Hello
I was wondering if anyone can offer some help on a question I have. My friend has a skyrocket that had a water accident. I opened and dryed it out and everything is working fine except the wifi. Although it is not totally greyed out completely it looks like it wants to breath but with no success. I was wondering what part would I have to replace. The cable antenna or maybe the charging port module? Is there any other part that is related to the wifi?
Thank you
i guess noone here has the schematics of the phone? or any knowledge as to how the wifi works?

Do anyone here know where i can find a captivate mainboard? My captivate got water damage and now bleutooth, wifi and charging is not working. Beside that everything is fine, any help will be appreciated.
Anyone have a broken captivate with the mainboard still working?
try craigslist or the marketplace on xda,lot of dissatisfied customers.
Hey XDA,
I just got a Nexus S and when I went to put the battery in noticed what looks like an antenna port to the right of the battery, just curious if anyone knows what it's for as I didn't see anything mentioned about it in the manual (doesn't show up on their diagram of it).
I saw this the other day too, some info on the subject would be nice.
external antenna port. Lots of phones used to have them.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Thanks,
Do you know the connector port name/type is? I get 1 bar at best of coverage in my home and generally only use my phone in one spot and wouldn't mind an external antenna of some sort.
Edit:
Found the port name MMCX, now just looking for a antenna that will work.
If you see the W!,R1,,w2 holes. they are your attenas and recivers. if you poke the small hole with something you break connectivity. Which you can now get it replaced if you have insurecnce doe.... dont listen to me this is just my expeice that i had with my samsung insinct, I'm sharing education. this is fraud.
please disregard all grammatical errors its 2am and im tired but bored... this is sad.
Hey guys,
was in to the tmobile shop when i got water damage. They tried to hook it up to a diagnostic tool but it didnt connect. I have my suspicions that this is some sort of tool that uses ADB communication to diagnose issues with the phone. Since i have been in there my usb connection has come back to life. Anyone ever heard of a tool that would let me diagnose hardware issues? I have a feeling that the issue with my device is simply the antenna or the sim reader. Everything else on my device works fine. Wifi, gps, camera, speakers, microphone, everything. Touch screen all of it. Even the vibration motor works great. Just dont get any reception on the device. any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks guys!
Water damage can be fatal. Even tho every thing else may be fine... Sounds like the radio is fried.
If you can manage to flash stock and it's the same, it's fried.
If you can't get it to communicate with the pc.. Again... May be the water damage.

It can communicate with the PC-------> i plugged it in this morning to charge and the file explorer sprang to life. I can access everything on the device now.
right now the signal goes from "no service" to "emergency calls only" intermittently
You already have a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/water-damage-t2830408
This is a question directly related to the water damage so I suggest you ask this question there too.
Thread closed.
I have 2 Galaxy Note 4 phones. Love em. They are both running the same configuration, Android 6.0.1. I have an MHL adapter that I have used on may devices for quite a while and it works great. However, it only works on one of my Note 4 phones. I am totally baffled. I spent a couple hours reviewing the settings on both phones to see if something was different. I even upgraded it to 6.0.1/Marshmellow and when that didn't work I did a factory reset. I have read every troubleshooting guide and nothing seems to work. I guess what I am looking for is someone who understand what I should be looking for....
Clearly its not the adapter since it does work on the one Note 4.
It seems to me this is likely a hardware problem because of the fact that I did a factory reset, but honestly I can't really say. I don't think the lcd digitizer would affect it, but just in case I pulled it and installed the one from the working phone. No joy.
Anyone know if there are hardware differences between Note 4s made at different times? I don't know what else to try but if anyone has an ideas please offer it as this has me stumped.
Thank you
May be a silly question but I ask it because I see you made no mention of it but have you checked and compared the charging ports between the two and is there any missing pieces or bent port pins, debris, pocket lint or anything else that would affect the connection to the phone?

I don't think it is a silly question at all. For me, usually the problems I have the toughest time solving are often when I am looking for the complicated solution and forget the simple one starting at me. I just assumed the USB was ok because I can charge the phone and browse files. But obviously it has to be that. Really there is not much else it could be when I break it down. Now that I test it more closely the file transfer is not the best on this phone.
I guess I needed to hear that. Yeah so it seems quite obvious now. I just replaced the lcd digitizer so I may as well go ahead and replace the charging port while I have the phone apart since I can buy one for +/- $10.
Thank you for the input. This was an easy one after all. Well...let's hope. I will post again once I receive and install the part.

Update?
Hello, I recently got a Galaxy A22 5G, the user dropped it on the ground, and after that the phone doesn't charge, vibration motor also doesn't work, sound, microphone and speaker too. It turns on though and it's working fine (except the other problems mentioned). The phone doesn't have any cracks or scratched so I am guessing the drop wasn't very hard, is there any chance to repair it without paying a lot? I am guessing maybe a cable disconnected internally, or maybe the board just got damaged, I don't know.
Did anybody experience the same issue before?
Yeah. I guess it was a problem with the board. I just got a new phone after that.

most likely you have disconnected the cable that connects the motherboard and sub-board, so the repair will not be expensive, maybe even free if you have the skills to open the phone sorry for my English
