I just bought the phone a couple of days of go and i'm loving it. the only thing concernig me is battery life. i've read that you turn off EVDO to avoid losing battery. i feel stupid because usually im able to figure things out on phones but i can't find how to turn it off. any help would be appriciated
...
I'll give you a lame ass bump because I'm looking for the same answers.
Anyone know?
...
Well...I looked at some other web sites and this is how you do it
Menu-0000000-Network Select-Mode Preference-1X only.
Hope it helps..I know I am trying it.
...
Dumb questions....does disabling the EVDO make the GPS VZ Navigator and/or the Get It Now functions un-useable? I can't see why that would be related but I'm not sure I fully understand what EVDO even is, except that it allows broadband access?
...
Well I am still able to use all my functions such as get it now and the internet...not sure about the GPS...All I think it does is stop the broadband capability (High speed Transfer)...but not too sure....If anyone else know please comment
...
Vcast uses EV-Do, which is a data network that allows for broadband speeds. Get it Now, VZ Navigator, and Mobile Web use 1x, a slower speed data network.
It's likely that I will get this phone. Does anyone know if you can disable all data (digital service only) because I rarely use any of these things and all I know is that my old AT&T TDMA phones (digital only no data) got exceptional battery life while my current VZW phone Audiovox 8910 uses 1x and battery isnt nearly as good.
...
Well when you go to the network mod Preferences
the choices are
Digital only Hybrid
Digital only Non Hybrid
Hdr
1X only
I hope this helps...not sure what any of it means myself. especialy the hybrid
...
What are the differences in these modes?? Can cahnging it damage my phone at all?
thank you!
