That seems very odd, you should be stable on both for messaging and all.

Hybrid will allow the proper operation of the phone. Mine came that way from the store.

Hybrid.

EVDO only means your phone and SMS/MMS won't work while using data. Hybrid automatically switches when needed.

I had this same issue when I first got my hero. I decided to call up Sprint, and it seemed as though they've had calls about this problem before because they told me to follow a few steps and after about 10 minutes text messaging seemed to be normal. I suggest just calling up Sprint and seeing what they say.

Interesting.. I didn't even know Hero had the option to choose, that's pretty cool though, I kept mine on Hybrid though, but I changed NAM settings from NAM-1 to Auto-NAM, not sure what this'll do, but auto is always better than manual in my opinion, lol

1x means data, but no 3G. The way it switches on and off is the same as EVDO. It's for use in areas with poor 3G coverage.
