my wife works in bethesda and is constantly complaining about data speeds and dropping out. i looked on sensorly, there is a big hole there. hopefully they get something in there soon.

Radios only is bad. You should do the other pieces of firmware too. Sent from a little old Note 2

Probably bad wording on my part. I used the first firmware download that includes everything except recovery (already using twrp), kernel (already using Meanrom 1.809 OC), and hboot (def dont want some new locked down hboot) here:

I have an Evo LTE running MeanROM 6.5. I updated radios only from the new JB update (waiting for a stable release of the MeanBean ROM).

I recently upgraded my wife from her OG Evo to a Galaxy S3. I also have been carrying a new Galaxy Nexus (new line on my account, present for my brother, I am, uhhhh, testing and updating it. . . yeah ).

After the radio update to my Evo, it is picking up 4g a lot faster in Westminster, MD than it did in the past. I am constantly looking at my phone when I am in the area and paying attention to if it picks up 4G without any airplane mode intervention. I have been carrying the GN as well, doing the same thing. Post radio update for my LTEvo, it has been on par with the GN (within seconds of each other) in terms of connecting to LTE.

Annoying my wife, anytime I notice 4G on my phone, I ask if her S3 has 4g. There have been times when I have had it and hers didnt (but connected shortly thereafter) and times when we both did.

the TL;DR version: I know LTE is better on my phone with the radio firmware update.

my bet would be DC market! enjoy!

For me it's kinda cool to just have info I didn't have to ask for.. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

The thing about Google Now is that instead of you going to your device when you want info, Google Now will bring the info to you. Examples like sports scores, etc., are abundant.

One other example is in my Calendar. If I has a location in an appointment, not only would it remind me of it, but it would tell me when I would have to leave to make it on time, accounting for traffic, and offered to navigate (this was on CM10 on my LTEvo)

I still have a hard time talking to my phone though. feel like a tool if i do it. especially if i have to repeat my request. . . in public. . .

^^^ i have been adding to sensorly as well.

Speedtest while I was at BWW in OM:

i would agree with the coverage in baltimore, but i thought it was just because i have a evo 4g lte.

^^^ man, i have been waiting for some LTE in OM!

I usually use the Baltimore server when I am in Westminster because its geographically closer as well as part of the Bmore market.

here are a couple of my speedtests in Westminster:

^^^ yeah, along 140. i think its the tower behind Texas Roadhouse. I also picked up 4g in Manchester and Littlestown.

sprint does not have any towers on social security buildings.

I was in Philly this past weekend, and I can confirm, nothing to see yet. . .

I work in the Woodlawn area and my 3G has been abysmal, and got worse when the rollout began. At times, with my Evo LTE I have been able to pick up 4G right at the edge. I picked up 4G outside Security Mall.

This past weekend I did pickup 4G is Westminster twice on seperate ends of town. Once was while at Lowes, the other was around Walmart.
