Signal change with GPRS on

[iammike]

Noticed something that seems pretty weird to me and wanted to see what everyone else thought.

I have the T-Mobile 6.24 stack with the always on GPRS. I can be sitting here with 0 to maybe 1 bar of signal with GPRS off, then I'll turn it on or let a program turn it on and my signal will jump up to a steady 2 bars! It seems to always go up with the GPRS connects.

Anyone know why or if it truely is an increase in RF? Maybe it's uping the wattage when the GPRS is on?

i get 5 bars all the time, and when GPRS activates, it also goes to 2 steady bars...lol, so i dont know if thats a good thing 8) ...but i havent had any voice drops, or nothing of the such, and since radio version 6.24.01 iv had reception in my room and in basements, so im not complaining one bit

o_O I've learned to just not even look at the signal bar, especially since I went to 2003. I just watch for the flashy green light.... :lol:
