Hi,
When tearing down the phone to replace the front bezel, I have managed to disconnect the GPS antenna from its connector.
As the connector and cable are both very small, i'm unsure if I can repair it. I can also find no information online regarding the type of cable, and connector. it looks like a very small coaxial cable, complete with shielding.
I also looked online for a replacement GPS module for the phone, but cannot find any information as to what GPS module and antenna is in the phone, or source replacement parts.
i was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problems? If anyone can offer tips / advice on :
* how to either repair the antenna
* any technical information for the gps antenna / module part numbers manufacturers etc
* any resources that stock this gps module and antenna.
if anyone happens to have spare parts lying around, I am more than happy to pay for the GPS module / antenna if you can part with it
Thanks for your help

Anyone have a broken XT720 they are willing to part out or maybe already started to part out?
I replaced my digitizer glass today (boy was getting the glass removed a pain in the ass!) and when I was reassembling the phone the white antenna cable end broke off that pushes down onto the mainboard.
You can see the cable at the 5m mark in this disassembly video (not mine):

(The video is good but unfortunately stops before taking out the digitizer glass)
I initially thought this may be for wifi antenna (same antenna cable found in laptops on wifi card) but I still have good wifi signal, but I am unable to register on network so it may be going to cell radio and not wifi radio.
I may try and make one out of an old laptop cable, but I would have to cut it/solder it to get the right length (and thats if the connector is the same), so I am hoping someone is willing to part with one!
Thanks!
Look around
I am hoping to salvage my wonderful nexus 5. When replacing the screen I partial pulled the 3g antenna connector off of the main board. Now I randomly have service. Sometimes pushing on the back of the phone works to reestablish service, normally it does not. I was curious If I could get a custom antenna wire that would go from what i believe is the antenna test point to the normal connector on the bottom. If you think this would work any suggestions on where I could get that type of connector made
As per the title I am getting a much diminished signal after changing the charging port to a new one.
The worst is when I grip it in my hand which would naturally be at the bottom - where the charging port is.
I only get LTE when I'm outdoors and indoors it's either H+ but usually H, E, or even NO SIGNAL.
I can't figure out what could be the problem. There are 2 antenna inside the unit that connect to the charging port but these are bluetooth and wifi. It doesn't appear to be an antenna for the network signal. Or is the frame part of the network antenna? I see some electronics in the frame when I dismantled and I don't know what that is for or how it connects to the mobo. I'm thinking if the frame works as an antenna maybe it's not connecting to the mobo properly.
Just to clarify I was having no signal problems before I dismantled the unit and in fact it was working exactly the same as my previous phone.
I actually don't know if the charging port part has anything to do with the signal antenna.
Any comments appreciated.
Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problems with my SM-G920F. After replacing the charging port the bottom mic isn't working anymore. I'm forced to call on speakerphone to get the sound to the other end of the line. The repair centre who fixed the phone said it could be because of a little off-point alignment when soldering the usb pin on the pcb. They also said that they experienced the same problems on different repairs for the S6.
Any thoughts?

Please start you own thread on your issue. It has nothing to do with this thread. Mod please remove this post.
I think I know what happened. When I took off the back cover plate it was glued to what looked like a Printed Circuit Board antenna and it was yanked by myself. Anyone know where I can get these type of things to buy and repair ?
Hi guys
My daughter dropped my Oneplus One in the water, hopefully, there was not many water, and the only water visible seems to be inside the jack connector a red liquid was visible after)....but while disassembling my phone, i.made a mistake withmy tools and accidentaly broke a pin on the motherboard...seems related to some kind of copper antenna on the back cover...but i can't find any information. Can you tell me what kind of antenna/pin is it exactly ?
I attached a picture who show the pin i broke accidentaly
Many thanks
So far, no signal drop with wifi..and 4G network
NFC pin connector....
Thanks....but i did some research , seems to be the wifi/bluetooth pogo and not NFC. But no problem with NFC, nor with wifi or bluetooth
Many thanks
There only 3 type of receiver on the back cover of the phone (look at inside of the back cover)....
1. NFC receiver
2. GPS receiver
3. Signal receiver
The NFC receiver is in the middle of the phone, the GPS receiver is on top right while the signal is on the bottom right...
I have changed my defect display and my right coax connector is broken .
What is the function of this connector / cable
There is a second connector could I use this connector
If you broke the PCB Connector, you need to get to a proper repair shop and have it replaced, if it had a cable and you broke that you need to get it and have them make you a new one. But since it's a phone I would guess it's the PCB antenna. Also those are the antennas for the GSM combo module, WiFI/Bluetooth combo, so you will either have reduced or no signal from your operator or you won't be able to connect to WiFi/Bluetooth reliably or at all.
