Hi guys could somebody please tell me if the phone signal uses the same antennae as the gps as just got phone back from lcd repair and have very poor phone reception and can not pick up satellites on gps. Tried all different roms and radio's no go. So i am thinking i have a broken connection to the antennae, anyone who knows the inside of their phone could this be the case? thanks

I have HTC desire HD for almost one month but from time to time it loose data connection. If it would drop from 3g to EDGE or even GPRS than I would understand. But it loose signal completely and even restarting phone doesnt help. I am using Android Revolution HD 1.4 ROM.. After few hours I get reception back. Any idea how to figure out where is a problem? I am afraid that is problem hw problem anyone experienced same problem? My old HTC Touch Diamond with same SIM and on same location gets signal though. BTW telephone signal strenght is 91 dBm 11asu and it says type of mobile network: HSDPA
thanks
if it software i think the only thing you could do is flash another radio img to fix it but that's a very risky process to do and high chance you can brick your phone. if you always had the problem from very start and had another 3g phone work in same location. i would say it has to be hardware problem an take your phone back from were you got it or send it to HTC to get repaired. im in u.k an i get around the same signal strength as you but never lose signal all together unless in location i can't get a signal. only other thing you could check is your battery cover as someone mentioned if that's not on right you lose signal?? don't know how right that is.
Hi
This past Saturday, the 3G signal strength in my area was pretty weak due to heavy rains and thunderstorm. So I connected the CRC9 3G antenna to my SGS 2 that I used with my 3G modem. Later on I disconnected the antenna and then I found out the phone was not receiving any signals. On further investigation found out that if I went outside the phone was receivng signals but juts a bar or two at max. Tried the same sim in my friends SGS2 and it was receiving full signals.
After this I tried flashing different roms, kernels, modems etc but to no avail, the situation did not improve. Now the only way I can receive signal in my phone is by connecting a thin copper wire to the hole of the CRC9 connector at the back of the phone.
The phone was purchasded in UK from CPW, hence does not carry local Indian warranty.
So whats the best thing to do? Please help me.
Tried factory reset?
Yep tried hard factory reset.
Tried all possible modems vers, things work a bit better with KF2.
so guys can anyone help me?
Would you be able to put a different networks sim in, to see it it is just the network being faulty, or a hardware problem. Maybe if you have a different phone you you can see how good the signal is in that and compare the two, to see if it is again hardware or networks.
If it is hardware, there is really only a couple of things to do, take it to a phone repair shop, or get in contact with Samsung and pay them to fix it. I know that a couple of weeks ago in the uk, I started getting only 2g connectivity and it kind of scared me a bit, thinking I had damaged my brand new phone. It turned out the networks 3g was down in my area for a couple of days.
If I have helped, please hit the thanks button (please) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I had the same problem, I put in a different sim and it worked fine, for some reason it hated the orange network in the uk, but seemed to work well on o2.
I replaced my screen, now my gps reception is poor compared to other n4s I am guessing the antenna isn't making good connection or something. Anyone have any ideas? If it's the antenna, where does the gps antenna connect?
Thanks
I had another thought, would using the lte on tmobile mess with gps?
Dear All!
It is possible that after dropping down my phone, the wifi signal reception is reduced?
For example: the wifi antenna - accidentally - able to move in the phone?
My device is Samsung Galaxy S4 Active.

Sure its possilbe. Maybe a connector bent, or the antenna cracked or touches something it shouldnt. You`ll have to disassemble it and look for yourself.
Maybe that helps.

Hello, im going straight to the point, i use my zenfone 5 (t00j) as a gps device all teh time, i ride a motorcycle all the time, unfortunally on a highway the phone flew out of the holder, got ran over a bunch of times by passing cars, but i noticed it was still alive, the volume buttons would make the bip sound when it reachs maximum volume ( screen wouldnt even light up so that was teh only indication). so i went on ebay and bought a bunch of parts. ok now the issue:
I cant get network signal, but i do have GPS and WIFI working flawlessly, what i wanna know is, does the wifi shares the same antenna? by that i mean that RF cable that connects the charging board to motherboard? is that the antenna for the network? it looks good dont show signs of damage but im at a lost, Sim2 was fisically disconected when i pick the phone up, and the SDcard was gone aswell, those were the main impact areas.
Can it be software bug or hardware? i've changed the sim card slots aswell and a factory reset
SMMI test shows only sim card slots fail and modem bus (wich i think its 3g?) wich would make sense not to work since cant get any signal, everything else pass's
Any help, any info on how that works? sim card slots send the info somewhere, where? what reads those signals?
thanks and if u know of somewhere more apropriate, i know this forum is more of a software related thing, but its active and i may get relevant info around here

respectufully, thats a whole bunch of nothing of an answer, ofc if i buy a new phone it will be solved lol, i have a new phone already, but i want to fix this one, hence my questions above, wanna try and solve it, since its only the network having issues, i might just use it as a dedicated gps/multimedia device since i fixed that much already.
the RF cable, thats the network antenna? what chip reads those signals?
