[1.1.2 OTB (H/W Unlocked)] Very very low Signal. What to check?

Hi!

I recently HW unlocked my 1.1.2 OTB phone. It worked like a charm (did my friend's too). My problem is, I'm having a very very low signal. "No Service" most of the time, while on the other phone it shows full signal.

I'm not even able to call 911 from home, only from my workspace (beter signal there i guess). I even managed to make one call from there, but nothing more.

I read a gazillion threads, tried even more solutions, but none worked for me.
So i guess it's a HW issue (coz' one call was successful).

I don't know if it's the antenna or what. Can anybody help me out how to check what part should be replaced? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Same here... HW unlocked a week 47 1.1.2 OTB a week ago and have a very weak signal since then. I have ordered a new antenna today and will report as soon as it arrives.

Okay, I'm waiting for your results. I hope it'll help:)

I had the same thing after HW unlock 1.1.2 then upgrade to 1.1.3 , both I had no signal and sometimes I had 3 bars of signal strength, searched every where and found nothen so I reopen the phone and removed the tow screws on the communication board and then I got full signal , hop that well help
PM me if u need to know more cuz I don’t visit this forum a lot

Did you ever solve this?

so you replace the two screws on the comm board, wouldnt that make the commboard less stable? does it stay on ok?

Chris, did you solve the problem via this solution?

same herre, the black antenna cover right?
but i thought it was just a piece of plastic. can it be sqeezing something that is in there?

I've got this as well! Think my antenna is a bit damaged so might try a new one, the black antenna cover is a bitch to get back on and it doesnt feel 'right'
