Lock to EVDO?

Been noticing the same IP range changes you guys are talking about. I haven't had disconnect issues with them thou. I changed to HDR only 2 days ago. I haven't been on 1x since.

Welcome to the forum, thorcomm -- looks like we're developing a nice little Lynchburg users community here!

allej0ly · Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2007 5:16 pm Post subject: L'burg speeds

My download speeds are optimally 800-1100 down and 90-100 up. I am still experiencing lower signal levels than was as of 7/25 though, and my speeds are currently roughly 1/2 of that.

karlyn did you get the pm reply that i sent?

Karlyn, thanks for the info on your download speeds.
I am glad you are getting 1mbps plus on your downloads.

I am using a Kyocera KPC650 through a D-Link router. The router shows I consistently get 70% signal strength, so I don't know what is keeping me so slow.

I am on the tower at Highway 460 and State Road 672, east of Lynchburg - and I am at the fringe of that coverage. Maybe that explains my slow connection speed.

Anyway, Hello to the other Lynchburg area members!! Very Happy

hi, i'm hoping somebody is still watching this thread. i tried ctrl/d but end up with a password screen. from prior calls to alltel tech support i remembered 000000 but that gets me to an activation screen. have things changed since july? thanks for any help you can give

Use diagsmsi as the password (this only works if you are NOT connected, see ansar's directions on the first page of this thread).

You didn't mention what card you have -- your options may differ depending on the card you have. The options I posted (also on page 1) for the settings page are for the PC5750.

no problem this time, as a matter of fact i gained one bar, it seems to work better now but only when i'm at the front of the house where i get a signal from a different tower than at the back. this puzzles me though. the tower i get at the back of the house is much taller and closer than the tower toward the front. after making the changes i showed one bar with evdo but transmission came through slower than dial-up. has anyone from the lynchburg crowd tried this tower on 501/meadville rd. i'm wondering, after reading all those posts about the problems in the summer, if alltel is not still working on it.
btw i am 6 miles out of halifax, va

BigDave, Read above, It said HDR was EVDO only!!

My question is will the card keep the settings for when you use it in the KR-1?? No, That would be to good to be true.......... Laughing

The card will keep the HDR setting when you plug it into a router. I had set my 5750 to HDR only a while back. The tower here lost EVDO altogether, and went to 1x. I had no internet until I put the card back in my pc, and set it back to use either.

Can you tell me how to do this with a kpc680 and Axcess software that comes with the Alltell card? Thanks.

When I do CNTRL-D, I am only getting

Manual Activation/Mobile IP/Field Test.

Did anybody figure out what to do in this case? I'm using a UTStarcom UM150.
