Yes to both, but most of the places I didn't get Sprint CDMA service were places that RF just couldn't get to from outside. I had decent coverage when I wasn't in basements or access tunnels, etc. The various places I didn't CDMA service I had great IDEN coverage on my company phone.
Being a former employee on the technical side of things at Disney, the only hidden Sprint network is a decent amount of small nodes in various basements around the park, but they're specifically for the Nextel direct connect phones they use as park wide communication. There's several thousand deployed there.
I never had coverage on my personal phone when I was in these areas. So I assumed they're only the iden band.
I was talking to one of my friends, apparently that little patch on Sensorly was her, it showed up briefly in the middle of the night while she was working, and it went away pretty quickly, she says. Hopefully there's more to come.
My phone was stuck in a boot loop when I drove by that area on my trip home, so I'll assume by the lack of stuff on Sensorly that it was off. Not really surprised, but I still like to investigate. I'll report back after the morning commute.
I was going to map along Orangethorpe and Lakeview on my drive home, but there was no lte to be found by 6:30. I drive by there daily during my commute, I'll map it and report back.
I've been using CM and AOSP ROMs for years. It's gotten to the point that I can't see a point using a phone without them. The nexus devices are particularly awesome with CM.
