well I just read through this whole thread... Im taking a chance here. I normally have a charger around, and where I work I normally only get one bar or just a bit less, just the EV or 1X with no bars but not quite searching. I just changed all 4 values to 1000. In the Debug menu the DB went from 99-102 on my desk at home to 87-90. and I show 2 bars. if I step outside where I normally show 2 bars, I now show ful bars an the DB goes to low 70's. the RX ec/io is now at 21 sitting on my desk, I forgot to check it before I changed the values, but I believe it was close to what it is now.
I will test it like this for the next three days while Im stuck at work and see how it goes.
