LTE Signal - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is it true that are phone signal bars has nothing to do with the LTE signal? I heard the signal bars on our phones are related to voice only.

Chicago LTE

Has anyone lost their LTE in the Chicago land area in the last few days? I was running fine. No problems. Then two days ago I lost late coverage and haven't gotten it back since

I've been ok but you may want to pinpoint your location as the Chicagoland area is quite large....
Carol stream to be exact. Nothing has change that I'm aware of. Same rom same apn. Idk what's going on but I miss my lte

I'm in the city (Hyde Park) and have noticed that a couple of areas where I usually have strong 4G I only have 3G. In general, though, I haven't noticed any dramatic changes.
I have talked to someone from burr ridge and they have no issues. 20 down still. Hmmmmm

Have you tried to contact AT&T to see if there are service issues in your area?

I'm downtown right now. Just pulled 15 down and 6.5 up on LTE.
I wish I knew how to check what frequency bands I'm using

How much data have you used?
Go over 5GB with your "unlimited" plan and your bumped down to WAP speeds on AT&T.
Well it just reset on the 21st and I am at about 1GB. Also I just got about 30sec of late after hanging up a phone call. Just to be sure H is LTE on aosp/aokp right?

I dont think H means LTE.
H+ is for HPSA+ which is 4g (really it is 3.5g)
It should say LTE.
No..on aosp it's displayed as
H is hspa+
4g is lte

I'm around the same area. Still no LTE here, but I do get it further east in the Richardson area. My understanding is that this is just part of the process as Sprint rolls out LTE across DFW. I can't find a link to the article, but I read that it should be mostly completed around here by the end of August, early September. I'll look around for the article.

Sprint's LTE is at 10% as of right now. It's "supposed" to be completed by the end of the year...says a sprint rep.

I go all over the dfw area for work. It's very spotty to say the least. What's crazy is the fastest 4g I've experienced was about 4 miles west of Gainesville.

It appears like the started out and are working their way in
Also see the Dallas thread in general. Lots of discussion there

Where is the Dallas thread. I searched and did not find it. I had lte shortly off of 131 and MacArthur near lewsville. Around midnight or so. Showed up as 4g. It was.nice. but oh well. Wonder if I can get some sort of credit for not being able to use my phones lte. If not oh well

What do you mean "doesn't work"? You get error 1012? If so, try over Wi-Fi.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Now that you mention it, I went from 16010 to 16012 in NW Ohio.... Yay! eHRPD speeds around peak times seem much better. (If you live in this area you know that an eHRPD connection is about ten times slower than EVDO Rev-A.)
Well done Sprint!

You can use the phone on AT&T completely stock. You don't even need to be rooted. But lte will never work
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm using the DNA on AT&T on a stock rom not rooted. So far it's running fine no issues besides some occasional signal changes going from 3G to H+.
using newtoroot's sense 5 rom on att, no issues for me, dont use mms though.
also lte will not work.

No my text show up on my lock screen with no problems. I just sent my self a text from my other phone and it's there like normal. My only beef is the signal changing from H+ to 3G constantly.

Connection problems

My brother and I both have evos. Mine is rooted, but his isn't. We are standing in the same exact spot. He is pulling down all bars 4g lte, and I only have 1 bar of lte. Why is that? Is there something wrong with my phone?

Could be the ROM you're using?
Idk if the ROM has a lot to do with connection, but might be. I'm using cyanogenmod 10.1

Ah ha! My 4G is garbage on CM. Well, not garbage, but it rarely picks up 4G anymore unless the signal is very strong. I'd see 4G disappear more than appear whereas MeanBean in the same location and other locations will stick on 4G BUT not always with the fastest speeds. Maybe CM is more "realtime" with its connectivity, if that makes sense (no puns intended).
