I'm in Atlanta and it seems 4G has been down the last few days. Anyone else notice this or is it my phone? I haven't really changed anything, just installed a few apps.

I'm also in AZ and can confirm i'm only seeing 1X where I normally have strong 4G/3G Signals.
I'm in Connecticut, and seems like I'm having a similar issue. However, I'm rooted, running Gingerbrick radio/ROM, and been changing kernels as Imoseyn puts out new ones, so I was not sure if it was the network, or bugs in the GB software.
No issues in Charlotte. I am currently in the middle of a medical building with no windows and 3 bars signal strength. I just got over 15Mbps down and close to 8Mbps up on Speedtest.net.

In washington dc...i'm getting 3G but not 4G. However I did update the kernal before I went to bed last night so that might be the issue.
EDIT: Rebooted and 4G is back.
Thanks
No 4g where I'm at in cali... But I can say for the past few days, 3g has been slow if at all. Have to do reboot just to get anything and it will say 3g in my phone but no data when I try using my browser and all. (Data turned on)

STL here, 4G zone, into and out of 1X off and on all day.
4G was very spotty in Cincinnati this weekend.. seems to have leveled out as of this morning.

My speeds are pretty much not even LTE. In fact I was getting just as good speeds with my non-LTE Atrix 4g. From my bedroom I get about 1mbps and the upload...well if it registers at all I get 300kbps. Admittedly I get terrible terrible reception here even on my old phone. At my grandmas house where I get 3-4 bars I got up to 8mbps per second on one or two tests but often it was around 3mbps. The upload there never got above 600-700kbps. I live in Orange County, CA so maybe there are so many users that that's just as fast as we get...or maybe it's this phone. I dunno yet. Gonna try it at work(Disneyland) tomorrow and see how it works.
I attached a txt file with my tests...on most of them it says HSDPA, dunno what that even means.
Sounds like you do not have LTE in your area yet. The signal icon on your status bar will say 4G LTE if you have it.

But we do have LTE, it says on the coverage tracker that we do and my dad has the HTC One X and he gets LTE. Now that you mention it though it says 4G at the bar at the top of the screen and not LTE. Is it supposed to say LTE?
Yes it does say it right under the 4G. Go back and look at some of the screen shots. If you are both on At&t you should go to the store because you should have it also.

I don't know the AT&T network but on Rogers, Bell & Telus in Canada you need to specify an LTE APN. The HSPA/+ APN you have configured by default with your SIM probably won't support or recognize LTE service speeds, and even my 'LTE network' microSIM didn't import this automatically, I had to manually input the APN.
33/1.9 I wonder what's up with my upload speed.

Could just be the indicator doesn't change. I have a 3g microcell in my house (long story) which I don't believe is even 4g capable and my HOX+ still says its 4g. Doesn't really bother be either way, I still get better signal strength than I did with my iPhone 4.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Us Haas thinkin 4g and 3g ate the same since 4g is just 3.75 3g w/ enhanced backhaul. So pretty Much any time I see 4g symbol its really a 3g tower just all of them in my area have backhaul so I never see 3g symbol.
Please correct me if im wrong
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium HD app
The 4g is a 3g back hauled hspa+ system it gives better speed than reg 4 g its marketing I assure you but most likely 4g. Is the back hauled hspa+
remember the HTC inspire 4g and the galaxy s2 both had the 4g hspa+ radios and it was marketed as 4g

Marketing Signal Indicators
I can confirm that in my area with a Nexus 4, the phone will switch between H (3G) and H+ (4G) AT&T HSPA and HSPA+. With the One X+ however, it will only display 4G LTE, 4G, and E. Also, Viper XL+ lets you flash the stock international signal indicators which display LTE, H+, H, and E in my area. The decision to only include the 4G HSPA signal indicator is most likely a marketing decision.
Hey everyone,
For some reason my GN3 isn't getting a 4G connection in my home or office, my GN2 gets a flawless connection.
I did all standard trouble shooting procedures with Sprint but no go.
I made sure the cdma/lte option was selected, turned off the connection optimization, reset the profiles and prl.
Sometimes the 4G will turn on, but it will disconnect quickly. Is my phone defective?
Thanks

Sounds defective to me. This phone has a stellar LTE radio, definitely up there with the Note 2.

Yeah a combination of both might really be giving you a horrible experience. This phone is amazing when getting a signal. I switched from the HTC One, which for me was a horrible phone for 4G or just signal in general. This phone grabs and keeps 4g anytime.

Actually it seems better than the note 2, I am getting 4g where my wife note 2 is only getting 3g in some spots. Yes we are side by side when it happens. Yes we traded phones to see if it was just the distance of a foot or two in the truck made the difference. It did not.

The 4g on my note 3 goes in and out. I can wake the phone and as soon as I do the 4glte icon disappears and the 3g icon pops up. No stable 4g connection at. Haven't been able to test the speeds because of this. Now my gs4 is sitting right by my note 3 and it has full 4g getting speeds up to 24mbps. Yet the note 3 is still only showing 3g. Both on the same prl. Both have lte enabled.

I get some issues from time to time; In Seattle, Sprint has yet to officially announce 4G LTE coverage.
I'm lucky to get it where I live and frequent but from time to time it just doesn't seem to work, it will say I'm connected but has DNS errors, perhaps because the connection dropped or they're upgrading a tower... When my connection drops I try cycling Airplane Mode a few times and that usually lets me connect.

I have to cycle airplane mode to connect a lot of times as well. Does anyone know why LTE seems to be so much tougher to connect to than WiMax? On my S2 that I just upgraded from you could set the specific db that Wimax connected and disconnected at as well as the specifc interval that it would check for 4g. It connected to and stayed connected much more reliably than LTE does. I live in a well covered area, but there are certain points along my driving route where the 4g will drop to 3g. After that I notice that it is very hit and miss as far as deciding to reconnect to LTE, even though the coverage is superb. If I cycle airplane mode, it connects with a strong LTE signal. This is after setting the LTE timer and the buffer timer to 1. Does anyone have settings that make the phone try to connect more often?
Did anybody ever figure out why this is happening, i just picked up my n3 while i was in denver where there is no sprint 4g, but i noticed as soon as i got back to my house where my n2 always got 4g and my wifes icrap 5s gets 4g but not my n3?
Here are the settings I use. 4G almost always. connection optimizer is removed on my phone too. If you use something to create shortcuts to activities you can access the hidden menus without using the dialer. Easy prl change is nice but since 4G is new in my area I stay on the newest the phone grabs from network.

Yeah, I'm getting general LTE flakiness lately, when previously it was fine. I don't know if it's the phone or the network. I seemed to have better speeds with my kyocera torque and s4. I'm guessing it's network congestion. In some places with decent signal, it has slow connection to no. Pisses me off when it drops down to 3g. I'm thinking more people are upgrading old phones and hogging bandwidth. Ten months ago LTE was much faster.
You guys think this would work??

I'm having similar problems, I usually switch to cdma only when texts stop sending. I'm sure it's just a radio issue, hopefully it will resolve itself on the next update.

Some Sprint Tri-band phone users have had the issue where they can either stay on LTE and get no texts/calls, or it goes from LTE to 3G, but not back, until airplane mode or a restart happens . This is due to the towers in question needing an upgrade. At the worst, it should be fixed by the end of the year.
The only problem I'm experiencing is that my data icon doesn't go away when Im on wifi, anyone else have this problem or a possible fix?

I have quite the opposite situation of you. Coming from my Galaxy Nexus it feels like I have totally new service. I get LTE at places where I barely got 3G on my Nexus.
Looks like I will be going back to AT&T. Data is too important to take the chance that it could get better with new/different radio... Really like the Max ... Service just suxs ...

I guess sprint users have received a software update for this issue...

there was a post somewhere about the data/lte/phone issue; it had to do with the new Spark network they are rolling out, and if I remember correctly, some of the new areas were undergoing a "fix" to remedy this, and was going to be done b4 the end of the year..
I have no problems with this outside of Chicago, where I think our Spark network is "completed"..

I've had the evo 4g LTE for 1.5 years now.... and really one of my few gripes is the phone does not hold/acquire an LTE signal very well when compared to my wife's s3.... often times she'll have LTE and I'll be stuck on 3g...
I was all set to buy a note3 jan 1. when I am upgrade eligible... but this phone intrigues me and it appears to be $200 cheaper.
I'd really feel dumb to get another HTC phone only to have the same LTE connection issues (btw I live in chicago market)....
I live in the Chicago Market,(burr ridge area) and have fantastic signal now, both for data and for calls, with the new maxx, and my wife has a ONE, and has no issues either..
