4G in Socal!

Ok, Socal is huge. We know it has been located in Costa Mesa, OC, & Westwood.
It's now in the SFV, Canoga Park.
Sprint's site indicates a 'future tower' around Chatsworth by the 118, maybe it's active now.

first of all the image i get is a speedtest app screen capture.,
second of all, scrpints coverage map shows "furure sprint 3g network tower" so im not sure where you are getting a 4g tower from.

waterboy, it's true...I get 4g in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, West Covina and Pomona......

They are definitely testing out 4G in the area. I've had signal in Irvine close to John Wayne Airport, in Anaheim near the 91 between 57 and 55 freeways, and in Los Angeles near the federal building. So yea, its coming.

i hit enter too soon.
i know that there is 4g up in other places i have gotten it in Burbank and around Staples center downtown.
I was in Chatsworth yesterday and there was no 4g yet.
also, is it safe to assume that any future tower is 4g compatible? or was OP looking at a different map.

I'm no expert with cell towers, but I made an assumption that they are probably backwards compatible. The 3G coverage in that area is sufficient to say the least, so another inclination to question them putting in another 3G tower and not 4G.
The screen cap shows the 4G signal and a speedtest show bandwidth speeds. Was that so confusing?

got some in santa ana!!
sent from my baby. . . the evo 4-gees

West side of garden grove is coming on line also. Can't wait cause my evo will be here in a couple days. Giggity!!!

Ah, ya I was a little confused by that routing as well. Picked TX for some reason im unsure of.

I think Sprint is rolling them out in SoCal for sure... it used to be I can only get spotty coverage in downtown, now it's improved and in San Gabriel Valley area, they rolled them out as well. The furtherest WiMax coverage around SGV I noticed is as far as 19/Valley.
However I just don't see any signal on Huntington...

Monrovia/Arcadia area I can connect to the tower but when trying to load any data it just kicks me back to 3G. Hopefully they activate them soon.

Jees, 10mb down.. that's twice as fast as my home internet.

I got a full 4G signal driving from Oakland to Hayward on the 880 last week. I think it's been there for a while, but since I live in SF, it doesn't really help me much.

yeah, if you check out the map of 4g coverage youll see that the bay is pretty well covered along the major highways (880 and 101) on both sides of the bay. As far as fremont goes we have it inside the city in pockets, mostly near offramps of 880. So its coming, but its neither strong nor complete as far as coverage here in fremont goes.
And as far as where the map is, i forget. Google sprint 4g map or some such im sure youll be able to find it.

I get pretty solid 4G in downtown mountain view, and in Santa Clara it's pretty good... I have to step outside to get it at home, though.
I'm just hoping that this is the initial phase, and by the time 4g is official the coverage will be a lot more complete.

I get it in Mt. View and Walnut Creek.

supposedly there is 4G in Union Square, but that's it so far.

This is not true. I have scoured our great city for any lapse of 4G and so far, there is nothing. Sensorly agrees.

yeah tell me about it. isn't SF on the list for the end of this year with regards to 4G availability?

i work in sunnyvale, just off of 101 and lawrence, and i catch between 1-3 bars of 4G. it could be the signal that seemingly travels up and down 101, as i'm only 1/4 mile away from the highway, if that.

4G in Toledo

4G is now in Toledo! Hopefully soon they expand to the surrounding suburbs.

Excellent glad to hear it, welcome to 4G.

I live in Clyde, about 40 mins away. I am pumped to try this out. Where exactly in Toledo have you experienced this? I know that in Columbus, 4g was only available near Polaris. I really hope 4g makes it way east to me, even if it does suck my battery more than one of those pale, glittery vampires from Twilight.

Ok, where is a cool place in the 4g coverage area I can go to hang out for a while and test the 4g on my phone? I'm SE Michigan and Toledo is the closest I have to a place with 4g, and I am starting to become obsessed with testing it out
Looking for something off 75 before the 475 interchange where I can occupy myself for a couple hours to test it out

4g in Youngstown Ohio
4g is now live in Youngstown Ohio. Anybody else notice?

Its live in downtown I believe. Check clearwire's map tho to be sure. Watch a Walleyes game or go to the restaurants that aren't closed yet on the docks.

Im originally from toledo and coverage actually looks spotty downtown by the water. If I were you id start at westfield shopping town off 475/talmadge even if the map doesn't show it there, and proceed with caution as you travel toward downtown on monroe, maybe try again near westgate mall ( best buy monroe/secor or sears or home depot by central/secor) but lock your doors if you end up near monroe and detroit

I currently live in West Toledo (Monroe/Douglas area) and I'm not able to get a 4G connection. I work downtown, so I will try when I go into the office tomorrow.

Actually just south of homewood and hillcrest is willys park which might be best for you, right off I-75 and wide open area in the center of coverage, and a safe area compared to a lot of the coverage area.
Or, maybe the toledo hospital in case you get shot (kidding).
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

If I remember correctly its all based around the new arenas which would be smart.
Edit: Looking at the map right now, it seems that spans from Dorr Street to as far north as Eleanor but coverage is sparse. It does seem to be around the new arenas though Right around Michigan Street and Erie Street. Most of Bancroft and Monroe is covered downtown. As is Detroit. Maybe I'll have to flash over to CM 6.2.1 Alpha and test it out when I go to another Walleye game.
Edit 2: Looks like only the Huntington Center is covered. Fifth Third is just out of range. At least thats what the map says.

I was able to pick up the signal on my commute to work going 475 east to 75 south. I connected to Sprint's 4G somewhere between the Detroit Ave exit and the Collingwood exit, with 1 or 2 bars as I headed downtown. Once downtown on Washington Ave, my signal fluctuated between 0 and 1 bar, and was basically lost once I got to Summit St.

I can confirm 4g in Toledo. I work near Dura and N. Detroit Ave and got 4g Connection.

Where are you guys getting the map from? Sprints site?
I live near Central/Douglas, and no 4g here yet. I'm surprised its working downtown, as Toledo wasn't supposed to get it til late this year. Maybe they are just testing it.

Check the clear.com coverage map since that is the same as sprint wimax. You might have to zoom in to the right level and wait for the green transparent overlay to load.

I cannot believe that Sprint puts 4G service in a run down town like Toledo and Phoenix still hasn't had 4G turned on yet.

I was also wondering what map you were looking at, thanks for that. I went ahead and downloaded their "Got Clear?" App from the market.
There's a wider range than I anticipated. Of course my house is just out of range, but what I experienced this morning on my way into the office seems to correspond with the map coverage.

GA users...4g?

I'm in warner Robinson (mid ga) and appear to have 4g now. Speed test is around 5mbps but doesn't seem faster. Weird. Can anyone confirm this?

I'd like to know about this, I'm not in that area but will be soon!

http://clear.com/coverage
Looks like your in the testing phase and they are starting to roll out. Enjoy!

Yeah, it doesn't look like it's perfected yet in my area...in Atlanta 4g is amazing. Still sketchy even though I'm connected and getting upwards of 3mbps, it doesn't seem completely stable yet. Great news for us though. Hopefully testing will roll into "getting **** done" lol
Sent from my Fresh EVO

usually once the dark green gets on the map its 'official' and you will be able to actually connect indoors

This actually pisses me off somewhat. Looking at the map theyre installing in Macon, Warner Robins and LaGrange. LaGrange has a population of what, 50K? But they cant fill in the million gaps in coverage in Atlanta???

I agree. Atl is hit or miss with 4g coverage. Some spots, I've hit 11 mbs though. Inside its another story.

I'm just dumbfounded that Augusta doesn't have Sprint 4G yet. Hell, we just finally got T-Mobile HSPA+.

I was actually at the sprint store off of Russell Parkway this weekend getting my wife a new phone and asked about 4g. Like most people have said, they are definitely in a test phase right now, with no official announcement. The lady i talked to did say some areas have 4g coverage. I turn on my EVO's 4g in the store and got 7mbs download speed versus 1mb 3g. Unfortunately i'm never on that side of town and I don't get coverage at my house south by HWY96.

I get pretty descent 4g speeds down in Henry Co. On average of 6-8mbps. I was a little surprised 4G worked at my house but it does..

Yeah I can see that, like I said it works at my house but once I leave it tends to get a bit spotty. I rarely use 4G at my house even though it works, I like my Wifi much better.

Same for me in Canton. My phone will show I'm connected but its basically unusable. Go a mile down the road to Riverstone and get 8 Mbps.

I live in Woodstock and never turn on 4G. Its not worth it. half the time it is searching for a signal.

damn, i keep trying to get 4g different places and haven't had any luck since being at the sprint store...

Its also around the sandy run and moody road area. Also around Macon GA. I caught it near vineville and hardeman area recently.

I'm in Canton as well. I only get 4g on 575 starting at exit 11 going south but it's hit or miss like everyone else.

That marks 3 cities that have 4g before Detroit.

I dont think portage has it yet, I'll check downtown later. What area of kalamazoo are you in?

Good to hear about Kzoo. Detroit does not "officially" have 4g either. It works around Wayne State University, and that is about it. They seem to be testing it around the city, but it is far from consistent.

When people say Detroit they are generally speaking of the suburbs.
Since no one practically lives in the city anymore.
As far as your crime comment please point me in the direction of the part of my post that talked about crime.
Here was the point of my post :
It is a FACT that most of the city of Detroit is empty.
People have moved to the burbs and that's all there is to it.
Windsor isn't even in the U.S. and the other cities I mentioned aren't any better off than Detroit ...so why waste your time and START in an empty area??

O.O

A number that is likely still an overestimate, a good majority of those people likely don't even have cell phones.
I can't find any kind of breakdown unfortunately though.
At any rate, the point is this, they are rolling it out in areas that are largely empty.
There's been estimates that 40% of Detroit's city limits are empty for god sake.

Please do not bring race into this.
This has nothing to do with race.
All I'm saying is...why bother STARTING in an area that's generally vacant?
Seems to me, especially in Sprint's position, they want to service as many PEOPLE as possible, not just area.

If you have a problem with detroit then maybe you should move so that you don't have to live next to us. As far as the empty land goes we're starting a reverse annexing plan. Soon those empty areas will be a part of oakland and macomb countries.
