Southern California
Anyone else able to connect to Wimax in Southern California? I haven't been able since early June.. I've tried both indoors and outdoors, even outdoors in the areas specifically marked as having a "strong" signal on the coverage map. I've also updated the Profile and PRL on my phone.

2 Possible Conclusions:

1) Something is seriously wrong with my phone.
2) Wimax is down.
 
This is a evo v, a new phone sent to me as a replacement last May.

My last memory of a 4g signal was in early June at the Anaheim convention center.

I'm not always in the same place but 80% of my time is spent in Pasadena and Tustin, neither cities have any sliver of 4g coverage.

(I had strong signals in both cities before March 2013 on my previous phone which broke and had to be replaced in May.)

I'm running 100% stock.

Yeah, after five days in the parks there is little to no signal and same at the hotel. Hoping we could hotspot my wife's 4g wimax evo at the hotel but there was little to no signal even there (we were right accross the street). Did find we could log into the wifi at the Grand Californian though. That helped a bit but really not much data in that specific area.

Even the 3g signal is weak or non existent in most of the two parks! It is there, but really slow, you tube is out of the qeustion and even uploading photos takes quite sometime. Seems like everyone is having problems though, not Sprint specific!
