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.
5219 kbps down
1026 kbps up

I live in the same neighbor hood as you and I'm getting 4g as we speak. Petty cool. The only problem is I can't run cyanogen's rom anymore if I want to use 4g. Bummer.

I live on the east side and nothing over here yet. Does anyone know how large the coverage area will be?

I also got a 4G signal in Valley View on my way to work this morning also. I did a couple of speed tests and here are the results:
Valley View (Valley View Bridge) : 7963 kbps download, 1011 kbps upload
North Olmsted (Great Northern Mall) : 8647 kbps download, 974 kbps upload

I am in Bedford Heights and not picking up any 4g signal.

Eventually it should cover the whole cleveland area....this morning I got 10.5mbps! Northolmsted.

Stupid question, but how do you know when you are getting a 4G signal?
Does the "3G" in the status bar change to "4G"?

Select menu, next select settings, then select wireless and networks. Check the option to turn on 4g, then select manage 4g settings. Select notify me when 4g is available. That will set the phone to constantly scan for 4g.when it picks up 4g there will be a notification on the top status bar.then it should automatically connect and show a 4g icon up top.

FYI
"Clearwire said customers may begin to find WiMAX coverage in portions of San Francisco; Tampa, Miami, and Orlando, Fla.; Nashville; Denver; Minneapolis; Cincinnati; Cleveland; and Pittsburgh ahead of official market launches in those cities. However, the carrier has not yet begun to market the offering in those areas." via rcrwireless

I just realized its up in Cleveland too. Got a good signal in Westlake and Bay Village. Check out the app Sensorly in the market, it will show you if and where there is 4G in your area. That's how I found it in Cleveland.

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

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!

Do you have Wimax in your area?

I just wanted to know how many epic users actually have reliable wimax coverage where they live and work. I personally I am tired of the silence sprint has left us with in regards to expansion of Wimax or LTE coverage and rollout of the vision network. I'm tired of getting ATT EDGE speeds on EV-DO rev A and just barely being outside of Wimax coverage with no hope of an official rollout in sight.
So, is everyone mad and experiencing problems or am I the exception to the rule? I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma btw.
Edit: Poll added
Edit 2: No Wimax, Fast EV-DO added! Thanks Impaler!

No.

I first noticed 4G coverage on the east side of Madison, WI Friday May 6. My son and I have been using Sensorly to start mapping it. Looks like at least one other person. Anyway, I can see it spreading but its iffy, generally.
BTW, Madison is not on any official Sprint launch list as far as I can tell.

I live in Kentucky. We don't have 4g anywhere in the state. I did manage to pick up a 4g signal while standing outdoors in Covington, right across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio. That's probably as close as it will ever get before Clearwire goes bankrupt.

No Wimax at all, However have fast and stong ev/1x data.

i live in the Quad Cities(iowa/illinois). we dont have sprint 4g, but we do have clear. i know its the same thing. but since its wimax and not lte i can get on it and use it anyways. we only have one tower and you have to be within ten miles for consistent outdoor coverage but when you do get signal it works pretty well and noticeably quicker than 3g.

I read somewhere that LTE had the fastest 4G speeds in Phoenix, I instantly assumed WiMaX was there. :'(
(I'm from Phoenix.)

I have another question, has service changed drastically for the better for anyone recently? (wimax added or much faster evdo)
