Cingular 2125 - Signal Strength

[jfreiman]

Well, I just got my new Cingulr 2125 in yesterday to replace my SMT5600.

I was very excited about it and am still gettinging used to the new button layout and the joystick - that might take a while... ;-)

However, I was expecting the signal reception from the 2125 to be outstanding - after all, it does have 'the hump'.

Well, instead of getting more bars where I had little to no bars, I'm actually getting less bars than before!

I had this issue once before with my SMT5600, but made a call to Cingular and they sent a download to my phone and that took care of the problem.

Now I'm getting terrible reception in my apartment and tech support does not work on Sunday! :(

If anyone else has this phone I'd like to know how other's signal strength is.

I'll be out at work today checking the signal strenth as I go and see if the strenth is better or worse than before.

Ok, At home I'm getting a weak signal where my 5600 got a strong signal.

At work, I get 3-4 bars in the elevator - where before I got zero bars and lost the carrier.

Strange.

i always have a weird problem like this everytime i get a new smartphone. a trick that i found that works for me is to just do a hard reset before i install everything if things are slow or reception isnt as good. for some reason a hard reset always fixes everything :)
