Has anyone tried fitting a fractal antenna to the back of their TP to help with wifi issues? If so, does it do any good? is this a dumb question? Please share.
Thanks in advance.
Lots of things were tried in the following thread...

It seems that any antenna right up against the aluminum back did not accomplish much.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to fix my brother-in-laws Hermes. He droped it in the car and ran over it with the car seat trying to get it out. I have had to change the flex cable, and couple of parts. The internet button is warped and badly bent and causing some of grief in reviving it. I tried a heat gun to bend it back, but to no avail. I can't seem to find one anywhere.
Does anyone have one? I'm in Ottawa, Canada. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello,
I've purchased 2 GPS antennas for my HTC Touch Cruise and for my friend who has the same phone from a reputed ebay seller who hasn't had any issues before with his products.
I've tried both antennas on my phone and none has shown an improvement, I also tried plugging in the phone to my car charger at the same time while I was in the car in case it had to be powered...but that also didn't work!
I also tried putting the antenna outside and my phone inside and still no signal.
Now it seems unlikely that both antennas aren't working on either Touch Cruise so I wanted to know is there a specific way of doing this? Did I miss a step?
Appreciate all your help!

Recently my provider signal got so weak that now if I am indoors the signal is gone until i go outside. Tried to upgrade via Kies to ICS but the problem persists.
When I stick a small piece of wire in the external antenna connection, my signal goes to full and is perfect!? Is this a hardware or a software problem?
It seems that the internal antenna is not responding because as soon as I remove the wire the signal is gone or is minimal.
For now I keep the wire connected behind the cover and the phone is usable.
As I can see this is a common problem and many complaints are posted on this topic all over the place.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

Internal antenna
Thanks for the link,
Unfortunately I made a mistake by trying to connect an external antenna, not being aware of the consequences. Reading the posts it looks like I will have to bridge the external antenna socket and connect it directly.
Time to bring out the soldering gun and get to work.
I will try a few other options in the meanwhile.
Sh.. happens, anyway thanks for the help, regards...
Hey guys! I have Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman WT19i and I accidentally broken wifi antenna while tried to detach motherboard from its case. Do you have any idea how to fix this? There are two antennas one near anoter but with only one antenna 3 m away from router phone doesn't catch any wifi signal. I don't know if that thing is really a wifi antenna, but I guess so because that thing makes contact with cooper pin on the phone case.
Thanks in advance!
Questions go to the Q&A.
And electronics are quite sensitive, you can not repair them. The antenna could have been affected by electrostatic discharge.
I just fixed it myself. Anyway, thanks.

I have been getting very poor signal reception on my WIFI & Bluetooth. It seems the wires through the band are frayed similar to other pictures I have seen of peoples Omate.
I am like the very many and have had no luck in getting a response from Omate in regards to getting this repaired and assume even if I was to send this off to them it would take months to even receive it back.
I was hoping maybe someone on here has taken the plunge and made the repairs themselves and if so do they have any direction how to do it?
Does anybody know the gauge of the wire or socket?
Any input or advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated
