So I am in a non 4g area and after the outage Verizon officially shut down e-hrpd! They said you have to go into a 4g area to officially reactivate it! I am really annoyedwith this. I have rev.a only now which is slower and no voice and data.
Faster Switching.You know, i've never tried that the 2 times i've manually put my phone in rev.A. I'll have to check that out later. It was my understanding that it was eHRPD that could only do that. Then what exactly is eHRPD for if you can do that under rev.A?
so even if I DONT live in a 4G area, if I buy the Bolt, I will be able to use voice and data at the same time on just a 3G connection?

eHRPD is the path Verizon used for their LTE migration. It's supposed to allow the soft handoffs between EVDO and LTE and back when required. As stated above, simultaneous voice & data does indeed work while running on Rev A due to the way the voice and data radios are set up separately. That said, I'm in Raleigh, NC and my network type also says Rev A even after switching the setting to Enabled and then back to eHRPD after reboot multiple times.
Just because you're set to that through the ##778# menu does not mean you're on it. Check under settings > phone info > network

I know they are suppossed to be the same speed and stuff but my sppeds went from 1600-2200kb to 400-700kb!!! However ironically my ping went from 450ms to 150ms??
When i do this settings > phone info > network
What should it read if all is right, i did the switch to 3G last night to get my phone working as i had ZERO service, but did the switch back all per the XDA directions before i turned in. And this morning i woke to 3G service.
Just want to make sure im back to right, it currently says
Mobile network type CDMA - EvDo rev. A
Is this what i want to make sure my 4G LTE is ready to go, i am in a fringe area, my 4G comes and goes.
So why am I still in Rev A. I haven't changed anything.
