indeed, this is what you were saying. Stock it has just a plastic back, the wireless charging is added latter. OK. got it. thanks. Rukbat, thanks again for this and the other response.

on second thought, based on this photo, from here www telcoantennas com au/site/patch-lead-samsung-galaxy-s5 it might be in that gray patch above the speaker (?).

Rukbat, Thanks, that helps a great deal. Looking on the web i only saw photos of the self charging back. Perfect. Chuck Young, Thanks for the photos!!!! that helps. Thanks for taking the time to post them. Sadly, i do not see the familiar black stickers covering the miniRF antenna...

I found this website: www telcoantennas com au to be very useful. If Samsung models in Australia are the same as the US it looks like samsung is taking a turn for the worse on this matter. It looks like the s5 and note 3 are a smaller miniRF connector than the older models: www...

I am bumping this unanswered request up. (Hey Original Poster, did you find an answer? did you find an alternative?) I also do not want a passive or cradle connection but need an external antenna 80% of the time. Any advice is appreciated. I am not limiting myself to Samsung models but from my...
