Hello guys I really need your help, my brother managed to cut the two antennas on my evo 3d, they are bluetooth and wireless, I brought in a technician and he put two new but not original, bluetooth and wireless work very well, but no gps works and when it works well signal gets weak. Can someone tell me oq is happening and a possible solution specific kernel? Thank you.
Well considering the other two antennas were damaged, I'm guessing something happened to the gps antenna as well. A kernel won't fix it.

The technician said that the antenna gps and bluetooth are the same, he put the new antennas. But the GPS signal is weak.
Well again, if it worked before, and now it doesn't, then obviously it wasn't fixed correctly. Take it back and have them fix it until they get it right.

Hello,
Does anyone know of any antennas or other physical devices that I can use to boost my cell phone's signal? In my apartment in Connecticut, I drop calls all the time while talking but it doesn't really happen anywhere else so I only need to improve the signal in my place. I remember I used to have an actual antenna for my old Nokia phone that would stick to the outside of my car. Also, I once had one of those signal boosting stickers that went on the back of the phone.
If anyone knows of any reliable way to boost the signal on my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 in Connecticut that doesn't involve flashing a new radio, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

Did you wait for the sticker to boot up?
Check these guys out
They seem to have solutions for all cellphone applications
Cellphone-Mate looks reasonable.

let me know how it works! haha
maybe try a different radio?
I know Best Buy sells signal boosters but i remember them being a bit expensive.
unfortunately our devices don't have an external antenna jack, i know the kaiser (original tilt)
Thanks guys.
As far as radios, do I just keep trying one by one until I see an improvement? Is there one that is known of that is stronger than others? The Fuze forum has a thread with people's results voting for which was best. Nothing like that here.

Yes, exactly...you'll need to try out the ones that are available for your model, and just see which one gives the best results in your situation/location. You can read votes and recommendations all day long, but they can have no relation to what results you will see
THIS thread has the complete list of radios available for the Rhodium
Unwiredsignal with a Desktop kit 801247
You can try a Wilson desktop cell phone signal booster. It might work for you. I have one in my home office... (basement) and it covers that area only (20x20) so I think it would be perfect for an apartment. I havent tried it in a larger area, but Unwiredsignal.com says it will cover a one to two room area. There is no physical connection to your phone.
Hope this helps...

Both ATT and TMobile offer microcell. Trialing in various areas.
It uses your existing broadband connection to relay calls to your phone.
Looking at ATTs' website it appears to be $150.00 for the equipment.
Here is a link.

Thanks a lot guys. I'd hate to have to pay 320 for the one on Unwiredsignal.com but I'll look into it.
About a month ago I threw my hero in a fit of rage and since that day ive been unable to get wi-fi working. Now its my understanding that all data, call etc. are made threw the "radio" chip, so if my wi-fi does not work then neither should my BT, Call's and 3G? If I'm wrong on this could it possibly be the WI-Fi is on a separate chip and that its become dislodged from the main board? Or is it just broke and unrepairable ........... hope not
Thanks in advance
Hi All
Hope you can help.
At my workplace, I used to get a signal on my S2. Unfortunatly the USB Port broke, so I had it replaced.
However, I now no longer get a signal at my workplace. My mate has the same phone on the same contract(Virgin Pay Monthly). When we stand at the same spot he gets 3 bars and can call, I get no bars and can't.
Its not the sim as we've swapped them. He gets a signal with my sim, and i don't with his.
My mate who is brilliant with mobiles has tried different Roms, Kernels and Modems and still I get no signal. He's had a look inside the phone and the Antenna seems correctly attached.
i am assuming its hardware related?
Is there anything I am missing?
Thanks in Advance
Mass produced hardware always has quality variance.
I have had the same problem before. The first time I bought a cell phone without a pull out antenna I borrowed the exact phone I wanted from a cousin that had it already and took it to work which has bad signal for a day and used it which just barely worked with one bar. Then I decided I was OK with that and bought the same phone and it always had one bar less then his even out in the open. Needless to say I was unable to use that phone for years in the room I spent 8 hours a day.
You say that he has tried different ROMs, well that is a difference, especially the RADIO part of the ROM.
On my previous phone, HD2, I tried a few Radio ROMS (the roms came in 2 parts a main rom and a radio rom) and noticed quite a difference in signal quality, reception and battery life.

I understood he is saying his friend tried different ROMs on the "failing" phone, in order to solve (unsuccesfully) the problem. Am I wrong?
It seems an hardware problem, for me.
Yep as changed hardware logic is broke something possibly antenna .
jje
Yes, he tried roms, kernels and radios in my phone in order to see whether it would make a difference.
I should point out I get reception in other places. In fact in my flat a full set of bars.
If it was the antenna would I still get some reception elsewhere?
Would the antenna either work or not work, or is that incorrect? Could it have been damaged when the USB port was changed?
If not the antenna what other parts would be likely contenders?
Thanks in advance
What happens at that location if you put your phone into flight mode and then take it out of flight mode?
Nothing really. The airplane logo appears in top bar. It says 'Flight Mode will be enabled' then when i click it again, it says 'Flight Mode will be disabled'
Know if it is a software problem or generalized hardware issue? Is there any fix from Motorola, or from us the community? Thank You!
Whats the issue? Mine seems fine.

WiFi reception is poor when you're a few feet, and there are some in between wall.
I have the problem too. In spanish forum there are some users with the same problem.
I've been getting a pretty solid wifi signal. In fact, it can see way more access points from my house than my old Samsung Galaxy could.
WiFi seems fine to me too. I get solid signal everywhere I should.
A large number of spanish users of this smartphone have problems with wifi.

I bought this phone today and I have the exact same issue. WiFi works perfect until you get behind a wall a little far from the router, then it just crumble and disconnect. It's really strange, because just a feet before that point it works reasonably fine.
I'm from Spain too, btw.
I have the problem too, and I'm from Spain. Wi-Fi disconnects when I got in my room. It's strange because exactly in the door it has connection, and if I move 5 cm it shows autentication error. In a spanish forum everyone reports they have the problem, but Motorola assistance only suggest that we should fix the phone.
Could it possible a software (Lollipop) error that can fix with a simple system update? I mean, Motorola should be working on a solution... but we don't know if it's hardware problem or Lollipop...
Me too From Spain

I have the US GSM xt1527 and the WiFi is working fine on mine. I am getting a decent signal about 75 meters from my house at my daughter's bus stop, and I'm also getting a signal when I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot at work (through multiple walls). Hopefully they fix the problem soon for everyone who is having issues.
Same here, I'm from Spain too. So many defective Moto E's here... that's weird.
Mine also has some strange dirt on vertical strips between the screen and the glass... I'm sending it back to Amazon anyway

This is my experience also. Same version. I guess maybe the model is the key.
I've been using this phone for the past few days, and I noticed that the network signal is really low and non existent in closed environments.
Today, I noticed this YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-QRcGrUK8M that explains how to change the network antenna.
And in the comments I noticed these comments that maybe it's not a non-functional antenna, it could be that one of the connectors are loosened.
The phone is still under warranty so I won't **** with it, and it isn't mine. If someone tries it, it would be nice to post it here because there are a lot of people with that phone that have that problem.
Did you check if the Signal Antenna cable was connected well? Problem might be that. And if the cable was connected well but it still can not work as before, the connetor might be damaged. you can replace it with a new one. hope this can help you.

I've opened my phone again, and noticed one of the connectors had loosened. Connected it back to the motherboard, and started up. Phone instantly had network signal again . Thanks for the response, and thank you for the great tutorials! Upvoted them! ^^

There is nothing such as loose connectivity. Either it's plugged or not. Switch to other modes, 3G, 2G and see if it is the same

Selecting 4G/3G or 2G didn't solve anything.
That seemed to solve problems to a lot of people.
For the past 3 days, I had half to full signal and I was satisfied with it totally, and suddenly it dropped to zero and lost it. I was furious, wasn't sure anymore was it HW or SW related. And I did some search through forums and I saw somewhere that reflashing the modem or baseband via Flashtool can be good.(I found a thread where people selected USA band and lost signal). And I thought to give a try.
When I restarted it, for few seconds it was blank and it went full bars. I was happy af
So reflashing the modem file that comes with the firmware can make solve it (at least in my case)
Now after 3 days, the problem returned. No signal again, so I'll have to flash it again
