Hi Matt,

I had the same problem as you decribe. After i connect a external GSM (phone) antenna
at the backside of my device i can not received any GSM (phone) signal.
Display shows that the device is still searching for a GSM-signal.
So i think that this is a problem which often happen by this type of device.
Also the GPS is not working because the device could not find any satelites.
It still searching for satelites, just the same as the GSM-signal.
So i think that something has broken, a contact from the internal antenna or maybe a shortcut in the circuits when we plugged the external antenna.
I have send the device to HTC and they did not repair it but they give me a another new device, only the inside parts are new not the outside case.

Hope that you could do something with this info.

Kind regards
Davidoff

I had this problem without pluging in an external antenna

try going to comms manager and click the phone icon to turn off the phone radio, then turn off the phone with the power switch...

Now turn on you phone again... this should turn the phone radio back on and it should work...
