    Any news on this tower?

     

     

    Might make some people happy but drove by the Hutchinson Ave tower this morning to find the spools of new coax, moving the cabinets into place, and of course the most important the guys assembling the antennas on the ground with all 3 ruus in place. And sorry for the bad pics I was zooming in from across the street.

    Sorry I've been away for a while. Still no update on this tower. The antennas are still there and so is the coax spools. Not sure what they are waiting on but I hope if the weather clears up some they will finally come finish this one.

    None at all so far. I'm loving the phone so far. It connects faster and holds it longer then my evo lte did. I'm glad I made the switch.

    I'm about ready to make the switch, was in the tri-cities today and it is getting frustrating having to toggle airplane mode to make my phone connect. I just don't know if I can live without my sd card.
    I thought the same thing at first but after transferring everything back to my phone adding some more apps and more music here's my free space left. And with Google Backups and Dropbox for documents and photos I'm good. Posted Image

    Me too I also mapped out some 4g just past west town mall heading towards downtown this morning.

    Are you having any problems connecting to 4G with that phone?

    I also was getting 4g while at the movies at turkey creek. It was odd that I had it the entire time I was inside but only off and on outside last night.

    Interesting, I live right next to Turkey Creek and haven't seen it at all. Maybe I'll drive around and see if I can pick it up.

     

    You didn't map it by sensorly by any chance?

     

    No I didn't sensorly has been crashing a lot on my htc one but like you the only place I really seen it last night was inside the theater not in the lobby and really spotty just outside the theater. I do know that the tower down by wild wings has had the ruus on it for about two weeks now so not sure if they were testing it or maybe regal has a repeater inside the theaters themselves and that was the reason for the spotty 4g just outside the building.

    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?

    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.

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    Seen any new progress at this site?

    I haven't seen anything yet at this site but the one at the Broadway exit did just have the cabinet half installed. It's sitting on wood planks and being used along with the old grey cabinets. The crew that was working there last week or the week before I can't remember which was only doing tower mods for increased coax cable installs.

    As far as I know att is done with both these towers so any work seen being done should be sprint. There are 16 crews working on the att towers in knoxville so if you see a crew working try and drive by and catch the name of the company and I can let you know which company is working on that tower. So please don't get your hopes up too high just because you see a crew working on a tower. I'm trying my best to find out as much as I can.

  10. Drove through downtown twice today, no go on the 4G for me. On a side note, I think I will get the S4 instead of the HTC One.

    I have gotten it all day long downtown. I have played with an htc one and it's a nice phone I'm not a fan of plastic phones and touch wiz so no Sammy for me. That being said I might skip the one to see what might be coming it after the one. Not sure if I wanna dish out full price for the one I'm not up for renewal till 2014
