After long searching this forum and google, I still cannot come up with the solution.
Is it really hardware fixed?
It is hardware fixed, there is no antenna for it. Impossible to do. End of story.

Thank you
Why would u ask that? Did you?
I've never had any signal problem... I hardly have 5 notches out of 5 though even with 2 I m able to speak with no loss of quality...

gees...
Yeah, the signal strength with the stock radio for me is sub par as compared to the slew of other phones I have laying around here. Its always way down as compared to every other phone I have, even my iphone, which was the reigning king of crap signal. Maybe its possible to get a better signal with a different radio, I dont know? Its mainly just affected in building call performance, and definitely data performance. BUT I love this phone and am going to live with it. I have even thought about trying to rig up an antenna of some sort to experiment. I might try to solder a coil of wire onto the lower antenna/cover, probably wont work but I its an easy experiment.
btw I have tried different roms and reflashed the stocker a bunch of times experimenting with little to no change minus my gps randomly going away after some flashes.
Are we back in high school? What's with all these back and forth comments? Why not help the OP instead of going off topic?
And to reply to the OP, I personally haven't had any (cell) signal problems. The area you are in and how congested it is also a major factor.

I have had issues with the AT&T Microcell dropping calls using an unrooted, carrier unlocked, stock HTC Inspire. I have no resolution at this time.
I heard that some models of the Galaxy S line have FM Radios built in. Anyone know if it's built-in and disabled, or if it's on and we just need an app for it?
I've looked in the market for an FM radio app, and for a solution but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Officially, I've seen it's nonexistant, but some seem to have doubts.
Thanks in advance.

I looked that up when I had the SGS4G but it turns out from what I read that only European Samsung Galaxy S phone's have the radio ability ...

I too would like to get this feature working. From this site:
http://www.chipworks.com/en/technic...rdown-of-the-samsung-galaxy-s-4g-smart-phone/
It says that the hardware is there. So it's only a matter of someone figuring out how to remove the block!
FM RADIO
do you have to have a certain model like I had a mytouch 3g but there were so many different models 32a and 32b and voderfone so is it the same case for the SGS4G

Well there are a few hardware specification mistakes; for example, it says the CPU is Samsung manufactured, while it is in not that, but a Hummingbird CPU.
Hummingbird was codeveloped by Samsung and Intrinsity. Check wiki.

lol I feel stupid, my apologies
Hehe no worries.
Alright so anyway, after a little bit of hunting more sites seem to say there is no radio, but I still have my own little hunch...
No- http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_4g-3719.php
No- http://www.mobile-phonez.net/2011/03/samsung-galaxy-s-4g/
No- http://www.esato.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy+S+4G-778
Yes- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S
Double Yes!- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110328080129AATmxrf
Yes- http://www.rizwanashraf.com/2011/01/21/samsung-galaxy-s-4g/
Who knows.
Why not just download a radio app and use that? You get way more stations that way.
Sigh. Wish someone would figure out the right answer. And if it does have a tuner, turn it on! Oh well...

Uses data, and probably a lot more battery compared to a tuner.
so i happen to be in the wrong section for the HTC One X (International Verision) and i was reading a thread where alot of people were having wifi connectivity issues. So i tried to do what they were doing to replicate the problem (even though nothing happend, Pressing the back of the phone, checking for a faulty connection) Now that i tried doing it and they told me it has the LTE radio there instead of the wifi one, will my LTE suffer now that i tried it? i fear that i actually bent the connection pins.
Are you in an LTE area?
Didn't you mama ever tell you don't mess with things that aren't broke?

i will be back home tomorrow so yes, i will be. and yes my mama did. but like i said i was in the international section, and i thought my phone would be affect too.
The at&t one X only has one radio its built into the chip so I would say that if you have signal at all you didn't hurt anything.
If you get good LTE signal and speed when you're back in the LTE area, I wouldn't worry about it.
Makes me think of the old joke:
Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don't do that

So the radios are all in one place? and nothing behind where i was pressing? The are between the camera lens and the volume rocker.

The radio itself is built into the snapdragon S4 chip. It's the antennas you need to worry about
take a look at this http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/cr...rnal-design-that-isnt-diy-repair-friendly/594
for teardown video

yep only thing behind it is the sim card tray, i opened it up, and didnt see anything bent
I have recently purchased a HTC sensation and I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
After this It says "No signal" Which is 0 Bars
Is there anyway to fix this???
Thanks in advance!
I know this might seem silly but make sure all the gold points on the back cover are intact and meet up with the appropriate points in the phone. They are external antennae and you won't have a signal if they are bad.

They look good to me.....
Is there any way to see if they are broken?
Thanks!
Edit: I think if I change network It will be better, I am using giffgaff and whenever I go into network operators it says "Your sim doesn't allow this network".
Will it help trying a new network?
It could, make sure that they network you use is supports the frequency that the Sensation uses.

Try glancing around Google, I'm from the U.S. but it looks like several sensation users have had your same issue. http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/He...ection-on-my-HTC-sensation-phone/td-p/5396016
It looks like there were a few suggestions as to how you could get internet on the sensation.

Anytime, let me know if it works. I'm curious as to why the network would behave that way.

Guys,
My power button had spoilt, had given to a local shop for repair. That got fixed. but after I got the cell back, I am getting very poor to no reception at all. 3G is also not working. Tried everything, flashed a new rom (7.8) too. Still no fix.
Please help me, I dont want to change my phone
Update:
On changing mode to GSM all through Diagnostic app, I am not getting any network at al!!
BUMP! Please any suggestions
That might be the sign of poor re-assembly or that something has been affected in your phone.
Has the back plate of your phone also been changed? I got a cheap replacement for mine and with it I get 2 bars less than the original one.
