Awesome kireg!

Maybe that is where I'm seeing my signal at my apartment.

Can you use the link in Google maps to provide the exact coordinates?
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
double post.
[EVO 4G General] kireg13:
bioxoxide,

I can't give you pinpoint accuracy as to the location of the tower because I only see it as I'm driving by, but it's definitely within a block or so of these coordinates. Definitely easily visible from the 395 going either direction.

Just copy these coordinates into google maps: 25.786457,-80.191045

hope that helps,

- Kire
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Hmm, thats odd. I get on 395 because I work on the beach. I noticed I lost 4G signal on the way over there. I figured the tower that was giving me 4G was more west of my home location. I'll pass by there and see if I get anything when I get out or work in 30 mins :p
[EVO 4G General] Sokesleezy:
Try in front of the library.
[EVO 4G General] kireg13:
It's definitely there, but I will agree with you that the signal is a bit unpredictable lol. As I pass it my phone fluctuates between full and zero bars, so it's probably just a weak test signal and its easily blocked by obstacles and whatnot.

You can't miss the tower and the obvious WiMax antenna's though. It looks like any other cell tower, and has a bunch of white, rectangular transmitter/receivers on it.

Good Luck,

[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Supposed to look something like this then..
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Hey if someone gets a chance can you post a pic of a Wimax tower thanks....
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Going to be there in about 30 mins. Ill post pics :)
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Thanks rather curious to see what they look like to see if I have any in my hood
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Ok, passed by the tower in question near 395

Cords are:

25.787372, -80.194772

kireg13 was right. The signal is spotty right under the tower but I thought about that maybe the tower spreads the signal horizontally in directional cone.

Anyway the tower did have the WiMAX microwave cones. Also the second I came right next to it I got full bars. But the speed was 2.5ish. Most I ever had at my apartment was 5megs. Avg around 3-4ish megs.
[EVO 4G General] rob62652:
I got a 4g signal yesterday on n.w 7 st and 35 ave by the dog track in Miami. I got 8.63 mbps down and 0.93 up
[EVO 4G General] potheadhero:
I havent found a signal in Miami yet but I found 4G twice in Broward yesterday. On the 595 by Pine Island Road and off I-75 and pines. I think someone might have mentioned it in the thread already but just wanted to confirm.
[EVO 4G General] teshxx:
there is slammin fast 4G in broward. central park place and broward blvd. its ridiculous. unfortunately, i live just west of that central park place and cleary :( lol sucks!!!!
[EVO 4G General] alextrox69:
I have 3g everywhere literallyin broward and miami...do they plan onhaving 4g with coverage that good? Where then ill just leave 4g on all the time?
[EVO 4G General] lolz mclollerson:
Got 4G as far down as Palm Avenue and Pines Boulevard yesterday. Building penetration wasn't bad either, I was pulling 2Mbps down while inside a restaurant.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Oh really its getting closer to me then....
[EVO 4G General] lifsfny:
4g in North Miami

I have a glimpse of a strong 4G signal in North Miami - Biscayne Blvd. & NE 125th St. to approx 143 St.

Blazing fast...sweet sweet 4G connection ---> unfortunately I live in Biscayne park (just about a 1/4 mile west) where the signal is non-existant still :(

Still I'm Very happy 4G is on its way in full force.

Hope this helps to all in my hood.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Yea the WImax tower is right in the middle of the park by the basketball courts... I got around 3 megs download when I was right on top of it. I guess anyone hanging in the park can enjoy their 4g
[EVO 4G General] playya:
The tower is just south of Johnson and Wales/Publix on Biscayne on top of the bank....
[EVO 4G General] noname580:
Got 4g at Tiajuana Taxi Co. University and Griffin
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
I think there is a tower some where over there by Nova, not sure where it's at but you can get 4g all the way west of Pine Island on 595 seem to lose it around hiatus/nob hill which is 1 exit east of me LOL Would be awesome to have 4g at home.
[EVO 4G General] kireg13:
@bioxoxide

yep, that's the tower. The signal is a bit haywire for some reason.

I'm working on locating another one that I believe is in Miami Beach.

I got 5 megs down and almost 2 up in one spot on my drive home from work at the on ramp from Alton road to the 395. Gotta figure out where the tower is down there, but its difficult because i suspect it would be on top of a building in miami beach instead of a traditional tower.

I'll let you guys know if I find another one.

[EVO 4G General] regaw_leinad:
Wonder if I have any in the Gables....? I guess I'll have to get an EVO someday to find out haha
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
None in the Gables. I live on the Gables side of 37 ave close to SW 8 st and I get nothing from ground of if I stand by a window on the second floor.

I visited a friend of mine Friday who lives in the 37th floor of a building in Brickell (off of Miami Ave and Coral Way) and I picked up a weak 4G signal up there that gave me 2300 kbps down and 1K up. Also, 4G is confirmed as working off of Biscayne and 30 st, but that was done from the 25th floor of a building in that area, too. Also, I was able to pick up a weak 4G signal from the 38th floor of the building where I work off of Flagler and Biscayne Blvd, but only if I'm right by a north-facing window.
[EVO 4G General] ort84:
Wow I had no idea so many Miami users on this forum!

Just curious if anyone else has this same experience that I do on Sprint's 3G network...It sucks! lol.

Seem to average .3-.5Mbps speeds in the Miami/Hialeah area. Now yesterday while heading up to Naples I was getting 1.5+Mbps on 3G. Why the hell don't we get these speeds down in Miami?

Of course once in Naples my signal was pretty crappy :(
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
As with anything wireless, location, location, location.

There maybe not enough bandwidth in the Hialeah area because too many people are hacking the signal with their Comcast boxes. :D
[EVO 4G General] ort84:
Hacking the signal with comcast boxes? Ok, you need to fill me in on this lol...

What does comcast and sprint's 3G signal have to do with each other?
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Nothing brah, it was a joke -_-

I don't blame you a lot of my jokes goes over peoples heads.

Seriously though, there maybe not enough bandwidth/penetration/coverage to provide a good 3G signal.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
lol...I got it, and I thought it was pretty damn funny.

I get 1-2 mbps down on 3G all the time in Little Havana/Coral Gables. It also doesn't just depend on location. If you are doing a speed test during peak hours, you're going to have less bandwidth available. Try doing a speed test at 1 am and I bet you will get better results.
[EVO 4G General] ort84:
lol its cool, I'm working with less than 5 hours of sleep so just about anything can just go over my head today. :o
[EVO 4G General] italusa:

[EVO 4G General] newtonetienne:
hey there! I work on NE 125th street.

I got 'poor' signal strength on NE 12th Ave, between NE 125th and heading towards NE 127th St.
[EVO 4G General] clockcycle:
Brickell between SW 7th to 13th streets, haven't caught a 4G signal yet.

Gonna try court house area in a few..
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
I get 1.5mbps+ average all over miami on 3g with my replacement EVO that hasn't been Nand unlocked whereas before with my nand unlocked EVO I usually got around 500mbps average, not sure if that might be your problem or not.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Since I work in downtown, I drove by there during lunch. On the way, I was able to pick up 4G and got 2.75 down and a 1 up. I passed where the tower is and ate at the Wendy's, and on the way back, I parked exactly where you took this pic and had no 4G at all. I wasn't able to get any 4G for the entire drive back. However, I was able to get a weak signal now from the north window of my building on Flagler and Biscayne, though.

I think they are turning the system on and off at random (or at least random to us) intervals as part of whatever beta testing they are doing. There is no way I was that close and not able to pick anything up.

However, like you said, the speeds weren't near as impressive as the numbers other people have reported.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Did a speedtest today off of 595 and University at Tower Shops and was just shy of 8mbps, this 4g is starting to seem worth the wait and the extra 10 dollar charge :D
[EVO 4G General] kyleblakepeters:
Pulled a quick 4G signal while traveling on I95 South just as I got to Atlantic Blvd.
[EVO 4G General] alextrox69:
Wow there rollin this outpretty qyick...i hope i get 4g soon where i live.
[EVO 4G General] Sokesleezy:
Which reminds me, what are you guys in Broward getting for 3g? im typically getting around 300-400mbps. I hate it..is there any way to improve this?

So 4G in Davie is confirmed? That was fast.
[EVO 4G General] coolchris305:
Dropped my sister off at her middle school today in hollywood between us1 and sheridan and i drove past by a 4g or what looks like to

be a 4g tower randomly!! Will pass by tommorrow to see if it works
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
In my house I get from 500 to about 1200mbps depending where im at. Outside I get around 1.5mbps, I get up to 2mbps in Hallandale and also around commercial and Dixie where I frequently work. Other places sometimes as low as 500mbps I would say the average is pretty similiar to Miami though around 1.2-1.5mbps.

I have found 4g so far on Pines near I-75 also on University and 595, and in Downtown Miami near the courthouse, seem to be running into more places everyday. It still has a ways to go to catch up to 3g coverage but considering we aren't even supposed to have it yet they are doing pretty good.
[EVO 4G General] surrealmethod:
Why aren't we supposed to have it? Many of the reports released in March where Sprint listed the cities which will roll out the 4G listed South Florida in the Aug/Sept Months.

Seems to be right on schedule.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
If you call Sprint right now, they will tell you that Miami is "highlighted" as one of the cities that is scheduled to have 4G before the year is over. Technically, Aug/Sept is before the year is over, but it could be December before it is official. I don't know how many Wimax antennas are already up and running, but if they had more systems in place, more people would be reporting 4G connectivity that they have been.

Unfortunately, I don't think they are close to being fully ready to say 4G is covering all of Miami. I hope I'm wrong.
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
I'm at Nova right now and I am not getting any 4G what so ever.
[EVO 4G General] clockcycle:
Miami, 8th Street and SW 2nd Ave. I95 in the area.

EDIT: Got new results in varying speeds. On the south bound side of I95 from 62nd street exit to I395, got 1-3 bars, just about start of downtown to Rickenbacker exit got 2-3 bars. Looks promising.
[EVO 4G General] dwightxm:
Got 4G from Davie and Stirling roads going west to University Drive. Then all the way north just before Nova University. Best signal was at Stirling and University. Full three bars and 2.8M download speed.
[EVO 4G General] cybrchld:
4G was working for me today on pines blvd between university Dr. and flamingo getting 4M down and 1M up...
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Was scouting today for my job, went all over from Miami to Parkland, found 4g in several places probably going to miss some but first was at Garcias in miami for lunch which was down near key biscayne, second was on the way back north on I-95 picked up around 395 and finally faded out around 79st. Then picked it up again somewhere around Hollywood Blvd but didn't last long enough to test, then picked it up again at Commercial and A1A speeds were mediocre averaging 1.5 to 2mbps down and around 100kbps up but was in a big metal bus traveling on the freeway most of the time so was hard to get any kind of accurate results. One thing is certain though 4g is popping up all over the place from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale.
[EVO 4G General] clockcycle:
4G around Camilus House, Miami South bound I95
[EVO 4G General] ort84:
Well seems like the fun has come to an end. As of this morning I can no longer use 4G. It finds the signal and once it gets to Obtaining IP address, it simply restarts the process of scanning for 4G signal.
[EVO 4G General] Ninjack:
Maybe this means they will be rolling it out soon. I live in N. Miami Beach, but could not get a signal.

Hmm if 4G hits soon, I may have to come off CM6....at least until he gets 4G going on that rom.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
What I've noticed is that the signal is being turned on and off. You could be right next to a 4G tower and not be able to connect, but half an hour later, you can connect from 2 miles away. I can attest to this from personal experience on several occasions.
[EVO 4G General] guyver2077:

Yesterday/this morning (12:30ish), I was on 95 coming from Blue Martini Downtown Brickell area getting on the ramp and my radio spotted 4G coverage. It notified me tried obtaining an IP Address but disconnects shortly there after. Later on my way home on 95, it spotted service around 103rd exit/North Miami area.
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
I'm glad you feel you have better speeds.

I might agree with you once 4G ACTUALLY rolls out here and is not in a test phase in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale.

I don't think anyone in south florida can qualify to answer your question just yet. If you have questions about 4G speeds, google is your friend.

4G @ Sprint Store 116ave & kendall

It would seem the tower in that area is active. I can connect but then it would seem to be disconnected. Somehow it trys to connect but couldn't. Note I have the updated Sprint 2.2 though I would prefer the full froyo if you know what I mean. I confirmed with the stores rep and they are aware of it but they are mum about it.

As for 97 and fountainebleau blvd. Its not active here. I live here too. Wish it was.

[EVO 4G General] xenxes:
I live on the 35th floor in Brickell, and was ecstatic when I got a 4G signal the past few days, and was downloading at around 300-500 kbytes/sec with only 2 bars.

Then the signal just went out. I'm not sure if it was because I upgraded my firmware/radio and broke WiMax (I checked MAC and it was ok, and downgraded to my old firmware), or it could be the 4G signals were only for testing purposes.

Sigh. Was really betting on 4G since there's no other way for me to get internet here (AT&T ran out of ports for my building and has an exclusive K with it)
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:

4G off of Linton & 95

I work for a radio shop and watched clearwire's tower crew put in the samsung base radios and antennas at the tower off of Linton Blvd and I95 in Delray Beach back in early July. I laughed when I noticed they are using LDF-4-50A 1/2" hardline for the coax runs up to the antennas. That's alot of loss at 2.3 GHz. Anyway, for the longest time I was able to connect around the tower but never got an IP address from the routers, duh...they didn't hook them up to it yet. Just last week though it works now and was getting about 3.5 mb down and 1.1 up

The average footprint of a 4G signal at 100' up on a tower or building site is roughly 1 square mile in open "free space". There have been alot of sightings of 4G signals in Broward county though. Just the other day I noticed the tower crews where using a helicopter in lifting the new cabinet for the wiMax system that's going to be on the Westin hotel off of cypress creek rd. and I95...

It was a sight see, apparently they weren't going to clear the doorways out to the rooftop so the only way was to hoist it via a helicopter...

that's all for now...
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Kind of low (3.5 mbps) for 4G... 3G can usually hit 2 - 2.5 mbps. Of course, it does not count the upload speed which is hardcapped by Sprint at 1 mbps on 4G but on 3G is can reach up to 512 kbps.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Swiftwork:
This is quite a tricky task. I am not very knowledgeable in this area but i do know that you can use the apktool(google it) to access the xml files. But my suggestion would be to look for another lockscreen that might suit you more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] L0cke:
Most of what you want can be achieved by editing the file 'keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml'

This is located inside the 'framework-res.apk' in \res\layout

You will need to unpack the 'framework-res.apk' using apktool to get at the .xml file to edit it.

An example of what can be done can be seen by phinnaeus in this thread:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735480
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] apesgrapes:
cheers both, got the file and edited which was easy enough. rebuilding the apk doesn't seem as straightforward..

Hmmm, the rebuild should as simple as the unpack (in theory). If you get it working I'd like to see the result :)

Would be good to see some nice custom Lockscreen's.

it repacks ok but i needed to copy the original resources.arsc back in to avoid errors. ended up trying two things:

flash the recompiled apk as update - hangs at boot. :confused:

stick the recompiled xml in the original apk & flash - hangs at boot. :confused:

flash a recompiled apk without editing the xml - hangs at boot. :confused:

for some reason the recompiled apk is much bigger than the original, seems so have a few extra folders in there.

away for a few days but will post back when i've managed this. why the fokk the xmls are binary i don't know; editing sony ericsson xmls was so much easier....
