Never heard of it, wonder what it'll cost. Not too sure about the no bezel stuff. I used to think bezels on a phone this size were necessary, but it's almost impossible to use a phone this size with one hand anyway.
I just wish it didn't look like, as the author wrote, an iPhone, a One M9, and a HAM7.

That should give you an idea on price.
I think I would rather get the HAM7 16g version, I heard it works here in the USA and has a 4000 mah battery.

Just noticed the Huawei P8 max....6.8" screen
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p8max-7200.php
I saw this phone for $999.99. That's just to my much. It is a awesome device though. Glad to see non main stream devices come out the closest in the USA with great phone to compete with Samsung and HTC. This will make them drop there prices pretty soon once people catch on that better is not based on name based on technology.
My Ham 2 is up forsale. Getting a mediators x2. Do a lot of PayPal signature payments. That big screen will come in handy

ok i may have this completely wrong as i have not tested it yet but i noticed on the back of my tg01 i had 2 round black stickers, one top left, one middle left.
After peeling this stickers off i have 2 little ports which look remarkably like the ports used on internal wifi chips (laptops, nintendo ds) which the areial plugs into for the wifi signal
We can now enhance the tg01's wifi reception with a little careful wire placement
i hope his helps someone with the wifi reception & maybe better battery life as its not having to try so hard for a signal
comments?
Are you sure one of those are not for a external GSM antenna? Like for using in a car
no, i did think this but they are to small. only 2-3mm across. i know what im talking about when it comes to hardware, they are definitely wifi ant. ports.
http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...internal+wifi+connector&um=1&hl=en&tbs=isch:1
this site has loads of pics and prices for the relevant hardware
its called an ipx connector, the pigtails they sell can be used to act as the antennae.
i think this could be a good thing
that connector u linked in is a standard connector used with laptop wifi card , they have a little pin in the middle , the connector on the tg01 has no pin in the middle , the ring around it is the shading
kk here is what i know so far.....
most (if not all) builtin wifi chips have an antenae port out, i know this through research with the nintendo ds, and internal laptop chip on various laptops ranging from toshiba to sony.
they commonly have two of the ipx ports for the loop with the wifi flylead.
it may be possible qualcomm have used a proprietary ipx adapter for extra sales through the hardware of there chipset or toshiba have gotten the grubby little hands on it and done it that way
we need people who want to run an experiment on this and find out if they are what i think they are or if im completely wrong
volunteers????
i happen to have a connector ur looking for , but , it doesnt have a pin in the middle and its 90' angled so it wont fit unless i get the back cover off ... with that said , i dont have a 3angled srewdriver thats needed
... ill make some pics later
could it be possible the snapdragon chipset has done away with the pin for a design point? they may be purely there as a dud bit of hardware as qualcomm have directly etched the wifi ant onto pcb and not allowing the flylead?
or...
they may be semi usable with the core (the bit with the pin) etched onto the pcb and the earth allowed to be enhanced by just using the outer rim of these ipx ports?
or...
im totally wrong and as well as the usb host function you could attach a couple of jump leads to the beast via these ports and jump start that big ol v8 what keeps stalling?
Perhaps they could be test points, do you think you can show us a photograph?
i will upload pics tomorrow, they wont be great quality as i have to use my wifes blackberry for em and it dont take great up close pics.
test points are a possibility, tbh it did cross my mind but usually there just dotson the pcb, not ports, but it is a more advanced piece of hardware.
just out of interest but if you were to hook it up with the ports via usb, there would be a chance you could damage it because of the power usb ports output. if it turns out to be wifi then your gonna blow the chip or worse.
but if you want to try it then by all means psot results
hope this help

nice one!
looks like it connects two aerials for better wifi/radio
compare the connector with this
i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss28/linyedongwyl/Intel-5300-half.jpg
thats the connector for the ipx that has been linked earlier , this is a little different , it would be nice to see what the connectors look like on the tg's wires?
alrite , lets compare this baby to the xperia x1
www.phonewreck.com/wiki/images/b/b2/Xperia_x1_pcb_1.jpg
u can clearly see it also has two unused connectors of the same kind wich appear to be unused /but on tg the two upper ones were connected on the pcb!!!/
as for the interconnection of unknown function on the backplate they used the battery cover to pass it thru(the cover's back is unpainted on thoose specific points to give conduction) if it were to just hold the cover in place the would of left the paint on
see the four pins on the phone around the battery
www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2009/3/xperia-x1-battery.jpg
so i was right, we can get better wifi signal with these ports.
and then
better signal + less energy needed = better battery life
and the SE using the conductor pins for the back cover they have used that on the old w series of phones to. no real idea of what it does though
thanks to those who uploaded pics, helped out a lot with explaining what they are and the circuit detail.
so who' gonna be the first to install this on there phone and so testing for battery life and signal improvement?
Did you get anywhere with this? Very interested!
This sort of thing would surely work:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/800-900-1...099221?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ced70add5
IPX antenna.
Alternatively.. what would almost 100% work is a replacement antenna cable for the tg01
Although I could be wrong... if you look at this review of the LG P990 (Optimus 2X) you will notice the two different types of connector: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4144/...gra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/9
External aerial points for testing the phones at the factory? Can they be used/abused to get an external or bigger aerial setup? What connector is that without the pin????????
Update.. is it an MMCX connector ? (or even MMCX-KC). I am tempted to buy one from ebay (although my TG01 is bricked LMAO, at least I'd know if it fit!) Pretty certain now it's an MMCX connector. Now trouble is... you can get that connector for GSM and GPS... so what are the connectors for I wonder.
For example.. I have terrible reception in the office so having a bigger external aerial on the phone may help, but I'd be interested in a better GPS cable as well Let's have some fun!
EDIT: OR.. I just had a look at my Moto V3i external connection and that is almost identical to the connectors on the TG01.. and it looks like you can get an aerial/antenna kit for the v3/v3i Might give it ago but it's pricey at about £20 :-(
LMAO @ this link: http://www.ehow.com/how_7580234_increase-reception-v3i.html Fancy testing a paperclip guys?
Well... I just ordered a 3G/UMTS antenna from china (so will be a while) with a MMCX connector. I will let you guys know if it fits AND works
Another edit LOL: I also just ordered another external antenna. This time for the V3i RAZR, as it looks like it has the same connector type as the TG01, so will give that a go. Only cost £8.05 for the adaptor and the antenna, so not 'too' bad for something that should fit.
Hi,
I had a problem with the micro-usb port/charger in my galaxy s2. It was what others have already described (constantly charging/not charging, voltage too high messages, etc). So I decided to buy a spare part for the charger, and replace it .
The first time I turned it on, The charger problem was completely solved, but I noticed the signal was gone. I realized I forgot to connect the antenna. So I opened it again and connected it. The antenna is a HF cable which connects to one end to the main board, and to the other end to the spare part I bought.
After reconnecting the cable I saw an improvement, but the signal is still much worse that before replacing it for the first time.
I bought the part here (German language):
[] IShallNotPostLinksAsANewUset []
Could it be this replacement part?? Might be a capacity adjustment problem? I don't know how are usuallry phone antennas designed. I don't know either if this part plays an important role for the antenna (it is anyway connected to the cable).
What can it be? What would you do to recover antenna sensitivity? (I do not have the broken part, it is already gone )
Best regards

Hi, after having had the same problems with charging, I also changed the micro-USB flex circuit/cable. I bought it in the UK from e-cell (on ebay) ... and same as you, I am not able to get 3G anymore, only G! Charging is solved, 3G is gone!
I do have the old part still ... will put it back on and see what happens.
UPDATE:
OK, I put the original part back in ... and 3G/H was immediately back. I can also see that the network strength is the same as with the replacement part (so it doesn't seem to be a defective antenna cable or so), but now it picks up UMTS and HSPA+, while the replacement part only caught GPRS. So what this means is that the replacement part is not the same as the original ... probably the same problem you have.
At the same time there was no miracle and the original part is still no charging unfortunately ...
I had ordered 2 other replacement parts in HongKong which should arrive in a couple of weeks ... will try those when they arrive, and hopefully at least one of them will solve the charging AND the 3G issue!
UPDATE 2:
While driving around with the phone with the replacement part, sometimes I do get E/3G/H+ signals, so it appears that the part is able to handle these ... but maybe only when the signal is very strong? Or maybe there are different types of E/3G/H+ signals?
Hi,
Experiencing the exact same behaviour, the signal is really bad (never above 3 bars). I'm going to open the phone tomorrow to make sure I left the antenna cable properly connected, but judging from what I'm seeing here, I believe the issue is with the small circuit with the USB port. I bought my part from e-cell as well....
Thank you very much for your answers guys. Now I know that my problem is not unusual. however in my case the 2g signal receptiony is also to degradated. Please keep us posted when you get the spare parts from Hong Kong. If they work I will also order 1 myself.

OK, good news ... today I got my second part, and this one seems to work just fine! 3G and H+ are back! And of course it charges.
As I ordered 2 different parts at the same time from HongKong, I am not 100% sure which one I got, but I am quite confident it is the one from mingxing200808. The item I bought is sold out now, but he relisted it (at higher price: 6.90 USD vs 3.90 USD that I paid, still worth it though). Note that the picture posted is not the same as the part shipped (which was newer, at least in my case). Also note that you need to reuse the rubber cover of the microphone (e-cell included that rubber piece). There is also no adhesive on the mingxing part, but as far as I can see you don't need that either.
Good luck!

Hi Guys, I have had this problem also after replacing the usb board, it has been a nightmare thinking that other parts may have been water damaged I replaced the loudspeaker and inner chassis which both have antenna components. After reading your post I ordered a used part from gaproducts on ebay at £3.85 and my phone is now perfect. By the way the defective one was from china via ebay and supposed to be genuine. Wish I had seen this post a month ago it would have saved me so much hassle, but hopefully will help others.
This is strange, i have the same problem after changing the Flex Cable + Charging port. I bought it from ebay (user name yake-gandi3388) so be careful. I requested a refund or replacement but not sure what the answer will be. The phone never connects now to HSDPA (H), it always stays on EDGE (E). On top of that the signal is somehow weaker than before, not significantly, but I can notice it
I thought that the Flex Cable+Charging Port are not linked to Antenna performance in any way Can someone more experienced explain a bit?
Also, anyone tested an aftermarket flex cable+charging port that is working ok, including the antenna performance and full 3G connection?
Thanks!!!
Ive followed about 10 threads about changing usb boards.About 1 person was happy,and the other 9 got other problems.
When they put their "faulty" one back in,the "new" problems vanished.
Most were replacing the board because of usb problem.
I thought they were buying faulty replacements.For all I know someone at Samsung could be "recycling" faulty parts..

Strange... I will try to check with other providers as well. On my side, I have re-contacted the Ebay member and he offered me an additional Flex Cable with no extra charge. Nice commercial initiative, however I am afraid that the next one will have the same issues Will keep you updated once it arrives.
Got this as well. I changed my USB board after it developed charging problems. The first one gave me a flashing battery icon & one of the screw holes didn't line up also. The next one fitted fine but I'm sure my signal is weaker. Compared to my friends S1 on the same network. He gets a stronger signal than me, stood in the same place. Replaced my loud speaker/antenna as I've also replaced the back chassis and think prising the speaker out might of damaged it. Think I'll try another USB board to see if it improves :S the 2nd board had the same Rev. number on it but looked slightly different to the original. (Sadly dont have the original to put back in to test)

I am signed up for a solution to this problem.
I had charging issues with the old port and replaced the board. The new board only allowed for an intermittent 1 signal bar. I put the original faulty board back in and had full signal immediately.
I ordered a second board and have the same issue. No/1 signal bar. Cannot make calls, it tells me "mobile network not available." I can connect to wi-fi with no issues though.
Unless a fix is found I am considering taking one of the new boards and my old board into a service shop and having the usb ports swapped.
Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 (AT&T)
I received a 3rd charging port board today, this one works some, but not as good as original. I'll post the number's printed on the board with there results in the phone.
Original Board: GT-i9100 REV2.2
R.B83 35
Original board worked great until it started having issues with charging/high voltage.
Replacement Board 1: GT-i9100 REV2.3
R.C42 10
This board would charge the phone and connect it to the computer, but would not connect to a network and would give no signal or a temporary 1 bar signal.
Replacement Board 2: R.B54
GT-i9100 REV2.2
This board would charge the phone and connect it to the computer, but would not connect to a network and would give no signal or a temporary 1 bar signal.
Replacement Board 3: GT-i9100 REV2.2
R.B83 36
This board both charges and connects the phone to the computer and it allows for a network signal. The network signal is not quite as good as my stock, but I think it will do.
I do not know what the board numbers mean, but I would guess the REV2.3 is an updated version of the REV 2.2. I think the compatability issue may come in the R._ numbers as Replacement Board 3 is the only one that works and is the closest R._ match. Maybe someone with far more expertise can shed some light on it, but this is my experience.

The USB board has the contacts to connect to the antenna in the back of the chassis. So replacing it with a sub standard part is affecting signals

Please let us know the vendor name on Ebay. As mentioned in my previous post, the vendor (user name yake-gandi3388) agreed to change my replacement with no extra charges. I installed the new piece...the signal is a bit better than previous one...but still lower than the original.
Can anyone advise a vendor that sells replacement part Flex Cable with a strong signal?

I an sorry for for the delay. I live in Germany and I use O2 ( umts frequency in the 2100 Mhz band) . I ordered the part from Hong Kong which Geronymous cited, didn't want to make specific advertising. The user is mingxing200808.
Regarding the question why does this affect the antenna, it is because antennas need to have a certain capacitive load in order to be adjusted and to transmit in a certain frequency range. If the antenna is not adjusted the signal will be reflected back . This capacitance is defined by the geometry of the antenna and might be changed/adjusted by elements connected to the end of the antenna. So the flex part acts as an adjusted capacity load for the antenna.
This is a very rough description, but I hopeit helps.

Finally got my 3rd USB board and my signal has improved a lot! Hurrah! Got from tjuk1980 on eBay. This board is a darker blue, looks a lot better than my second board which was a lighter greener colour, the logo and writing didn't seem as clear as it does on the new one. Getting 3 of 4 bars on H+ at home where as before it would stay on G and if it did pick up 3G/H by chance it wouldn't show any bars.

Well, since only Droid DNA is known to have wireless charging feature, the lack of the coils was the reason the Butterfly & J Butterfly don't have wireless charging?

no, the splash-proof is a bit more, "proof" on this device. honestly don't remember
seeing a single "water marker" sticker on my last teardown.
(gnexus had 3+)
the coils which accept the signal from the pad, need to be integrated into the phone somehow.
I think it was/is a market choice. and fairly easy to make work, if you are inclined to remove a glued cover from your phone.
Will the HTC J Butterfly work on international GSM/UMTS? For example in Australia on 2G/3G/LTE or will I need to purchase the non Japanese version?. Australia frequencies are GSM 900, 1800 / UMTS 850, 900, 2100
Lol you forgot something very important.
HTC J Butterfly is fatter and has a plastic back-cover (see the pics in the other thread about that)
This cleared up everything phew
Me device arrived yesterday, here a couple of first impressions:
+ Nice packaging/box.
+ Easy assembly, strong suction cup. Attached it to the dash of my jeep using no adhesive.
+ Using the Nexus 6 I drove for 20 minutes with Google Maps navigation, Bluetooth streaming music All-Access. Screen brightness set to auto. Battery went from 75% to 76%. Its not discharging like the HTC M7 Car kit.
- Initial impressions of quality is that the plastic material seems cheap. Considering the device is $80+tax.
- Its big and bulky, I am comparing it to official HTC Car kits for M7-M8.
- Proprietary power connector like the one on VÜ Wireless Charger. Have to be careful rotating the mount so the connector doesnt get damaged.
Adjust height so that it wont interfere with volume rockers.
When did you order yours? I ordered on the 3rd I believe and haven't even received shipping information
Where did you get this? The one on the website says it is only for use with phones up to 5.7 inches. Does this still work for the Nexus 6 or did you get it somewhere else?
Well, never mind, I now see in the description that it says it is compatible with the Nexus 6. Strange that they would then mention up to 5.7 inch phones.

I ordered mine on 2/3 in the evening. Arrived on 2/6. Ran another test with brightness blasted, GPS and BT. Doing that battery slowly drained.

Really wanted one of these, but a proprietary charger ? I have a cable I threaded through my dash to my last dock. I would have to do that again and find a new bluetooth receiver as it is in my switched plug.
Guess back to the drawing board.
This is end piece going into the device. Its molded to regular cigarette plug on the other end.

I wouldn't pay so much for that, I got the ottie easy flex wireless and I couldn't be happier. My phone never loses charge wile using GPS and listening to music through Bluetooth.

Last time I checked with iottie they said that the easy flex wireless wasn't officially supported with the Nexus 6. I have seen info on XDA about mods but I wanted a supported model. Iottie have a new model is in works, but this one is available now.
You run the Nexus 6 on max brightness, stream music using BT over LTE whilst navigating and it still charges? What is the amperage spec on the easy flex? I could look it up but lazy right now

It's 2.1 amp. I don't use my phone on full brightness ever, I usually have it at 50-75% brightness. It's officially made for the nexus 5 but works great with the 6.
These guys are the most unreliable fools I've ever seen. First it's January , then it's June, then it's now. I can only imagine the support they provide....

I just received my iOttie wireless QI car mount & charger and I can assure you that it does indeed work with the Nexus 6 and it fits. Even with a case! Charges just fine with my Seidio Surface w/ kickstand!

It's 1amp at the most, unless they got nextgen Qi that no one knows about. They're both rated the same.

Yea I just double checked, you're right. The power cable it comes with is 2.1 I believe.

I might try to cancel the Vu if I can save a few and get the iOttie. I didn't even know about it. I'm not really happy with Tylt anyway, I ordered before this guy and my tracking info still just says "shipping label created". Thanks for sharing the pics.

For half the price you're better off witht the ottie. I ordered it through amazon for about $45.
The iOttie Easy Flex Wireless should accommodate 3.4 inch devices, and the Nexus 6 is only 3.27 inches. So it should fit.
I think the issues is in regards to the wireless charging capabilities. I think I've read that in some cases it couldn't charge because of the "fit".

Awesome, thanks for that.
I was going to ask this about the Tylt, but I think this answers my question.. I just gotta figure out if wireless can charge though the trident case. I've tried it on two QI chargers, no luck yet but I've only spent a few minutes trying to position it.

There is absolutely no problem with charging. I've had mine for over a month and haven't had a problem.
Anyone need need charging cradles or replacement bands for your omate/umeox watch? I broke my Simvalley SW-421's screen and on/off switch, so I'm selling I'm considering selling off the parts--the bands and the charging cables, I have 2 kinds of charging cradles--one is the kind that encloses the watch, and the two others are alligator-clip style, message me an offer for one or more if you're interested
still have charger?
Hey do you still have the charging cradle available?

Can you post pics of the band - my gps and wifi is very weak and i think it has to do with band embedded modular antenna
Thanks
I'm in need of replacement band with gosh and wifi...same as other user weak signal and when bending band with antenna signal gets stronger so the connection issue must be inside of the band...
Thanks
One year later....
Hey,
I know this is quite a bit since you posted... But do you have any of the chargers left over from this post?
LMK, thx
