1x of EV icon on evo?

I've had my evo since it came out a few months ago, and somethings been irking me: There's no way to tell which "kind" of 3G you're connected to. On my old Palm Pre, it would display either 1x or EV depending on which type of connection the phone had.

Does anyone know if the Evo3D has a way to change it so instead of saying 3G, it says 1X or EVDO? Is there a way to do this if you root your device or anything like that? This is kind of important when streaming and/or video chatting.

Mods feel free to move this to a different section if you believe it is more appropriate.

Thanks guys

 

Hmm, I have open signal maps installed, and sometimes i go in there and look at the connection details (the i button on the bottom right of the overview screen) and it says that connection type is 1xRTT even when the screen says 3G up top. Odd. I'll try to get a screen capture next time it happens

 

Gotcha. Thanks for the help guys. Ive been thinking about rooting lately. Going to start reading thru all the material out there. Any suggestions on a good custom rom to start with?
