Hello everyone,
I have bought a brand new Unlocked LG V20 H910 off of eBay in May. I have bought it so that it would be compatible with T-Mobile in the US and Fido in Canada (it seems that it had all the required bands). While in the US it worked fairly well with T-Mobile. Now that I am back in Canada on the Fido network, the reception is absolutely horrible. At places with my other phone (Galaxy S5) that I have full bars, I get no reception. Also, it seems that it switches tower often as sometimes I will get fairly good reception and then it would start searching and have no bars. I have been trying to figure out what to do about it and this is what I have done for now:
I rooted my h910 using this guide here thinking that maybe it would help. Then, I used only the beginning part of the guide to flash the H915 rom onto the phone hoping that a canadian firmware would work better for me in Canada. I ended up having to pay to re-unlock my phone, but it did not help at all. I tried following this thread here too.
I really don't know what to do anymore. When using T-Mobile SIM card in Canada, it also seems to have a harder time although it is better (it typically connects to videotron or Bell).
Do I need a new phone?
Anybody have any suggestions or ideas?
Thank you for your time.
