Sensation XE Weird Death Grip (Different from others)

[leviathian]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. Well not new to xda, but new to the Sensation family. Just sold my old Tab 7 for this baby. I've read a lot about issues with death grip on both Sensation and Sensation XE where the WIFI drops to zero in landscape mode. However, what I experience is totally different. Firstly, what's affected is my mobile network instead of WIFI which works fine in both orientations. Secondly, from what I've read, the place affected should be the top side of the phone. For my Sensation XE, it's affected when I hold the BOTTOM side of my phone. In where I live, I get 2 bars of 'H' signal, and when I hold my phone in portrait mode, signal automatically drops to zero, network not WiFi. And when I want to do landscape mode, I have to hold the top side of the phone in order to get 2-3 bars signal. But when I hold my phone using both hands, top and bottom, my signal automatically reduces to zero. Can someone tell me what's going on with my phone? I'm quite new with my Sensation and when I do research, all I can find is WiFi death grip issues, not mobile network issues. Any suggestions on what I can do since I use mobile network as my primary internet connection?

Thanks in advance,
Sensation Noob.

Are you rooted or running a stock device? I ask because being stock your limited as to what you can and can not do. If your rooted , you can try flashing a different radio/ril and see if that brings you a stronger more stable signal..

I am rooted. How do I do this? I never flashed radio/ril before using samsung phones. *confused*

Thanks for giving attention to my question.

What is the difference between radio and ril? In here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 the guide shows how to flash radio file, but what do I do with the ril file?
