Re: Is it normal for Sprint signal to be so much lower than roaming signal?

Just unzip this on your desktop, save it to your device and run the cab. After installation, you can go to Phone>Menu>Options>Services>Roaming>Get Settings>Select Roam only.

Then just switch back to Sprint only when you are in better coverage. Hope this helps.
I think I already have that installed as part of OMJ's ROM. I guess I can just use that in school but I wish there was an easier way to toggle it! Not exactly the quickest thing in the world to do. It's strange that I have so many less bars now than on my old phone (Samsung M610) but I think it may be that on that phone it was on 1x unless I was on the web and this one constantly shows the Ev strength. When I actually make or receive a call and it jumps down to 1x it seems like my signal strength meter always goes up.
