Is That a WiFi Antenna on your Phone!?

[AaronP]

Yes, Yes it is! Early in the week I dropped my phone and some how managed to damage the internal antenna. Well I am happy to report that I did find and purchase a replacement BUT I had to wait a week before I received it and frankly I couldn't be without my phone for a whole week, so I took matters into my own hands.


Building Materials:
Silver Based Solder (Boy do I miss Lead Based Solder)
Sewing Needle with Tip cut off
Unused Wifi Antenna.

And the best part, Pics:






The sad part is I actually get BETTER signal now than I did before. The picture of the signal was taken in my room which I usually don't get more than 1 bar!!!

unfortunately you have to anymore. neutered phones stink! heck some companies even lock the max volume to lower than the factory.

That is entirely AWESOME! LOL! I bet its a hassle to carry around tho. Wont you be mad when your new one comes in and you get crappy reception again? Will you keep your new wifi??
