Not necessarily. It reallly depends.
If the phone is continually going back and forth between 1x and evdo, then yes this will help.
My home has zero cell service, and I have an airave there... so perfect 1x signal. If i leave my phone sitting around overnight on hybrid mode (default) I lose 6% battery overnight... 100% repeatable. If I force 1x only it goes down to 4% overnight.
So a 2% difference over 8 hours. The big drain comes when it switches because the device wakes up when it switches.
