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

I would like to know if it is possible to connect an external WiFi antenna to the Trinity, and if so, how?
Regarding the rear connector, I have found this thread, but no word on Wifi... Or can it be done via the USB connector?
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.
External antena enhances signal on places where the signal is weak
wtf? Are you serious? I know that, I would like to know what TYPE OF CONNECTOR it uses. FME, SMA, MMCX?
sorry, i was reading quickly apologies
Is there a small slide out antenna on the market that i could connect on the connector @ the back of the samsung galaxy s near the sim.
I want to boost up my signal strenght becouse me 3g doesnt work that good in the area.
Any idea's its no problem to customize my backcover
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.

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
Hello good people of xda. While I was disconnecting the gsm antenna wire I damaged the ever so freaking delicate connector so I obtained a new one and fitted it but.. Still no data signal. I noticed on the motherboard that there are two connection points that connect with the rear cover.
One appears to be damaged. Do these contacts have anything to do with gsm antenna.
I wonder if there are any other points on the motherboard that I can connect the wire to?
