Hi, I'm new to everyone here and I'm a smarphone repair technician.

I would like to know if the Sony Xperia XA1 G3121's full frame LCD display is the same as the Sony Xperia XA1 G3112 lcd display.

Have any of you already had the same question?

Thank you so much to everyone for your help.

Sony Xperia XA1: Cannot make/receive calls on 3G even though it shows signal

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 00:00:09 -0700

I have received a xperia phone (Xperia XA1 G3121) with following problem which I want to try and resolve: While having a SIM I can make calls and have mobile data as long as I have 4G or H+ indicator on the top right corner.

In areas where those are unavailable (I get 3G and bars indicator) I cannot make calls nor have mobile data connection.

While searching the internet I came to find videos about replacing antenna cables. After removing the back I found 2 such cables (black and white):

I replaced the cables thinking that might solve the problem without any success. In youtube videos I saw variant with only 1 cable and 2 cables. My intuition was that the black one is for 3G since disconnecting the other disabled my 4G signal. Given that on some networks I have data and tone and on older generation frequencies I don't I came here seeking some advice. What can I try to isolate the problem?

Later Edit:

I have replaced the bottom daughterboard earlier because another defect with it was that it would not charge. At that point I did not try 3G or below calls because I couldn’t imagine not working after doing a normal call as a test. The previous daughterboard was thrown as a results. Should I suspect a flaw with the new daughetboard ? Any way to check it other than trying another replacement ?

Any help you can shed is appreciated, thank-you
