Does anyone know where I can get a small external antenna for the universal? I'm looking for something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Quadband-GSM-...ryZ61816QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Hi,
I need to know what size connector is required to attach an external antenna to my XDA2i.
Also, where would be the cheapest place to get one?
Thanks,
Gary.
it's a std connector so it should be in most eletronic stores
here is what a search for external antenna gave as result

Hi,
I've never tried any external antenna.
I've found the inbuild antenna's to be sufficient, sorry.
You can google for it or for instance have a look at:
expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=147380
BTW: Your photo shows the 'left' external antenna connector.
This is not the external GPS antenna connector!
You need the 'right' one for this purpose , labelled GPS.
Goodluck

Hi,
There are two connectors on the back of the flipout (underneath a little protection made out of rubber). Are these antenna's? Antenna connections? Does anybody know anything about these connections?
Grtz.
on my old xda argon they were for a sattelite phone antena

I'm planning to mount my 2013 Nexus 7 into a car dash. It will be integrated into the dash and have a plastic bezel around it. Because of this, it may effect the GPS signal a little. So i'm wondering if there is any way to extend the GPS antenna to an external one? What kind of GPS antenna does the Nexus 7 have? is it just a chip on the board? can it be extended by soldering on some wire and attaching to another kind of antenna?
You are correct in assuming that enclosing the tablet in a mount like you described will increase GPS lock time and decrease accuracy. There are such things as USB OTG external GPS antennas...

You can also use GPS-Bluetooth-Mouse...

this is actually a whole new reciever, and not just an antenna. I guess it is a possible remedy, but not exactly what was asked about. AFAIK, there is no way to augment JUST the antenna.
It looks like the sockets on my tv box where the antenna connects to the main board.
Looks like a MHF connector, fairly common on older devices for some reasion. Not really sure why, maybe manufacturers envisioned being able to use external antennas to boost reception? Or maybe it's for some sort of vehicle phone mount that would have a mating connector for an external antenna.
