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

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
