This remains a big concern for me, as I've noticed severe malfunction of the antennas with the diptoh and the solartoh, and so did Clovis, while we have absolutely no network issues with Jolla OHs or toholed. Same observation for me in several different cities. This is something I've reported in the diptoh's thread (or solartoh's or tohkbd2's, can't remember) a few months ago, but got no real answer or testing on the matter, except another TMO member who said he didn't notice such severe network losses.
As posted in the aforementioned message, I admit I'm worrying a bit if tohkbd2 is designed the same way/covers antenna areas. It seems that not all Jolla units and/or connection providers among countries are equal (Clovis and me are French, both couldn't use phone with diptoh and/or solartoh, and there are not many other active French members here who use these OHs, so we lack additional feedback). :[
Next time I am going to some place where signal is weak, I will try to think about testing with that toh...

Damn! Well, you can't think of everything. I hope I too won't see any less signal strength.

(If it is something to do with GPS then it would require the device to move a little in order for the GPS to record the diretion it is going... then inertial/acceleration fix to determine which way is the north-pointing edge... fairly complex operation.)

I just HAD to try it. My Jolla's compass did not react to the magnet at all. And I tried VERY hard, from all sorts of angles and positions. The compass in a colleague's smart watch went completely berserk from about 50cm distance.

No problemo for Jolla
