[Q] One V Death Grip Prob

Hi...Anyone noted signal drop in wifi and radio signal when holding the in normal position?

Oh yes, I'm happy because I have an iPhone 4 feature :-(

Yes even i feel the signal drops when u hold it in a certain way. Not very sure where though.

I'm not losing signal (yet) but it definitely is dropping 1-2 bars.
Will a case help like it did for the iPhone deathgrip?
edit: fail, somehow i was in the V instead of X forum. but sounds like the same problem for all of them from what I'm reading/experiencing.

I think you were out of your element (somebody had to say it!)

mine too. when I put it on the table I got 4-5 bars. but when I pick up the phone to reply a message, my signal drops a.k.a. No Service... ****. it's supposed to be a great budget phone, isn't it? if this death grip is one of their feature, this feature is definately uncool.
if this problem can be fixed, they better fix it soon..

Just use the one V for a short period of time but did not encounter this problem.

Same here..

My One V absolutely does not have this problem. Neither did the unit reviewed by gsmarena.com:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_v-review-750p7.php
We tested the phone for death-grip and we didn't find any problems - Wi-Fi signal drops if you completely cover the top plastic panel on the back, but the reception still remains quite strong. Cell signal didn't budge.

I also have this problem. My One V always drop 2 bar when I pick up the phone. While other mobile with the same network, the signal is full.
I contacted Call center once. He told me it's because of my network operator. I should try other operator but I don't want to change my number.
So, I still hope new firmware will solve this issue.

There is a solution posted in this forum...try it...
I don't know why my V is probably the most faultless phone I have ever bought only seconded with the Desire..

[Q] Weak Wi-fi

So I'm liking my One X, but the Wi-Fi strength is weak. On my iPhone i could get signal all over my room, and i get none on the one x and it's really not that far from my router.
Any help?

Send it for repair. It's known hardware fault(the pins that make contact with the antena are bended so they don't put pressure on it->weak signal). I hope my answer help you+search for the thread in this forum section about the issue.

It's not one of the older ones with the Wi-Fi fault though. Sending it back to repair won't do anything.
Is there no firmware/software fix?

Yeah a firmware will fix it. Dubbed 2.Keep.56.Dreaming

The pinch thing does nothing to it so it's not hardware.

Mine is the same. Been for repair. No problem. Signal bars say otherwise. And battery agrees.

Not sure if I'm just mis reading your post but do you mean it still isn't working?
Wouldn't surprise me, they didn't repair mine two times. They just reflashed the software lol
Send em in again, same process, just tell htc that they really need to sort out their service centers or start doing repairs themselves, and that your hox still having problems
Even if the pinch fix doesn't work, it could be that your antenna pins are bent, but the polycarbonate bits they added to make it stronger, are now stopping the pinch fix working
What I mean, is that they did half the repair, it's supposed to be a replacement main board, so the pins are new and not deformed, and then also the polycarbonate bits so it doesn't re occur.
Sending it for repair again is the best option

That doesn't mean it isn't hardware. My above post explains the fix. In your case I suspect that even if you don't have an older model, the pins could have still been bent on assembly in the factory. So basically you already have the polycarbonate spacers, but also 'pre' bent pins, so bad wifi signal but the pinch test doesn't work, because the spacers are there.
Send it for repair hope this helps.

Really don't want to send it for repair, that's going to take absolutely ages. I'd rather just get a different phone if there isn't a software fix.

Depending how long you've had it, you might still be within a replacement period with your retailer.
Hardware can't be fixed by software :-\
Just my opinion, htc screwed up big time with the qc on this phone, they rushed it. However, when it works it is a truly brilliant phone. Wifi is also really good when it works, compare your situation (which I was in, crap signal even when next to router) to now being able to connect when I'm about 200 metres from my house. I've never seen such a small device have such a great wifi signal.
It's worth the wait

Think I'm just going to return it and get another phone. Probably Galaxy S3.

My WiFi signal is also weaker than on other phones, like my old HTC Desire. It's a bit annoying to be honest, but that's the only problem I have with my phone (got it in april). It's not the WiFi bug, sadly.

This method work perfectly for me,and for other users.
If you are not scare to open your phone fallow this steps like in tutorial.
Method 1
1: open your phone to reveal what is inside
2: pull up those connectors shown in photo
3: close back
4: everifing is fix
Method 2
Instead of pulling up thouse pin ,use a soldering iron and put some soldering on the spot where pins touch the antena .
THIS WORKS BECOUSE AFTER THAT THE CONNECTOR APLY MORE PRESURE TO ANTENA AND NOW THE CIRCUIT IS COMPLETE
Hope this will fix all your problem with GPS, WIFI, Signal

I will attach a few screen shots with GPS test results after i fix the antena.
I will mentioned the sky was clowdly and it was raining
I m not responsible if anything happens with your personal phone
This method worked perfectely for me

Excellent - this is the only thing that actually fixes this hardware issue.
I follwed your tutorial. Bought a pack of 5 plectrums off EBay for 99p to open the HOX like you did in the video.
Best 99p ever spent.
A lot better than sending phone away for 2 weeks only to hope it may be fixed.
Took 5 minutes, did it myself and don't lose all your data like you do sending it to HTC.

As I mentioned in another post, I had given up hope on my GPS, but didn't want to send off my One X due to root, custom ROM and stories of long waits without the phone actually being fixed.
This fix worked perfectly for me.
If you are having GPS problems and have the nerve, I suggest you try this.
Gabrielvl, thanks again.

Didn't really notice a difference for me (HTC One X Intl) and on top of that, i broke a wifi pin and damaged a network pin....
All seems to be working (GPS is still a bit weird), does anyone know if wifi will work properly on one pin and network on a slightly damaged pin?

You can try to soldering a wire from brocken pin to antena. If u can do that your problem will be fix. I know for sure becouse a friend happening the same like you and he fix with a wire

I dont have a soldering iron and i'm not gonna buy one just for a pin. I havent noticed any wifi problems, I still connect to 2.4GHz and 5Ghz and speed is still the same and with the network, its on 1 or 2 bars but i am inside and it usually is on that anyway and the GPS is not fixed, if anything, worse. But again, i am inside.

If it would work properly on one pin, thew would only have one pin to start with.

Soldering wires is not a good solution, they will act as antennae, which are a specific length tuned to the desired frequency.

Outside the gps was pretty good, the wifi is only one one pin and i notice no difference. GPS gets about 20 inside (used to be about 25-30) and outside i get about 35-40 (same).

I you are satisface with that, dont do anything

OH GOD GUYS PLEASE STOP this is the same thing that I saw back in the Desire HD forums, and it ended poorly for pretty much everyone.
Do NOT try this unless you are out of warranty, the GPS antenna connectors are VERY thin and VERY weak, and it is VERY easy to SNAP them!

You are right..,is not a easy job to do. I manage to do that becouse i have some experience with hardware,and i know wend to STOP ,not pulling to much...
Bat for those who have problem with GPS and ,the phone is not in waranty is a chance to fixit.
ONE MORE TIME TRY NOT TO BROKE ANYTHING

Hello,
i registered to this forum to thank you.
My GPS what not working at all from months. I did exactly what you descibe and it's now OK.
I must warn everibody because opening (and reclosing) a HTC One X is very touchy. So do it only with experience. At a moment i was thinking i would have to buy a new HTC but a manage to reclose it properly.
Bye !

[Q] HTC changes motherboard because of unlocked bootloader after wifi problem.

Hello,
I did unlock my bootloader on mij HOX. but used the manuals here to reset my phone to factory settings. (loading the original ruu)
Now i have a wifi problem, wifi reception is very poor. I had to send my phone in to check it.
The company tells me that the mainboard has to be replaced because of the non legal software on the HOX.
Does anyone had this experience?
It takes me € 250,- to change the mainboard.
But i don't know if the wifi problem is related or not.
any advice?
thanks

I had a problem with WIFI like the one in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
HTC fixed the problem seemed to be a known issue when I spoke to them. They fixed the board not replaced. I think there using the boot loader as an excuse. Hope it helps.

The wifi issue is a minor issue which can easily be fixed. It is because a loss contact between a "gold" plate on the cover and the antenna. See youtube. the fix with aluminum foil works fine for me

[Q] Service Bars

Yesterday I replaced ad USB board (as an old one become faulty and I have had problems with charging the phone). I can confirm I used the appropriate board model.
Today I noticed that my service bars are not as good as they used to be. Generally in the room I usually used to talk and have weak 1 bar service, right now I have no service. I tested my phone outside as well and have a feeling like the phone has no as good perception as it used to have. Another words the service bars wen down everywhere about 20% or so. Phone works fine and I see no other problems. I wonder is there might be something that affects the service bars hardware-wise ? Any ideas appreciated.

The antenna. I think we have 2, one for GSM and one for LTE.
Google for a picture with exact location and try to re-tighten them.
That's all I can think of.

Thanks for suggestions. Yes the one for GPS works fine as I have no problem with GPS (that is the one on a foil. The one for connecting to the tower is a straight wire. This wire goes from the little board (with USB port I've replaced) to the MB. I reopened the phone today and removed the antenna cable. Tested for continuity - OK, cleaned the connectors but still not luck.
I wonder if this could be some compatybility issue or deffective USB board. The board shows T889 rev1.0 so it sound like it's one of the first ones. Unfortunately I made a big mistake (to late) and thrown away old board. It had a problem with the USB post but there was no problem with the signal strength. I wonder if it is common for the usb board to go bad or if there is anything else I could possibly check. I ordered new antenna cable and thinking about getting another USB board, but if this will not fix the problem I'm clueless. I also restored the phone to factory settings to make sure it is not software problem. I need to use this phone daily at work and I'm really pissed off with the problems. PLEASE HELP
Thank you - ARTHUR

Just a question, ,, have you tried flashing the modem? Not sure it would help but maybe rewriting the radio files will help you.
Good luck
