I want Cellular radio external antenna, where to get one

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

External antenna for car-use?

Hi,
the S730 has no connector for an external antenna (or is the signal available in the multi-usb??).
Could be a wireless gsm-antenna that some vendors offer useful or is that nonsense?
Its said that the antenna takes the in-car signal and sends it to the outside and vice versa. Sounds strange to me.
I found this schema:

A1 seems to be a connector for antenna.
By my opinion A1 is used as FM antenna for radio (for HTC models content FM radio), it can not work as GSM antenna, but you can try to use and delaborate some connector from original head speakers.
Please, study here, no chance to buy 11pin USB connector for home "bastling"

That is next wrong thing by Wings - no any GSM antenna connector.

wifi antenna?

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

Wifi antenna hack? Could this work?

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!
