, ill post a tut soon though hopefully once I get home..

You could try out each of these radios and see which one works best for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
The 518 radio works great for me.

Can't complain about those speeds while in a half basement. Luckily I have not had any problems with dropped calls or any thing either.

If I had speeds like that, I'd pee my pants!
I average 400 to 600 kbps at my home in Colorado Springs. I've tried all 3 radios and it seems they are all about the same.

We've lauded HTC and Sprint before for the way updates are handled on the EVO 3D, and it's time to do so again. There's a little update coming over the air now. One addition is a widget, the other is ... something. (Update: Ooo! New radio.) But that the EVO 3D can continue to get minor updates without causing major trouble is a pretty big deal. Nicely done.

i had to manually go under settings, system updates and tap htc software update to trigger the update.
seems to mainly just add a corp 4g widget .. and ppl claiming faster 4g speeds.
for some reason in midtown manhattan i dont get 4g signal where i'm at .. so personally haven't bene able to test.
They say it has a new radio too

by new radio, i'm assuming you're referring to the real radio.img which was in the last large OTA. i don't think this OTA has a radio.img. the downloads were very small, as shown in the screenshots above. one for roughly 1-2 MBs and one for 100-200 KBs.
a radio.img would be rough 20+MBs in size and require a reboot to recovery/bootloader for it to properly installed.
this update did not require a reboot and installed very quickly. the update will probably have only put the two downloaded files into /data/app.
Yea I was reading more about that. I didn't update anything but if there isn't s radio then I don't need it. My service sucks here, my og EVO is a lot better when it cones to that.

I get this icon at work as well. I believe it is from a network extender/repeater. We use those on our floor and I get the icon on my Blackberry as well.
The flashing house is indeed an indicator that your phone is connected to a VZW Network Extender. I have one and see it while at home.

PSA... friends don't let friends drive while looking for Sprint LTE

We're distracted enough out there on the road as it is...last thing we need are a few thousand Android geeks looking at their phones to see if they have LTE. Or worse yet, toggle settings while cruising to get that fleeting glimpse of a not-ready-for-primetime LTE signal.
Let's be careful out there ...
