Anyone know when they are planning to get 4G up and running in Orlando Florida? It is really surprising that Orlando wasnt one of the first 4G cities considering that clearwire is headquartered in Orlando
Afaik they are talking about late summer. Do a search on google you will find some info on it. Part of the reason that Tampa and Daytona got it first is because of Sprints sponsorship of NASCAR and the NFL.

There is a 4g signal in orlando but it will not obtain an ip address, same as tampa.

Yeah, but I still get excited to see that pop up saying it's available.
Mcdonalds have free 4g service with a happy meal purchase.

I hope you weren't trying to be funny because that was pretty lame.
When I purchased my phone in June, the Sprint Store (Ocoee) said that they expected 4G by the end of June. So, I purchased the phone. I was able to connect 4G from day one but, like everyone else, was unable to obtain an IP address.
Since it is now the end of July and there still isn't a way to obtain an IP address, I contacted the store again. They said that there are birds nests at the top of the towers and that is stopping them from getting the upgrade completed.
All I have to say is, "Now I have heard it ALL!". Never believe your Sprint stores. They are all full of s**t!

if im not getting 4G signal now without it finding an IP, does that mean there wont be one in my area when it goes live? Living in the Windermere area

Well, today it started connecting to Sprint again and trying to obtain an IP address. Obviously, it never gets one but, for the past few weeks, it couldn't connect to Sprint at all.

Bald Eagle nests... It is a felony to touch them so you have to wait for the babies to leave and get a permit to take it down. You can have one die in your backyard and it is still illegal to touch the carcass.

Ocoee is quite far from downtown orlando.. i heard 4g radius is pretty small compared to all the other technologies. Do you think when they mean 4G in orlando do they mean they will have towers all over orlando, or do u think they will just have one towerr?

I would think they are trying to get all of Orlando covered because as it has been posted it has been seen in downtown and waterford. I have seen UCF area get signals, and I get signals where I live in SW Oviedo by Aloma and Dean, and I have even gotten signal in southern Winter Springs.
It's not that far really but, I do get a signal sitting in the office at work and I work in Ocoee. I have heard some people say they can't connect indoors but I was able to.
Well, I am no longer connecting to a signal tonight and I live in Orlando. Maybe they really are working on them.
As for the nest excuse, I would be a believer if I wasn't able to connect and just not obtain an IP. Isn't the tower already upgraded if I am connecting to a 4G access point named Sprint? Maybe they just need to tune everything and the nests are stopping that. Who knows?

Anybody have any more specific information when 4g is dropping for Minneapolis?
I grazed across an online article that mentioned August 2010. I can't find it buried in my browser history and I'm not quite sure where they got the month from to begin with, so don't hold me to it and take it with a grain of salt. The general consensus is that it should be dropping IN 2010 though.
I've heard it's starting to pop up, but can't confirm, and when I leave 4G on in the Downtown area, all I get is disappointment and a dead battery. Doesn't help, but keeping my eye out.
I have heard at worst by end of 2010, and at best fall 2010. Here is hoping its fall 2010, also if anybody has gotten 4G in mpls let us know and where!
I have heard rumors of Brooklyn Park being a test area for the 4G roll out. I have yet to verify tho.
Anyone know?
-Midnigh7-
Live in Coon Rapids, work at the airport, I haven't picked up a signal anywhere inbetween
Why MPLS? Why not Saint Paul? We're the state capitol! Damn you Sprint!
througAugust. Directly from sprint rep.
There was a test i heard. It happened at the sprint store last week on launch day. Don't quote me on that. But the guy at sprint told me in august for sure. They got an email from corporate last Thursday. I asked them specifically because I didn't want to get the phone if 4g wasn't on the horizon.
a buddy of mine works for Sprint in corporate sales. The last he heard it was "by the time the leaves change".
There is (or at least was, I haven't checked myself) a 4g tower on the Holiday Inn in DT Mpls. He said they were testing the signal for about a mile radius around the hotel. If anyone checks it out let us know!
I will confirm this in a couple of hours will be right next to that building.
I have heard that it's starting now (including that tower in downtown MSP) and will be done by fall from a tower engineer on the project.
Cool, that's sooner than I thought. I guessed it would be around November / December.
FWIW, I got my Evo on launch day at the Minnetonka corporate store. I was told both September and summer. Also, the guy at the phone kiosk at SAMS in St Louis Park said July or August. I think no one knows for sure. I'm hoping for July.
I can confirm 4g in Minneapolis at south second st and south second ave near bobby and steves... the upload is at 1.3 and the download is at 3.87 megs it makes the qik app actually work.

One more confirmation for good measure. Almost couldn't believe it. I drove around the U area and had pretty good signal - strongest right outside of Carlson. My download peak was around 4 with a lower average and upload peak was about 1.5. I just hope when they say "Minneapolis" that they really mean downtown and the surrounding 'burbs (EP, pref. ).
Yeah I would assume they'd mean the whole 694 494 loop but who knows
I also live in Minneapolis area, and heard July-august for 4g.
Anyone from this area know when we might be getting it?

lol, we don't even get acceptable 3G in northern indy. According to a poster here (via Sprint), we will be getting a tower in Carmel, one in Westfield later this year.
When I bought mine the lady said she didn't expect 4g until probably next summer for us but that was just her guess. My 3g sucks as well down here around the beech grove/greenwood area.
I can second the 3G sucking in northern indianapolis...very very slow

The people at Sero told me 4th quarter 2010. This was just before the Evo was released.
I was getting around 250 - 600 kbps on the old radio.
I just updated the radio to the latest and now im getting around 700 - 2300 kbps in castleton area.
Its not super but its better then when I just bought the phone.

That was me that posted that. The sprint rep I talked to said one tower at the end of august (carmel) and one in december (westfield). I will say that I am buying a house in Broadripple and I get great speeds theres, anywhere from 1.1 mbps to 1.5 mbps
Indy isn't listed anywhere on Sprint's 2010 projected WiMax expansion, I would estimate Q2 2011 at the earliest. I just moved from Indy (BRip) to Denver (NW) and my areas are comparable for 3G speeds (1-1.75MB)
4g Indianapolis
Ok this is what I have heard and if anyone knows differently please do tell. Last month I talked to sprint when I was changing my plan and I asked about 4g. The rep told me that they were currently working on 4g in Indy and that it should be up and running by the end of 2010. she said that they would push notifications to customers when it went live. So I thought this was just hot air and I asked an IT guy at work if he knew anything because my company relies heavily on sprint. he said that the airport was to have 4g working by the end of Oct. A coworker with an Evo was in a sprint store several days ago and he said there were out of state technicians there working and when he struck up a conversation they told him they were working on the 4g connections by the airport, downtown Indy, Carmel and Fishers area which coincides with new tower locations on sprints website map for new towers in Indy. Has anyone heard anything? I mean it would only make since since all the big shing dings that come here.
I was just in the airport last week and didn't get 4g at all.
i get 1.3 Mb/600Kb in delphi indiana and surrounding areas, but the closer i get to a bigger city such as lafayette/west lafayette that speed is 1/3 to 1/2 of what i get in delphi.
i always thought this was strange.

Maybe they will just drop it all on us at once. I saw an app once and I cant remember the name but it runs in the background and it periodically checks for 4g, 3g and wifi hotspots. It will then show you on a layered map what signals are where but its dependent on people letting it run on their phones. Does anyone know the name for this?

Yes thats the app. I went to their website and you can see where its at in other places....Its crazy..Indiana looks so barren
My area was barren too, so I've been collecting/uploading data for a couple weeks now.
It's really cool to see your data processed and on the map very quickly.
The app is a huge battery hog...
Swyped from my Fresh EVO via XDA App
I lived there a couple years.
Trust me, it is called "Naptown", there won't be 4g until every other city gets it.
Ok so did anyone have trouble last week with texting or any data services? Did you contact sprint to find out why? Word from Sprint is that it was part of 4g implementation.....should be up and running within the next moth.
Noticed in the strip district, downtown and north side today that 4G is on in Pittsburgh. Was pulling 3.5-4 down, 1 up. Still limited deployment in the city but they must be getting ready for the full rollout.

I also heard rumors of 4g on in Monroeville... so suburbs on major roadways hopefully will get 4g. The farthest north that I noticed 4g active on 279 was the Hazlett/Venture exit.

I tried the 4g while driving through the city this morning and no go. I guess it was only on Saturday for testing. Will keep watching the 4g icon though.
4g was definitely on last week in Monroeville. Hopefully it will make its way around town including the South Hills!
While driving through downtown around 5pm, I was able to pick up 4G. However, it could never finish connecting. It would say scanning, connecting, authenticating, obtaining IP address, then flash something very quickly (perhaps "disconnected") before starting the cycle over. Not sure if it's an issue with my phone or just issues with the 4G since they're obviously still testing it.

I have not been able to connect to 4g downtown since Saturday. Was probably only on for testing. Though I do get signal alerts when driving through the city. I'll be giving it another try this weekend to see if the 4g is back on downtown. No idea about monroeville or turtle creek.
just in monroeville today for dinner. the duck pond there was signal. by the bmw dealer, by the mall, by target, on the parkway from penn hills exit to the monroeville exits(turnpike). i couldnt connect at all. my phone is rooted and been flashed many times so i thought my 4g was broke but my 2 kids and wife have the evo (UNTOUCHED) and they couldnt connect either so it must be not ready yet. heres to hoping it gets better tomorrow. lol
oh and forgot was in turtle creek today for kids dentist appointment and right by the citizens bank my phone picked up signal but couldnt connect

I spoke to a Sprint rep yesterday. She said that the appearance of the signal was a side effect of them testing the market, but she couldn't find anything on an anticipated rollout date yet. So she recommended to keep the 4G radio off for the time being, and to check back every now and again and watch the websites to see when it would be officially deployed. I was hoping it'd be deployed near this Froyo rollout, but apparently it's not to be.
By the Monroeville Mall again today, and i actually did pick up the 4 g signal. But like earlier stated it would connect to Sprint and then kick me out and start over. Good sign people, good sign!

Bro, I respect your opinion and knowledge. I used many of your roms in the diamond days. Where I work, we lease land to some tower companys, three of these are Sprints. The Sprint field techs I have spoke with have no knowledge of any immediate 4g upgrades, and no sign of any upcoming tower work has been present. No underground service alert markings, nada. Our companys own Sprint rep told us back in June, we would have 4g within two months. Nope. I will only believe the 4g hype when I see a man-lift sitting at one of those sites, and Sprint techs working on it. BTW, my local area is home to around a quarter of a million in SoCal.
Im just glad my town of 7000 at least has 3g. Im fine with that.

I'm not saying that it will or won't be everywhere by the end of the year -- I'm just telling you what Sprint is officially telling customers. If I were you, I would go to Sprint.com and ask a rep via chat yourself. That way, if/when it's not "everywhere" by the end of the month, you may have a valid argument for some sort of credit to your account.

This makes me rage so hard. Yakima and Tri-Cities have 4G but they skipped the entire Spokane region and refuse to give out any sort of date to expect coverage.
From time to time, I flip on my 4G in a very small hope that the small city of Rome, Georgia with a population of about 30,000 will get 4G within the next few years. Today, I was a Starbucks having coffee with a friend and talking about 4G and how long we think it will take for Verizon or AT&T to get their 4G here. I've already dismissed Sprint ever getting it here because Sprint just closed their only store in town a month ago. Verizon and AT&T are the main providers here. So, I was telling them that 4G has to be turned on within the settings of the phone and demonstrated how to turn it on. I put the phone down and picked it up a few minutes later after receiving a text and I had to cover my mouth to prevent the very loud "WTF?!?!?!" that came out of my mouth as I noticed the 4G connected symbol in the status bar! What on Earth is 4G doing in this little town? Of course, I got online to see if I could find Rome listed on Sprint or Clearwire. It wasn't on Sprint, but sure enough, it was now listed on Clearwire as having 4G. It isn't listed as the super fast 4G area like Atlanta, but 4G nonetheless. I am getting 6.1 Mbps with one bar at home. I'd like to know when this network went up. And if it will stay. Anyone know where I could find some info? I chatted with Clearwire to see if they could tell me when it was activated, but they couldn't tell me. I'm going to tell everyone about it now. We have 4G before a lot of major cities... I'm super stoked!

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Seems, even by what is stated in the Orlando Sentinel article, that the network was put into place just to "fill gaps" in the coverage as it was pretty pathetic before. I was just there on April 1st, and I wasn't seeing any difference there than I do at my house over closer to downtown. However, it is nice that they decided to build it out to support the capability...when our phones can actually use it is another story altogether.
I've got an Atrix and I get around 3Mbs down and around 300k up both at home and at the airport.
From what I've read, it seems that a phone update will be required to turn it on anyway...but if ATT can be believed, we might get to see it this month sometime.

That unfortunately doesn't exist. We can only hope to get it soon. I had one of the att reps back in december tell me that my signal had gone from good to absolute crap because orlando was a test market for 4G so one can only hope that a simple flip of the imaginary switch will give us 4G aka 3G+

There's signal issues at disney I think there might be some issue with att putting up towers on property. Similar to how the airport used to be but att pays MCO a decent amount to have put up the towers up

I don't know about you, but is anyone else a little surprised by how many Central Floridians there are posting in this thread? That means.... using an Atrix and knowing a thing or two about making it better! Pretty cool, I guess none of you "feel safe enough" or "like Orlando" enough to list your location on the profile to display with each post though! haha
I have orlando listed in my info, have since day one of joining this sight.....
And in regards to a 4G coverage map they dont realy exist.... I work for AT&T and do customer service in the call center by UCF and there is no info in regards to when the update will be released for the Atrix/Inspire .... Or what the coverage looks like
All I know when I check are network coverage tool and look at the towers in the downtown orlando area none of time are listed as HSPA..... They are all still reporting UMTS only, and there is no info about the backhaul or updates to the towers that I have checked...
Sitting in MCO as I post this. Have worked here for the last 4 years and will say that they have made vast improvements on the tower infrastructure here. Used to be that you would get no reception out at the 1-60 gates end of the airport. That's all fixed. Of course still getting the typical 3mbs down .3 up here so will see when ATT lets the update go. I sure it is a simple update that won't require me to go though what I did with the last. Not that the last was hard, just a pain....
