Hey guys, I'm needing help from anyone a bit tech savvy in relation to mobile phone networks I live in Cashmere (semi-bushland) and have no mobile signal inside the house, and low signal outside and I'm looking at buying a signal booster to give me mobile reception within the house, My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 4G on Telstra network. Im not worried too worried about 3g or 4g capability on the phone as it is connected to the wi-fi network. I'm mainly just wanting to get mobile signal. I've spotted this on fleabay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WCDMA-850MHz-3G...e00b&_uhb=1 Would this fix the problem? Or is it likely to be cash urinated against a wall? Educated input would be appreciated, thanks |

OK, for a start those booster/repeaters are illegal, most get caught at customs or worse ACMA pays you a visit, they are the number 1 cause of fkd networks for others around you. |

you can try to access the ServiceMode , try to type *#0011# , *#0*# , Samsung used to provide field test display by entering codes in keypad. However, from Galaxy S3 onward, the service mode *#*#197328640#*#* was disabled. Only *#0011# is still available. The worst is that even the android default testing info *#*#4636#*#* was disabled as well. Who knows what the sales/marketing gimps in Telstra have implemented for the GUI |

key thing to search for are RSCP, that is the true decoded signal after noise, with Voice, 3g has a -106 dbm cutoff, 4g about -130 dbm, 3g data craps out below -95 dbm from what I have tested, 4g -110 dbm, |
