Tried it, doesn't work. Tried all the fixes at one time or another. They don't work.
Isn't the "Force 3G" method more reliable?

Yeah, this works, but if I go through an area with no 3G I lose all signal....And it doesn't stop the fluctuation of the 3G bars. I can still lay the N1 down on a table, have a strong signal, then pick it up and the signal gets weaker. If I put my hand over the bottom of the Phone the signal also gets weaker.

Yes, the force 3G actually works. Of course, this will give you no coverage if you are in a 3G-less area.

What doesn't make sense is, I turn this on and am in a 3G area and will hange onto the 3G signal for a few minutes. Then, while the phone is just sitting there, it loses it's signal for a minute until it picks up 3G again. Why is the signal strength changing so much with a change in location?

Are you asking why the signal strength is changing so much without a change in location? Not sure, but I see this a lot. Could be a number of things. But likely wireless interference at that time, boosts/losses in signal based on a number of factors.
