does any one know when LTE in PALATINE will come live?
Largely depends on whether you're considered part of the "chicago" market which is supposed to be around september.
If you aren't part of that rollout.....Not anytime soon.
damn u have to be kidding me!! well i live like 20 mins from chicago. hope that the tower signal travel will travel far enought.
Well right now lte is about 10 miles or so west of palatine so it's just a matter of time. Now as far as Chicago getting lte I hate to say it but I don't think we might have lte this year . My office where I work has a sprint tower on it and a tech was out working on it and he was saying lte for Chicago might not happen this year with all the work they still have to do to the towers. I was also that Illinois already has 40% lte coverage so that's kind of good but could always be better
OP u say your from palatine well I am to so if u want to talk for some reason pm maybe we can get together sometime

Who did you hear that from? Sprint reps will tell you anything to leave happy.
Given that they haven't even officially announced there will be LTE for chicago, its probably not gonna be a few days from now
i cant wait till next year for LTE. darn sprint 3G Sucks! ive been waiting for this to long. those tower better go live this year. or else ill have to beat someone up hahah
If they're 40% done with Illinois, they could easily go live this month. Many of the first round LTE markets went live with much less than 40 percent complete. They won't be DONE with Chicago this year, but I'm sure they'll go live this year.

Damn, I'm next door in AH and your thread title lead me to believe lte was active.
All of Palitine's sprint towers have been upgraded to network vision for 3g. I understand they are waiting for the back haul to be installed. It shouldn't be much longer.

OKay last week i was on ROUTE 3 close to Secaucus/North Begen area and check my phone i had LTE under 4g logo and i was very excited and started using speediest.net app and i was get about 12-17mbps. Maybe i was getting LTE from NY coz i was very close to Manhattan. i work at cedar knolls NJ and been getting better HSPA+ speed lately about 6mbps which i used to get 3mbps before. so i can't wait for them to get LTE in Morris county.
I get LTE in Newark and some surrounding towns. I'm guessing it comes from nyc

I'm in Morris county no lte here but it says it is on the coverage map so not sure what's up. The map just started showing it this past week or so, I check all the time so I'm hoping that it just hasn't been turned on yet but will be shortly. Only 10 miles or so down rt 24 it's all over the place.
I also live in Essex county!!!! Small world. Idk what service you guys are on but Verizon and most others like sprint have their major towers in seacaus(idk if I spelled it right). Its the spot designated for radio broadcasting and its reaches most metropolitan areas NYC, jersey city, union city, hoboken, etc. Our stations like my 9 and others are broadcasted from there. If you ever take rt 46 east and go by meadowlands stadium you can see the red lights from over 20 tall tower. The meadowlands is all barren flat land.

We can't even root our phones let alone unlock the bootloader. I'm just worried about Sprint's data speeds. All the tech sites trash it. Thanks.
Depends where you live. Were I live Sprint is the fastest of the big carrier's. I average 2.2mbps. Att here is just awful with limited signal.
Also isn't ny on the first round of updates so that would mean they should have good speends by the end of the year.

It's been a while since I've lived in upstate new york. Why not go to one of the sprint stores or best buys and ask to run speedtest on their phones.
I could see them using airaves in the stores. I have no idea if they do or not but i wouldn't be surprised.

This! They do! Sprint is slow, very very slow. Here in Colorado it is abysmal.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Pretty hit or miss, it can be pretty decent or downright horrible. At work I get around 1.3mbps or near 2, but at home and a lot of other places it's painfully slow. I just ran the speedtest app and I averaged ~120kbps down, 200kbps up and 250 ping...
I think it's safe to say that you will get MUCH worse data speeds than what you're currently getting. Your signal strength should be on par though, and you won't have as many drop calls.
Besides what the fanboys here tell you, it's pretty generally accepted that sprint's data speeds are absolutely horrendous. I've never been to NY so I can't say this with 100% accuracy but it is a pretty darn safe assumption.
I'm in Houston which is one of sprints biggest markets and even here just about everywhere I go the speeds are terrible. Not as bad as some people who get like .1kbs and .2 but they are still waaay below 1mps.
There have been small pockets where I get 1-2mbps but those are soo inconsistent that it's not even practical

Where do you live, Rochester? Speeds in Buffalo vary, that's the best I can tell you. My EVO 3D got significantly better speeds than my EVO LTE does. I'm just hoping that will change after an update or two. Rochester and Syracuse got WiMax pretty quickly though so I would imagine LTE isn't too far away.
Here's a link to a post I made a couple weeks ago

No, he's not included. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and NYC are the major markets in NY.

I actually have an airave, and it works great. The problem is when I am in any building such as BestBuy or Wal-mart, and want to price match something. Or I am in a shoe store and want to find out if Amazon has it for cheaper. Just yesterday I was at Kohl's, and they told me that they had a coupon online. I of course could not get data on mine or my wife's phone, so I could not pull up the coupon. I cannot even begin to tell you how badly I want LTE. I just hope the indoor signal is better.

Sometimes companies tell you what you want to hear to silence you. Are they working on towers? Yes. Will it roll out in October for NYC? Probably not.

With the launch of LTE, DFW was on the list of having LTE. Phone never connected to LTE. After serveral phone calls, I was told the same thing, that the networks where being upgraded and scheduled to be completed in December. I see LTE every now and then now, but not long enough to get any use out of it. Speed Test showed it to be slower than 3G when I was able to connect. I got credit for 4 months (AUG -NOV) until LTE is fully up and running.

how do you know that it will be live in 2 weeks?
If Sprint gave you an exact date, and especially from a representative over the phone, they're definitely lying to you.
While I seriously doubt that's the date, I sure hope it is. I am sick of slower than dialup speeds on 3G and constant weak signal.
NYC and several other major cities have been announced to go live within the next several months, which means NYC can get it earlier than scheduled.....Finally able to use phone to the fullest
Has anyone in the NYC area gotten LTE signals yet? Wonder if they will test it before going live.

I just wanted to share some good news with the Sprint users here. Sprint recently launched LTE in the Chicago area and for a while I haven't seen any major improvements near me (south of Chi-town). For those in this area, I did a speed test in Lockport earlier tonight and pulled down 2-3Mbps. Normally, I might get 100-200 Kbps. I know many people have been suffering with far less than that, but wanted to let people know it's getting better!

No doubt Sprint is concentrating on the population centers that they think will bring in the most revenue, just like my next upgrade will depend on which carrier can supply competitive 4G coverage in my area.

No our phones use 802.11e instead of the LTE protocols while some say a update could allow us to use it no one has really backed it up.
While 802.11e was the first revision of wimax and the next would have been better than LTE but to many others adopted LTE. YOu will need your upgrade to get a LTE device.
My upgrade is on the first of jan so I will be getting a nexus LTE device but won't see LTE here for a few years.
Seriously. Why would I use any newer phone if I have to drop back to 3G? I've been lucky and had unlimited WiMax since original EVO. Getting my girl a used Sensation off Craigslist and going to hook her up with Straight Talk. If the speeds are good maybe I'll go that route for a while. GSM Nexus off contract is probably the way I'll go next time.

no complaining Ram when you are blanketed by a nice 4G WIMAX coverage. I had better 4G on my trip to Maui then I do in my home area in Orange County CA where we have 1 street with WIMAX and that drops as soon as you walk into a building!

You're right, but what happens when it's time to upgrade? Guess I'll be keeping my 3D for a while but I'd planned to do that anyway.

I was in Chicago (Niles area) couple of weekends ago and there was 4G wimax available and I was getting 8mb/2mb speeds consistently. Too bad I live in Indianapolis where there is zero 4G.

I live in NYC and I still have shi**y reception. I think about switching carriers every time I drop a call or receive a text hours late. The unlimited data is the only thing keeping me from switching.

That sucks. Never happens to me at all.
Man I didn't realize how good I have it here in Minneapolis. I hold a 4-8Mbps 4G even inside buildings and almost out to the suburbs.

Wish i had 4g in my area. 3g here is usually 100-150kbps :/ but i hope network vision helps out with this soon. If not I will change for sure
No 4g for phoenix yet. Hopefully LTE eventually gets deployed here

In Los Angeles I get awesome coverage. I'm hardly on 3G. 10mbps - 12mbps
