I don't see 4G coverage for NY yet at:
http://shop.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/4G_coverage_popup.shtml
Have you run speedtests?
Still not getting any 4G in East Elmhurst/ Jackson Heights area
No 4G in Brooklyn
I was in Manhattan this eve and it was working when I posted this thread. I am in east elmhurst now and its not working I had 3 bars on queens boro bridge. I'll try again today when I goto Manhattan.
I think they had it on at night for testing purpose. YouTube was loading in a snap.
nothing at 38th and 5th in manhattan
Nothing at Exchange Place in Jersey City (same towers as downtown Manhattan).
Nothing here
No 4g on 12th and broadway.
Here is the proof. Today!

If you want to know when 4g will be in your area just check with Clear Wireless. Their high speed wireless is bought from sprint wimax according to the Sprint near me in Philadelphia.
How come no one else is picking it up just confirmed it works on queens blvd until bqe.
Couldn't believe it the other day, I had heard 4G was coming to Los Angeles in late 2010. So... I turned on 4G the other day outside my office and... BING 4G SOLID signal. To put it mildly, my jaw dropped.
I have been driving around with 4G on and everywhere I go in Hollywood has had a 4G signal. Thought it was just them testing, but I have been able to get 4G every time I came to work.
North of Hollywood the signal drops to 3G.
Sweet! Where abouts in Hollywood are you? Near the 101?
Great to hear! I will be on a plane in the morning..
I'm not kidding, I am flying out there for E3, but NICE. ;O

I was in Westwood near UCLA, got 4G signal as well.
I guess parts of LA have 4G now. But San Gabriel Valley and OC still do not have 4G yet.
Yea 4g has been active in testing phase in L.A. since mid may
Yesterdy, I was in a sprint store in Alhambra to try the evo, it doesn't have 4g signal.
You can usually get a 4G signal near any Best Buy which is broadcasting 4G from what I believe. Right there on the 405 and the 10 you can get it, which I suspect is coming from the Best Buy on Pico. Driving from south on the 405 I could get it around Santa Monica and west on 10, it fades off just after Bundy.
C'mon Sprint... bring it to the I.E.

Around Hollywood and Highland
Vine and Melrose strong 4G signal too........!!!!!!!!
There is a large 4G antenna on top of the beverly center... that's where most of the 4g in Hollywood comes from...

Yeah, my friend was at the Beverly Center this weekend and he said he was able to get very good 4G service out there. I'm just waiting for it to show in the San Gabriel Valley!!

That is not true. There was a rumor that some Radio Shacks were using 4G repeaters, but there are no Best Buy stores doing this.

You may be right... I used an app called Cell Mapper to measures signal strength and maps it. It also changed color as it went from 3G to 4G. I noticed that going south on the 405 from the valley, I started to pick up a 4G signal around the Getty. It went all the way down to the 10 and down past Centinla. So it seems that West LA is covered.
Then last night I drove via downtown and Hollywood. I got a Signal as I got close to downtown on the 10, and had a signal (with a few tips back to 3G) on the 101 all the way up to hollywood until I hit barum.
So 4G is really starting to show up in some big areas in LA. Now I wish that the East Valley and Venice would get it...

Screw the east valley........., its all about the west valley SON!
MAN! I wish i would have read this thread an hour ago!! I was at the Cafe Was on sunset and vine and I didn't even check :-( Any more 4g Los Angeles sightings? I really would like it in the San Fernando Valley!

Interesting, do you know if it's been turned off recently? I live one mile east, next to the Grove, and had great 4G service from the launch day (3-5 Mbs in phone, 6-8(!) tethered to a laptop via USB). But since a couple weeks ago, all I get now is the 4G availability notification, but the data connection is not at 4G speeds (status bar icon never appears). This happened right around the June 28th OTA update, which included the radio update, which makes me wonder if we were not supposed to be getting 4G coverage yet in the first place (while ClearWire is still deploying).
I got 4G at the Convention Center during E3 too, but haven't checked that area recently.

We just got 3g 1/27/11 and wondering if sprint upgraded from 2g to 4g? I don't have an evo to check, its not listed on Sprint's 4g cities
It would be a shocker to wait this long for 3g and find we got 4g
My guess is we would have to wait on Clearwire to get 4g not Sprint?
Not that this means anything but .. 4G sprung up at I10 and College St in Beaumont, TX, just to your West, a few weeks ago. It seems to be 1 - 3 towers worth of coverage around that address.
Unfortunately coverage does not seem to be expanding yet.
Check out Lake Charles, LA on this map: clear.com/coverage. It looks like there is a 4G tower online, but it's just like Beaumont .. very weak coverage so far.
(Sorry can't post links yet)
nope
Don't see Louisiana listed?

In lake charles works great inside mall and around Ryan & prien lake rd farther out you have to be by a window or outside. Speed max is 5 mbps down 1 up
yes
T-Mobile is going to be the first to officially have 4G in Lake Charles
i recently found out it is available now (i blogged about it here)
but once the speeds can be considered true '4G' it will be the first in southwest Louisiana =]
I'm getting it in the Lake St/ Sale Rd area. It was one of the first things I checked when i got my EVO 3D. In fact, I'm on it now walking around my neighborhood.
look again
I'm in south Lake Charles on my 3vo with no 4G and has not worked anywhere. It shows 4G antenna on but its still on 3G.

In the mall yesterday, I got good and strong signal. According to opensignal, I'm connecting to sprint wimax. Speedtests are over double 3G.
sorry
sorry but I will have to see it for myself, heck we just got 3g 1/27/11 on Sprint, one of the last cities in the US to get 3G. I don't think we'll get 4g anytime in the near future

In south central LC along the 210 loop it's there. Opensignal shows connection to Sprint WIMAX, as does the 4G connection. It's not official, but it is there.
...must be rolling out a bunch new cities if we have it...only 20,000 people...U of I is 50 miles away...we'll take it...so far 8.35 is my highest speed test...nice...
Fox Lake Area? they have had 4G for a while now (6mo+) .. its like they had 2 extra 4G towers and dropped them there cuz some exec lives in the area or something. makes no sense.

What definition of "Central Illinois" does Fox Lake fall into?
OP: Where about are you getting 4g? I'm in Kankakee County and seeing squat. I can drive up to Matteson to get 4g signal but that's about it. And on Sprints official map it just shows Chicago and St Louis (and surrounding areas).
EDIT: Checked clearwire.com and there are apparently solo towers in a lot of IL "towns." Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, Charleston... I'll be damned.
...Mattoon,I'll...E.I.U. is in Charleston which is 10 miles...but I'm getting great signal in a concrete house laying in bed, so they must of added to the tower couple Blocks away...amazing though...not sure how we got it this fast...not a complaint though,lol...
no 4g in normal..... not even good 3g the big red V will be rolling lte here by the end of the year to bad i dont like the TB
im in the Elgin area and the map says im able to get 4g at my home address and i have never been able to. I only start to get 4g if i drive east of Randal Rd
Because I've been noticing that 4G is popping up in different areas without any sort of notification, I was thinking that we could all post here of areas that have 4G but have not been announced to the public.
I've noticed 4G in Norfolk VA in the Ghent area, and near Portsmouth Naval Hospital for starters.
Check http://www.clear.com/coverage for where 4G (WiMAX) access is available. It's not always publicised when new sites are implemented, but they will show up on the map.

I checked that map, it looks pretty good, but I'm not really sure, it is showing areas that should be active 4g locations, but I'm getting nothing in those areas... So really I guess what I was trying to get out of this thread was a place that people can post known active 4g (well at lest known to the poster) locations to help others know if 4g is active near them. A map is nice, but we all know that those mappings can definitely be off.

Understood, the coverage is spotty.
Works pretty good here in Jacksonville,Fl. Pretty big city so it is spotty in some areas though :/

Theres coverage here in Green Bay Wisconsin where i live granted it is very spotty theres still hope!
There is coverage here in Gurnee Illinois but its very spotty. It's funny the clearwire and sprint coverage map shows 4G in/near my house, but I can't connect to it until I drive around 5-6 Blocks then it pops up but soon as you go further down the street its gone.
Ive gotten pretty good coverage here in burbank, ca for about a year. Also had decent coverage when i visited sacramento.

I'm supposed to have 4g at my house in Columbus Ohio according to the maps but I take my Evo outside and guess what no 4g even standing in the middle of my street.

yeah just check clear.com maps. They seem to be updated weekly. The plan is for a bunch of single towers in towns to show the FCC they are using their licenses.
The maps are geared towards the clear devices that have better antennas than the ones crammed into our handsets.
I've had excellent 4g coverage here in Vegas/Henderson for as long as I've had my Evo. I love it

I will be visiting the Lakewood NJ area keenly this weekend, does anyone know if 4g is up in that area?
Swyped from my CM-CeEvO
I received that sprint premier email recently and it said 4g was in my area, sure enough it was NOT! I called sprint and the guy just kept telling me VERY soon. I asked him if there is a ETA or something like that and all he kept saying VERY soon! My zip is 11714.
I live in Roanoke, Va. And we don't have it and probably never will. T-mobile is the only on here with 4g and they have the worst coverage of the big 4...and they don't even have a store here...you have to go to wal-mart or radioshack to buy one of their phones...I hate Virginia...
Kalamazoo, MI has 1 tower near Western MI U campus....can connect to it for a 2nd near portage but it is very limited basically to the westside of town. But will be nice for Football games in the falls as it does cover the stadium.

There should be some coverage down by Mill Racer Dr. Soon, should be down by Cleavland Ave.
Just wanted to give you some hope.

I can't disagree about VA, I'm actually here from CA, and its like 2 different worlds, but just some advice, AT&T just bought T-mobile, sooooo, if you go with T-mobile, your service is going to get alot worse... Also the 4g in my area was in no way advertised, I just happened to find it, cuz my 4g was on, and all the sudden it connected.

All major (VZ, AT&T, T-Mobile) wireless carriers in Phoenix, AZ (5TH LARGEST CITY IN THE US) are 4G except Sprint. Only about 4 sq. mi of 4G in the whole metro/valley area. SAD!
Says that I am supposed to have coverage in NW Austin, TX but only get 1 bar or so.. and only if i'm outside. No coverage in buildings
Sprint 4g in Hampton Roads!
Yes, I live near W. Mercury Blvd. Near Jefferson Ave. in Southern Virginia (Newport News, Va.) and I get a pretty good 4G signal. But once I leave that area......let's say 1 to 2 miles is goes back to 3G. Something is going on in the area. Hopefully all will be online fully in the coming weeks!
