Guest micropathic Posted September 16, 2003 Report Posted September 16, 2003 Does anyone know where the internal antenna is located on the SPV? I think that with some cellphones there are particular prongs behind the battery that represent the location of phone's antenna. -Thanks
Guest hk Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 It should sit behind that little rubber seal on the back of the phone, well close to that anyway, thats there so you can plug an amplified antenna in, a nice high gain job. *gets the urge to build another pringles can just from talking about antennas*
Guest James Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 thats correct its behind the top rear cover... Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest micropathic Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 The reason I was really asking was because I was thinking of purchasing an antenna booster (friend got one for his nokia and said it helped). I realize there is an external port, but what about internally. On his phone there are certain prongs he has to place the "booster" device on to make it work. I was mainly just trying to figure out where this would be on the SPV. Maybe if there was a full manual (not just average user's manual) on the SPV it would be more easily figured out. I tried searching the fcc's website for htc canary documentation, but what I found was what looked like an appendix for a more detailed document that could document that could possibly contain this information. If anyone knows of such a document and would be willing to post a link, it would be greatly appreciated. -Thanks!
Guest hk Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 Ah nice nice, sitting outside with my booster antenna atm ;) nice lappy, shiny lappy :D
Guest simonbratt99 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 i thought that rubber bit was to stop the phone slipping off the toilet cicsten
Guest micropathic Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Ok, well maybe someone knows where I can get an external antenna? -Thanks
Guest fraser Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Is it one of the boosters that don't actually hook up to the antenna? There are mixed reports on whether these actually work, I'd look into it before parting with any cash if I were you.
Guest hk Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 There are antennas you can get hold of anm sure, they would be proper RF shielded kinda jobs, you'd have to look into the range of the antenna, and wether or not it would be directional (pointless for a mobile imo) or omnidirectional... I doubt your going to get much performance boost from an extra antenna/booster antenna.
