Brute force and ignorance is not (always) the best solution. Opened the phone, on top side of the board is the gps/wifi/bt antenna connection and the flash-led connection. The board-side of the flash connection has 2 flat plates (up-right) that correspond to 2 connectors on the internal cover. Now, the gps/wifi/bt board side (up-left) has 1 flat surface and 2 connectors. The 2 connectors correspond to a wide flat surface on the internal cover, where the antenna is allocated. There is no connector on the cover that would correspond to the flat surface of the board. So now the question is, should there be something more on the cover? Searched, with no results, for analogous photos of phones. I closed the phone, and I tried the gps inserting a short piece of wire that hopefully would make contact with the free flat connection on the board. No change on the signal quality of BT or WiFi, but nothing changed with the GPS reception.
I think I'll give up, enough time spent on a mentally challenged phone.
