| 11:56.49 | JiiKoo | https://share.riseup.net/#7jtAfjVZBSdnvhLlyIXX2g Is this something to do with the GSM antenna? |
| 11:58.32 | JiiKoo | According to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Hardware#GSM.2FGPRS_2 it probably is the GSM/GPRS antenna jack. |
| 12:01.51 | JiiKoo | So basically one does not need to put the FreeRunner in a faraday cage to block signals; one can just plug out that part? |
| 12:04.07 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: depending on conditions like cell station proximity it can work even without antenna. |
| 12:04.33 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: but you can power off the GSM part physically by issuing a simple command. |
| 12:04.54 | PaulFertser | You can check schematics if you do not trust it yet :) |
| 12:05.17 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: and no, that connector on the photo you showed is GPS antenna connected to main PCB. |
| 12:05.21 | PaulFertser | Nothing to do with GSM. |
| 12:06.30 | JiiKoo | Ah, right |
| 12:09.05 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: "om gsm power 0" or something like that. Reliably powers off all GSM. |

| 12:14.35 | JiiKoo | Then I see where the GSM jack is, at the bottom right corner of the device. |
| 12:15.55 | JiiKoo | But what is this exposed rectangle, in the bottom of the picture I linked? |
| 12:20.24 | *** join/#openmoko \` (~wd@wd.eblan.it) |
| 12:30.49 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: part of GSM antenna |
| 12:35.37 | JiiKoo | Thank you for your answers |
| 12:36.13 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: eh, sorry, GPS! |
| 12:36.30 | PaulFertser | GSM antenna is in the bottom of the device, and that part you showed is the top. |
| 12:36.32 | JiiKoo | Oh, okay |
| 12:36.46 | JiiKoo | Yep |

| 13:39.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | the GSM antenna jack is under that deep hole |
| 13:40.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | you can connect it with a long adapter |
| 13:40.37 | DocScrutinizer05 | wonders where his adapter gone |
| 13:59.39 | PaulFertser | DocScrutinizer05: but he wants to disconnect antenna hoping it will prevent GSM from working :) |
| 14:00.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | won't fly |
| 14:00.40 | PaulFertser | Yep |
| 14:01.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | A) you need to remove antenna, there is no plug. B) as you said, it might even work completely without antenna. However plugging in an adapter to the GSM test jack should reliably stop this |
| 14:01.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | though C) it's futile effort since rather shut down calypso |
| 14:02.26 | PaulFertser | JiiKoo: ^^^ what Doc says |
| 14:04.18 | DocScrutinizer05 | on a funny sidenote: I wondered why my Neo had such poor reception, until I noticed it's an american version ;-) |
| 14:04.21 | JiiKoo | Allright ⺠|
| 14:05.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | of course this only happened occasionally when it had to use the allegedly unsupported band |
| 14:06.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | for an unsupported band it worked rather fine |
