I've searched and haven't found anyone else with a similar problem.

So I've replaced the front assembly on my phone and upon reassembling the phone, I've been getting low signal. 1-2 bars. everything else works fine.

I checked everything. the little blue resistor next to the antenna plug. all the connections. even cleaned all the metal to metal contact points. still low signal.

then i noticed that when i remove the back cover, my signal goes back to normal. so pretty much the only thing that the back plate is functional for other than a cover is the little metal contact point next to the battery screw. so i put a piece of tape over that and still no luck.

has anyone experienced anything like this? if so, any solutions?
