Hi.
Does anybody know what the external antenna connector actually is? I can't find any information about it nor even a pigtail to fit it so I can attach an external antenna - and I've looked in the repair/disassembly manual already.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

From my point of view its a GSM testing cable connector for the hardware support.
Unfortunately nothing to extend range or to improve signal and not used like some older mobile phones for an external antenna when pluged to a car mount.

You are certainly wrong. I had some problem with my antenna before and by inserting a thin copper wire in that plug, i could got signal. It is definitely an external antenna plug. You can see the connection between that plug and internal antenna plug on the mainboard.

So just stick a piece of copper wire in it?
Do not try it!
It's DEFINITELY an external antenna conector. I've used it to get signal in the middle of nowhere.
That said, DON'T DO IT!
It's VERY easy to break the conection to the internal antenna. Your phone will have no signal afterwards, only with an external antenna. Some had no signal at all, even with an external.
It happened to me, as detailed in this thread.

On the back of the Epic 4g there are 4 external antenna ports labeled R2/G W1 W2 and R1.
Is it possible to hook up and external 4g (WiMax) antenna to one of these ports?
If so, what port would I connect to, and what type of adapter and antenna will work?
Thanks
A quick search of the forums for "antenna" will answer your question.
However, basically those ports are meant for FCC testing and from the other threads anyone who has tried to use them has caused the internal antenna on the phone to become perm. disabled or other corruptions.
Can anyone tell me what kind of connector is this? I can upload a better picture if needed.
Thanks
I also have this phone, and i had actually noticed that port before.
I think it is indeed an antenna connector.
the reason is, when i dissasembled my old laptop completly, i found a similar port that connected the wireless card to the antenna that ran aroud the screen.
As for what it does, i have no idea.
But im not an expert, this is just an opinion

I figured that much, what I would like to know is the type / name of it, so I could find an antena for it. Why? Because I can and for the fun of it, just to see what happens .
It could bee for the wifi radio, or the gps radio or all of them, can't be sure without actualy testing it
This as an externel antena for 3g/2g
I've seen the tear down and I'm hoping someone has already tried connecting an external antenna to this phone and can share their result. I'm hoping to be able to attatch one mounted on my car and wire up a removable pigtail for use while driving through weak signal areas.
The connector visible under the battery should be the main antenna connector
Hello! For two days looking for information on the type of connector for external antenna Galaxy s4. I can not find anything. Can you help me with this information?
Hello, if you're looking to connect a external antena search on Google for MS-705 test cable.
