dbm difference on 1X and EVDO

[dnwk]

Today I saw on my SignalCheck app, it says my 1X RSSI is -69 while EVDO is -100.

 

How is that possible to have such a huge RSSI difference? Is it possible to connect to different tower for 1X and EVDO?

Yes.

doesnt that yes only apply to non-triband devices?

Watch signal check when you are on EVDO on a Triband.  Shows 1X on a different channel, different connection.  And they can be different sites/sectors.

I thought there was supposed to be only 1 transmit/receive path on tri-band devices? ie why we can't have svlte? I must be confusing something.

I think triband devices switch back and forth for 1x and EVDO when they are not connected to LTE.

Read up on slot cycle index.

Oh, I am using Moto G, so no LTE

[WiWavelength]

Guys, SVDO, SVLTE, e/CSFB, etc., are irrelevant.  Think back to 2005.  Original EV-DO handsets were single RF path, yet they could camp simultaneously on CDMA1X and EV-DO.  That was the standard for years -- until SVDO became commonplace for a short period of time.

So that could well be that 1X on BC10  and EVDO still on PCS

Yes

Yes

 

Well, SignalCheck app supposedly should sound an alert for being on 800SMR as I turn it on. But it never did
