Forcing 1x Mode on Verizon
My house is in an area where my Verizon signal is poor.
Under standard configuration, my Motorola Q switches between 1x and EvDO fairly frequently.
As a result, my battery life is terrible.
Because of that, I've pretty much just left my phone in constant 1x mode. It's probably improved battery life by 50% and has always lasted the day under normal usage this way.
I change to 1x by dialing ##* and going through that hidden menu.
Is there any way a simple program could be written or maybe one already exists that would just allow me to run it to toggle between 1x (CDMA Only) and Automatic modes?
I envision something like the nodata program which allows me to toggle on and off data access.
Is the Automatic/CDMA Only setting just a bit in the registry?
Anyone have any thoughts here? It'd make it so much easier to switch back to EvDO if I'm in a high signal area and want to do some data access.
