I am still looking but you can also change the display of the 'signal strength' on your screen to read in real numbers. While at the home screen, hold down the ALT key while you type NMLL.
Alt+shift+H will bring up a screen that will display it as a percentage. I have not found a way to change it on the home screen like the signal meter. There are themes that display it as a percentage..
wait no, because i think there was a way to display either the battery percentage or the wireless signal percentage. a smarter individual will come with a link.
The 3g theme that jpatterson350 built for the vzw tour has the battery % in it. Its in the 9630forum page. 3g for everyone. It works great. There is no ota link but loads up in mins using desktop manager.
