3030, I'll try that. I'm still hanging in until I get my sacrificial phone to go over to Boost. I already did my son's EVO and it is so much better. Besides the slow internet speed being a deciding factor on switching I also got disappointed when I went to the beach in Ventura and my reception sucked. My wife's Admire had crappy reception too. It was fun doing this. I think I learned a lot about my phone and actually got hooked on rooting, QPST, CDMA WS, and other stuff like that. I'll still reading this post until whenever.

Signal Problem?

I dont know if this is in the right location but I had MetroPCS for about a couple of months. Service is good in Los Angeles, but ever since i flashed the HTC Supersonic to Metro, I have been getting from 1 to 0 signal bars but i almost always get No Service. I walk outside and i get decent coverage but how can I go from having full signal from a Metro phone in the house to barely getting signal on the EVO. I am using the latest Radio update, PRL 3029, and am using the latest MetroDroid Rom. May someone please help me get a correct PRL or a way to get average signal again? Thank you
