replaced digitizer, now weaker reception

[Guest romka99]

Hi,

Just wondering in anyone else experienced this.

I replaced the screen digitizer and it's working amazingly well(!!), but I feel like the phone reception is now weaker.. is it possible that there's interference of some soft from the new digitizer?

many thanks..

The only thing I can think of is that the old digitizer was acting like some kind of antenna.

if i remember correctly when i changed my digitizer i had to disconnect the antenna cable (small black wire on the left side),

make sure you reconnected it properly, maybe that's what causing the problem.

thanks.. i'll make sure it's not hanging.. i didn't have to disconnect it though.. actually, i didn't even have to remove the circuit board, managed to attached the digitizer connection with tweezers :D

i'm at work now and do have full bars.. last night at home i was only getting one, maybe two bars.. thought the reception was better than that.. but maybe it's just me..

btw, i still can't get over how much better and more accurate and responsive my screen is now!!!

Don't mean to be a downer but enjoy the sensitivity while it lasts a lot of people who have replaced their touch screens have noticed it become less responsive after a month or so, if yours is different please let us know. 

And chances are if you're antennae wasn't properly attached you wouldn't be getting much of a signal anywhere unless you work under a cellphone tower.

I replaced my digitizer about 3 months ago and by the end of last month it was as bad as it had been before :D

Shame, but do enjoy it while you can.
