these are notorious

could be just the aerial, get one for about £3 on ebay...you will need a t6
screwdriver possibly to help you do this..if not that then you are looking
at possible software problem (reflash about £10) or failed chip on the board
(chuck the phone..not easy to do yourself and will cost £20 or more to fix)
