Just make sure I don't have any Jameson, boy-o.

And unless you have your phone set to LTE Only, you likely won't except for a few places in town. The 4G is so thready in most of the city, 3G is clearly stronger and the phone defaults to it. While Sensorly might show a large part of New Orleans covered by 4G, it's a little misleading when you have to be LTE exclusive to get that. I *can* get 4G at my desk, on occasion but it almost never switches to 4G on its own.

Hopefully the spotty data we've been seeing is a symptom of the unofficial nature of the rollout, and that it will be regularized by the time they make it official. I hope. Oh, Jebus, I hope. That said, as long as I get a good signal in DC, it's consistently 20+ Mbps down, and that was before the official launch.

This only confirms my theory that Sprint monitors this forum and likes to screw with us.

Some major helicopter weird going on Sensorly.

I took a little drive around uptown tonight. I am a Sensorly addict.

Does it require anything other than downloading the file and putting it into the proper directory? I'm presently stock OG.

Eatel used to be THE Sprint affiliate in the Gonzo/BTR market. I worked retail sales for them back when I was in college, and Sprint had zero say in the day-to-day of the business. It wasn't until shortly after I left that Sprint took over (at least the branding). Back then, we actually sold dual band PCS/Analog phones. Crazy.

Word on the internets is that Sprint is now slowly pushing the 4.1 update to the OGs. We'll see, I've been waiting for it since it was due for release in Q4 2012. I'm still contemplating rooting it and putting a 4.2 rom on it. Other than that, it's a crazy fast phone with a great screen, and the battery is surprisingly robust. I contemplated a last minute audible to the Note 2, but the practicality of the large size ended up scaring me away.

Hey, the LG Optimus G might even have Jelly Bean by April!

FYI, nothing in Gonzales by I-10 as of last night.

While stopped at the light. It's an LTE miracle!

As promised, the photos. First, the photos of the tower: Next, LTE Engineering screen captures from: Poydras and Loyola - Note the serving cell! Napoleon and Freret Dufossat and Tchoup Tchoup by the Winn Dixie All measurements were made at ground level in my car. If the photos are too fuzzy, yell at LG for putting a crap 13MP camera in their flagship phone. I never was able to get a decent speed test on 65. I was, however, able to pick up a -125 signal from 65 at Washington and Jeff Davis.

FYI, that dark purple on Claiborne near Napoleon is pollution. I'm getting about - 115 on 65 a few blocks north and on the second floor.

And 403 by the time you hit the Winn Dixie. When I was going up to Poydras, I alternated between 59 and 65. 65 down Napoleon, and then again back up Jefferson. I can't figure out how to upload photos from my phone. I hope to get to a real computer tonight. Got a shot of the tower and screens of cell ID and power.
