Super jealous that all of you get to enjoy these crazy speed! Out here in San Diego, CA, we don't even know when we will be getting it. Stores don't know, CSR are always clueless, if you get friendly with a manager at the store, they say "soon", some website that tracks all tower implementation and upgrades say somewhere around 2014. That's a long time to wait. By then, newer technology will be out.

Sprint's LTE deployment can be compared to Apple's idea of innovation, that is, to bring something old and call it innovative and make it sound so cool when it's been around for a very long time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
lol i was in the middle of the freeway and i noticed 4G popping up for a block too then it left, i thought that small area had LTE but then when i passed by again on my way back to el monte it wasnt there so i guess they were testing it and a lucky few got to see the speeds or the icon pop up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Anyone in Florida, please download sensorly from the Google play store and map the trip when you drive by a 4G lte tower so we can all see the 4g connections.

I'm hoping I get some lte love with the testing soon too (Jacksonville, Florida).

is there a way to toggle the LTE on/off like there was for 4G?

do you have to manually switch between 3G and LTE via settings?

Settings > "More settings" under Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Network mode

:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Depending on the device, you'll have to reboot. Once CM10 adds that toggle functionality, we're stuck with the reboot toggle under settings.

LTE In Pasadena. The most it would seem that they have turned on is by JPL. The sensorly map shows a little bit by the 210 and Lincoln.

Driving this morning confirmed it. I hope they light up the towers by Lake and the 210. Seems like the 3g service has taken a hit. I have less signal today than I normally have.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polska2180o:
Anybody lost 4g in the western suburbs of Chicago, I was gone for the weekend and as of yesterday I am unable to get 4g back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Maybe you are near another tower that is being upgraded. I had 4G for a week and a half, then they started work on a tower that's closer to me, and now my phone tries to connect to the closer tower without 4G. If I toggle airplane mode, I get 4G back, but it switches back to 3G almost right away.

They could have also just temporarily taken the tower offline to make adjustments. Chicago isn't officially launched yet, so it's possible they'll deactivate towers occasionally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Is it safe to say 4g lte will be just as spotty as wimax?

With tmobile, my friends get 4g (speeds not actual 4g, hspa) almost everywhere they go in the city
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
No. Every single one of Sprint's towers will get LTE. The LTE coverage will be only slightly less than 3G. 90% of places where you get 3G now will have 4G when NV is finished. And when they roll out LTE over 800 MHz, the LTE coverage will be even better than current 3G coverage (provided you have a compatible phone; the S3 doesn't support 800MHz LTE). The reason Wimax was spotty is because it wasn't hosted on Sprint towers, and Clearwire didn't put in enough towers of their own to compensate for the terrible coverage of the 2.4GHz spectrum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Yes I know about wimax and clear wire..

Thanks for info regarding lte towers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
I thought the S3 was compatible with 800
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
It's compatible with 800MHz 1xRTT (1x Advanced), but not 800MHz LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
Hope the S4 will be. Hope there on sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polska2180o:
That is what I was thinking, just checking if its not rom related.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
How do you know which tower you are connecting to for the 4G signal?

[EDIT: Never mind. I misread your comment. I now see that you are talking about connecting to a near 3G tower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
I really don't, exactly. I'm basing my guess on where the Sensorly map is showing LTE signal. There's an area a ways away from me with strong signal, and the Sensorly data shows it getting weaker toward my house, and the LTE signal completely ends at a major road near me (based on both personal observation and Sensorly data). On the other side of the road is a large area with no LTE signal (again based both on experience and Sensorly maps), approximately covering a similar-sized area as the first tower I mentioned (counting the faint spots of LTE signal that the first tower barely covers). This tower would be closer to my house than the first tower, which would explain why my phone would try to connect to that tower instead of the first one. The fact that it's not finished would explain why I'm getting rejected and falling back to 3G.

In the screenshot, notice the dark purple to the left of the dot, the way the signal gets weaker just right of the dot, and the large blank area to right of the dot. A not-yet-upgraded tower explains that, and combined with my connection problems, a tower in the process of an upgrade is the simplest explanation. Think like Sherlock Holmes.

Tampa Bay area

Anyone able to let me know the approximate dates for deployment of Sprint LTE in the Tampa Bay area?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Tampa is getting tower work right now. They're further ahead in terms of deployment than any other market in Florida. Maybe tied with Miami.

CHICAGO UPDATE

Some parts of Chicago have started testing LTE towers. Most are scattered and causes spotty coverage for now. THE LOOP has also started testing towers as I get 4G on occasion. The near west-side of the loop around UIC and the United Center have also started testing which is more consistant. Speeds are pretty fast in the suburbs (near 30 Mbps) but significantly slower in Loop tests (around 6-8 Mbps).

Sprint has "officially" rolled out with LTE in the northwest suburbs, but it tends to creep into many different regions as well. LTE maps show that LTE only goes as far as Des Plaines, but it is now extended all the way through Park Ridge and Niles (which neighbors Chicago). Also, parts of the Joliet area have been receiving LTE for a couple of months now but is not "officially" released.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:

4G at my own house finally!

Sent from a Galaxy SIII presented by Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alaman68:
so yesterday my phone rebooted and had no signal at all, rebooted it a couple times and the Mobile Network type switched to eHRPD. i have extremely limited 3G now in areas i used to have full bars, but when i have 3G now, the speeds are better than they ever have been here around Philly. 1773 down. Hopefully that means they will start turning on the LTE towers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
eHRPD is not a physical tower upgrade, but a back-end network upgrade implemented in software. It is a necessary prerequisite for an LTE upgrade, because it facilitates IP handoffs between 3G and 4G when the time comes. But the eHRPD might predate the LTE upgrade of towers by months.

As for Philadelphia, the Running List at S4GRU.com now projects an "Anticipated Launch" -- not completion, but just enough towers scheduled for a market launch -- in December 2012. Completion is projected for at least 7 months after that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] owlchemist:
I wonder which tower in South Florida will reach Royal Palm Beach. That LTE would be mighty nice. Has anyone had an issue where their phones network goes off and on a few times before finally "preparing network"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alaman68:
yeah, a few weeks ago on that site that one of the admins stated the change to eHRPD is the beginning for the transition. I live around the corner from the Merck headquarters so they should be one of the first to have the tower completions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
So eHRPD means LTE is right around the conner than

Check this out guys, I'm in Santa Clara Ca and i found a sweet spot for 4G LTE. I was ordering my food at L&L drive in and noticed i had full bars up on 4G, so i decided to run a speed test and the outcome was remarkable. If anyone wants to verify i was at Lawrence and Homestead at L&L across the street from Starbucks. I don't hang out at Starbucks but i'm sure it'll have the same results being that it's directly across the street.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
Nice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Those bars are for voice signal, not LTE. The bars on a stock ROM are always for voice signal, even when it says 3G or 4G. You could be connected to a tower a quarter mile away for voice service and have full bars but also be connected to a tower 2.5 miles away for LTE, and the signal will be a lot weaker.

I know you had a good LTE signal this time, but in the future, you could have full bars and get 1Mbps on 4G because of a weak LTE signal. As I mentioned before, that applies to 3G as well.

Congratulations on finding LTE, though. I've been enjoying it in my house for the last couple days (actually had it weeks ago, but upgrades on a different tower interfered until yesterday), and it's pretty awesome. I no longer dread using the internet on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] verb408:
Thanks for the understanding. You learn something everyday. I also had 4g connection in many house for the past few weeks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aveda6:
Just noticed that 4G popped up in the southern part of Nashua, NH. I was, unfortunately, unable to run a speed test but I will do so once I see the signal again. The LTE seems to be located only in the southern part of Nashua. I live in the northern part and cannot attach to LTE.
