I upgraded to 2.1 and I'm trying to change what I believe is my data intake from 1X to hybrid. I can't find out where to change it. Does anyone know where i ca change it?

.... What?

Are you talking about mobile internet speeds? As in the G/3G/H symbols?

No on my phone to the left of the rising bars it says 1x I want to know how to change this

 

[Xyro]

Hmm, I've never heard of that.

Which side of the notification bar is it on? Items that are alligned on the right are system notifications, ones on the left are 3rd party apps. From what you said it sounds like a 3rd party app. Do you know which one?

I am sure it's not a third party app since it's right new to the rising bars. It says 1x and below it and two arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down.

You're talking about the 8 symbols in the top of the left column, right?

So you are talking about the mobile internet then Although I've never heard of it saying 1x before.

H stands for HSDPA, and to get it you need to set up your phone's APN list. Which network are you on? That will tell us which APN you need.

It's like GPRS connected to HSPA Connected except instead of of the letters on top it's a 1x. This option was available on android 1.5 where you were able to choose between 1x, hybrid, and something like EDO-Only or EVO-Only.

Are you on sprint/a cdma network by any chance?

Yes I am. Sprint

Ok then, that explains why I've never seen that before. You were posting in the GSM Hero section, not the Sprint/CDMA section. The two types of Hero are pretty different in a number of ways.

I've moved the discussion to it's own thread in the sprint section, so that you can get some proper answers from Sprint users

Thank you soo much.

 

[theotherjoe]

Please could someone help me with this?

if you're only getting 1x, then that's what you're getting. Chances are that's all that's available in your area. When you get 3G, it'll say "3G" or "Ev" where it currently says "1x"

But I've been all around new jersey, which is where i live, and new york and it's never changed. I can understand if I get 1x at my home but when I go into New York and other places it should change. Also my friend who lives right next door to me has a blackberry and his changes from 1x to EDVO when we go out. He is also on the sprint network. There has to be a solution

Bring up the phone dialer. type *#*#4636#*#* Go into Phone Information and scroll down. Make sure the preferred network type is CDMA auto(PRL) also go to menu>settings>about phone> software update> update PRL to make sure you're up to date.

 

[Joehunni]

Lol, built-in spare parts!

[Sixxx]

No problem killer.

I take it that worked?

Also, don't forget to reboot your phone after you update your PRL's. It should say 60667 or something like that, it ends in 667 anyways. You can view that by going to menu>settings>about phone>software information and scroll all the way down.

 

[Sixxx]

Yea, I never understood the point of installing spare parts when you can just do that and not have the app taking up space.

 

[theotherjoe]

Sorry this is a little late but that solution didn't help my phones connection and it still says 1x on the top. Please help.

Okay, so to get EV Bars up and down, you need to look at it this way, EV=3G

If you are not in a 3g zone, no EV

If you are not in a 3g zone, you get 1x

Make sense??

 

[tatonka_Hero]

Go to the Sprint store and ask them about it. It's possible you have a defective phone that won't pick up 3G.

I don't think any of you catch or read his post right lol.., "I'm trying to change what I believe is my data intake from 1X to hybrid." Assuming he use to be on a Android 1.5 ROM and he had changed his mode of operation to 1X only under mobile settings from hybrid. I as well wish to know how to do this in 2.1 ROM's.

The only answer I can provide to you right now theotherjoe, flash back to a 1.5 ROM and change the setting and then flash back to a 2.1 ROM.

so does anyone know if changing mode of operation is possible on 2.1 ROM's? I've tried but can succeed.

 

[Joehunni]

To my knowledge this isn't possible in 2.1, its essentially preset to hybrid.

 

[theotherjoe]

Sorry but I'm confused. What should I do to fix my problem?
