Hello, this is my first time posting here, I currently own a White Galaxy SII Korean version with an external antenna on the upper right of the phone. And I'm planning on changing this on a black housing like the international version. I was wondering if changing to a new housing without the external antenna will it still work?
Couldn't say for certain, but that external antenna is there for a reason.....certainly the casing for my S2 (international version) doesn't have it, the antenna on my phone is built in......
From that perspective, it's unlikely to be as straight forward as you're hoping.....there may be other internal spacing differences too.....not to mention the near impossibility of removing the screen intact........

I just converted this one (localized, I mean) and I heard that the antenna only works as a signal receptor for tv channels in Korea, so somehow it's still pretty useless. The thing that bothers me is that will it be really compatible with the international housing without the antenna on.

Hi everyone!
I changed my Polaris housing, unfortunately I did not buy the right one and I didn't get the wheel nor keypad.
On top of that I have realized that the black chassis did not have an antenna on it! Only now it is too late and the original antenna is in the trash together with the chassis...
I would like to know what are the connectors for the antenna on the motherboard please? I'll try to make one myself since it seems it's not possible to order the antenna separately and I don't want to buy another full housing...
Thanks!
should see this picture or you can use the HTC Polaris Service Manual that I attach below
Thank you very much, will try to do something...
It pains me to see low activity forums so dead.
I've heard the Galaxy Note i717's antenna is integrated into the BACK BATTERY COVER. But I've also seen parts on eBay that indicate the antenna is located in the the bottom of the phone where the speaker is. Can somebody verify this for me by taking off their back cover and making a call?
I am asking these question because I can't get network on my phone with or without the battery cover. Which probably means antenna is near the speaker part. But can somebody still verify? Thanks
Thanks.
The only thing on the battery cover is the nfc.

This should help.

As stated before, the only thing part of the AT&T cover is NFC.

Did you really have to start a new thread to answer a question on another thread? Someone had already answered the question on the other thread and said it was the NFC antenna.
There are 3 antennas, 2 on the top edge, 1 on the bottom. Not sure which is for cell, wifi and gps. Plus the nfc antenna on the back cover.

Here you go.
Ah, forgot about that 2nd LTE antenna. So 5 total including the NFC antenna.

I'd been wondering this myself. Thanks for the link.
I am aware of both the software and "Correct Hardware GPS Fix" threads, and have applied all of those (S.gps and antenna bend) to my Vibrant. GPS still isn't satisfactory IMHO. So...
Has anyone actually full out replaced the antenna contained in the internal black plastic cover with something that has a higher gain?
I am thinking of trying this, but not sure the specific antenna used in the Vibrant and so not sure what antennas I could swap in place. Does anyone know the spec?
Hello,
Before i get into the problem, i have technical experience and did not do this on a whim. Had to replace the USB port/microphone chipset in my Galaxy S2 so i bought a new part, and carefully took it apart. I did not have to remove the motherboard since i could work within the confines for installing the new chipset. Did, was careful with the antenna, but after putting it all together, i have slightly lower reception. When i had full bars i now i have three out of four.
Was there anything in special i had to keep in mind when handling the antenna? As far as i know it's a simple lead wire. What can i try apart from simple reseating the connector? Thanks.
Seems i found the source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950114&page=4
Will do 'the cutting method' today since after looking more carefully at the chipset the sides really are separate.
Please update this thread if solved
Hey guys im wanting to improve the wifi antenna on older devices, is it possible to buy something i Can plug into phone, i was also considering building a external antenna but id really need to know what material can transmit wifi signals, i read online that copper can do that, but id rather know for sure before I start buying stuff, my budget is very limited. And i saw someone put aluminum inside his phone could that actually work? Also i have a bunch of androids, could i take out the wifi antenna from broken phones and attach it to make a bigger antenna?
