Installing iPhone 4 Front Glass Display Assembly take a look at step 14...clearly states the reason for most loss of wifi signal after repairs..check your screws are in right (step 13 has a good tip) the clips are on the metal cover etc. That 4.8mm screw is important and so is the area that holds it in, take a good look for any damage there. You also need to make sure you have cleaned greasy fingerprints off your metal work.

+ excellent answer as always and very descriptive without guessing....;-)

oldturkey03,

after reading everyone's drama's over their loss of wifi I am super doooper careful with the iphone 4 repair...hate it!

Sounds like the phone was assembled incorrectly after repair. One of the cable under the screen is possibly not connected properly

Spot on. There are a lot of connections and tiny details that can be overlooked when re-assembling...or even connections that you swear you reconnected but just didn't reconnect fully. Try cleaning connections as you recheck everything.

A piece of aluminum can do the trick too :) just fold aluminum so it is approx. 8mm x 4mm x 1-1.5mm and place it under the screw and the round gold/metal piece right next to the screw.

Can you provide a picture? Does this completely repair your WIFI signal?

In one important post above it says, "That 4.8mm screw is important and so is the area that holds it in." I think I lost part of the "area that holds it in" and am now getting no WIFI signal.
