Bad for the phone? If your phone likes to get the EVDO Data signal and transfer data at high-speeds and you turn this feature off, then yes, it's "bad " for your phone. 👀
If you live in a fringe area with a really weak EVDO signal, then this method will increase battery life by not constantly searching for an EVDO signal. So, if your phone wants to have longer battery life, then turning EVDO off is "Good" for your phone.
To sum up: Disabling the ability of your phone to get the EVDO signal will not harm your phone in any way, but data will take longer to transfer and you may get longer battery life. 🤨

Can you still send and receive text messages with the EVDO disabled????
Yes, just slightly slower.

I completely agree. I mean if the area you live in has decent reception in...

um i feel like an idiot saying this, but when i open my phone, press "ok" and then press "0" nothing happenes. other than me being at the main menu.
i have the newer orange version, running SW Version T99VO02. the first 0 is really captial "o" tho.
is there something i could be doing wrong?

On the Orange enV, to get into the "service menu":
open phone,
press: ##77647269900 (#-#-P-R-O-G-R-A-M-9900) then "send"
this then will give you the prompt for the "service code" which is 6-zeros "000000"
Hope this helps! 😁
Note use "sym 3" to get "#" with keyboard open

WOw, that is a weird way to get to the orange enV'S service menu i'll be honest w/ you about that. why'd they do it that way aand not just the normal regular way likeon the Silver enV..How very interesting.
...
Because of QPST.
Qualcomm's program uses the service code of "000000" to get into parts of the filesystem on LG phones. Verizon did this (coupled with a BitPim block) so less people could hack the phone. 😎

Hey Ashaneen, thanks for that help. I didn't realize the BitPim lock. Wow...amazing. Hahah...hacking into the phone. I wonder how many people actually do hack into the enV's lol.
...
Wait, did you say free WAP and is the mobile web 2.0? lol How do you get that done? lol I can't even figure that out.
...
thx for the help
it does work...
not sure about battery life differences yet...maybe in a week or so i'll repost if i noticed any changes.

ehhh, probably something like that. it's very minimal because what the enV does is in LOW EVDO reception areas like i was at this weekend the Amish country in Pennsylvania (lol), it automatically switches between EVDO/1X and 1X so there's essentially nothing for you to really worry about.
