[Q] Anyone used Signal Boosting Apps in Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am wondering if anyone has used any of the signal boosting applications (e.g Network Booster or SignalBooster) on the Android Market and, if so, what is your impression of them? Do they work?

I'm not sure how software can magically fix physical limitations such as a low signal. Seems just as fake as those programs that say they increase internet speed.

signal booster, solar charger, battery improver, internet speed booster - all are scams

Program to force network operator?

I have this problem that my galaxy s won't always connect back to the 3g network when it becomes available again.
Right now I have to go into settings and there search for available networks and click on the right one and connect to it.
Shouldnt there be an app somewhere or script that could do this from from the desktop, by widget or icon, to force-connect to the network with id '24005' ?
No problem if it requires root, but do you guys know if this is possible at all?
I too would love to be able to switch network operators with a simple app or script.
An automatic switch based on location would be very useful.

[Q] Issue with the H/3G in the bar

Hi all, my best wishes.
I have a Huawei UM840 with HSDPA (is equivalent to Huawei U8220), with my mobile operator HSDPA is available where I live, always appears the 'H' in the bar of my phone.
I installed several custom ROMs and appears in all the "H".
Yesterday I installed a ROM and now only shows "3G".
I guess it's an adjustment inside the ROM, Can I change that?
Thanks for your opinions.

[Q] Connect two Android phones to share voice and data

Hey guys, I'm looking for a solution to connect one android phone to another over bluetooth to share voice and maybe data service. What I want to do is use my old Dell Streak as a GPS/media player in my car without having service to it. I would like it to connect to my current phone so I can make call through it, like a headunit with hands free bluetooth calling. I'm not so much worried about data, though it would be a plus but I don't think Android supports connecting to ad-hoc networks. I can't seem to find any app that supports this, and I'm not seeing anywhere on the Android system where this is possible. I haven't owned a car stereo that supports bluetooth calling so I'm not sure what to look for. If anyone has tried this and could help me out it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Nevermind. I found a thread on here with a group actively looking for a solution to this. Thread can be deleted.
I guess a simpler way to put it is to say I want to make the phone in the car act as a handfree device for my phone with service, which would be in my pocket. I did find a couple threads which were just dead ends when searching with those terms. Does anyone know if the bluetooth api supports the phone acting as a device? I see that might be an issue I have come across in my searching so far.

[Q] Force CDMA instead of LTE when on Wifi?

Would it make sense to save battery to drop to 3G(CDMA) from 4G(LTE) when on a reasonable strong wifi connection?
If it does, is there an app or toggle that can make that happen automatically?

I dont know what phone you are on, but doesn't Android usually cut Mobile Data automatically when connected to a wifi?
On my Galaxy S2, it just cuts off mobile data when im connected to wifi, and resumes mobile data when i cut wifi. So theres no point in needing an app or anything

Netword coverage monitor application exists?

Hey guys,
I recently switched to fulltime android phone again after 1 years of absence.
However, the country where i live have 3 different networks with 3g.
I am suspecting that the one i am on, does not really have good 3g coverage, or is heavily used.
I get NO DATA or 2G connection a whole lot and im living in the "city".
I've been looking at Google Play for an application that ONLY monitors the connectivity.
I would like to know how much of the on time i am on NO DATA, 2G COVERAGE or 3G COVERAGE (wifi excluded or included).
The apps that exists from what i found only shows "MOBILE" or "WIFI" Usage.
Such apps showing amount of gigabyte downloaded on each won't help me much as if i am on 2G, i won't be able to download much..
If anyone knows of such an app (speedtest would be perfect if they could show this somehow and provide data on their netindex.com site).
Again, all i need to know is the amount of time i am on 2g data, 3g data, no data.
With that i will test my current sim for a week, get the other 2 sims for another 2 weeks, and based on the outcome of the statistics, chose which one to keep.
Let me know!
