With the 60655 PRL update ; no noticeable changes between the EV-1X switching here and 0-1bars with straight switch to 1x on placing outgoing calls. Was this a hit or miss workaround/solution for some people?

Voice calls are handled on 1x, thats normal.

Unless you are just unlucky to be in bad signal coverage area for 3G so it keeps switching back to 1x. If navigation has been good around town, it could be a little black hole in their tower coverage that you are unfortunately in.

Cool thanks y'all -

Sprint is doing 2 things for me atm :

1. Told me that I need to get a new replacement TP2 since they noticed several device related dropped calls from tower-device (whatever that means? )
2. Sending me an airave with waived monthly and unit fees - so hoping that will be good.

The EV stays on longer than before - not sure if the profile update had helped for that. Nonetheless, I can connect to my home Wi-Fi via WPA2-PSK.

Does Wi-Fi (when selected) and data stay on simultaneously? I did notice that certain sprint services (i.e. SprintTV) didn't run if I had Wi-Fi enabled -

I'm really loving this device - as my first smartphone and let alone camera phone to add = this was the perfect upgrade So I've got much of the basics to learn prior to diving into any of the cool topics going on here...

I didn't know that when placing voice calls the "EV" switches to 1x - so good to know!

* 2 other thing:

> was there a quicker way to switch between programs? so far I've been just going to my task manager shortcut and tapping the program there or killing it otherwise.

Does the "data slider" (apart from other options from within the data menu) within comm manager need to be enabled to on if I'm not using Wi-Fi?
