Hi,

I noticed that with PPC2002 v 1.2 SE my gsm signal was about 3 or 4 bars. When I upgraded to PPC2003 v 4.00.05 my signal was about 2 or 3 bars.

Does anyone know how this is possible?

I think they discovered that the signal indicator was lying (saying 'full signal' way too soon), and they made it more honest so that it would actually be useful.

Almost...
From what I can see here in my cradle, which is in the same place for a year now:

When the indicator says: "no signal", it means "reasonable signal".
When it says 1, 2 or 3, it means "Perfect Signal". Confusing.

Thnx for yours reply. Thought so, because I had good phone quality with lower signal.

@Bigrick

How do you like 4.00.10. Have you removed the T-mobile stuff? (how?)

Actually I was a bit disappointed at first too, thinking that the signal was weaker, but I noticed I get better signal now, both for voice and GPRS. I noticed because I can call and connect to the web in areas that I could not before, even if the signal indicator says no signal.
