When HTC first sold the P3600 they said they disabled the GPS chip set because it interfered with the GSM radio. From what I’ve been reading in some of the posts, some people are still experiencing a desensitized radio section after upgrading to the new GPS enabled ROM. Maybe this is why it is taking HTC so long to release the official ROM.

I’d like to hear from posters who have upgraded to the new ROM to see who has or has not seen their signal strength decline after the GPS ROM upgrade.

Mine is fine, still 3-4 bars. I use GSM850 out here in the wilds of Canada, though.

I had the same problems with signal after upgrading to dopod rom. However, I also updated radio to 1.38 and now GSM signal seems to be much better. Not excellent but reasonably good.

I've compared mine Running the Dopod Rom with radio 1.38 with a friends running the original non gps HTC rom and got the same signal,we were both using the Greek Cosmote network "Gsm 1800"and we had both selected the gsm band and disabled 3G .
