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.
