In my opinion, if your device does this, there is no fix or hack that is going to make it better. You need to keep exchanging it until you get one that doesn't do this.

Also, switching back and forth between 1x and 3G from time to time is normal. It's when it switches to 1x and stays there, when you know damn well there's 3G coverage, is when there is a problem. I think anyone posting to this thread realizes that, but I just want to be sure. I actually gave one of the tier 2 techs the link to this thread a while back (he asked for it) and supposedly they are monitoring it.
