I live in Maryland and as of 11:30 I have no 3g. Does anyone know if there is a way to check on 3g outages? Thankfully I have roam control and am able to at least use verizon's 1x. I need 3g!

New Jersey here and my 3G is working on sprint.
Try rebooting?
I'm in arlington and 3g is working here, sorry if that doesn't help but its close to maryland

Rebooted, switched radio on and off no luck. My radio is good because when I switch to verizon's tower using roam control I get 1x data. Slow but it something.

You're telling me. Its really annoying to know that there is 4g just 20 minutes down the road.

Was a known issue, though I was told it was only supposed to affect EVO's 3g. I'll inquire tomorrow, but I doubt I'll get anywhere.

I have a Evo. Unfortunately 4G is acting like a "B" also :-(
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU
Mine went down to here in Cincinnati OH, right in the middle of streaming the game. (4g picked it right back up though)
I had full bars, and without moving I had nothing for a good 10 minutes before deciding to switch to the battery-draining 4g.

thanks. I called sprint yesterday and first tier support tried to insist I hard reset my Epic,even though i told them I have three Epics and an Evo and were all seeing same problem. I called second tier directly and they told me there were network issues and not to reset.

For future reference - do you have a direct number for them, or is it the usual "I want to speak to level two"?
Even Sprint employees don't have a direct line for them, they got rid of that last year. That being said, the EVOs were having data connectivity issues, and somehow it expanded into the Epic, Moment and Hero as well, but in a more limited scope.
Idk who all lives here or near Findlay, but Findlay has been having 4g off and on recently! Go to clear.com and view the map and its sure lit up green almost there!

AND in other news, Lebron James is still the number one guy hated in Ohio...hahahahahahahhaa
I'm just kidding, that's great news! Hopefully they can start getting this 4G coverage to more cities because I'm getting tired of hearing about how great this 4G service is! I have a 4G phone but only get to use 3G...WTF!...lol
Thanks for the misleading thread title. Obviously Findlay is NOT all of Ohio...
Still dont have it here in springfield
from my phone duh
Findlay before Akron? WTF....
Excuse my stupidity but are Clear and Sprint the same? I'm currently on Verizon but would switch to sprint in a heartbeat if Findlay had 4g.

Clear is the Wimax provider that Sprint uses for its 4g service. Sprint owns like 52% of Clear.
clear.com/coverage is the best site for Sprint's 4g coverage as sprint doesn't update their map until an area becomes a "Clear City"

Should I notice a difference in speed?
Only reason I ask is cause what my phone should do and what it actually does is way different sometimes.

Still dreaming bout faster speeds.
I laugh when I see people saying they have slow speeds at 3 mbps down and 1-1.5 mbps up. And I get .15-.3 kbs down and up speed is usually double that, on a good day.
Anyway, just checking

PRL
(Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming.

You guys should try out this app. It reports coverage and performance in your area to give a better idea which carrier and device are the best for cell phone networks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiaXXOTkRow
APK
Mine shows 0 bars, lol
EDIT: It would appear the epic will only report zero bars, no matter what the signal strength is. Other Sprint phones work fine, something is borked.
First!
Just downloaded this app n I'm messing with it
Seems kinda cool
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had to sync data before it showed any bars. Mine said 2.00, and that Jacksonville Florida is covered the best by Sprint. Idk if the app is just using my own carrier to display that though. I did this on a Nexus S 4G and now it's Sprint's top ranked phone in my area. LOL
Let's see if this one actually works. Sensorly reports all areas as 0/4 evdo coverage on the epic. No fix from the dev after many emails. Makes the maps untrusted big time. I tried the root metrics one and it does not report anything up in areas.
Wow...not what I thought at all...it doesn't map anything?
Clearwire also has a 4G coverage app on the market. "Got Clear?"

It's meant to be a statistics app, for now. It will have more features later.
Yeah, this doesnt work. I always get 0 bars with epic.... other phones work though, according to that chart thing..
I think the same reason this doesn't work on the Epic is the same reason Roam Control won't work on the Epic in Texas. Something about the tower tech if I remember correctly. Not sure on the details.

Not related at all. Roam control works fine everywhere. Its just the modem fails to roam on the PCS band. Seen it for myself. Stock Epic and stock TP2 with the same PRL. The TP2 had full Verizon signal on 1900mhz. Epic was searching for signal.
Are you guys running stock or a modded ROM? A theme without a proper network fix would have this error.
Wtf, Sprint is going to get a bad reputation from this application because it doesn't work at all.

It worked for my Samsung Nexus S, but not the Epic. I'd assume it could be something to do with being on a custom ROM.

Edited OP to let people know this isn't working right on the epic. I think this is an epic specific issue because Evo (4g and 3D) owners' scores appear normal and even pretty good ~3.5 bars. It appears that only the epic isn't cooperating.
Only one I have seen work on the Epic is Cellumap. Seems like the other devs need to ask that dev how he does it
for those of you who don't know. I've been using the 11115.prl and I use about 1.5-3 gigs roaming & 1.5-3 gigs on sprint towers a month.
So Monday I got my letter in the mail, I called them and they gave me a option if I want to stay with them to stop roaming or if I wanted to cancel my service that I could do so. (they would waive the ETF)
Just a heads up to everyone else if you use over 300MB roaming they flag your accounts. (what the rep told me)
Now to be honest I was purposely trying to use a crap ton a data (always streaming sirusxm) because I'm sick of sprint's slow service in my area. On the sprint towers we get around 20-60KBS and on roaming I get about 1mbps.
Anyways... any suggestions on different provider? phones?
Your roaming on VZ and like those speeds. Go with VZ
