Where is my LTE? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

In downtown Houston Texas and 3rd ward and haven't gotten a lick of LTE yet do I need to be on the updated stock Rom for it? A sprint rep told me they would push out a update to activate the LTE later..I think he didn't know what he was talking about but Idk I'm running charmeleon Rom v.5

Where did you get that PRI from? I'm on 2.45_003 which I thought it was the latest one.

I'm in the La Porte area and I have LTE..
Very fast!
Seabrook and Kemah doesn't have it yet so be patient.

The rezound has two EVDO radios like the Thunderbolt due to the LTE chip. I have not had a call while using data over 3g yet though.

Thanks for this info. This might be enough to sway me to get this instead of the Nexus.
Got mine today and can confirm it works just like my Thunderbolt. I don't understand why only HTC is smart enough to put this in their phones.

Youtube app working again.

If your having problems with the youtube app or having trouble streaming music from a 3rd party app, go to post 14 below. Motcher41 found a post that migh help.
So what does this change? From what I saw online it's to check for OTA updates?
I tried watching some youtube videos on 3G from my house and it actually played after typing it in... I'll have to see if it works in the other places where it usually chokes.

Sprint did not know why the app was not working so I called HTC. The person I talked to at HTC said to do this.

It's driving me nuts ..must be a YouTube problem bc its not a network problem for me
Talked to HTC again about youtube and flash.
Ok after a total of 9 phonecalls to HTC and Sprint trying to get a straight answer about why the youtube app and orb app stopped working, someone at HTC said that abobe has pulled support for flash lite from mobile devices. If you took the last ota update, any app that uses flash will not work now over sprints network.
Still works in the browser over sprints network but not near as good as using the app and for what ever reason, the apps work fine over wi-fi.
Question. Isn't the app still using Flash Lite even over wi-fi? Why does it work over wi-fi and not sprint?

I entered it into the dialer and this time it did not work. It did work while I was on the phone with HTC the first time I used it. I could not use youtube before I entered it and then tried youtube after I entered it and was able to use the youtube app.
I just tried the youtube app over wi-fi and it worked, turned off wi-fi got back on sprint and connection to server failed shows up in the screen when I try youtube.
Guess I should have waited to post what I thought was a fix but it did work when I first tried it so I shared it.
I'm getting a "Connection to sever lost Touch to retry" error.

Finally, after a month of this nonsense my youtube will work over 3g. What a ****ing joke that Sprint goofed this up and isnt even aware of what they've done.

Sprint to fire up more LTE cites

Well, here's the press release saying where Sprint is going with the LTE.

I really wish it would come to my area, it kinda sucks having in markets on either side of where I live, but getting left out in the cold.

I'm guessing this is a joke. Ask the folks in Beaumont, TX that have had eHRPD for several months now and their LTE build won't even start until next year. So I guess technically you are correct, LTE is coming everywhere. The question is just when..
Nope, they will only offer in that town and only to 7 of the 10 people there. Lol of course they will build it out! :banghead:

Armpit Oklahoma, well I suppose cows/farmers/and hillbillies need better coverage.... Dear sprint, even Dan Hesse said the 405 area connection and coverage was one of the worst experiences he'd encountered on sprint....please build here. Thank you.

Don't get too exited. Sprints LTE is a joke. I live in Dallas where they first rolled out LTE and I got the HTC Evo 4G LTE on day one. Ever since they turned on LTE here in June I think I've had a LTE signal for a total of 20min. I talked to a sprint rep recently and was told that Sprint won't truly be finished with the Dallas LTE until sometime in 2013. Each city they do a roll out just means they started in that city(1 LTE tower)

[Q] Can You Force Roam To Verizon?

Okay this might sound noobish, but I was wondering if you can force roam onto the Verizon towers? I am S-ON with CM10 Nightly From Jan 7th 2013 I have HBOOT 2.09.0000 and on PRL 25010. I don't care if I get my contract terminated. I would prefer it. what I wanted to know was if there is a way can you tell me please? Thanks.
-Much Love, Jeffrey
Yes, you can force roam, and yes, you will get cancelled. Idk how that works with your etf etc though.

[Q] Flashed To Cricket Very SLOW data Speeds

I just flashed my Sprint Htc Evo 3D to Cricket Wireless and now my data speeds are 15klbs downloading and 8klbs uploading.I am running OTA ICS Rooted and unlocked.I have changed my proxys under the Http settings in Epst and still no change.I have flashed over 9 phones(This being the first sprint phone)and have never had any trouble like this.If someone could help me i would so greatly appreciate it.I am on the $70 Plan and am no where near my data limit.Thanks everyone who takes the time out to try and help me i wouldnt be worried about it but i use my tethering which is the only source of internet i have for my laptop..I work from home online and im losing money on kind of this.PLEASE anyone that sees this Please if you can take the time out to help me i would be so thankful.Thank you so much.My Question is can anyone please help me figure out how to fix my data speeds?I have called Cricket and everything is good on there end so i know its this phone.Also my wife has a phone on the same line and her data speeds are perfect..
Have you tried updating the radio version or do you have poor signal? I'm on cricket and if I have a not so great signal my data basically comes to a crawl. You also could try *22804 and update the prl ota, you might have the wrong version.

How do i update the Radio???I think my radio version is 1.09.Which came with the ICS OTA update from sprint...At first when i first flashed myphone it wouldnt let me dial *228.I have tried about 9 different PRL's and now finally i can dial *228.But i live exactly 1 Block from the nearest Cricket Wireless tower.Most of the time i have Full Bars at home and its still slow..But i flashed my phone myself and i thought i did something wrong so i paid a flashing service to do it.But then after they did it and it was still slow i reflashed it again.What is your Download speeds?
Yeah thats the exact proxy i am using..What rom are you on?Because i also thought maybe if i flashed a custom rom it wouldnt cause me any more trouble.Because i really like this phone and i want to keep it but im so ready to trash it because of the Data speeds...I talk on my phone maybe 10mins out of a whole day and the rest of the time i use it for internet..

Same story, same problem. Using dirty unicorns. Very slow data speed. I had to flash an HTC one v from virgin to cricket and get great data speed. Maybe because the sprint firmware is different and routes data a different way? I am still searching.
