I live in the South Park area in San Diego. I am getting intermittent 4g access on my evo. I would think 4g is on the way for SD...finally!!
I think clear has two towers up in the San Diego area.
Check out http://www.clear.com/coverage and zoom in on SD
after reading this i tried connecting to 4g... the clear coverage map didnt show coverage in my area but i was able to connect... granted it was poor signal but my speed down was 1.9MB and up was still crap .95KB
To mayate, out of curiosity, where abouts in the SD area are you located?
Man, I hope so. I live right downtown though, so don't know how great of coverage I would get with all these huge buildings around. From the looks of the Clear map, I need to move over by San Diego State...
Edit: Turned on WiMax and let it scan for a couple minutes, but got nothing. Hopefully they fully kick it in soon.
i noticed late last night i didnt have any 3g in chula vista. maybe there are setting them up?
I work in the Mission Valley area and I'm not getting anything. I live in Mission Hills and I'll try it there too but I would be really surprised if I got anything.
I bet that SD would be a tough area to cover simply because of all the hills but who knows.

If you look at the clear map...Mission Valley has a tiny bit of coverage, but not much. The SDSU area is absolutely saturated, and getting over towards La Mesa has quite a bit of coverage too. Hopefully they expand the rollout, although I doubt downtown will ever have great 4G coverage.

Hey guys, so i was driving home from the mall like an hour ago and i turned on my 4g cause i heard theyre getting it in northern VA.
anyways i had 1-2 circles of 4g!!!
my speed test is here
any body else too?
Nut sure how long it's been around, but since I've gotten the phone last Thursday I've had 0 to 2 bars in my house in Alexandria, va.

route 7 runs past my street
on my street i dont have any but on route 7 i have signal its weird
In Clarendon and Courthouse neighborhoods of Arlington I get about 2mbps...
Not particularly spectacular, but the high speeds and faster phone makes it way faster than my iPhone 3G.
Virginia has 4G before Colorado? What is wrong with this picture.............
I live in herndon and I get 1 to2 bars averaging 2+ mbps not spectacular but faster then ATT.

The signal strength is really just your strength to the tower, not your connection to the internet, just FYI I have had higher speeds with 1-2 bars than with a full signal. Anyway there are some spots in Houston, TX near where I work that I can get ~8-10Mbps down on, but I usually average about half that. Here are some pics, also btw a download test is a bit more accurate than those "speed tests" they can lie to you sometimes.

Yup. Northern VA, Richmond, Hampton Roads >>>> Colorado . We don't have any 4G here in Hampton Roads that I know of yet (no Evo til Monday), but there is a new Clearwire antenna/tower near my girlfriends house. I hope there are many more of those to come and soon.
I want them to put one in in Springfield. That's where my office is and 4G would be awesome!

There's definitely 4G at Franconia Springfield Metro Station in Virginia...and at the Telegraph Road Gate to Fort Belvoir...

Apparently there are two antennas live in downtown Denver and others aren't live but have been spotted (including on the Sprint call center in the tech center) so its coming here too very shortly.

That's good to hear. I wish Sprint would give us a real roadmap of their 4G rollout. There's no point in hiding it when people know the towers are there and are getting 4G signals.

I have been able to get WiMAX in Manassas on 234 near the Barnes and Noble. Also, just up the road in Centreville at 66 & 28. Good thing too because in both or those areas the 3G service is terrible. This is one main reason holding me back from upgrading to the Evo LTE or the Galaxy SIII since I will no longer have 4G.
Was just playing with my phone in bed and noticed I got 4G in the bay area. Just a bit surprised and wanted to share. I'm located in Fremont.

I got a full 4G signal driving from Oakland to Hayward on the 880 last week. I think it's been there for a while, but since I live in SF, it doesn't really help me much.
yeah, if you check out the map of 4g coverage youll see that the bay is pretty well covered along the major highways (880 and 101) on both sides of the bay. As far as fremont goes we have it inside the city in pockets, mostly near offramps of 880. So its coming, but its neither strong nor complete as far as coverage here in fremont goes.
And as far as where the map is, i forget. Google sprint 4g map or some such im sure youll be able to find it.
I get pretty solid 4G in downtown mountain view, and in Santa Clara it's pretty good... I have to step outside to get it at home, though.
I'm just hoping that this is the initial phase, and by the time 4g is official the coverage will be a lot more complete.
I get it in Mt. View and Walnut Creek.
supposedly there is 4G in Union Square, but that's it so far.

yeah tell me about it. isn't SF on the list for the end of this year with regards to 4G availability?
i work in sunnyvale, just off of 101 and lawrence, and i catch between 1-3 bars of 4G. it could be the signal that seemingly travels up and down 101, as i'm only 1/4 mile away from the highway, if that.
I live in Campbell and been getting at least 1 bar of 4G consistently. Not a good signal but at least I'm getting something. Getting full 4G coverage in Cupertino and Santa Clara. My friend's a store manager at Sprint and told me they're launching 4G officially in October. Hope this is a good news for some of you. Thought I should share.
sent from my EVO
There's no way they're launching in San Francisco by next month. There's no signal anywhere even for testing. Maybe the san jose market will launch next month but san francisco will definitely take a while to launch.
Because, I'm pretty sure, all 4G launches are preceded by at least some sort of test signals... Which we have nothing in SF.

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully they will. It would be silly for Sprint if they don't launch it in frisco considering the huge market.

Yeah, I work a lot in Palo Alto, and the whole downtown has the Clear Innovation network live, and there is some decent speeds. The other day while going on 101 South near Capitol Expwy exit in San Jose, I got over 7mbps in my car, while driving. That was epic.

wow that's awesome! i live a mile away from that area, i'm going to have to test it out. where i work near 101 and lawrence i can get 3.8-4.5 depending on if i have 1 or 2 bars.
I have managed to get 8Mbps in downtown San Jose. Covers the area past the Pavillion and up to the airport. Downtown has the best speeds though.
Just last weekend i got ~9Mbps near Walmart, Mountain View. Haven't got any 4G signal in palo alto area.

i'm probably being too optimistic, but i hope there's a signal inside the arena! sharks season coming up soon, so i'll be in there before long.
Some users in the EVO forums are reporting 4G in the Lansing, MI area.
I'm currently on MSU's campus (East Lansing) and I'm seeing nothing... but I will be taking a trip downtown to confirm.

I'm in Holt (South Lansing) and I'm curious too...let me know what you find out! I'm hoping it's a little more widespread than just downtown Lansing, but not thinking it'll be more either.
I'm an East Lansing guy but this is still great news as I'm sure the bubble will eventually expand into East Lansing. I just checked the clear coverage map though and it looks like they are covering the southern part of MSU's campus which is basically all farmland...

Yeh... They are completely missing the actual part of campus where students are and the area where I live (north of campus).
I'm excited to see that its this close. The coverage areas for Grand Rapids have really grown since the initial rollout and hopefully this means something similar will happen for us. I'd love to put this $50 that I've paid (so far) over 5 months to good use....

Yeah, I noticed that...I was thinking the whole East Lansing/Okemos area would be getting all at the same time. I know the Sprint store out by the Meridian Mall said we'd have it within the 1st Quarter, but I just thought they were feeding me bull (and they probably thought they were too). I just was hoping that more of south lansing would be covered (Holt) and it isn't yet really. Hopefully soon! There are some weird parts of subdivisions that have 4G though, which is pretty weird...
EDIT: Also, if this is just the testing phase, once they actually "turn on" the 4G, will it expand and be at a higher signal strength? Just assuming that it would, but I have nothing to base that on...
Yeh, it looked like areas near MLK were covered which I was a little confused about... Doesn't seem like the market for 4g. Most of the stuff west of 127 seems like a waste to me right now unless they are targeting the areas to possibly replace dsl

Confirmed... But with a poor coverage area.
I'll post some pics when I get home. Overall though it was between 3 and 6mbit/sec
I'm very very happy about this finally coming here... Sadly I never once thought I'd get 4g before froyo

I live downtown a couple blocks from lcc and haven't picked up a 4G signal yet, I work at the meijer warehouse on creyts and also no 4G yet. It'll be nice when all of lansing is covered tho, my friends in GR are loving the speeds.
Sent from my emotionless epic at midNIGHT...
Not bad for a start... I really hope they can get this to the East Lansing / MSU Campus
So, upon visiting a local Sprint store to attempt to preorder a Nexus S 4G, I was waiting for a Sprint rep to not be busy. This gave me time to look at the EVO on display (mainly because I wanted to compare my awesome Gingerbread to stock Froyo ).
I looked at the statusbar, and I noticed a 4G icon with some service...I instantly enabled 4G on my phone and was stoked because I highly doubted Gainesville would ever get 4G, so this made me think that only the Sprint store was broadcasting a small 4G signal to demonstrate the speeds to customers (pretty unlikely, I know), but upon leaving, I drove a few miles away, and still, I had full 4G service. As long as I am not in an area with an excessive amount of trees, I have decent service...soo happy
I guess I am one of the few using this service, because I have some pretty decent speeds for WiMax (about 2x what I have gotten in Tampa).
www.clear.com/coverage and zoom in random towers are popping up all over the county. Its "Clear on the go" coverage...
awesome i never thought they would have it there i live in tampa so i know how gainesville is crongrats!
you just made my day, been at UF all this time with my EVO and no 4G
LMAO i cant believe you guys didn't even try it i usually test everything where ever i go to see what i can connect to lol.
After months and months of nothing, you sort of give up on it. At least that's how I have been. But that Clear coverage link jefbal99 posted says there might be some a few miles away (Peoria, IL area). I'll have to drive to that area and see what I can get. But, even with zooming in, no antenna icons ever show up on the map, just light green. Maybe it's not as hopeless as I had figured.
Which Sprint store were you at when you connected?

The light green areas don't list the towers, just coverage. I can verify that every place I've been with light green gets 4G connection.
If you are on a Sense ROM, here is a good thread with info on making 4G connect with a weaker signal and stay connected longer. I used is successfully before my switch to CM7
Are you reporting 4G on the uf campus?

I'm glad we finally got coverage in UF... what sucks is that they're using such a high frequency for the WiMax service. The signal just bounces off the walls and doesn't penetrate well into the buildings, especially the concrete UF buildings.
