EVDO is high speed internet, 1X is about 3x the speed of dialup(in other words, slow)

You should in theory keep your phone in 1X anytime you aren't using data.

My toggle 1x makes this easy. If you keep your phone in 1X while texting(if you do a lot), you will save hours of battery.

When in EVDO and texting, your phone must switch to 1X to send and recieve which KILLS the battery, intensive drain.

If you keep it in 1X, it won't switch and will save battery. Just hit the icon to switch into Hybrid(where it will have EVDO if available) when you want to use the web or something, then switch back into 1X when done.

You mentioned battery drain occured because of constant switching between EV/1X, this will eliminate it and keep it only in 1X.


Hope that helps,
