Howto: Directional Signal Booster (Cell Phone)

[Aint1S]

Gotcha beat for higher gains, grab your old satellite dish. Any parabolic dish will do usually and your done. Takes you from:

DL100kbps up to 1.##mbps

UL100kbps up to 1.##mbps

Use with no amps or antennas, if you do... your prl will require updating.

[nichatesVEVO]

i made one. it gave me 3 bars!

[don6119]

just like a parabolic reflector. the phone model would actually affect its effectivity. works for mine :) two thumbs up!

[boredpcguy]

This would work great with a bluetooth headset.

[bdashiz]

this is great this is the only way i can get a signal at my house and iv been using this same can for about a year. its great for iphone and i can text with it still in the can and use speaker phone when i recieve a call

[greg23842384]

is this a steel can or an aluminium one ? can this also speed up a web surf on the cell phone ?

[greg23842384]

is this a steel can or an aluminium one ?

[mariusroro]

better i boil an egg, i will get same resuls :)

[k0n3k]

my mum says "oh my scissor!"

[Burlystump]

Thanks for the idea, with a Bluetooth ear piece and a little luck this idea might make a low signal area in the home usable.

[MEGAXSTU]

4:08 LOL

[jonaqwerty]

People dont complain i, made this and it worked, at least if someone calla me i know they did and i can call them back, so dont be such assh0les, and be thankful that you are not spending like 100 dollars on a signal booster

[p18250125]

So you made me waste four minutes of my life, just to tell me it's for textimg only!!?

dumb

Fornication

Under

Consent of the

King

[ryansagbot]

lmao!

[schellman2]

So when you pick it up to make a phone call the bars go back down?

[teknogeek1300]

@schellman2 Ultimately, yes. It's really only useful for notifications, or texting.

[BIllF02]

SO... what happens when someone calls you? do you hold the can with the phone...lol maybe if I wear a tin foil hat it will work

[Haraxys]

May I call you Mac Gyver ? :D

[FredSchuck]

Now, I don't know a lot about cell phone technology, but common sense tells you that it doesn't matter there the nearest tower is. You are making this doo-hicky for a reason, and that reason is for being too far from the tower to begin with.

[xedozer]

just use a sauce pan lol easier and cheap, i borrowed your moms :D

[bandmaster17]

@xedozer u f**king idiot, don't put such comments otherwise i think u talk the same for your mom! SHIT

[dragonmaster780]

you don't need one unless you have freaking AT&T 

[Elenkhos]

You're cool can I be your friend?

[truhlikfredy]

Your primary language is not English so therefor you don't speak at all on your video? :)

[KristoferLloyd]

what does it matter where the nearest tower is? thats the only part i dont understand.

[teknogeek1300]

@KristoferLloyd So you can point it @ the tower....

[ChrispyChris3]

Setting my phone on top of a can is working a little too, is that just me getting lucky or what? Do you have to cut it up like this or will it work by laying the phone on top?

[nikbookworm]

fancy phone stand

[jwoodenknife]

fashion the can to fit the form of your phone thats all you had to say man

longest 5 minutes ever good idea though it is

[liuxianren]

It works fine for my Nokia N78! It's the simplest way since now that works for me!

[jaybo082078]

I just got a cricket txtmxgm8 a few hours ago and get shut for recption.

[katyssexysk8er]

LOL 4:08 was funny i might do this with my shitty cricket samsung u340 i got today haha

[DiarmaidGNR]

Why is he topless?.....

[ProGunNL]

4:08 loool check that

[MrYma1985]

thanks bro, this actually gave me 2 bars in my room, i was thoroughly surprised.

[arthurGrahamCA]

wow.... really... didn't think it would be so simple... im trying this tomorrow. Thks.

[skylinmegas9290]

4.03 ...epic X)

[msargent7]

that shit was funny, i will try it!

[xjonix]

well my bars didnt increase A LOT but its definitely picking up signal and i can text now on my piece of shit Nokia. Thank you dear.. you're my new best friend ;o)

[mattdblackhat]

action speaks more than words. i like the style of this guy. compared to other guys here posting how-tos talking too much beating around the bush which is very irritating and the catch is missing. thanks for posting and post some more how to's

[THRILLINGSTATIC1234]

will a soda can work or does it have to be that kind of can??

[teknogeek1300]

As long as it is as tall or taller then your phone, it will work.

[CanadaIndieFilm]

Cool. This is a good idea on a long trip in an emergency. You can even make it out of the stuff people throw out onto the highway.

[Leono413]

What if you have a flip phone? Do you measure the height of the can when it's folded or open?

[teknogeek1300]

Yeh, the antennas are usually in the flip part.

[daleindaclub]

wow tks this works good went from a 1-2 signal bars to 4-5

[stultz10]

nice shirt! i have one just like it

[eliquichi3]

3:54... wtf? why did he move it like that

[teknogeek1300]

To show that the phone won't stay in. That's why you need to dent the bottom in like I show.

[eliquichi3]

oh ok cool nice video

[lazyboy413]

dude i looked at like 10 others and they all needed like high tec. stuff and then i looked at this one and i was like i will try it and i did and i get 2-3 more bars!...thanks for showing me something easy and something that works

[crazyweirdos191821]

this is like the only vid witout high tech stuff! and i can understand it! thx! but where do you point the can

[teknogeek1300]

You point it towards the nearest cell phone tower.

[ixos88]

i have tried it on my xda orbit but in different way. i just cut the can that can fit underneath the battery and just place that piece under the battery. it seems working although it just a little bit.
