• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I've been able to force the 595U to EVDO and only connect to EVDO no problem. Often if I'm in a native Sprint 1xRTT area with EVDO roaming on alltel, it will want to connect to the 1xRTT, but all I have to do is force the card to EVDO and it works great. Usually it automatically picks EVDO roam over native 1x, and I've only had to force it into EVDO in one area.

I'll have that card in a few days Scott. How do you go about forcing it - assuming I need to?

From the tools menu you can access the SMS composer/reader, call log, connection manager and options. Under Options there is access to the network menu. My suggestion is to set the 595U to 'EVDO Only' when in EVDO coverage. This way the 595U never checks for a 1xRTT network. I believe that continually 'looking for' a 1x network can affect performance.

J, my setup is up and running and works well. However I can't get to the settings you mention. Mine are greyed out. I don't see the Tools Menu in the Connection Manager. In Connection Manager I have a menu I can click on and from the pull down I go to 'Settings' and then 'Sprint Mobile Broadband - Sierra Wireless'. That pulls up a Settings page and under 'Network Mode' and 'Roam Mode' everything is greyed out and unable to be selected. Does anyone know how to enable these settings?
