Oh, at least 10 - 15 miles. I've never caught a stray Sprint signal ever before. Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends

Charlottesville, Preston Ave. I'm sure this is some kind of glitch that I just happened to have caught with SCPro, and not some real network change that's happened. Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

Well, this was interesting today: This is in the middle of nTelos-land, where I've seen only fleeting glimpses of "Sprint" on SCPro during a tower change. This was around maybe over a minute (long enough for me to catch a somewhat leisurely screenshot) after I noticed it at my desk. I was on CDMA Only at the time. When I switched over to CDMA/LTE (hoping for something even more dramatic!), it reverted to usual nTelos 1xRTT. I'm dying of curiosity here! Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

Just saw on Android Central that Lollipop is in development for the Tab4 series! :-D Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends

I disabled roaming in the settings, and it's behaving more like my M7 did with roaming enabled. It does seem reluctant to use EVDO sometimes though, leaving me on 1x. I'm starving for any info regarding anything nTelos might be doing to the network here! UPDATE: Going to work this AM, I noticed on SCPro that handoffs between towers was less smooth, in that the data would blink off more awkwardly than I remember from the past. Also, a new tower would come up as Sprint for about 1 sec, then switch over to nTelos. I couldn't notice if the other tower info was different between the two.

As I've posted before, this was a sudden change in my phone's behavior in my home area. At the time (and still), I can't really sort out whether its network changes or differences in my new phone. Especially since others have noticed this, too. Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends

I just received a "friendly warning"-type email from Sprint Re my roaming data usage. I have CDMA roaming set to Automatic, and have had the Domestic Voice, CDMA and LTE Data Roaming boxes checked. I had always thought of those as permissive, not mandatory in function. So, I've unchecked them and will see how I do with data connectivity this weekend. Maybe there's a difference in these between my former M7 and the M9? Or, the M9 being triband behaves differently in a weak signal situation?

Yes, AJ's knowledge and insights are so good, we can even put up with his humor!

Thanks to having to pick up my lovely wife at RIC yesterday, I was able to see that my new M9 was completely happy in a better network environment. Interestingly, it stayed on 800 RTT/eHRPD going around 295, and once it picked up 800 LTE near the airport, it held onto that back around 295 on the way home. Upon getting back to C'ville, it held onto the last Sprint tower east of town for quite a while before finally giving up near Monticello. I also see that my data connection is better able to tolerate the LTE/CDMA setting in Mobile networks by reverting to EVDO after a minute or two.

It's been weird for a couple of weeks - hopefully, nTelos is (finally!) doing something to the network Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

Yeah, the RF issue is puzzling to me, as I can't tell if it's my phone or the hoped-for changes in nTelos-land Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends

I always just use the double-tap to wake the phone. For turning off, I've really come to like Gravity sensor app. Welcome to the M9 club!

Thanks, Trip. You know, I was so close to double-checking on your Rabbit Ears map before posting, but was just too excited! You're referring to tower #1 on the C'ville filter of your map. Oh, well . . . Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends

Well, well. Thanks to my wife's sending me to the recycling center, I saw this on the way. Very large tower next to Dominion Power across from Whole Foods in C'ville being worked on. It appears they are removing panels, and that's all I know. Here's hoping it's nTelos finally doing something with their network here! Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

I got mine on 3/31, and have been very pleased. The camera's weaknesses can be greatly helped with saving some specific manual settings (slight increase in saturation and contrast with marked decrease of sharpness) as a Custom camera. The macro is awesome. Check out hamdir's posts in xda's forums. It's characteristically smooth (thanks to Sense!) and quick. I wish I could speak to its RF performance, but living in nTelos-land (especially with recent wonkiness on the network!) precludes that.

Yeah, I've been doing a LOT of roaming on US Cellular for the past 10 days, regardless of LTE/CDMA or CDMA Only in mobile settings. At other times, it's solid nTelos as before. Wondering how long this will go on . . . Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk

Yeah, I roamed on US Cellular going into town again this AM, then on nTelos or US Cellular in town. Weird! Sent from Tapatalk on my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1

He had to wait through all the LG iterations of Gx to finally make this joke! :-D

More nTelos-land network wonkiness today: I briefly saw Sprint 1x 800 in downtown Belmont (C'ville) on SC Pro!! I was in the middle of an appt, so couldn't take a screenshot. I've NEVER seen Sprint anything here before, and certainly no 800 signals. Then, I roamed on USCC all the way home - this has NEVER happened before. I received a text from my wife on the way home (between 5 and 5:30) that was time stamped 9:11 PM. I checked message details, and that said it was sent Fri, Apr 10, 2015, 9:11 PM and received Fri, Apr 10, 2015, 5:12 PM. When I mentioned this at home, both wife and daughter reported their phones had been "acting weird". Again, I think I'm relieved that it isn't my new M9 malfunctioning. I certainly hope this indicates that the nTelos network is being upgraded, but I've learned to not get my hopes up. Does any of this sound familiar to those who've lived through a network upgrade?!

I've had my M9 a week, and its very smooth and nice. I love Skinomi's glass screen protector; it's a little thinner for better profile (0.33 mm, they say). I got Spigen's thin TPU case, and its very nice, too. I upgraded from an M7, so I'm pleased. Gets a little warm when stressed, but that's all. There's a great thread on xda for manual camera settings that help make up for HTC's crappy post-processing. I'm hoping they tweak the software some more with updates. All in all, most of the negative reviews were way too harsh. Posts by real owners are much more favorable and realistic. I haven't really treated signal strength, but it seems just fine. I've been kicked down to 1x roaming on US Cellular a lot, but that could be due to nTelos-land evolution. (At least, that's the fervent hope here!) Sent from Tapatalk on my HTC One M9

Soon ™!! :-) Sent from Tapatalk on my HTC One M9
