Once FieldTrial opens you'll see a value for RX Power--use that to objectively monitor and report your signal strength.

I would be extremely surprised if the CE ROM on these devices has any ability to affect that value. I suppose it's possible, but these things are designed to keep the radio and Windows sides pretty-well separated.

kdoweb - Try flashing the Altel complete ROM over to your phone (it can be downloaded at the utstarcom.com web site I posted on the last page). I think Sprint and Verizon are the only encrypted ROMs.
My Rx Power in the 1x menu fluctuates between -82 dbm and -83 dbm. And then in the HDR menu it shows it to be -92 dbm to -97 dbm.

What does this mean?
