ATT Tilt... what ROM are you using?

p.s. what would the issue be by simply using one of the 'band switching' apps mentioned @ XDA to toggle 3g on/off as needed(?) Would that necessarily require you to use a non approved ROM(?) Or is the functionality just not exactly what you need(?)

In Advanced Config there is an option to show the band page, its not very quick, but still easy... phone > settings > band > and select accordingly.

Schap's Advanced Config came close, but not good enough. That 10th button on the Comm Manager, toggles between 3G-only and GSM-only - no Automatic setting so no more handoffs from 3G to GSM calls.

Otherwise the comm manager button works for me when the battery is running low.

Question though, ever have the need for simultaneous voice and data? For your emails or anything?

I'll give it a shot next time i get a chance, theres a pool I frequent that usually never gets 3g inside, but always outside.

I'll let you know in the next few days about my experience with it... still fooling around with radio versions.

I stopped trusting AT&T with radio versions after the WM6 update for the 8525. I went from having very few to no dropped calls to having plenty.
