i actually have my old touch pro and my new tp2 both active and have been using them together the past few days. i have to say in my area (columbia,sc) the phones function pretty much the same as far as signal.

i actually work right by the interstate and have a tower right by here. i usually get a great signal and EVDO. but since reading this thread i have realized that my tp2 is one 1x a good bit.

i did a *228 option 1 when i first got the phone, and then later i did and *228 option 2. well after reading this thread i did another *228 option 2.
well the phone reset and comes back up with EV, but quickly switches to 1x.

watching it now it seems to lose all bars when going to EV. or is that supposed to happen????

my old touch pro is right beside it and it seems to be holding on to that EV signal.

should i try that hybrid PRL? will that fix the issue of the phone not staying in EV mode?

**update
i am watching very close now and the phone seems to be going back and forth from 1x and EV.
also, when i get a call it switches from EV to 1X. also when its on EV i get maybe 1 bar, but when its on 1x i get 4 or 5 bars.
everytime i call it i watch it switch from EV and go to 1x. is that supposed to happen? when i hang up it goes back to EV with no signal.
your phone will always drop to 1x during a call or sending or recieving text.... thats why texting eats battery, your constantly switching from evdo to 1x and back and forth.... thats normal on that part...
