Wilson Electronics Sleek Boosting HTC EVO 4G Signal Considerably!

[friscoway415]

how about 4g signal?

[iamdasht19]

@friscoway415 at this time 4g wasnt anywhere but with sprint and on the evo exclusively. im pretty sure that they are making one for 4g but the sleek doesnt boost 4g signal. you can follow wilson electronics on twitter and ask them and they should be able to give you more insight on the topic

Thanks for the vid!

How does the audio quality compare (3+bars in a city center vs. 3+ bars in a weak signal area using the Sleek)?

[iamdasht19]

@senorgringolingo imo exactly the same, this isnt like a quick charge where it will peak so you can boot up the phone from off. this just doesnt peak your signal the sleek is actually receiving that strength. because of that there wont be a change in the quality because the signal strength is just that, the same.

3G signal! not 4G.

[iamdasht19]

@tzphotosdotcom i never said 4g..... the phone is named the evo 4g and its boosting the evo 4g's signal... i didnt say it boosted the 4g signal and even repeated that in the video that it only boosts the 3g signal

@iamdasht19 Got U... Now if only they would release the 4G LTE version. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Thunderbolt or Bionic and it would be nice to have this work with the 700mhz LTE signal.

Try putting your HTC EVO in the wilson sleek upside down....went from a 8db gain right side up to a 30db gain upside down in the wilson.

[iamdasht19]

@Navyguy0023 dont get such a drastic change but i do get a little bit of a change.... in the evo i believe the antenna is in the bottom so that would make sense.

[TheGrimacedface]

video doesn't show you boosting the 4G signal?

[iamdasht19]

@TheGrimacedface right, it doesnt work with 4g. this unit was made shortly before 4g was released.

It was your video that prompted me to purchase one... thank you. ALSO, if I might recommend getting the MINI usb to MICRO usb charger adapter. Plug it in to the side of the Wilson Sleek (MINI) and connect it to the EVO (MICRO). I purchased on line for $12/shipped. Convenient, Eliminates another charger which helps clean up all the wires. Thanks Again!

[iamdasht19]

@thebearof good call and glad that this has helped you! well worth the cash for the signal booster and the nice holster that it does give you!

[JoeRnCT]

@thebearof Did you get an actual cable with a Mini on one end and a Micro on the other? Or is it a connector. Where did you get it from? Thanks.

[thebearof]

@JoeRnCT alternative wireless DOT com .search for Wilson Sleek microUSB to miniUSB charging adapter. best money you'll spend

[JoeRnCT]

@thebearof Thank you. I had been to their site before when looking at the Wilson amp/repeater systems. I never thought to check them for the cable.

[iamdasht19]

@thebearof you can also get on amazon and other places i have linked below the video... below the video links are thebest proces that i have found myself.

[iamdasht19]

@JoeRnCT a cable for what?? dont know what your referring to by cable.... are you talking the power source to the cigarette lighter or the antenna itself... neither of them are usb to usb

[ccracker79]

Thanks I mush have one!

[iamdasht19]

@ccracker79 no problem, and i use mine all the time! even got the home kit, check out my other video on the wilson sleek to see how it works inside...

[ccracker79]

is it a hands free device too? Cause i am not leaning down to the holster to talk into the phone. so to talk on the phone i bring the holster to my head too?

[iamdasht19]

@ccracker79 yes does allow for speaker phone which works great for me, you can also slide the cradle off of the holster very easily and one handed and you can still talk on it like that if you dont want to you speaker phone. just make sure you leave a little extra wire free from being tucked so you can do so. i have done it a couple times both in house as well as in the vehicle.

[michiganskeletor669]

WHERE CAN I FIND ONE

[iamdasht19]

@michiganskeletor669 look in the link located in the description below the video

[weiss27md]

Are there any other antennas that will hook up to the Sleek?

[iamdasht19]

@weiss27md no there is only one that will allow it to fir to the bottom of the base.

[SaharaBryant]

Does the Sleek boost 4g signals for the Evo too? Or is it only compatible with 3g signals?

[iamdasht19]

@SaharaBryant no it doesnt boost 4g unfortunately since not wide enough of a market yet for the technology to be out there when this was manufactured. (as well as the difference between 4g aka wimax and LTE which tmobile and ATT will be having and do have in some areas for t-mobile.) but it will boost everything else including iden which is nextel devices!
