ASK ME: Los Angeles / Orange County On Air Dates

Hey if anyone wants to know I can help out with on-air dates for 4G sites in Los Angeles and Orange County. Just give me town and cross-street and I will post periodically with the on-air dates for that area. Most of this area will be covered by Dec. 2010 but many sites are coming up early.
I can't say how I know this but let's just say that this is the most accurate information that Clearwire/Sprint can provide.

Orange County:
Cities: Aliso Viejo and Irvine
Cross Streets: Doesn't really matter just curious for the area.
If it is required:
Alton Pkwy and Irvine Ctr Dr. (Irvine)
Aliso Creek and Pacific Park (Aliso Viejo)

is it coming to suburb areas like the San Fernando Valley?

Hello secret agent! Los Angeles/Silverlake (town). Sunset and Santa Monica junction(cross street). Thanks for any info! Been waiting patiently for 4G in LA.
Sent from my EVO from the Apple Store.

City: Woodland Hills
Cross Streets: De Soto and Oxnard
I'd also like to know when the general San Fernando Valley will be live if you can provide a rough date.

Azusa, San Gabriel and Pasadena areas please

What about Long Beach? Cross streets: Spring and Palo Verde

Any idea on Corona, CA?

Inland Empire - Ontario - Pomona - Riverside

How about the Sacramento area? We need some 4G lovin' too before Verizon bumps in with LTE!

If Verizon throws out its LTE and T-Mobile its HSPA+ before Sprint gets its 4G out in major cities we got a real problem and Sprint f-ed up.

Spotted 4g in miramar do

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

So Miramar as in California? I am not following the reference of "do"

when I read "do" I heard it as urban slang for "dude"
In context:
"wassup my ninja, we gotsus som fo gees up in tha heezy do!"

4 gizzle in my shizzle fo rizzle holmes.

What ??
Where in Miramar?? I am just a couple of miles down the road.....
I guess I'll be driving back and forth in Mira Mesa tonight...
Danny

Miramar, FL ?

lol, yeah I am on base in miramar... as in San Diego CA do.
Did I use that in the right context?? lol

Any updates on 4g in San Diego?

When I purchased my EVO I was told by the sales guy that San Diego is slated to get 4G in December even though it isn't announced yet. Of course this could be total BS.

Used car salesman
The salesman I bout my used '08 Honda Civic from assured me that the previous owner was a little old lady that only drove the car to church and back on Sundays.
Shortly after buying the vehicle, I've had to replace the tranny and have had the engine rebuilt.

I'm in Miramar, FL and there have been reports of 4G all around town.
In November there is a Sprint 4G 'event' at the Hard Rock Hotel.

What's up with the "do"?

oceanside in the pipeline
I recently saw a posted notice for a permit application to install a 4g tower at oceanside blvd and pch for Clearwire. I'm assuming Sprint customers would have access to Clear towers as Sprint is a major shareholder and the company was started by the guy who started Nextel, so there is definitely some corporate incest going on here. Go to clear.com for more info on their plans for expansion for more insight. My guess is within a year or so do
*Sent from a Droid that's way cooler than yours.

I live and work in central Orange County (CA) and I haven't found many places around here where I can't get a 4G signal. I don't leave 4G on by default, though, because the signal is still inconsistent enough to have a negative impact on my battery life. That, and the 3G network is fast enough for my typical data use.
But it sure is nice to have 4G when I need it.
Pete

Well, no 4g in imperial beach. Of course I wasn't expecting it...

To bad 4G cant reach to southern OC, only to Irvine isnt far enough.
I havent heard it being announced for San Diego yet so its weird the sales rep would say that. Even check Clear's website, SD isnt listed as a future city.
Got to hope for the best tho

4G in South Bay

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.
sent from my EVO

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

4G Speeds

Someone asked about 4G speeds over the weekend. I could't find the thread, so I'll post them up here.
I live on the south side of Kansas City and at my house I pull between 3 and 5.5 Meg down pretty consistently.
At my dentist's office today I pulled between 2 and 3.5 on several attempts.
My upload speeds have been consistently between 850k and 1.5 Meg.
I'm looking forward to testing at my buddies house. We were able to obtain dl's over 8 last time I was there messing with his Evo.

when i'm in Boston i average 10mbps on my Evo, next time i go i'll have my Shift and will be able to compare the two

Very cool. I plan on doing a side by side with his Evo.

i got 7000kbps down and 1100kbps up today up here in minnesota the chicago speedtest server is the fastest i've come across. great ping times.

I got 9.5Mbps upload in Rochester. Very impressive.

Anyone in Nashville? I travel there sometimes.

Rochester, NY or Rochester, MN?

Did a couple of test today. 5500 kbps at one point this morning. 9500ish around noon. 1000-1100 kbps up.
These were in LA.

This morning I got 5500 kbps down and 1100 up in Alexandria VA.

I would say that's in NY. I'm pretty certain there's no 4G in Rochester, MN.
I'm heading up to the Twin Cities tomorrow, so I'll have to try out the 4G and see what kind of speeds I get

I hit 10.28 dl and .99 ul in Orange County today with full 4G bars.

+1. Sprinkle some of that 4G over Northern San Diego/La Jolla too. UCSD needs some 4G lovin (;

Guys, check out the Map Viewer app for an unofficial coverage map. Works great!
I found this great Android app '4G,CDMA,GSM & WiFi Map Viewer' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.sensorly.viewer
Shifted from my Evo using XDA app.

Western Chicago Suburbs here (Higgins corridor and north of Elgin on Fox River).
I drove around last weekend and monitored the 4G.
I'm mostly seeing 3-5 M upload and .5-1.5 M uploads (early Saturday morning)
Closer to noon I saw rates drop to 1-3 M uploads. I was driving in some pretty out of the way places and saw fairly good 4G coverage.
I was on I290 the other day and got one hit at 12 Mega (!). Just saw it once
and have not been able to re-create it.
My guess is the closer to Chicago you get, the higher rates you'll get.
Anybody have an idea if Sprint is reducing bandwidth when their network gets busy?
I've got the sensorly app, one of the better ones.
I'm hoping "Open Signal Maps" gets their act together because it is actually
trying to locate the towers on a central map.
Somehow I've managed to buy a house right in the middle of a group of towers
so that I only get 1 bar of 4G upstairs (3G only downstairs). Once I get on the road
I get good 4G coverage (2-4 bars)

4G speeds in shawnee ks suck but they are better than the 3 G ones lol

I usually see speeds between 6-8meg up in Cleveland. I use the Chicago server to test with.

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.
Sent from my Evo powered by MIUI

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.
