Touch with Amplifier

scuccia · #1 (**permalink**) 06-03-2008, 09:48 AM

Has anyone used an HTC Touch with an amplifier? I've now gone through two HTC Touch's. Every time I hook it up, afterwards I cannot get signal unless hooked up to the amplifier. Its like it can't switch back to the internal antenna. I've used it with my LG Glimmer and also my UM150 and it doesn't do anything to them.

Please, if someone knows a trick to using an amplifier with the Touch please let me know.

Nobody here has used a Touch with an external antenna or an amplifier?

ampiflier = external speaker? ya i do! to blast music at the beach or in the toilet ! hehe.

and i guess it does not affect my touch?

im gussing that ur ampliflier is not magneticaly shielded therefore the electro-magnetic waves coming from the speaker is interferring with your connection.

if so, you should go change your amplifier or put a piece of iron (only iron)(half the size of your touch) on top of the amplifier (if there is 2 sides) put on both sides. in that way, the waves will go through the iron and continue routing through the iron and your phones signal would get better.

good to know, i've been thinking about getting one for my mogul.
also wilson electronics has a universal pad style adapter as well as a cradle (with pad inside), if you've actually got the amp then they should work for you. I really wanted the cradle (ebay had one for $25), but an email to wilson confirmed that my mogul would not fit sideways (landscape), but the touch should be right at home.

I think so too, and if you are pluging that into that little jack on the back of the phone you need to be super careful or you break one of the contacts off from the board. - This also breaks the connection to the internal antenna, hence the problem you are having. This was problem with the 6700 as well.
