It might have something to do with the new PRL (preferred roaming list) that was pushed with the update. It changed my PRL from 30035 to 30040.
Check your version under "device Information"
The PRL changes the order of the "preferred" tower that your phone will connect to by default. The most current PRL might now be "perferring" a tower in your area that has a weaker signal than that of the previous PRL.
The first thing I would try is to revert back to the previous PRL that you had a better signal on. Which would be 30035. I posted for you below.
This may be different for you if you reside in an Alltel/Verizon divested market area.
Here are the directions:
1. Download & unzip the 30035.prl and place it somewhere on your phone.
2. To enter EPST, dial ##778 and press send
3. select "edit"
4. unlock code= 000000
5. left softkey "view info"
6. scroll down & select PRL
7. highlight "Update PRL File"
8. right softkey "menu" >"edit"
9. browse for the PRL file you transfered to your phone in step 1.
10. left softkey "OK"
11. Reboot.
If it doesn't help and you want return to the latest 30040 PRL, just *228 and option 1 again.
Good luck.
