Cloud somebody please tell me the NAME of this connector? I have another device that has the exact same one and I want to connect an external antenna to it and need an adapter for it (to FME). But since I do not know its name, I don't know what to order. It is not CRC-9.

No idea what it's called, but do be careful and order the right one as a larger diameter pin can force the contacts inside open permanently, thus disabling the internal antenna even without the external antenna connected.
Beamed from my Maguro.
Thanks for the heads-up. That already happened to me while messing with it. Then I messed with it a little more and it went back.
Anybody else know the name of the connector? Or where else I could try to ask this question?
Actually I tried to check in iFixit website here but could not find it. I think it would be useful to go to a good repairing shop and ask them to help you know more about this component.
Good Luck
external antenna connection/jack
AFAIK, they are all the same size. But save yourself the money, the external antennas are pretty much useless with newer cell systems. You can try a repeater that mounts on your windows but even then you have to figure out line of site with the cell tower you pull from.
It's not worth the risk. Internal works well enough. If you insist on external antenna get something Bluetooth based.

Thanks for the advice, but this thread is just about finding out the name of that connector.

Q: What's the race of the dog fom the picture?
A: It's called dog! They're all the same.
Seriously, like I wrote in the first post, it's not CRC-9, I already tried that one, and although it looks like it might fit in, it doesn't! I also tried two others from an electronics shop and they didn't fit. (unfortunately I don't remember their names) There are several types of similar connectors like this one and most of them are not compatible to each other.

Thanks for the answer. I had tried, prior to opening this thread, to ask at a couple of electronics shops, but nobody could help. Then I tried again this week at another shop and the guy said it's "MMX" but they don't have it. But I'm guessing he actually meant "MMCX", because "MMX" doesn't seem to be a type of connector. I'll just probably order that one, and see if it fits...
So I tried MMCX. It doesn't fit either! The search continues...

some time ago i read on a galaxy s2 thread that the connector is only to be used by manufacturer to test the antenna and not meant as an expansion for after market accessory. The guy said that he actually broke a little pin (or anyway a little piece of metal) inside the connector by using an external antenna and now the phone only works with the external antenna. Just in case you didn't know..unfortunately i can't post the thread, it shouldn't be hard to find anyway.
I know, I know, don't worry about that! All I'm trying to do is find out the name.

Some call this part the "MS147 connector", but AFAIK it's a CK589-AMGC
Hope that helps

I first flashed my Touch Diamond about a year ago and lost the sound. I had a new phone at the time so I just left but I am keen to get it going again for a friend to use.
I followed the steps here (currently forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211) and curently have radio "1.00.25.05" and the SPL is "SPL-1.34.Hard"
It doesn't seem to matter what ROM I flash the sound still doesn't come through the speaker although I've recently noticed that it does work when using the headphones.
I have tried soft and hard resets as well as clearing the internal storage. I've also tried MTTY without much success (total noob there so I could have been doing it wrong).
What else can I try to fix this issue as I've run out of ideas?
Update: HTC startup sound doesn't come through the headphones so it only seems to work once it's booted up.
As i can see I will give you the answer
I've experienced the same problem one year ago...I didn't flashed my phone but I had the same problem..NO SOUND..
So my friend the only thing you have to do is to:
1)just move all your Files to your PC(move them,do not copy them)!
2)hard reset your phone
3)put the files back again in your internal storage
AND YOU ARE READY!!!
I did all of these steps and I solved the problem...give it a try,you don't have to lose something..!
Please let me know if this method will solve the problem...
PEACE

Everything else seems to be working fine. Just the speaker sound isn't working.
Might i suggest you disassemble your diamond and clean the metalic plating both on your speaker and circuit board above.
Here i provide the pdf
I can guarantee this will solve ur problem if the case is just dust and dirt contanimation.
IMPORTANT. While you are cleaning, please DO NOT make any rough cleaning on the circuit boards and especially around the metalic plates
SO essentially what you need to clean is this part ONLY...

So basically you are just going to remove 3 screws and clean the top cover and platings. DONT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE.

I can't believe it, that actually worked. It didn't work after I had cleaned but as soon as everything was screwed on again it starting working again. A million thanks to you.

The reason why it started to work as soon as the screws were in place is because, some screws in the device enable the contact between the circuit board and the device components.
This is done by manufacturers to minimize the use of wires and any other "additional" component needed to complete the circuit. Thus they make use of components in the device to their maximum possible to carry out an electric contact or function, be it a screw or anything else EXCEPT the ones you are in direct contact with, like a stylus...
**and nope this is not a class** hehehehe. i m jus sharing my knowledge.
because jus in case one removes a screw and loses it....you can say their devices are really SCREWED NOW!!!!

but with the Micro USB port built in, like this
I do not need/want an FM transmitter, although if there was something that incorporated an Aux line out that would really make my day (not counting on it).
Anyone find anything? Thanks in advance!
What about buying both of those? Or the second one and some generic stand-arm. Usually the attachment on the back is either universal, or easy to drill the holes neccessary to combine them.

it's not exactly the same, but get the official one. it has the built in micro usb port, and the docking mechanism is a locking vacuum mechanism you can adhere to the windshield (or dash, or whatever is smooth)

Yea I of course have seen that one. Unfortunately I don't think I would have anywhere to stick it, and my windshield is too far away. Plus, doesn't that render your microsd card useless...ie I couldn't listen to music?
You can still listen to your music from the SD card with the Sprint mount. You just can't use the phone as a portable drive because the data port is being used by the charge adapter built into the mount.

And what do I do if the CD slot is behind a NAV screen? This is why the one the OP found is so great for me needs. He might be in a similar situation.
Hi guys, i recently got an htc one x which had signal problem, going into detail, i found that one of the connectors of the antenna cable is completely wiped off (soldered out) from the motherboard. the cable itself is fine
Is there anything that can be done?
I mean can i connect the antenna cable (core wire) to somewhere else to get it working,
PS. Currently, i only get signal at a few places, that too outside in open areas where signal strength is high.

If you can try to solder the cable directly to the motherboard or try to solder the connector!

Hey,
sorry to hear that. I have dealt with similar connectors in the past (on a laptop wifi card - results were 30% less signal) and in my experience its better to buy the connector and soldier it to the board if you can.
Good luck with the repair
Thanks

@Thant Thanks for the reply, but where to solder it, nothing is left there, i'll post the pics of my phone's board to make it more clear.
@peshko69
Thanks brother, i'll let this in the hands of experts, will hand it over to a good engineer
I was just worried coz one repair person said nothing can't be done now, as connector isn't there.

Good idea
Shown the phone to 2-3 repair persons and they all said nothing can be done.
So my sd slot was messed up so I took it to get repaired, the guy fixed it but now wifi and bluetooth don't work properly. It only works when I'm extremely close to the router/bluetooth device and even an inch or two away and it disconnects. Is there any way I can fix this myself, or anywhere I can take it to to get fixed? I've tried but the guy I took it to had no idea how to fix it. I read knocking near the rear camera fixed it for some people, but I've tried that and it doesn't seem to work, and since I'm assuming the guy physically broke it somehow I doubt it's a software issue. Thanks.
Did he connect everything properly?. The WiFi and Bluetooth, I believe, are one in the same chip, or at least on the same board.
It could be a case of replacing the board but if it works close to the router then I'd say that maybe there's a problem with the antenna, if there is one. If there isn't I'd blame the cable supplying the power to that board..
The m9 is notoriously difficult to work on and it is VERY likely the repair was accidentally botched. The new problem is asking someone else to investigate and repair it properly. Don't tell the new guy it was buggered by someone else or he probably won't touch it.

I fixed it myself! I opened up the phone as a last resort basically to see if even my noob eye could detect anything, and I think I got what happened. There were two cables that were disconnected and I simply plugged it in and it worked. Thanks man.

Okay yes hi, I just bought a used Tab S from eBay the other day and I'm having a serious issue with it.
So, when I bought it I talked with the seller and he promised that everything was in perfect working order.
But today I got it, and neither the charging port, or the SD card slot work at all.
I tried taking the piece out of the tablet and put it into my old one, and both worked just fine, no problems.
So all I can figure is that maybe it's a problem with the mother board. Except, everything else is running fine, and I looked over the motherboard and everything looks fine as far as I can tell.
The only thing I notice that's different between this mother board and the one from my old tablet, is the connector where you connect the ribbon cable from the sd card slot/charging port, but it's just, under the ribbon, on the beige piece, two of the golden lines on it are still there, but like, there's something different about them.
Could two little microscopic bits like this really cause the whole thing to not function like this? I mean it just seems absurd that such a small thing can do this.
I'll take a picture of the spot if anyone would like to see it.
I'm planning on returning the tablet in a few days for a refund, but if anyone can tell me if there's like a simple fix for this I would be eternally grateful, it's taken me forever to find a tab s I can afford and my old one is constantly locking up so I really need a new one...

mmm I'm not an expert but it looks like that connector has been soldered to the plate ... you can see two points of welding at the ends ... surely there you have the problem ..
The two pieces of plastic at the ends seem burned .. The first connector pin seems broken ... and the next 3 moves ..
I can also see something that looks like glue un the board ... can it be? They have manipulated it in a bad way .. I would contact the seller and get the money back ..
Look at the original connector .. your motherboard has been modified.
