Better 3G signal when Wifi Turned on?

[earsly]

This may sound weird but does anyone else have poor 3G signal for your phone? I live in San Jose and have never had a problem with reception. When I'm in my house...I get poor signal. It goes from 2 bars to 0 bars to 2 to 0, etc.... Basically losing signal repeatedly and it kills my battery life. Talking on the phone kills my battery life as well. When i turn on my wifi...the 3g signal stays constant at 2 bars and the battery life lasts MUCH longer.

Is anyone else having this sort of problem?

doesn't seem to have an effect for me.

On another note, It seems the antenna in this phone is significantly weaker than the one in my old omnia.
