What part should I look for if I think wifi hardware is broken? Is it the lower antenna? Or upper.. or ?
( can't toggle wifi on at all no matter after flashing stock firmware back etec )

I'm having a problem with my diamond, at work I connect to the wifi hotspot there but I don't get very good signal, tested with another device(ipod touch) and it has full signal and works without disconnecting. Mine disconnects randomly when it looses the signal completely. I'm using stock wwe 1.93 rom with radio 1.08.25.08. Is there a way to make Wifi work better? Maybe changing the radio will fix it? I saw in another thread that weak wifi signal would be the cause of a disconnected wifi antenna inside the phone. I really don't wanna slice open my phone as I'm pretty noob at this. Any other recommendations would be great! Thanks in advance
does anybody know how to try and fix this?
try your Wifi with an AP at home and if you have the same problem, use your warranty. You can try with the programm Wififofum to see the Db that your phone is indicating near the AP (10->80 DB ( 80 is far of the AP)). I hope it will help you.
Hello
I bought the P880 about two weeks ago.
Unfortunately I notice a WiFi issue ; I don't know if this is affecting only my phone or if all p880 have this issue.
At low WiFi signal the download speed is very low compared with other LG phones.
Strange is that the upload speed is always better in the above conditions.
This issue is present only at low WiFi signal on good signal there is no problem.
I don't know if is a HW problem or a SW problem.
Maybe the WiFi chip is not as sensitive as the chips from previous LG phones.
Also is possible to be a SW issue (maybe is something wrong in the WiFi RF calibration)
Or maybe my phone has a fault.
Below is link from a video where I compared WiFi speeds between LGE730/LGP990black/LGP940/LGP880/LGP990white connected to the same network in poor signal conditions.

If any of the users of the p880 notice this symptom please let me know.
Thank you

My phone works quite ok under poor Wi-Fi signal coverage, so I am pretty sure that ur phone has some problems, which ROM are u using?try to flash the ROM again, if you still having this issue, i would recommend you to send ur phone back to LG for repairing.
Go to wifi settings, en press the menu button click advanced and uncheck the box wich says: Avoid poor connections.

I have the same issue. At the same place my previous Huawei Ideos X5 got stable connection although poor, but this Optimus 4x gets on and off connection.
This poor wifi connectivity is very annoying.
Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to exchange the phone because I don't have waranty.
Now after some good weeks spend with the P880 I also noticed the latency over wifi is high.
For example the ping on other phone was 12ms and on the P880 is always greater then 180ms.
I hope the optimus G will be released soon in Europe and hopefully then I will get rid of this wifi problem
I'm now with a ping of almost 1900ms, but I'm in a shopping centre almost without signal At home generally is around 12ms.

What ROM are you on? You can also flash the stock one.
I don't think so it is a Rom problem
It's more of the hardware
Hey there, long story short
Had some dust inside the camera lens (scratches all over the case etc)
Sent it to service, they changed everything from the outside so now it looks brand new.
Problem? Wifi reception now is really bad if you get 1 meter away from the router it will drop the wifi, the only way to get full bars is literally putting the phone on top of the router. It has the same IMEI so it is still my phone, maybe they have put some kind of glue inside that is blocking the WIFI reception? Maybe its Software related? I flashed the same ftf I used to flash before so that should flash the firmware and the software part of the wifi right?
What do you reccomend me to do?
Thank you guys
