That's correct except for CM 10.1 roms

I am on an iPhone 5 which I believe correctly reports LTE signal strength. It switched from 4-5 bars of 3G to 1 bar of LTE which seems to confirm that behavior. I just wish there was a sensorly app I could use.

They are the towers of Barad-dûr and Orthanc.   AJ

The Greeneville tower was accepted a couple days ago along with one near Kingsport. Robert had them posted in the completed towers thread.

As far as I know stock ip5 and lg androids report real lte strength in the status bar.

Does anyone have any information on north and west Knoxville... I feel that I was incredibly fortunate when downtown got upgraded where It did.. I happen to work downtown, so it has been very welcome.. 3G in Knoxville is not that great even for the low data stuff that i do.

Nothing so far that I've seen for north Knox but driving out west today I noticed the tower just before the weight station seemed to have the ruus up on the tower. I didn't have a good enough place to stop and grab a photo but you could definitely tell there were 3 ruus sitting behind the antennas.

Also I don't know if it's just me but the HTC One seems to be reporting lte signal strength properly. I noticed it downtown today and in Cleveland that the further away from the tower I got the lower the bars were with my evo lte the signal would almost always stay high regardless how close or far away I was. Maybe someone else with the One can help me determine if I'm correct.

The tower at Gallaher view and Middlebrook pike had some shrink wrapped equipment on a trailer being unloaded into it this morning. I didn't have time to stop for a picture, but if I had to guess I'd say work will be starting there shortly.

I hope that wasn't the sewer company again fooling everyone.

I would love to get that phone, but the lack of an sd slot would drive me insane. Performance wise, how much better is it compared to the Evo LTE?

Definitely not the sewer company. They had the gates open to the tower. The sewer guys were never in there. Just drive by on lunch break and they are gone. I don't see anything sitting out but they could have put it in the little building there.

I drove by and seen two trucks sitting there but not equipment and the gates were closed. If they did have the building open that's not gonna be sprint that would be at&t. I'll see if I can go by tomorrow and ask them who they are with as most of the crews I've ran into don't mind talking about some of what they are doing.

It's like night and day between the two phones. Lte is a lot better and everything runs smooth. Sense 5 takes some getting use to but so far I'm liking it. I am missing 3g data while on a call but dealing with it so far. The lack of the sd hasn't bothered me as much as I thought it would.

The tower in Jacksboro/LaFollette (between Knoxville and Kentucky headed up I-75) is confirmed up and running! The gf's Note 2 was humming along at around 7.9mbit down with a relatively weak signal (we live on the fringe of that tower's coverage).

I picked up LTE down Chapman Hwy with LTE discovery not enough to hold on or map it. I don't think I was close enough to any known working lte towers. I have ran it before and never got anything down that road I marked it on the map here hopefully promising news or just phantom singnalpost-8878-0-40837600-1367450027_thumb.jpg

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
