I am trying to set up my evdo connection to shut down in 10 min after no use. In Schaps Advanced config under connection settings, the Sprint connection has 3 settings:
Disable
Enabled
Always on
then following that it allows you to set the network time out.
My question is do I want the Sprint setting to be always on or just enabled?
if u do this setup to were it will turn off after a few min then it will change the reg to gprs_standby (or whatever) instead of #777.
while the internet will still work, when u are using your data connection and someone calls you. it wont allow u to pick up the phone. i had this and turned it off for that reason. just alittle fyi
I'm still trying to find out what the different settings mean.
Enabled
Disabled
Always on
I not real concerned about the incoming calls so much while on the internet.
What is the difference between Enabled, and always on?

As a battery saving technique I have been in the habit of forcing the radio to radio 1X only (no EV-DO) whenever I know I don't need heavy data usage. This method still allows my exchange server to sync by push, but internet browsing is way slow. So if I am going to need browsing, I switch back to EV-DO.
But to to this, as far as I know, requires going into EPST and changing the Modem Setting Preferred Mode to "CDMA Only".
Unfortunately this method requires a soft reset to make it work which is fine if you don't need EV-DO speed downloads for a few hours/days. But if you want to switch between 1X and EV-DO quickly its not a workable solution.
Does anyone know a method of changing from "1X only" to "EV-DO" and back without going into EPST and without a soft reset?

do you have a 'mode of operation' page under phone settings?
if not, it will show for all carriers on next release...
i can look up the reg to unhide the setting for you when i get home.
Thanks dcd. I was a bit worried about that "Mode of Operation" setting because my phone doesn't have it available. A search through the forums mentioned that setting but because my phone didn't have it I assumed that the titan/WM6.1 didn't support it.
Now that I know it is a reg hack to make it viewable I will have a look in the registry. If I can't find where to change the setting myself I will await your answer.
just search your registry for HiddenModeOperationPage
OK found it.
If anyone else is interested in using "1X only" to save battery power AND the "Mode of Operation" item is missing from Start-->Settings-->Phone-->Services tab then you need to edit the registry using PHM Registry Editor (or similar).
Go to HKLM>Software>OEM>PhoneSetting and then change the the Reg_Dword called HiddenModeOperationPage from value 1 to value 0.
Then you will have the ability to switch between 1X, EV-DO and Hybrid in the phone settings page. There is a warning in the registry that says that if you select EV-DO you will lose the ability to make voice calls (presumably because EV-DO only supports data not voice and data like 1X). Therefore I would assume the options you should choose are really between 1X and Hybrid.
Thanks dcd for the help. Hope it assists anyone else looking to save battery power.
So if you're like me you prefer to text somebody instead of call (except the wife/fiancee/gf of course ) and you may notice if you have your data connection on that the phone switches from 3G to 1x briefly then back again. This switching drains the battery a lot. See post 4 for a better way to do it.
What's the difference between doing this and going into wireless settings and turning of 3g data.
Also, you can long press the end call button and turn off mobile data as well...

All turning off the mobile data does is disconnect you from the data completely. This allows you to keep your data but just stay in 1x. I tried it too and it worked beautifully. I texted all day and turned location on and syncing my Gmail on and everything and it does make a difference.

You don't need to reboot anything.
When my battery is getting low, and I have to save it, I just use this for call/text.
Turn off Mobile Network (otherwise it will still connect to internet at 1x, and for MORE time, since it has to mvoe the same data as 3g)
Then get AnyCut from Market (well, turn 3g on for that if you need to get it, lol)
Long-press on home screen
Shortcut
Anycut
Activity
CDMA Call options (the second of the two 'cdma options' lists).
You can change this setting on the fly, just hit 'Mode of Operation' (don't mess with that other stuff unless you want your phone to be useless as a phone)
You DON'T need ##778 to do it, and/or to Reboot.
You just change it on the fly.
Be sure to change it to 'Hybrid' when you want your normal 3g/1x switching to happen. Be aware that whenever you open the CDMA settings >mode of operation that the button will default to 3g Only (as if you selected it before, which you didn't) so be sure to hit 1x only or Hybrid, depending on what you want.
Selecting 3g Only will STOP calls and texts from coming in properly. You have to MAKE a phone call in order for your texts to send, because making a phone call will force your phone to go to 1x.

Dude awesome! First post updated.
Running KaosFroyo V30...
The two 'CDMA Options' lists don't contain the options you describe.
The first of the two CDMA options only had 'roaming select'...
auto/affiliated nets/home
And the second only had 'voice privacy' as an option.
There are no other 'cdma options' in the anycut list....

Talk to punk.kaos about it. Apparently he didn't cook something in his ROM that is needed to do this. It didn't have EPST when I tried it.
Since i got my OG, i always have used 3G / 4G connection
but sometimes i want save some battery and use EDGE or GPRS connection as many people here in Brazil does, but i dunno how!
how to do that?
thanks!
-settings
--wireless and networks
---mobile network
----network mode
-----GSM only
that's it
didn't have this "Network mode" in my phone...
some alternative way to do that?

To get the network mode menu you can edit build.prop if you're rooted.
A tool like "Android Tuner Free" makes it easy to backup your build.prop and change it, if you don't already have a favored method.
The entry to change is "ro.radio.networkmode" and it is probably set to "disable". Set it to "enable", reboot your phone, and you will have the network mode menu available. But, I'm pretty sure changes made in this menu revert upon rebooting (maybe that is what the next setting in there, "ro.radio.topreviousmode" is for - I didn't touch it).
Hi,
I am wondering if there is a possibility (some tweak/registry change) to set the option (found at Settings-All-Personal-Phone-Network) Network selection to Manual instead of Automatic. Every time I restart the device, the option is set to Automatic. This causes a problem due I live near the boarder and every time I loose domestic signal, the phone connects into the roaming which I did not want.
Thanks in advance.
Would of thought that would be tricky as radio takes time to initialize on boot plus the manual option require manual selection of operator !
Can you not control this by 'Set Networks' settings for networks chosen & unticking ones don't want connect to, I had similar issue with a roaming sim I wanted on specific network & it worked for me.
Thank you for answering, but
1. I can not find a option "Set networks" in (in Settings-Phone-Network) which can be unticked,
2. I need sometimes (by going abroad) also this operator, so I do not want to cut him off complete.
I thought there must be a tweak possibility to start the device with manual network selection. A lot of phones remember the last choice Automatic/Manual after restart...
well it in phone settings > network & right by side of the drop down to select auto or manual network selection 'Set Networks' .
Don't think you will get it to work as smoothly as you would like but worth having a play with this setting if you find it, any network operators unchecked can be rechecked when needed.
You could also try another radio version such as one in my signature ...
I didn't even notice this till the other day but the M9 has IP6 enabled by default. Just an idea but they could be related to some of the data problems this phone has had such as some apps not working, etc. Sprint appears to have fixed most of it on the back end however I would still like to disable IP6 anyway. I did give the app Disable IPv6 [root] a try however this just disabled IP6 for the wi-fi connection and not LTE.
I noticed in the PDN internet settings, the IP Version is set to IPv4v6 by default. When I change it to IPv4 only, the phone will no longer connect to LTE at all. It also appears to clear the APN settings out so even if you change it back to the default, I was unable to reconnect to LTE until I did a profile update.
The phone gets a 10/10 score on http://test-ipv6.com/ but again I think this might be causing some of the issues and would just like to disable IP6 all together. You can also verify your IPv6 addy in the 4G settings menu it will show your IPv6 addy. Any ideas how to force this back to ipV4 and still connect to LTE?

You are under the assumption your provider is even handing out IPv4 on LTE........ Sprint may not be.

It looks like that may be the case unless I need to change another setting. LTE won't get a connection if set to ipv4 like I said. Although my M8 would pick up an ip4 address on LTE so this could be a more recent change. If I set the phone to CDMA it will draw a ip4 address but this phone can't hold a 3G connection and just bounces to 1X all the time.
