A friend I work with just got the EVO 4G LTE and he is coming from the OG EVO 4G. He got 4G on his old phone where we are at but he can not get 4G on the new EVO 4G LTE. Is it because the old EVO did wimax and the new one doesnt have a wimax chip in it, only LTE and they have not upgraded to LTE in our area yet? And he has LTE/CDMA selected under mobile network settings.
you are right this phone has no wimax only 3g that's why people who got wimax capable phones still using then cause sprint 3g is a joke they should be ashamed at calling this 3g. I just came to sprint three weeks ago from TMobile. TMobile edge/2g Network blows sprint 3g away i mean if you compared the three g speeds of TMobile it's faster than wimax and if you compared TMobile hspa to sprint Wimax it make that look slow. I didn't know sprint was thus bad our i would of stayed i just got tired of TMobile not getting any good phones.

then that is probably the deal. i have Verizon, so dont really keep up with what is going on with Sprint around my area, but i have not heard of them getting LTE around here yet. i am just north of houston, they may have it down in houston, but houston always gets new things, then my area gets it shortly after as they start to expand out. i know verizon and att have their LTE working here. but you are right about Sprints 3G speeds, i downloaded speedtest on his phone and it took like 3 minutes. haha

Which is ironic, as every carrier should be ashamed of calling whatever their top service is "4G". If you had actual, true-to-spec 4G service, you'd need a new pair of pants.

Technically Sprints WiMax was closer in terms of Spec than any carriers LTE or hspa+. But with almost no backhaul improvements over 3g, piss poor rollout speed, and craptastic implementation, it was doomed to fail. LTE gives us 3.5G. LTE advanced will bring us true 4G with LTE tech. Sadly I'm not sure we will ever see it, or be able to afford it with the way carriers are treating data plans.
With true 4G you'll be able to burn an AT& T data cap in 10 minutes and Verizons in 30 minutes. By this time I assume network vision will have failed miserably and Google will have purchased Sprint for pennies and made a prepay carrier full of Android badassery.... At least that's what I'm hoping for.

I'm in north central (Greensboro) and have never had much coverage of any kind on this or my old 3D
The last 4 results were standing right next to a Sprint tower yesterday( maybe 20 feet away)

If you are not in Raleigh, Charlotte, or (maybe) Greensboro, you wont have LTE until AT LEAST 2014-2015.
Raleigh and Charlotte should have LTE sites coming online in the fall and winter of this year.

So none of you guys are on LTE? That's crazy, I'm on VZW LTE and getting about 10 down. Always amazes me that the HSPA+ crowd gets faster speeds than me. Jumping to TMo tomorrow morning and picking up all three of our reserved One's in the morning, and I'm actually in a TMo LTE market also. Will update speeds then :laugh:
12.8 mbs down, 2.83 up.
So happy I decided to get the TMO version rather than the dev edition. I've had the worst speeds over the past ten months with my HOX in a reframed area. :beer:
Also, not in an LTE Market

It looks like there aren't any ROMs based on the T-Mobile formware. Are y'all getting the same data speeds on the international ROMs? Is there a tmobile radio to flash?
I know I have LTE around me so I am anxious to see what it shows.

What area of the country? I had VZW and had one of the earlier phones on their LTE network (Galaxy Nexus), and initially the speeds were crazy, like 40Mb/s down, 15 up. Over time, either due to throttling or congestion, it slowed down quite a but but was still a solid 15-20 down most of the time, fast enough for anything I was doing on my phone.
Curious how the early T-Mobile LTE network does. Should be pretty zippy. There's LTE in San Jose, about 40 minutes from me, so maybe one day I'l see... or maybe they'll roll out in San Francisco soon.
Ignore the speeds under 17...those ones were taken while I was in a basement at work. But all the others were taken out and about and in houses.

Around Columbus OH - great speeds and seems more responsive than Verizon's network.

I'm in Phoenix, AZ...... My VZW never got what other people were claiming for some reason, probably cuz I only got 2 bars of lte with them. Highest I ever saw though was about 15.
As stated before, I activated my One with TMo today and am in strong LTE area.......omg......
40 down, 25 up But that's coincidently when I was about 100ft from a tower.
North Royalton, OHI thought I'd start a thread listing the places where folks on T-Mobile are able to get LTE so that people thinking about buying the dev editon (or just using LTE) will know for certain that it is available in their area. If I have time I'll post new areas in the OP.
EDIT 3 July 13: Thanks to XDA Member meleniumshane90, who has provided a map that is being updated with LTE locations: http://ltemap.org/tmobile

I consistently got LTE service in Vegas last week. It was great.
I'm in Long Beach, CA and I can only get 4G speed. ( max is like 1MB if Im lucky )
NYC does not have LTE yet.
Briefly saw LTE in Factoria in Bellevue, WA - it was fast as all get out

T-Mobile DOES have LTE in NYC. Right now it's only underground inside subway stations. Not sure why nobody is reading my posts...
Once you stumble upon LTE, you'll be like "look what I've found"!!!
It's been accessible since April 25th on some stations of 1,2,3 lines N,Q,R lines and A,C,L, etc. http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/WirelessServiceAtSubwayStations.htm

On your notification bar by your battery indicator...4G will just be HSPA+ and if it's on LTE, you'll see 4G and LTE below it.

Ah, so that's why I wasn't getting the speeds that I had been hoping for. Hopefully T-Mobile decides to set up more LTE towers in my area (Pomona, CA)

Do I need to change a setting or something to pick it up? Was just on the 2 train tonight - I was only getting 2G at Times Square. At 96th, 72nd and 14th I got 4G, and 34th St. voice only, no data!
I had heard a few weeks back that one could pick up LTE in the Atlantic/Barclays Center area in Brooklyn - haven't had a chance to stop by around there yet to see! Haven't seen that LTE yet since I got the One.
You don't have to change a thing. It automatically upgrades to LTE. Maybe not if you stay in the car, but on the platform is all LTE.
I am going to definitely head over downtown to check that out...

Since unlocking my AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 early May for the first time ever I seen LTE on my phone. I was driving from the Philadelphia Int Airport to close to center city Philadelphia and looked at my phone LTE. Amazing. Did use app speedtest.net but results are not lte speeds. Roughly 5meg down and 7 meg up so that is inconclusive. While on lte my email was not working it kept asking for passcode. Then closer to I476 at I95 I was back on 4G.
Is tmobile testing 4G in Philly market now? More interesting I have the regular firmware 1314 on this phone no modification.
