Chris, are you running alltel stock rom?

I need more info.

Go to Start> settings > click on phone >
services tab > select "Network Services" and press "get settings" button

Now, tell me everything that's under Preferred Serving System

[Chris347101]

as far as Rom, im using MightyROM 4.16


and for network services here is what it shows


Home Only,------NOT SELECTED
Automatic-A,----NOT SELECTED
Automatic-B,----NOT SELECTED
Standard,-------SELECTED
Roaming Only,---NOT SELECTED


Data roam guard:

Never ask,------NOT SELECTED
Always Ask-----NOT SELECTED
Default---------SELECTED

Ok, try selecting roaming only just to see if your signal improves.

If you get a better signal and you have unlimited data with roaming in your plan, then no worries.

[Chris347101]

i just did as you said, the roaming triangle keeps flashing, and signals goes in and out or fluctuates from 1-3 bars


I don't know if i have unlimited data with roaming, but i know i have unlimited data plan

Ok, this is what I would do.
Go back to "standard" setting
*228 option 1 to get back to 30040 prl
Then switch back to roaming only and see signal results.

If its better for you, call and ask if roaming is included in your plan. If it is, then you're good.
The triangle will appear when roaming but there is a hack to remove that too. Just an annoyance though.

Let me know how it goes

Oh, make sure its at 30040 in device info

[Chris347101]

did exactly what you said, and didn't make a difference............So i changed it back to Standard and still have a PRL of 30040

Unfortunately, it sounds like your area got a downgrade instead of an upgrade. I'd call and complain about the poor service after you upgraded. Maybe they can do something on their end.

I don't know what else to try other than flashing different radios. Some people have had good results with different radios.

Ive had razor and another PPCG member help me out with this problem, and they both have told me about different radios..........but once you change radios on alltel you cant go back, they why im kinda worried about doing that.
