I think what he was saying is the 700 can only give so much speed so more towers are needed to give everyone that speed where 1900 gives higher speed so doesn't need as many towers to give the same amount of ppl the same speed .

As a IT/Radioman in the navy lower freqs are awesome for range for sure but higher freqs deliver faster... Either way it is a loose lose lose situation there and I'm not sure what the sweet spot is or who holds it. somewhere between 700-1900 would be the best because you can get slightly faster connection and decent penetration
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phibz:
Yes ignore this.

If the original poster had done his or her homework you would know that Dallas is not yet live. The OP stumbled on to a single tower that had just been transitioned and was up for testing.

When all/most NV sites in DFW allow access then you can call it live.

Sprint is green lighting all at once in a market so that people don't complain about spotty coverage.

North Richland Hills 'Tarrant County" City is 5 min from Ft.Worth and 8 min from Dallas. Just noticed tonight while sitting in Ihop 06/03/12. First time seeing LTE. also there's alot of sites to....."Stumble on" In Dallas Ft. Worth. I hear people talking about it all the time.

If anyone knows how to get drop box links to show, please let me know. Tried the below two methods

In Mansfield (Tarrant County) and no 4G LTE here yet.

But I was in Colleyville last week at Gloria's restaurant and noticed 4G signal pop up in the parking lot as I was leaving...

Can't wait.

I drive all over the DFW and I have not noticed anything yet.

My last 3 phones were the EVO 4G, EVO 3D, and now the EVO 4G LTE and I've never even been able to use WiMax (something about it interfering with the TV signals over the border in Canada), it's going to be some time before I get LTE, if ever. Consistent, stable 4-5Mb with a low ping would be just fine with me.

I live in Buffalo, still no WiMax and no LTE in the foreseeable future. I thought Albany got WiMax a while ago? I know Syracuse and Rochester have it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EPayne123:
Metro PCS has LTE here in Fort Myers where I am at and I can crank out a 4.2-5.0Mb but still would rather await the LTE from Sprint here to get the beast device that I currently have even if I go from $50/ to exactly $100/ LoL. Just my opinion though.

Yes! 3G in Houston is horrendous. I'm thinking about reactivating my OG Evo just to get some Wimax for a while.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpsheridan:
I was in the Sprint store last night and found out that LTE in Dallas "should" be going live around June 20th.. So hopefully that is a true statement. The fact that it is coming is good news though.. At my place right now around Independence and 121 I'm not getting the signal yet. But not much longer to wait!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LMMT:
3G is completely unusable in Houston. I may have to go back to my 3d for a while.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vancer:
Live for real in Fort Worth! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dallastx:
Don't get your hopes up on 4G right now. I had it for a day. They turn them on and off. I don't even see how FCC allows cell phones companies to operate on 3g. Speed are worst then dial up!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shiftedx:
I can confirm off of 820 and beach rite now pulling down 10mbps consistently. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I can't wait to head down to Arlington in a few weeks to get a feel for LTE speeds. I don't think Wichita Falls will get LTE until maybe September.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ngpsaki:
No joy in Keller, TX yet. DFW metroplex is supposed to be live by 7/15/12.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Good 3g is really all anyone needs, sprints is just so bad it's worthless. The whole lte thing is a joke when your data is capped with the other carriers, but that's old news anyhow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parmend:
What part of fort worth?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
There's none in Arlington yet.... Also I had a site in colleyville that I was using and they since turned it off:(

But here's what I got when it was live: The test was 2497 kilobytes a sec which transfers to 19976 kilobits a sec:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dogie52:
THIS!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ngpsaki:
A really stupid question...

Will my phone automatically find the 4G LTE signal? Right now it shows only 3G. :confused:

NOTE: I now live in Keller, TX, just north of Fort Worth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Yeah it will. Go to settings click on mobile network then make sure network mode is lte/cdma:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vancer:
I'm in the Fossil Creek area by 35 and Western Center ... Still strong today but if I get north of Basswood or so it drops which confirms the Keller comment... Also if I get much east of Beach it drops but comes right back as soon as I come back :) ... So I'm guess I'm just lucky where my house is :) ... I haven't been west or south of here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vancer:
See my post above
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ngpsaki:
Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll have to buy a house south of Basswood so I can enjoy LTE speed. LOL!

Lucky you!!! I'm off of hulen and 20 and nothing yet .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
Can't wait for it to hit north Dallas! I will be at the local corp. Office in Irving for training the next two weeks...really hoping to get a taste of lte there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shiftedx:
Yeah it's still strong I work in Keller area and got nothing but 3G but as soon as I hit beach and western center it was on 4g. Gotta say I'm loving it fastest speeds I've seen yet though are about 12mbps down and 12 up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonyah:
Only 6 more days till they turn LTE on. I cancelled my EVO 3D today and stopped carrying it, so I only have less than a week to deal with 3g only (Houston).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
wow. Truly a great statement. All this time I've really not needed 20+ mb download speed from Verizon. I just need 3g!

Thank you for clarifying that. I'm now going to turn my super fast 4g off on my rezound. To think all this time I didn't need 4g!

Just playin with ya. But really I need 4g
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Can you tell me how fast verizons 3g is in your area? My wife has att and it is usually as fast or faster than my wimax. I suppose one doesn't know how "good" 4g feels until he/she has it.:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
That's the thing. In my area the sprint 3g is actually at times better then Verizon. Cleveland has pretty good sprint coverage. But the Verizon 4g is off the hook and its stronger in other cities.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
It's funny how different coverage is all over the country. Lets just hope network vision keeps rolling out on time or sooner across the country. It will be nice when 3g/4g doesn't really have to be a big part of the conversation. We all deserve to have good coverage but i know in reality not all of us will get it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I won't be down in Arlington until July 23. I'm hoping sites are live by then. I'll have a little bit of free time so I might drive around until I find a LTE signal just to see what I'm missing out on until it gets to Wichita Falls.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
I totally agree. I got this phone because I wanted to support HTC and sprint but I totally get the frustration with the network. my primary carrier is Verizon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Ah well you'll be good then! My school is in Arlington but I live in grapevine so hopefully ill get lte in both places lol

LTE In Dallas

I hope its Live July 20th when i Arrive i was down there from June 19-26th and no LTE ... So im crossing my fingers....

I've been to the Metroplex several times. I'm going to a couple Rangers games and I plan on watching Dark Knight Rises in IMAX 3D. I wouldn't be able to handle living in a big city, but I don't mind being a short two hours away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dallastx:
There's a tier 2 call center on mercantile. To trouble shoot certain 4G issues i would assume that tower will stay on.

im in mesquite at beltline and 30. speed test showing 123kbps down and 346kbps up lol... but it does say 4g...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
Hit some spotty coverage in Plano today. When it would connect it was great speeds...but definitely not consistent and signal seemed to be pretty close to the tower..not a very broad range

Looks as if the towers in Allen along 121 are still having major issues too (no 3g)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Razgriz:
No 4G yet in McKinney...at least on my side of town.

C'mon 4G LTE!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rmingee:
I have yet to see it in Allen, or anywhere along 75 or 635 to east Dallas, but amazingly enough I had it in Greenville on Saturday, which is at least 45 minutes East of Dallas. It's obviously really erratic at the moment...

It seems LTE is active all over the DFW area except the actual city of Dallas. I live practically across the street from one of the data towers and have not LTE. Maybe I'm too close?:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baldben:
Haven't seen any 4G yet with my phone. Mostly located around the High Five.

3G speeds tend to be around 500 down, 300 up. Luckily, I'm usually around a WiFi signal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joewmatthews:
I got 20 up and down from 1 mile east of Preston to Aubrey on Hiway 380. Occasionally would drop you 3g but as soon as I cycled Airplane model off then back on it would co. E back in 4G mode. Seems as If radio will stay in 3g mode unless you reset while in 4G area. Travel all over metroplex and it's only place I've found it to work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ptrd:
If this is any indication of the official rollout for a city named one of the first, I feel sorry for all the other cities. I figured it would have at least been decent July 15.i don't care if the maps are complete in december. This is not a good sign.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
Can those of you in dallas areas that have no lte, but coverage maps show lte please send me adresses where this is the case so that I can forward them up the chain
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Um pretty much everywhere....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zisix:
Pick any area from the tollway & 121, down through Plano, into Richardson and down 75 into downtown Dallas. Just made this drive today, not even a flicker of LTE anywhere.

3G was solid though...

Now that it's "launched" has anyone been successful getting credit on your account(s) due to lack of advertised service? I love Sprint and I know build-out takes time (I consult for a company that does 3G & 4G management software), but this is ridiculous.

Fix the maps, or fix my bill.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shockwaveaz:
Yeah pretty much pick a spot.

midway and spring valley eg

I did manage to get lte outside of Dallas today. Here is the tower location:

From this thing in the Walmart parking lot.

@ this Walmart speed.

It's a good place to go to where you know there is lte. The weird thing is that it only picked it up after I turned my radio off then on.

I also lowered my LTE to scan time to 3 instead of 30. I think that it is Rescan time to check for lte signal. I ran it both ways and would drive out of range and back The 3 setting picked it up much faster. We also compared it with my girls phone and mine would always pick it up faster. She was so bored with my testing bs I was doing. Women are funny.

I am leaving it that way for now. It doesn't seem to be hard on the battery as of now.

Got the galaxy nexus and I can pick it up at 380 and el Dorado in Frisco. Its spotty but it is there. People in the gn threads have been going to sprint stores and they have said lte is on the store devices and not on there personal ones. Dallas switch no flip sprint!

briefly got 4G at 121 and Main in The Colony and that was it. haven't been able to get it any where else in the metroplex.

nice rollout sprint. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marcusva79:
No I was not :p sorry was trying to mean that sprint thinks we are stupid. Sprint flip them switches and raise the power and give us lters our stuff we deserve. Sorry guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shockwaveaz:
You might be right. We couldn't figure out why the store demo had it and mine could not pick it up. The rep said my antenna must be worn out. I just smiled and left before I said something rude.

This was at the tollway and park store. There isn't even a lte tower near there that I know of.

Sent from my eVo LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marcusva79:
I honestly think they have those rigged haha. Cho wrote something that made perfect sense in the other lte thread. But sprint reps......blah!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ngpsaki:
I live in Keller next to I-35W at Golden Triangle and I work in SW Fort Worth near I-20 at Hulen. The coverage map says I should be getting 4G LTE in both places, but I've seen nothing but 3G wherever I go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
We have no way to "rig" an in store demo. Connect to wifi yes....rig it no.

If the phone at park was connected to 4g and he didn't connect it is prolly worth having that phone checked out

Those attempting to connect while driving (like on 121 and 75) try residential areas ....I noticed coverage areas in dfw are rarely near the freeways this time unlike wimax was.

Oh...and check the coverage maps...the colony and grapevine for example are the only two I remember shpwing coverage near 121

Those not connecting in listed coverage areas please send me ADDRESSES. this street that does me little good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shockwaveaz:
This entire area..address is in screen cap. All that orange is no go and for several more miles out.

Is the coverage map projected coverage for when project is complete?

Do you have an LTE phone? Just wondering because you don't seem to experience what were taking about.

So the in store phones don't use a different PRL? I will have to check today.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Razgriz:
380 and Eldorado run parallel...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zisix:
Here are two addrssses for you:

Fujitsu campus in Richardson

2971 Telecom Pkwy

(it's right in the edge, but still shown within coverage).

1700 Alma Dr, Plano, TX

Definitely within coverage, but I get no LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
I am not debating you guys are experiencing it. I am attempting to help fix it. And yes...I own 2 lte devices on Sprint

Perfect thank you. I had similar experience in that area. I was able to pick it up by UTD and independence and Plano pkway but that was it.

Keep them coming!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
This input is very beneficial. I had been wondering about that setting.

Prime example of why I say test stationary and outdoors for now ....you can definitely be in and out of coverage fairly quickly
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marcusva79:
Meant in between 380 and eldorado. Preston and el dorado mainly. I connect and then it goes away after 6 minutes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I'm going back to Dallas been out at cedar creek lake and ill see if I can pick up lte

Also the reason I can't post an address is because the 2 houses I'm at aren't in lte coverage on the maps.... But I've been driving through solid places on the map where lte should be and haven't gotten it... I did set my scan timer to 5 so we'll see

Picked up 4g for about half a second in Kaufman Texas..... 4g popped up then went away immediately....

Picked it up again on the outside of downtown Dallas for half a second again. Keep in mind I have the 5 second lte scan timer on

Nothing right next to smu football stadium

Nothing at hilcrest and haynie
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I'm about to drive from Dallas to grapevine and I'll pass both airports and ill report back

Nothing at hillcrest and lovers lane

Nothing at lovers lane and 75

Drove from 75 to 35 and now on 30. No lte at all. Sorry if that was confusing lol

Updated profile and got lte for half a second at cooks and 30 then it was gone....

7700 stonebank court residential area no lte at all....

This is ****

Right when I got onto 820 from 30 I had lte for about 15 seconds then lost it. My moms evo is also bouncing off of lte

Updated both mine and my moms profiles she got lte for a solid 30 secs but I didn't yet the devices were right next to each other... That was on 820 right next to northeast mall

No lte at all from the stretch of 183 between 820 and 121

Also no lte from the stretch of 30 between 35 and 820 except for cooks lane....

Last update. The stretch of 121 from 183 to hall Johnson no lte at all. I'm home now and pretty pissed with sprint. Not getting lte at all and when I got it it was for half a second and I couldn't even do a speedtest before the signal disconnected. BUT I still have faith in sprint and some people know how fast faith goes away
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
Guys I can't stress this enough...doing a test for lte while driving is kind of pointless. We as a group here already know it isn't going to work.

Coverage should eventually get to that point but it isn't there yet. The only way we can help narrow down the current issue is to

Provide specific results from stationary testing outdoors

To clarify...I don't need your home addy. Give me something better than "i was driving through" though. Racetrack at coit/campbell etc. I can look up the addy from there

Anyone in Sugar Land getting 4g? I'm not...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dallastx:
Ok i have a replacement coming "i assume most know by now" Well maybe not...Anyhow i was in the sprint store and all the phones had 4g on them. Every 4g phone they sold except mine! This was in North Richland Hills 76180 . The dummies "well just the assistant manager" tells me its not my phone its the towers. I had to break it down technically how it is not the tower when my phone is sitting on display with your demo right now. I had to go to another store to get a replacement! NRH store wouldn't do it.

00m you said your trying to help so......I would just tell people to go to the sprint store. List the corporate stores that have 4g in Dallas Ft. Worth. Inform people in the thread to call in advance to make sure the phones at the store have 4g. Then go to the store and try it out.

Of course you do as you please but i think people would benefit instantly instead of doing "drive by's" past towers. lol

'Me personally i had to have flashed something that messed it up"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
+1 I like this idea. Also the reason I thought driving and checking for lte driving was because I had my scan timer set so low haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marcusva79:
I got really excellent LTE at Preston and Panther Creek in Frisco. I was at the light and I looked at my phone and 4g full bars. I will post some results when I get home.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dallastx:
Yea man its hot and gas is still not the cheapest. Did i mention how nerdy we look driving by towers? Ok ok we are already nerds, but to actually get in the car and start LTE Driving "the new War Driving" is pointless. Just go to the corporate store that has 4g working.

Cool! Although we need you to stay there "at the light" for at least 30 minutes and keep running Data. 5 min want tell us if the signal is steady.
