I am curious as to if there is any way to determine if the radio is in EVDO Rev A mode or Rev 0 mode similar to how you can tell if it's in 1X mode.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,

Hi gurus
i heard that theres a hidden setting in htc touch pro so we can make the evdo keep still and not dropping to 1x
anybody can help we this ?
thanks in advance.....
help..... ..
You can set it up for EVDA only, but where there is no 3G coverage you will get no data at all..... I wouldn't advise on this, keep it on hybrid
If you go to Start->Settings->Personal->Phone, then go the the Services tab, find Mode of Operation in the list and tap Get Settings, you can set it to EVDO only.
Now, keep in mind that your phone has to drop to 1x to receive phone calls and text messages, so while in EVDO only, you won't be able to get those. Also, if you move out of an EVDO coverage area, you will just lose signal completely.
If I recall, this option is not available on Stock ROM. At least, I don't remember seeing it until I installed a custom ROM. If you're on a stock ROM and don't have it, there's probably a Reg hack you can do to get it to show, but someone else will have to help you out on that one, cuz I'm not sure what it would be.
I would just stick to what it is and leave it. Would be better for you.
No 3G coverage = no data
But thats my opinion.
Hidden "mode of operation"
Hey man,trythis; install a registry editor then..HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\HiddenModeOperationPage
Change from 1 to 0
Save and soft reset
After resetting, go to:
Start > Settings > Phone > Services > Mode of operation
You will now have 3 choices, Hybrid (default), EVDO, and 1X. This is great for those stuck on the fringe areas of 1X and EVDO
It works on the Treo pro, might work on yours
its a visible option on my sprint TP with the HTC2.01 ROM
I'm having trouble getting my 3g to run like it says... If I choose cdma only I am able to get 1x only but I still haven't even seen the 3g icon and I would like to use 3g when the speeds sent necessary
Has anyone else come across this problem? Or have any ideas for me to try
Thanks in advance

So using the secret menu, I was trying different methods to see what signal strengths I was getting at my place, same spot. Interesting enough, the signal strength bars are different when using CDMA auto prl (4-bars) and EvDo only (2-bars) mode, even though I still see the 3g icon. Also, it seems the 1x radio is always on in every mode except EvDo only, plus I tried calling using all 5 modes.
Thus far, (1-yes, 0-no) I can make a call in mode:
CDMA auto PRL - 1
CDMA only - 1
EvDo only - 0
CDMA + LTE/EvDo - 1
LTE only - 1
so my question is, why can't I (and is anyone able to) make calls over EvDo only mode? When I place one, it hangs for a sec, and ends automatically saying "Call was lost". I was hoping to get better call quality (even if I can't have 4g speed), cuz right now calls sometimes sound muffled (but clear enough to understand), compared to when I had my nexus one on t-mo. (I tried eHRPD and EvDo-rev.a modes to no avail)
PS I know (atleast I read somewhere) that the T-Bolt cannot support calls over LTE itself, or VoLTE as it's called (unless if that's changed or I am wrong.)
Any thoughts? your experiences? I just want to get ppl's thoughts on this.
So... I guess no answers then?
Well, EvDO-only would not permit any voice calls because you've told the radio to only operate with a data signal. EvDO, or "Evolution-Data Optimized", is the 3G data component of CDMA wireless networks, so without a preferred network mode that includes CDMA you won't have any voice service.
when i had my phone on evdo only (stupidly thinking it was 1x) i couldn't make or receive any calls
evdo handles data, 1x handles calls/sms

Right. CDMA = 1x data and voice EVDO = data only. If you force the phone into a data only mode, voice will not function.
My SG2 is set up in network mode with GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode).
When I’m home the signal strenght, WCDMA, is -101 dBm 7asu and the voice quality is very bad, almost unusable.
When I manually switch to GSM the signal pops up to -73 and 15 asu and I can talk with a sound quality as it should be.
To me it seems that the phone doesn’t switch to GSM, or too late, when the WCDMA signal is bad.
I have tried quite a few different modems for the SG2 but I can’t see any difference between the versions. Maybe it’s the network provider that manage when to switch?
If would be great if someone could give me some info. on how the switching between WCDMA and GSM works, and the thresholds.
GSM auto (PRL) will favour GSM over 3G.
I am not sure if it will work with your network, but you can only try...........
There are a few apps around that will do it, or you can just use the following:
1. Phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*
2. Phone info
3. Set preferred network type to : GSM auto (PRL)
Edit: I am not sure if it will revert after a reboot.
This post was rather useful info, although different phone and network, principle is the same:

Hi guys, just a quick question here. My LTE (4g) is hit and miss so I currently have it set to WCDMA preferred/GSM.
Is there such an option that can give me WCDMA preferred/LTE? (So that my phone can automatically switch to LTE in areas where's its stronger than WCDMA)
If I have it on default LTE preferred it will only switch to WCDMA when LTE is non existant which is useless. I just want it to switch to what ever has the highest signal.
Cheers ?
