So far my vibrant is still pretty fast when i dont have any 3g bars. one thing i noticed is that the market & twodryd app is kinda trippy Any Bay Area heads having similar issues?

I live and work in SF and I've yet to see my Evo kick into 4G.
What buildings, intersections, etc have you seen 4G coverage?
4G has not been launched in San Francisco. Go to Sprint.com/4G. We will be getting it before the end of the year.

There are spots of 4g, but the only area I know for a fact is in the south bay...
http://developer.clear.com/innovation
You can see an overview map there, and if you click the city names lower, you get a much higher quality map. I latched onto a 4G network while driving but... was driving so I couldn't test it.
South Bay, Santa Clara, some of SJC down town.
Just pockets of 4g. i guess they are building it these days.
4g in Fremont
I get 4g coverage here in Fremont. Weak (1 bar) signal, but consistent. 7.81 down/.65 up speeds according to speetest.net
I'm at&t user right now and considering to buy htc evo 4g with sprint.
All of my friends are using either at&t or verizon so I don't have any idea about sprint.
Is sprint 3g coverage in columbus ohio good enough to use?
Thanks for any advice.
on the sprint official website they have a coverage map.
When I went to Easton, the 3G works just fine. It works well in the Lancaster area also.
I seen somewhere that Columbus / Cincinnati are suppose to get 4G this year..
nice i'm in cincinnati oh
Cinci and Cleveland are first in Ohio, sprint.com/4g for more info.... good to know I'll have 4G when I come back to see the family.

I live in Licking County and for the most part coverage is very good. I get a couple bad spots when driving across the county...
I work in Columbus and get very good service but it can get spotty when inside buildings when in downtown Columbus. The weird thing is I'll be standing next to someone with at&t or verizon and their service is good.... I'm starting to think sprints signal is weaker and has trouble penetrating buildings bc of this! It happens to me all the time bc I'm downtown ALOT. Once outside of the buildings, my Sprint service is great and pretty decent 3G speeds.
I live in Columbus (westerville) and got an HTC HERO for my wife and used it for a few days, no coverage problems thoughout the easton(ish) area and also drive up past marysville on 33 and no problems on the drive.
I have since given her HERO up and am awaiting the EVO
To the poster above me: what sprint phone are you currently on and what phones were the other people using? You would be surprised on how much difference a phone can make in reception, not just the network
Im also near the cincinnati area in butler county ohio. Ive been wondering how far the 4g coverage would extend. In between cincinnati and dayton. ?? Any ideas?

I have seen near the same results from the samsung instinct to my current Palm Pre. With me Pre getting a little better signal than the instinct.
When noticing the differences with Sprint coverage versus at&t & the iphone 3G and the Droid on Verizon. I have noticed them getting much stronger signals indoors downtown columbus in a few different locations.
It kinda rubs me the wrong way but with the difference in $$$, I get over it b/c indoors in downtown columbus is my worst spot....I've already contacted Sprint about each location and they've marked it for a ticket and will research it.
I get 4g in Some in that area!! its fast!!!!!!!!! in L.A. yeaaaaaaaah! Anyone else see 4G in L.A. or in any area similar?
Los Angeles doesn't have 4G, you must have picked up signal from a Sprint booth demo antenna or something.
yes i am completely aware of that... Trust me... but there is a large part of downtown area that has it. I walked all the way from the convention center to the regal cinema and still had full 4g.
yea.. someone on android central said he gets 4g in his office downtown which is located on olive and 7th. and someone else stated that he gets 4g in culver city somewhere
no freaken way! thats nuts too bad im in irvine :/
Yes L.A. has been testing since the middle of may I posted on ppc earlier about picking up 4g in culver there is also coverage in north o.c.
cant post pics apparently.
i work at the 11th floor on 19th and G in NW(2 blocks from white house) and my 4g is non-existent. I pray that its just some cruel joke. I was getting better 4g at my house which is about 9 miles outside the city in Alexandria.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Its a new tech that has pretty much just started roll out. Its not going to be available perfectly everywhere.
Remember when 3g came out and it was spotty as hell? Some areas had great coverage others not so great. It takes time.
I mean...of course. I was just hoping that i would get it some where at here, being they said "core areas of DC" Theres not much more "core" than this.
I just wanted to know if other people around here were too.
I have noticed that 4G has issues getting inside buildings. But it seems like a large portion of DC and Northern VA has 4G.
i was just outside in full 4g and got 864kb down and 1021kb up
I live in Campbell and been getting at least 1 bar of 4G consistently. Not a good signal but at least I'm getting something. Getting full 4G coverage in Cupertino and Santa Clara. My friend's a store manager at Sprint and told me they're launching 4G officially in October. Hope this is a good news for some of you. Thought I should share.

There's no way they're launching in San Francisco by next month. There's no signal anywhere even for testing. Maybe the san jose market will launch next month but san francisco will definitely take a while to launch.
Because, I'm pretty sure, all 4G launches are preceded by at least some sort of test signals... Which we have nothing in SF.

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully they will. It would be silly for Sprint if they don't launch it in frisco considering the huge market.

Yeah, I work a lot in Palo Alto, and the whole downtown has the Clear Innovation network live, and there is some decent speeds. The other day while going on 101 South near Capitol Expwy exit in San Jose, I got over 7mbps in my car, while driving. That was epic.

wow that's awesome! i live a mile away from that area, i'm going to have to test it out. where i work near 101 and lawrence i can get 3.8-4.5 depending on if i have 1 or 2 bars.
I have managed to get 8Mbps in downtown San Jose. Covers the area past the Pavillion and up to the airport. Downtown has the best speeds though.
Just last weekend i got ~9Mbps near Walmart, Mountain View. Haven't got any 4G signal in palo alto area.

i'm probably being too optimistic, but i hope there's a signal inside the arena! sharks season coming up soon, so i'll be in there before long.
