So I have a tower that was updated with LTE and before I couldn't get any service. After realizing I had 4G now by my house, I realized as well that my Airave was disconnected and when I reconnected it, it seemed my phone would switch back to 3G, however some how I am now getting great signal and still connected to LTE while connected to my Airave as you can see in the pic. I guess I will be calling sprint and canceling the return package for the Airave! The green is my airave and the red is the newly launched LTE tower.

The app that is currently up is called Netmonitor, the other one running is sensorly
Lucky!!
man your lucky u have a tower so close to u
Anyone know why mine constantly switches from 3 different towers every 30 seconds or so. The closest Tower to me does have LTE but it never stays on that tower and that's the tower I get the best reception from bout 3 or 4 bars then I'll lose it all in seconds. Don't understand why. We just got a few lte towers up so I don't know if network Vision project is affecting it. I've never had good reception at my house so seeing 4 bars is nice, just wish it would stay

Same here...does anyone know where to find a cell db? This is exactly what I've been looking for because I have the same symptoms as tmoney (switching back and forth between full bars/lte and one bar/3g).

Is the little blue tower thingy an icon for a Sprint tower or an airave? I have a blue tower thingy RIGHT next to my apartment and I have always had awful signal. (2 bars maximum, no bars / roaming minimum. Most of the time I'm at no bars)
Could the little blue icon mean there is an airave nearby?

Uhh not sure what you mean. The green triangle in the original post is my airave and the red triangle indicates the tower that is close to me. And yes so lucky to have a tower that damn close. I remember looking at where towers were going to be and remember seeing one close to my house, but didn't think it would literally be in my backyard...I drove around it to see if I could see an actual tower and I guess its not too high so my guess is it may just be like a station or something..But this airave and LTE is awesome, I been getting 3-5 bars all the time and anywhere from 3-12 mbps LTE

Ill have to check when I get back home in a week. At first I had 4g and like I said I realized my airave was off and when I unplugged it then plugged it back I got the 3g then later it switched to 4g and I checked the airave and it was all green, made a call, heard the three tones at the start of connecting the call like always, so I think it may be because I am so close to the tower..I have no idea lol. Ill let you know what version when I'm home again in a week.

There is an affect called the umbrella affect. When you live to close to a tower you get similar behavior as if you were distant from tower. So it will connect and drop that tower constantly. So in umbrella situation if you stood right next to tower you couldn't connect to it but once you reach a certain distance from tower signal picks up.

That's beyond the point. As you can see I have no complaints lol. I am enough close as I should be and not distant and pick up lte signal, signal many are wishing they had and with a device (Airave) that should only pick up 3g data and voice. I agree with you on the umbrella effect however that is not the issue here by any means. I guess you could say I'm right where I need to be

I don't remember all the places that I was able to connect, I believe I was getting coverage around the Audubon Aquarium (outside) and also just barely in our hotel room, but it was on the inside of the building. I didn't attempt too many times just because I needed the phone to last all day since we were out any about and there was not access to a charger. The Clear coverage map shows coverage there and since I had just gotten the phone, I recall trying see if I could get connected. I do not have any speed test results to verify though.
I don't live that far from you guys, Biloxi/Gulfport area, and they are testing it here now. Keesler airforce base can already get it so I don't see why it should not be in a major city like Orleans real soon.

I've been waiting for 4g in Memphis ever since I got the original Evo. I'm turning it on now to test but I live out in the Wolfchase area so we'll see.
Damn, nothing at my house but good to know we are finally getting some in town. The Sprint tower by my house gives me great 3g with 2600kbps down and 1300kbps up so I won't need the 4g here but when I'm downtown I will be cranking it out.
Since we are flexing 4G muscle...
I had it over new years and at the hotel on the way back and it was awesome. New years eve I passed out with it on and a new battery in, and when I woke up it had stayed connected the whole time and I still had a full battery. Usually I have to stand outside with my phone facing a certain direction before I can get it, yet my evo 4g was able to connect in places where my 3d doesn't even try to.

Fellow midtowner! I've been able to get as far as the main library before losing 4G when I tried on my Evo 4G last year, but I really don't use it all that much even when it is available.
Just tried it, got 2877kbps/118kbps. It'd probably be faster out in my driveway

theres 4g coverage in La Crosse, WI.
I get about 1-2mbps down and about 1mbps up from my house where I have Low to almost no signal (it drops sometimes). About 100ms ping to any mainland server.
There are however a few settings in the ##DATA# menu for wimax, to decrease the drop threshold, and speed up the reconnection process if it does drop. I forget where the thread went though lol

The network vision towers (probably just went local for the OP) most likely are carrying Wimax until the agreement with Clear expires.

Congrats on being the 3rd major Tennessee city with wimax. Here in Knoxville wimax is still spotty but fast when with good signal. Nashville seems to have decent coverage, but if we could all have the speed and coverage that Atlanta enjoys, no one would be *****ing about not having LTE.
I just experienced 4g while driving through the tiny town of Mulvane, KS. It's a town of about 15000 right south of Wichita, a city of about 500000 and Wichita doesn't have it yet...lol. must be a test tower in Mulvane. Anyways here's the three speedtests I ran with 4/5 bars.

A little slow, but acceptable.
If the town is that small, it means there is a little hope for my town to one day see LTE. Supposedly we are part of the second roll out phase in the Nashville market - but I'll believe it when I see it.
Yeah I'll believe it when I see it too. When I first got my Epic 4g they told me I'd see 4g in my area within 3-4 months, 2 years later... I see nothing. I'd be happy with just the better 3g speeds.

The 4g ends right at derby when heading north. It felt close to wifi and now i miss it. Hurry up and flip the switch. I hear they have a tower going near hillside and k96 too... Should be soon you'd think. Then again there was a wimax tower downtown for a bit but Wichita never really got it.

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.

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.

For some reason my GN3 isn't getting a 4G connection in my home or office, my GN2 gets a flawless connection.

Sometimes the 4G will turn on, but it will disconnect quickly. Is my phone defective?

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.

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'm having the exact same problem! Have you been able to figure out anything?

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??
