Re: Is it normal for Sprint signal to be so much lower than roaming signal?
So while I may only see 0-3 bars for EVDO service, does it mean that I really have 4-5 bars of phone/email service that's just not displaying? I'm more worried about missing calls when my signal looks really low but if it has that strong 1x signal that's just not being displayed it's not really that big a deal.

On another note, is the 0-3 bars for Ev the reason I can't get any higher than 500kbps data speed? No matter how many times I run a speed test I always end up in the 450-500kbps range.
