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.
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!
Do you know what mb speed your paying for? Figure that out and then go to a site like speedtest.net to figure out the speed your getting. If your getting the speed your paying for or close to it over wifi there's nothing you can do unless you want to pay for higher tier Internet or at least easily. The only other thing would be to get a device that combines the speed of your internet and speed of your phone into one speed. I forgot what they're called but still I doubt that's what you want to do then your using phone data and phone speeds aren't that good. It'd work better if you had two land internet lines you wanted to combine the speed of
+Just A I think you need to learn about electromagnetic radiation and realise that all radiation is not deadly. You face a higher risk of illness from radiation from a bunch of bananas than from a cell phone. As to the plane being more dangerous. Our atmosphere shields us from a lot of the Sun's (and other extraterrestrial radiation sources) harmful radiation. When you fly at 40,000 feet there is less atmosphere above you to protect you from the radiation and you receive a larger dose. Every day you sit in a pool of radiation from the sun, radio and TV broadcast, your WiFi, cordless phones, cell phones and more. It's only sources of electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths (

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.
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.
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.
If you want it 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.

+Liam Sundqvist Norlén you are wrong. It is illegal to text and drive but at least in the USA (where grant is from) it is OK to use cell phones for other things like GPS or for phone calls (in some states this is illegal also)
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!
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?
+Paul L not that I know of. but I wouldn't like yet another wireless device in my house. I am not any conspiracy theory sucker or anything I just prefer to avoid something that might be harmful in the long run. besides, there is no evidence that smoking causes cancer, but who denies it?
+space0pirate yes I know it does. but how can someone prove it? there are so many different factors that can cause cancer that it's impossible for a scientist to prove that smoking was the actual reason for someone getting cancer.
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!!
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.

TOTALLY buying that!!! I didn't know those existed!
At 0:57, you say the scale is exponential. I think you meant logarithmic.
+A. “Gospel” Smith Nope. Just look it up but I had no idea in the first place. TIL...

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
+Mattis Yo thx man helped me out so much XD
+Mattis Yo Actually I noticed the reverse: the valley shielded the signal of the radio tower which was on the neighbouring mountain.
put some towers above that mountain
edi Valleys are the worst places to be for Internet because the signal bounces off of the surrounding mountains/hills.
Cool video, but I don't like the car part. Its like you're condoning using your phone while driving. Please don't.
