Its become unusable. I only get signal when my mac is next to the router. or within very very close range, it cuts out when im more than a meter away. I have a large antenna on my router, my pc is able to get full signal upstairs and my iPhone gets full signal when on the third level. Just wondering what i can do to resolve this issue?

I have a d-link wireless router... I notice i get a small improvement in signal strength when i have the laptop open at a 95 degree angle...

Hmm maybe my airport extreme card is on its way out? or the antenna in the lcd assembly is broken... orrrr maybe i need a airport base.. my router is old now, from 2005...

Took it to local apple workshops (no authorised as I live in saudi arabia) who stated that the internal antenna was loose, supposedly fixed lasted a few days and now no longer working NO signal strength at all, how do I replace check that airport extreme card is faulty or not connected properly

I'm strarting to get really annoyed, I called MacStation Argentina (kind of a official distribuitor here) and they told me that even if my international warranty hasn't expired, they provide technical service for all products except (guess....) iPhones.

I tried restoring it from iTunes, restoring network setting (or something like that), and I am still having the same problems.

("Ask to join networks" is on...)

I'm qute handy, and I think I can repair it on my own (if I know WHAT to do). Some guy in an unofficial center for these kind of repairments, told me it would cost me 170 dolars. Its absurd...

I found an answer, something about Clem 1 and 2, but the link is broken...

I appreciate ANY help, thanks a lot,

Juan

I search everywhere and couldn't find the answer to this.

I did an iPhone conversion to White and everything went smoothly, except that now my WiFi Signal is not full strength nor is the signal.

For the signal I am dropping a bar when it should be full strength and the same goes for the WiFi.

I can have full strength and right away drops in both 1 bar.

When I did the conversion I broke the 5 fingers at the bottom. I am about to replace the speaker and I was wondering if that could be the culprit or should I look on the top plate?

Please help me!

I didn't wear gloves (I will next time). I cleaned out all the connectors with Windex and changed all the screws. My device seems to be put back together properly.

Did someone have a similar problem and then find a solution? I would really like to see my bars go back up again. I can't be the only one with this problem.

Please help

I successfully replaced the Front Panel (with some drawbacks, I broke the Volume/Power Flex Cable while disassembling the iPod) but now the Wifi Signal strength seems lower than before, especially when my hand is in the near of the upper left corner where the antenna is located.

The Wifi Antenna is still connected to the logic board (I guess, as I would'nt have any signal if it was disconnected?).

I don't remember if there was any connection between the Wifi Antenna and the iPod Steelcase for better connectivity.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

I've been trying to look for an answer on this forum and anywhere else on the internet but haven't found a solution yet.

It seems like my iPhone doesn't receive/send signal strong and fast enough. Let me elaborate on that:

In my apartment I have almost full signal but when i travel through the city there are certain areas where I don't have signal: NO SERVICE. Whereas on my old iPhone 3gs, i would have poor signal such as 1-2 bars but that's better than nothing right?

I'm pretty sure my iPhone 4 has a hardware problem but i can't figure out why.

I've tried to hard restore etc. I've replaced the antenna by following the guide here on ifixit. It actually help on the signal bar but not movement wise. Could it be the rear panel?

Unfortunately the warranty is expired :(

Have you stumbled upon this issue?

Please let me know. I could use your help!!!

The problem is that when you insert a South African Sim card it doesn't pick up a signal or the carrier.

Any advice will be appreciated.

As i read on past post, my iphone signal is very poor (1 or 2 point inside house, no signal outside). The famous "Blue Inductor" has dissapeared, then i have a beautifull ipod touch.

Anyone know if this can be fixed and where I could send it without buying a new board? I'm from Spain.

Thank you so much.

Update

Hello, few days ago tried to bridging both sides joined by the inductor with a screwdriver and signal returns perfectly, the problem is that i dont know how to soldering this two parts?

May i use only a drop of tin or i must use a wire with tin on both sides?

Thank you so much.

After taking the back cover off and running a hairdryer inside for a bit, i managed to fix all of the problems but the cellular signal. Could there still be moister or corrosion somewhere causing this, or is the antenna (or whatever) beyond repair now?

Really i'm just looking for advice as to what to do next. I'm more than capable of replacing internal parts, and if soldering is required i have no problems with that. Even stupidly small surface mount stuff.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Cheers,

Chris

2 things: i can't "reconect" the lower antenna connector to the logic board (dont fit in the socket) (image)

and i dont turn off mi iphone when i was changing the battery the first time (i read that this could be the problem) also my clock restart to 1969.

thanks for the help and sorry for my bad english.

Update

EDIT: i reconnect the antenna connector after a few attempts and now mi I4 charges properly and dont reboot any more BUT i have "no service" and sometimes 1 bar of signal, and in my home 3/4 bars (normal to me). i need help with this, thanks :D

I tried everything!

I replaced the wifi antenna and assured myself that the little metal part that can easily fall was still there. Everything was fine.

I tightened all the screws and checked that none of them are missing. Everything was fine.

I checked the blue coil on the bottom. Everything was fine.

I cleaned all the parts and used gloves to makes sure there wouldn't be any oil.

The problem is not related to my own router because I have the same problem wherever I go.

If I go too far from the router, the signal will drop completely.

When I'm close to the router, I get about 2 bars, sometimes 3.

I really don't know where to check anymore, I'm lost!
