[Q] 4G Coverage- Arlington/Mansfield, TX

Hey Thunderbolt users! I currently have a Droid Incredible and my upgrade is due in 3 weeks. I was thinking of getting a 4G device and the Thunderbolt would have to be the best out and I don't care for the Bionic. I hate Motorola.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a Thunderbolt user in the Arlington/Mansfield, TX area that could tell me about the 4G coverage. Is it spotty, slow, etc? I know Dallas/Ft. Worth has 4G coverage (and extended signal areas according to the verizon website), but I don't think I live close enough reach just the Dallas/Ft. Worth signal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have 4G yet wait for the HTC vigor to come. It's gonna blow the thunderbolt away.

I'm trying to find out if my area is covered or not and I think I'm waiting for the vigor anyway. I guess I'll just have to go ask the Verizon guys this week. Do you happen to know when the vigor is colony out? I heard fall, but you know rumors.

That's about as much as I know. :/

Thanks for the help nonetheless. It's nice to get an actual response rather than seeing that views number go up. Lol

Yes you will get 4g coverage in that area.

I live right on the boarder of those two cities and I get great 4G. So you should be set. Although I can't guarantee anything if you live out in the far depths of Mansfield.

Thanks so much. I have friends who have Sprint 4G here, but I wasn't sure about Verizon.

Oh yeah...youre good for sure as far as 4g goes. I even get 4g all the way out to 20 and 35 in ft worth. Its a strong signal out there in Arlington area...at least for me it is. Im rooted with the MR2x radio, but even stock before rooting was good signal.

I get 4G basically from Dallas to just east of Aledo, and from Lake Worth area (820 and Jacksboro) down to Ball Park and 30 in Arlington. Haven't gone much further south than that while looking though.

No worries. There are a few 3G areas in there of course, but they're minimal at best.

AT&T hates the NW so no LTE here so I'm getting 3-8mb down depending on the time of day and 1mb-3mb up on HSPA

Not expecting LTE any time soon here either. Verizon and US Cellular (of all companies) have deployed their LTE locally, but we're not even on the map for having LTE turned on this year. Not terribly surprising I guess. I'm more surprised that Verizon has already had their LTE up here since the beginning of December.

When you had problems with the Speedtest app saying it was having network issues did the data stop working for your phone all together until you restarted your phone?
I discovered i have this problem often when trying to use the Speedtest app to test my LTE connection in San Antonio.
I started a thread a couple days ago here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634147
Are you or anyone else experiencing this same problem?

I'm seeing 20 to 30 Mbs in fort worth.

15-25Mbps in Noblesville, Indiana. using 4gLTE.
I'm definitely happy with switching back to AT&T. Sprint ruined the experience of having a smartphone in my opinion.

Here is my speed...very strange situation as well. No LTE coverage on the att map where I am, but at the very top of a hill where I park for work I get coverage. Very good reception too but only within a 30 ft or so radius. As far as I know the closest LTE area to me is NY and I'm in CT...strange.

Where are you seeing all these lte issues? Beside even if it is dropping its better than Sprints NO LTE.

I have seen people complaining that it keeps kicking them down to 3g. But you are right the speed difference is huge. And no I don't have to pay an etf. I just have to send then all of my phones. Witch sux I just got the sgs3 two weeks ago

I am just trying to get a feel for issues if any at all. You know how some people whine and you can't get a good idea on a phone I assume it will be about the same with way better coverage and ddata speeds.

A lot of the lte drop you may be hearing of comes from the cynogen mods and aokp roms. But Verizon has the most solid lte coverage out there.
Plus like it was stated. I'd rather lte drop but have lte as apposed to no lte and real slow 3g speeds from Sprint

Go to the Verizon coverage map and check your area and see what kind of reception you get that's the best way to find out of Verizon is worth it.

You should just keep it and pay an ETF. You could easily sell for $500 on eBay to cover a $200 ETF.

I am using AOKP Milestone 6, and after tinkering with a couple things, I have a solid 4G connection. No unexplained drops to 3G in a 4G area for me.
And I agree with what's stated above. There is no way you'll want 3G once you get used to 4G.

stock Rom at the moment works best on this phone I would just stay with that till development matures a bit.

Verizon is a total rip off now. Data is way too expensive.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!

It may be exspensive but for the same plan I have on sprint I can switch. And save 30 bucks a month that's with 4 gigs. Ill never use that Much. With sprint there data is so slow it'ss painfully. That's why its unlimeted. Cause there is nothing to limit lol.

Are you sure that it is truly live? I've seen the LTE icon light up on my phone for a couple of days and then go away as if they were testing it out.
