hi guys
well i have a question... I was digging out whole day the net for info about any mod for the wizard antenna mod...
I own CIngular 8125 aka HTC Wizard 100, and since I have week wifi signal i thought id get better reception..
so i found some sites including instruction here also but i went for this mod
here http://tinyurl.com/y2gke3 exactly i made the same thing as shown here http://tinyurl.com/v2oxv I cut a small piece of antenna between 2 pins rely..
so, actually nothing happened with my GSM signal, it was same as before, but i found out that my wifi signal dropped a bit, which I wanted to increase...
so, i thought for making this mod here http://tinyurl.com/wq8k2 and id like to know if it gets any better wifi signal strenght...
next thing id like to know, is the issue with the antenna... is the same antenna used for GSM and wifi or what? did anyone managed to get any wifi antenna connection on PCB of a wizard so it can be attached a better antena?
if I connect an external antenna to my wizard, will the wifi signal get any better? the pcb looks similar to this picture http://tinyurl.com/y5p7yh and on the left from sd card is the external link...
is there any possibility to get better wifi strength using any kind of hardware mod? smthg like this for axim http://tinyurl.com/sbf3v so i can connect any wifi antenna...
well guys, i was a bit large writing this post but id reeli want to know of theres any possibility to get better wifi signal...
thanks

Can anyone recommend a compatible GSM aerial I can attach to the JJ
It has two aerial connections, one for GSM and one for 3G.
At home I have poor GSM reception and no 3G and the JJ seems far worse at picking up a signal here compared to my Sony K750i
Or can someone tell me the connection type used for GSM on the JJ so I can do some research myself via Google
I have a similar problem and would also like to hear of an ariel to use at home.

Have you find some correct connector ?
Hi, my G4 is giving me the No Signal problem over GSM, some times it catch the signal but then it loose it after a few minutes, anyone ever build an external anthena or know how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
up.
Same question. How to build such an antenna or where to buy it ?
Reflash radio rom.
Hi,
I will try to upgrade the radio. Which one do would you advice for best gsm reception (don't care about bluetooth/wifi/battery) ?
Anyway, as I'm living in a foreign country near my operator's country, I can get a signal but often very bad, I would still be interested in an antena solution to improve the reception. So if anybody as something about it...
signal problem solved
hi every one
i also had the same problem. i flashed my prophet with every version of windows and gsm rom but it didnt work. then i opened the prophet and straightened the antena connectors and then packed it, it worked full signals.
so check your antena connectors inside your phone.
best of luck.
Hi everyone,
My g7 is having problem with wifi (and bluetooth, but I mostly use wifi). The issue is the wifi signal strength is extremely low. Only when I put the phone just next to the wifi AP, it will get a strength of 3-4 (not full) slots. In most cases if you walk away from the AP for about 5 meters, the strength will go down to almost nothing and becomes very unstable.
bluetooth? even in discoverable mode, it is not discoverable.
I think it might be a problem of some kind of antenna inside it. how could I check? i have disassembled it.
I noticed when I remove the chin of it, the phone signal will go to zero (the GSM signal) and I know there is an antenna in it. Isn't the wifi sharing antenna with the mobile network?
My radio is latest according to the forum. Trying cm7.0.3 and oxygen 2.2.1, both same issues.
hardware defect
working fine for me on both and no bug have been reported on both roms.
must be your hardware defect, sorry. still in warranty ?
I have a HTC with the dodgey wifi antenna in the back. I want to know if this faulty antenna will effect the phone in any other way except for making it unable to connect to wifi.
I'm not sure whether to send it in for repair as I will be without a phone for a long time
AFAIK, WiFi antenna is (as name says) WiFi antenna. Your 2G/3G has separate antennas. So, mostly WiFi is affected. Of course, if WiFi antenna is dodgy, then there could be interference from WiFi to your cellular area that can cause poor reception, but I cant be sure. Why dont you take it to the service center? after all you paid a fair amount of money to buy this device!
This was an issue that HTC has recognised officially, so you can get it fixed or in some cases I've heard a complete replacement unit. AFAIK, like nandann mentioned, it should only affect your WiFi connection, other functions should fine.
Hi folks,
I jinxed myself. Yesterday I crowed over successfully replacing my M919 S4 wifi antenna, gaining better wifi performance by about one wifi bar around my house. (The thread is here, if anyone is interested) Basically I just felt my wifi reception was weak enough to suggest a problem, and I wanted better wifi coverage when not right next to a wifi router, so I popped for a few bucks to try a replacement antenna. It seemed to do the trick.
I didn't notice until I left home this morning that swapping the wifi antenna killed my cellular connection. No bars, and "No Service" was listed. Huh. At work, with no tools, I did the usual stuff. Remove/replace SIM, pull battery, no joy. At lunch I went and got a screwdriver. Disassembled / reassembled the unit (took off screws and frame, made sure no bent contacts) etc.. No joy. Went to nearby ATT store for new SIM, no joy.
Came home, and on a lark took out the new wifi antenna and put the old one back in. Rebooted, and all was back to normal. Fine cellular service right away, and back to the previously somewhat weak wifi reception.
I don't understand what could cause this series of events. To be clear, here's the part I used:
http://www.esquareparts.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s4-l720-r970-m919-wifi-antenna-flex-cable/
Is the WIFI antenna also part of the cellular system antenna, and is there a failure/defect mode that would explain why this replacement part would kill cellular service while working fine for WIFI?
I'm very confused. I want to get back to stronger wifi reception, WITHOUT killing my cellular...
Help!
Dude your over thinking it, had a feeling you where chasing a ghost but just waited for you to confirm it. Go to your nearest T-Mobile store and let then do there testing diagnostics and get it directly from the horses mouth. Yes, your phone is defective or no, your crazy. Or find someone with exact phone and compare signals.

I've been known to overthink things. Kind of my calling-card!
But this wifi thing isn't a ghost at all. Any other wifi device I've used in the last several years has had better wifi reception than this particular S4, including an ATT S4 I used for a couple months last year. And it's not just the "reported wifi bars" (which can vary by ROM)... the thing actually frequently disconnects from wifi when I head down to the basement. And in other wifi locations around town, it's reporting much lower. The replacement wifi antenna fixed that and brought it much closer to normal, no more disconnections. Except, of course, for my cellular connection.
If anyone can help explain why the new wifi antenna would completely kill the cell radio functionality (reversibly, thank gosh!), please pipe in. This is a stumper, for me...
And I don't think the T-mo store would do much for me. I'm using the phone on ATT, and I bought it through Swappa, so T-mo doesn't even have me in their system.
