Okay, so I thought I would give this a shot. I had Google Calender, Facebook Calender, Palm Profile, and Flixter Calender. I removed all of them but Palm Profile and did a reset. Before resetting, I watched the phone for about 5-10 minutes, and was getting "normal" activity at my house that I have seen for the last month. 1 bar when steady, sometimes 2, 5-3-2-1-4-1-5-2 bars jumping etc. Evdo-1x randomly, no matter the bar count. I should have checked ##DEBUG# and got the RX values and what not, but I didn't think about it until it restarted.
After the change the Pre seems to be sitting still at 2 bars. After 6 minutes, I noticed the only change in the Pre bar icon was going up to 3 bars for about 10-20 seconds, than it will set back down at 2 for over a minute or two, and do it again. It only jumped from 2/3 to 5 then back down to 2/3 randomly one time. Hasn't left EVDO yet. I went and sat on the morning throne for awhile, watching SprintTV, checking the web etc. and than took a nice long bath. In the bathroom, I am usually in 1x at least 80% of the time. Usually EVDO works for about 10 minutes, than it's rare to get EVDO and I usually remember to turn on WiFi. After deleting the Calender accounts, it seemed to bounce between 1-2 bars in that room, stayed on EVDO for about 5 minutes, than dropped to 1x and stayed there, rather than bounce around as much. I did notice the signal bars going from 1 to 5, than 4-3-2-1 almost like a test. As soon as I opened Web, or anything that involved constant data connection, the bouncing signal and 1x/EVDO was back.
I have to say, I am pretty skeptical, but we shall see what happens. It seems to me, in my completely uneducated and inexperienced opinion, that the PRE is programmed to constantly look for, update network settings, and display signal strength/data connection when it is using data. In other words, when the phone is idle, it only checks and displays new bars/ 1x-evdo every so often until a Data connection is opened, than it is CONSTANTLY checking and updating the display. This may be the reason you all are seeing a difference with Google Calenders being removed. Maybe Google calender updates more than it should, and much more than anything else synced to the calender app. Who knows. All I know, is that this little trick only helped me a little bit *aesthetically* (what shows on the screen, not what's actually happening) until I actually used the phone, than it would act like it always did. A little piece of mind, regardless of what is really going on with the phone, is not worth loosing my Google calender to me.
