Ever since I updated to 5.0.1, my cell reception (AT&T) has been stuck at 1 bar (-113 dB). Anyone know what's going on with this? I haven't been dropping calls, and the quality has been fine, so I'm guessing it's just a display problem rather than it actually being at -113 dB. I've tried restarting, safe mode, everything.
Got a tip for us?

If it's jailbroken that will be the cause.
It's a common problem after jailbreaking a simlocked iPhone.
Install ultrasn0w 1.2.5 from cydia that will solve it.

To unlock it? But didn't my baseband update when I went from 4.1 to 5.0.1 (I used pwnage tool to make a jailbroken ipsw).
You don't unlock it, but it fixes the cosmetic 1 signal bar issue.
it's a byproduct of the jailbreak and well documented and indeed reinserting sim solves the mms vm problems

That's pretty silly....I've never had this problem on any other JB. I'd rather be stuck with a cosmetic issue than an actual functionality issue.
Exactly. And if it bothers you (it bothered me), just use a JB app called CleanStatus to hide the signal bars. Problem solved!
