I was cruising through Newark last night and noticed I had connected to 4G but get nothing from home here in Fremont (sadly).
Anyone know anything about when they'll be turning it on for the rest of this area? I can't find anything online that shows a current map of 4G rollout in this area...

Download an app called Sensorly Map Viewer. It shows current 4G, CDMA, GSM, and Wifi coverage and forecasts future coverage. It takes a while to load and configure but once its setup you can get great coverage data.
It looks like there is 4G coverage in 4 spots in Newark, mostly off 880 and near CSU East Bay. I'm across the Bay in SF so I'm hoping they turn on 4G here soon!

4.5 down.... 1.5 up! top o the on ramp. I was so shocked I had to share!
I thought they were only testing LTE in phoenix. I hope this becomes something.
I wish I had those speeds. Hell I wish I had 4g

No go for me on central and thomas in phx.
There have been reports though that somewhere near bell rd in northern phoenix, you can connect during the night. Some say they were doing testing out there.
If you want to track where people have gotten 4g coverage, download the Sensorly app on the market. It's very helpful to see where Sprint is expanding coverage as you can see a lot of places before Sprint announces them.

Or just go to clear.com/coverage and see the new places. They seem to update the maps every Monday or so.
Sweet! I'll be travelling to Phoenix next week. I'll have to check for signal while I'm driving around the city.
There's a little blob over around 7th and Bell. I've been obsessively checking the clear maps for months and our two Phoenix blobs haven't grown yet.
...that's actually Mesa. I miss living there. :'(

Tempe: University Dr and Rural Rd. 4g is a no go, captain!
Yep Mesa it is! It was about 9 0r 10 in the morn. Next time I head to the office I'll see if its still there!
Im going to drive there right now since the traffic died down! ....

Maybe im blind but where on clear.com does it say that cuz on the map i dont see anything in Tucson?
I just went to www clear com/coverage and typed in tucson and the area between park and alvernon shows up green for 4g like in mesa and yuma only difference i can connect in yuma and mesa but not in tucson.
So I goto Louisiana Tech University in Ruston LA. I've had my epic since october but this past weekend my friend got an Evo Shift and started getting 4G and now I am too. Is there some secret rollout we know nothing about or am I just behind?

Half way between lafayette and new orleans still no 4g

Clear is adding towers to new areas either as test markets or to keep licenses as some have said. Look at clear's coverage maps, chances are most small towns around you have at least one clear tower. In Oklahoma 4g coverage began popping up at the beginning of the year.
What's pretty interesting is Billings, Montana has 4g coverage on clear's map while native sprint coverage of any kind can't be found for hundreds of miles (it's roaming 1x area on sprints map).

Look at clear.com coverage maps. 4g coverage in Lake Charles, Fort Polk, Lafayette, New Orleans, Slidell, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Ruston, Hammond, Shreveport and Baker. Of course they are single towers in most places.

Just read this thread and quickly turned on my 4G radio... and denied. Le sigh. So still no 4G in Metairie/New Orleans metro area. Had my hopes up for a moment.
I still don't get how T-mobile and Verizon can have their LTE networks here and many other cities, but WiMax is just a myth in many major cities this far after initial roll out. If it wasn't for the cheaper plan rates, I probably would've jumped ship a while ago.
Clear's map isn't quite accurate either. I get no 4g signal whatsoever in New Orleans outside on the street within the coverage area.
Also: Clear, Houma? WTF?

You have to be closer to the tower than the maps show. Our devices suck compared to the coverage the clear devices have.

Clear.com would have be believe that Houma was built entirely out of 4G.
Bastards.
Maybe once this semester is over I'll go wander around New Orleans and try and map out the 4G areas.
I haven't tested in houma in forever it might be up that's where my sprint store is

Check the Sensorly app. It has some of the 4g mapped out.
NICE!
Clear.com said that my area (Grand Junction, CO) had 4G, but I've never been able to connect. I did the 4G signal tweak, and now it works great! I figured it would be years before GJ got 4G considering we just got 3g a few years ago. This is a pleasant surprise!
There's an app on the market called got clear it uses ur location and tells u if u got 4g. Look it up its a great app

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

I wonder when they put these up. I checked at KVCC and Davenport a few months ago and got nothing.
Not even gonna discuss speed and bytes per second. I'm lucky if I stay connected rooted or not rooted. How can sprint be.proud about their 4G network if its not stable. Anyone have a steady 4G connection. I'm in NYC.

Also in the Bay Area, CA. Pretty stable. Constantly 9-10 mbps. Not trying to rub it in the author of this threads face, just saying it might be your area buddy. Hopefully that changes soon.

I live in the San Fernando valley CA and my 4g is greatcoat here inside and out
I have steady 4G, in suburbs of LA.
I have a tower outside my office, and if I'm outside, 4 bars. Once I go inside, the building....poof it is gone. Which is normal for the very high frequency WiMax is on, it just does not penetrate walls very well. Connection speed during the day is horrible, but goes up when normal people are still sleeping 4am, it might hit 5 mbps.

Depends on where you are. On my 3D i get a connection on the edge of my bed lmao. Whenever I travel to central west palm my 4G is kicking ass.

I have decent coverage when traveling around Nashville TN but when I'm inside a building, or my house, I'm lucky to stay connected and have more than 1 or 2 "curved bars". penetration sucks with Wimax.

I have a steady 4g and I live in NYC as well, specifically Williamsburg. I get about 4 bars outside, one to two bars while inside.
When I lived at my parents house in the Bronx, I got full signal from inside their apartment and it was great.
Where do you live that you get bad coverage? I always considered NYC to have great coverage, but so never tried it in Queens. It may be worst there.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm in St. Louis, and I find it to be pretty thin. As others have mentioned, the frequency means that it just doesn't work well indoors. And it destroys my already terrible battery life. However, if I can get a signal, and if I'm near a charger, the speed is very nice.
Overall I'd say my WiMax experience is a C-.
HERE IS A FACT. this is A FACT! Sprints 4G network is a joke. They have no real workable 4G network. Having a tower here and there doesn't work! Sprint HAS NO PLANS IN ANY FORM OR WAY TO INCREASE THEIR WIMAX 4G NETWORK! They are coming out with LTE phones for a reason. because they are stupid and don't know how to run a company. Other companies LTE networks were LARGER than Sprints ON THEIR FIRST DAY TURNED ON!
My biggest annoyance with 4g is that sometimes it won't load a webpage. With 2-3 bars of 4g even. The progress bar will get about halfway, then stall out. It downloads files quick, but for some reason just has issues with webpages.

I had the same problem when i first got my Evo and I was pissed, when I called Sprint, we went through all kinds od procedural BS, but after a month of calls to Sprint and HTC, we came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue and could not be repaired, so they gave me a new phone. Then I was getting 5 Mb per second. I advise you to let Sprint know and do not give up, they will replace your phone with whatever you want, make sure to let them know how pissed you are, it helps
