i777 reception

[don27dog]

Hello all
I recently purchased a used at&t i777 and i am getting horrible reception and lots of dropped calls. I love the phone but it is basically useless as I am only getting 2 bars in known areas of great coverage. I have flashed back to stock at&t ics rom and opened the phone up and replaced the loud speaker/antenna without any improvement. Ihave also tried flashing all the modem roms I could find without any improvement. Right now I am open to any other suggestions.

Problem solved if anyone else has the issue.

I changed the Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon and every thing is back to normal.

I recently replaced my charging port and NOW I'm having issues, lol, going to open it back up to sees if there are loose connections or anything

jrod,

I had problem with the 1st cheap one I bought from china off ebay. I bought one from a USA seller for a dollar or two more and it works flawlessly.

Its weird how the charging port effects it. On my i777 it got a little wet inside the port. Could tell this by corrosion when taken apart. Waiting for flex cable to come in so I can charge it up.
