Power off your phone by holding the end call button for a few seconds, and wait for the phone's "powering off" screen. Once the phone is off, remove the battery from the phone. You will notice a little black "straw" on the left side of the battery compartment; this is the housing for the antenna. There is a little plastic nub where the housing is supposed to sit. If it is not resting in this spot, move the housing over to this spot. This should realign the antenna in the correct spot and allow it to retract. If the antenna still does not work properly, read on.
