I love Cyanogenmod and all, but is there away to get better reception? Most of the time it's 1 bar, and sometimes 1..... Is it because it's a build and not official? Or is there something to do?
I have full bars on froyo roms, and the internet is a lot faster than cyanogenmod. If so, prl... What is it. I'm not very good at this stuff, lol.
PRL: The Preferred Roaming List, basically a way of telling your phone which towers to connect to first.
I'm afraid to change the PRL now. All those steps.... I figure I'll leave it alone. I'll post a screenshot maybe of the reception I get. I usually get 1-2 bars outta the 4. :s
Which PRL do you recommend?
It'll probably depend on your location. You'll have to try a few and see if there's any difference. It's really pretty quick to change it and check. A week or two ago, I spent an hour or so checking a handful of them. For me, personally, I saw no change in reception or 3G speeds, so I just switched back to the stock PRL.
Just to reinforce what has been posted, there are no ROMs for the Optimus V that flash a radio image, so they do not affect your reception, at least in so far as the signal strength is concerned.
And what you are telling me is that it is good to get a PRL switch? I live not far from a Train....
