EVDO / 1X Toggle Switch for wm6 to conserve battery

[shahriar5252]

Can anyone come up with a toggle switch using MortScript or other programs to toggle between EVDO and 1X?

I have a Sprint Touch Pro, and in some areas where EVDO singnal is weak, I need to stop my phone from searching for EVDO and stay on 1X to conserve battery. Such a toggle switch will also be very useful for Sprint's Airave customers to prevent the device from searching for EVDO.

wm6 does have a feature to switch between "Hybrid", "EVDO only", and "1X only", but Sprint makes puts this feature in hidden mode to prevent people from accidentally selecting "EVDO only" mode because this mode will only allow EVDO data connection and your phone will not be receiving phone calls or SMS. To unhide this feature, do the following:

1) Obtain a registry editor (I just use PHM Registry Editor)
2) Navigate to \\\registry\HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\
3) Change the value of 'HiddenModeOperationPage' from 1 to 0
4) Save
5) Soft reset
6) Go to Comm Manager, click Menu, Phone Settings, Services Tab, and scroll down for "Mode of Operations". And you will see "Hybrid", "EVDO only", and "1X Only" as options that you can select.

Can anyone make a MortScript toggle switch that can switch between the "Hybrid" and "1X only" in the Mode of Operation menu?

Others have made such MortScript toggle switches for toggling between Sprint's "Automatic" and "Roaming Only" modes in the Roaming menu of wm6. For those that are interested in the roaming toggle, first re-enable the "Roaming Only" mode that Sprint deletes from the registry in wm6.1 by manually doing my steps mentioned in this XDA site (post 43) or by intalling the CAB in the "DCP Enable Roaming.zip" that is available in this SprintUsers site (post 8). Then go to this XDA site, and get the appropriate MortScript files in posts 7, 15, 18, and 27 (be sure to follow all directions in post 7 and 15).

If only someone can make a similar toggle to switch between "Hybrid" and "1X only", I would appreciate it!!!

Great news:

I found the toggle switches that intx made in another forum for wm6 and wm6.5. Just go to this PPC Geeks thread and get the appropriate MortScript file for your wm6 device. If you have wm6.5, go to this PPC Geeks thread to get the appropriate one.

If anyone can come up with a way to change the icon of these MortScript toggles, please let me know because I have two MortScript toggles now, and I like to have different icons for them.
