Given 's report of persistent weak reception on a Samsung Galaxy Note II that stayed bad after switching carriers, and the earlier comments from and , the likely causes narrow to handset-side radio/antenna faults or modem/software issues rather than a temporary tower outage. Objective checks and an ordered diagnostic sequence help separate hardware from software.

  • Power-cycle the radio fully: power off, remove battery and SIM for 30–60 seconds, then reinstall and boot. The Note II's removable battery makes this a simple first step to clear modem hangs.
  • SIM swap: place the same SIM in a known-good phone, and try a different known-good SIM in the Note II to isolate network vs handset.
  • Safe mode: boot into Android safe mode to disable third-party apps and retest signal. This rules out app interference.
  • Inspect phone info: check Settings > About phone > Status for IMEI, baseband/modem version and signal in dBm. A missing IMEI or "unknown" baseband points toward firmware/EFS corruption.
  • Network settings: confirm preferred network mode is set to automatic (GSM/WCDMA/LTE) and reset network settings. If a custom ROM or modem firmware was flashed, consider restoring stock radio firmware.
  • Physical and environmental checks: remove any metal/bulky case, test outdoors and in other locations, and look for signs of drop or water damage around the SIM tray and connectors.
  • Factory reset only as a last resort after a full backup.

If the above steps fail, document findings (IMEI, baseband, dBm readings, locations/times, steps already tried) and take the phone to an authorized service center or a qualified repair shop. Avoid DIY board-level fixes if the device is under warranty. Given 's note about signatures in this thread, rely on measured values and the checklist above when presenting the problem to a technician.

Please explain exactly what you mean by "bad signals". In any case, it is probably a case of bad hardware (cell phone transceivers) in which case it will require a visit to the warranty repair center.

Try using installing the open signal from the play store it will help you in knowing where the problem is if its in the network provider then you will get the idea.

Seeing as his signature is for a cell phone signal booster, and his username is signal121, and he has already had posts deleted for spamming signal booster adverts, I would imagine that this really isn't the 'problem' that the original post makes it out to bhe. Just saying...
