Is there a way to force EVDO only on TP2?
 

Is there a way to get this phone to use EVDO only. I use it at work for internet and do not want to be interrupted by text or phone calls. It would appear that the reg edits on the TP1 dont work and no one has really found a soultion for this yet.

Please someone smarter than me figure this out so I dont have to listen to the rotten music at work an longer.

in short yes there is a way but if u do u will not be able to make calls or receive texts....if u still want to use it do this


- Go to HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting

- Look for the file "HiddenModeOperationPage"

- Edit "HiddenModeOperationPage" from 1(default) to 0

Once you have changed the settings exit and go to:

Start > Settings > Phone > Services

then click mode of operation and select the one u want

Forgive me if I do not seems patient, it looks like this thread was just started today. Nice to see I am not alone.

I tried the above suggestion also, as I did with my TP1, and it does not seem to work on the TP2.

I called verizon and they said to dial *7650 to lock out calls and text msgs to avoid data interruptions. Then Dial *765 to go back to normal.

This does not seem to force EVDO, but only locks out calls and I still have 1x showing.

I have seen a few posts about setting home area only, etc. and they do not seem to force evdo either.

Anyone figure this out yet?

Do the custom ROMs fix this issue?

I even tried comparing the settings of a TP1 to the TP2 to get the Mode of Operation page working. No go..it won't show up. It's like it isn't even in the software.

i am alittle confused. why would you want only evdo if you could stop others from calling during your data session with a * code? only thing that would happen now is when evdo drops to a low signal you Wont have 1x to fall back on to keep the connection from dropping all together..sry if I seem dense just not seeing the point.

Just for the sake of finding out the issue I will try to find the missing strings then test it. GL.

I seem to be locked into 3g now, my problem as it turns out is that I live in the middle of no where (Nevada) and didn't have any evdo coverage at the time.
