EVO and Airave?

[JaxChris]

The EVO does not determine whether 6 bars of RTT or 2 bars of EVDO is faster, it will just default to the highest technology level available. That is how all EVDO enabled CDMA chipsets work. If EVDO is available it will use it first. Only when you start a call would it search for the strongest RTT signal and connect to your Airave.

The Airave isn't capable of changing how a wireless chipset operates. In my kitchen my EVDO signal drops low enough that it searches for RTT and finds the Airave (on both my old TP's, my old TP2, my girlfriend's TP2, and my new Evo), but everywhere else in the house our data is EVDO and we only hit the Airave when making or receiving a call.

Setup a bandwidth usage monitor on your home network and you'll see that your not connected to the Airave unless you are on a call or when you have absolutely zero EVDO signal... regardless which phone you use.

WinMo asked Sprint what time it is. Android sends Google your location and asks what time it is. Since your home IP is geolocated with your ISP to Chicago, Google thinks your phone is in the Central Time Zone and sends you that time to your phone.

Call your ISP and ask them to correct the geolocation of your IP address to fix the problem.

Gave it a shot Jax, renewed my ip and checked it and it's in my hometown so I unplugged the airave for a few then plugged it back in to reset it too. I'll keep you guys posted if it works!

Well no dice, still knocking my clock back it has to be something to do with the airave because I checked my i.p. address and it's local but this is quite annoying.

Well Sprint called me back today and made some setting changes to my airave and BINGO it works just like it should! If anyone is having problems with their airave give the airave tech people a shout cause they fixxed me right up and I'm a happy camper now!

So is your location correct when on the airave as well now? If so I'll have to try giving them a call.

I know it has to do somethign with my line because I bought the evo under a different line it was fine then switched it to my line and got that I was in Canoga Park when I live about 80 miles south of canoga.

Ha ha I thought I was the only one who was having this issue. I live all the way near Ontario California and it's giving me Canoga Park as my city.

I thought I was alone with this issue, I'm in CT and always get NY as my location... I'm gonna give em a call today.
