Force 1x Data?

Jamey · #1 (**permalink**) 10-27-2009, 10:57 AM

Anyone know how to force 1x? EVDO is killing me, especially in fringe areas. Had a quick way to do it on my Diamond via Mode of Operation, but can't get it to work with TP2. Any Hope?

This registry hack used to work with my Touch Pro, but does not with the Touch Pro 2. I'm wondering if there is another setting somewhere needed to unhide the Mode of Operation?

Enable hidden option of "Mode of Operation"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting

Change the option HiddenModeOperationPage from 1 to 0

Then go to Phone/menu/option/service/and check in the list, "Mode of Operation" should be at the bottom. You have 3 choices, Hybrid, EVDO, and 1X.
Once you have checked the box and hit ok. You can switch back and forth without having to soft reset.

I remember being able to change it in ##DATA# or ##DEBUG# menus, but can't remember how, or if it is possible that way with the TP2

I have tried the old reg edit and cannot get this to work either. Anyone have the solution?

you can't go to
start>settings>personal>phone>click services tab and is there an option in there?
not sure if it is or not, but that's how it is on my TP1.

I posted the same question in HF.

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.

What if we want to force EVDO, similar process?

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.
