Turned on my EVO lte a few minutes ago after it dying today and I saw the 4g logo. My first reaction? Run a speed test. The results were... Unsatisfactory to say the least. After about 10 minutes of use I was booted back to 3g, but not before getting some screen caps!
Has anyone else had this happen in the Tacoma area? I know it is listed nowhere on the sprint coverage maps or lte locations so maybe this area is currently in testing and i managed to grab the signal somehow? Either way, exciting news for sprint customers in the SeaTac area!

Just noticed 4G lit up (for the first time ever) for me on my Evo 4G LTE while driving on 509 down by the Port of Tacoma. Speed was about 5.5 down and 1 up.
I'm up in Whidbey and we'll never get anything better than 3g, I still goto 1x sometimes, did a speed test today and almost got to one meg off of a 159 ping...

I remember a guy say here there was 4G here near downtown area so I turned on 4G a while back & got no bars on 4G with constant disconnections! I live in midtown & make a mistake & turned on 4G recently & was getting a connection. Sprint must really be working on the 4G because now I get connection all over midtown! The connection is stronger outside…… Here is the speedtest from inside house to outside! Your thoughts……

arghhh I could so use this a month ago, when I was stuck in a hotel, with very bad WiFi.
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

You live in midtown too bro? When I had it on earlier today, it went nearly all the way to Christian Brothers University until disconnected! I'm glad I'm finally getting to use it, I tried to go back to 3G & it's impossible bro! I went from almost 3mb+ down/1.5mb+ up down to like 250kb down/90kb up SMH! The 3G in midtown where I am is ridiculous bro, nearly impossible to use until it's late night round 1! WTF

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 remember working in Philly when the EVO 4G launched on the WiMAX network and when signal was stable it was impressive (compared to 3G anyway). I cannot wait.
I picked up a 4G signal briefly in Huntley,IL. (not too far from Huntley) I was driving and streaming pandora.
I did not get to do a speed test, but I did do a screen shot. Signal was gone as fast as it came on.

I was in huntley (just north of 90 on 47) last saturday, and no lte. This must be very recent.
I hope we start getting it within the next month or so. I'm pretty tired of these terrible 3G speeds.
I'm from Rockford illinois and we officially have no lte yet but i was told we will soon . Not holding my breath on that one:/.

No LTE from West Chicago to Lombard
My EVO is getting lonely without his friend LTE!
If we look at sprint track record these could actually be the speeds. There slow in about every network 3g or 4g wimax when compared to the others. The 3g I's slower than some pre paid tracphones i done seen surf the internet my goddness. I had to tuck my evo in my pocket when someone asked me to look up something it took a while so i just said my battery died and everyone said i thought you're phone last all day .My friend trac phone looked it up in seconds and he's on edge network ugh.

Be patient, they were probably testing. It isn't live yet and won't be for a while. Especially in and around the city, since they're moving outside-in. Check the link I posted. If Sprint waits for 50% site conversion, then expected launch would be September. Which would mean we probably won't see anything until August at the earliest. This could be sooner if they decide to start rolling out before 50%
Can this be true this guy @insidesprintnow posted this on his twiter and lately my sprint reception has been horrible can this be why ?

update: made a lil' lte loop on sensorly's att lte map, so you should see some purple in bakersfield now. i'll work on making it bigger, like i did for most the 3g map.
Getting 10Mb up and down. If you want to know what the LTE coverage is like here, go ahead and download Sensorly for coverage maps. I've already turned it on and walked around the house, it said it picked up 20 points, so that may be towers, just from my house.
note: have htc vivid w/ lte unlimited plan. the misses gets 20Mb down on hers.

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.

Verizon is sure looking better and better when my contract is up in December.

I can't complain because something is getting done and the tower in Howell was the first one in MI. to get updated, so it won't be long.
