i have a sprint tour and it keeps going between roaming and 1XEV and 1Xev, i tried going to options>mobile network>network technology to set it to 1XEV but it still keeps going between roaming. ANY THOUGHTS? THANKS

Sounds like you are on a fringe data area.

That is one reason we left sprint.

Don't feel too bad. Its happening on a vz storm also. Its sporadic. I'm assumming that its maintenance or something.

1XEV means you have EVDO data connection to the cell provider's network, and, you are connected to RIM. When it goes lower case, you've lost connection with RIM.

i think maybe its just in my mind, because right after i made this thread it stayed on 1XEV and did not roam lol

Make sure its Not in Global for network settings, and in automatic 1XEV. That will keep your Tour from continuously searching for tower signals and update your PRL.

On Verizon you want it on Global Verizon is CDMA not GSM Sprint is also CDMA not GSM



Data Services ON
Mobile Network Automatic
Network Technology should be set to Global

works just fine

The only time I saw 1XEV change to 1Xev was roughly 3wks ago when BB server went down "due to BBM bugs"... weirded me out.

[southjersey786]

The thing is i live in the suburbs where there are a lot and i do mean a lot of trees, so it usually goes to 1xev or roams periodically.

You're contradicting yourself. "Global" turns on the GSM radio, and 1XEV is CDMA. Unless OP wants to use a sim card and a GSM network, he should set it at 1XEV so that he conserves battery power.

Thank you for your support Trojan.

What is the difference in automatic a and automatic b in the network selection mode.

I don't know. Vzw has either Automatic or Home Only as my choices.
