1X???
Ok, guys. Is it advisable or not advisable to set to 1x to save battery? I don't use EVDO or even download. Somebody said you get better reception without changing it. Thoughts? Thanx. 😎

i set mine to 1x only and the battery life is better.

hey, i was just curious how did u set your fone to just 1x, and turn of ev-do, i have sw version 07, maybe that is the difference.
thanks
...
So if one just uses Mobile Web and not the V-Cast service is there any reason at all to have EVDO on?
Could someone provide instructiosn to turn it off?
TIA!

If you have EVDO service in your area then I can't see why you don't use the free mobile web service to check your available minutes, monthly billing info, etc... all free if you don't use the other web stuff. In addition, don't any of you use the *228 OTA updating? The PRL is downloaded using the highest available speed so...
But in the end, if you don't notice the difference and you 'do' notice a batt difference then I guess it makes sense...
...
95% of all OTA calls are within 35-55 seconds. If you notice a real world difference in battery life will losing a few seconds on the OTA call every month or 2 kill you?

i assume you mean outside the home area? i work outside my home area, so theres a lot of calls that arent on my home network.
