A weak mobile signal is a common problem many users face, regardless of their provider or mobile model. Especially in today’s digital age, weak signal can cause many troubles, from missing important information in a professional call, to failing to communicate in an emergency call.
What can you do to improve your mobile signal?
Follow the tips below and see a noticeable difference!
- Locate the built-in signal receiving and broadcasting antenna on your smartphone. Avoid covering it with your hand when holding the phone to talk so as not to interfere with the signal transmission.
- Try to be closer to a window or balcony when you’re talking as the signal is stronger in places where it doesn’t encounter obstacles.
- Restarting is also a solution in this case! Often, the mobile phone picks up a signal from an antenna which many devices are connected to or from a distant cell. With a simple restart, the mobile phone is likely to manage to connect to a closer cell.
- Ensure your mobile has sufficient battery. As it runs out, the battery-saving application is activated which in turn affects the detection of signal transmitters and activation of internal filters to improve the signal.
- If the mobile signal remains weak, choose the compatible GSM network instead of 3G. The reason being that most devices prioritize the CDMA network (3G) and thus it often ends up being weak.
The above simple steps will significantly improve the signal strength on your mobile. If despite all this, it continues not to emit at a satisfactory level, there may be a fault with the device.
