How do you Force 1x on CF03?

[meflaboy]

How do you force 1x on the Omnia? I have tried various dialer codes, various reg entries that use to work on my XV6800 and XV6700, but in the end I have nothing.

All I want is the "Mode of Operation" screen that says, "1x, EVDO, or Hybrid". But the Omnia mocks me.

Is this just so that you dont use data connection (i think to say it shortly is gprs?).

If thats the case then i just go to settings,connections,2cnd tab(advanced), select network management, then on the first one that says

Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
make is so that its My work Network

This should make it so that only wifi that is with the setting of my work network only connects.

Hope this helps

what if you went to start/settings/phone/advanced/ and selected mode of operation and clicked 1x? this is on a custom rom though so idk if you have it. sorry if you dont

Actually, the reason I'd want to know is to prevent the phone from "searching" for EVDO in a 1x-only coverage area. I don't know about the Omnia, but my last phone used a ton of battery doing this. Forcing it to 1x prevented this futile searching and about tripled the battery life in known fringe areas.

so could you do what i said? also there probably is a registry somewhere around here for that ill bet ya.

On CF03 there is not the settings as described (start/settings/phone/advanced/). I have searched this board, searched other popular boards dedicated to the Omnia have still have yet to find the solution.

The regedit that is made reference to is:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"HiddenModeOperationPage"=dword:0

This works fine for HTC devices, but not on the Omnia with CF03.

I need this because I am on a Network Extender. I have perfect signal on 1x, but my EVDO is barely usable. So my phone just eats my battery. When I actually need speed , I just throw on the wifi and I am good.

There has got to be a solution.

There's a good chance the EVDO settings are saved in the firmware buried in the CSC, which (unfortunately) the chefs don't have access to. I doubt it's a Windows Mobile registry setting because all of Verizon's phones switch to EVDO when it's available, incuding non-WinMo phones.

In other words, there's a good chance you are SOL

i think thats is said for this phone only as i can switch my phone to 1x only or evdo only if i wanted with the "mode of operation" setting

True, other phones may have the ability to force 1x/EVDO.

But again, I'm almost positive that the i910 Omnia's network settings are locked in the CSC
