I take that back. Reception crapped out again. No 4G anywhere anymore. I'm not going to put up with having to constantly reboot or update my profile whenever I want to use data. This is bull.

Yeah, sorry about that, Galaxy S5 is what I meant. Yes, the CDMA/LTE option was checked. I tried updating the profile and PRL while at home in the suburbs with no luck. I just called Sprint tech support and they had me do it again now that I'm at work in the middle of downtown. She also did some kind of line re-provisioning from her end, and all of a sudden it seems like the issue is fixed. The Spark icon has shown up for the first time ever, and is fluctuating between one bar and nearly full bars. Haven't seen the 3G icon since. Ran Speedtest before my call and got .4 mbps up and .16 down on 3G. After the call, I peaked at 22+ mbps down and 1.5 up. Signifcant difference and what I had been hoping for all along. Happy now.

I have yet to see my 5S connect to 4G LTE here in downtown Atlanta and the northern suburbs. 3G only. I just upgraded from the WiMax-based Galaxy S2. It's frustrating to get such worse data performance out of the gate. Is mine a dud, too?
