What is the Difference between Using EVDO, CDMA & HYBRID
Which one allows you to get more battery life from your battery and which one gives you better reception on the phone 🙂
-When you see the EV in the display you can watch VCast.
-CDMA is 1X mode only. That's the good ol' Verizon network that everyone knows and uses and used before EVDO and VCast came out.
-Hybrid mode sets the phone to look for either the EV or 1X all the time. This DRAINS the battery. When the phone can't find an EV signal it will kick over to the 1X signal and whenever it sees EV it will go back. This is somewhat like analog on the older phones and it drains the battery quicker.
-Just remember that whenever you do *228, option 2, the phone will go back to Hybrid mode. Just go back into the secret menu and put the phone back on CDMA only.
