For those that are interested, change HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting... change HiddenModeOperation from 1 to 0.

To recall that, go into your Phone options... then hit mode of operation, get settings, change from hybrid to EVDO. This will force EVDO. Beware though, if you don't change it back, all calls and texts will not go through and you can't make calls either. This is strictly for tethering!

Thanks!! This is also useful if you're in an area or building (several buildings on campus for me) where the phone goes back and forth from EVDO to 1X. By setting it to 1X, I still get my calls and texts, but my battery lasts a lot longer not having to cycle between towers all day long.
