Just wondering if one of you guys could help me out. For some reason my phone sometimes seems to get stuck on 1x when im in 3g coverage area and stays on it for a long time. I can turn the phone off and on and then it'll pick up 3g. Is it a network thing or a phone issue?

Have you tried doing the *228 update to see if that fixes your problem? It's good to do that from time to time anyways even if you are not having trouble.

More likely a network issue. You don't have to turn off the phone, just go to settings, wireless and networks, airplane mode. Turn off the radio by putting it in Airplane Mode, then take it out of airplane mode to turn on the radio.
This will reset the 3g faster.

Yes Airplane mode on/off would be a faster way to reset the 3G. Just add the airplane toggle widget to one of your screens click it on and then off. No menus to deal with.

I get this a lot when I cross the bridge from Philly to NJ. Always goes to 1X as Im crossing the bridge and gets stuck there for about an hour, unless i do the airplane mode. Very annoying with maps / glympse.
