Hello

I live in southern california and have an att tilt. Currently, my reception sucks. I am not sure if it is the phone or the network because my wife also has att and her reception is always better.

Is there any software that I can install that will help the reception? As well I have kaiser tweak. Is there any setting I can change to help on that?

As well, in Kaiser tweak, the default setting for contacts is to show both sim and address book contacts. I know I can change this with Kaiser tweak, but when I have to reset my phone, it goes back to default. Is there a way to change it to just show address book even if phone is reset?

Thank You

Adam Birozy

Check her Radio. If you you aren't running the same Radio version as her, change you Radio and see if that helps.

If you are running the same Radio as her, which is all too possible, you might consider trying other Radios.

EDIT: Yup I read it wrong. I assumed your wife had a Tilt, My mistake... anyway. Try different Radio's than.

Adam,

I am in L.A. too and I laugh every time I see the AT&T "More Bars In More Places" commercial. There are so many absolute dead zones in my life around AT&T that I can't fathom how they get away with it.

That said, while I have NO ability to get a signal in my house (AT&T coverage map calls it "Moderate" which is AT&T speak for "NONE"), others have had better luck.

A friend with a blackberry got 1 bar, and a vendor with a standard clamshell phone (not a PPC, BB, etc) had a full complement.

I suspect that your wife does not have a Tilt. Perhaps she has a phone with an extendable antenna? If so, and you might want to mention back in a reply, that may be part of your answer.

I noticed my signal jump a tad when i switched to an EMO radio. You might want to give it a shot if your ROM will support it :)
