I have a um150 verizion with arc freedom antenna. my location is on the edge of evdo but my cell detects evdo. upon dialing device switches from rev a to 1x when connects. If I check rssi they are both usually range of -75 to -85. I have moved to the best location possible in my house with antenna in window still same. Any one have any ideas ? by the way my brother has same device on lap top with no antenna and worked in rev a any where in my house, this was only a one night test but I stayed in 1x? Sad

I am not sure how to switch but have made several attempts to change settings with verizion help. net result having to reinstall software and much confusion. usually i find a simple process never goes simple unless i have exact directions .

1. Install cell card.

2. Open Verizon Access Manager, but don't connect online.

3. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the d key.

4. Type in diagvzw as the password.

5. Click on SETTINGS.

6. Select HDR Only.

7. Close and connect.

I think that HDR means High Data Rate, e.g. EVDO.

Do the same steps, but select automatic instead of HDR Only to get the card back to normal.

I learned all of this from other users here at EVDO Forums.
