Did you ever wondered why the Xperia X1 keeps on getting low signal/reception? Try removing your unit’s battery cover for a few seconds and watch as your Xperia X1 gets an extra bar or two.  Now, while this could be solve by finding a plastic battery cover (if you’re lucky to find one) another issue with the Xperia X1 which hampers its signal reception has something to do with its antenna.

The Xperia X1’s antenna is covered by thick rubberized plastic coating which weakens its capability to get full reception. How to solve that?  Take a deep breath and whitesites blog’s method of  increasing the Xperia X1’s antenna.

Basically all you need to do is to pull out the antenna module, open it up and scrappe off the rubber coating using a cutter blade. Once done, you can now put the antenna module back and enjoy your Xperia X1 with great signal/reception strength.

Check out the Whitesite’s blog for photos of the actual tinkering with the Xperia X1 antenna.
