View Full Version : BIG Reception Problem (Fast keinen Empfang bei MDAc mehr)

Hi,
I've got a serious problem with my Magician.

I used the antenna cable connector to get better reception yesterday when I had to drive a longer distance, but when I took out the connector it seems that the MDAc didn't switch back to internal antenna. I've got nearly no reception (~10% as usual). Driving back (without external antenna) I only have signal directly in front of a antenna tower. Normal phone use was not possible. Normally I have 1 -2 reception holes during the hole way.
What have I done to solve the problem:

1. Soft-Reset: nothing changed
2. Hardreset:
3. reinstallation of Radiostack 1.05.00 and Hardreset

nothing brought a difference.

Hope the external antenna didn't damaged my Magician phisycally.

Hope someone can help


P.S.: Is the german T-Mobile Radio stack 1.00.10 somewhere available, so that I can try it with this stack? But I'm pretty shure that the radio stack isn't the problem, because it worked perfect for more than 2 weeks.

@Saege: you can try to remove the cover of the antena-plug on the back side to check out if everything flipped back where it should be. i don't think it has anything to do with the phone stack itself.

cheers, lutz

Hi,

I had also reception problems....

I have found the the internal antenna is a metal plate you can see when you take the upper back cover off. The metal plate has 2 lips that go to the mainboard (you can see them at the top). you have to take a look if the lips are pressed good against the mainboard.


To open the upper back cover put a very thin and pointy object into the holes marked by the red arrow's.



The second picture show the antenna connection to the mainboard, the lips have to be on the golden squares on the mainboard.

I have problem too with the signal.

If the XDAmini just came from a no-signal location, the signal comes back very slow. Sometimes you need to soft reset to get it back the soonest.

Please help.

Have been trying everything that has been said in this post about the non-reception on my magician.
In the last 2 days, I only had reception (1 bar) for like 2 minutes, and then nothing...

Is there anything else I can try or test or do to get it running?
Separate/replacement/external antenna to check if the gsm module is still ok and that it's an antenna-issue...?

any help is very welcome!
thanks
