Greetings from....an hour east of Nashville

I could say Cookeville, but its one of those supposedly 'little no-name podunk towns' that forumites elsewhere on places like Engadget like to gripe about being on the recent 100-list while far more major cities are notably absent thus far.

 

Anyway, been a lurker for about 2+ months or so and finally decided to register as well as donate to the site. Just recently upgraded from the Epic 4G slider to the new Moto Photon Q and anxiously awaiting LTE's arrival here. Just noticed today I'm now showing eHRPD here on the phone...hadn't really looked much lately at my status screen, but I know when I first got the phone 2 weeks ago, I was working that weekend in Nashville (where I bought it) and was still getting EVDO there (northwest side near downtown). So looks like the prelude has started here at least.

 

The ironic thing for me is that I switched to Sprint from AT&T because, at the time I switched, AT&T hadn't even put in 3G access here yet...and the I-40 corridor runs right through here, which continually baffled me. And now it looks like Sprint will beat AT&T here with LTE too (Verizon's already live in that regard). So I already have been happy with Sprint, and now look to be even moreso in a few months.

 

One shout out for any Photon Q owners that perhaps weren't yet aware, but XDA has dedicated forums now for the phone, and thanks to shabbypenguin, the ability to root the phone followed 8 days after release.

Hah, I opened this thread just because I wondered how close to Cookeville you were! :)

 

Lived there for a small section of my life growing up, but it was a good section. Shout out to you from SW Missouri.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
