that certainly sounds like the 1st batch of ipoo4, reception and signal problem it encountered

any solution for this?i just updated the FW last week and it seems to be the same...

sorry sir, i got no idea about this matter....... personally nvr face this problem b4 (touchwood~~~)

the problem occured after u updated to v30? or already existed b4 u update?

perhaps u wanna ask forumer kyu85, hengguowei and quantum_thinking regarding this matter, they're nokia/symbian pro

the problem already occur before i updated the FW in hope that it would be better..but than, no difference...so i might send this hp to the centre and pay for the service repairs..since this hp is bought from SG..

then it shouldnt be anything related to the fw.....

yup...antenna problem i think...do you think that the signal boosters stickers will work?

it sound like antenna problem... my 97mini still working perfectly... no matter how i hold it,the signal still the same... i haven heard 97mini have such problem b4...

search in youtube for The Smartphone Antenna Performance - Nokia N97 mini...mine is like tht...when hold at the bottom the signal will drop..

This remind me about the youtube video that shows the same thing as well when IP4 has such a problem. I think it would be possible as well, but i do not think your hold is a "death grip" factor only. Maybe your area signal is weak? Just like Maxis, in my hometown living room, full bar, in my room, one bar or no line.

Anyway, i do not think using the bumpers like IP4 could solve this issue well unless you are not planning to use the keyboard. If you are only using it for normal purposes like call and sms, switch to gsm mode for the network. It would be more stable in this way for calling and sms purposes.

this is getting really weird and spooky already......

but if really coverage problem, then dont worry..... my room digi no line, maxis half bar, celcom forever full.....

its nt to say no line....in my living room, its full coverage...with 3.5G...but on the same spot i hold it in my hand...the signal drops to 1 bar...and hard for me to send msg or to make a simple phone call... =.=. but for GPS signal, its good enough..

now is the 7th month in lunar calendar, many "weird" things can happen

lol...nah..nthn like tht....even in broad daylight?...hmmm

i think no 1 here have the same problem as u... better u go nokia centre check up with them...

hmm k....i dnt knw still under warranty or nt...lolx....dono whr the warranty card and i dnt think it will cover here...coz gt sticker at back sayin Nokia Pte Ltd Singapore..hmmm...

send back to sg?

waaa...so far.. =.=..just tahan la.gt no choice...huhuhuh

then u can try dropby nokia service center to check with them wat the problem as well as how much would it cost if repair in m'sia...
