My only question with that is, how hard is it to scratch the glass itself, without the film?

No idea, a couple of days ago I pulled it out of my pocket and felt something tacky in the middle of the phone. Flipped it over, and the T was stuck to my finger. Same thing happened with the H a day later. Now I'm left with a lonely C. What my phone looks like now:

Kind of a minor thing, but the H and T have fallen off the back of my phone now...

You don't have to uninstall it to improve the battery. Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Automatic Connections then uncheck the box next to Sprint Connections Optimizer. Night and day difference.

The new Captain America had an M7 as well, I'm actually starting to see it show up in a lot of places.

I noticed the battery drain start happening with version 1.4.844, but it could be happening to you on your version as well. It may be related to band 26 becoming active in my area as well, but I'm not sure. This update and b26 happened within a day of each other so I couldn't find a difference. As for the use details screen: Settings > Power > Usage > The App you want to see I went and disabled SCO from the Automatic Connections menu under Mobile Data, and my battery life is significantly improved with no other changes. I've had my phone off the charger for 3 hours now, with the screen on for 15 minutes of that, and some texting/email, my battery is at 90% instead of the ~70% that it was at the same time before I turned off SCO.

I can confirm that it is the update to the Sprint Connection Optimizer that is killing the battery. This was when my battery was at 21% after 10 hours of sitting on my desk at work doing nothing.

I don't know why they wouldn't upgrade that tower, it provides coverage for most of the city.

Has HD voice been turned on in Fargo? The last couple of days, Sprint to Sprint calls have sounded different. I'm not sure if it's better or worse. I hear much more than normal, but everything has a high pitch reverb now. Almost like it's too crisp. I've also heard from others that they think the call quality has degraded. A coworker with a Note 2 said everything sounds like it's coming through a piezoelectric speaker.

I've been driving past the S Uni Essentia daily, but apart from the initial cable lay down the alley I haven't seen any activity. I never saw any activity where they went under the alley to the building, so as far as I can tell, the line is just sitting there waiting for the last 10 feet to get to the building, then the 75 or so feet up the side of the building and into the cabinets.

A few guys from CenturyLink were marking lines and measuring things behind the Essentia Health on University and 17th Ave S in Fargo, so the backhaul for that site should be inplace before the ground freezes...Hopefully.

Yep, it seems as if most of the Minnesota and Dakota markets have had eHRPD switched on recently.
