i have my tp as 1x over evdo and i was wondering that if i keep like that what will happen if i get a picture message? is there any program to make it switch to evdo or something then back to 1x?

Picture messages should still theoretically get to you. 1X still supports data transfer, just at a much slower speed. At least this is my understanding of the 1X/EVDO difference.

well i knew it would transfer but i was wondering if there was a program that allowed for the tp to go back to evdo when stuff like pic messages comes through then back to 1x

I doubt that there would be a tweak/program with such a specific purpose, but you never know with the programmers on XDA and ppcgeeks. The time difference of transferring a picmail on 1x and EVDO shouldn't be too drastic anyway. Picmails usually aren't much larger than 100 or so kb,which would only take a few extra seconds to download

Are you using the PicMail from sprint ? or something else? Or is the EVDO 1X just your concern?

Nothing in particular I thought you were using the PicMail from Sprint for some reason .. I thought you were having those sort of problems. .... mmmm about the EVDO/1X as the other person said I believe there is no way to force one over the other one ... sorry partner!

this is exactly what happens to me when i have it to stay in 1x when i get a picture message

I will get the message in 1x but then if i go to switch it back into hybrid it is stuck in 1x and i have to soft reset the device.

i went camping not too long ago, KADU I GOT YOUR FISH, and i had to put it in 1x only to save battery because i could not get evdo.

I would turn it back on hybrid when i would come home to stay there for awhile or to go to town to pick stuff up then i noticed problems.

i wasnt able to get any picture messages. at one time i had to send myself a pic message then i would be able to get the other messages people sent to me. THEN the next day i couldnt even do that and i had to hard reset.

just try it out and give us your results. it will be much appreciated

as explained in the rest of the posts,
he wants it to switch to evdo when he gets a pic message, then switch back to 1x afterwards.
