  1. LOL two entries at the same minute Tie breaker: Old Goat
  2. What was explained to me was the closer to the tower, the larger piece of the pie was mine. Given the size of the phone, I am not so sure that is true. I know you have an awareness of some buildings and trees, etc in the way by the time you get to the office.
  3. I get the same thing on HTC One m9. I do not perceive it as a single device issue, but something in the OS feeding SPC and LTE Discovery as well.
  4. On a recent round trip outside Sprint LTE territory and returning to LTE territory, I tried the often recommended trick of turning on Airplane mode for a several seconds and back off to try to get better mobile cell phone towers or the one in front of you. Everytime that I did, Lookout created a photo and email. For the next few days, my battery usage report showed Lookout at 43% of battery usage. Also the battery dropped 20+ per cent very quickly. I had battery recharge periods of 10+ hours. I finally set all the battery saver settings. The phone got to a full charge in a very reasonable time after that. I got mad and turned the phone totally off. I gave it a good twenty minutes before turning the phone back on. It appears that Lookout is now down to it's more reasonable battery useage. As long as I leave the battery saver on, the battery stays charged for a good long time.
  5. Thanks for your comments. Your reference to township makes the comments I heard with locals in one area yesterday make more sense. I was reading the BSL info as the town. Locals in the next township were clearly saying the other tower discussed was in the same name township. A tower closer to the locals that I was talking to would have to be in the rural township and not the town given distance and terrain issues.
  6. Question please: I have a data base of cell phone tower info imported into SCP. My perception is the database I refer to is LTE tower info only. Where does the BSL info in SCP screen come from? (bottom field below notes - see screenshot) http://i.imgur.com/8GtRCZe.png http://jeff68005.imgur.com/all/ Top Image info in the BSL field is so correctly close, that I could walk up to the farm house. Bottom image BSL information is a few towns to the north of the tower (not same county) with known towers between the perceived location and the town named. A >> The tower? B >> Something SCP pulls up or from? C >> This trusted data base? D >> Some other source I ask because in 1x800 situations, the info showing in the BSL space below the notes may or may not match my expectations based on the 1X Bid in the database on S4GRU for my area..
  7. I am now reading some IMO troubling news to me. Some people updating or reloading the m9 PRL are getting indications of no SIM card. https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/205603?start=135&tstart=0
  8. They let the family plan main phone line in, but not the other "family members' on our plan. Just as well. NOBODY shops by cell phone in our group. Tablet maybe. ... Not likely to happen anytime soon.
