I work in downtown Miami, just turned on my 4G and it connected!
Averaging 3Mb down on the phone, not as fast as other areas but a lot faster than the 3G connection.
Just hope it stays on and gets better with time.
4G turns on, but it still shows I am on 3G. Where in Downtown are you?
Someone on here posted a while back that they were able to pick up 4G in downtowm Miami. Apparently, they are doing some beta testing of the soon-to-come 4G towers they have in place here or something. I work off of Flagler and Biscayne Blvd, and I haven't been able to pick up 4G; says "scanning" but never connects.
ort84: Is your phone rooted? My phone is and I've heard of some people's 4G not working right after certain rooting processes. I've never bothered to check if mine is working correctly since we don't have 4G here yet, but now I'm curious as to whether mine is messed up or not. Time to start digging through threads! lol
I'm running the stock 2.2 rooted yes.
I'm at nw 1st court, its actually considered overtown but considering how close it is to downtown its basically downtown area.
Just tried it and No 4G in Miramar... Ahhhh... Turned on but did not connect.
Well, I just checked and the WiMax MAC address on my phone matches the sticker behind my battery, so technically, my 4G should work if it is available. However, mine has been scanning for a good 15 minutes now and nothing. Lucky you, I guess. lol
Sweet!! No go in Doral, even though Im ridiculously close to the tower here on 97th n Fontainebleau

Just checked on Commercial and Broward to see... I'm inside a building and didn't pick anything up on my laptop nor my evo. On my home today I'll drive with the 4g turned on to see if I can pick anything up.
Nothing here @ work. I'm on Lincoln Road on South Beach
No 4G here in Broward (Dania Beach and Fort Lauderdale) yet...
Boca Raton
Aw, I'm in east Boca Raton, but no joy. Good to hear the towers are slowly trickling on!
Some area in miami with 4G?????????????
I thought to buy one but if the 4g is not working.
I was about to drive to the MIA man.... you cant be telliing people there is 4g in MIA.... you 4G teaser you....lol

Downtown has 4g but only the south side. From T-Mobile store all the way to brickell/start of us1. Bird road also has 4g but can't pinpoint where it starts and ends.

****UPDATE****
I'm gabbing 1 or no bar of 4G at my home next to the courthouse on the dolphin.
So far I'm impressed with the speed. Can't wait to see it improve!
Second test
Was downtown by the courthouse today and had 4 bars 4g, 4mbps download, solid connection, no drops, first time i've actually connected to 4g and had it work. Was around 13th Terrace and N. River Drive if anyone wants to check it out!

saw 4G in Germantown and Gaithersburg
I was in DC last week and had 4g coverage (it was spotty). The best coverage was at Nationals Park.

I get 4G outside my job in Greenbelt. Don't have anything at home in Clinton though.
Yea I think they just testing it out
I have actually picked up full 4g signal all around the beltway. Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda, Laurel, College Park, Bowie, NW Washington. Randallstown, Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
Since I got my phone June 4th I have had 4G in Loudoun County (Northern VA) about 30mins outside of DC (next to Dulles Airport).
I am now getting 4G in some parts of McLean, Tysons Corner and Arlington. Haven't seen amazing speeds yet (around 2000kbps compared to a max of 1500kbps or so that I've managed to get under 3G).
Did they turn something on though? I previously wasn't able to get 4G at all in some of these areas.
I was able to connect to 4G in Greenbelt (close to the Sprint store) but it was spotty. Also was connected driving on University Blvd by Langley Park. Noticed 4G coverage in Bethesda as well, but couldn't connect or stay connected long enough to actually use it.
I just got my first 4G signal in Falls Church, in my back yard no less. Signal quality: poor, several 404s on sites that should have been there, but no time for extensive testing right now.
I also get 3 bars in Severn area, Hanover\odenton 1-2 bars

congrats to u guys when u get 4G! let me know how it is!
Got full signal in arlington.
3 bar @ gaithersburg. 3.5mb/s down and 1mb/s up.
No 4G in North Bethesda, no 4G downtown, no 4G in Metro.
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.

NICE...i wonder how far north when 4g is fully deployed that it will work. I really doubt it will reach all the way up to the Wexford or Cranberry

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 live just outside of the city in Sharpsburg and I have 4g turned on now and not getting any signal.

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'm getting the same here. It keeps finding a signal, but can't do anything with it. In any case, it's exciting.

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
Good info guys. Well lets hope turn the switch on everywhere in August.
Sounds good, I wizards at BestBuy today by the mall, but didn't think to try. Well 2morrows a new day!

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!

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.

Agreed. I'd like to see 4G there and service the nearby Fort Gordon area.

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.
3g seemed to be working quite well, did some speedtests and I'm getting 1.5meg down and .5meg up. For curiousity sake I turned on the 4g radio and connected.
So Walla Walla now has 4g service! Can't get it in my house, but if I walk out the front door it connects lol. I barely connect to it, doesn't show any bars, but it pulls down about 3megs.
Thanks sprint! 1yr of premium data, and I can finally use it!
I want it in Michigan
They must have came through here and done the network vision, my 3g was always 200-400k. 4G I figured we'd be the last to get. But browsing on 3g, etc... seems close to my wifi. Now if I could just grab a 4g signal inside lol
You can check coverage at clear.com/coverage for better maps.
You guys live in Michigan too LOL small world, I live in Dearborn. Lucky me I have tmobile

Can't wait til they get it in Jackson Michigan
WiMAX lit up in my city also, La Crosse, WI.
We'll see what happens in the AM but right now my 3g is down to 500k, 4g is still around 2meg though.
164k down and 250k up. :|
136kbps down and 201kbps up, so still not fixed for me. Even though Sprint said my towers were going to be fixed by May 1.

We have it some places in and around Detroit. Go to clear's site and look at the coverage maps. 4g is available in a lot of places where it is not yet being advertised as being available.
Back up to 1 meg on 3g, so far so good.
still crap speeds here no eta on a fix
Still pulling 80kb down and 338kb up here in Dallas. I don't even bother with 4G, it never connects. So incredibly frustrating.
They need to fix their towers in South Florida.
No fix here.. I did receive an email that there is now 4G in my area.. thats a load of crap.. as I can still only get ONE bar if any in my area, which I could do since the first day I got the phone...
screw u all lol the most ive ever gotten is 110 down and 60ish up
thats after i changed the host file to all 0's
So I work for sprint, in a corporate full service store in Albuquerque, NM. I have been having customers come in to my store for the last few months telling me they have been getting 4G. I normally just nod my head, tell them "thats cool" and send them on their way. Our city took a long time to get 3G, so the thought that we are getting 4G (when it hasnt even been announced in any new markets in quite a while) is ridiculous.
A week ago, to experiment, I turned 4G on at my house to see what would happen. "4G connected" popped up in my toolbar. A signal strength-o-meter notified me I had 2 bars of 4G service. I still remained skeptical, quite certain Ashton Kutcher was going to pop out and notify me I was punk'd. I downloaded speedtest, and lo and behold, I am clocking 5+mbps in my house. Needless to say, I am very pleasantly shocked. No where is there any documentation that my city should have 4G.... But, I got it.
Lesson of the story: Fire up that 4G radio every once in a while, you never know what might show up!
According to Clear's coverage map, downtown Detroit has 4G. I was able to connect to it once, but never again after that.

That happened to me last year here in Boston, MA. I had good 4G server but one day it just vannished. After several months they restablished connection and now its even faster than before.
I've worked in the past rolling out GSM antennas an I know how th radio department thinks; its a tough job to make sure the right desicion is taken in every city and every location within, patience is the key.

There's this one very specific spot in my shop (warren, mi) that I get 4g. Might be one bar but got it there. Move the phone from the little spot and ill drop the signal. Can't get it outside of the shop or anything. Just that one spot. Very weird lol.

Don't just look at sprint's coverage map, also look at Clear's, they even have an app for android called "Got Clear?" that helps you find 4G pockets. As for 4G in maricopa valley... still absolutely nothing except for PARTS of mesa and PARTS of Scottsdale... its messed up.
You are lucky to be in coverae of a spectrum protection site. Check out clear.com or sensorly.com maps.

IT's a conspiracy to get more people to text and drive and die texting so they can control population and then control our minds by limiting our range of service.
my town is supposed to have 4g but i've only ever gotten it to connect on this 1 road and it disconnects after a minute. :[
