Any way to boost mobile coverage in weak area? Android

I go to a place in the Colorado mountains right on the edge of Verizon coverage.  I used to get consistent mobile connectiviity, but now sometimes I don't.  It shows one bar, but calls or texts may or may not go though.  Does anyone know of anything I can do with my phone itself to increase the likihood of successful phone coverage?  I have a Samsung Stratosphere.

    Hey there,  userx! Thanks for sharing your service concerns. We want to be there to support you, too! I don't know of a way to boost service on the device itself, as it's designed on a fundamental level to capture the strongest signal available. I don't know what this place in Colorado may be, but I may have another suggestion. If this place is a residence with high speed/broadband internet, you may also consider a Network Extender: http://vz.to/IHRT6h. My father loves his!

  • Any way to boost audio input when recording?

    Hi; I have been recording speech interviews with Audio-Technica mics on a ProTools set-up and they've sounded great.
    I've recently tried recording using the mics in Garageband using a M-Audio Mobile Pre USB, but the audio levels are always too low unless the subject is an inch or two from the mic, which isn't the best way to get quality audio.
    Is there any way to boost the audio input when recording in GB or any other tricks people know of?
    thx, Charlie

    I'm actually having the same problem, except I'm recording straight into the computer (no interface).
    I tried using an MBox, but the computer won't even recognize it...(if anyone's got suggestions for why that is, I'll gladly take them...).
    My main question is the same as Charles's, however - how come the input level is so soft when recording using the "Built-In Input" (where I can use a mic, and have mobility) as opposed to the "Built-In Microphone"?

  • Is there any way to boost a signal.

    The television signal to each unit gets lost every hour for about 5 minutes, and the tech can't come back for 5 days according to the 800-Comcast. Is there any way to boost the signal in the mean time?

  • Any way to boost signal?

    I just got my new mac pro set up with wireless keyboard and mouse. My excitement was diminished soon when my mouse dragging was very hindered. I searched the forums, and found out that the problem was caused by my steel desk- the computer is under it. (the only place for it). Is there any way of boosting or re-routing the signal. Again, I have no where else to put the computer, and would like to be able to use the wireless mouse.
    Thanks

    If you're using the external D-link adapter, all that's necessary is to obtain a USB extension cable and put the adapter closer to the mouse.
    If you have the internal BT, you might wish to investigate to see if the D-link will work for you. The adapter isn't very expensive (roughly $50) but it's in the type of bubble-pack that requires blasting caps to open. Make certain that the retailer will allow you to return an opened package in case it doesn't work.

    If you gave some information on what network equipment you are using (make, model, version) and where you are experiencing signal problems it would help in giving advice.

    If you are one of the unlucky ones, your wires inside may not be connected correctly to the right terminal. There are many threads about whether one uses the wire labeled BT or #1 to connect to the Bluetooth module. You may want to test by using your mouse at the same level as your Mac Pro, some distance away from your steel desk. My BT Mighty Mouse is over 10 feet away, and it is discovered immediately by the MP. If you don't have that kind of range using direct line-of-sight, your wires may be mislabeled inside the MP.

    Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

  • Is there ANY way to send something through Bluetooth to an android phone?

    Is there ANY way to send something through Bluetooth to an android phone?

    I think I sorted it out:
    On your Mac, go to the Bluetooth preferences panel after pairing your (your android phone) to the Mac.
    Select (your android phone) in the left-hand menu, then use the little cog to pull down a list of options.
    Select "Edit serial ports..."
    Click the '+' icon, and in the Port Settings section, select OBEX Object Push.
    Protocol should be automatically set to RS-232. Click "apply" (and probably "require pairing" to be nice n secure) et voila!!
    so far, so good

  • Any way to recover deleted iphoto pictures or are they anywhere stil on my mac?

    any way to recover deleted iphoto pictures or are they anywhere stil on my mac?

    When you delete anything it's not gone. The OS marks the space it occupies as available for overwriting, but until that overwriting occurs it can be recovered. But... the software used to recover is expensive. For instance 
    File Salvage

  • My tablet was stolen on 9 -18 2013 is there any way we can track it possibly through an android app

    hi my tablet was stolen on 9/18 2013. is there any way i can track it

    bigjoe1370,
    Sorry for your loss.  Basically when it comes to stolen / lost units what we can do is flag your unit as stolen.  If you file a police report with the local authorities, you can then call sony technical support, fax in the police report and we will log your unit stolen in our file.  If someone happened to send it in for service etc we can recover it that way.

  • Is there any way to determine what device text messages are sent from? Do free text messaging apps relate to the apple ID, or the iPod?

    My son had a friend give him his apple ID username and password, and downloaded a texting app. Now, some text messages were sent, and they are both denying it.  Is there any way to know if the text messages came from my son's iPod? The app and texts are deleted, so I can't look at a history to see who typed them.

    I could not find anything one the developer's upport page. Contact the developer and ask

  • I have 2 computers, an Iphone 3gs and an IPad, is there any way to sync all devices so they are the same?

    I'm sure I asked this question before.  How can one sync their ipad, iphone with more than one computer.  I spend 6 mth in Canada and 6 months in the states and don't really want to haul around a desktop computer.  Any ideas?

    Mmm... Let's say the way that the devices in the US are the way you want them to be. Now you want to sync the device to a computer in Canada. This is the hard or easy part depending how you look at it. Yes, you can sync and make a backup for the devices to the computer in Canada. But you will lose the photos, music, and videos that you have in iTunes in the States. What you will need to do is copy the folder for those items onto a flash drive and place that folder in ITunes Canadian computer. Also you won't be able to use the app store accounts from on country to another.
    I'm sure there has to be an easier  way to do this and I hope someone will chime in. I'm just thinking off the top of my head on how to do this...

  • Is there any way to verify that your installed plugins are up to date without using the Plugincheck page via Tools/AddOns/Plugins/Find Updates ?

    I installed Firefox 3.6.13 on a new computer and updated the plugins via the Plugincheck page. Now when I visit the Plugincheck page, it says "No plugins detected" although several plugins are installed as indicated in the Addons dialog box and About:Plugins page. The Plugincheck page used to show all the installed plugins and flag them as either up to date, out of date, or unable to detect the version.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
