Ev mode keeps dropping to 1X after Radio and ROM update

[xljaylx]

I have one issue. When I start up the phone it is in Ev mode. When I go on the internet for one it is slow then the Ev changes to 1X. It never did that before when i was on the stock USCC ROM and Radio. Also now when I use google maps it is much slower I am assuming b/c of 1X mode. Yes now GPS works but Data is slower. After it goes to 1X it does not go back to Ev Mode. I dialed *228 to update the PRL but that did not do the trick. Am I missing anything.

Here is what I updated to :
Radio: 3.42.40
ROM: dcd 3.3.4
PRL version: 15069
PRI 1.32._013
US Cellular

Thanks
