Dodgy Nokia 5210 - GSM-Forum

Andym-uk11 · 08-17-2003, 11:38

Hi to all.
I have a 5210 on T-Mobile (actually open to all networks), but there seems to be a few probs with it, they are:
1. When I`m using it, the person on the other end reports a bad echo.
2. My voice starts to fade out shortly after connecting to someone.
3. I live in a good T-moby signal area, but some times the phone shows no signal on the screen even though my wifes phone shows full strength, when I try to locate T-moby manually, it tells me that the access is denied.

I am thinking of buying a new internal antenna in the hope that this will do the trick. I would appreciate any pointers in order to get this sorted. Im not up on the "lingo" as it were, so abreviations etc may cause me to scratch my head, ha ha.

Thanks very much
Andym.

If your phone not 26Mhz on AFC out control , then it is COBBA poor solder !

Thanks for the replys, I have tryied my Orange Simm in the phone and that seems to be fine, it does`nt drop out of signal at all.
How would I find out if the phone is 26Mhz on AFC out control(and what does that mean?) also, poor solder on the COBBA???
Im sorry for being a bit dull on all this, could anyone explain in simple terms?

Thanks again for the two replys!!!
