[Q] Wifi antenna location. - Samsung Captivate Glide

Anyone know where the location of the wifi antenna location is on the Glide?
Dropped my phone a while ago and the only damage seemed to be to wifi, now I have to stand 2ft away from the router to get -70db to -80db. I assume the antenna came loose but I've checked damn near every connector and have had no results.
I can inlcude some pictures of the insides if necessary.

Hopefully this might help -

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?

[Q] Bad reception

My phone got really hot and shut off one day for about 12 hours. It finally came on and was hot again. Ever since then my phone will not get any bars and usually it is roaming in non-roaming areas.
I have took it back into bluegrass cellular and they shipped it off to htc for warranty. Got it back and when i went in, they told me it was water damaged and will not cover it.
It has never been in water. I took it apart and it was not water damaged. So I have it apart and it does not appear to be water damaged. So I tried cleaning the contacts and it is still doing the same thing. I tried extending the connectors to the antenna. But that did not fix it.
So my questions are:
1. Is there anyway to fight HTC in saying its not water damaged.
2. Is there anyway to fix this? any ideas?

[q] [technical] Missing H/W Flex cable inside!! causes 3g wcdma issue?

I have a HTC One X 32gb white S-OFF.
It is a refurbished new phone actually.
everthing is working except 3g wcdma. It never gets signal of wdcma/3g even near base stations. But GSM is promlemless. I can talk, message and surf net via edge.
So I dissembly my hox and find aout that there is missing flex cable and also 5 golden pins of dock connector are not soldered.
I search that these parts are only dock connectors 5 pins h/w.
But is there a change that they also control wcdma ability?

I'd say that if anythings incomplete in the phone, work to get it back to a normal internal state, after doing that see if the 3G connects.

GPS not working

Hi
I have bought three sprint lg g2 ls980 and i am not able to get gps signal to lock on any of my phones.
I have unlocked them using the method mentioned here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
2 of them are on stock 4.2 rom and 1 is on optimusg3.
This is what I get when I run the GPS test app

So the GPS is able to detect the satellites but not able to lock on any.
Please help me out
If you want GPS you basically have two options: get a GPS unit or get a different phone. Due to hardware problems getting GPS to work on the G2 is next to impossible. My daughter and I have G2s and GPS doesn't work on either one. I sent mine back to LG for repair, they said they fixed the GPS antenna, and now I have even worse GPS reception than before I sent it to them. It's a problem with the antenna connections in the phone and the only thing you can do is keep getting it repaired until they get it right. There is no software fix.

screen flickering and week wifi sensor

So I had my lg g3 started flickering suddenly, I didn't know what to do. this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9SqLlDOU1E
After a little research I found this solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12XCmAYTbw
I tried it and it worked fine for now(a week passed).
but since i have done the paper thing, my wifi signal is very low, even when my router I very close to me.
Any knows how to fix it? maybe change the placment of the paper?
Thanks.
Put a piece of folded paper between processor and body. Make sure paper push the processor and the size of folded paper nearly same as processor, so pressure on full processor not only at one point and put a small piece of folded paper on camera connector. May be it will solve your problem. Good Luck [emoji106]
