I appologize if this was asked before, but in all my searches I keep finding people wanting to force 1x over EVDO.
What I need is to force EVDO only without having to ##778# edit HDR only reboot every time. I need to do it some what like the TouchPro. At least without having to reboot every time.
My reasoning for needing this specific thing is in Lake Charles Sprint has been promising EV since before Hurricane Rita. They have been using that as an excuse as to why it is not available ever since. This is when I moved towards the forcing EVDO. I originally thought I was bouncing of a VW towers, but after talking to a buddy at sprint I find that all the EV towers are turned on, but not broadcasting the EV availabilty to peoples' phones.
Point being is since it is basically like a not broadcasted SSID on a router. When I was forcing EVDO on my TP I was using Sprints EV towers. So, I hope you can see my frustration with this specific situation.
Question:
Is there any way by regedit that is not the hidden modeofoperation (cause that don't work), or any freeware, something. That I can use to force EVDO only on my TP2 when I am using pure data connection without having to reboot the phone.
Note:
I am trying, if at all possible, to stay away from unlocking and flashing a custom rom. Not that I don't love everyone's work, but I get Flash Dance crazy and am always changing ROMs cause of a bug. This is the first Sprint factory ROM I have ever liked (slightly modified with addons of course).
Thank ya'll so much in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Solution (Work Around):
I am not a programmer or script writer. So, someone else is gonna have to do that part, but after about a week of aggrivated digging through my TP2 I found how to switch to EVDO Only without rebooting.
Open Registry Editor - Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\EPST - DWord entry PreferMode = 4 (Automatic) - Change Value to 10 (HDR Only) - Exit Registry editor - Disable and Enable Radio (I just go to comm manager and turn on/off Airplane Mode) - BAM EV Only without all the ##778# reboot junk
As far as I have searched, there has yet to be any solutions or workarounds for this CDMA EV Only that is kinda like the old Touch Pro way. Now if anyone cares please write a script or small macro that changes this registry entry from 4 to 10 and then disables and re-inits the phone radio. Then vice-versa. We can have a one button EV only swap for TP2 stock rom.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.
140 views and no replies. must be a tough one or i was too long winded. ill shorten it.
Need to force EVDO only without going through the whole ##778# reset.
Have tried old TP way of HiddenModeOperation and that 3G program which is nice but doesnt swap to EV
Do you realize that 3G on the tp2 is the same as EV?
yes. Its the EV that I am attempting to get. Even though the program was supposed to switch to 3g I am assuming due to it not being broadcasted as available it is not doing a true force EVDO. I only say this because when I do ##778# and edit the modem to HDR only preferred. After reset I get the EV symbol and speeds. Any other way I have tried I do not.
Thank you for your response.
try wmlonglife and maybe use it to force 3g

@OP i have the same problem! i cant get Ev/3G unless i go into ##PST# either. ive tried WMLongLife and its hot trash... too many bugs...
anyone else know of a solution?
I have attempted a few differents styles of using WMLonglife, but at best it changes EPST settings from HDR only to CDMA only and Preferred HDR off.
With seeing that be done, by that software without a reboot. It makes me wonder if the author of the program could simply update it for our specific situation.
If WMLongLife can change the settings then there must be a way for us to do it.
Force EVDO scripts Tp2 Rhodium CDMA
here are some wannabe scripts. i wrote them on word mobile while driving a company truck. These are the first scripts i have ever written for win mobile. They work for me for now. I will combine them into one button with an if then type scenario.
Please these are very amature and just to help others out afraid to mess with the registry. Note: this is only for the touch pro 2 CDMA. any other device i cant tell u what it will do.
This has MortScript and rk-FltMode in the zip. which i can in no way take credit.

Your program has the ability to switch back and forth between EVDO only mode and Hybrid mode, but it does not have the ability to give 1X only mode, which is what everyone is looking for. If you can, please update your program to give 1X only mode.
By the way, on TP2 you can easily get data-only mode (which is like EVDO only mode but I think it also allows data over 1X too) by going to Phone/Menu/Options/CDMA Sevices tab/DDTM Mode and select ON.
if i ever get time ill combine these all with selections. easily done with mortscript but takes me a minute being a noob. but i can quickly change values out for a separate 1x script for now
ok this zip has CDMA Only included. There is a WCDMA Only option but i dont know if that is what u wanted. just let me know

Is there a way for you to also provide a key for 1X only mode over the home network (not roaming mode)? It would be great if you could also put all these keys into one menu in the form of an app.

Sorry never mind what I said above in my last post. Your mortscript for the CDMA only option is the 1X only mode over the home network. Thank you so much for sharing this program. It saves a lot of battery when users in EvDo fring areas want to use Sprint's Airave, which runs over 1X only mode, and don't want their phone from switching between EvDO hybrid and 1X only modes.
Is there any way for you to put this into a program that brings up a simple menu that automatically puts the phone into the airline mode, makes the switch, and turns the airline mode off? The way that it is now, I have to first put the phone into the airline mode using your airline toggle app and subsequently click on the mode of operation that I need and then turn the airline mode off. Too many clicks.
Once again thanks for the mortscript-based mode of operation toggle switches. I have been looking for such a program for my Sprint TP2 for a long time because the TP2's have had their native MS mode of operations menu completely removed from the registry.
Instruction and icons for sysmai's toggle switches
In the above post #11, sysmai has created mortscript-based toggle switches that can do for TP2 what the mode of operations menu does in the original TP. Install his two CAB files one to enable mortscript capability in your phone and the other to create a toggle switch for toggling on/off the airline mode.
Put all the toggle switches in your Start menu folder for conveniece, and if you want to give them distinct icons, use JWMDIconChanger_V2.7c program to do it. This program only works for wm6.5, and I am providing you with some .png icons I found online to use with this program. For some reason, my TP2 is not able to open these .png files but the JWMDIconChanger_v2.7c can open then and successfully make them icons in your start menu.
Instructions to change the mode of operation using sysmai's mortscripts:
1) First use the airline mode toggle switch to turn on airline mode.
2) Next, use the toggle switches to switch to your desired mode of operation (EVDO only, EVDO hybrid, and 1X only).
3) And finally, use the airline toggle switch to turn off the airline mode.
Note 1:
The Airline toggle that sysmai has created is not the same as your phones own airline mode feature. sysmai's airline toggle just turns your phone on and off. It does not turn off other things like bluetooth, so if you go for airline trips, please use your own phone's airline mode feature.
Note 2:
sysmai has named the EVDO hybrid mode as "Automatic" and the 1X only mode as "CDMA only" because these are the terms used in the EPST menu for which you need your MSL code to access. For those that don't know what EPST menu is, ignore it. Just use sysmai's mortscripts on your CDMA TP2's and you should be fine.
Note 3:
As usual, use at your own risk. I used my icons, sysmai's apps, and JWMDIconChanger app on my Sprint TP2 running on the latest stock ROM (wm6.5 with HTC Sense 2.5.2012) without any problems, and all his programs were fully removal on my TP2.
As long as the rtk-fltmode is in \Program Files\rk-FltMode\rk-FltMode.exe then it should toggle the phone radio for you. With my silly messages that is.
Final Zip with Choice of Force mode Cycle
Here is a finger friendly script that has all 3 of the others combined in a simple yes no cycle. Same zip as before with ForceChoice.mscr added.
Simply install (if you have not already) Mortscript and FltMode CABs
Put the script/scripts in an easy accessed place.
If you run ForceChoice it will ask you if you want to force each of the three modes. Yes of course forces it, and no will move you on to the next until you get through all 3 then exits.
I decided to go with the Yes/No cycle rather than a selection for easy "on-the-go" pressing without having to use a fingernail or stylus. Big fat yes or no..lol.
Hope it comes in as handy for yall as it does for me.
Again as stated above this is for HTC Touch Pro 2 CDMA w/ WinMo 6.5 only. Use at your own risk.
Thanks to the creators of Mortscript and rtk-FltMode. Without your great coding my simple scripts would just be txt files..lol.
Have Fun
new version forcechoice script
I noticed when forcing evdo with the other script that browsers tend not to init data connection automatically. This version attempts to init that connection. it is setup for sprints default. if connection isnt established it will loop until it does.
NOTE:
This is for Touch Pro 2 CDMA only.
The file is in txt format so any cdma users that can. Can change the connection name to their choice.
CHANGE .TXT TO .MSCR FOR SCRIPT TO WORK.
MUST HAVE ZIP IN MY PRIOR POST INSTALLED FOR THIS ONE TO WORK
Im learnin so hopefully i will be able to contribute more as needed.

I know this is an old post, but just came acrossed it and wanted to say thanks. This is just what i was needed.
Thank you very much for figuring this out!
I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but does anyone know what all the registry values represent?
From this thread, I gather 4=Automatic, 9=1x CDMA, 10=3G CDMA. I'd like to make a Mortscript with a easy drop-down that can select any possibility (GSM or CDMA) but I don't know how to figure out all the possible combinations. If somebody can help me figure that out, I can build and post the script.
Thanks,
Matt
Any idea how to enable/unhide this feature under wireless networks? Switching to 2G only nearly doubles my battery life on my Nexus
I've just been accessing the band selection menu and selecting gsm bands only. The menu is *#*#2263#*#*. This little "fix" doesn't hold after a reboot, fyi.
I also use the SMODA widget to shut off the data connection whenever I don't need it.
It sucks that mobile data is always on by default, with no stock option to shut it off, and that you can't select to only use 2g right out of the box.
I've seen some widgets that will turn 3G off/on... I wonder if those work on the captivate. I'll give it a try today.

I think you should be able to force it by going to *#*#4636*#*# and selecting GSM only, but that's such a hassle

The widget I have - which comes with Weather and Toggle Widget - does not work. It just brings up the wireless connections menu, but of course you can't turn it off from there.
I'm using smart bar, and it has a 3g-2g switch, but it isn't working. Since this functionality isn't working on my captivate, but worked on my other phones, I'd say it's been intentionally pushed out. If a hack can fix this, I'd love to learn about it.

After all the digging and searching around, I found two apps that work perfectly on Samsung Captivate for toggling mobile data (3G)
- Juicedefender (it has a widget you can use to toggle 3G quickly)
- SMODA Widget (It doesnt have too many 5 star ratings but works fine on my samsung captivate).
My phone is rooted but I believe it is not a requirement of either of the above apps. Hope this info is useful for other captivate owners.
Most of the other APN / 3G toggle apps on the market try to put a suffix on the APN names in settings. On the samsung captivate this works only with a restart/reboot. Meaning if you disable 3G using the app it would put a suffix like 'disabled' or something to the APN name. But your phone still has the 3G connection using the original APN settings. Only after you restart the phone does it see the 'disabled' APN name and is not able to use and hence no 3G. Vice versa when you want to enable 3G back - needs restart.
I dont know what process the above 2 apps use but they work instantly on my samsung captivate. No need to restart or click a bunch of other settings. They work perfectly and as simple as it should be.

i heard juice defender works well
Where are you seeing the option to switch from 3G to EDGE? I just installed Juice defender but can't find the option. The mobile data connection widget just shuts off my data entirely.
Sorta on topic but when I try to install juice defender it is never able to install the aosp helper. Does it work for you guys?

It says install completed, but in the logs, it says there was an error
It would be nice to disable 3g while at home or something , where the reception is a bit sketchy, but i could at least still use it for voice and texting , and use wifi for the internet and app stuff. Could help conserve battery life as well
I tried smoda and can confirm that it doesn't work for me. It disabled data completely as I cannot access the web.when I activated the widget. It would be nice if we could set this phone to 2g and if data speeds were above a certain threshold for a certain amount of time then we could have it switch to 3g.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah, I'd really just like to force the phone into EDGE mode when I'm not using it - updating weather and fetching e-mails are really not that data intensive and don't need the speed from the 3G connection. I'd like to have a widget that will turn the 3G back on when I'm on breaks or whatever and want to surf the web, watch a video on YouTube, whatever. I believe you can do this in the service menus, so you would think there would be a way to accomplish it with a widget - even if it were Galaxy S specific.
I'd pitch in 5 bucks towards a bounty towards such a widget if somebody could create one.
Juice defender does have the option to run the 3G radio on 15/1 cycles (off for 15 minutes, on for one) but I'm not sure how/if my apps that would use background data would sync up with that.
i9000 vs 1897 band settings?
Now that I've moved to the JH2 firmware I'm back to some of the AT&T crap, like hiding the band selection setting.
I'm thinking that the differences are in the Settings.apk.
Others have said that since it's a system app and signed, you can't just install it. So I'm wondering if it would be possible to pull the Settings.apk from the i9000 rom and stuff it using the update.zip method.
May have to do a backup and give it a shot.
Once that setting is available, you can use 2G 3G switcher from Market to bring up the UI and toggle between EDGE and HSDPA.
By keeping it on EDGE, my battery lasts alot longer...
If we could manage to enable it juice defender would switch back and forth automatically based on download speed and/or the screen being on/off, which be ideal.

HI, I recently downloaded and flashed CarbonRom (v.1.6 April22) (coming from Stock jb TW and Midnight Rom). It is a beautiful AOSP Rom but due to it being a Sprint Rom, data does not work on my Virgin Mobile S2 (SPH-D710VMUB.)I can make and recieve calls and texts but no 3G/4G so I looked around for some solutions pertaining to my case.
I have found an app called APNsBu in the market and will revert back to stock and attempt to back up the settings info. I will then flash/recover the rom and restore apn settings. I cannot change APN settings within the CarbonRom because it seems this feature has been removed from the mobile network settings. If this does not work can someone direct me to a more efficient/practical way to regain data? Thanks!
Update: So I tried the above, and no luck. The second APN app that I tried stated that android devices 4.0+ did not have the accessibility (disabled feature?) to delete or restore APN settings.
I'm SOL, any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I took a look at the CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROM found over at androidforums.com and saw that in order for data to work on that rom you needed to flash an ICS or older modem (it refers to FL26/FJ12 as opposed to the leaked jb FL14). But, ever since the recent release of the official update GB28, a jb modem, idk if that method applies here. I'm running justlovejoy's kernel on carbonrom annnd my baseband is S:.D710.10S.GB28, model number SPH-D710. I know VM is under Sprints network so I feel this should be an easy fix if I can find out how.
Update: I have looked into the matter further and found a temporary solution. So I went ahead and downloaded these modem .zip files onto my ext-sd card: GB28, FL26, FJ12, and EG30. I flashed Sprints EG30 modem because I've read from a certain VM user that it had worked for them on a couple different jb roms. It indeed works as far as I know and I am getting internet, if not legitimate "3G" connection when off WiFi. Have not tried GPS/4G because of my remote location but will since it seems I now have some sort of mobile data connection. The widgets that I used to confirm connection is: NetworkInfo and Tiny Network Info. According to them I am now on EVDO A. Shows network gen 2.5G when connected, and 3G when not connected. I am on VM so SIM and roaming is irrelevant here for me.
One widget shows -1dBm signal strength and the other has a -100 to -106 dBm signal strength. Where I physically live mobile data is hard to connect to on stock VM modems. Strangely after flashing EG30 I can go in my backyard or within my house and get better download speeds whereas I could not before. **My phone shows only 1X but the speed seems faster sometimes; misleading?**
Edit: Just after posting this update I am now seeing the 3G icon with blue bars; so I can connect! (fast at loading web pages at least). It would be nice to have an official fix, however I am fine with this for now ... my new daily driver
Both Bluetooth and GPS working very well, I'll update on 4G when I can; I doubt it will however.
On ReVolt ROM 4G connects to WiMax I assume but shows LTE icon.

Thanks a lot man!
Are there any apps that will auto toggle to 2g on Wi-Fi on stock based ROMs that DO NOT require Xposed? Tasker and Secure settings are out of the question as the options are blacked out and not able to be turned on. The main 2 apps I've seen required Xposed.
Stock-based ROMs are almost nonexistent since you would have to decompile, modify smali and recompile, not build from source.
AOSP and CAF ROMs are built from source.
Thanks for clarifying.
Any ideas on apps that do what I'm looking to do?
Data is off when WiFi is on. ?
For sure.
However what I'm seeking to do has nothing to do with data. It's about having the strongest cell signal possible. When LTE is set to recommended my cell signal almost never shows green. It is constantly in yellow, red, or no signal and my phone shows crazy times being awake to find a stronger signal. When I set the phone to 2G recommended my phone almost ALWAYS is in the green. In the exact same locations(sofa at home/desk at work). Idle drain is much much lower with the stronger cell signal.
The attached screenshot is of a typical work day with 2G set to recommended.
@AndrasLOHF I have a tasker profile I could send to you. Why do you say tasker is out of the question? What option is blacked out?

I'll see what I can dig up I spose. Either way, check your wakelocks.
Edit - I found a really old build of an unofficial cm10.1...xt897c. From April 29 2013. Not sure you want it, I'm not really sure what it is. I'll keep poking to see if I can find something official...
Edit 2 - cm11 is kitkat, just FYI
Edit 3 - checked my roomie's phone (he uses the Q now) and I only seem to have a couple of sideload's which I doubt are what you want... and a TWRP backup of stock jb.
I doubt you'll want this upload I have of some random 10.1, I seriously doubt it's "stable" by any stretch of the word. cm11 runs fairly well IMHO, but you seem to be completely against it... maybe someone else will have and old zip of cm kicking around.
Edit 4 - found some gold for you. Will be better I'm sure than the random build I have on my dropbox. No need to donate me any money, I'm just trying to help.

I guess that either an app causes wakelocks or the media scanner is going crazy (that's why I use XPosed + a module to modify its behavour).
For the latter it should be enough to remove all kind of media from the phone and the sdcard. After done that, insert the sdcard to the PQ.
The media scanner will be running in the background. If you want to reboot, do it before or right after you insert the sdcard. While the media scanner is running you should not reboot (just let it alone for a few hours).
I'm not quiet sure but if I remember correct, the media scanner starts a full scan after the sdcard has been inserted. It possible that it does the same after a reboot...
PS: Don't forget that any kind of repeated crashes or app-misfunctions cause a log entry. This can let to a wakelock like behavour.
To avoid this, don't use badly programmed apps.
I wanted to like KitKat. I feel that I have given it plenty of opportunity. But I dont even use my phone for an hour or two and then i have like 1/4 - 1/3 battery gone. And I'm buying brand new sealed MPQs from ebay so its not a battery wear issue.
There were some CM JB roms where the battery wouldnt move all day if you didnt touch the phone. 5 hours later, 99%. Never happens anymore.
I just feel like the JB roms were optimized for the phone and KK roms are an afterthought with no active development. When my texting was killed in an update, that was the last straw.
I love this phone cuz its the last great slider. I REFUSE TO ASSIMILATE. I also use the phone for actual work almost constantly. Emails, spreadsheets, forms, etc. I demand a keyboard for this work. It is definitely worth $25 to me to have a stable rom for the future of this phone. If the market doesnt provide a new slider phone I can still see myself with this phone in 5 years. So I am really trying to prepare for the future with nailing down some good stable roms for this phone that I can stick with for longevity.
I will try the rom(s) in your last link and if it pans out I'll send you some beer money. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and dig around your files.
I know what you mean. I used to rock cm10.2 on my PQ and the battery would last like forever. I'm talking about 3-4 days with 6-7 hours of screen time. If I didn't touch the phone much it would last a week.
Sooner or later I updated to kitkat and at some point lost the backup. I wasn't satisfied with kitkats battery life so I tried to get back. But even after flashing some of the recent cm10.2 roms of that time my battery life would never get as good as the particular version I had.

Kabaldan or skrillex or someone had their own build concurrent with the official builds and i think his had some good tweaks, that is the hardest one to find.

I downloaded CM 10.1.3 stable and I have no mobile data. I went with a CM11 nightly from the same list and still had no mobile data.
I believe its because I switched to ting, these builds default to an old sprint LTE or something. In any event, the phone status says "Mobile Network State 'Disconnected'" in both apps.
I am thinking about restoring my stock ting image and then flashing over it without wiping the data to see if this resolves the issue. If not, what was that secret code to get into the radio menu to activate/deactivate different radios and bands and stuff?

My roomie is on Ting, and I just flashed the latest CM11 snapshot and mobile data hooked up no problem IIRC... I can doublecheck his exact settings tonight.
Did you check the APN settings? Did you check which network 'mode' is chosen?
CM 10.2 2013 Feb 5 nightly boot looped on the dirty flash.... grrrr...... knew this wasnt going to be easy.

You can't dirty flash between ROM's... At least it's highly advised against.

How do I check the APN settings?
OK I changed network mode to CDMA + LTE/EVDO and I at least have 3g for now. It may even be 4g masquerading as 3g, I remember there was an icon glitch....
But how do I get to APN settings and the secret code for the programming menu? Or is that functionality gone in CM?

UPDATE - As I pushed reply I glanced at my phone and the 4g icon is now present. Yay!
Will post updates as I test out the app
EDIT - spoke a little too soon - 4g timed out, sent and received a little data, but still not functional.
The PRL is the same on my stock ting which is updated and has 4g and full service, and on these other builds (54022)
What is not the same is my "mobile network type". On CM it just says "LTE" but on stock Ting it says "LTE:13" and again, "network state = disconnected"
Ok, here is a rundown of my current situation -
In an effort to verify that mobile data is working on any of my CM roms I went with the latest CM 11 nightly for jbbl.
I have no data in the latest CM11 nightly, and I also have no text messaging (send button greyed out / disabled), which is the reason I decided to start this adventure for old roms in the first place, when my texting went out on the 1/3/2015 nightly.
I need to figure out how to get to that hidden radio menu and see if that can help me, if anyone has the dialer code to get to that menu on CM it would be greatly appreciated. But it might not even be accessible on CM.
The only thing I can think of now is flashing the stock FZX and starting over..... not very excite.

Most of the dialer codes won't work in CM. You need to sort out any programming in stock, then move to CM.
If your data worked on stock before moving to CM, then there's something awry with your CM configuration I suppose.
From your last post, data works just not LTE? What APN is configured? PRL is a preferred roaming list, shouldn't have anything to do with regular service. Only applies when you are roaming.....

I dont know how to get to APN settings on the different builds. Only one of them actually had "Access Point Names" in the mobile networks menu. If you can tell me how, I can get you this information.
On CM10.1.3 "Stable" from your link I get a 3G icon and mobile data (not sure if 4g, probably not) Mobile Network Type states - CDMA / EvDo rev A:6
(I seem to remember browser crashing, which it is, and Chrome becoming my internet app, with this build)
On CM 10.2 20131205 I get no data service, no data icon, and mobile network type is "LTE" and state is "disconnected".
On the latest CM11 nightly I am on "Mobile Network Type - LTE" "Mobile Network State - Disconnected" obviously no data
I do have phone service on all the builds. But no 4g and spotty 3g only on CM10.1.3 stable
I noticed when the latest nightly booted up that I had debugging mode already activated. IS there any chance that I had debugging mode activated during one of my flashes and that is the root of all my problems with this?

Access Point Name == APN, should be in the mobile networks menu like you stated. Maybe since you're on old CDMA builds it's not available, try on CM11.

Again, if LTE works fine on stock then you probably just have some bad settings on CM...

Are you clean flashing every time you jump around? Each time you are basically jumping to a completely different version of CM, so make sure you are completely clean flashing (IE wipe all of the partitions (except external SD) including system and internal SD before trying another CM.

I'm using open recovery and wiping data/factory reset, davlik, and cache every time
Hey Scott, you mind giving one of those old builds a whirl for me? Just for science's sake.
Update - I wiped the whole phone with RSD lite - same issues................................. jumped straight into the latest nightly - no data, AND no text messaging - mobile network state = disconnected
I have 2 MPQs, one on stock rom and one I am trying to get on CM - the one on stock rom always says Mobile Network Type = LTE:13. That is from Ting. The Mobile Network Type once I flash CM always just says "LTE" - obviously not the same. Does it matter that my base rom is 4.1.2?
Final Update - I downloaded the CM10.2 snapshot from the link you downloaded. At first I had no data. Then I switched to EVDO only and I had 3g. Then I went to the tile menu and I added LTE to the tile menu. LTE was off by default on the tile menu. I re-enabled LTE and then went to mobile networks and switched to CDMA +LTE/EVDO and miraculously, 4g appeared! I followed these steps on previous builds but it never did anything for me. So I dont know if it was the snapshot version or just messing with the settings over and over but I wish I had that 12 hours of my life back.
Its working now and I am going to let everyone know how it does. I appreciate your help as always Scott!
If you didnt remember, now you do.... I am THE KING of wasting forum space.
