I got a 4g LTE signal for the first time at my house in south Fort Worth today. It's sporadic, but it was reasonably fast. About 3-4 mbps down. It kept switching over to 3g before the upload speeds could be measured.

It did that to me when I first got it too

1. Open the phone dialer.
   
2. Dial ##DEBUG#
   
3. In the Lock Code box enter SPRINT
   
4. Tap OK
   
5. Select LTE Engineering
   

I see it thanks

Both the "bars" display and the signal strength you mention on the Status screen are actually based on the 1x signal, not the LTE signal. (At least on the LG8 version of the firmware.) The strength of that signal, based upon those levels, is strong.

 

The only place on the GS3 to get a signal strength reading for the LTE signal (calculated as RSRP) is on the hidden LTE Engineering screen. How are the LTE data speeds?

Where is this hidden engineering screen?

Oh ok...just wondering if there was a new update...but that one is a few weeks old.

Hadnt gotten it though had been waiting on it

I'll be back there on Monday, so I'll try this!

Worked for me and then I still had it when I was outside waiting to be picked up I also think the penetration has gotten better...

All of those are in my bedroom so I'm fortunate to be close to a tower

What version do you have now? (settings > about device >....last 3 digits of the baseband version or build number)

LG8

This is what messaging looks like now

Then I checked my lte connection and it is -77dBm 8 asu good or bad?

You can wait for your phone to receive it on its own. However, that may take awhile longer. I still haven't received it. Or you can follow the information in this post about how to force it manually: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1097-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/page__view__findpost__p__37970

I received the update we were speaking of early this morning there are noticeable differences...I have 6 bars on 4G rather than the three I usually get in my bedroom (know that Doesnt mean anything just saying) the keyboard looks like it has a different color background that's all I've seen for now

While I was waiting for my plane. I literally walked all the way across the airport and stayed 3g the entire time. Well, I decided to check my usage today and noticed I've used 22kb of 4g! Somewhere while my phone was in my pocket, it must've downloaded an email or something on 4g. I'm so sad that I didn't see it in action. I'll just have to wait until Jacksonville has lte.

 

I got 4G in the north terminals...at the airtran gates

Having just left DFW airport, I can tell you that I did not even get a taste of LTE from there to Mansfield. We shall see when Sprint starts to pay attention to the area near Joe Pool Lake. I have decided not to hold my breath, though.

I was at love field....a good 30 minutes from DFW
