Help want to do the gsm-cdma trick, but the menu wont show up with the dialer?

[chrisco_kid]

ok so i found how to do the gsm-cdma trick on here by putting in *#*#4636#*#* via the phone pad on my evo, so i tried it and the test menu doesnt show up, the numbers and *# just disappear leaving me with an emptied number display, and the thread said it could take a second, so i left it alone to see if itd automagically pop up if i dont tinker with it, and still nothing, is there something im doing wrong? mine is stock, just got it yesterday with the 2.2 froyo update. any help would be greatly appreciated as my TWS is around 50% usually.

and yes i have updated the prl.

Download the free Network app from the Market. (Network by Philipp Mangelow)

Start it, and scroll down until you see "CDMA auto (PRL)" - change it to "GSM auto (PRL)" - exit Network; re-start Network then change back to "CDMA auto (PRL)" - and finally, go to Menu-> Settings-> System updates-> Update PRL

The dialer no longer works in 2.2 - you must use Network app.

(Actually odd that you found the dialer reference in here without the Network update - I'd thought Dreamliner caught all of those... oh well, the above will work.)

PS - Welcome to the forum!

well that really clears it up! thanks alot, i figured it was disabled from the way it reacted, now im just waiting for 2.2 root, thanks again.

oh btw is this a permanent fix or will i have to do this everytime i boot up?

You should only have to change it once even if you Factory Reset -- at least I didn't have to when I did.
