Hi,
My Zuk Z1 signal strength reception is so low that it doesn't even pickup signal when indoor (strangely sometimes it picked up signal, sometimes not and only showing no data sim)
But at the out door the signal is very good
This happened after I disseasembled the device to change the camera part. I've rechecked all the parts and there is no defect or something broken in the signal cable or anything else.
Any help?

If it was even better before you disassemble it then you maybe did something wrong. Did you used new metal tape in case you removed it?
Otherwise which rom did you have. I had the same problem until nougat builds came up. Then the signal was better then on all mm roms or cos. I did not disassemble at all.

what is 'metal tape'?
Can you point it out which part is that?
sorry for the confusion, the signal is better before

I believe the disassemble process do nothing to the signal, it's already bad before
Sometimes my SIM Card is not connected at all

That sounds for me like the signal was better before?!

If you remove the battery cover, between the speaker and camera, slightly towards the top of the phone, there is a zig-zagging line. Is that the phone antenna? Or possibly the GPS antenna?
Reason I ask is that many years ago, I bought a bunch of those little gold stickers that are supposed to boost your reception. Though i dont believe they work, I have them, and figure it cant hurt to stick one on over the antenna.
=) Silly, I know...

Honestly, I am not 100% certain, but it could be the radio antenna and not the GPS... you might as well try it. I had one of those, and I think it actually made things worse when I put it in my old Nokia
LOL. really? I'll do some experiments. 5 days with it off, and then 5 days with it on. We'll see how it works.

Well yeah for some reason I had thought it was down the right side?!
BUT
According to these references
Not in english....... completely... but list an antenna assembly #20 onpage 24...and pictures [of that part number] on pages 11, 16, 27

Thanks for pointing these out
Has anybody had a problem where the reception is really bad on the phone? Previously, my reception was fine. However, the phone fell off the couch and onto some hardwood flooring yesterday. I believe the problem started after that. I am only able to receive 0-1 signal bars now, whereas the phone maintained full bars in my house prior to the drop. The phone goes into and out of service a lot as well. I'm not even sure it was the drop that is the cause of this problem because it was only from about 3 ft(height of the couch).
I'm hoping there is an easy fix.
What modem do you have?

D18 with phx 1.49 and epic experience 2.08. I did a factory reset just in case, but that did nothing...just how I anticipated.
You could try airplane toggle and prl update.
took the phone apart. hoped it was just a loose cable from the antenna. That wasn't the case. the phone is pretty much garbage now.
Did you try re-attaching both ends of the cable from the radio side to the antenna part at the bottom? Pop off the antenna module and re-attach it and see if that helps.
Sound like it might have been a cold solder joint. Drop it and the weak joint breaks. If its dead now any ways you might try heating the pcb to try and reflow the joints.

I opened up the phone but I couldn't find where the solder joint was. err. I should have looked harder.
any idea where it would be ?

which part is the antenna module? I was hoping it was a loose cable. I saw there was a cable on the right side. I tried plugging it in but it seems that it wasn't loose. I also checked all the other cables.
Is the upper right hand corner the antenna, or is it all those r2 w1 connections?
Well, if you're asking if I have really bad reception after I dropped my phone onto a hard surface, most likely breaking a solder for the antenna, then no. I haven't done that yet.
On a lighter note, the DK17 modem is very noticeably better than the DI18 modem in 4G as well as better WiFi signal and less spotty CDMA issues. The main fix I saw was the 3G/4G hand-off being much, MUCH more seamless than it is on DI18.
So an irresponsible night of heavy drinking and dancing led to my phone making a crashing debut on the dance floor. I lost my battery cover, and I figured that's why my reception became so horrible and couldn't get data ANYWHERE.
I got a new cover, and still I get horrible reception. SMS won't work sometimes, I drop calls like made and data is terribly slow (Edge) if it even works at all. Sometimes 3g, gprs, or hpsda (is that right?) will work but only when I'm really close to a cell tower.
Anyone know wtf i did?
Sounds like you damaged the phones radio on the inside when it hit the ground.

Yes... purely on speculation you broke one of the two brass clips that make attachment to the radio antenna on the rear case.
Nothing a quick look inside can't fix...
Good luck..
I like the sounds of that
I'll crack it open tomorrow. THX!!
WOOHOO!!!!
Turns out due to the soft case, i one of the antenna tabs was bend down. Bent it back and voila!
Thx guy! I give you internet wines, 12 internet goats, and i shall dance at your wedding!
Great to hear of your success. Glad my speculation turned out to be a validation.
Awesome
hmm, my gps stopped working a few mths ago when i dropped it, , , hope my repair goes as well as yours! (when i get around to buying a new screen)
Just a heads up to anyone experiencing GPS and or reception issues, if you have any aftermarket accessories, be conscious that they may be the cause of your problems.
I've had GPS not been able to lock for a while now, and it turns out that the sole cause of this was an aftermarket metal battery cover. As soon as I put back the stock plastic one, I got a full 8 satellite lock within 20 seconds.
Any metal case, cover, bumper, etc could be having a negative impact on your reception and or GPS. This was definitely the case for my I9100
Yes! can confirm this I had the same issue a while back.

Yup, general thing.
Had the same thing happening on the HD2 just like alot of other people who bought the rubber like protection things when they just came out.
Actually it just not only blocks GPS but also wifi and mobile signal a bit which results in a bigger battery drain too.

It was quite annoying to realize that I've gotten lost a few times the past few months all due to an accessory I paid money for
Makes sense why early iPhone 4's had problems with reception, due to the metal housing
So it's just the metal cases? I've a gel case for my SGS2 and it works great with it

It's not the iPhone's fault brother, like 'he' said; "You're holding it wrong."
On a serious note, the case definitely have impact to signal and heat dissipation. Once upon a time, my HD2 was plagued by signal+heat issue due to some crappy case.

I get you cand send e-maild but sms', no. . Since I don't know where you are from, go to your local network operator store and ask someone to give you the right number for message centre. This should be stored on your SIM card but it seems to be a little problem.
I don't see any diference between 9500 and 9505 (Body, buttons position, size...)

Yes you can. Seems like a metallic case. You should know that those reduce your signal strength for wifi and mobile.
