Interestingly, I flashed with the 08/08/2008 qtopia release this morning, from my opkg updated stock image, and also notice my signal is weaker. I am just using the stock image from qtopia, I haven't done any updating. I will do a update and see if I get the same problem. Do you know what

What I mean is, I had a stock OM build, that I had updated with opkg. Then I went and flashed it with the two files in the qtopia package this morning, that qtopia had just released. I haven't tried to update it at all after flashing with qtopia. But I notice the reception seems weaker,
