Forcing 1x over EVDO

[MrObvious]

Just Google Mortscript and do a search for "texting and battery life" without the quotes and see if my thread comes up. It's not automatic but you can switch it pretty easy. Just place a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

I don't like this tweak b/c when somebody sent me a text, I would get like 3 of the same texts for every text they gave me...it was weird....so I guess hybrid it is!

I dont think this would help any because talking on the phone u use 1x and it still drians it big time.

[mulhiny]

it helps if you text a lot.

I guess this is the tweak I cabb'd up that MrObvious is talking about.

You need mortscript installed, I think most ROMs have some form of it(if not, intxROM has it /end advert)


Just install the cab, it places a shortcut on your start menu.

This will only work if Mode of Operation is 8 settings down on the menu.

Yeah that's actually what I use. Thanks intx. I'm just teaching the n00bs to search.

But yeah if you see over 100 texts a day I would suggest this, or if you live in a fringe area.

Hope this isn't a complete hijack of this thread but the following seems related. I've asked this question on a couple forums with no response:

Although my Sprint Diamond Touch shows generally pretty good reception (good bars) most places, the signal strength is fairly weak at my home, which is in a bit of a valley. Apparently whenever the phone has to cycle between communication modes (EVDO to 1X? and back) due to weak signal, it comes out of hibernation and lights up the screen for the default period, goes off, and then after a short period comes on again. This can happen every several minutes indefinitely. I wouldn't mind, I suppose, but this is a little disconcerting in the middle of the night, and I hate to run down the battery unnecessarily.

This behavior does not occur away from home (or when all comms are turned off) which tends to reinforce the idea that it is signal strength related.

Do I have any options, other than keeping the phone in airplane mode when I'm at home and have home phone available? Any software or setting available to defeat this turn-on-screen-when-signal-strength-low behavior?

Or am I mistaken and the screen is cycling for another reason? Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,
Mike

Just run the Intx Mortscript cab (install Mortscript first) and leave it in 1x. That or put your phone next to the window. *grin*

Hey guys,
So I installed this (8 down) .cab, but when I go to run it, the following error occurs:
Unknown command 'sendspecial'
Line SendSpecial("Down")

Any ideas what's wrong?

I'm running MR4, which should be WM 6.1
