I received my HTC Evo V about a month ago. I rooted it within a few days. I did not install any custom roms though, kept it stock. For the next three weeks, I had between 5 and 6 bars almost all the time. About 5 days ago, my signal dropped from 5 to 6 bars to 1 to 2 bars almost all the time. I have been in the same areas of the city like I was in the past 3 weeks. I called Virgin Mobile and they said that there were no network issues or towers down. They checked my coverage map of where I am and they said since I live in a area with fair signal, there was nothing they could do. I am frustrated that the signal dropped all of a sudden, I am continuing to get 1 to 2 bars and with that, my internet speed are super slow. When I was getting 5 to 6 bars, my internet speeds varied from 1 to 2 mb download, which I was very happy with. When I rooted, I first did a backup, I do recall about a week ago, I did a prl update in settings and before that, I did that 4g faster instruction thread around that time too. Yesterday, I restored my backup I did when I first rooted and I still have 1 to 2 bars, same as I did before I restored.
Is there anthing I can do to get my signal strength back to where it was before?? Would there be something wrong with my phone?? Would a custom rom help with this issue?? I am thourghly confused. Any light anyone can shed on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
