1x 1X 1xEV 1XEV differecnes
- Start here: Found these threads:
1x (or the formal 1xRTT) is defined very nicely here - 1xRTT definition (Phone Scoop)
1XEV (Verizon shorthand for 1xEVDO) is deinfed here - 1xEV-DO definition (Phone Scoop)
Hope they help.11-05-08 10:21 PMLike 0 - EVDO stands for EVolution Data Optimized. <- This is the "standard" for CDMA. This is CDMA's 3G tech.
EDGE stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. <- This is the "standard" for GSM world wide. It's GSM's 2G tech. GSM's 3G tech is called HSPA. High-Speed Packet Access.
Not many GSM carriers use 3G, it's not a world wide standard yet.. even in the US, AT&T and T-mobile deploy both 2G and 3G technologies.. kinda stupid if you ask me because ALL of Verizon and Sprint's handsets are 3G. =(

1x = no data.. basic phone calls and SMS
1XEV = data..
neither have anything to do with BIS/BES or Rim's network..11-06-08 04:20 PMLike 0 - Here is the answer that seems to have not been answered fully:
1x: Connected to the cellular network on 1xRTT but not RIM's servers
1X: Connected to the cellular network on 1xRTT as well as connected to RIM's servers
1xEV: Connected to the cellular network on EVDO but not RIM's servers
1XEV: Connected to the cellular network on EVDO as well as connected to RIM's servers11-07-08 01:14 AMLike 0 - Including receive push e-mail, use the BB browser, and other things that specifically need access to RIM's server? I'm not a CDMA user so I was just going off of RIM's standard system of connection identifiers.11-07-08 01:21 AMLike 0
- Those lowercase and capitalized x's have NOTHING to do with being connected to RIM's servers.
Case in point, I've seen it on Windows Mobile devices. It's just how the manufacturer displays the logo. There's no technological difference between 1XEV and 1xEV. It's just the maker of your phone decided to capitalize the letter vs another maker who decided to lowercase it. Has nothing to do with being on RIM's network.
The letter should actually be lowercase because it's in reference to 1xRTT, aka 1x (single-carrier) Radio Transmission Technology.
For people's reference,
1xRTT definition (Phone Scoop)
1xEV-DO definition (Phone Scoop)
Simply put, 1x only = no data, 1xEV, 1XEV or any other variant = data.Last edited by sniffs; 11-07-08 at 10:35 AM.

Here is another thread about this topic from a few months ago:

Yes, it is true that different manufacturers will display the logo in different ways. However, a CDMA BlackBerry will display both 1xEV and 1XEV (from my understanding only since I'm a GSM user) depending on certain conditions. So there clearly has to be a difference. Also, RIM has been known to use capital versus lowercase to differentiate between whether there's a data connection or not. On a GSM BB, gprs, edge, and 3g mean that there is no connection to RIM's network while GPRS, EDGE, and 3G mean that there is.

Lowercase just means you have no data connection or no data plan. I'm the BB admin with my company, have been for years, and I'm also the carrier administrator for both Verizon and AT&T at my company..
grps, edge mean no data connection/no data plan.
lowercase anything (except the lowercase x in 1xEV) basically means no data connection to the carrier. The "BB Data" people refer to is basically just a feature on the line.. It's more likely a port block or other sort of block.. when it's added onto the line, that block is removed.
You can actually add BB Connect data to a Windows Mobile device's "PDA data" plan for the "Blackberry Connect" feature.. adding or removing it doesn't make your signal indicator lowercase or upper case.. When it's added, the block is removed.11-07-08 12:03 PMLike 0 - Lowercase just means you have no data connection or no data plan.

Maybe your device is running on 2G, even though it can detect a 3G signal. Btw, see my post, and best of luck.
