Have you run speedtests?

Still not getting any 4G in East Elmhurst/ Jackson Heights area

No 4G in Brooklyn

I was in Manhattan this eve and it was working when I posted this thread. I am in east elmhurst now and its not working I had 3 bars on queens boro bridge. I'll try again today when I goto Manhattan.
I think they had it on at night for testing purpose. YouTube was loading in a snap.

nothing at 38th and 5th in manhattan

Nothing at Exchange Place in Jersey City (same towers as downtown Manhattan).

Nothing here
No 4g on 12th and broadway.

Here is the proof. Today!

If you want to know when 4g will be in your area just check with Clear Wireless. Their high speed wireless is bought from sprint wimax according to the Sprint near me in Philadelphia.

How come no one else is picking it up just confirmed it works on queens blvd until bqe.

4G in Miami!

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!

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.

are you serious.... is it up and running right now....

****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!

[Q] How do you troubleshoot a broken 4G radio?

Anyone getting 4G in San Francisco? I can't connect in North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, or SOMA. I also tried unsuccessfully to connect in Richmond, San Mateo, and Mountain View.
I definitely have coverage per Sprint's 4G map:

Yupperrs .. jus tested it today @ union square & it flies!! It's also in Oakland & Emeryville, but not in Richmond yet. Which sux bcuz I live out that way.. You can check Sprint's website and they have a map of the coverage areas in the bay area.

If you have 4G coverage in SF, can you confirm the neighborhood that you are getting 4G coverage in?

OK, according to the map, there is definitely 4G coverage in North Beach. How do I troubleshoot my phone if I can't get 4G to connect?

I get coverage at my work on Geary off Union Square. 5mb down and 1.5 up on average.

maybe its broken
sounds like ur 4g is broken

There is an app on the market called 4G,CDMA,GSM & WiFi Map Viewer (just search 4G Map), and it'll provide you with a user created map overlay showing all the 4g towers/3g towers for every carrier etc.

I got 4G while in Emeryville, Oakland, and coming into SF on the 580. Didn't get a chance to use it very much though!

So if I suspect that my 4g is "broken", how do I troubleshoot this?

Flash back to stock and go from there.

I'm more curious to know if there are debug options that I can turn on so I can see some diagnostics in adb logcat.

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

Lol, well if you ever come visit us in detroit, lock your doors.... anywhere actually! lol
Thanks though

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

[Q] 4G Available In Your Area?

Because I've been noticing that 4G is popping up in different areas without any sort of notification, I was thinking that we could all post here of areas that have 4G but have not been announced to the public.
I've noticed 4G in Norfolk VA in the Ghent area, and near Portsmouth Naval Hospital for starters.

Check http://www.clear.com/coverage for where 4G (WiMAX) access is available. It's not always publicised when new sites are implemented, but they will show up on the map.

I checked that map, it looks pretty good, but I'm not really sure, it is showing areas that should be active 4g locations, but I'm getting nothing in those areas... So really I guess what I was trying to get out of this thread was a place that people can post known active 4g (well at lest known to the poster) locations to help others know if 4g is active near them. A map is nice, but we all know that those mappings can definitely be off.

Understood, the coverage is spotty.

Works pretty good here in Jacksonville,Fl. Pretty big city so it is spotty in some areas though :/
Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium

Theres coverage here in Green Bay Wisconsin where i live granted it is very spotty theres still hope!

There is coverage here in Gurnee Illinois but its very spotty. It's funny the clearwire and sprint coverage map shows 4G in/near my house, but I can't connect to it until I drive around 5-6 Blocks then it pops up but soon as you go further down the street its gone.

Ive gotten pretty good coverage here in burbank, ca for about a year. Also had decent coverage when i visited sacramento.

I'm supposed to have 4g at my house in Columbus Ohio according to the maps but I take my Evo outside and guess what no 4g even standing in the middle of my street.

yeah just check clear.com maps. They seem to be updated weekly. The plan is for a bunch of single towers in towns to show the FCC they are using their licenses.
The maps are geared towards the clear devices that have better antennas than the ones crammed into our handsets.

I've had excellent 4g coverage here in Vegas/Henderson for as long as I've had my Evo. I love it

I will be visiting the Lakewood NJ area keenly this weekend, does anyone know if 4g is up in that area?
Swyped from my CM-CeEvO

I received that sprint premier email recently and it said 4g was in my area, sure enough it was NOT! I called sprint and the guy just kept telling me VERY soon. I asked him if there is a ETA or something like that and all he kept saying VERY soon! My zip is 11714.

I live in Roanoke, Va. And we don't have it and probably never will. T-mobile is the only on here with 4g and they have the worst coverage of the big 4...and they don't even have a store here...you have to go to wal-mart or radioshack to buy one of their phones...I hate Virginia...

Kalamazoo, MI has 1 tower near Western MI U campus....can connect to it for a 2nd near portage but it is very limited basically to the westside of town. But will be nice for Football games in the falls as it does cover the stadium.

There should be some coverage down by Mill Racer Dr. Soon, should be down by Cleavland Ave.
Just wanted to give you some hope.

I can't disagree about VA, I'm actually here from CA, and its like 2 different worlds, but just some advice, AT&T just bought T-mobile, sooooo, if you go with T-mobile, your service is going to get alot worse... Also the 4g in my area was in no way advertised, I just happened to find it, cuz my 4g was on, and all the sudden it connected.
Swyped from my CM-CeEvO

All major (VZ, AT&T, T-Mobile) wireless carriers in Phoenix, AZ (5TH LARGEST CITY IN THE US) are 4G except Sprint. Only about 4 sq. mi of 4G in the whole metro/valley area. SAD!

Says that I am supposed to have coverage in NW Austin, TX but only get 1 bar or so.. and only if i'm outside. No coverage in buildings

Sprint 4g in Hampton Roads!
Yes, I live near W. Mercury Blvd. Near Jefferson Ave. in Southern Virginia (Newport News, Va.) and I get a pretty good 4G signal. But once I leave that area......let's say 1 to 2 miles is goes back to 3G. Something is going on in the area. Hopefully all will be online fully in the coming weeks!
