YES I use a kind of metalic case.
I have tried several modems with no success...
i have bought it from a person, so i dont know if he had update it from ics :/
before buying this s2 ; i have a s1 ( i9000) and i have 5 bars at home :/

Try without the case.
Try another sim (maybe ur sim is faulty or outdated).
Try backing up and factory reset.

Seems like you have a 'IMEI missing' or 'Corrupted EFS' issue. Search for those topics.
Please post screen shots if possible.

[Q] Apps opening when on a call

Hello,
Apologies if this has been addressed before but I cannot find a solution with my search ability.
When I am on a call for a while, say more than 2-3 minutes, random apps opens automatically. Examples are calendar app, second call is placed to my voicemail, google now etc.
I beleive this is due to the touch screen when there is any contact to the screen when I am on a call. I've tried to clean the screen but still the same problem. All happened since I upgraded to CM10.
Anyone had the same problems or suggest anything to fix this please?
Thanks

I've been using CM9 for a while. Don't remember what I had before CM9 but when I moved to CM9, I did a full wipe and then installed CM9.

This could be ur problem mate! When moving from ICS to JB, a full wipe is RECOMMENDED.
As for ur apps and data, why not backup and restore them?

Test your touchscreen by dialing *#0*# and clicking on 'Touch'.
