If you live around Dayton, Ohio I have some good and bad news. :The good:When I woke up this morning I noticed that I had 4g. :The bad: I ran a speed test and it is about as fast as at&t and tmobile's non lte 4g, and I only found it in a few areas around Dayton(needmore&75, parts of down town, route 4 near harshman, and around Huber heights). But I guess that isn't really bad news, because that means that it will "officially" be live soon. I figured I would pass this news on to the community.

Probably a low LTE signal with only those speeds. Your bars are the 1x signal strength. Try the SignalCheck app to see the real LTE signal strength.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] numbroino21:
I'll check it out. I was just letting people know what I had found. What do you mean by "1x signal strength"? I had full bars.

Sent from my Mobile look at device
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
1x (aka 1xRTT) is the voice connection that Sprint uses. The signal strength meter always shows the signal strength for this voice connection. LTE and EVDO will have much different signal strengths at the same location due to many different factors, but they will almost always have a much weaker signal strength than 1x. So those "full bars" you see only apply to the 1x strength, not to the weaker LTE and EVDO connections.

Your 1x signal might be strong, but the LTE and/or EVDO connection could be as weak as a single bar or even zero bars. The phone will still display the full strength 1x signal rather than the weak LTE signal.

Don't be fooled by "full bars" on a stock ROM. Your LTE connection was still sh*tty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] numbroino21:
Thank you for clarify ingredients that. I know it was crazy. I was just letting other people in the area know it was coming is all.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
With those speeds, you're likely at a -110-115 dBm threshold (given the amount of noise present). This is relatively low. You can download an application from the Playstore that's called SignalCheck and it'll inform you the signal strength of all of the signals you're connected to. WiFi, 1X, 3G EvDo, and even 4G LTE. ;)

So I'm in Colorado Springs, just an hour south of Denver, and they've been testing 4g here for the last few weeks. I only notice it late at night and it only turns on for about 5-10 min and then goes away again but I've got proof!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RedheadTarn:
However most times I notice it's on 4G, it's because my speeds have gotten MUCH slower,

Which leads me to believe it's still in EARLY testing...

Patience?? What?

Im way way way beyond patience. The original four months they promised was patience.

I dont give a flying rats a%% why they havent delivered. Thats drug user talk. Or addict talk. What I mean by that is they either deliver or they dont. Companies who make excuses are selling excuses and not a product. Its like the drug addict who always has an excuse why its someone elses fault. No its their fault.

No one made them claim they were selling lte. If they cant get it together they should pay for their mistake.

Ill have a ribeye steak. Here ya go, this is a ground patty. We couldnt get any ribeyes. Here is your bill for the ribeye. really? That makes sense ??

No freaking way its a total rip off and a scam. No one should stand for it.

AND EVEN WORSE? I went to tmobile. Their gs3's connect to hspa 4g AND Lte. w t f

How and why does Sprint gs3 not connect to LTE AND hspa 4g???? Why and how would they limit it?

To make sales.

Total freaking BS and they should be sued.

Its scamming on a grand scale. They are selling a product which can not and does not perform as they claim it does.

Here is your brand new Toyaota sir. But since we are in Denver and the elevation is high and we didnt hire the right engineers it wont go over 30 mph. Yes the price is the same. We will charge if you wish to turn it in.

Total freaking scam. Patience. pff Over 12 months of patience with a phone that cant work the apps b/c they require more than 600kbs....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Point is, if you can't be patient while they completely rebuild their network then go elsewhere, just like you did.... You had plenty of time when you bought the phone to return it (with no charge) if it wasn't up to par for you, you can only blame yourself for being charged an ETF...

Something I learned at a very early age, if it's not in writing don't believe it... There was no paperwork promising you 4g in a set amount of time, if it was they would've had to deliver or let you out of contract for breaking their end of it...

And what exactly would you sue for? For your area not having 4g? Goodluck with that... If you could sue for that I could sue every other company that promises 4g (and all of then advertise 4g everywhere, it's part of their campaigns) but doesn't actually have it...

Sprint will get there, but a complete network rebuild takes time, it won't happen over night...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ephayzee:
LTE is spreading into San Jose which is good. Some spots still hit 3G but 4G LTE is coming around. Finally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eichenberg:
I was in a Sprint store today because we have been having lots of dropped calls the past week or so and they said all of Colorado Springs will be full 4G by end of November...consider the source but in any event things are moving in Colorado Springs.

I don't see it by the end of November, but they are starting to move quick. Hang in there, it's worth it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I will say what Sprint needs to do is communicate better as to which markets will get LTE and by when .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
They do. There's a complete forum set up on it with updates and mapping of markets that are active, being worked on and future markets.

Look for S4GRU in Google.

Remember SEARCH is your best friend, Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
Now that's now a Sprint run site but it does have the best info. Sprint has their own little forum.

Is Utah even on the list yet? I was locked into a contract with them under the assumption that the sales agent wasn't lying to me whwn he said we'd have 4g lte here in utah in my area....over a year later I've seen nothing. ...very very very annoying
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
I can tell you sales agents, techs and no one gets information on network vision deployment. This is a fact. XDA users and followers of S4GRU have more information available to them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yeah we got the towers upgraded here in Walterboro (Small city) but, they haven't flipped the switch yet. I've been calling and aggravating them to death. I know the towers are upgraded because I went to one while the crew was out there doing it and they said they were upgrading them to lte for Sprint.

Dconn or Dcomm I forget which one he said

But Summerville, Charleston, North Charleston and a host of others have it already. I go out everyday and map it using Sensorly..

And a side note, I have seen many different towers around here with cranes at there bases raising up what looks to be new antennas. They are round white cylinders that seem to be being mounted at the bottom of the other antennas on the towers.

I work at UT, and they have also been working on towers on campus. I don't think the towers by Dell / heb are sprint towers.

North Austin/Round Rock Locations

A friend of mine has seen LTE along 620 in North Austin/Round Rock, I think near the HEB. If I recall correctly from his screenshot, my friend was getting 18m down and 12m up!

When I looked up images for LTE antennas, it showed long flat bars. The round white antennas were for microwave. I'm guessing for communication between the towers, not direct phone to cell transmission.

I just started getting some 4G in South Jersey in Mt. Laurel. The highest speed was around 7 Mbps down, and then the next day it was 0.02Mbps. I have been having this experience in different parts of Philly too, one day I get 18 Mbps down and the next 0.020. Nothing seems dependable yet. Contacting Sprint and they just don't give a decent answer. One day it's they are upgrading/fine tuning/repairing and every day the explanation changes, but still crappy service. One spot I worked at was shot for 31 days, speeds under 0.30 and dropped calls all day. Sad part is before they started in the area my 3G was 1.80 every day in the building, I could stream Slacker all day. Then one day it was 4G and averaged 15 Mbps. Then it went to **** for over a month. I start a new job in Center City tomorrow, can't wait to see what that brings.
