My first evo got its rsa keys fried so i just recieved a new one today and was super excited to test 4G. Well, in emryville, i got consistantly between 7-11mbs down and 1.3 up.
I know 4g isnt official in sf yet and to my knowledge no towers in the east bay and i have 1-2 bars of signal with amazing speeds.. wow im stoked for the official release! Maybe this is just lack of cell traffic but im really pleased with sprint on this one.

No, the earthquake happened around 1 am. my 4g was out way before that like around 10 pm.
Dallas here. No 4g tonight for us either it seems.
cd's or tapes?
how did you guys find out that 4g was down? i have been looking everywhere for a status page and couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
JD
Well this is the first time in about 3 months I can't get a signal. I usually keep my 4g on all the time because I can get a signal everywhere here in sacramento.

This could be a big break for sprint. Think about nationwide 4g coverage even in remote areas because of satellite technology.
It is good know that sprint is actually thinking about the future.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've heard of them before this, apparently they have a huge problem with the frequency they are using. Since it is so close to the frequency gps satellites use their test towers effectively jammed all gps within a few mile radius of them. Definitely not going to fly with gps being maintained by the military.

Looks like fox picked up on this too; although it should say 4G is at least 1Gbs, not up to 1Gbs.

Yes, they still got some work to do. But once its all figured out, it'd be nice to see them arm and arm with Sprint.
so i was in kzoo MI and fliped on the 4G and lo and behold i got a 4G signal and download speeds around 4 Mbps.
also its on in st joseph/benton harbor MI as well. was surfin it in down town.
It's downtown in South Bend as well at about the same speeds.

If you are not in the green on the map then the map will probably be updated in a week or two. Do not expect more than one or two towers in areas. It is just so clear can hang on to the licenses.
Lol. The map has coverage all around my apt but not at my apt in portage. Wtf

I got 4G to connect in my house about 15 minutes south of Lansing! I thought this would NEVER happen. They haven't officially made 4G "available for purchase" in the area yet either (according to the website at clear.com). Does this mean the signal still could be enhanced or stronger before it is officially available?

coming home from Eastpoint, I clicked it on by accident, waited for it to cycle off and noticed I had 4g signal at 8 and Vandyke in south Warren. It was slow as ****, but there.

I checked the map and it appears as though there's 4G around all the colleges here.. It was cool to be 'near' Notre Dame and flip on the 4G and get a connection.. didn't have time to do a speed test, the light turned green

I have heard talk that Dan Hesse visited ND (as an alum) and then promised to have 4G coverage around town by football season. I hope that's true. I live just across the river from St. Mary's and can't pick up a signal, but did pull down 3.5 Mbps downtown.

I had an appointment Thursday morning across from St. Joe High school on Angela blvd. Just for grits and shiggles, I flipped on my 4G and connected !!.. I didn't have time to do a speed test.. but I figured I was too far from holy cross college there and notre dame for it to work.. it did work.. Tuesday I'll check it out again w/ a speed test.
Pretty cool to know there are at least 3 ppl from South Bend, IN here.. we should meet up for a brewski sometime
Probly no one from nh... my connection has gotten better im getting like 2.5mb/s

yeah sprint would have $200 of my money coming may 7th guaranteed... actually feeling a little nostalgic about being in the exact same 4g situation I was when i got my original EVO... maybe its a bit of Stockholm syndrome

If im not mistaken, I think you can still connect to "regular" 4g if LTE isnt available
Or do you just not 4g where you live in general?
Pretty certain there is no wimax (regular 4g) on the new Evo. I've read the 8960 chip can't/doesnt support it. So I don't believe that's an option.

Sprints "regular" 4g is wimax. I'm pretty certain this phone will not support wimax.
