​

Ok, Here you go! Don't laugh, my video equipment is pretty sad and I had to stick a magnifying lens on the front of the camera just to be able to focus in that close lol...........

__

| ...................<---This is what I see inside the connector. The top tab is the one I pull down so I think what I'm doing is making contact with the other tab to reconnect the internal antenna. At first I thought I was pulling it down off of another contact above (and that still may be the case, not sure).

However, after looking at the hole magnified, I'm thinking the external antenna pushes those 2 contacts apart and sometimes they stay bent apart (like in my cheesy little diagram above lol), when the external antenna is removed.

In the video what you see is when I insert the push pin it acts as an (excellent by the way) antenna. Then when I remove the pin i lose my signal completely until I pull that contact down.

Another thing you'll notice is that it is a little easier to see the contacts in the center hole of my phone since I have been testing a lot of different antennas so the hole is worn a bit from all the poking around in there, but it is still functional.

Sometimes when I am in an area with no signal I pop the back off and insert a 3 inch copper wire into the hole and get a few bars! ;) I hope this helps!! Good luck!!!

External Antenna Conn

Does anyone know of a cf wifi card that has a external antenna extension?

If yes, who makes it and where can I get one?

Also one that works with the major roms?

thanks
[Captivate Accessories] rmntruexjr:
Awesome!! That's good to hear.....Many people on this site have helped me in the past, so it feels good to know I helped someone else!! :)
[Captivate Accessories] orb_526:
I am an engineer at a company that makes the connector types being described here. These connectors are used for end of line testing during phone manufacture. They are not for connecting auxiliary equipment. I would strongly discourage trying to mate any connector or insert anything into these connectors unless you absolutely know it is the correct interface. These connectors are switches with very delicate internal components and can be damaged easily as illustrated in this thread. They are also not designed to be mated many times even with the correct interface (20 or 30 mates or so max) as they are only designed for production testing.

That is just my advice. Take it or leave it...
[Captivate Accessories] bomix:
I must say thanks Also! I have a Droid Charge, and was messing around with this antenna port after seeing a internet video on how to DIY Boost your antenna, when i lost all signal.. your findings have really helped. A million Thanks!!.. again.. Thanks! :D
[Captivate Accessories] rmntruexjr:
Thanks for your explanation and advice. Someone should let the companies who make connectors to fit the SGH know about this as it seems they are under the impression that the connector is for an external antenna and sell products that fit it.

I'm also thinking maybe I got the heavy duty version of what you describe as I have plugged and unplugged antennas to this connector at least 200 or more times so far and it is still functional. ;)
[Captivate Accessories] emelie:
Thanks for this video!

After watching it my conclusion is this:

It would be nice to use an external antenna (and I put some research into this and bought some equipment to try it) but it's not really feasible because after using an external antenna the internal antenna won't work anymore.

Is that about right?
[Captivate Accessories] rmntruexjr:
If you have the right connector it is less of a risk, but yes it CAN happen. Not always though. For example I had to do the video over twice because I didn't push the pin in far enough and when I took the pin out my internal antenna switched back on like it should. I never had a problem with it at all until I dropped my phone while the external antenna was connected and I think it bent the center pin of my wire connector when it hit the floor. Almost every time after that the internal antenna would stay disconnected until I pulled that contact down with the push pin.....Just my experience, not sure about others that have had this issue.
[Captivate Accessories] darkdragone:
I looked that up a while back, I had seen the connector and wondered if an antenna could be connected there. Alot of the discusions i found over this went back and forth over how it was an external antenna connector and how it wasn't one. I would have to say tho if you successfully connected the antenna to it and it gained signal than it is. I think as well that the connector was designed to turn off the internal antenna when an external is connected and it failed to turn it back on. Other than that I would make sure a piece of the connector didnt break off inside the other connector on the phone or that the connector on the phone is still securely attached to the board. Its possible when you pulled off the antenna it may have damaged the connector.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelandon:
I’m using JT’s new kernel with Voodoo Sound, found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010102 and Adrynalyn’s awesome SC2.9.1, found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983395.

Everything was working fine until I DL’d JT’s kernel. It installed fine, so I DL’d Voodoo Control 0.10 from the market, used to enable and control Voodoo Sound. I checked the box titled: Ext4 /system (found under Lagfix preferences). After my next reboot, the conversion took place (I was already on Adryn’s EC10 Voodoo kernel previously) and my problems started.

Now my phone constantly freezes. For example, let's say I check email, while listening to music through Poweramp, the phone freezes (tested on multiple app combinations). I suspect that it has something to do with the system conversion to Voodoo since that's the only thing that's changed since last night when all was working fine. Is JT’s kernel not compatible with a system conversion to Voodoo, ie: partition only? Helpful suggestions will be much appreciated!

For some reason I can't get any themes to load on re engineered roms. It boot loops everytime. Any suggestions?

Dinc
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] PGleo86:
Did you just flash 2.4? If so, the 2.3 themes are made for de-odexed versions of the ROM such as 2.3. 2.4 is odexed for additional speed but all themes must be redone because of that.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] snapper915:
I installed re engineered 2.3.1.

Dinc
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
You meed to flash evo themes on that rom. It has a %100 evo framework so a dinc theme will boot loop. That's why he posts his own themes on his thread.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deuce112:
I recently used ODIN to flash my T-mo Vibrant back to stock and then upgrade to Froyo. I was unimpressed by Froyo and wanted to flash a custom rom so I rooted and tried to flash a custom rom and it wouldn't work. I then used Odin to try to flash back to stock....got my vibrant stuck on the phone -triangle- computer dl screen after multiple tries it still wouldn't flash in an act of frustration I dl'd another ODIN and one clicked flashed my Vibrant I then find out that this particular ODIN was made to flash a stock captivate rom so now my Vibrant boots to the at&t world phone screen and loops. I tried button combos to get to dl mode and haven't succeeded.....HELP PLEASE! -also will the dl mode usb jig help in this case?-
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Can you get into download mode? If not a jig is probably your last stop.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Best guess (all it is)

You are going to have to try just about every different button combo to try and get to download mode (if no jig). Since you flashed a non vibrant rom the keys make be remapped. Try different 2 button combos also.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deuce112:
I can't get into dl mode at all whenever I try it either loads the at&t screen and starts to loop or just shows the battery logo

Thx for the replies tho i just ordered a jig from ebay so hopefully that works.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Just wondering - you said you tried every button combo

Was that after you pulled the battery? Did you get into download mode for Odin via batterypull/button combo/usb pull in or rebooting from the rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedoboop:
Im running on overstock kernel and my status is always on symbol h and barely 3g or full signal bar is there

Just an H and 1-2bars max
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tKoHaXoR:
H is actually 3G. Its just a mod on the status bar that changes the 3G icons to H.

You can go to Settings<Wireless and Network<Mobile Network Settings<Network Mode

and change the settings to WCDMA Only. That should lock on to 3G more often.

Be advised that "H" stands for HSDPA which is more commonly known as 3G data.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santasemilla:
Hi all,

First of all I didn't want to start a new thread but I already followed all advises when people asked about this issue and had no luck, don't know what else to do.

I got my new gtablet four days ago (not a woot) and have been trying different roms (TNT 4.3.1 / Vegan 5.1) with no luck in the android market. Of course I tried the fixes for the market, clearing cache, data, even re-partitioning to make sure partition was 2048 | 0, turning off firewall in my router... EVERYTHING! On the stock ROM (3588) I can download and install apps from the market with no issues. In TNT lite 4.3.2 (my actual ROM) I can download things from the browser, but not from the market. As soon as I click to install, it keeps in "starting download..." and could be there for hours without downloading a single bit.

Is anybody experimenting the same (frustration, haha)? How can I identify where the problem could be?

Thanks in advanece!

This has been happening to me on and off with both updates and new downloads for the past week or so. Usually I can kickstart it by canceling it and selecting it again. Some seemed to be more difficult than others.

I try stop & reconnect all the time even with different applications but I have no luck. Another strange thing is that I cannot connect to google talk.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond_dawg:
Download it and restart the device..it.should start downloading again once its.back on
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
That could be a network or server issue. Can you use the web based market?

If that works try the market fix again. There have been times that I had to do that three or four times to get it working correctly.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santasemilla:
Hi! Just got back home and tried...but noup, keeps hanged. !@$!@#%$%#

Hello there, and thanks for stopping by! What you mean by web based market? Whenever I type android market on the web browser, it goes to https://market.android.com/ but for downloading, jumps to the market application and the neverending "starting download" starts again :( Nevertheless I was using without any issues the limited market that comes with the stock ROM! That's just to discard issues with my internet connection. Also, tried on a different connection and everything stays the same.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Any time I've had anything like this a clear cache or data wipe took care of it. Very odd. Maybe Dalvik Cache?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdtshaw:
Mine did the same thing and I found my date/time was reset. Setting the proper time fixed it instantly. Downloading would hang in the market but dl'ing an apk from getjar worked fine. Good luck!

Resolution

Created new email account xxx@gmail.com

Logged into Google Talk through PC app to set-up account

Wipped all user data from tablet through clockwork

Added gmail account in settings

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
Just wondering why this is so special? I flashed just for the hell of it but now I'm kinda curious why the devs and a few others recommend it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
If you do run into an issue like a soft brick, it is easier to fix your phone as it allows you to use fastboot on your computer. I'm no pro, but I am pretty sure that is the correct answer, I'm sure someone else will chime in.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
if thats the case, thats pretty nice. may explain why i couldnt flash a splash screen through fastboot before i flashed the engineering bootloader.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The reason alot of us recommend it is pretty simple. HTC Locks the bootloader so we cannot flash specific images to our phone. OR Specific sections of a ROM build. If you can flash the Engineering screen it will allow you to flash stuff from the HBoot. SO if you find your self in pickle and the phone will not mount specific sections you can always revert to HBoot to flash it. The reason you cannot flash the splash image is the same reason, it's locked and will not allow you to do it, it's one of the few things they locked down.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
This.

Theres an epidemic of people getting softbricks lately, that we can't get fixed because of not having the eng bootloader installed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
looks like i made the right choice to flash this then. thanks for the info guys. gonna try changing my splash screen now make this thing even more mine. lol

also if i did soft brick it i would use ADB while the phones at the hboot screen correct? i had it on the hboot screen while it was plugged in to my computer and noticed a install driver thing pop on, but couldnt install because i didnt have the driver. said somethikng like android 1?
