Think of 4G like Wifi...(it is in fact Wifi's humongous younger brother, built for wide scale) Wifi and Wimax and 2G/3G and Bluetooth are different radios. The 2G/3G radio is the one all mucked up.

because 4g service is from Clearwire , and not sprint
is that Los or just a real no sign

Had that happen to me except I had full bars but no cell service. When I turned 4g off, the 3g symbol would cone back but no data. Reset fixed. damn los.

Am I lucky with these speeds? Post your speeds.

The top four are from my house at various server distances. I know I am lucky with the wifi because I only pay for around 15. I never have had los and only saw it on my wife's stock epic touch once. I bought my phone off of ebay and I'm on the eg30 modem. I am afraid to switch with it working so great.

During peak hours I got this, much better than the stock Ek02 which was 0.01mbps down and 0.13mbps up... I don't know what Sprint is doing but my speeds are much better for the past 2 days
By the way I am on EL26 ROM Modem and Kernel. if that matters.
3g - 1189d 709u 138p
4g - 3772d 592u 139p
wifi - 11597d 4092u 30p
idk if thats good or bad at 1AM but it keeps me happy =)

3G Icon

I've had my S2 since last year November, and today was the first time I've ever seen the 3G icon on the status bar. Has that always been there on a stock rom!? I'm usually always on a 4g icon or Edge on a low signal area. I have never seen the 3G icon ever pop up on my phone

I wouldn't mind it too much. With T-Mobile, 3G and "4G" = same thing.
Exactly the same issue here. Its always Edge or 4g. Odd.

Its not a photo shop. In areas where AT&T has agreements and 3G only, T-Mo phones pick up on that. I have family that lives in one of these areas so.. he is right.. Its happened once to me, which that was the only area that I knew about that was a 3G-only area, every where else I go is yes either EDGE or 4G.
I rarely see edge on my phone 3g-4g all the time every once in a blue moon I see edge

I was looking for a way to force lte so I installed notification toggle and added the 4g button to status bar. Didn't do what I wanted, but when hitting the 4g toggle it brings me to this screen. Tried setting the preferred network type to lte only and toggling the radio but still had 3g as soon the radio turned back on. IBM want able to get to this screen any other way though. Anybody know anything about it or what the other options in there do?

Idk anything about your question but your first picture you may want to take down it has your IMEI number and phone number in it.

I can't say with enough certainty what you should/shouldn't change there.
But I would recommend you blackout your personal info before posting screen shots.
ie: IMEI,Phone #,etc
Not saying any xda members would be malicious, but that info can be seen by more than xda.

You can force LTE but there are some down sides.

Network vision delivering finally...

In Evanston, IL 3g seems to be more than usable finally (I may even describe it as speedy) ...but not LTE quite yet - at least in the closest tower to me

Lol....
I don't have screen shots but I pulled 2.23mbps down and .9 up the other night then it switches back to the crappie tower and it's 400 or less down and .9 up, progress from the 22kbps I sometimes see.
Another Evanston citizen...
I get the same speeds now as well.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I used to get those speeds everyday on my evo 4g on the 3g network 2 years ago . Now I'm lucky to get 400kbps. The now network my ass!

Q- How to turn on 4G LTE on a Sprint GS3?

My Evo 4G LTE has an option under mobile data to set it to CDMA or CDMA/LTE. My girlfriend has a GS3 an doesn't get 4G in places where I do. I didn't see where to cycle between CDMA only and CDMA/LTE on her GS3. May be an obvious answer, but we just got together so I haven't played with her phone much and didn't see where to make this change. Thanks for any help!

Oh by the way, her phone is stock unrooted and running 4.1.2. I haven't done anything with it just yet

Thank you VERY MUCH! I have no idea how I overlooked that! Just a different set up than my phones, but that shouldn't have mattered because I play around with many different phones. I was just being a noob, lol. Alright, nothing more to see here folks, let's move along and pretend this never happened! Lol
