I just removed the antenna on my X1 and put it back on. Now the signal is very weak, in a house, where I always had a good signal quality it shows me no signal.
I found some threads with the same problem, but there was no solution...
So.. is there any possibility to solve the problem?
try "put it back" again?
clean contacts, make sure you screw it all in correctly...
try flash a new radio?
I have already done it. nothing changed...
Why did you remove it in the first place?
just wanted to see if another x1 with the same problem would work, if I put in an antenna from a working x1...
turn off 3g
it helped just a little bit... there are still locations where i had a signal and now not..

Hi
New owner of this Tytn II and have a few questions I hope someone in here could answer.
I've got the following versions: (is this all the latest ones?)
rom 1.56.409.4
radio 1.27.12.11
protocol 22.45.88.07w
The device is bought and used in Norway. It's a clean HTC, no telco branding.
1)
I can't remove the cover on the back to remove the battery to get my serial number. The reason is that I'm afraid to harm the phone while putting too much pressure on it. And believe me, I'm using a lot of force to try to open it.
It's not put on wrong, since there is no glitches and everything seems ok.
So, is there a way to get the serial number via software or something?
2)
Signal strength on wifi is incredible low.
And yes I've tried to use it both with powersaving and maximum effect.
I'm standing 2 meters away from my linksys router and it tells me that I've got 80% strength. If I turn around, getting my body in the middle, it drops to 25%. Going 4-5 meters away, free sight, it's around 50%
This is a joke right? Must be a software bug I hope. Or a serious hardware bug or too protected internal antennas?
Any clue on this one?
My ipaq hx4700 is way better on wifi then this, getting 100% all the way in my house.
3)
Is there a way to use MSN with the wifi connection and not only use the 3G connection?
That's it this time.
I'll just dive into the forum even more to find other usefull hints.
(Yes I've searched for answers to my questions)
Wifi range of this device has never been marvelous (but still better than on my old hermes). I get 50% being at 3 meters of the AP (which is behind a wall).
Your version seems to be slightly nwer than mine; I have a 1.56.405.5 (Default HTC QWERTY English)
And finaly, WLM works fine through wifi
Thank you.
Well, too bad the wifi is so bad but nothing to do with it.
And yes, I got the IM working over wifi now, setting all applications that needs to go online to use the work network profile instead of the telco network.
Anything on the serial number or do I have to crack open the device? hehe
I'm having a problem with my Kaiser, WiFi does not turn on. And I don't mean I can't connect, I mean it doesn't turn on. Searching on the forum I found this threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420868&highlight=turn+wifi (This one even has a video showing what happens when trying to turn WiFi on)
And
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381370&highlight=turn+wifi
But there is no solution for the problem on any of them.
I've already flashed tons of differents SPLs, radios and ROMs, soft/hard reseted and even did a "task 2a" (wich whiped everything, bricking my Kaiser. Thanks jockyw2001 for FrankenKaiser!). None of this made my WiFi work.
On the Hermes forum I've found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
Could this be what happened to my Kaiser? Can anyone help me fix it?
Thanks!

Thank you, but that guy's WiFi turns on and doesn't find any networks. My WiFi does not turn on. On the other hand, if your pourpose was to tell me that my WiFi is "broken" I would like to know what is broken so I can fix it. Thanks!
The number 3 capacitor is fried on the wifi card.
Maybe my mindset is too simple, but I always think that if (on a device like this) you reload fresh software over and over that is known to work, and the device doesn't work, then the device is broken. There are no dip switchs or knobs to turn, no drivers to reload (because you just reloaded them by reinstalling the ROM). Maybe you can reseat the device. Take a look at the disassemble guide and see.

Will do, thanks for the advice!
What about this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
Don't you think it's worth a try?
I would suggest you ask Drummer10630 or someone like Chainfire, if that is a bad idea. It looks like it could work with the right files.
I wouldn't want to suggest you zap your phone more then it's already zapped.

Here you go at it again.
TILT doesn't have a WiFi card or WiFi adapter as you keep on calling it.
Here is an advice for you: if you don't know the answer, don't answer the question.
hth
Oh then what should I call the wireless thing? Does it work on magic?
If you're so freakn smart why isn't your wireless working?
I got same problem which cannot turn on WIFI, almost seach all the solution about this problem and send my device to repair to find the hardware problem , but still cannot work, i give up already. fortunately, I know how to make it work sometime, there has some experience about it,hope it can help you.
. turn on the SYNC connectoin option Allow wireless connection
. pull up battery for 30 second.
. hardrest after refesh new rom.
but those for my device only can work for once, after device sleep cannot turn on again, or freezen and after soft rest, wifi cant turn on again.
I noticed that when I run tomtom the gps looses the signal continously, even if I'm in openair and with no construction around, like there is some issue with the receiver.. BUT when I download the satellite position with quick gps, everything is fine... why??
Maybe you wanna try another Radio ROM. I made the best experiences with the one in my sig. I also tried 1.09.XX.XX but had bad GPS signal reception.

Actually I have 1.09.25.23
Yes that was exactly the one I had with bad GPS signal. Maybe you wanna give 1.00.25.05 a try. After changing the radio ROM, my signal became perfectly stable even within a belt bag and fixes within 15-30s.
Hi guys, u are great...i have a big problem: i disassemble and reassemble my X1i in order to clean keyboard (space,.,c don't work properly). Now keyboard works GREAT, like new but I have no more signal !!!! GSM(phone,sms) and UMTS/HSDPA (data) signal disappear...
I try many option, hard reset, to reassemble antenna hardware (top and bottom) but nothing....HELP ME
restart the phone without the sim card, and then , restart the phone with the sim card. Recheck the antenna connections. there must be something missing.

I had the same problem, I just sent it back to Sony and they fixed it within a week.

The desperate measure would be to disassemble the phone again and then reassemble it. Deserves another attempt... on your risk
hy guys...i try to reassemble my X1 three times but nothing...
Ask: in your opinion if i send my X1 to Sony they can fix it or my guarantee warranty expired???
same thing happened to me, but it just need little bit harder push on hardware antenna to click on place ( like i said that worked for me).
Thanks Sapa13...i will retry...
Hi. I have a T5353+ Chinese Clone. Everything is working so far except one problem.
Almost every time I try to make a phone call, it fails even though it has strong signal marking (3-4 lines). After the call fails, the signal indicator goes to "!" (means no signal) and wifi goes "x" as well. 30-60 seconds later, the signal goes back and I am able to make a phone call.
I doubt it is a SIM problem as it works fine with another phone.
I have searched other threads but no luck to find a solution so far.
Could you please advice or direct me where I can find a solution?
Thanks for your help in advance!
3 things I can think of to remedy this:
1. try to find an updated radio rom, although I doubt you'll find one
2. Buy a real TD2, they're pretty cheap now
3. Don't hold the bottom left corner
Thank you cmstackar!
I cannot find updated radio ROM.
The one I have is Windows Mobile 6.5 English, Marvell PXA310 1GHz, 256 MB DDR, 256 MB Nand, Wifi, GPS.
Everything is working except the signal problem.
Well, I contacted the seller. They said "try flashing the phone first and the problem still exist, you need to return the phone back to repair."
I guess it is hardware problem.
At least, the seller is responding which is a good sign and hope they can repair or replace.
