Alright. My cellphone antenna literally just broke off...and if i tape it back on...it ruins its already horrible signal. I know there are some technical geniuses here who probably know how i can make an even bettr antenna out of something... Anyone know any ways? I searched online and I kept on getting completely irrelivent stuff to my question... Anyone know how i can make a cell phone antenna that will work decent if not great?

Is the socket where the screw goes still intact?
If not, take it to your nearest cellphone place and talk to them...when the screen of mine broke, I took it back to the place where I bought it and they replaced it with a used part and charged me $5!

I would try soldering it back on and putting some eletrical tape around the break spot.
