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"

Title says it all. Will we ever see the 4G light or make the switch? We need to get what we pay for. The fact that sprint says they have 4g means nothing until we all have it. Any comments?
With time it will, can't get you any source of when but it will in the future and don't worry is not a big deal sometimes speed vary and inside building sucks

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.

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

Ok so why call something 4g service when it's really just 3g service. That's lying to customers! We Won't see 4g until 2013 it seems! Kinda makes me want to leave Tmobile!

Another challenge will be in the confusion brought on by its own definition of 4G. Since 2010, T-Mobile renamed its HSPA+ network--widely considered a 3G technology--its 4G network. With the widespread availability of HSPA+, T-Mobile was able to boast of having the nation's largest 4G network.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
But yet they call it 4g and throttle you when you go over the really 3g service! Stupid!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Semantics... It is what it is - doesn't matter what you call it.
If you're going to leave a good provider that has good rates for something as petty as that, you've got bigger issues than T-Mobile calling their service 4g...
That's just my opinion though... No offense intended.

not sure if you know or don't know, but even LTE is not considered 4G
true 4G is still far away from any service
all the service providers are advertising 4G but they are all fake, as non of them really meets the 4G specifications
First of all know your facts . Now the person who said late isn't really 4g is right. But on another note in certain areas T-Mobile is just as fast as Verizon and sprint . I get speeds of 15 - 20 mbps. Its all about area that you are in.

True 4g is atleast 100mbps and guess what nobody hits that. Its all bull but yes lte is def faster then hspa+. Only the uneducated think that these bs services are real 4g and sadly not to many people know really just how fast 4g is supposed to be if they did these companys would have a problem
im from phoenix and i get "4G" almost anywhere in the valley, not so much when indoors , but it is kinda fast ...
Ill takes my fake 4G battery life ove LTE!

lol.... really?
The whole "4g" is just a marketing gimmick, but i don't really care as long as im getting 11500kbps download most of the time, sometime i even get 15000kbps.
It was a big deal before about this basically any company with new technology is consider 4g now. Hspa+ can be 4g if it reached 100 mbs. The network must reach over 100mbs not any phone. Lte isn't consider 4g either but lte-A is considered 4g.
i dont want to be mean or anything but this is really really old news and probably has been posted a million and a half times. no carrier in the world has true LTE Advanced which is set to be "real" 4G. All the current "4G" monikers are just stopgaps until they can implement LTE Advanced or a 4G compliant WiMAX.
I wouldnt quit just because tmo is advertising 4G when it really does not, because you'll be stuck looking for a 4G compliant carrier with nothing to switch to.
