yep its always 1x for calls, thats why you cant surf and chat at the same time. at least not until 4g. =)

see, that's what I had to come to believe and accept as fact myself. The sad truth of the matter is that I remember way way back when I had my PPC-6700 (predecessor to the mogul) and it was more than capable of performing both tasks at the same time. I was if it had two seperate radio transmitters working side by side instead of having to switch from one to the other.

I've read a debate on what you wrote above in the past & from what I recall, Sprint were testing some EV_DV equipment but chose to go with VZW's selection of EV_DO as the platform of choice.

You can however surf the web and talk if you use WiFi on your phone.

Question,

Sometimes/most of the time after a call or text I get stuck in 1x, even if I have full bars.

So what I have to do is: go into airplane mode then turn off the airplane mode then it goes back to EVDO.

Is there a fix for this?
