I suppose you've already tried different radios like the 3.42.50 and changing PRLs?
The PRL change is what started all this. A couple of weeks ago I got auto-updated by Sprint. All of a sudden, my 1X started reading EV intermittently. Mostly when ending a call. So I decided to do the edit to force EV. Data works great. Yay. GPS, not so good. I switched back to auto and everything works, but the switching from EV to 1X is killing battery. I can save some battery if I switch off the data connection after use instead of leaving it idle. As I said before I'm looking to upgrade soon to either a TP2 or EVO so it's not a real issue and I imagine that Sprint's EV tower strength will get better in the near future.
