[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Ren13B:
So you remove the battery cover and plug that antenna into the smaller of the two ports? Ive damaged 2 phones trying external antennas and so have others. This one is a htc titan http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/96140-phone-signal-horrible.html and theres more reports like this one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KarlFlick:
I usually just pull my battery cover off, carefully seat the antenna into the port on the left, and then cradle the the thing.

I've done this with this phone, a moto blackjack, and at least two other moto phones in the past, and never had an issue. Again, though... I've pretty much ALWAYS immobilized the phone while it's got the antenna jack plugged in. I actually try to do the same when USB is in too... the boards inside these tiny devices are too thin and the amount of torque you can apply accidentally is quite high... best to be safe... but I get intermittent signal where I use it most frequently, so I accept the risk.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] monobeg:
Thanks!

That's exactly the answer I needed - thanks heaps!

So obviously it takes the some patch lead as the Tytn. In that case I'll just get a Tytn patch lead off ebay and hope for the best.

The owner's manual I found for the Tytn says you can use the antenna plug, so they obviously thought it was safe then, but maybe hid it on this model because of a few reported breakages. I'm going to use mine only occasionally and in a cradle, so I hope I'll be OK if I'm very careful. Maybe I'll never end up using it given the risk...

Another option would be one of those universal antenna leads. They clip on the back of the phone and work by an induction coil. Their performance is very variable - mine works OK (+1 bar) on a friend's phone, but seems to make no difference on my phone.

I want to add this as well: plugging in an external antenna can damage your phone. I have plugged a wilson antenna into my 8925 and now my reception is extremely poor... I am not sure of the cause, or how to fix it.. just hope to help people avoid this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] wpsantennas-matt:
We have the 8925 here at our office and have found that the port on the right side is for GPS only. The left port is for cellular reception.

We have not damaged the phone that we have here and have had the 8925 for about 6 months.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
There are a few issues with using external antennas:

First of all, the connector must be properly sized for the phone.

With some device/connector combinations it is normal for the connector to appear to not be fully seated. If you try to force the connector on further you can do permanent damage to the phone.

In the phone there is a tiny mechanical switch that gets tripped when you plug the external antenna in. This physically disconnects the internal antenna and connects the phone's radio to the antenna port. Sometimes this switch gets stuck in the port position, so you get poor performance when you disconnect the external antenna. This is especially common with CDMA Motorola V3 models.

any body uses a wifi external antenna????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DaMilky:
How hard is it to fix this "switch"? I have a kaiser that will only work with an external antenna after using one. Port isnt damaged as far as I can tell and ive never had problems with external antennas with other phones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
I've never actually had this happen to any of my phones, so I don't know how hard it is to fix. If the external antenna was forced onto the connector you may have to send the phone in for service to have the port replaced. The only other thing I can think of is to put a small amount of contact cleaner on the port itself, the gently work it in with the external antenna connector. This may loosen the switch and let it return to the internal antenna position if this is your problem. In all likelihood I'd say that a warranty exchange is probably your best bet.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] mech_supernova:
has anyone notised a 3rd port? its between the camera and the speaker and slightly higer than the other 2 I bet that ones for wifi at 1st glance I thought it was a screw.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] UnicornKaz:
I don't understand why the port were designed in the first place when things seem to be such a useless purpose ...etc

comes with INTERNAL GPS ... so why the need for EXTERNAL ??? and if you do need to use it ... it is delicate and chances are, you're screwed and damage it !! :confused::confused:

so why bother designed it ?? <scratching head> !!! :confused::rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] tilted spectrum:
External antennae that are properly sized for the operational wavelength will always have higher effective gain than any built-on antenna that is capable of fitting on a typical handheld device.

The External GPS antenna has 27 dB Gain (typical)... I cannot find specifications for the internal antenna on our Kaiser's, but I am willing to bet they are probably at best a unity antenna, maybe 3db on the good side.

That means you will recieve SIGNIFICANTLY signal strength and more satellites when you are doing anything involving GPS, and weather, antenna position, and all standard environmental factors will have significantly less effect on your GPS activities.

The same goes for an external antenna for the cellular portion. The internal radio boosts power output when it has degraded reception which means when you're in a poor reception area, you burn more battery doing the same things you typically do.

A "gain" vehicular antenna directly connected to your phone will increase battery life when using wireless connections to the cellular network, as well as provide you good reception where you would otherwise have poor to none.

Of course, if you live in an urban area, this is probably of no use to you... but in a built up area with many large buildings around, you may not have as good GPS resolution and reception as you could with an external antenna..

*

The primary reason they put these on there is moreso for diagnostic purposes probably... hook it up to a freq counter and/or spectrum analyzer and you can tell that the radio is actually putting out what frequency and it's strength as well. Without those, there's no external way to ensure transmission is occuring without possible interference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
I've examined this very closely under a bright light, and I have concluded that it is a screw with a Torx head.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
I agree with this. The only port accessible through the rear cover is the GPS port. Since the antenna port is not accessible through the cover HTC never intended the end user to use this port. Honestly though, I haven't needed it. I used to use an external cellular antenna with my iPAQ all the time, but my Kaiser seems to hold onto signal even in areas where my other phones have no service. My other phones aren't slackers either, especially my Motorola V551 and my Motorola A845 both work very well in low signal areas and work where most phones don't.

the same as the XMRadio car antenna that I have - it would be too good to be true if it actually was the same - anyone have any knowledge about this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] samgamgee:
Kaiser / TyTn II external cellular antenna switch

Just to confirm that I have had a similar problem on both the JasJar and the TyTn2 - I never learn.

I will explain what I have seen on the JasJar and although the aerial connector on the JasJar is different to that on the TyTn II, I expect the actual design to be the same.

The JasJar aerial socket has effectively 3 pins. One pin for the ground. The other 2 are for the "always-on" type "switch" that is set to bypass the connector when nothing is connected to the socket. It is a bit like the power connector on most radios that disconnect the battery when you plug in an external power adapter.

As soon as the inner core/pin of the external aerial is pushed in to the socket, the socket connectors are physically pushed apart, to create a connection through the external aerial. (a diagram would be better but I dont have one to hand).

When you remove the aerial, the connectors should, and I repeat should, return to their normal positions, creating a circuit that bypasses the aerial socket again.

If you use an incorrect plug on your aerial connector (like me), presumably with a core thickness that is bigger than it is meant to be, then the socket pins appear to remain permanently open circuit (or perhaps not making correct contact). This is why you now have a problem with reception.

It was more obvious with the JasJar since the connectors were soldered into the pcb at right angles. It was possible with care, to fix the connector on the JasJar. It is not so with the TyTn II.

I had to get a replacement TyTn II since I was having difficulty picking up any kind of cellular reception.

The odd thing was, that I plugged the aerial into the GPS socket and did not have the same problem,(and appeared to get a better GPS signal) so I have to question whether the tolerances of the socket are smaller with the cellular socket, or that the socket is not identical to the GPS socket.

I am now a little bit nervous about getting an external aerial although still living in hope of finding a solution.

Hope this clarifies things.

Holy cow, lots of discussion on a seemingly needless topic.

My buddy just got a really nice bluetooth capable gps receiver, hell with that and gps gate i can use my phone for gps when doing RMT now, just teather it to the laptop, running rmt.

I would think most of the newer ones (gps standalones) will be bluetooth capable ???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Faxman:
I recently received an external GPS antenna from Expansys referenced in the 2nd post.

Based on my tests, it fairly dramatically improves the performance.

Looking at the GPS signal strength in iGuidance 4, the signal levels go from the mid 20s to 40s, more satellites are seen, and the lock happens much faster.

Since it is magnetic and has a long cord, it can also be extended outside of the vehicle. That improves signal even further, but I found enough improvement just sitting it toward the front of the windshield.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] SHYFTEN_CHEWIE:
Antenna connector, I am screwed!!

I found a quick solution to , oh **** i bricked my internal antenna. if someone wants a decent amount of reception without having to send in there phone, or if there warranty is up. You can solder a wire (copper is best) on the outside of the pigtail connector, make a small loop and push the otehr end into the top of the connector, tape or glue the backside down or within the housing. And tada temp antenna for the time being. Or if you have skills de-solder the pigtail socket and make a bridge from the trace to the other side with flat solder wick (works best) or another wire.

e-mail me if you want pics

as I have poor gsm reception in my office room, getting edge data connections, and 3G/HSPD only by keeping the phone at window-level, I would like to try an external antenna with the kaiser.

Can anyone recommend an antenna and/or adapter that will work minimizing the risk to damage the antenna port please?

thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I forget which one is which as I do not have the antenna anymore, but there are two ext antenna ports under that black rubber plug on the back of the phone. One is for GPS, the other for cellular. They do not use the same connector. I purchased a 40" mag mount aerial for cheap from cellantenna.com and told them that I needed the cellular connector for HTC Kaiser/ATT Tilt and also the GPS connector. They tacked on like $5US onto the order to include the extra tip, and they both have identical opposite end connections to connect to the aerial. Others are correct in saying that the ext antenna plug does not seem to be properly seated; however, it is indeed properly seated. I never broke mine, but I did cradle it to the dash when that sucker was in. It's excellent for getting 3G way out in the sticks, getting maximum GPS satellites regardless of weather conditions (in clear weather GPS accuracy measured in a parking lot was within 1 meter), shorter GPS lock time, and increased battery life while blitzing one of the cellular data radios (particularly HSDPA) while simultaneously using GPS (Google Maps Satellite View with ext antenna hooked into cell socket will load the maps for off roading adventures with 3G more often than not, and if you're under heavy canopy you can stop (trees knock the antenna off) and load up the satellite imagery and then swap the connector on the antenna and plug it into GPS socket to get a SUPER accurate position report from GPS. Just be careful with it and get a windshield cradle and a car charger.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Faxman:
I no longer use the Kaiser and my more recent phone doesn't have an external port so I don't need the antenna any more.

If you're interested in it, feel free to PM me. I'm thinking $10+shipping.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] NinoFR:
Hello FaxMan,

Thanks for your feedback.

I would be interested by your external antenna but I am afraid that the shipping cost from USA to France could be to high to be a good opportunity, don't you think so ?

Kind regards,

Nino
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Faxman:
Yes, I agree that it would likely be cost prohibitive and it would probably not be worth going through the process for international shipping.

Probably should have specified US only.

Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomadadon:
I've got an SM-T817T running T-Mobile 6.0.1. It sounds like we may not get 7.0, definitely not 7.1. It's already unlocked, I want to upgrade it to 7.X. Is there a good 7.1 ROM? Preferably NOT T-Mobile, I don't want the bloat if I can avoid it. I used to love Cyanogen but all the "CM is dying, use XXXX" instead is getting old. I do use it as a backup for my laptop for work so I can't run super-bleeding edge, it needs to be able to run most normal stock apps, etc.

Suggestions?

Hello everybody, Please I need your help guys!

My Moto G3 is almost dead,

2 days ago my phone dropped so gently on the carpet while I was charging it, Since then I can not turn it on.

But only when I charge it or connect it to a computer, the screen just flashs and loops boot up screen and nothing than this!

But when I hold press the volume down key while its connected, I got the Recovery mode.

I tired RESTART BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY MODE, FACROTY MODE, BP TOOLS, but nothing happens!.

Any solution please!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperSaket:
Look like your phone isn't charging maybe thats why its not turning on. Do you see charging animation when you connected to AC power supply. Try flashing another rom. See if that helps.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
It seems you can access bootloader mode. You can use fastboot to re-flash stock firmware that might solve the issue.

Press and hold power+volume down until you go into bootloader mode, connect phone to pc, and fastboot flash the stock firmware.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
I second this, looks like your Moto G3 might have lost its physical connection between the battery's cables and the phone's logic board and thus no battery is or could be charging for this reason. I would open up the Moto G3 to see if that's the reason, a possibly bad solder point between the batter's cable and the motherboard, but opening up the Moto G3 to make ANY examinations internally would prove to be a B _ _ _ H, since everything is glued together ala "IPhone Style", in fact Motorola could have taken classes from Apple in how to screw with the customers in terms of repair-ability of their phones that you wont find a single screw, according to the "IFixIt" page you will need a heat gun or a head pad to heat up the corners of the LCD screen and then with a tool to pry it open, and since the glass is very fragile there's a high chance that you will break the glass in the process and you would need to replace that as well. I say that this phone is probably one of the worse ones in terms of user repair-ability, but anyways, I would save my rant of "User Repair-ability" for a different topic for the future, but the point is that in case if you have to open up your Moto G 2015 to fix it yourself, its going to be very difficult.
