Now I've just got to come up with the money for the EVO.
Thread moved to EVO Forum.

Tampa isn't Central Florida, but I'm glad to see Orlando on the list! We really need speed boost here in Orlando! I just hope that "Later this year" isn't like December or something...
If orlando is even slated for 4G this year I am getting the Evo right away!!!
Oh boy! Now I can stream real-time video of me hugging Mickey Mouse in 720p next time I go to Orlando!
...come to think of it, that does sound like a pretty interesting idea...
I cannot wait for 4G in Orlando. This information has just made my week : )
What is the realistic range when they say a certain city is getting it?
How far out of the city...
Maybe orlando, West Palm and the surrounding areas will get it soon then.
LA is getting it but i hope they get all of LA County
Does this apply to miami ?
I'm glad to see Daytona and Orlando getting 4G. If I'm not in one city I'm in the other.

As easy as reading the article...
Praying for connectivity to 4G in South Palm Beach County, North Broward County. They gotta get 4G for the rich Boca folk
Why is it that sprint over the years has only put 4g in PARTS of new york. New York is a pretty big state and has many parts. im located on Long Island and theres no 4g at all. so far the only 4g iv seen in new york are very small parts in the city.
Give it some time...my cuzin lives in LI and he has no 4g also...but manhattan is the best for 4g reception everywhere else is kinda shifty with 4g service for now anyway.
I'd love some 4g in Nassau county please!

I can report..
Theres definitely 4G in the Financial District, Midtown West, and a couple of parts of the Bronx. I actually get 4G in my new apartment which was great when I didn't have cable internet yet. I was able to play COD: Black Ops over tether!

yeah thats where i live also, nassau county. The funny thing is, the company i work for OWNS the legal rights for 4g in nassau county. So if phone companies want to put 4g anywhere on nassau county they have to lease the rights for it from my company.

I get good 4G in the large majority of Midtown only... Everywhere else it's either on and off always or just slow as turd.
(This was about 2 weeks ago when I took a break from CM to run Calkulin's, so I don't know if his ROM is a factor or not and I've since gone back to CM so my results are a bit inconclusive.)
Getting 4g right now in LIC.
Sent from the void...
Im in manhattan and service is sweet.
Sent from my CM7 EVO
I'm in midtown and 4G is horrible anywhere indoors in Manhattan due to the 2.5Ghz frequency and tall buildings.
That made my decision to switch to CM7 (no 4G support) about 100 times easier. I just don't care until they get it together.
I live in Brooklyn and i get full 4G everytime I'm outside... inside i mostly get 1 or 2 bars
Westchester cty
I live/work between Yonkers and White Plains, and my phone rarely drops back to 3g. I've been tethering at a steady 5-6 Mb/s.
-Evo 4G
Basterds!!!! I'm 40 mins west of albany, I'm expecting 4g in the fall of 2192.
Im seeing pockets of 4G popping up all over Louisiana on clears website. Anybody getting it on their phones? It looks like slidell, hammond, B.R., lake charles are all lit up in green. Anybody?
http://www.clear.com/coverage
Amazing! Good catch. I just checked last week and and there was nothing.
Haven't been in any of those areas to give it a try and just flashed CM thinking we would never get 4G...go figure.
New Iberia before metro NO? Weird. I guess I am going to have to go back to rooted stock soon and be on the lookout!
I'm very tempted to go slidell to see whats up? It looks like clear is adding places everyday. I'm always in the walmart at [email protected]
I think I am gonig to nandroid back and see if I can get anything in harahan. Doubt it but looks like they are flipping it on quickly. Will report back if I can get anything here.
Anyone tried this in any of those spots? I'm in Metairie, but it would be nice to know that at least places near me are getting 4g.

Best buy on vets is selling a bunch of laptops with wimax included so it may be here soon.
Ill be in slidell on Saturday, so I will see then.
Ha, I'll have to check it out on my way to Dibbz! Maybe one of the employees knows something we don't.
Works in lake charles. Max 5 down 1 up. Not much coverage with one tower. I don't expect to see any added anytime soon
I have been waiting for this for a LONG time I'm in Metairie BTW
I had my wife check in Lake Charles - says 4G is working
didn't expect it to come to LA for a couple of years
Mule
Does Lake Charles even have sprint 3G? The last time i was there in the summer i could barely get 3G. New Orleans better be next.
It does but experiencing the same issue as others with slow data 200-300kbps down , voice echo on some calls.

Yes Lake Charles has 3G and according to the coverage area - Fort Polk/Leesville has 4G -- all before New Orleans.
Never saw that coming
Mule
I would think it would take less time to setup 4g in leesville than in new orleans. Clears getting the smaller cities out the way first.
Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
Anything in Covington? Or Madisonville area?
Lake Charles
Lake Charles got 3g January 27 2011, don't know about 4g. After waiting for years for 3g you would think they would just upgrade the system to 4g this late in the game.
Lake Charles does not have 3g yet. and every time i call i'm told it will be the end of the month since i got my evo when they came out. 4g would be nice but i live in moss bluff just north of lake Charles and work in Sulphur just west of it. Luckily sprint did not put me on a contract like they were supposed to when i got my evo so im just waiting for a better phone with a network that is in my area.
Got 3g in Lake Charles 1/27/11 absolutely positive without a doubt. Now 4g I don't know
4G in new orleans finally!
I try all the time. Living in metairie and working in old metairie I don't get it. For the 1st time yesterday in new orleans I connected on St Charles in between Julia and Girod as well at our condo on julia & baronne 2 blocks away. So could everyone around me with evo's and the samsung one. It worked great!

The clear 4g map shows 4g alive in new orleans. Its mostly downtown but thats a start.
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.

The one in Butler Plaza.
The best signal is south of campus, with strongest being on most of Archer. Haven't tried out towards Newberry yet..

Campus is spotty with it...because of the buildings and the mini-forests we have, but slightly south of the Reitz, towards Hume, I was getting service.
Thanks for the info. Just checked the map and I have 4G in Palm Bay,Fl. Went outside my house and I connected to 4G. WOOHOO. Bout Damn time.
Nothing up on NW 13th street yet.

This has also been my experience with 3G in Gainesville.
Edit: Just looked at Clear's coverage map. It looks like they're covering some of Gainesville, as well as Newberry and Ocala.
Saw Ocala on the map too. Haven't been able to get a lock yet.

I've got spotty 4G in Ocala, FL. 1.1M down 250K up
Gainesville 4G confirmed as well!
BOUT DAMN TIME, SPRINT! Great to see my $10/month going to use!
If you don't mind me asking -- whereabouts in Ocala are you seeing 4G?

Yep, 4G made it to my town and its amazing...just wanted to let everybody know. 3G still sucks HORRIBLY but 4G is amazing even with one bar.

Congratz man! I know they say wimax is not even real 4G but it does have great speeds. Plus you can't really call hspa+ or lte real 4G either. Good to know Sprint is still expanding wimax even with there deal with lightsquared
Sent from my Mikimized Shift! (haha get it...like minimized...but the opposite.....I should shut up..
Awesome! I like how Sprint's still quietly sneaking out the 4G. We just got 4G in select parts of Des Moines within the last couple months But no word from Sprint and most of the Sprint customers I meet tell me I'm full of it when I say we got 4G here, lol.
ALL HAIL OTAKING71, THE RAPER OF HBOOT!!!
Any word on how far the signal goes outside of Waterloo (Cedar Falls?)
We supposedly have a 4g tower. You must have to go stand at the base of it to get a signal, though.
3g is pretty bad. But where I live in downtown los angeles. The 4g is really all over the place depending on how tall the building you are next to is. Inside my loft its very all over the place. No biggie. Just was hoping it would be a bit more stable in certain areas.

I have yet to pick up 4g with my shift. Even when in Nashville, Tn.
Nor the town I work in where there are 4g towers as well.
Stood right next to a VZW guy last night and he was telling me about his charge, he was standing there on 4g. I was sad. =*(
I'm not having much issues with 3g speeds, but I was running stock Vanilla.
I just got around to rooting last night.
Got MikShifted loaded up for now, see if I like it.
Looks like i'ma have to re-flash already, to many apps I wont use. =*(
Why do you have to reflash? Why not just remove the stuff you don't want?

You know you can remove those right? Its not like stock, if you use something like titanium to remove them, then they are gone, not back at reboot.

The signal is limited to the downtown area. Cedar Falls does not get any service from the 4G, and it cuts off right at the Fletcher exit on 218. Also it doesn't go past 18th Street Bridge and barely crosses Washington St to the west side. Crossroads has VERY faint 4G.
I have 1 solid bar in my house on the west side and its awesome. I have full signal on 218 (I assume the tower is near Tech Works).
