Help Evo not displaying network status (1x Vs. EvDO)

[samplerate]

Anyone else notice that "3G" seems to be a collective status for both the 1xRTT network and the EvDO network. I have been in several remote areas lately, places where I KNOW FOR A FACT that there is no EvDO for miles, yet it still displays that "3G" icon.

Is there a way to make it display the data status by network (IE 1X, Ev, and 4G)? As opposed to the ominous "3G" and "4G" statuses which leave me wondering why bandwidth intensive apps like youtube and pandora are crashing because of lack of bandwidth.

thanks in advance!
