Stuck on 1X? How to get 3G back

That's a nifty app. Thanks for the heads up.
Note however that the current outage is affecting LTE (4G) and eHPRD (3G), so those of us in the outage area who want any 3G connection must disable eHPRD mode, as in Step 1 in the OP:
Then you can use either the Phone Info or LTE OnOff app to set the preferred network type to CDMA auto (PRL) to maintain a steady 3G connection, i.e. to keep the phone from cycling through its options and thereby temporarily dropping the connection. And once the LTE network is back online, you can set it back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto.
I'm not sure the benefit of eHPRD, so I'm not sure why I'd want to turn it back on ever again.
...
See above.

I know how you feel. I've had my own struggles with Verizon store employees, customer service and tech support.
I think you'll find that (like it or not) none of those people know any more about the phones, networks, etc than you do. You will have much more success finding solutions to your problems on forums like this than calling and asking one of these "warm bodies" for help. The only good reason I can think of to step foot into a Verizon store is either to play with the new phones or get a warranty exchange---which, fortunately, the reps are ready, willing, and able to do. And unless you have a billing question, calling 611 for tech support is at best an exercise in futility.
Just my two cents.

I apologize but I am new to all of this.
Woke up this morning to a 1x and figured it had something to do with the juice defender app I loaded before bed last night (told you I'm a noob). So I uninstalled it and restarted my phone and still nothing. I got that Phone Info app and switched to CDMA auto (PRL) but that didn't help either. I am in eastern Washington and outside of a the 4G coverage area but my coworker has a Droid 1 and is on 3G right now??
Any help would be appreciated??

Just follow what it says to do in the very first post of this thread. It works great.

I appreciate the fact you need your 3G for work. I would not call and demand any credit though. If you were my lawyer and I asked for a discount because you didn't show up for an appointment with me on time, you wouldn't give me a day's credit I'm sure. In other words, things happen, sometimes they happen beyond our control.

ha I was wondering when the lawyer comparisons would start.
I didn't "demand" credit. I called to ask when they expected the network to be back up and the first rep said no idea, I asked to talk to someone who would know, the second one told me it was a nationwide issue and offered me the credit.
I either haven't had service at all (as in, no network connection whatsoever) or I have had very limited (as in, not the service I contracted for) for the entire day so far. I'm guessing that's why they offered me the entire day's worth of credit. I don't bill by the day, so you're right, if I showed up late for an appointment, I wouldn't give you a discount on a full days worth of work. Regardless of whether I was late or on time, I would still only charge you for the time I actually spent with you or working on your case, documented down to minute increments.
Not that how I bill is in any way relevant to this thread at all, I just want to point out that was an apples to oranges comparison. People are frustrated and wondering what the word is from verizon, and I tried to provide the information I had just received from them. I thought that was the point of forums...
also wanted to add my credit was $5. woohoo, but at least they are trying. not sure how people are talking about paying $30 for talk/text/data through verizon, but I want that plan

Doubt it. Last outage they couldn't.
