Default Does anyone have less bars after installing the ICS leak?

I'm the area i live att has good service also where i work and around my town. I used to get full bars in my house, good bars almost everywhere i went. This all changed after i installed the leak. I know get 1 to 2 bars almost everywhere. Nothing else has changed in my phone or my life. What can be causing this and how can i fix this?

Anyone else that installed the leak had any problems like this?

I dont think much has changed signal wise. I do however notice wifi is amazing on ICS. This one out of three android devices I own gets best reception wifi wise. Also, dont want to sound rude but should really search for a fourm thread that has been already been made about ICS bugs/issues. Please post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1780142 I'm just letting you know what a MOD or DEV would tell you here. Making new threads seem to clutter up the forum and people dont see the more in important threads that get bumped daily. For instance, I have almost 650 posts and I've only started one maybe two threads cuz everything can almost be found using search option. Sorry to hear you have bad data reception but I am sure you can somehow tweak/mod/make it better by searching all over the place. Good luck!

Bars mean nothing, they're just graphical representations. Settings -> About Phone -> Status will display a "Signal Strength" line. This will have a number, the lower the dBm, generally, the better. You could be getting the same reception, just the leak is handling the signal better or representing it differently graphically via the signal bars.

Much like Apple's "Death Grip" fix was..... they simply changed the graphical algarythm for the signal bar display a.k.a. - bar 4 had a larger signal window before it would drop to bar 3...

It's all in the numbers.
