I'm in Oakland County and haven't seen any LTE yet.
Really Detroit has it.. Well they are putting more up in Macomb area so metro Detroit.
And this is not done yet soon to be so if you don't have it Just wait it out will be very happy as far as speed goes.
I personally can't wait for it in Tc.. verizon has it here so we should follow suite soon..

Im in flint and we have 4g but not lte. when I switched to AT&T a month ago i was told by the end of the summer lte would be arriving here. they could have been yanking my chain though. When I called at&t they said that a lte tower was schedule to go up by December. So Im not sure what to believe.

Well Flint is in the center of MI and LTE is now in detroit and it has worked it's way up. Now it is up to Fenton which is only 10 - 15 minutes south of me. That has all happened since I joined AT&T a few months ago. Hopefully I will have it before the year is out as projected.

We now have LTE in Flint MI. My son and wife noticed it about two days ago. It is a big difference.

A week after getting it in Flint it showed up in Saginaw as well. I hope this helps someone.

Works good for Android...I'm not far from Annapolis and travel through DC often.
Have you seen any LTE yet?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Nope but I don't check much through the city too much, as I'm driving.
Still waiting...
but fear not, Sprint sent me a flyer touting coverage. :silly:
Good to know, hope you see it soon. How about non-lte data speeds?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm mostly on WIFI. When on 3G, it's not horrible but could certainly be better.
IIRC, NoVa ~ 1M down last check indoors. MD, using Baltimore server, was lower.
Cool thanks for the info.

No problem.
Really the coverage areas are a wildcard. Yeehaw.
Good luck.
When coverage isn't the best just roam haha using a force roam mod believe sprint 3g could be better and LTE is pretty dang good when it comes to wherever you are

Generally Sprint's coverage is pretty good. From my experience, where I live in Coastal NC, it's as good at AT&T or even better. Their coverage is getting better all the time too. Google "network vision" and you can read about it. They are doing a TON to upgrade their current towers to enhance 3g speeds and voice capabilities as well as building new towers all the time. From my experiences the new 3G speeds they are upgrading to is faster than Verizon's 3G speeds.
You can check out sprint.com/network to see some of the upgrades they are doing to the towers in your area.
Was just heading to oak park mall and noticed I have 4G LTE. I figured it was a fluke but here's my speed test results.

We will get LTE with tmobile on the i717.........i thought att and tmobile used diffrent lte bands???
Sent from my SGH-T879 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I'm using stock ROM rooted with stock modem. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is using 1900mhz for LTE and ATT uses 1700. Really digging the late though. Download and upload isn't a big concern but the ping has dropped to about half of what it was. Very happy with T-Mobile. I think the lte will spread quickly like their 4G did.

T-Mobile doesn't use 1900Mhz for LTE, only AWS 1700Mhz.
Regardless the i717 doesn't support LTE over 1900Mhz.

Oh wow this is awesome!!!! Could you please get into your ServiceMode (dial *#0011#) and take a screenshot of your ServiceMode?
Did you change any of your APN settings in order to access LTE or you're running default epc.tmobile.com ?
Thanks!
I'll post a picture of it in service mode around 5pm. I'm at work right now and LTE isnt coming through the building very well. Also to answer your APN question I am indeed running the stock epc.tmobile.com. also thanks for clearing up the frequency bands ok both networks I wasn't quite sure.

I like the techie stuff. For instance, in that screenshot I can see that they're using Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100Mhz), LTE bandwidth is 5Mhz which tells me that the maximum possible download/upload speeds are 37mbps down / 12mbps up in that particular market, EARFCN 2175 means that they're using C block of the AWS spectrum which is 10Mhz slice (5Mhz used for downlink, and 5mhz for uplink).
Most consumers don't care about this kinda stuff, but I do
Thanks again!
Oh wow. Makes sense. Glad I could help and I'm sure this would help others too.

yeah i was wondering if this phone could be flashed to pre-paid verizon like they did in the evo 4g lte forums HERE.? Or any other network like boost mobile or virgin mobile? because my contract is about to end and i need a cheap prepaid carrier that offers unlimited data.

I bought my donor Samsung Gusto for $20. He flashed it via remote conenction for $40. It's only been a day, but everything is working perfectly with my Dinc LTE on 3g.
Wondering if it's possible to use evo lte with another carrier or if u can make this phone prepaid

It's still going to run on Sprints network, but its a ton cheaper.

Even cheaper than ting & still running on Sprint network with Lte is Straight talk. I've had success with them.

You could flash it to Page Plus Cellular. It's a prepaid service provider that runs off of Verizon towers with good service and ridiculously reasonable plan prices that can be changed monthly depending on your needs. That's what my husband and I have ours on.
