How Do I Get Better Reception on My Samsung M520 With a Card?
- 1). Move away from large metal objects. The metal reflects the wireless signal, preventing your phone from receiving and transmitting a cellular call and reducing its reception.
- 2). Keep your hand away from the built-in antenna, which is located in the upper corner of the phone. If you completely hold down on this area of the phone, you are going to block the reception on the phone.
- 3). Power down the phone, remove the battery cover and slide out the SIM card (it is located behind the battery). If the SIM card is not inserted properly, the reception is often lost. Slide the SIM card back into the slot until it locks into place, then power on the phone.
- 4). Remove the cell phone from any sort of case. Some cases that are placed around the Samsung M520 have metal built into the device. This metal blocks cell signals from entering or exiting the phone.
- 5). Place a piece of tape to the SIM card, then insert it back into the phone. If the SIM card does not completely fit properly into the SIM slot, then the tape will help adhere to it properly, boosting the signal of the phone.
