[Q] external antenna mod? - G Tablet General

With only one internal "ant" connector (functioning), is there any way to install an external antenna and keep the internal working?

Curiosity killed a cat, but I have to ask. Why do you need an external antenna? I find many WiFi signals around, even when aboard a train to and from Denver. I saw 10-20 signals at cities and many towns while rolling across the countryside. Sometimes I use the "WiFi Analyzer" to select from among the several signals available to me.

Wifi problem

SanDisk Wifi SD card + Magician
Around me there are like 3 wifi networks. I want to connect to one which has lower signal than the other two. The phone wont listen to me and always connects to the strongest signal one. Why is that happening? All three have WEP disabled. And the phone is always "Associating - any"... Please help, dunno what to do!

Navizon - GPS Navigation Redefined

Calling everyone who has a Phone or Wifi enabled Pocket PC!
Ever got lost with your PDA and realised you left your GPS Receiver at home? Do you still want to navigate in big cities when you lose GPS signal? Or hell, do you just hate the fact that HTC does not integrate a GPS Receiver in their phones yet?!
Well, Navizon is the coolest application I've found in a long while. You can navigate using Wifi or GSM!? How kewl is that?

Spread the word. As more people join, more GSM Towers and Wifi Access Points pop up all over the place. If your area isn't covered yet, just simply hook up to a GPS Device and it'll find and plot all the Telephone Masts and Access Points (WEP or Open). Then disconnect the gps, and become set free.
The greatest thing about Navizon is that you can use it as a Virtual GPS Device for your navigator (eg TomTom), which lets you navigate using just GSM or Wifi singals.
It has some other kewl features like seeing where your phone is online; great if your phone gets stolen, or to check on your kids.....(or wife!? - let's not go into that debate)
THE BEST PART IS - IT IS FREE!

(REQ) Remote Control for Garage door

I just run on the following site
http://dailymobile.se/2009/01/07/op...ith-your-blackberry-garageshadow-application/
And I wondered if its possible to have something like that on my diamond.
Most are using infrared which isn't really available in current devices anymore. And afaik infrared in mobile devices will only have a range of at most 1 meter (optimistic guess).
Does the blue flashing light indicate that bluetooth is on?
there is a special remote which can connect to a comp. you can send signals to whatever you like... BUT, it's problematic.
As i stated like a year ago in a guide i wrote about bluetooth services,
the only bluetooth service working with AD controllers is the GXP port.. which you don't have on windows mobile.. it's not software related.. sorry.
You could use NetRemote via WiFi (and configure MortScript to connect to Your home WiFi network automatically if it approaches a certain mobile cell tower so if You are near home You are already connected to NetRemote server) and use an IR repeater from the server for the door. This is a theoretical concept which I haven't tried but in theory - why shouldn't it work?
You would probably want to use gps, not a cell tower id, and yes it is theoretically possible to make your phone trigger something to open your garage... but i think the questions was can you use your phone to open your garage door.
you can't use GPS as GPS can only send signals.. not receive...
you would be able to connect to your comp using wifi but then you'd have to be able to send signals through your home network to the garage door. the problem is not the sending of the signals but the receiving by the door.
of course it's "possible" but it's somewhat of a project to have the receiver operate the door... at least the way i see it.
Joel - wouldn't the outcome be the same, meaning using your phone to open garage door? Of course, the simplest way would be to buy a gsm controller, insert a SIM there with a number and hook the controller up with the door, so when you call the controller it opens the door. That solution is expensive tho and you can't use it for other stuff like with NetRemote - you can practically control anything with IR or ZWave repeaters.
lol, $100-200 for a gsm controller, then a $40 monthly plan for the gsm? i say just go buy a remote. they sell keychain sized garage door remotes at home depot for like $20 and last about a year for the cell battery opening the door about twice a day.
I have a suggestion tho.
try searching for a bluetooth controller.
someone here would have to write the application for you..
but if you manage to find a bluetooth controller, you might (you need to know how) be able to connect it to the engine.. and give it the what... 10mA trigger it needs?
What about a radio (funk) controller ? Can our handhelds do that ?
cellular radio?
untrueparadox - although with your solution doesn't let him open the door with phone, it's definitely the best and cheapest so far
my last year project might just be developing a straight current independent bluetooth controller. i'll give you the prototype for a symbolic price if you want
so what do you do when you happen to be near your home but dont want to or can't park in the garage? You know, those rare but plausible times when it so happens you are parking on the street. OH wait, there goes your door again!
Just hoping you thought it through all the way.
Look into zwave and MControl for your pc

Take a Sprint Air Rave overseas for free calls?

I'm going over seas soon and I'm NOT planning on taking my air rave, but it got me thinking - and I was just curious - could I plug it in to an internet connection overseas and have free calls?
The only reason I can think that this wouldn't work is that
1. The air rave won't register on an IP Sprint detects as foreign.
2. Sprint won't register an air rave that is reporting a GPS location out of their coverage area.
I read one article that claimed that Sprint uses #2, in which case you could create a simple device that plugs into the pigtail port on the Air Rave and reports erroneous coordinates. You could probably do this by recording the input from one location and then playing it back through the pigtail at another location (not sure if straight audio would work or exactly how GPS is transmitted).
There used to be an app for Windows Mobile that would turn your phone into a bluetooth GPS that you could hook other devices up to. If there was something like this for Android - combined with mock locations being enabled, you could hook this up pretty easily.
You could also solve #1 with a VPN.
Anyway, again - I'm really not planning on doing this, just sort of thinking out loud. The fact that I would have WiFi/VoIP anyway wherever I could plug an air rave in would defeat the purpose. Also, I'm sure it would be illegal to operate your own device at 1900MHz in most countries.

Steer internal antenna via Terminal or App

Hey there,
I want to know if it is possible to steer the internal cellular antenna via Terminal or an App without changing the devices radio. I have looked around for quite a while now and still found nothing... I wanted to build an application/scrypt to simulate a mobile transmission tower, so that two phones can directly connect to each other and transmit voice/data without the need of a mobile service provider and for long distances (therefore cellular). In case this or something similar is possible it would be great if you could tell me how... I would then start the developing of such a connection system.
Thanks a lot,
GrubHD
