Happy Birthday Robert! Happy Easter as well! Hope you have an awesome day!

I don't care which Target you go to, inside of every one I've ever been to I've roamed inside. It's ok until about half way back inside the store, then bam. Maybe the building material they use or something.
-
No. Legacy sites have eHRPD as well.

My brother texted me last night from Woodhaven/Taylor area of Michigan, and said he had a full bars of LTE on his iPhone 5. There is a little blip there already (Pennsylvania Rd and Allen Rd). Hopefully someone will start mapping out downriver some more! Can't wait to visit Michigan again later this summer!
-
Check to see if his phone is in CDMA/EVDO/LTE mode, and not just CDMA? Just something that could be overlooked.
-
Since you said this works well for LTE, I may be able to get rid of the Airave at my friends house and put this in. You get a decent LTE/3G signal outside the house, but barely inside. It keeps switching back and forth and dropping completely. I'll research it a bit.
-
Does this mean that the GMO sites won't have LTE for now? I notice that just about all of them are 3G complete.
-
Mapped tons of LTE on my way to Charlotte from work in Hartsville, SC. Picked it up not long after I had entered NC on US 601. Held the signal all the way through Monroe to Mineral Springs where I stopped! None of this existed 2 weeks ago! Nice progress Sprint!

I didn't update to the newest firmware just released recently. I'm on a build from October of last year.
-
I just switched to Home Only for a few minutes, because my phone was having trouble switching to an Airave. Once it connected, I switched it back to automatic. Still won't let me uncheck it. It only lets me uncheck Outgoing SMS on International. Very odd...
-
It's stock. I rooted and recolored the icons myself. It just recently started doing this. I switched from Automatic to Home Only for the roam network setting, and then back and it grayed them out.
-
I have an annoying issue with my Note II that just recently started. It won't let me disable the roaming guard on domestic roaming or international roaming (only "Outgoing SMS" in the internation section is not grayed out). Now when I do roam, the data guard came up and had the option to not show again, but when making calls, it dosen't give you that little check box to not show it again. Any ideas? I'm stupmed.

It switches as soon as you enter an LTE coverage area. I have the Note II and it is awesome. No airplane mode cycling needed.

Can't do PRL/Profile/Firmware update

Did you try connecting to Wi-Fi and doing the activation? -
I think the Hartsville, SC site may be done, 3G wise. I stopped by there again today, and there were a few guys working there. I asked who they were doing work for, and they said Verizon. One of the guys also said that he was doing stuff for Sprint in North Carolina last month. However, looking at the Sprint equipment behind them, it looks brand new. Didn't get a chance to see if there were GMR's, but I will check once they are finished and I can get a closer look. Speeds are in the 1.5-2.0 range down, and about .90 up.

Stopped by a site in Bishopville, SC this afternoon on the way home from work. This is a site listed as "In Progress" on the maps. Here are a few pictures. I can't tell if anything has been done however. Hawkins Rd, Bishopville, SC by rrxingmtr, on Flickr Hawkins Rd, Bishopville, SC by rrxingmtr, on Flickr

I stopped by an "In Progress" site in Hartsville, SC today. I didn't find anything being done quite yet, however the gate to the tower was open! Nobody was there, but it was wide open! Also checked an "In Progess" site in Darlington, SC and Florence, SC, but nada. Probably a another month or so before those even begin.
-
Unfortunately, iPhone users cannot submit coverage/connection type information to Sensorly at this time. It's not supported.
-
You did restart your modem as well, correct?

I got one of those when I was using my Photon Q. The battery life was awful on it, so i went to Best Buy and picked up one of those, except I got the 6,000 mah one. I couldn't for the life of me get it to charge my Photon Q! Wouldn't work with any Android USB cable, even the factory one. Worked on my friends Motorola Droid Razr MAXX, but not on my phone. So I took it back and got a different brand one, same mah, but it works great! Has the iPhone charger, Android, and 2 USB ports on it. It's called MyCharge. Still puzzles me as to why it worked with other phones, but not the Photon Q.....

Those new spots (circled in red below) are courtesy of me Went from Huntersville, NC to Boone, NC and back. Was constantly cycling airplane mode to see where LTE was the entire trip. Sprint LTE Mapping (02/03/13) by rrxingmtr, on Flickr

I stopped by a Sprint "tower" today in Hartsville, SC to take a look. Took a few pictures of the equipment there. Sprint is the only one on this water tower: Sprint Cell Panels on Water Tower by rrxingmtr, on Flickr Equipment at base of tower: Sprint Cell Equipment by rrxingmtr, on Flickr Lock at the gate (other 2 locks are for the City of Hartsville, as Sprint is the only one here): Lock to Water Tower Site by rrxingmtr, on Flickr Doesn't seem like this upgrade should be too hard, given that they have a platform with railing to hold on to installing new panels and RRU's!

I suggest you use Root Explorer for exporting and importing files. Works really well for me. Now, if you are editing file names, make sure you are editing the ones that dont have the word "fully" in them. The Touchwiz software uses the regular ones. The fully would mean blue, but TW doesn't use the blue icons. So if you want to change the 4G icon to the 4G LTE Verizon one, you'd rename the stat_sys_data_connected_4g_lte.png to stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png. Be sure first to rename the original stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png to something else. I just added a simple r after 4g. After you change the stat_sys_data_connected_4g_lte.png to the regular 4g, you can rename the regular 4g file you added an r to to stat_sys_data_connected_4g_lte.png. Restart your device, and it should show the new icon, given that you are in an LTE area. Hope it's not too confusing!
