I would like to know how to hook up an external cellular antenna even if it means using micro soldering tips to link up to a spring or test port. I have done this in the past. How can this be done ? The schematics are rather weak as to this layout.
I am troubled and insulted there is no way to hook up external cellular antenna. I believe this is because the engineers probably live in the city and don’t realize that more than 50% of people are in rural areas with little to no coverage and use amplifiers and external antennas on their cars and trucks.
I am also concerned that the latest version of phone is starting to lean more toward the iPhone closed format and features are being lost. Do others feel this way
Not sure why one would be outright insulted. But yes Fairphone tries to keep in mind a lot of things – making phones for the outback is certainly/unfortunately not one of them. Either way I too would be interested in getting my hands on premium schematics.
Where were you @scott_tighe getting yours from and have you contacted FP support yet?
Since you are insulted i am wondering what smartphones you used over the years that had the external antenna feature and if any of them came from a major brand.
Or do you mean all engineers insulted you.
