AW: The thing on every back phone
I think thats only on Samsung phones. On Htc Evo 3d it isn't...
Never seen it in my life
I've an s3 and it doesn't have this

It's also there on my Samsung omnia w. But not there on any of my HTC's or LG's so think it's only there on older Samsung phones

No, i've seen it on many phones until now, on every Sony Ericsson k series, w series, etc., Samsung, Nokia.
Not being captain obvious here, but maybe it's a screw?

Those are for an external antenna. Every phone I have ever seen has one but sometimes they are hidden under a sticker or rubber plug. I don't exactly know what the practical use for one is though. I can't imagine anyone walking around with a wire sticking out of the back of the phone and an external antenna duct taped to the phone.

I had one my Lg Vu, never really knew what it was, but I just assumed that it was something that the phone company used for diagnostics or something. The external antenna makes more sense though. I wonder if i could buy the equipment to use an external antenna on it. The coverage at my cottage is sporadic at the best, and I'm not there often enough to justify paying for a land line.
It's the antenna

Its a antenna you can put a peice of wire in it and you get better signal lol

That's even more curious, if you saw the first picture...how am i supposed to put an antenna under the battery?
its on Samsung phone. I think

It's a connector (type FME) for an external antenna and is designed for use with a "car kit" that is permanently mounted in a car or some other fixed location. The reason it can be under the battery is that you take the battery out and the car kit base unit supplies power to the phone either from the car's power system or, if you've set it up at a fixed location, eg., at gator365's cottage, you would have a mains operated power supply for it.
It used to be a common feature on cell phones, but you don't see it so often now days.
I would not recommend just connecting a piece of wire as suggested by bbrad - it might be ok on receive, but an unmatched random wire antenna is not going to do the output stage any favours when transmitting and is likely to result in a dead phone - a high VSWR is bad for any transmitter.

about point 2): keep in mind that this requires removal of the battery cover and then opening the battery compartment door which may not fit to the term "easily", especially when the phone is powered on

yes, yr right, "easly" dosent match lot here, but no need to remove the battery and turn the phone off ths most important. thanks again kind from u
if u remove the battery door, chances are that the battery will slip out.
If u wanna know if the sd-card is hot-swappable or not, i would say the answer is no.

Considering how you can fry the emmc chip in these devices by removing the battery, I wouldn't even consider that it's worth the risk trying to swap out an sd card while the device is powered up in order to save three minutes

To remove sd without turning the phone off I simply open the battery cover while keeping the battery still against the contacts with my thumb. Before that, obviously,I go to Settings-storage-unmount sd card!
By the way,I have wifi grip issue: it happens whenever I put even a single finger beside the speaker, below the jack output.

Hello guys, got my One S a month ago, was really enjoying the phone, great speed, great UI, great Camera, etc..
But yesterday i accidentally dropped it, and from now on, my phone has signal issues. Most of the times it says "No Service", and sometimes when i grab the phone it says full strength, then 3 second later the signal drops.
What could it be? Maybe the antenna connector slipped off when i dropped the phone? It was a really low drop though.
Please, i need some help.

Those are antennas but they are not GSM/cell radio antennas. If someone wants to test this, look at your bars and then remove the cover. Nothing will happen. Your bluetooth will probably disconnect though...
Cell antennas are almost always in the base of the phone now near the mount, this is to reduce radiation while on a call.

Mine did not look like that
I just had the gold pin on the bottom right corner, with some sort of cloth covering the speaker, That was it.
Its a little hard to judge as the pic isnt that clear.

interesting... i've been having reception issues lately but i attributed them to the latest software update...
I did drop the phone from about knee high the same day i got the update and hte problems started...
The problem to my one s seem the WCDMA.. when its on i lose the signal like istantly.. with gsm only its working with 5 bars. any idea why WCDMA is giving problem to me?
Pull sim and check it had similar problem with glacier. Sometimes the sim card doesn't make good contact and will drop cell service.

Hey,
I also had dropped my phone recently and broke the screen. I got the screen replaced, however I seem to get terrible signal after that. I get full 5 bar signal in an open area but if i get into my home or office, i keep losing it. The signal bar keeps reducing and show 3,2-signal bars and then loose gsm connectivity completely. Wifi works pretty decent with no issues however.
Have any idea to fix this?
I had to send my HTC One S to repair. There was no other way of fixing it.
Could you post a picture of the "broken" antenna from you ?
Hi guys, my super star dhd, wifi antenna broken, it's dropped and wireless not opening... Says error or on - off but not connection.
Where is the wireless antenna? Where can I buy?

You can see the Wifi antenna connecters on the left side. The antenna itself is part of the battery door. You can see it running along the inside of the battery door covered by black plastic.
From the looks of it, the antenna itself is fine. And even if the antenna was broken, your phone wouldn't say "error". That is very likely a software error. Maybe you could try and reset the phone to factory settings.

Or you can put something on the battery door conections to make them work again. As its just like some conducting paint or something. Or bend the tabs on the phone side a little bit up (BE CARFEULL tho, bend to far and the tab breaks.)

I have been using my DHD with two batteries for some time now. The frequient pulling out of the battery has taken its toll on the door panel. It is hardly held in place. Along with it, I have started to face issues with Wi-Fi. I am able to connect only when very close to the Wi-Fi router.
Where can I get a replacement door panel. The service centres have been of little help.

I suggest to take your phone to a technical place. It's not a software problem
Anyone have tips for this? Any BT headphones I Use skip. They skip on stock android or any ROM. sometimes worse than others.
One thing I have found out it I Have one of those belt clip hard covers for my phone. When inserted into the slide it starts skipping IMMEDIATELY! Are there any tips for this as its SUPER annoying.

no one else experiences this? Should I do a return with Google under warranty as a hardware issue?
I recently picked up a pair of wireless headphones (http://www.amazon.com/Soundpeats-Bluetooth-Lightweight-Headphones-microphone/dp/B00LP6CFEC). They work well about 90% of the time. On my half mile walk home they do get random skips. On the train today, it got an "out of range" issue and I havent been able to re-pair it since. I also have a bluetooth shower speaker that I have had virtually 0 issues with. Not sure if this helps you at all, but I can't tell if its an issue with the headphones or my phone.

Oddly I was working on my GF's house last week and the guy helping had a "something"candy BT speaker. We paired and ZERO issues with pandora ALL DAY. It seems to be only headphones.
Out of the case I get minimal skips but once its in that clip it skips every 3 seconds. So weird. Sucks cause when Im running I hate holding my phone in my hand.
Wonder if its a channel thing or what
so with more researching I came across a few things to try.
one I set my wifi to 2.4ghz only and left it on using BT
next I set my kernel to conservative.
I actually worked out at lunch today with zero skips on my headsets.
Hopefully this proves continuous
scratch that didnt work.
Does ANYONE use BT headphones that DONT skip. At this point Im willing to buy another pair.
I have 2 sets of BT headphones I use daily and both cause random skipping for me:
Sony MDR-XB950BT/B - http://store.sony.com/extra-bass-bl...XB950BT/B/cat-27-catid-All-Headphones-Earbuds
Jaybird Bluebuds X - http://www.jaybirdsport.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
Both of these headphones skip mainly while I'm walking and my phone is "floating" in my pants pocket. If I hold my phone in place in the pocket, or I hold the phone in my hand the skipping stops immediately.
My phone is running the latest stock 5.1 factory image and is rooted. Other than that there are no changes.
I haven't gone through a full test process to determine what's causing it, but I've got some thoughts.
All of my listening is streamed through Google Music, so that'll be one of my first checks. I have yet to put some MP3s on my phone and test locally.
As an aside I also have the Outdoor Tech Turtle Shell 2.0 speaker (http://www.outdoortechnology.com/Shop/Turtle-Shell/) and find that it doesn't come close to the claimed 32 foot range. If my phone is more than 5 feet away I start to hear random skips even when the phone is stationary.
I have temporary success when I forget the connection and repair, but the skips always seem to come back.
I've had issues with headphones in the past. Although the issue could be partly caused by the radio in the phone, in my own experience its usually caused by your body literally getting in the way of the signal. I know this sounds silly but try putting the phone on the other side of your body or closer to the headphones. It might not be a real solution but I never solved my problems either other then by getting new headphones.

Yes I was wearing a sweater and jogging a couple weeks ago and had the phone clipped to my chest. No skips. As the other guy states if I hold my phone still it seems fine but as soon as its free clipped to my waist or pocket its skip city.
Very poor on google part honestly.
Ive tried everything to get this to work as the skipping is out of control and horribly annoying when in a work out rythm.
It does it on local music, pandora, play music online etc etc. there is no win here and honestly google needs to address this bug cause it seems to be accross multiple phones.
I went to the Gym yesterday and my QY7's had no skipping at all the entire time. Walking to the train this morning, I had light skipping. While on the train, no skipping at all. It really does seem to be body related interference. Maybe the bluetooth radio in the N5 is weak or something?
well here I am again.
The nexus 5 is bluetooth 4.0 a2dp (the letters I guess are just for sound alone not protocol)
I found a pair of headphones close (and these were CHEAP) to 4.0 like 3.6 or something.
They seemed to work great even when running.
My guess is when buying a set of headphones is to make sure they are SERIOUSLY close to and compatible with the 4.0 in the nexus.
My first were like 2."something" and the others I think were higher.
Im going to try and find a pair that are exactly 4.0 a2dp and see if there are issues.
Hi all,
I came from Gear Fit2 to Gear S3. The watch is great but the sleep tracking is weird. My Gear Fit2 used to measure almost accurate where Gear S3 is tracking as bits and pieces. I am using S3 from 22 Nov 2016 and I can see lots of break between sleep where I never wake. The gaps are like 30min to 60 mins.
Gear S3 sleep tracking today.

So when you call it a night and wear the watch, it automatically knows your asleep??? Coming from the original Gear S you would select "Sleep" then it would go into do not disturb mode.

S2, Gear Fit2 and S3 - all tracks the sleep automatically. There is no way you can set to sleep mode.
Gotcha.. I'll give it a shot tonight. ?
I've noticed the same thing on my S3. Had it since the 20th and only one night has not been broken up. I also haven't found a way to edit the times to combine them.

We shouldn't be editing the sleep data.
Interesting part is, it shows the broken part as Light activity and it's even comes some steps everyday.

I've noticed the same problem. The S3 only captures part of my sleep and sends that portion to S-Health. My Fit2 captures the entire night.
I am having the same issue as well. Hopefully this is a software issue that Samsung can fix.

I have chat with the support Australia, the gave a standard suggestions like reset the device, reinstall Gear Manager and pair it again. I will check with them tomorrow and I have to test the sleeping pattern. I told them, I did all they suggested but didn't do any as you all know, it just waste of time and I don't want to lose my data history.
I haven't had it track mine odd at all... I noticed the notification and looked through it, it looks broken up with light activity in a few areas as expected and the times appear to be accurate. I'm using the T-Mobile Gear S3.
I have my gear s3 taken off from wrist and put on table before I go sleep and it does track my sleep for 2 hours, isn't it crazy?
My problem is somehow fixed. I don't which one fixed the issue. I was using Samsung's red band which came free with my frontier. The holes are different than the stock black band. I put the black back. And also I had horrible battery life. So, I rebooted the watch also. From that day, my sleep activity is solid and perfect as usual. I am wearing the band pretty tight, where I got bruised

I am having a very similar issue. I always wear my Gear S3 now after switching from Fitbit. Fitbit tracked my sleep almost to the minute, whereas this new and "improved" watch tracks about an hour and a half of my 8 hour sleep. I wish there was a fix for this as I am not accurately measuring how much I am sleeping at night, which is one of the main reasons I wear a smart watch to bed...
