I was thinking about trying a directional antenna to see if I could get a steady signal in the hills so I popped the back off my phone and found 2 ports. I was wondering if anyone happen to know which antenna port was for which radios.

If anyone has monekeyed around with external antennas or knows a good source for info I would love to hear about it especially if it pertains to the esteem.

I am also curious if anyone has re-tasked any random old cell phone to use like a walky talky.
 
hey did you ever figure out why there were 2 ports? been wanting to try out a antenna but not really sure which port to use.

yea I meant plug to fit em. My guess is one is for CDMA and the other LTE. My external antenna from my war driving days wont fit em. ;)
 
i cant find any info on this. at all. lol i found that someone might think one is for gps? do you know what type of port it is? like whats it called?
 
Take a photo and show us cause someone may see the photo and tell us by the code name if its a usable one . This maybe like the Samsung literay it has a phone antenna and the tv has a antenna . Yes one for phone data etc and the other is to get the clear tv picture
 
both ports are the same
