4G in Socal! - EVO 4G General

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.

Not particularly spectacular, but the high speeds and faster phone makes it way faster than my iPhone 3G.

The signal strength is really just your strength to the tower, not your connection to the internet, just FYI I have had higher speeds with 1-2 bars than with a full signal. Anyway there are some spots in Houston, TX near where I work that I can get ~8-10Mbps down on, but I usually average about half that. Here are some pics, also btw a download test is a bit more accurate than those "speed tests" they can lie to you sometimes.

Yup. Northern VA, Richmond, Hampton Roads >>>> Colorado . We don't have any 4G here in Hampton Roads that I know of yet (no Evo til Monday), but there is a new Clearwire antenna/tower near my girlfriends house. I hope there are many more of those to come and soon.
I want them to put one in in Springfield. That's where my office is and 4G would be awesome!

Apparently there are two antennas live in downtown Denver and others aren't live but have been spotted (including on the Sprint call center in the tech center) so its coming here too very shortly.

That's good to hear. I wish Sprint would give us a real roadmap of their 4G rollout. There's no point in hiding it when people know the towers are there and are getting 4G signals.

I have been able to get WiMAX in Manassas on 234 near the Barnes and Noble. Also, just up the road in Centreville at 66 & 28. Good thing too because in both or those areas the 3G service is terrible. This is one main reason holding me back from upgrading to the Evo LTE or the Galaxy SIII since I will no longer have 4G.

4G currently live in areas of Jersey City, NJ!

I was just standing outside of the Exchange Place PATH station in Jersey City, NJ, and had 2 bars of 4G signal. I didn't do a speed test, but loaded up a few image heavy webpages. They loaded crazy fast.
Anybody else in the area should give it a go. It was a welcome surprise for me, as I work in the area every day.
EDIT:
Just ran a speed test.

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.

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.

Not only am I getting 393.9 kB/s down from the Wichita, KS speedtest server (strangely the SF server only gets 180.6 kB/s down), but I can WiFi tether using 4G, I though that was restricted?!?! Sweet!!!!

Was on O'Farrell and Grant (Market & 4th), got 4.4mbps, 600kbps.
I was passing by the baybridge and 101 connector and tested 4g with full signal and got 6.5Mbps down and 2Mbps up. Not too bad. But when I get closer to Octavia and Fell, signal dropped to 1 bar.
weird; I had a signal two days ago, but haven't had it since..

Hyde and Eddy - No go. The Netarchy map says I'm less than a block away from a signal, but I don't see it.
If Clear builds out from currently operative spots, I'll see some signal sometime around... 2027.
We also have across the bay in Hayward. More coverage toward the hills @ on CSU Hayward. At School I was getting 8900kbps down and 1200kbps up. Fast as hell. I believe they have many towers near college campuses, as my friend get full 4g bars at San Jose State as well.

its still a crapshoot in northern KY, closer to the river or airport the better it seems, no signal at my house in independence, but I got a poor to weak signal at the Target in florence last night at work., but at least I know it works on my phone.
Keep in mind for the Cleveland network, we will be continually adding towers through April 2011. The coverage map on sprint.com will be updated every 15 days to reflect the changes

Weird. I was in DC end of Sept through mid October and 4g was up and running fine.
Dam I'm only 1 mile from a freakin spot of 4G that's in the wilderness park in south OC. Otherwise I would have to commute 10 miles to get more stable 4G, O well hope they build more towers soon for the rest of Orange county.

Is it just me or I could care less. 4G is unusable IMHO. The battery drain isn't worth the extra bandwidth. T-Mo's HSDPA is the direction every wireless carrier should be looking at.
still no memphis.
wtf
Maybe Omaha?
For about the last week or two service has been almost nonexistent when I use the phone at my house and it was because Sprint said they were updating their towers. I have lived in the same place for 6 years and have never had an issue like this. Has anyone in a 4G city noticed this happening shortly before it gets launched or am I just reading too much into it unfortunately?
