is it possible to add a antenna to the wifi i notice what looks like a wifi antenna jack down by the battery connector is this wat it is would i simple use the wifi antenna from an old laptop and wrap it around inside the housing as my wifi range is horrible as it is now
Thanks,
yonu
i thought i would add a pic what I have circled I would assume is the wifi antenna jack
I am not trying to be a pain but u i need to figure something out as i mean this literally unless i lay the phone on top of the wifi router and i have tried this in several places i can't pickup a wifi signal.
Thanks,
yonu

Hi,
I am a former TyTN (Dopod 838pro) user. I used it really well together with an external radio antenna to boost my cellular signal reception (bought that from expansys.com) since I used the phone a lot as 3G wireless broadband modem. The performance is superb!! very satisfactory.
After getting my Kaiser, I found out that, the device has two ports at the back. One is for GPS as stated in the manual and another one (which is smaller) is I THINK should be for the radio cellular antenna.
The problem is, my former antenna adaptor does not fit into TyTN II. I find it very difficult now to get a good reception.
Anyone has any idea where I can get to buy one? I did search from Google, yahoo but mostly showed me GPS external antenna. it is not the one i wanted. Please help me!
Just now I tried again using the same adaptor for TyTN and it fitted firmly as it should be!
It is just my optical ilusion that made me see the port seem to be smaller than the GPS but the fact is it is the same size....
sorry...
Which antenna do you have? How's the performance on it?
Do you have to remove the back to attach? It looked to me like the rubber GPS cover would only uncover the GPS antenna port...?
I too discovered the two holes in the back. My TyTn adapter seems to fit both, but I'm not sure which is for RF and which is for GPS..and why there isnt a second hole under the rubber plug for the second female port? Is this a tilt design? i.e. do TyTN II branded devices have two holes? Seems to me its time to get the Dremel out :-D
Hello everyone
I recently, (finally) ordered a headphone/usb splitter thingy so i can play my tunes off the tilt in my car. Either thru an fm transmitter or a headphone/tape converter i put in the tape deck in my car. First off, im totallly impressed how great the sound is thru the stereo, a combo of car stereo settings/ and the audio booster/equalizer make even slayer sound good at the proverbial (11).
My question is this, im not sure if the att sites around here are jacked way up (power-wise) or what. But that annoying beeping, fluttering, digital sound you get thru your house speakers if you set your phone to close (or your tv or anything else w/a speaker for that matter)... its happening in the car also.
I can understand when im using the youtube player, the thing is streaming.
But even just playing mp3's or watching a movie thats on the SD card, i still get it from certain towers in certain towns. We have hellacious service here in New England, with alot of the towers on major routes not even doing handoffs correctly, resulting in missed calls etc. So i have a reason to wonder if its the service im getting i suppose.
Being the (non) brainiac that i am, i took a shield from a 25 pair cable i was punching down at work the other day, and put a large piece of it over my headphone wire/connector. Would this do anything? Is there such a device you could buy? (some sort of RF/emf shield?) It seems to work if the phone itself is the problem (youtube)... however coming thru by a certain cell tower again the other morning, that thing was chirping and burping like 2 dollar gutter whore.
Any suggestions or comments on this are appreciated, sorry for the rambling.
I live in North Mississippi near Memphis and have experienced the same issue. Sorry that I am no help towards a solution. Just thought I would let you know you are not alone.

Nope, the RF emitted by the phone is acting direclty onto the low level circuitry inside the car radio.
Even if you're not streaming anything, when the phone switches to another cell toper it notifies it that it has done so, and thus will communicate for a moment. How often it will do so, whether it will be on every tower or only after defined amounts of time, or even every group of X towers is defined by the operator. If you say coverage is know to be bad they might have just set it to notify on each tower and the phone is often switching.
Sometimes placing your phone on an antistatic bag, like Hard Drives come in helps. At least it does with computer speakers.
The noise is referrd to as RFI (Radio Frequency Interence) and EMI (Electro
Magnetic Interference). Both of these are what is affecting your system.
As your phone gets POLLED (Where are you message) by the cell phone tower, it responds with a "Here I AM" message. Its this initial communication
(handshake) that that is causing the interference.
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question230.htm
From another website:
"a cellphone tower can only support a limited number of simultaneously
connected cellphones. It therefore needs to know exactly when a cellphone
leaves its range, or disconnects from the network altogether, so it can free
up its connection slot for use by another cellphone. Normally a phone
communicates a disconnect to the tower whenever possible (for example if
it's getting out of reach and connects to another tower, it then disconnects
from the first and the connection gets transferred gracefully from the old
tower to the new one, even in the middle of a conversation). However, if you
just yank out the batteries, the phone gets utterly destroyed, you suddenly
enter a cage of faraday or even an underground tunnel, ... the phone will
have no time to notify the tower, so the tower needs to check up on
supposedly connected phones from time to time to check that none of them are
MIA. It's basically similar to an ICMP ping on the Internet. And that's what
you hear over your speakers. Similar thing happens right before a call or
SMS comes in, or when you dial out: there's two-way communication, and the
RF interference the cellphone puts out is picked up by your audio
equipment."
Either move your phone, or turn it 90 degrees to the right or left. It has to do with the phone switching over to Edge (or if it's always on Edge, you're gonna get it regardless) and the speakers are picking up the radio traffic as interference. It shouldn't happen when the phone is on 3G/HSDPA. Just repositioning the antenna, i.e. the phone, has always worked for me. You could also look up distortion reducing tricks, there was something on Makezine.com about putting magnets on the speaker wires to get it to stop, but I couldn't find the entry right now.
Cool beans, thanks for all the info. I understand about handshakes and all that and figured that was exactly what was happening. Doesnt seem to matter 3g/H/E certain towers do it no matter what im doing. As i noted the towers around here have been having major issues w/ handoffs so who knows. BTW not only does your cellphone poll constantly, but usually your phone call is happening on at least 2 towers at a time. So once tower A gets more signal then tower B it switches over to A (which already has your call processing at the same time) So yea its gonna happen no matter what i do. Truthfully its not that big of an issue, but i just came up w/ the greatest cheapo mount, and of course where i have the dam thing is directly over the stereo. lolz
Thanks again!
A though regarding the wifi antenna inside the Kaiser.
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=812152&native_or_pdf=pdf
The Wifi and BT antenna is located at the bottom of the handset.
Do you think adding a plastic coated twist tie to increase the length of the wifi antenna? http://www.interplas.com/product_images/100/Twist-Ties-100px.jpg
since i will be replacing my housing i was thinking if this would improve wifi range.
your thought please.
I would also like to know if it is possible to connect some external wifi antenna to the kaiser? Probably it would be home made...

I wouldn't think so. Adding the twist tie would change the wavelength of the antenna and would change the tuning of it thus worsening the SWR back to the transmitter. An antenna is not so much about just adding more but it needs to be tuned properly to work effectively. At the small wavelengths WiFi uses it would take much of a change to throw it completely off.
Here's an idea, perhaps better than your twist ties dangling out of the phone..
my suggestion involves running the tie twist up the inside of the phone beside the screen, not outside.
only one way to find out
I'll give it a try when my new housing arrives in a few weeks!
My HTC one started randomly disconnecting from my car kit, I put it down to the car kit being old but then I bought a sony ericsson MW600 and I find if I put my phone on the opposite side of my body, (ie in my pocket) the connection drops. Turns out the bluetooth cant connect when my body is in the way. Now seeing as my body isnt made of lead, im assuming the phones got a fault.
Has anyone else had this issue. Is there any fix out there or am I looking at a service job?
edit : never mind, found a thread elsewhere that recommended switching off wifi.... and what do you know... it works.

I have never had an issue with the BT. Wifi should not affect BT at all. My handset starts to connect to my wifes car when she comes around the corning towards our house. This is about 35 feet through a wall and I have left my phone on the couch and walked out to my driveway shutting the door behind me on a BT headset. This phone has the best BT range I have ever used and I never turn Wifi off.
WiFi and BT don't play nice together. Both 2.4ghz. Not new by any means, have had the same issue on Inspire 4g, One XL and One. Having both in use simultaneously reduces range.

Alternatively, use WiFi only on the 5ghz band. No BT interference
Hello to all...
Just wan't to solve some issue with USB dab+ signal.
I bought Dab+ usb dongle (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32861687291.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef18023f5v55) and now is connected to my multimedia device (ALPS FF5000 / 8227L chipset) in car (Peugeot 308 mk1 2011y). Installed an app called DAB Z for running DAB+ radio.
Supposedly, the signal is stronger and good when used without lights on the car, but when you turn on the lights, the signal simply disappears or is zero.
I noticed this when I started the car radio without the engine running. When I turn on the car and the lights (both the car radio and its lights come on - which means it draws energy from the battery and may take extra power to power the usb ports where the usb dongle is) the signal is simply lost. How do I solve this, when I turn on the lights so the signal doesn't go away, does anyone know?
Thanks to everyone in advance for your help!
Best regards!
Those DAB+ antennas are garbage. Buy proper antenna, but only antenna, and keep this usb dongle. Those glass mounted antennas only works in really great conditions.

Yes I noticed , I bought another one better signal is stronger, but I noticed also that problem was in led lights installed in car. They cause interference of antenna if no resistors installed with led bulbs. I removed them and put origin al H7 bulbs and now signal is great. But I'm in to solve that problem with lights and antennas. Have you come across this problem ?
Hm. I don't remember anymore. I also think I had some problems when I turned on ignition in my car. But I never researched, if the issue was led lights or anything else. I just bought better antena, that I mounted on the roof, and since then, I don't have any problems with signal anymore. I can listen to DAB+ radio in most remote areas possible. I also noticed that if I put this better antenna inside the car, signal drops instantly. So I have to put it on the roof.

I have bought 3 in 1 antenna amplifier . Dab+ and Fm. It strenghten signal significally. I resolved this problem but still, problem remains with led lights as they don't have any resistors and cause interference with antenna.
