Wifi death grip BUG - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

I bought a used Xperia X (F1521) and everything seemed to be fine expect one bug... Wifi signal drops when I hold my hand on the backside but when I lay is down on the table, it is much better. I tried to reinstall many roms, stock and customs but sadly nothing helps. So is there any software fix for it?

[Q] Touchscreen issues!

Hi everyone
I got a problem with my folio 100.
The touchscreen sometimes not response suddenly for seconds when I playing a full screen game such as Friut Ninja, and then it get right again.
I tried many ROMs, include Dexter's v1.1 n v1.4 n blur1.0, Notion2.0, and even the original TOSHIBA foliostock. The issue always exists. Especially, I found that, when I use multi-touch, the problem is more likely to appear.
I'm sure that's not a hardware problem, because the screen mostly works well.
I always has that problem, in games and normal use. Problem is in bad made parts for Folio-Toshiba fault.

I´ll tell you what worked for me.
Take of back cover and tight every screw, then use an A4 paper and fold it in two.
Then put the paper on top of the battery, there´s a gap between the battery and cover, then close the folio and try it if it helped.
Mine is working great since then, and even better with cyanogen mod 7.
thanks, maybe i'll have a try.
but that seems solves the influence from the battery? I think mine can be a software problem...because i found that the touch screen stoped only when the system seems stucked
Try it , you´ll never know .
And try cyanogen mod also.
Unfortunately with our folio´s it´s a case of trial and error
Oh Gosh it works!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank u a lot!!!
i put in a paperboard rather than a thin paper and then it works!!!
thanks!!! you r so kind!!!!!
hey! try that Portuguese guy's method, just below your reply...it works on my device!! yes !!
and i forgot to say that i've tried the CM before, it's true that it is not very completed yet. and it even may cause some strange problems when you flash a elder system.
new question~
as i said before i used a thick paper. but the problems still appeared several times(much better than before)
however a too thin paper also doesn' work.
did you just used a folded A4 paper??
I had the same problem, but I brought my Folio to service, they gave me a new device, and it works perfectly! If you have a guarantee, it worth a try.
yeah that's true
i gonna have a try, though i've solved that problem by putting a little piece of sponge into the device

hi.
anyone can upload photo?
thanks.
I also had this problem with my Folio.
Putting something in the back between battery and casing helps for a while. But the problem just comes back, only to be solved by placing a thicker piece of paper until it breaks again. It is also not consistent to reproduce (sometimes it works perfect all day, and the next day it is a pain to use)
I had the issue when the Folio was 2 months old. After the 3rd month, I have send it back to Toshiba as I still had warranty.
It is still working now (it must be + 1 year since repair).
thanks, spicy.
i will try this night.
my folio worked perfect until last week.
i flashed android 4.1.2 but no luck.
thanks again.

[Q] Wifi Signal is Consistently Weak Unless I Squeeze the Phone; Hardware Issue?

Hi,
I've been having a somewhat mysterious problem with the wireless internet (Wi-Fi) signal on my SCH-1545, hopefully someone here can help me find a solution.
Details:
At rest, my wi-fi signal is weak, regardless of which network or router is producing the signal.
I use an oversized Anker 7800mAh battery, which adds a considerable amount of weight and bulk to my GS4.
I am currently running a recent snapshot release of Cyanogenmod (11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-jflte). The last time I updated was few weeks ago, but my wifi issue began sometime early this week. Thus, it seems unlikely that the ROM is to blame. For what it's worth, my baseband version is 1545VRUAMDK.
Oddly, after some poking around, I've discovered that applying pressure to the back of the phone near the lock button seems to increase the quality of my wifi connection. For example, at rest right now my phone shows a 30% signal; when squeezed in the aforementioned manner, the signal jump s immediately to 55-60%.
I suspect that there may be some fault with the wifi antenna connector, or with the antenna itself.
My best theory right now is that a mishap or fall with this bulky battery installed may have delivered a shock to the phone's hardware beyond what it is designed to withstand. Consequently, it seems that the wifi system was somehow compromised. I've tried cleaning the wifi contacts as suggested here[1] .
Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone offer a solution?
I can't go on using my phone like this, and to get a replacement will be quite costly. However, if I do end up getting a replacement, I have my eyes on a LG G3
Thanks for your help!

Have your tried doing a factory reset? I know this is a pain in the butt but maybe it will put your mind at ease. Have you dropped the phone or anything that would cause the antenna to suddenly become loose? Is your connection bouncing up and down or is it consistenly just staying low? Also before a factory reset try getting Wifi Analyzer from the app store and check to see whats going on. Just sounds rather buggy that it suddenly started happening.
Same thing been happening to mine just recently. Seems like when I squeeze the battery cover the wifi signal is stronger for a limited amount of time.

If you squeeze your phone and it affects signals take off battery cover and try tightning all the little screws around the phone with the battery out.. might help just saying
Thanks for your suggestions folks, but I still seem to be in a pickle.

I tried a factory reset, didn't seem to help according to Wifi Analyzer (thanks for the app suggestion). As I said in my original post, I fear that drop may have caused this problem: since I use a heavy extended battery, I expect the damage caused by any fall would be magnified.

I attempted this as well - I removed the back cover and ensured all the ribbon cables and antenna cables were making a firm connection, and then I tightened all the cover screws. Nothing seems to have helped. Concurrent with my previous statement, I fear one of the modules (specifically the wifi/bluetooth SIC) on the motherboard may have become slightly dislodged from a random fall.
Does anyone know of a way I can test this theory or get it fixed if such is the case?

i'm in the same boat, my phone is exeriencing the exact same issue. I've got a new back plate on order, hopefully replacing that and the wifi/bluetooth antenna will resolve it.

[Q] Neo V Cam can't connect to camera

Hi, a pleasant day to everyone.
I have my neo v under CarbonRom for several months now. the rom was awesome.
unfortunately a month ago i dropped my phone for like 2 feet. ever since the drop my camera started malfunctioning.
first i lost my front camera. the icon for which i can turn the cam from rear to front was gone. 2nd i lost flashlight capability.
then eventually i lost the whole camera function. I tried reflashing the rom, went from 4.4.4 to ginger based rom, and even to stock ICS firmware and didn't get any luck.
From the looks of my device, i didn't see any hard scratch from the drop, nor a crack/physical damage.
i tried disassembling my device and removed the camera module, reattached and reassemble it back. just to see if there are loose connections.
still no luck...
is there anyone who can advice me of any possible fix for this?
i would really appreciate any help.
other than that the device is fine...
im just wondering if the issue is software/kernel or hardware issue caused by the drop.

LG G2 Fix Bad GPS - Cell Phone Signal in 2-5 min

Due to the many problems with cell phone signal and gps on LG G2, i will show you how to boost your gps and cell phone signal. It's seems to be a manifacture's defect, once you open the back cover and then close it, you can face this problem!
Speaking from Personal expirience
In order to fix this issue, please watch my guide below:

Looks interesting.gonna be try.
Man I hope this works! I never had a problem with my GPS until recently. I upgraded to Lollipop and within a 2 days period replaced my LCD./digitizer/frame.
Now I constantly get "GPS signal lost" while navigating. I'll be giving this a shot and will report back after using navigation a few times. I'll know right away if your fix works.

just do it!
Anyone tried this? Any feedback?

Well I tried your fix and I'm very happy to say my GPS has been working flawlessly ever since! Almost instant lock and no more "GPS signal lost" crap. I used a slightly different method (Bondic liquid plastic, Google it, it's awesome!) to elevate the connections on the back cover but it worked and I'm stoked! Thanks for the fix man!

This worked for me for a while, but not for more than a few days. I've now tried a drip of solder on the copper contacts on the back cover, which has been better, but that too has since degraded.
Is this still working for you a week later?
still working

I did this fix 5 days ago and my GPS has been working flawlessly ever since. As you can see in the screenshots i took just a few minutes ago my time to first fix was 1 second, and 13 seconds. That's about as good as it's gonna get!
Try downloading this app and see what you come up with. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
nothing is working for me, my GPS cannot get the right location (1 street away or 10km)
Did you try this fix? I assume you were testing while outside with a clear view of the sky right?

I have ever done this fix, but it didn't improve my gps...
On g2 there is also a software problem, you can try this on (don't forget to save the original gps.conf

I don't think this fix works on VS980.
Tried this fix with an old credit card a couple of months ago and it definitely works.
My initial attempt was using a bit of cardboard but after a while, it started to fail. On closer inspection, I could see that the cardboard starts to mould into the shape of the spring connector and hence loses it's clean contact. Using a piece of rigid plastic to prop the antenna contacts stops this happening. If you look carefully, the lower antenna on the back cover contains a piece of rigid plastic to keep the antenna from deforming.
The easiest way to tell if you've got "faulty" hardware is to firmly squeeze the top right of the phone together (about a cm down from the top) whilst having GPS test running. You should see a sudden increase in signal strength.
FYI, I've got the UK Vodaphone LG G2 = D802
Didn't notice any difference here.
did this today and FINALLY fixed the GPS. (didn't realize i had a GPS issue until recently since i rarely had use for it before). For anyone who is still trying to fix it...my tips are:
-use a guitar pick to pry the back open if you dont have a prying tool
-like in the video, get something like the cardboard off the back of those notepads you get free
-make sure the piece is large enough to go under each connector, the idea is to just give a better connection with the pins
this was the only fix for me. before i couldn't get a GPS lock at all. now i can get it in under 10s
Has anyone tried this fix with a D800?

I use these at work with my phone in my pocket. I have tried front pockets and back. I don't know if the sensor is too dark or its too tight in there (pants/shorts are not tight) or what. If the phone is out of my pocket it works fine 98% of the time. Just today i had it being choppy even when the phone was in my hand. I have also tried using it without the small, slim silicone phone case but with the same results.
I haven't seen much online with the same issues and i don't want to return this phone to get yet another ****ty phone or refurbished one.
Anyone have any ideas?
nobody has had this issue?
I have this issue its a royal pain. I assumed its because the battery is dying but that is not the case. I got so annoyed I had to use ancient methods and plug in a wire between both devices . felt so weird but did the job .
Same problem here
I was having the same problem with my LG Tones Ultras, I was still within my 14 day return with tmobile so i they swapped it and problem is gone. I suggest you get a hold of warranty since still within a year and see if they will sent you a device. Hope this helps. good luck.
thought about it but i dont really want a refurbed one
To add to my earlier post about this issue i simply rebooted my phone just to try and that seems to have resolved the problem. I thought of it since i never have any reason to turn off my device .

Typically when I have BT issues like cut outs and random pop/clicks while listening to audio a reboot is what is needed. Not sure why that solves the problem but when it gets bad that is my only solution and it usually works 100% of the time.
Yes, I've experienced this with my LG HBS-760 headset (which, by the way, worked perfectly with the G4). A reboot typically solves the problem, but only temporarily. I'm very unhappy with this phone, for that reason and also the horrible battery life and the gimmicky/mostly useless second screen. I wish I had kept my G4.
