4g not working in vegas?

[chugger93]

back in detroit we don't have 4g, but in vegas now on vacation. I though I saw on sprints website that vegas had it. I turn it on, it scans for a bit, sometimes connects to sprint. Then disconnects..and I get nothing. Have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I even tried turning off 3g...ugh

You could set the wave frequency at which your phone will connect to 4g to lower so itll have a better chance to connect

That's pretty much how the 4G works here in Dallas too and we were the first city to get it.

It's hit or miss throughout the city. We do have 4G though.

You will need your MSL, Call Sprint or follow this:

1. Dial ##3282#
2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.
3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension
4. Change the Value from -89 to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.)
5. Change EntryCINR to 0004
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are tired of the Radio taking forever to reconnect once you loose your 4G signal, then:
1. Change Scan Retries to 00015
2. Change Scan attempt timeout to 0002

You will now have a somewhat faster and much stronger 4G signal!!!

EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market
1. Open ConnectBot
2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada
3. Press SSH and select Local
4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter
5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in "getprop" without the quotes
6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.
7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]
8. It will be 6 digits and that's your MSL

It's hit or miss, I am able to get 4g around the strip, inside many of the casinos it does not connect - works from the 7-11 400 yards from my apartment, but not in my apartment.

I usually just leave 4g off unless I'm trying to pull up youtube or something and am not near an open wifi... The 4g antenna I've found really sucks the battery life.

It is on now in Detroit but only in a small area. Use the sensorly app to find it.
