Disable ehrpd?

[willstilson]

I'm not sure why Droid800 is saying I'm wrong when the information I've stated is almost common knowledge, in the thunderbolt world. A simple Google search will yield that information. I took the liberty of taking some screenshots on my Thunderbolt tonight, to show that forcing Rev. A is possible.

In the first shot you can see the phone is on eHRPD, and in the second shot there is a speed test. The third shot shows the setting menu where Rev. A can be forced. The fourh shot shows the phone on Rev. A and the fifth shows a speed test. Notice that both speed tests are using the same server, yet the Rev. A instance is faster.

Again, the original point of this thread was to find out if it is possible to force the GNex to Rev. A. If you don't believe that it is possible for the user to do that on any Verizon LTE phone, despite this evidence, then I don't know what to tell you. I, and many others, know for a fact that it is possible on the Thunderbolt, however, no one has published a way to do it on the GNex. I'm sure there is a way to do it, but it isn't yet public knowledge. I hope some dev figures it out and lets us know.

Rhetorical question: can you do it on any phone except the thunderbolt?

No, you can't. So yes, you are completely and totally wrong.

I never said you can do it on any phone besides the thunderbolt. The whole point of this thread was the OP asking if it was possible on the Nexus. You responded to the op stating that it wasn't possible on ANY phone. Others and myself chimed in to tell you that it is, in fact, possible on the thunderbolt, and you are blatantly telling us that we are wrong. You my friend are wrong. It is possible to force a Verizon 4G phone to Rev. A. Is it possible to do so on the Nexus? As of this moment, no it is not.

last night my gnex switched to EVDO REV A after being on HRPD for 6 months. My 3g speeds almost doubled on the EVDO. This morning it was still on the EVDO, but after reboot, now i'm back on the HRPD.

How do I force the EVDO REV A again? i was getting much better speeds. i live in a 4g area, but have been playing with keeping it off for batttery savings
