You can not make any calls, please help
had this problem the batter cover has a meatl signal booster, so if your battery cover is not on then you wont get any signal.
If thats not the problem maybe your phone is barred, if so contact your metwork and they can fix it for you.

I have a problem with the antenna signal,it sometimes drops by itself,and I even miss calls.Is there any software solution or is it a hardware fault?Thanks in advance!
I think you have a hardware issue. This phone has excelent signal. Everybody loves it for this thing.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I have this problem too.When try to make call signal jumps with 20% then after a minute signal drops back.Every day i miss calls.Tried to find solution but no hope for now.
I have the same problem too. I have changed the system and problem has reappeared. If it is a hardware issue how can be this resolved? By changing the antenna or...?
Its ur remote area tht u living in, not the phone..
Hello,
When battery is low like 10% or less I'm unable to make or receive calls. Is this normal? When I connect it to charger problem dissapears :/
Thanks!
are you using juice defender by any chance?
No, all standard out of the box
But does it appear any popup saying you can't, like the camera's flash, or it just doesn't work?
Nope, just when i try to make a call it takes few seconds and then call is cancelled. When I try to call to myself it goes straight to voicemail. As soon as charger is connected problem dissapears.
Mine works fine
Even at 1% I can still call and talk to someone but then you get really disappointed when the phone turns off due to flat battery
The only thing I can't use is the camera function when the battery is low
Now I noticed that it only happens when within 3g signal. If I manualy change it to gsm only then its fine. How weird
Just to let you know, I've had my s3 exchanged and problem is gone now. Thanks for all your replies.
2 weeks ago, I took my galaxy S2 back to the shop to get it fixed under warranty.
The USB port was broken, as with so many S2's. I got it back after 2 weeks and the port was replaced for free.
But now the speaker doesn't work anymore! So I get no notifications when called or texted or alarm or can't play music, the phone thinks it plays the noise, but it doesn't. Also in the *#0*# menu, when speaker is pressed, nothing happens, no sound at all.
The internal speaker to make a call does work, so you can hear the recipient of the call.
But if that wasn't enough, I also get bad reception where before I would always have great reception. Now it just goes away and the phone almost never gets more than 2 bars, while my friends with the same carrier get full reception. I put my simcard in my other phone and there I have good reception, so it's not the sim card that is the problem. Also the wifi reception is worse. How is this even possible? My phone is worse than before. Before I got 3 bar Wifi connection in my room and 1 bar in the bathroom and now 1 or sometimes 2 bars in my room and no reception in the bathroom.
I reset the phone and everything, also searched the forums and found nothing.
I'm not very eager to send it in again, since they make them worse than before.
Anyone got a solution?

send it back to service center
Hello, people!
I have the following problem: my galaxy s3 recognizes the wifi networks around. Sometimes, when the wifi is full of signal, my phone can connect. In this case, if I turn around or lost one of the signal bars, the phone still connected, but I can't open any website, or use the whatsapp app.
However, in general, I can't connect in any wifi network. What can it be? I've tested a lot of ROMs, kernels, but I still have no results.
Thanks!
You have a hardware fault, possibly the aerial module.
So I have to change the wifi board?
as far as i know the wifi module is part of the main motherboard, so if thats broken than a whole motherboard or phone replacement would have to be done
however it could be a broken aerial or a loose aerial cable ( just because it will identify a full signal doesn't necessarily mean the signal is strong enough to support data flow).
if you can get your hands on an aerial and are brave enough to open up your phone, then its worth the shot, otherwise just take it to a service center and theyll find out whats wrong with it
As the title goes I tried to make a GPS fix buy adding a little thin plastic under the pins showed in the video tutorial I used but after assembling back the phone noticed that I cannot connect to 2G anymore. I switch to 4G and 3G with full coverage but when I try to went back on 2G the network signal drops and phone says "Emergency calls only". I opened it again and removed the plastic board and switched it on and got slmost perfect 2G coverage but my microphone stopped working - nobody was able to hear me speaking so I opened it again and added a little card board piece on the place and now I have good mic with good 4G/3G signal but again with no 2G signal again. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong ? Also where are the exact places of the 2G/3G/4G/GPS antenas ? I travel a lot on places with low 4G and even low 3G coverage so I really need the 2G mode again. Please help me fix it as it was before. I need 2G more than GPS so if somebody tell me how to reverse this would really appreciate it, thank you !

Ima follow this one closely. Mine has the very same issues ive bassicly asked the same thing
Mine does it one all three. Rarely picks up 2g gsm network gets crappy 3g and lte. I use lte discovery to verify all this. Now i have noticed that if i pinch the chin or hold the phone like laying in bed only by the chin i get killer signal and even pick up 2g at the same time as lte.
I watched other devices all get band 5 lte and gsm at the same time.
I cant find any confirmation on where the antennes are even located in this device.
Today I noticed that my sim tray stays slightly out of the phone body so I tried to push it in and it wasn't going any furder as before. So I though there must be something in the tray preventing it to push in till the end and I used a magnifyer to see inside and noticed a small plastic that seemed from the same material of the pick I used to open the phone so I got it out and now the sim tray is closing nice again and now I'm able to connect to 2G but still the reception is not good as it was and it drops from time to time... Still this is an advance in the right direction. I think I had broken or bent or moved something slightly off place from these several interventions so I'm f****d up.
Please guys don't try to make any gps fixes because you will do more harm than good ! That is my advice !
If still somebody can help me, please write ! Thank you !

Please share where the f**k is the 2g/3g/4g cellular antennas PLEASE !!!!
Nobody here is engineer at LG. And nobody here has any real solution for GPS / 2G / 3G fix. Looks like GPS breaks again even after sending it to repair. This LG G5 has been the crappiest phone I ever bought. I'll be buying a G6 soon.

The 3pins in the video are for the Volume buttons. The REAL GPS antenna are the ones next to the headphone jack.
So far I experimented that the cell antennas lies at the top of the phone since covering the top-middle section of the phone Cell signal drops.
Maybe the plastic shim you put in is too thick that it's interfere with other internal components, like the black RF antenna ribbon that runs across the top section of the G5. See if removing the plastic piece resolves the problem
Hi guys,
Just want to let you know that I gave the phone to a service and they found out that I broke some of the pins even without noticing. That is why this problem occured! They were able to replace them so now my phone is live and kicking again with full network coverage on all bands (2g,3g,4g). So happy with it ! So go ahead and bring your phones to a repair service center and make sure it will be a good one! First I went to affiliate LG service and they told me that most of the things are unrepairable and will have to change the whole motherboard which costs as a new phone so I lost any hope fixing it but later a friend of mine recommended another service where the guy told me he will inspect all the parts of the phone and will call me if he finds anything suspicious or broken. So I left the phone and after 2 days he called back and told me that 4 pins were broken and 2 more damaged and bent badly. He also told me he thinks that if we change them the problem should be solved so I agreed and he did fantastic work on the phone and now works as new !
So don't be disappointed and find a good service where they can try to help you. Also when you are doing some mods to your phones please be very careful!! I confess that I wasn't careful while doing the mod - I was at work and even didn't had the necessary tools for the task, also the colleagues were around and distracting me so I wasn't able to focus entirely on the task and did more harm than good! Good luck !
Thread may be closed, problem solved !
