I realize Apple redid their algorithms to change bars with the last update, but this is ridiculous. I am always at 1 bar now. How many bars do you show?
 
You do know that with digital cell phones signal strength doesn't matter anymore. You are connected or you are not connected. Only analog cell phones needed a stronger signal for better speed and such.
 
What on earth is the sensible purpose of this thread? However many bars one has on one's 'phone is entirely dependant on the location at the time. The number of bars on other people's 'phones is irrelevant.

I don't think that is entirely true, I have been in situations with full bars on 3g and had excellent speeds, and sometimes with two bars and horrible speeds, both situations all on 4.0.1
