Just discovered that the inc2 will not connect to a tower if the battery door is open. i had taken it out to do a hard reboot and thought i had a bad rom flash but got the network connectivity back as soon as i put the door back on. everybody please keep this in mind! this was not the case with the inc 1 so it took me a while to figure this out.
Helpful, thanks for the heads up!
of course yes , i have mention it when gone to HTC here because bad network signal , they answer me that battery door rules is to amplify the signal .

do those sticky things you can buy on ebay really work, you just stick them on the back of your phone/battery and they are supposed to improve the reception.
also, on the back, under the little rubber bungs there are ports to plug in aerials for the BT and Wi-fi, anyone know were i can get the plugs alone or the plugs/aerials as a whole.
cheers.
one friend give me one of them as a gift and i put on the back of my IIs (sticked on the housing under the battery) and don't seems to work, no improvements reported...in my house i have poor phone signal so it's not difficult to see if any change in signal strenght occur
I wished they did...I just put my Uni back in its box, because the service is so bad. Not that it's anyone's fault but mine because I knew the phone's specs, but I'm tired of the constant fluctuation of service because of the constant.
Back to my QUAD BAND Sony Ericsson W810 I go...
Man, I couldn't go back to a phone if I wanted to... PDA's are just the way forward.

I know man...but the W810 is the only phone I can ever go back to. It's just gotten ridiculous...I love my Uni, but I actually USE the phone part of it a lot. And the lack of that 850 band has been killing me lately.
i have just witnessed another spontaneous reboot on my defy+,
the 3rd in the last week...
the phone is stock, not rooted.
is there a way i can track this down?
Hi,
Had this issue with the first Defy Plus I received. It seemed to be related to connection to a 3g network. I just sent the phone back and got a replacement.
Regards
interesting. might be worth a shot if nothing shows up here, but the truth is that i am in 2g mode all the time..

Had a similar problem with my defy after changing batteries. Old battery less reboot. Tap the back cover just off center towards the camera lens- reboot? I found out the length of the new battery was just a few thousandths of an inch shorter, you could hardly tell the difference with the batteries inserted just a little more play than the other. I put a piece off electrical tape and stuck it on the end opposite of the terminals. Just one thickness of electrical tape is all it took. I had also used the mc Giver Method of keeping my phone going during a flash that could have been partly attributable. Anyway, that solved my rebooting problem. The voltage just needs to drop below three and the phone will die. You could also have the battery capacity indicator out of adjustment. However if your using a defy sbf in a defy+ who knows?
If all you usually get is 2G, shut off your 3G and see if this helps. I have noticed my Defy goes a bit nuts if it searches around for 3G and finds it intermittently.

actually i have forced 2G mode, i use little data outside wifi, if i need more i simply switch manually. it extends the battery life quite nicely.
the battery and how it fits is an obvious candidate of course,
i will look into it. reading about other phone reboots, another
candidates are sim card and sd card. i will move them around
a bit as well after the next reboot. i have just gave it a throughout
massage and it did not reboot... so no easy reproducing this way.
or it's simply hw issues and/or OS glitches..
there is a defy thread where the reason was supposedly
trying to connect data when low signal..
i might never know, that's the frustrating part..
A mate from South Africa had the same problem and it was due to his old simcard
I had this problem with my defy in the beginning, and so I moved onto CM7
Also happened when i brought a cheapo battery
So you can try this
Use phone with a different sim for a day
Use phone without/another sd card for a day
Change batteries for a day
and if they all restart then take it back or flash a new rom
Some operators roms are really bad and have a lot of problems, I have very bad experience with this
Try CM 7.2 or MIUI =)
I have noticed lately that my service is way worse than normal, there arent many places I can even use this phone anymore, I first noticed this not too long after I had flashed the newest liquid 3.2 rom, then went on a job all aaround the south east for about 2 weeks. I thought 228 would fix it but no, so I went back to sense (sabatoge), and no change, then I went to mikrunny, still no change, I keep doin full wipes in between, everything but sd card, I even flashed the newest radio, I was on 722, still no change, I can't figure this crap out but my phone is almost useless now, o, and battery life sucked since then too, anyone else having similar issues?

I've been having literally the same issue and it started when I flashed a random rom

Battery life is relevent to signal strength. Crummy signal = crummy battery life. Make sure that your battery cover is on tight. The antennae connectors are actually on the back of the battery cover and if it is not making a good connection then your signal will be dramatically affected.

My gps wouldn't work for a while. Turned out the pins that connect to the cover weren't actually making a connection, so I pulled them up, GENTLY of course, and now they connect and my gps works great

Well I pulled the connector prongs up and scraped them, seems to have helped, there was some kinda gunk on the anttena, but I was afraid to try and clean it off cause I was afraid that the paint that is the antenna would come off

As for you battery life you may try a battery calibration. For some reason when you switch between some ROMs the battery stats get all confused and crap so you have to calibrate it.

Thanks for this! I'm on mobile and can't hit thanks right now, but I bent the prongs out on my phone and the signal improved drastically! I was planning to send it back for a replacement if the signal didn't improve. Now to re-s/off and reroot since I undid all that to verify the problem was not software. Which ROM to go with though? Hmm:-*

Hi,
Can i ask why did you remove the battery?
I need to open my E9+ back cover but i don't know how. Can you tell me how to do that with some picture or video please.
Thanks in advanced.
Reopen and check for Antenna cable. You mist have accidentally unplugged it.
Yesterday i replaced battery in amazon fire phone bought from amazon USA. after replacing and charging wifi signal disappeared. when placed fire phone on the modem it start picking up wifi signal. Can anyone tell me what i did wrong.. I am assured that i didnt touch any part of the cell phone inside.just smoothly removed battery and closed cover.Anyone give me suggestion...
Thanks in advance
You might have loosened the antenna connectors when replacing the battery. They mentioned that in the following link.

Helpful website. but I couldn't find where is the antenna which I loosened it...need disparate help..
Same Issue Please Help!
I replaced the battery, and just after, discovered the phone would only pick up 5GHz WiFi bands when it was extremely close to their sources.
I followed that link, opened up the phone, checked those connections(which turned out to be perfectly fine) and broke something else...a pin right above the WiFi connection and just below the big camera. The one that came off was in the middle.
What do these pins do, and how do I fix them? Also, what is wrong with my WiFi antenna?!?
