cheapest lte phone with ms-147 ports - General Questions and Answers

Hi everybody,
You may or may not know that many Samsung phones have ms-147 ports that can connect to extrenal antenna.
The Samsung Galaxy s4 is perfect, but at 100 pounds second hand, its expensive.
Does anyone know of any Chinese phones that are preferabley LTE or even 3g that have external antenna ports? If not ms-147 then something else that I can adapt to an SMA female.
I'm desperate, i really need to source phones that can do this that aren't as expensive as the s4.
Thanks for your help
Zabben
P.S. or any cheap Lte phone I can open up and add my own antenna ports would be great... as long as the phone is rootable and cheap

[Q] GNEX LTE 3 prong car dock out yet?

Has anyone been able to find the US LTE Galaxy Nexus version of the car dock that has the quick doc three prong connection? The Verizon one looks lame compared to the GMS units. I'm surprised not to see them everywhere. There is money to be made here...

Same Motherboard in 510 and 511 - 3G possible on 510??

As seen on Techrepublic the 510 and 511 have the same Motherboard:
"Same case and motherboard for Wi-Fi only and 3G models: Acer is clearly using the same case for both the Wi-Fi-only A510 and the 3G-enabled A511. There’s a space inside the A510’s case for a cellular card and an empty spot on the motherboard for a SIM card slot."
Has Acer left the cellular card holder empty to make it impossible to have 3G feature on A510??
If so, we can just solder a holder to have 3G on A510 enabled (with A511 firmware)!!!

No.
And I say again.... no. This was covered indepth for the 500/501 series tablets.
When you solder any device to a mainboard, you have to have factory type soldering devices. Or, you overheat and destroy any nearby circuits. Not to ,mention you would have to buy at least 2 components, possibly 3.
As with the 500/501, they use 2 different GPS radios. So that would have to considered also. Otherwise, the Rom won't work correctly.
End result.... pay the extra money and buy a 511. It will be cheaper.
(I think the same dude made the same video for the 500 a year ago, and said the same thing.)

I think you are talking about this A500 thread but keep in mind that A500/501 and A510/511 are different devices. Don´t try to compare the incomparable.
Soldering is not such a big deal. A soldering needle, the right temperature and a steady hand can do that too
If it would just be the card holder I would give it a try.
But what are the other 2 or 3 components?

[Q] For cell phone, External antenna through test port

Hey there. I am planning on using the rf test ports built in modern cellphones to connect external antennas.
For my life, I can't find who sells adapters!! Plainly sticking the cable is not reliable, those ports are very brittle.
The first pot in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279903
has links to antennas on ebay and amazon which feature the kind of adapter I want. Those antennas are garbage for my purpose. I am only interested in the connection adapter.
This company sells the ports in bulk. I dont need ports, I need adapters

Who sells?
Thanks!

Official one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA If you have the 50% off code still from registering your phone with Samsung, this would be something worth using it on
If you search on Amazon.com you can find other ones for under $20, search for a MHL adapter for the Note 4..... different phones need different adapters so I wouldnt get one unless it specifically said for the Note 4.... I know someone else will give more information than what I can, so give it a while here, maybe someone will find you a cheaper one yet.
I got mine from monoprice. Works with my Note 4, Note 3, S3 and HTC One M7. The smaller plug is an 11 pin to 5 pin adapter needed for Samsung devices. Not needed on the HTC One.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10021&seq=1&format=2
it's plenty out there.
Many people doesn't know that any MHL cable will work on our Note 4.
The older version of MHL will only needs a 4/5 pins to 11 pins adapter that costs less than USD 5
I actually using my old Smart Dock for Note 2 and it works with Note 4

If you have WiFi just get the chromecast it does the same plus more.. but if your stuck on getting a wired solution then ONLY purchase the one linked in the second post /the Above quote.
Like he stated above register your device with Samsung they WILL give you a50%off code on ALL ACCESSORIES through them. I've bought ones offline from dealers who has 10 THOUSAND+ sales with a 99% + satisfaction rating. I bought a mhl adapter from them and got it plugged it in and every so often it would drop out and go to snow on the screen. Come to find out it was a knock off being sold as a legit own. I returned it and got a refund. But the seller was stunned cause they had a huge shipment of worthless mhl knock offs.
So just buy it from Samsung the official one, it'll last used it on my note 2 and note 4 until I bought the chromecast. Both will do hdmi and surround sound. Not to mention the one that's compatible with the note 2 and 4 is also compatible with s3 s4 and other devices running usb2.0 from Samsung.
Don't buy the knock offs or imitations they don't transfer data at the same rate as the official one and audio quality isn't as good.
But honestly if you have WiFi in your place get the chromecast, you can mirror anything in your screen turn a movie on from the other side of the house and use your phone for other reasons.
Thanks a lot for the info just order one from Samsung. Not got wifi right now moving home

Do you think is possible convert a N910c in dual Sim version N9100

Hello everybody...
Anyone knows if is possible convert a normal N910c in a dual Sim version of Galaxy Note 4 N9100? I just thinking, if is possible of course, change the the normal flex part that hold one Sim card for a new one with a double Sim card holder and change the middle housing too, for the same as N9100 uses to fit the new parts. On eBay I find this two parts, anyone have some idea if this is gonna work? Is necessary some firmware implements? The Note 4 is a awesome smartphone and I noob here just thinking if this go work with it.
Thanks people. You're the best.
The parts on sale in eBay. I can't post the links to this part here, noob haha, but if you wanna know who are this part, search on eBay for "OEM Double SIM Card SD Card Holder Flex Repair For Samsung Galaxy Note 4/N9108W" and "For Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N9100 N910F N910X Battery back Full Housing Cover Door".
That's all.
Mmm not really... at least not with these parts. There's a chance to convert it but I'm sure that you would need to buy the main dual-sim pcb and the back housing itself. The double sim flex will not work in the N910C mainboard. Cheers!
Do you think I need a new mainboard to this work? I was thinking that Samsung use a universal mainboard and add new components to her to build the different models...
Well first of all both N9108W/N91000 are snapdragon variants while our N910C is an exynos one. If you're able to snap the dual sim board in the PCB, you will still need to use a dual sim-enabled firmware, and the only available dual-sim firmwares are for snapdragon processors so it will not work in your device. That's why you should buy a N91000 Snapdragon pcb and swap your Exynos one. Cheers!
Ok, I understand it, not worth the effort, is more easy change between models and I don't need to do this... But it was curious if this would work. Thanks!!!
There is actually a dual sim adapter for that. It's available for most phones, I used it for my Note 2 but the flex cable was too thick so it kinda bulged when I forced the adapter under the battery cover.

I know those adapters, but you need switch with them to receive the signal of one or another operator, right? Or both sim works the same time?

I THINK they work together. I can't confirm it as those adapters works on stock roms and I was using custom, so there was some issues trying to detect the sims.

simply not possible
Nope, unless you are a software developer and can alter the stock firmware for your N910C to support the use of dual SIMs.
Hey guys,
i will come back to the Topic from the opner.
i have the Galaxy Note 4 SM-910F with a Snapdragon 805 CPU, in this case i think that can be work.
But i thik the firmware / baseband must be changed to the firmware from the N9100 / N9108W.
Perhaps also the kernel?
