Download sensorly from Google play store and see if your area is covered. It's possible they turned it off to work on some towers. Anyways, you'll see lte much sooner than me. :P

I have been seeing LTE pop up around the SF Bay Area the last few weeks. The first time was at game 7 of the NLCS at AT&T park. I also have see it in Oakland by the 580/24 interchange, and Bay Point by the BART station.

Here is a speedtest I took in Oakland driving on the way home from work. This is when my GS3 was on ICS, it's now on JB.

Houston,Tx

Just called sprint today because by my work on 290 and beltway 8 this morning had full bars the no bars then it was going to 3g to no data too roaming. So i called sprint and they said they were glad i called about this area because if i never have called they would have never know there was a issue over here. And i also noticed a Cellphone tower right by job since he told me. And the person that helped me put this as a urgent matter and was sending support out to fix this problem ASAP and in order to escalate the problem i had to speak to his supervisor. All in all i was shocked to hear how sprint was quick and courteous they were to resolve the problem. Maybe that's what we need to do as a customer of sprint is to report these problems ...? ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
I made a small donation to S4GRU and now have access to the interactive maps. I'm not premier which allows upcoming dates of when towers will be going live etc.

Denver Colorado--Sprints official answer between 2 months and 2 years. So there's a possibility that at worst I will already be up for a new upgrade before LTE is even usable...:crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] needspractice:
Have no idea why they moved all threads to here.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to froce LTE only without root? I could care less about phone calls so don't be a dork and say but you would lose your phone capability. Like no duh pal. I don't care.

Also does anyone know how to get there MSL Code from there phone without root with the new secuirty messures in place. All the old ways are not working any more. Have any new ideas or ways? I want to be able to get MSL Code to possibly put phone in LTE Mode only.

Seems like LTE is pretty shotty in Atlanta. Not impressed. Sprint that is. I live in a 3 story house and have to go to the top floor for the phone to stay on LTE and not switch to 3G. Its so stupid. If I go to a lower level the phone switches back to 3G even though I have seen that LTE is still strong but might not be as strong as 3G but 4G is still faster on the weaker signal if I happen to catch it just right.

It's like they do not want many people on the LTE signal unless the signal and conditions are perfect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
For the sake of clarity, have your applied the LG8 update that optimized the GS3's threshold for LTE connections?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] needspractice:
Yes I have applied all over the air updates. Is that the one you are talking about? I have not found a manual one on the web yet. I believe the phone has had 3 over the air updates since out of the box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ButtaKnife:
My phone didn't apply the LG8 update right away - I had to flash that manually. I think I had already rooted my phone by the time it prompted for the update, so it couldn't install the OTA. Double-check your version by going to Settings -> About device and check the Baseband version. If it ends in LG8, you're up to date, otherwise you're missing some fixes for LTE signal thresholds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
I don't think everyone has gotten the latest version (L710VPLG8) pushed OTA. It's easy to check. Look under Settings -> About device -> Baseband version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a454nova:
Denver, Colorado will start seeing LTE in about 1 year. Next Summer. No way will you see it in 2 months, no way will it be 2 years. Giving the big window there... You must of got that from calling Sprint. ;)

I can see how it helps, need the same thing done for "I hate Sprint" or "Sprints 3G suck" too!

All you need is your MSL ( You can normally get by calling Sprint.) and ##3282#. You only need root if you wanna get your MSL yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] needspractice:
I checked my baseband and guys know that I have a Galaxy Nexus. I couldn't post anywhere else because the LTE thread police were out. But for my Nexus the end of my Base band is FG01 so I do not know if that is different than the Galaxy S III. I'm gonna be pissed if I don't have the LTE update.

How do I update to the LTE ROM without flashing? Is there an update .zip file I can download and just apply like a factory update?

As far as getting my MSL Code I will try those suggestions and let you know. They will give it to if you call?

Anyone else experiencing these problems with the Galaxy Nexus?

Amen brother about Sprint 3G! We need assistance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a454nova:
Your not going to find to much about the Nexus around here... Your updates are going to be best found in your own forums. Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Looks like FG01 is the latest.

If your scared of the LTE police. Head to S4GRU.com. That's what they are all about. As for the MSL, sometimes they just give it, sometime it requires some conversational engineering. Might take a few calls. You gotta find out the options for your phone tho. I quoted for the GS3.

As far as Lte in the DFW area... We are looking good around here. I added some pics bellow. :D

Speed Test done from Southlake/Grapevine Area. The crappy part of course... the pin is where I live, which will be the last to get it. lmao

Wow to my surprise this morning I went to the bank this morning in rouzerville pa about 2 miles from where I live and look what I found. This is impressive cuz this town is a very small town and I haven't seen anything advertised for this area for lte. It was a constant signal till I got out of the area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
They won't advertise anything until they get sufficient coverage. They probably only have a couple towers upgraded by you, so they won't tell anyone by you that LTE is active for a long time. Enjoy your little LTE preview. Hopefully, your area gets blanketed soon (along with the rest of the country).

This is unacceptable:mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Not sure if we're talking about the same city, but didn't "America's largest city" get torn apart by a little storm recently? That could be a little bit of a hindrance in getting Network Vision finished any time soon. But that's just me guessing. Maybe there's another largest city in America.

I am in MD and I am getting fairly decent 4GLTE coverage. Back in Sep 12, I pulled 22+ upload and 5+ download in Baltimore...no coverage anywhere else. Now, I get coverage in Baltimore, Elkridge, Columbia, Laurel, and the Ft Meade area. I have not ran speed tests, but I am able to pull a pretty constant signal in these areas.
