Force 1x Data? - Page 2

I have been lurking, following this issue for my Sprint TP2. It was stuck in 1x and, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get it back into EVDO. I was on the verge of returning the phone.

These settings, tweaked for the opposite purpose, saved me a huge hassle. Thanks!

dial ##778
talk
select Edit
Enter unlock code its : 000000
select View Info (on the bottom left)
Select Modem Settings
Press and hold on "Preferred Mode"
Choose Edit
Then select cdma only

The device will reset and you will be 1x only

I dont know if there is an easier way.

How dare you request an unlocker? J/K
Actually, yes this is a great temporary solution for me! Thanks!

if you do the reg hack, then you pick "EVDO" in the (Mode of Operation) ...but remember you will bypass any phone calls and texts since they use 1X and you are forcing EVDO.

But the Reg hack is not working on the Sprint TP2. Hopefully someone figures it out. For now the ##778# Menu is a temp solution, which requires a MSL on Sprint.

I chose the CDMA option within the ##778# menu. Is this the right one? I know it is for 1x, not sure for forcing EVDO.

Yep, CDMA only forces 1x, not sure about forcing EVDO, maybe try CDMA HDR.

My battery life has definately doubled after forcing 1x.

Has anyone figured out how to enable the 1x option under the phone menu yet?

hey guys, im pretty sure that there is a program someone made that will "force" 1X and let u pick other applications that need to use 3G/edvo (meaning that when u open these applications youve assigned to 3G they will open 3G but when u close them 1X will be back)...its suppose to save battery power especially if youre a heavy texter...i cant remember the program but if someone finds it they should post a link

Hmm...

Allow me to get this right.. if I force EVDO to be active, I won't get any calls or texts at all whatsoever? So much for hopes that I would be able to engage in a conversation and browse the web at the same time...

Was this an issue with original TP1s?
