Evdo droping to 1x
 

After upgrading to the new gps rom, i have noticed that When i try to connect to net i am showing conn to evdo towers, but to connect my icon drops to 1x has any other alltel user seen this and is there a way to stick to evdo? w/o foricing it to not connecet to anything other than evdo speeds?

yes, I have noticed this and I have no idea why and how to fix it.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

It switches to 1x on Sprint DCD 3.0.1 allot also. I think I saw a phone setting that forced it to only use EVDO on one of the previous ROMs that I have used but I don't see that option on this ROM.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

I had this issue in the dc area for about 2 days back in february... then phone wentv back to normal evdo connectivity. haven't had any problems since...

whatever it is you can be fairly sure that it's a network issue and not just your phone...

my suggestion is just to wait it out a few days.

Here's what helped me. This drove me crazy until I figured out what I needed to do. It seems that sometimes the new ROM or Radio or something causes security settings to change. Go to EPST, edit, and check under the security settings. For Alltel, the 2nd line down, HDR AN AUTH Password, should read your hex esn, NOT "alltel". Change it to your 8 digit hex esn, reboot, and, at least for me, it made all the difference.

I changed my phone settings under roaming options to "Sprint only." Since making the change...I haven't been dropping to 1X.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

but JD are you a sprint customer or alltel?

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

oddly, I cant roam on altell's EVDO anymore since the upgrade either. Never used to have a problem. Im on sprint.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

I have aways noticed the mogul going into 1x when I am getting a txt message or a call. Is any of this going on when you guys are having this problem?

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

I have the same problem on sprint.. also when i have a data connection active.. the signal bars start jumping from 0 to 3, 0 to 4, and so on.. I dont know whats causing this.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

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

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

Im on sprint and I got some weird symbols there.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

ya so did i after my upgrade had some comas or someting i just put in my hex esn and now works fine

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

good to know you're back to normal...thanks for letting us know.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

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.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

are you sure yr just not sending a texts i seen it go to 1x wen texts is sent out so might just be that

LIke how do i get to the EPST to edit all this.... Im still on stock rom and looking into upgrading and i wanna know how to do this so when i get done upgrading mine i can change it to fix this issue....

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

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.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

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.

Re: Evdo droping to 1x
 

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.
