Hi ALL,
AFTER I HAVE CONNECTED A EXTERNAL GSM ANTENNA ON THE GSM CONNECTOR ON THE BACKSIDE OF MY ARTEMIS (HTC P3300) THE DEVICE COULD NOT FIND THE (PHONE) GSM SIGNAL.
ALSO THE GPS COULD NOT FIND ANY SATELITES BUT IT WORKS BUT STILL SEARCHING FOR
SATELITES.
I THINK THAT THE CONNECTIONS WITH THE INTERNAL ANTENNAS IS NOT CONNECTED ANYMORE OR HAS A BAD CONNECTION BECAUSE I HAVE CONNECTED THE EXTERNAL ANTENNE ON THE GSM EXTERNAL CONNECTOR ON THE BACKSIDE AND THAT MAYBE SOMETHING IS DISCONNECTED ORE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT COULD NOT RECEIVED THE GSM SIGNAL AS THE SATELITES.
BEFORE I HAVE USED THE EXTERNAL GSM CONNECTOR EVERYTHING WAS WORKING GOOD.
PLZ HELP DOES ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM.
THANKS AN GREETINGS
DAVIDOFF
You know caps lock is on, gsm connector, I don't have one, gps antenna connector I do have, Radio problems, try reflashing your radio.

does anyone know the 'official' name of this type of GSM connector?
the picture is here: tinyurl.com/yga76ot
(sorry, but I can't paste any links in this message)
I would like to buy external GSM antenna, but I don't know what is the name of this connector / connection.
thanks in advance for any suggestions.
btw, did anyone try to instal any external wifi antenna / wifi antenna connection?
regards!
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
Fred
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
dont know if their the same tho
Hello, I have a GPS issue and I would like to ask some questions related to hardware connectivity etc, i will explain what happens first:
Since i got my phone, with the stock ROM i could never find any satellites. Right now i have Viper 3.7.7 with Alex-V kernel, and it's international version S-OFF.
I opened my phone and used a tester with in the back cover of my phone to see if the GPS antenna had connectivity. And it has.
I lifted the GPS connectors up a bit to see if it was a connectivity problem, however it did not work.
I used a tester and i realized there is no connectivity between the two GPS connectors, I do have connectivity between the 2 wi-fi connectors so i do not know if there should be connectivity between the gps ones as well.
I also used the tester with one of them, and it had connectivity with the rest of the phone metal stuff, but the other one hadn't.
I used a wire to connect both connectors and tested of I could find satellites, but again 0/0
I did not sold anything because I do not know if it is a soldering problem or not. Could anybody tell me if there should be connectivity between the two GPS connectors or what could I do to fix it? It is a hardware problem for sure. I have read a lot and watched a lot of videos but i think my problem is a little bit more specifil and i would need more information about how the connectors work.
Thanks in advance.
I broke the connector on the motherboard by the SIM card where the white antenna wire connects to the board. It just broke right off trying to disconnect the wire. My question is, is this wire important?
I am not even sure if it's for wifi, cellular or an antenna for both.

If i recall from the last time i had my phone apart (over a year ago) its the wifi radio antenna, which just runs up to the top of the phone near the earpiece and connects to a metal plate to give a bit more area for the antenna to work with. You phone will still have wifi, but there is a good chance the reduced antenna area could affect the range at which you can detect/connect to networks. Having said that you are only losing a couple inches of antenna area so you may not even notice much of a difference.
I've been searching around for a fix to the problems I've had with my Note 2.
Basically I replaced the charging port, as the phone stopped responding to USB input. Everything worked fine but the network signal was suddenly extremely poor, often dropping calls or having no data connection.
I confirmed this was a hardware problem when I inserted a thin piece of wire into the R1 external antenna port on the back of the Note 2. This gave me 2 additional bars, but isn't a great fix as the wire needs to be adjusted frequently.
I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it. It seems like it should be a cheap fix, but I'm unsure of what components could be at fault (the new charging port, the antenna cable, a radio?).
As a secondary solution, I'd consider having an external antenna folded inside the back case, but it would need to fit and be cheap. I'm not sure if the connector is the same as the ordinary flex cable (see: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141170293305?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649)
Assistance is greatly appreciated. I think I've narrowed the problem down so I'm hoping someone has dealt with all this before.
