download failed for some apps with 4G

Not sure if anyone has that same issue.
for e.g. i tried downloaded 'angry birds' with 4G on. the progress bar went up to 100% pretty fast (like in 30sec) but and message came out 'download was unsuccessful'. some app will download but some app will not with 4G.
once I switch back to 3G i can successfully download angry birds. dunno what's wrong.

Thanks

Thing about 4g is it seems to have high packet loss..mostly if your in a weak signal area :/..Ive had that happen..

While there will always be the limitations of 2.5ghz...I think Sprint may be lacking QoS to account for the packet loss..I've had many instances on 4G where I would download a huge file and it would end up corrupt

..but when it does ork it definitely works well..
