how to increase Network signal strength this video will be beneficial in case
you are having network signal issues the two most common issues that users
usually face when they have a really low signal is the phone calls get either
chopped off or you get disconnected and for some users the issue might be that
their data connection just keeps disconnecting then and now in either
case it is gonna be a really frustrating experience note that this tutorial will
not work in case there is no transmission tower near you so in case
you're in Antarctica or on a remote island this tutorial is not going to
help you get signal on your phone from nowhere now I also wanted to mention
that there are certain tutorials online that show you that you just install an
app on your phone and suddenly your signal strength will go up now these are
actually just fake apps that do not work there are two ways you can measure
signal strength on your phone one is by referring to the signal bar on
your phone and the second way is by installing an app like I have done on my
phone in case you're interested it's called signal strength and it's
available for free on the Google Play Store and basically what the app does is
that it gives you a score of your network that you are connected to and
there are some additional features as well like doing a speed test if you
want to test out your data but the interesting one is the cells and it
shows you the signal strength there as well and this one is in dBm which is the
value that you refer for your actual signal strength the first thing you can
try out to increase signal strength is by removing any kind of obstruction that
you have for the signal to get to your phone it is not possible for you to
remove walls but what you can actually try out is by removing any phone
case that you have on your phone for some users it might be a battery case as
well and you can try out if your phone case removal makes any kind of
difference on your phone the performance for the improvement in signal strength
will vary depending on what kind of material the phone case is made out of
as to what I have read usually users who have a metal case notice an improvement
in signal strength when they remove their phone case the second thing you
can try out is in your SIM card settings there is an option called preferred
network types and in case you have a newer phone you might even have 5G
option there as well but you can always try out on switching to 3G or 2G network
and see if you get any kind of signal using those technologies just make a
note that if you're trying to use data services 2G might not be the ideal
option because data services go really slow on it
my recommendation in case you are looking just for data it might be 3G or
the LTE option which is 4G so just try to switch back and forth and see which
one gives you a better signal and also the other metric would be of course
performance if you're not having any kind of voice quality issues anymore and
the other network would be the ideal option for you the third thing you
should make sure is that under mobile networks the option to automatically
select network is turned to on this can be beneficial especially if you're
traveling in a different region and your network provider has a partnership with
another service provider to provide your service in that area in case these steps
mentioned before do not work out for you what you should be looking is if your
phone actually supports the network well or not
and this step is quite easy what you need to do is search for the Network name
followed by bands on Google so in my case my network is called Telus Mobility
and I just entered in bands as well and it shows me what bands the service works
on so its band 4 band 2 band 7 and then it has the frequencies listed as
well now I know what bands the service works on and now what I'll do is I have
done another search for looking over what bands my phone works on as well so
I search in for GSM arena which is a website where I can see specifications
for my phone followed by brand off my phone and this specific model it is and
then I'm gonna click on the first link and scroll down to network and here I
can see what bands are supported by my phone and then I can compare it against
the network now I mainly rely on 3G and 4G bands but you should make sure that
the latest technology is covered hundred percent for your phone for the network
that you're using in case your phone does not support the network 100% there
are two options for you either you buy a new phone or you switch your network if
your phone supports you network 100% then the option for you might be that
you go for a signal booster and you can get one from Amazon make sure that it
works with your network very well and they do have the frequencies listed as
well and that is one way on how you can get a better signal strength on your
phone thank you for watching this video I hope you find it useful if you have
any other questions let me know through comments if you have any other
suggestion as well on how to improve signal strength let me
know have a good day bye
