Help!!!!

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:32:25 GMT

Hi everyone. I have an Aino and I decided to change the housing. I couldn't figure out how to change the front facing so I left it as is until I was 100% sure as I don't want to damage the phone. Well that precaution was wasted as when I changed the back and the sides I noticed I lost a lot of reception on my phone. I only get reception in strong areas now.

Please does anyone know

1. what I can check or what may have happened?

2. what does the antenna look like? I was assuming it was the black part at the bottom of the phone as I noticed a very very slight graze and I saw copper showing.

3. How to change the front face piece.

thanks

It seems that you got some hardware problem and only sonyericsson service centre or some tech. guy can deal with it,

Unfortunately, it seems that you have damaged your phone and in the process made any warranty you had void.Your best option however, as Jawad has already said, is to take it to an SE service centre.

Yeah I know I damaged it and the warranty is void. I was just hoping someone might know what I damaged and what to check. Thanks guys will contact Sony.

I know it's tempting to do it yourself, but if you end up doing more damage, it's going to cost you even more in the long run.I would suggest you ask SE to also change the front since you're taking it there anyway.

Thats the thig. I dont live in the US. There is no Sony Ericsson where I am. I just love Sony phones and ordered every phone I had online. I'm just trying to confirm what is needed and I will have an experienced technician fix it. I just like to confirm the issues as the Aino is new to technicians and so I want to know what the problem is or may be so I know what the technicians are speaking about or least that they know what they are speaking about.

I have similar problems with Aino's reception, although I have not even opened the front cover.

I have brought the phone back to SE and they suggested that the software be updated. Well, still no luck. Maybe SE team would like to answer your problem in this forum ?? With my other SE, same location the reception is much much stronger. It seems that is the weakness of Aino itself.
