Not receiving calls in CMDA Only mode?

[Slack3r]

I switched my phone out of Global mode to CDMA only mode last night, in an attempt to help my battery life. It worked (thanks Toysrme), and I was still at 100% after 4 hours, but for some reason I'm not getting incoming calls. Only about 1/10 will go through, even when I have signal.

Could this be related to a reception problem? I have 2-3 bars of normal signal at my house, but for some reason I'm always connected to 3G even though I don't have any bars shown. This happens regardless of the mode, however, but all of my calls seemed to go through on global.

Have you soft reset since changing modes? Also I would call *228 and use option 2 to update your PRL. See if those help. Otherwise I'm not sure, but you should be communicating on the CDMA radio if you're a Verizon Wireless customer. Might want to contact them about that and see if they know why.

I did soft reset, but I didn't try to program/update it yet, maybe that would help. I'm going to try it later in the day when I can have a couple of people try calling me to see if the problem persists. There's something else that confuses me about the radios though; from what I understand, you can only be connected to either 1X or EVDO, not both at the same time? If that's true, my phone is constantly connected to EVDO at my house, but with a signal so weak not even one bar shows up. Would that effect call reception at all? I know it switches into 1X for calls, which i have 2-3 bars, but does it have to get a signal over EVDO first to switch over?
