Dear iFixit, I am having a problem for a bit with my old 3GS: I get very poor connection when 3G is enabled. Basically, I have some network for a few minutes (10-15, it varies) then switches to “searching” and then “No Network”. I usually don’t get any network back. It is interesting to note that when 3G is off, I have absolutely no problem getting a stable GPRS/EDGE connection. I am currently running iOS v6.1, but I have this problem for ages. Therefore my question is: Is there a different antenna for 3G and EDGE/GRPS? Would you recommend changing it? Regards,

Hi, i had the same problem with an old 3GS. It was an error in the logic board, without a chance to fix it.
can this problem be solved in same manner for android phones?
