So EV means you are on the Sprint network and 1X means you are roaming?

I ask because i have the issue with the battery also. It sucks.

Also, when you have "data" turned on in the comm manager, does that run your battery excessively too? Like what I mean is, does it automatically connect when you receive a text or message, therefore it would be smarter to leave it of, rather than all the time?
