5s: Can Bluetooth/wifi antennas go bad [with no phone damage, abuse or shock]? I have a lot of momentary bluetooth dropouts, not disconnects, when using my jaybird earbuds. Not a diss against iPhones at all, but my Samsung S4 and the same buds never had a problem. This phone was transferred within my family and although several years old, it was taken care of. Most problems seem to occur at Planet Fitness (gym) so it may be interference although again, in the same place with the same earbuds, I never had any issue with my Android. Thoughts? Thanks-
Ehhhh…I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really get this much. I would think it’s a lot more like a water damage problem. Yeah, you may not have spilt a beer on it. But you also more likely got sweat on it. Yeah, I know that sounds ridic, but it definately happens. Also, apparently routers “go bad” that’s apparently a thing. So, I would open it up, if you have tools and experience, and check for signs of water damage. Pink/red stickers. Signs that water has washed over something and dried. And replace the antennae. If that doesn’t take, it either needs an ultrasonic bath, or board level repair. Here’s a guide Hmm. Looks like I’m gonna need to make a guide…
