HTC one m8 lower reception than galaxy s2? topic

Hi.
I'm using HTC one m8 for 10 months now.and I have quite a bad reception even when others have good one.
I thought it was my carrier or bad cell tower coverage, but today I have noticed an old galaxy s2, with the same carrier, on the same exact spot, and the galaxy has full reception while my HTC one m8 has only 3 bars.how can it be? Is it defective? Is it normal behavior for HTC one m8? Perhaps I can replace the baseband to get better reception?
Any way to fix this? I'm one the latest official update, 4.4.4 with A-off and root.all stock.

checking reception on a foreign network topic

Hi.
Is it possible to check how good is the signal strength on a network my phone finds but currently cannot connect to (because it is not my home network and does not allow roaming)?
I want to check it because I am thinking about moving to that carrier and I want to check how is the signal strength in my place.
Thanks.

no mobile data after screen replacement [solved] and weak reception topic

Hello everyone,

I'm having isssues with mobile data on my N4 after I replaced my digitizer and lcd screen. I dont have problems with WiFi, I also can call others, and others can call me, same with SMS's, but I can't access the internet. As I disconnect my WiFi, signal bars turn orange or get exclamation mark(tried on both kk and lollipop). It shouldn't be an issue witg the antennas, because SMS and calls work(wich also use cellular). Could be wrong though.

I'm also having weak singnal. In my area there is usually sufficient coverage, but in the moment I one bar indoors, 1 or 2 bars near windows(enough for calling, but too little for mobile data), but I used to have 3-4 bars indoors. Any fix to that?

Any help is welcome. :o

Edit: got access to internet by readjusting APN(duh). Never thought of that beause it usually does it itself.

[Q] Xperia Z3 Antenna Location??? Metal BUMPER case ruins reception??? topic

I've tried to find out online where the antenna is located for the Xperia Z3. Closest I could get to is some pictures, BUT I don't know what's what in the photos...So

Can anyone please let me know where the location of the antenna is on the Xperia Z3?

This will also answer another question I've seen around - will a border / bumper case (so it doesn't cover the back, just the edges of the phone) made of aluminum ruin the reception quality on the phone?
- if the antenna is on the sides of the phone - more than likely, yes
- if the antenna is inside the phone at the back, no.

An extra, anyone else impressed with the reception of the phone? Above and beyond anything I've used before.

Cheers!
