How can I improve my cellphone signal at home?

Across the street it's great signal strength but my side of the street is heavily wooded and 1 bar is lucky. I can never use the phone held to my head I always have to put it on speaker and I literally know where to stand so the call isn't dropped. There has to be some way to get better coverage on my property without standing at the mailbox. Is there an app or way I can hand the call off to VOIP on my ISP wireless? It's bad enough I am considering stepping back in time and getting an actual land line phone again.

    clay282 Wesurely don't want you to have to stand at the mailbox in order to make a phone call. We do sell a network extender that works along with your highspeed or satellite internet service to boost call quality indoors. Before we provide you with a network extender, a network ticket needs to be filed with our technical support team. Have you had a ticket filed, yet? Check out more details about the extender: http://vz.to/IHRT6h

  • How can I improve my phone signal most of the time I have no service

    How can I improve my signal - my old android phone had a brilliant signal however more often than not I have no signal on the iphone

    Like Peter said, attitude doesn't help, we need all the information possible to construct a picture of whats going on. Plus, the number of people here to help that are from the UK is limited, so chill out, drink some tea, have a scone and then lets talk
    Anyways, since you're in Europe, are you using a provider that uses EE's towers? or EE themselves?
    I ask because some MVNO providers are only licensed to use one spectrum. I know this because of the provider 3/Three. Coming from a stay Austria, I can use any 3 partner network but only on 3G, not LTE, 4G, or GSM.
    But since it's a service issue, talk to your provider accordingly. Ask them what frequency bands are coming from the tower you're nearest to, or you can check it out yourself with the Field Test Mode.

  • I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

    I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

    Other suggestions, and more info about the nature of the problem, may be in this Apple tech note.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
    I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
    Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device.

  • How can I improve the stability of itunes64bit 8.0.2 on my Vista system?

    Vista Home Premium: iTunes64bit: application crashes after adding album photos and then changing views (list, Album, split) or clicking on different playlists and back to the entire music library.
    The library has 42,000 items (mostly music) so it is quite large. At launch it takes a long time for itunes to load and display. There is no user cues telling me it is running. It simply displays after 60 or more seconds.
    Then I start working in the library, pasting pictures to multiple items, modifying album titles.
    After doing a few management tasks on my music items and navigating back and forth between the music library and playlist (changing views), the application stop being responsive and according to the log, the app just plainly crashes.
    Sometimes I can restart successfully but most of the times, I need to stop the itunes service or log-out before I can restart it successfully.
    I am using itunes64bit 8.0.2
    I am running it on a machine equipped with 4GB of ram and the library lives on a 500GB external hard drive plugged-in through USB 2.0.

  • How can you post comments during signal aquisition?

    How can you post comments during signal aquisition? For example, while acquiring your signal, you want to post a comment which the temperature reads at "30 seconds" from your relative start time (t=34 sec into recording)
    I have the LE package where events, alarms, etc cannot be used. Are there other ways that the user can mark an "event" during recording?

    Hey hkim,
    If you know how long it will be before you want a message to pop up you can simply include a sequence structure and in the first sequence have a wait time of your desired length and have the message pop up and display in the second sequence frame.

  • How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD

    How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

    What resolution are you using?  If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported.  You need Blue ray for HD.

  • How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

    My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously.  I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long.  I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

    Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
    Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
    Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

  • How Can we improve the report performance..?

    Hi exports,
    I am learning the Business Objects XIR2, Please let me know How Can we improve the report performance..?
    Please give the answer in detailed way.

    First find out why your report is performing slowly. Then fix it.
    That sounds silly, but there's really no single-path process for improving report performance. You might find issues with the report. With the network. With the universe. With the database. With the database design. With the query definition. With report variables. With the ETL. Once you figure out where the problem is, then you start fixing it. Fixing one problem may very well reveal another. I spent two years working on a project where we touched every single aspect of reporting (from data collection through ETL and all the way to report delivery) at some point or another.
    I feel like your question is a bit broad (meaning too generic) to address as you have phrased it. Even some of the suggestions already given...
    Array fetch size - this determines the number of rows fetched at a single pass. You really don't need to modify this unless your network is giving issues. I have seen folks suggest setting this to one (which results in a lot of network requests) or 500 (which results in fewer requests but they're much MUCH larger). Does either improve performance? They might, or they might make it worse. Without understanding how your network traffic is managed it's hard to say.
    Shortcut joins? Sure, they can help, as long as they are appropriate. [Many times they are not.|http://www.dagira.com/2010/05/27/everything-about-shortcut-joins/]
    And I could go on and on. The bottom line is that performance tuning doesn't typically fall into a "cookie cutter" approach. It would be better to have a specific question.

  • How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

    how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

    Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
    Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
    Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good.
