Are the signal bars just faking me out and the reception is actually better than what the phone is showing? Seems I read it is showing only 5 bars for signal strength instead of 7.

Everyone I talk to continues to state I go in and out often... as if I have a very low signal (which agrees with what the phone is showing). The TP2 has also started dropping calls in my home, which it never occurred prior to flashing. I've never had dropped calls at my house, I have had full service with all other phones. My trusty old treo is sitting on my desk right now, it is showing full signal, the TP2 is varying back and forth between 1 and 2 bars. It is also showing constant data usage since the R2 install too. I know it can't be using data nonstop or my battery would be dying.

I am not criticizing, just trying to find out if it is just my phone... if so I need to get a replacement.

the rom doesnt touch the radio. so reception should not be affected what so ever.
