I assume you are using WM5, if not, I don't know if the settings are the same with WM6, haven't got the guts to try it on my Apache XV6700.
You can always turn off the EVDO and always stay on 1X whenever you need it, and change it back to Hybrid when you need to use both EVDO & 1X.
Start - Settings - Phone - Services - (Scroll Down to) Mode of Operation - Select EVDO (for EVDO Only) or Hybrid (for EVDO & 1X).
I wish there's some kind of batch file script or macro script that can simulate our taps... well it's like 7 taps away to change the mode of operation, not to mention waiting the device to soft reset.

How to switch 3G on and off quickly?

I prefer to keep my Hermes locked on GSM/EDGE for battery life and calls quality, but sometimes (when I want to browse Internet) I would like to turn 3G ON temporary. Getting there through Phone settings menu is just too many stilus clicks. I'm looking into doing that in one or two clicks. What choices do I have (using WM6)?
I saw Connection Manager with 3G button on it, but I cannot find it any more.
Thank you!
Konstantin

There is a thread here on Bandswitch and commmgrpro. It is updated by the developer danielherrero who is a member here. The applications are no longer freeware although I believe there is an earlier free version available through the thread. You can easily google the commercial version.

there are also Commanagers that have a 3G tab in them now schaps made one and a few other people and yes there free to download and .cab versions just make sure you also install SDKCERTS.cab as well and have the commanager shut off before installing but there are whole threads about how to install them in Hermes Mobile 6

Schaps 3G Comm Manager did the trick for me.
Thank you very much!
Konstantin

Is there a cab for the default commanager?

Managed to screw mine over by installing a commanager that does not work on Touch HD, and it has no uninstall option
Thing is, i've been having network issues with T-Mobile (Holland, region UT). Basicly i have 3G/HSPDA connection but data is not working. Because of this my telephone battery is draining in 2 hours, because the application keep trying to connect... So i installed a commanager for another phone to try and disable 3G, sadly the commanager is not working and as i said there is no uninstall option.
Apreciate any kind of help!

do a search here for comm manager, I'm almost positive there have been issues like this before. Otherwise you can always backup and a hard-reset would definitely solve your prob.

data connection

Hi,
is it normal for the TP not to connect automatically to my 3G network whenever I open programs such as Opera or Google Maps ?
it worked fine with my previous Touch Diamond.
now i need to go to Comm Manager and manually activate Data Connection
very awkward

Am I alone with this problem ?
Eventhough my data connection is on, i cannot send/receive mail, open sites etc etc.
I need to open connections and to "manage" (= go through the settings without changing anything) existing connections before it works again for a short period.
strange, bug ?

I can tell you mine connects (dials-up) automatically, works like a charm
The problem I am having is after a soft reset I need to recreate the connection (write in APN again), as it simply won't connect
do not worry about the poor feeback around here; Palm Treo Pro has a strange user pool, not in to flashing, modding, or pretty much anything, just application and accessories (I am the only one to notice that? Is that beacuse the users came from Palm OS platform and are not used to reap the benefits of this?)

nawww...I'd say b/c it is targeted for business users. I may not be a typical business user but the older I get, I am. I can say that I like to get a phone that works for me, not the other way around. The treo is just that. Not too much modding these days...but that's just me.
about the data connection, that is not normal. Have you tried a hard reset? Sounds like something is wrong.

thx Mike !
forgot that one, I used the Treo straight out of the box without a prior hard reset when I brought it home to Morocco from the US.
a hard reset seems to do the job !
but I have not yet re-installed my software like SPB Mobile Shell, Slovo Ed Dictionary, Opera mobile beta and treo BT update.
lets see how it goes one by one !

This is exactly the problem that I am having too. Have you found a way to sort it out?

CommManager to switch on/off 3G networks?

Is there such an application for the HTC Touch HD yet? I installed an older commmanager, but it doesn't seem to let me disable 3G.

I'm also looking for that. I've downloaded vSetBand from another post bt it doesn't work on the HD.
I know we can switch the band from phone settings but it's too long and I'd like something faster
