This worked for me, still takes a min to connect but page to page is much better.. will have to remember this each time i flash my toy

here is something weird:

I go into epst, edit, security and look at HDR auth..... and my ESN(hex) is in there; I didn't have to change a thing. At that point i figured maybe it was some other prob, but now it is connecting as EVDO.

Oh well.

On your phone keypad dial ##778. You will have the choice to view/edit/or cancel. Press edit if you want to make changes. The unlock code for Alltel is 000000.

I know it changes to 1x during a call or text (like it should). However, when I was using the browser, it changed from ev to 1x. I only noticed the change when I got annoyed on how slow the internet speed was. Doesn't matter anymore, I'm connecting w/ evdo. Probably just so random fluke.

I have the same problem with evdo switching to 1x during a data session. Checked my epst settings and the hex number was entered. I must have signal issues as the meter only shows two bars.
