Radio And Network Signal Boost?

[naveen_reloaded]

guys i am using k800i and in that i have FM radio inbuilt....i have really bad FM reception there in my place....

i am also using AIRTEL network.... which is also pretty bad...i have repeatedly complained but they are not taking any notice of it..

OK my question is how to boost radio and network signal...

is there any waqy like using wires or anything like that which can maximize my signal???

and for the network is there any device that can boost the signal which we could buy and use???? for say a 500mts radius or less ..whtever it amy be..

Ya

Wrap a thin wire around it about 3 loops

 

[naveen_reloaded]

will it increase both the signals or only radio.???

and sorry to ask u could u say how this winding around the phone with thin loop will help in better recieving of signal

 

[int86]

Will it boost network also. Just three rounds.

 

[Tech Geek]

IT will increase the radio signals for sure
Don't know about the calls. try it out

i have tried to wind the headphone cable itself...but still i am geeting a worse radio signal.
will a seperate wire should be used...and since i have also tried it...
can u tell me whether it should be taken out or placed higher???
anything techie??

if u wann better mobile network signal u can get an external antenna and connect it to your phone , but then your mobile phone will become a wired phone [ it'll cost only about 500 rupees]

or u can connect a internal signal booster to the external antenna and get excellent reception for around 3000 sq feet [ it'll cost around 16k ]

man there are soo many of them...how to select and one i viewed said i have to notify the network management it seems...

wht to do and can u select the best and cost effective booster man and can u tell me the cost of it

 

[outlaw]

this is the only indian companylink [i guess] that provides such a wireless booster , they are based in mumbai and the cost of the complete kit [ external antenna. booster, internal antenna ] costs around rs 18,000

they've got the kits starting from 18,000 rupees to around 6 lakh....

are u sure u wanna spend 18 k for signal amplification..???

if u dont wann a wireless solution u can go for an external antenna and connect it to ur fone using a cable instead of the internal repeater and booster [ it'll cost only rs 500]


check the link and mail them,the site is quite informative

 

[naveen_reloaded]

really that was good info man....but i dont think i will be able to spend that much for it.......

could u say something about the external attena\na???

how shall i use it..
i have seen loads of ads regarding the signal booster sticker in tv
wht is that man???

wht u say is right...but since airtel is theonly network which offers gprs....

bsnl is also offering but seems soo costly...

now itself i am having two sim aircel and airtel

 

[Tech Geek]

I didn't mean to tell u wrap around ur headphone wire
A normal wire abt 5-6 inches
It worked for me.

@ naveen

the stickers u've seen on t.v are useless just crap so forget about it

so the cheaper option:

1-buy a uni-directional/omi directional external antenna
2-get a external antenna adapter for your phone
3-connect the phone to the external antenna using the adapter

and if u keep the antenna somewhere outside,a place with proper signal reception then the antenna will pick up the signal so u'll be able to call/gprs...

how much will it cost

 

[outlaw]

hmm.....

the external antenna would cost 450 rupees

the fone adapter would cost 80 rupees

but finding the adapter would be hard ; if u are going for original sony adapter it will cost a few hundread rupees...



but

i've heard that bsnl is also providing unlimited gprs for 350 per month [ only for postpaid users though]

so if u are only intersted in gprs get BSNL instead

In that case from Air Tel you get what you pay for

well man use problem is not new well as far as fm is concern many solution is there but as far as network concern i dont think so any decent remedy exist

hi, i have a transcend mp3 player and has bad radio reception.

so will attaching a ferrite core(not included) to its carry strap near the player's body increase reception?

also the wire u r asking to wrap around the player-should it be naked or insulated?
