    no reception indoors

    I have an HTC One V that I purchased on Amazon about 6-7 months ago. About 2 weeks ago I realized I was at home and I had no reception. As soon as I left to walk to school I had reception again, but once I got into class I lost reception again. Same thing when I took my daughter to daycare...
