According to HTC Dev extraordinaire Koush, it's remarkably easy to unlock the One. His exact quote: "it behaves just like a Nexus device."

Looks like they're making steady progress. Thanks for keeping us updated!

Toggle airplane off and on.

I did what I could for finding the signal at 10 at night. I'm gonna let sensorly run in the background constantly for the next few days while I'm out and about around town.

Saw this today in Bloomington. Speeds weren't too great (2 mbps) but as you can see, the signal is really weak. Guess that back haul finally was installed! http://www.imgur.com/eEoVhl1.png And here's a speed test. This was one of my better ones. http://www.imgur.com/H8PMPVs.png

I would follow it.

I can't even count the number of times I've seen NV equipment pics on here, but all of those nodes looked the same to me - NV, pre-NV, ATT, VZW, so I couldn't tell what I had and what I didn't have. Good luck on LTE!

Great to hear! Thanks for helping me out! I've seen plenty of other pics on here where people say that there's an NV tower, but I never knew what I was looking for, so I couldn't tell for myself. The network in my location (I'm on this tower most of the time) has gotten a LOT better recently. Generally more stable data and better speeds. Thanks again!

Got some time to do some scouting today (finally) around Bloomington. I've attached some pictures of the tower. Can someone more knowledgeable than myself tell me which one of these are sprint's nodes? I've got pictures of the base in here too, as well as a screencap of the tower's location - I scouted the southern-most tower with a "2" on it. I think these are pre-NV pictures, as I didn't pick up any 4G when i was doing my scouting.

Huzzah on Bloomington. Thanks for the updates, Robert. Now to make a decision on a phone to replace the abysmal Evo LTE so that I can actually use LTE.

I actually would've been really surprised to see Bloomington get it before Lafayette. Combined, W-Laf and Laf have a higher population and is generally regarded as better off, economically. Therefore, I'd guess the sub count is higher. Oh well, I haven't got much longer to wait and the rollout diff will be at most a few months. Not a huge life problem. I'm just thrilled for those of you who get to use LTE daily!

Haha I know, I know. It's exciting to be in one of the earlier markets, but makes a good amount of sense, given the shafting that Indy got with the WiMax development. Robert has, in the past, given me an estimate of middle of next month for some Bloomington towers, so I won't have much longer to wait! How do you like the GS3 by the way? With LTE on the way so soon, the Evo's handoff issues are actually relevant to me, so I'm seriously thinking about picking up the GS3 at Sam's Club for Black Friday - it's only $0.96.

As a resident of Bloomington, this is aggravating. Every time I come home from college, I start to pick up the LTE in martinsville on the way up to Indy and don't ever lose it. But why not Bloomington!? #firstworldproblems.

Is that the factory on 8th?

No more eHRPD in bloomington. Must've gotten turned off.

Ehrpd in Bloomington as well. Just showed up today for the first time!

How on earth do you always answer questions quickly?! Thanks for the clarification too, by the way.

I was shocked to discover that Btown had WiMax when I arrived on campus. Kind of a moot point now with an Evo LTE. Also, I was very very pleasantly surprised with the speeds here. I used to attend Purdue and the speeds at W-Laf when I was there were absolutely horrendous - as in couldn't stream pandora when walking to class bad. Speedtests consistently under 100 kbps and the like. On a semi-related note, I'd like Robert to possibly explain something to me: On your coverage map from Western Kentucky, it showed a few sites in the southern Indiana region (read: bloomington), yet the Indy market shows those same sites. To quoth Jerry Seinfeld: What's the deal?!

Fellow Hoosier here, but at IU - Bloomington. Speeds are pretty fantastic here and have been since I arrived mid-2011. Worst tests are approx. .5 Mbps. Tops out around 1.5. I should also share that the .5 Mbps happens with super weak signal. NV will be great, but these speeds that I'm seeing are fairly respectable. Enough for my needs, really. The ping times just need to get lower.

Thanks for your reply; really appreciate it and the work you put into this site.

Robert- Are there Bloomington towers included in this image as well or no? Thanks.

Also new here; any news on the Indianapolis market area? Also, who will be deploying for that market - Ericsson or Samsung? The vendor map that's been propogated around here isn't abundantly clear on that.
