Hey guys, what's up? Let me know where you are in the world, and if these tricks work where you live? .. AND before you make any smart remarks, YES, I realize my phone is "old". ..But hey it works, and I've never had a reason to get a new one. .. yet. :D

4:23 jokes on you, I'm on mobile

Some quick links to a few of the materials I used: [✓] weBoost home unit 1500 sq ft: amzn.to/2clkj7f [✓] weBoost Connect 7500 sq ft: amzn.to/2c9Txji

Goddamn it, I fell for the fake buffering thing, dang it Grant 😝😅😄😅

Lol the internet connection part xD

The reception in my house is terrible so thanks for these Grant.

I wish I could like this more than once. I did however share it to all my family and friends, even some strangers. As usual you've made a wonderful video with tons of helpful info and it's professionally made :) thanks lots!

Rip to another legend this year

I got pranked TWICE by the buffering joke hahaha. Liked and favorited, that's one of the most useful videos I've ever watched!!!

Cool video, but I don't like the car part. Its like you're condoning using your phone while driving. Please don't.

Your buffering prank got me both times haha

Great video Grant, you sir are not only an asset to KZfaq... but to humanity as well... :-) Teaching things that get kids outside having fun again, instead of inside with a game controller in their hand. I commend you for that! You should write a book...

At 0:57, you say the scale is exponential. I think you meant logarithmic.

"I swear I will like this comment" You swore...

Speaking as a video training professional, it was refreshing to see a well produced AND usefully informative video. GREAT JOB!

How can anyone NOT like this guy's videos?

How to get good signal. Nr1: dont be on a mountain How to get bad signal. Nr1: stay at the mountain. You are successful! Now u kan only booty call from ur home lol

Awesome video man! I'd use these tips if I had a cellphone.... ... And i'd get a cellphone if i had friends... oh well :) Keep up the awesome vids.

Dang, got me at 4:23 and 4:26

I just moved to Alabama out on the NW region and this video and app helps a great deal. Keep up the great work.

Dial 911 it makes your phone 10000 times faster

Did anyone notcie the fake reaload screen? 4:26

4:24 who else though that it was really buffering I did. Like if you did

LOL at 4:23, 4:27. That was some brilliant editing, sir! hahahaha I am still laughing because I actually replayed it to make sure it wasn't just an amazing coincidence.

I'm early let me think of a joke Why you no take beacon from well.... Whoops wrong channel

Did you seriosly put fake buffering in the part where you were talking about slow connections?

Hello, Mr. Thompson. I think this is one of your best videos ever. I live in Taiwan, near the ocean, but I also live next to a phone company building called a "central office" (the big building kind with no windows, etc.) and there was a base station on the roof. A few years ago, some idiots put up signs saying that the phone company was bad and humans are laboratory rats, etc. I think it's back now, but "hidden". I got -95db in the house! I pass that building many times per day, but didn't know that they had rebuilt the base station in a less-obvious setup. I wish I had known this sooner. I totally understand the effort and research you put into this video. A million thanks! Ray, from Taiwan.

People cry about only having 2-3 bars but most parts of my town have none... so yah.

haha the buffering was a nice touch grant.

R.I.P

Thanks for helping us Windows phone users. Thanks.

TOTALLY buying that!!! I didn't know those existed!

Hey Grant! I love yor vids, but i was wondering if you could do a version of this video but for wifi (faster speed, downloading, etc.) because my wifi isnt very fast, but the company charges alot to upgrade!

I like how you put in loading screens during the slowing Internet speeds

I like the owl at 4:12 ! :)

so this is elaborate commercial for weboost, awesome

If you want the dbm meter to actually stay. go into field testing mode, then hold the power button until the off slide bar pops up. when it pops up let go of the power button and then press and hold the home button for about 10 seconds. The field test should force quit and then the dbm meter will be stuck on the top left.

4:27 I LEGIT JUST GOT TROLLED ~._~.

👑 King of the infommercials ℹ

grant... i remember when you had 1,000,000 subs.... i remember when you had 100,000.... you're awesome....

Anyone notice he edited in the loading thing at 4:10?

DAMMIT GRANT U GOT ME ON THE LOADING THINGY

Your loading bars during the video really made my day.

Thank you so much for all the answers that REALLY WORK!! 4 yrs later and still useful!

People still use their phones to call?

Not sure if installing stuff like that in your room is healthy...

so got me on the fake buffering!! Hilariously well done, Sir.

lol, Cell phone tower in your room, Chemotherapy Here I come... LMAO

Good video!

1 percent talking about animae 99.99 percent talking about falling for the buffering part

some good material in there as usual, thanks, my mum will be helped by the weboost stuff.

I knew this was an ad for WeBoost!

LMAO fake buffering... clever

"If you're an Android user, it's even easier!" Almost always true with actual operating system manipulation.

Your video quality is awesome

Grant your videos are life changing well done. I watch your videos every day. You are the best of the best ( better than PewDiePie he just swears ) you should have infinite subscribers!

The secret "Field Test" will not work on iPhones on IOS 9 because of the new feature which blocks the real strength of your signal. Instead of showing your real strength, it will show "Back to Phone" on the left top corner.

Android here. I got 116 dBm and I usually get 1-2 bars

Dude I love your videos they are legit awesome

this is THE video i was looking for...thanks for the tips they really helped me. P.S. : I also have a S2 and I dont wanna change it.....

Rip mad you'll never be forgetting

i no come to juutuubi to watch ads

First class helpful video. Thank you. We're in a service area with unreliable coverage. This help us diagnose our problems, and you've provided a solution. Nice!!

Thanks Grant, some of the items covered on this vid i had no idea about, they have boosted my signal a little which is great.

I though that buffering sihns where real for a second

sprint users are rejoicing

Awesome tips! just learned my phone has excellent receptions!

Crap, you are very good at what you do. Fantastic work.

could also be called 10 tips to receive more radiation lmao

omfg when you were talking about slowing your internet the video starting buffering again

Wow over 1,000,000 views in almost 2 days! Nice job, Grant!

The turning the airplane mode off for 3 secs and turning it back on actually works THANKS :D !!!

4:23-4:26 you tricked me!

OMG THE STUPID NEW UPDATE WONT LET ME SEE THE FIELD TESTING MODE!

Great tips, Lance.

Thanks for this. It made getting signal at my house way easier

I have 61 is that really good or really bad

stronger the strength higher chance of getting cancer.

Your videos are the best +Grant Thompson

Yes my friend you always got great videos

Why did the 10 die? beacause it was in the midle of 9/11

4:24 this joke sadly doesn’t work for modern KZfaq. Sad life.

Grant, you troll. 4:23 really dude? freaked me out then I realized what was happening😂

Who would dislike this guy?

Rip :====(

but it's illegal to use a phone while driving

Your awesome and your an inspiration to me and so many others 😃😃👊

Wow thanks this was very helpful

No Windows phone love? :p

That last tip is a great way of getting cancer

Very good one Grant big fan of yours

Hello I am a very big fan and I ask you to keep on making more videos :-)

I have great service everywhere because I have Verizon

Cell Signal Booster = Cancer

I found this very useful

This video is super informative

what a great idea...lets all install a mobile antenna in our living rooms. hell, lets install them next to our beds just to be sure is this video sponsored by a drug company that produces cancer medicine?

Interesting adobe commercial playing before this video haha. But this video was really cool I didnt know that there were all of these complex processes that went into the signal on my phone. I feel like an old person that just recently learned about social networking lol.

Thank you for the video especially for people like me who are new to smartphone technology but still learning. Also when i was testing networks, under "Preferred Network Type' the Global setting had the strongest signal. Don't know why. Moto G 3rd Generation Smartphone . Sprint - Virgin Mobile user.

heyyyy, at 4:13 look at the video and at the timer next to the audio setting, you should notice that the time is still changing, while its buffering
