Sprint Iphone Evdo Only?
 
Does anyone know if the sprint iphone can be switched to evdo only mode. I'm in an area that has evdo, but the 1x is stronger and my phone always switches to 1x. My palm pre has the ability to switch to evdo only and it helps when tethering, so I was hoping that the iphone would allow you to switch to evdo only mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it does, I'll be purchasing the phone asap, if not, I'll have to wait until I can get a good evdo booster.

Since I'm with Big Red, I don't know the answer to your question. I did do a little searching on some of the forums that I regularly check for Apple stuff and really didn't find an answer for you. Sorry.

Thanks for looking rainfreak, I appreciate the effort. I think I'm still going to take the plunge. Just waiting on some funds, although I've been reading about some battery issues with the 4s, so I may wait until its resolved.

You're welcome! I have heard the same issues regarding the battery life on the 4S, albeit not that common of a problem. I will tell you that Apple absolutely stands by their products, so if you are having problems, you will get good results.

Also, you could look at getting the iPhone 4 for the time being. I think Sprint still has a 30 day return policy on their devices, and it would give you time to get used to the iPhone while you wait for the battery issues to be resolved with the 4S models. Plus the iPhone 4 is cheaper than the iPhone 4S, so it could get you into one quicker :)

Ordering 4s now.

Good for you! Oh, and they have already found a fix for the battery issues!

Apple seeds iOS 5.0.1 to developers, ‘fixes bugs affecting battery life’ | 9to5Mac | Apple Intelligence

That will be in the developer's hands for about a week or two and then it will be pushed out across the iPhone and iPad platforms. I know, I am a registered iOS developer :)

They won't be able to fix the slow speed issues That's been plaguing iPhone 4S and other sprint users with a software patch. That's on sprints end.

Actually a software update can fix the issue. There have been plenty of software updates on htc and motorola phones that improve data speed. But part of the problem is Sprint but they have said they are working on it and in some cities improvements have been noticed. I'm still waiting for an improvement in my area.

@yankees45us well I've been waiting 9 months for my improvement and there isn't one, just broken promises. They have until whenever my HD7 gets delivered to improve my speeds or else I'm taking my business to T-mobile, ETF or not. Not to mention that T-mobile also owns 3 towers in my city unlike sprint.

I am trying to help build more support for Apple products here at PPCG. But, until that has happened, I also check on the following sites:

iPhone Forum

iPhone - MacRumors Forums

https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone

iPhone and iPad Forums

My iphone 4s from sprint will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get it. I think I'll try this website out for to see if it can jailbreak or not Features - JailbreakiPhone4S.com

I don't care if it's tethered or not. I just need to use my phone as modem without paying the extra money.

rainfreak 11-10-2011 11:49 PM

Re: Sprint Iphone Evdo Only?
 
Nice! Please let us know if the jailbreak process works from that site, because there are plenty of others that would be willing to pay to jailbreak their iPhones.

I got my phone tonight, put the zagg full body skin on it. Going to wait until tomorrow to activate and play with it. I want to make sure the zagg has time to set. I hope the air bubbles work themselves out. I think I'm going to hold out on jailbreak until there is something official on one of the forums. Now that I got the phone, I'm afraid to try that site, since they never email me back.
