rEdshiFt 1 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 hi, i was lookin up ways to fasten our rconnect speeds...and i found a bunch of s/f which r supp to optimize/tweak the modem settings (or somethin similar) thereby givin us faster speeds....thats the theory atleast. none of them really does anything appreciable ...actually throttle was quite good,but it never stays cracked.... anyways, sice the software part didnt help much in improving rconnect speeds, i thot the hardware part mite have something... there seems to be a lotta varities of these external antennae/boosters ....from those little stick_on_the_cell things to full_blown rooftop_dishes... for improving reception in poor_coverage areas... question is, would these help in anyways to improve rconnect speeds ? Thing is, even with a 'full' "tower" shown in our phone display, the rx: & tx: speeds are never "full' right ? ...like, i understand the rx: and tx: speeds depends on a lotta things like the number of people in the same 'CELL' usin the base_station/tower(voice calls too) at the same time...and so forth... has anyone xperiences with these external anrennae/booster things? bottomline is -is there anyway we can add_more_bars to the rx: thing and improve speeds ? Why cant we ever keep those graph_lines in the rconnect dialer flat/plateaud...??u know what i mean...? like even a 50kbps(thats >half the promised quota)speed is ok with me -BUT I WANT IT TO STAY FLAT AT 50kbps...why does this NEVER happen why does it always a up_down_up_down graph ? is there anyway to... say ...straighten this up i've so wanted to ask THIS question ever since i started usin rconnect - why doesnt it stay flat ? ps: what kinda waves r the cellphone signals...? what freq range do they fall in ? like would a satellite dish for tv or a dth dish pick up these signal too ?... is the difference only in whats connected after the antenna/dish ?[tv/radio/cellphone] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganesh 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 it always varies according to network load.nothing to do with signal strength. of course we need a healthy signal to keep the connection going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepu 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Even on a dedicated leased line the speed varies according to the network load... I do not mind it varying by a few KB... But Rconnect graph in Flashget varies from 0 to 12 KB.... 8 to 12 might have been much better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganesh 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 yesterday night at chennai i got constant 12KBPS at night 1 am day time i get around 6 to 8KBPS.signal does not vary and good reception. so i dont think there is a change in rconnect speed according to signal.if the signal is too bad to happen a call drop, it will give bad speed indeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fennb 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 OK .. I found something. The LGRD 5130 is known as the TD5130 is Australia and elsewhere. On scouring the web, I found the websites given below, I found that they had an external antenna for this phone. http://www.chinmore.com/T5003ListCmdyData?...Sketch1-2_Hi178 They also had the connector to connect the antenna to the phone. It's web URL is given below. http://scm.asianproducts.com/clients/showp...5100088946.html or http://www.chinmore.com/T5004ShowCmdyData?...Id=216&&y_MuId= These products are available in Kerala. Does anybody have any experiences with them? One phone store said that they will work. I know that the use of these items may harm the warranty that is offered with my phone. But since I will be connecting this external antenna only once in a while I think that any chances of damage from lightning etc will be remote. Let me know folks! B Kool!
