Try it now, they are refarming their network with many cities live. I used to be on T-Mobile a year ago and got about 800kbps at 24 hour fitness here during peak hours, I'm guessing it was due to penetration and how packed it was. Now? 8-15mbps. They are using their 1900 band for hspa+ now, which supposedly improved building penetration by 25% and speed by 33%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
TMobile sucks here. They don't even have all of the interstate covered here. Missing whole cities for hours.

I was looking at the phones in Walmart a couple weeks ago and was really just looking at the types of phones. The lady saw me looking at Tmobile and said, no don't get those. She pulled one from behind the counter and no signal. She said even if you went outside it has no signal. No thanks.

man we should all complain till the cows come knocking we pay for a "Premium Data" fee and dont give me that bs its because i have a smartphone ive had treos and wm devices that didnt need it it, so as long as im being charged for 4g and and barely have 3G and i live in a Major City sprint can suck the fat one

I left 7 years of Sprint in November for ATT version of GN2.

I was more then happy with my ATT HSPA+ speeds 2900kbps/1900kbps seeing I came from Sprint 350kbps/80kbps.

Well This morning I get a pleasant surprise at work from ATT

Arived home for lunch speed test indoors.

ADDING:

I'm not knocking Sprint , I'm sure they will get it together in my area soon late spring so they say.

A good buddy upgraded to Sprint Note2 hes pretty stoked , I will be bringing some of my mods/themes over to Sprint side.

Thats about what i am getting here in minnesota on 4G LTE. sometime as high as 1.5mbps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
Fwiw I am pretty certain There currently is no area that is 100% complete. Some are further along on 3g upgrades...others on LTE

3g upgrades will include backhaul improvements but still wont be hspa+

Lte is lte...I have seen a boost in my att lte speeds..but no consistant boost. And I still get throttled to dial up at 5gb of usage.

My sprint lte speeds show the positives and pains of progress. Can definitely tell they are working on it when they are working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
Out of everything Sprint is doing..I'm just looking forward to better 3G speeds to be honest..for years at 30kbps getting anything above 1Mb will be like LTE to me..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neemot:
They are currently doing extensive tower work in my area but I'm getting okay speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] red man:
I been having this same problem with sprint and they always tell me its my phone, i think there should be a class action for all this BS they say. im in new york city Flastiron district, rite next to their flagship store and these are the speeds i get:

I love sprint. Im in Brandon Florida and lte is great and 3g is great as well 2-3 down and 1 up all day. Hopefully they get things together everywhere else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Wish my stupid region/county would fix these damn permit hangups so they can finally turn our LTE on. Works been done since early-mid December but the pencil neck paper pushers in our county gubmint is tying up the permits needed for it to go live :mad: I'm not far south of you either(manatee county), and I get great LTE in St Pete and Tampa and Brandon when I'm up that way visiting family.

At least they did get the 3g NV upgrades live so I'm getting closer to 3mbps down and 1.5-2mbps up but I want some 20-30mbps down and 10mbps up like I get in Tampa at my mom's house :mad:

You guys are lucky, i am considering going over to tombile, hell simple movile gets over 5mgs down here in NYC and they are 50 bucks for UNLIMITED EVERYTHING!!!!!!! other consideation is Tmo for their unlimited everything plan 2 lines for 120! i really want to keep sprint, but the way things are going.... lets say i will give it another month or 2 and im switching and getting a S4 or HTC One
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
NY LTE is lighting up like a Christmas tree. I'd hold out it's covering quick there, at least some of the 5 boroughs are almost entirely blanketed already. The only area really left out in the cold appears to be long island. Download the sensorly app from the play store and you can find all the live LTE towers around your area.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] red man:
^^THANKS BRO, Ill check that out. but its a shame because i have yet to see the 4g logo on my phone, ugh!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Make sure you update prl and profile, then toggle to cdma/evdo only, reboot. Update prl and profile again, toggle lte/cdma mode and reboot, update prl and profile one more time and reboot. It should kick LTE in. Whenever I'm in LTE/cdma mode with no lte around for a long period of time I have to do that little dance when I'm in an lte area again to get it to kick in for some reason. After that the hands off fine until I'm in cdma land for a long time again, usually a few weeks with no lte and it hangs in 3g when I'm back in an lte area til I toggle it around and update the prl and profile to refresh my network authentication. If you're in an lte area and that doesn't work you can manually re provision your phone and it will definitely connect to lte after that. Idk why it gets stuck in ehrpd like that when I'm on 3g for a long period of time, my best guess is my lte radio falls asleep and ends up in a coma. I'll go copy the manual reprovisioning steps from one of the 20 or so threads I've posted it in recently, give me a second or 2.

Here you go:

Go to settings > about phone > status and write down phone # and MIN

To get MSL(must be on Android version 4.1.1 or earlier[LJC]) :

Open dialer ##786# > enter 000000 > let it fail

Open terminal emulator from market and type

getprop ril.MSL > hit enter > copy 6 digit #

To reprovision:

Open dialer and dial ##786# > enter MSL > reset > wait for reboot to complete

Open dialer again > ##72786# > edit > phone # > enter 10 digit # > back up a page > MIN > enter 10 digit MIN > back all the way out to home > reboot(if it doesn't automatically)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] red man:
Thanks again, i will follow those steps and post back with an update in a few days after i fully tested this out. it is strange because i am in the highlighted lte areas with no lte speeds.

Thanks Again!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
No problems. Your handoff probably got stuck like mine does. Once you get it working if you're in and out of LTE areas frequently it doesn't hang up as bad and all it takes when it sticks is a toggle of airplane mode or a reboot instead of jumping thru a bunch of hoops like a circus seal on crack.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
There is no way that is 3g like most of us are still unfortunate to have because Sprint sucks and has not lived up to their promises of providing 4g and LTE service. I dont buy it either way cause not even their LTE is that fast. My problem with Sprint is that even if your speeds are as fast as you claim, compare them with mine and then tell me why I pay the same price for my service that you pay for yours. Is it fair or is Sprint f***ed?

You have 4g speeds posted not 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Rebuilding a network takes time, it's not an instantaneous push a button and the network is fixed. Either be patient or pay your ETF and go somewhere else. You had time to try out the network before staying committed, and dont give me the "I've been with them XX amount fo time" line of crap, you had upgrades where your contract was over and you could have left but chose to stay.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
I love in Phoenix AZ and here is what pisses me off about Sprint.

One, it will be 3 years ago this August that we were promised a citywide 4g roll out. Then someone at Sprint who cant negotiate for **** lets the deal with Clearwire fall through. Result: No 4g and at that point Sprint should have made Phoenix a priority. Especially considering a ton of people bought 4g phones, myself included, pay "premium data" charges and we don't get jack "premium" ****.

Two, Still to this day we have no 4g (wimax), no LTE and no definitive date or even a good time frame as to when we will have it and still we pay the same as everyone else. If enough people who are in the same boat would flood this email inbox dan@sprint.com maybe they will do something about it. I for one am tired of seeing Sprints updated lists of LTE cities, only to find they are small cities with low populations.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

No my problem is Sprint's lack of care for their customers. Since you mentioned it I will put it out there that I have been with Sprint for over 15 years now. And no the network is not at all fixed. We have been without data in the central part of Phoenix for the past 2 and 1/2 days. You check with Sprint and they are clueless. You ask them to compensate you for the last of service that you pay for for 7 phones and they offer $20 LOL Is that acceptable? http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-spending-additional-200-million-3g-network-lte-rolls-out

**EDIT** When Cricket offers LTE before a company as large as Sprint there's a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I've been with sprint for over 16 years, I've watched them go from good to bad, back to good and almost go bankrupt a few times during that time. $20 credit for 3days (rounded up) is about right. What do you expect the whole month to be free cuz you had an outage for 3 days? There's nothing in the contract that guarantees data to work 100% of the time, so they don't "owe" you any kind of credit. They could simply say there's an outage due to XXX deal with it, and you complain about lack of customer care? They obviously care somewhat since they offered you compensation for your first world problems to begin with. Verizon would have told you flat out to go fu*k yourself, I know, I deal with those morons monthly for my mom since they like to bill her for whatever the hell they feel like sticking on there every month. You aren't guaranteed 4g, WiMax or LTE, it expressly says "where available". The premium data charge is for smartphones since they use data almost 24/7 in the background, it's the fee for you to have a device with unlimited data that sits there and sucks on the network like a pig at a trough, even when you're not using it. Verizon doesn't charge you a premium data fee since they charge you a $40/month/line "access fee" on top of your monthly plan. Take your 7 lines to Verizon your going to pay $280/month just in access fees on top of whatever plan you choose, minimum being $40 for 2gb shared between those 7 lines. If you wanted to share the max plan you're looking at $100 for 10gb shared + $40/line x 7 =$380 before they hit you with another $60-70 in taxes and fees. Go over your data its $.05 a mb. I have 5 lines on sprint and pay ~$210/mo after tax. And we use way more than 10gb a month in data.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
You're missing my points though. As a large market and as the 6th largest state in the U.S. and Phoenix being the 12th largest in the nation with close to 5 million residents we should not be a "3rd round market" (meaning by the end of the 3rd quarter if we're lucky) and the main reason we should not be is that Sprint assured us we would have nearly state wide 4g almost 3 years ago. When Clear Wire bailed and Sprint started to install LTE we should have been at minimum in the top 5 to 10 markets to have it. Not places like Paducah, Ky. or Milledgeville, Ga. which have 20,000 to 25,000 population at most. The markets with the largest populations should have been first because there are more paying customers and more potential for additional customers. Now Sprint is losing customers in these markets because they are tired of paying and waiting. Google "Sprint customer loses" and read about how many customers Sprint loses. Someone at Sprint had made some poor decisions and poor planning when it comes to LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flight01:
You are absolutely right! !!!!! But what u don't understand is if sprint had to put new towers not just retrofit existing or actually change the physical structure of a tower they have to get permits. Also in some states or cities if they do have an existing structure and a permit for it and to broadcast its only a permit for that structure and to only broadcast that signal.

I was just like u until I found out my city was basically black mailing sprint into paying extremely high fees to the city just to retrofit an existing tower for lte... The reason the roll out is taking along time or certain cities are getting before others have to do with contracts and permits and cities holding it up and trying to squeeze sprint for money. They will approve one tower but then will not approve another Site a few miles away leaving a huge gap slowing the roll out in a certain areas. So moral of the story sprint is smaller of the big three and getting bullied a little by some cities so it's slowing down the progress. It's not all sprints fault.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It's happening in my market too. The towers are upgraded and ready to go but the county won't give them the broadcast permits yet. LTE has been ready here since December but it can't be turned on yet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proof2006:
Yup their lte is slow...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
That's too bad that your Sprint lte speed is slow. My slowest lte speed was around1.5 mbps and my highest was around 28mbps. Also remember that unless your an official city with lte officially turned on the speeds will not be at their fastest. Either way if it continues being this slow for you then change services. No reason in complaining if nothing changes. For me Sprint has been improving so I will give them till end of year and see where their at. Just the other day I connected to 4g lte and I got decent speeds, not to mention I was inside of building

Anybody around the Oklahoma City area? I've grown so I tired of waiting on 4g and was telling my wife we were gonna switch carriers since OKC isn't even on a rollout list I've seen...... then the next day I looked down at my phone while around town and seen this. Its spotty around town but they are obviously doing something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DevilStrider:
They need to get down here to Lawton Fort Sill area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
Sprint's LTE is slow in your area I guess. Not mine.

Tucson, AZ

I used to get terrible service 2-3 months ago (20-30 kbps down 5 kbps up) but it seems its gotten better for 3G
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcaplinger76:
Yeah I don't think it's really on yet... I can't even finish a speed test because it is on and off and sometimes doesn't connect, but at least it lets me know they are doing something
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
It won't be long after this then. That's how it was here in Michigan. You'll appreciate Sprint more once they get it going. Ours is still spotty but starting to fill in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ls3mach:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
You're complaining about your speeds on 3G with your upload and download basically being 1mbps? That's decent speed for 3G! Try coming to CT and pulling 0.10 and below all day. Now that's crappy 3G. Wait it out or pay your etf and move to the next carrier.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Yeah my 3g speeds are unusable. Usually around .05kbps then maybe 100kbps upload. But 4g here in Indianapolis is slowly coming on avg 5mbps down and 3mbps up at work then only 1mbps down and usually 3 plus on upload at home and I have tried different modems with close to same results. As long in 4g area can't complain any more cept at home with almost full bars I get dropped calls if longer than 2min avg.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
I have been with Sprint for 8 years. Guess what, their data speeds SUUUUUUCCK! How can anybody deny that? So tired of not being able to do simple things. Like trying to download any app on 3G. So crippling. I have signed the last 2 contracts because I wanted to stick with them and give them a chance to fulfill their promises of a faster network. Stuck by hoping month by month for the Wimax just to be a major failure, signed the last contract still holding on to the hopes of their promised LTE and still NADA!

I ran a speedtest on my buddies Verizon GN2, and holy crap thats what I need for data speeds! Over 20Mb down, and 10 Up. F**K you Sprint!

So NO, I an NOT tired of knocking Sprint for thir slow data speeds!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
How long did Verizon had lte up and when did sprint started rolling out theres? Exactly you comparisons between 2 companies that did not start rolling out their lte at the same time is useless bro quit whining and leave. Be mad at them for not getting lte to your area as quick as possible cuz theres folks out there like myself that are enjoying the lte because of the area what you thought that with a snap of a finger sprint was going to have the whole country lit up lol? This takes time either you can wait for your area to get lit up or you can move on to a carrier that been had your area lit up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
I wish people would quit bashing any carrier. They all have their flaws. I refuse to complain about sprint when these are my crappy speeds now

I get 3~5mbs on one bar of lte in the house. They havent updated the tower closer to my house yet.

I got these speeds when I traveled bout 3 miles up the road probaly close to what ill see when our tower is finished. On 3g I get around 1.5~2mbs usually its been slow latst few days sothey maybe workin........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
That one bar is your 1x for voice and sms. It has nothing to do with the LTE signal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
sorry 3M down 1.5 up sucks. plain and simple and you will ONLY get that in an LTE coverage area.

sprint data SUCKS. it sucks hard core.

but I am with sprint and I am not going anywhere. why? its simple.

Sprint $57 a month pretty much unlimited everything including 4g

everything else. Double that.

Nough said :) and IT IS improving. even 3g has been improving these last 2 months its actually "usable" again :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweets55:
I don't need crazy ass speeds. I would happy with 3MB down 1.5 up. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
I was referring to the coverage on the sensorly map. It shows my area as "1 bar" LTE coverage.

Sprint data sucks where YOU live ners lol. :p On average in this area I see 10-15mbs+ up and 5-10 down. 3mb is all I get at home cause I live farther from the tower that has LTE. But no matter thanks to WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
This its what i meant digiblur. Not the signal bars on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
agreed sweets 55. problem is in 99% of the country your not getting anywhere remotely close to 3/1.5 not even SLIGHTLY close.

now that IS improving. its getting better. as long as it keeps getting tangibly better I am happy.

because the alternative to sprint to me is "no service" since I won't pay a dime more :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
I can understand where he's coming from. You have to understand that although lte is still a work in progress they should at least have a usable 3G network which they don't. 3G should've been up to par with the rest of the carriers years ago before lte was even thought of. The lte roll out shouldn't be Sprint's excuse for their crappy 3G as they are two different technologies. 3G has been crap since the wimax days :banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chunology:
I agree with you... on my commute home my data doesn't work more than it actually does work... it's pitiful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
Thank you!

I mean its not like Sprint just started to launch 4g, they have been trying starting with Wimax since 2006!!!! Verizon began 4g LTE rollout in 2011 and already have a hell of a lot more coverage than Sprint. I am still waiting to see a usable data connection.

So yea, Ill be tired of complaining about Sprints data speeds when, "get this".....they dont have terrible data speeds anymore. Make sense?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
I agree also but you have to remember Wimax and lte is two different things Wimax was really only well you can say a 3.5 boost ob steroids at some point and also sprint made alot of mistake financial wise in the past that left them dead broke they really didn't have money to be upgrading their data services like that including 3g do once this softbank deal goes thru it will be better as you can see in this forum there's plenty of folks out there that has great speeds even greater then me but im still here knowing that its a slow process for my area to officially go live. Folks with slow data could either wait it out and be rewarded with better data service or switch carriers its that simple.
