I had a piece of electrical tape over my phone for a few days and I swear it makes the signal harder to pick up somewhat. Prevents death grip and can pick up the signal and sustain it, but getting that signal seems tougher. Can anyone attest?I think I'm going to keep it off and just deal or use the pIxelskin.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently my 5month old C5 keypad metal panel that cover menu (contact, menu, dial and poweroff) is loose out and surprisingly this metal pad only stick on by sticker, I try to bring it to the nokia service center but they said keypad is not cover by warranty, but how could such a careless design of a critical component in this case is a keypad that will be subject to presure of finger, is only design to stick only by double tape, in my whole life using Nokia and other brand never found such a careless design on keypad, allthough it look nice it should not be in separate piece and only stick by double tape??! and worse it Nokia service center do not want to be responsible for this careless design by this UI engineer?? I hope in the future Nokia RnD should really taking seriously on the design not only look nice and pack with feature but should really taking care small thing but critical such as this metal pad, any cellphone pad should come in one piece or at least not just a plain metal stick on the button by double tape, it should be robust.

Mine was fine but now if I don't juggle it at the phone end, it sounds like a tape recorder when the tape used to get dragged in. Is this a phone fault? Is it a problem with the connection on the phone's motherboard equivalent?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI live in a poor reception area on the Rogers network. I've noticed that when I go into the basement the phone drops a signal pretty quickly. I am okay with this and is expected. My issue is when I get back on to the main floor, the phone does not pick up a signal again for a long time. Sometimes even toggling airplane mode doesn't work. My wife's iPhone does the same thing.
Anybody else having this problem?
I use my Nokia phone camera a lot like taking pictures of furnitures, tools, appliances, and other items that I want to know the dimensions (measurements in inches or metric) of to study the pictured items at home. Sometime I carry with me a tape measure and I lay it along the lenght and/r height of the item just to get a rough measurement of the item's dimension.Is it possible for Nokia to develop a camera with a built-in measuring tape that shows up in the pictures taken? The measuring tape should be able to adjust to the distance between the camera and the object so that the actual dimension of the object is measured accurately. If I take a picture of crawling snake from 20 feet away the picture taken should be able to show the actual lenght of the snake.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knows what algorithm is used for the signal bars on the Photon 4G. I have found that there seems to be no correlation between the signal strength (in dBm / asu) in Settings -> About phone -> Status and the signal bars that are shown. Often the signal bars will shoot from 1 to 5 or 6 even with really low signal ( ~97 to > 100 dBm) that doesn't fluctuate.

I have TomTom UK running on my iPhone 4 which itself is running iOS 5.1.1.I have been having problems with the TomTom App keeping its signal locked in all weather conditons and even thinking I am on tottally different roads even when it was has a signal to start with.I then get the Poor GPS signal and can pretty much drive to work in 45 mins somedays without any signal lock and navigation.I know my route but use its HD traffic service to miss delays etc.I've deleted the software from the iPhone and redownloaded it and this hasn't solved the problem at all.

I updated my iphone4 to iOS 7.1.2 and after that, my phone started to lost the signal... from 4 bars to 3, 2 and nothing... I alredy tried to turn it on and off, i also tried to remove the sim card. and lastly, i tried to restore it to factory setting but it says that "there was an error".

Does anyone who has an iPhone 4 under an O2 contract experience a range of 1-3 bars for the signal on a consistent basis? I just got my iPhone and have been left pretty disappointed - I know having a strong/bad signal doesn't directly affect the quality of a call under 3G, but when accessing the internet via the network, a low number of bars being displayed is having a detrimental effect on the bandwidth cap, hence limiting my access to faster data speeds.
Could the last update on the signal bar display be the source of all this? I fear that this more 'accurate' determination is actually working against me. O2 is supposed to have the best coverage in my area for 3G, but even when I went to London, I seldom got a full 5 bar signal. I've spoken to a representative and they said it's very normal for fluctuations to happen, but I severely doubt this.
I've spent the past week poring over posts on here and on different sites, trying to educate myself as best I can so i can fix this issue. After hours and hours of banging my head against the wall, I can't figure anything out. My story goes:
- 2009 iPhone 3G updated to latest firmware/bootloader/baseband (3.1.3, 5.11.07, 5.09)
-Tried to jailbreak with pwnage tool 3.15 and accidentally checked "Activate iPhone"
-When restoring the custom pwnage firmware from iTunes, got a 16xx error
-Unplugged and tried to restore to original ipsw which i had backed up before
-This process looked like it went normal, but when it was finished the iPhone restarted into emergency call mode and iTunes gave the error The SIM card insterted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported (even though it is a functional ATT SIM tested and working in other ATT phones)
-I tried doing pwnage fresh without the activate iphone checked and it went through all the steps, this time without the error, but when it reset, it was still in emergency call mode.
Since then i tried numerous things to get it back to working status including, calling ATT, Apple, getting a new SIM, various Jailbreaks (Blackra1n, Spirit, redsn0w, pwnage), unlocks. Nothing worked -------> EXCEPT: When I run redsn0w, it goes through the JB, restarts and functions 100% normally, but THERE IS NO SIGNAL. I tried installing ultrasn0w through cydia, and all that does is change the signal from no bars "_ _ _ _ _" to "Searching".
So basically what I'm left with at this point is an oversized iPod touch. An iPhone that doesn't get signal. UGH.
For what it's worth, there are iPhone's without the dreaded antenna issue. I just exchanged mine at my local apple store and the new one is perfect. No matter what I do I can't get the signal to drop, even holding it tightly with two hands. The first one I had drop constantly. All I had to do was put one finger over the left side antenna and within seconds it would drop to searching.
View 24 Replies View RelatedWell I have found a way to easily switch your signal bars on your status bar from regular bars to db's and back whenever you want. Well I'm on the latest beta of 4.1 (8b5097d) on IPhone 4 and it does have feild test (maby it's just because I restored from my 3GS but idk). So go to your phone app and then to the keypad. Then type *3001#12345#* and press call, this will put u in field test app. At the top I can tap the bars and it will switch to db's and if tapped again it will go back. So once u tap to change to db's hold the sleep button till slide to power pops up then let go of the sleep button and hold the home button (this is a respiring). Once u do that u can just easily tap the bars or db's and switch where ever you are in your phone. Good luck hope it works on all your phones. And ps you don't need to be jailbroken!

I have just started experiencing problems with the signal quality of my iPhone 4s.When the 3G is turned on I have no signal at all (NONE!!). However, when I turn the 3G off I have a cellular network capable of sending/recieving call & texts but pretty much useless for everything else. No amount of hard resets/network resets or airplane mode switching resolves the issue.p.s I have just recently upgraded the OS to 5.1.
