Default Why 1X lately...

i've been in Ev (EVDO) mode at work for the past month and a half. but lately it's been going into 1X the last couple days and super slow. what is 1x and why is it so slow. i have to reboot the device to get it back in Ev mode. also noticed it tried to roam twice today.

i know there's probably threads explaining what 1X is but i tried a search and apparently the X throws off the search engine.

Try a search for EVDO, that should be what you need.

The only time I get 1X, is when I'm in a tunnel.

Call your provider, to make sure your phone has the lastest firmware, for wireless capability.
