Anybody got any tips on how to fix my phone signal problems?

I currently flashed my phone from the finland 2.2 froyo rom to both jboogie liquid arc and just recently blurginger and the same problem im facing is the poor cell phone reception im getting eventhough my previous finland rom had no problems whatsoever in this regard.

Btw, i am using a singapore line and its just for calling and sending sms so there's no 3G services on my phone for now. Would the "3gfix" i've read on other forums fix my problem whereby i cant get good signal strength anymore even though previously on the finland rom had no problems in this regard.

well, i had intermittent line issue when i was in Philippines last week, but after rebooting a few times, problem went away. still on liquidarc.

i guess the first thing you should do is to set your APN settings. that could be the problem in getting a stable network. see the first post on how to do it

tyenfei, i guess we can add the current ROMS instead of 'older' ROM, but will need you to keep updating it probably every month

Agree with your suggestion blackwhitechipsKL, Just give me enough information then I can update the ROM section.

As I mention, I'm not sifu or master here but YOU ALL are sifu with your experience sharing blush.gif

if you mess it up, you can't even boot into the normal screen, just the bootloader. you'll have to reflash with a FULL SBF, not fixed sbf to recover your phone.

I mainly read XDA. Or you can save time and just read the front page guide as it's enough to teach you how to flash it unless u really encountered any problem, then u have to work hard and find info on XDA.
