Signal Booster for your Android device..

I Kid you not, but since I installed this application, my 3G/4G and WiFi connections have been much better than before. The application is free on "Google Play."

Is this for real? How does it work?
It's easy.. just install the app...and let it do its thing.
My internet doesnt work after trying this, will have to restore now. :mad:
Sorry to hear that. Try uninstall/reinstall the application. Keep in mind that this application will only "boost" the network connection you "already" have.

It works great for me. :)

Tried that, made no difference and there is no undo option, in fact it completely killed my network connection, data and calls.

Doing a restore now, unless you have a backup i'd recommend people avoid this app.

Wow, you are the only person that I've read who had a bad experience (like that) with this application. What kind of device do you have? Just like any other applications or modifications; i.e. "rooting" there are always a "disclaimer" posted that you should read before attempting installation. Nonetheless, I'm sorry if that had happend to your device. This application has gotten a lot of positive feedback. I guess not all devices will see the awesome outcome of such an incredible application. I'm using an EVO 3D.

How would this actually work other than tweaking the number of bars that show up on your phone?
I'm not a developer, so I wouldn't have the answer to that. However, you can send an email to the dev - I'm sure he'll explain this to you.

P.s. I ask myself the same thing about rooting, but results show that it does what it says. :)
It's obvious that this app might not work well with all devices.
 
Cool animation, that's about it. Running speed tests on my Optimus-V (average of 5 tests in a row):

Before install:
1145 down - 326 up - 210 lat
After running Signal Booster:
978 down - 178 up - 241 lat

Just a waste of memory IMO. Surprised at the high rating.
 
I was using Open Signal Maps and my signal would fluctuate around my normal. Normal signal strength at work is 61% and after applying this, it would vary between 51% and 65% with occasionally climbing to 70%. The high fluctuation caused me to show another bar. It's hardly a 'must have' as it seems to do little. There would be little to no improvement in quality or speed over 4-7% increased signal.
 
You know.... Switching to Airplane mode then switching back DOES THE EXACT SAME THING. It just resets the connection which does in fact increase your speed. I do this all the time when my internet connection slows down. So does it really BOOST your speed. Theoretically yes, but it is just a gimmick.

However, I have to give the developer props for marketing on this FREE OPTION that is already on your android device.
