Gps has been an issue for me from the beginning for me but this is takes the cake. Sense I flashed the newest Frankenrom its been a little off. Not to bad except for me living in Mass.
When I was in an area with bad service, it claimed I was in Bosnia.....

mine has put me in the atlantic ocean, when I was in Orlando, in an open field. GOD i hate samsung for this **** GPS.
Are you on WiFi? Sometimes when it uses Wifi to guess at your location it can get it real wrong.
I work in a TV production truck, and last week the truck was in Salt Lake City, then in Denver. As soon as I connected to the trucks WiFi my phone thought it was in Salt Lake City. The next day the WiFi database figured out that those routers had moved to Denver, so my phone thought it was back in Denver.
No wifi, was walking around the backyard. It just cracks me up cause even my old palm pre would place me within 10 feet if i was in my basement. This thing wouldnt have a clue if I licked the antenna and stuck it to the satellite.
Sacrebleu!!!

GPS works perfectly for me, using the Frankenstein ROM, places me within 10ft of where I am, best result I have obtained so far on this phone.

You shoul replace it...gps has never been a problem for me (when I'm in service -_-) which is why I believe its an intermittent hardware problem...although my hero's gps blows the epic out of the water lol

So I was kind of far away from home using google maps today and I thought to my self... self, what if the place you were going to wasn't in google maps. I then reassured myself that it isn't possible and said then that place doesn't exist. 5 minutes later I passes right by it. Now I haven't been taking any drugs, so my question is what made me hallucinate that restaurant and an entire meal?

Yeah, G Maps isn't perfect. If you look for Sprint in St. Louis, one of them is actually a restaraunt. I've actually had quite a few mishaps with G Maps. It says my son's Dr. is on the exact opposite side of town, but still registers the correct phone number...weird.
Can somebody help it seems that I can't get any 4g all of the sudden. Im running nebula rom. It searches for a while and says disconnected. I had 4g previously in Sacramento but today it never connects. I even went to 4 places where I've had it before but nothing.

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,

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 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.
I had little to no service at my home for almost 2 weeks where I would usually get full bars but as of yesterday I get full.signal again and my 3g speeds have never been better. 2.5/1.2 mbs. Sprint seems to be getting things together

i hope they do that soon here. Thats how 3g was before the EVO and Epic came out with "4g"
although 4g definitely is a lot better these days...i get 8mb/s with a ping of ~50...Its NEVER dipped below 190 until a week ago.
Whatever this network vision thing is, im liking.
Now hopefully they can fix the problem where i go from 3 bars to 0 when i send a text or make a call and then get my bars back AFTER i hang up -_-

I was in Corpus Christi, TX the last few days. I remember the first night I got about 1.2Mbps dl and the next days or two I could barely get 100kbps. On the last day the speeds went back up. I'm pretty sure it was just my modem being lame (EG22).
Judging from similar topics in the past few months, this improvement seems to be the trend.

I don't think they have anywhere to go but up...its at rock bottom already.
If I remember right, a few months ago my signal and speed turned to complete crap. I tether while I'm at work so I can see the difference, and it was SLOOOOOWWWWWW.
About a month after that all of a sudden my 3g speeds jumped up and, most of the time, it's like I'm using the internet at home (aside of the random hiccups in speed). Now I'm hoping for 4g soon in my area

Pretty sure that is the Radio in your phone crashing and has nothing to do with Sprint's network. What Radio and ROM are you using? There have been known problems regarding this with the Gingerbread radios... EG22 still has this problem on my phone although not as frequently.
