Its not just a small amount, the number you see is in dBm (decibelmilliwatt), going from -114 to -102 is actually a 6 times higher signal strength (its logarithmic)
He can only give his review based on his experience with the product. I don't think he is bias at all. I've seen him trash some of these Does It Suck products in the past. He made it clear it this wasn't that good but that there was some improvement. I am sure if you look at most poorly reviewed products on Amazon you will find at least some positive reviews so someone else may have felt the product worked.
This reminds me of a crazy story. In 7th grade on my iPhone 4s my best friend and I were skiing and we had takes a break inside. The signal was barely bearable. I wanted to show him this TH-cam video but it wouldn't load. But, it started loading when I accidentally touched my antennae line on my phone to a coke can by me and the video started to load. So I ended up using the can as a bigger antenna to load the video.
Delano LV IPhone 4S came out in Oct. 2011, over 5 years ago. Using basic math and assuming the phone was either new or bought within the year it was released, they are either in 11th of 12th grade, so not very young.
For the best clap, when you slap your dominant hand down upon the other hand, you need your dominant hands' fingers need to be just below the the webs of the non-dominant hand starting with your index finger between your thumb and other index finger. Your knuckles on your dominant hand should line up with the start of the bottom of your palm.
anyone else feels like the unboxings aren't showing any popular products anymore??? it's not that I don't like to see unique stuff but there are some products that I've been waiting Unbox Therapy to show...
JN VuC cool stuff like this is what keeps me going. Slowly, but it keeps me subscribed I guess. Just stuff nobody thinks of or nobody knows, or REALLY want to know like the soda maker or something
Lew this is probably the best video that you've had in a while. No stupid build ups and exaggerated reactions and such. It's very to the point, it's really informative, and of course it's got that top notch Unbox Therapy editing.
It's a cool transparent case, for people who like to display the phone and still protect it. And who doesn't come around a few moments when a little big of signal strength would help ? Good case.

I'm a radio frequency engineer and the signal strength your measuring is a log base so the "10%" improvement is actually 10x better signal strength. This device is improving your received signal by 1000%
You know, I feel like Lew gets his nails done every now and then for the videos, because his hands and nails always look great. And I really really appreciate that since this is a unboxing channel. 👌🏻
I was on the train at morning so thats maybe why it didin't work at all. I have samsung galaxy s 7 edge so i don't know do they make that case for my phone. I tried my singal at helsinki and i had 5-10mb download speed and i pay 30e to have 350mb lol i hate when the singal is shit all the time. Fuck Dna "operator"
Level98 Magikarp how is the 6 better? The 7 has a faster processor, better camera, better battery life, and higher possible memory capacity. Who the hell cares about a headphone jack, everything has bluetooth now and they give u a dongle for the 1 thing that isnt bluetooth still.
the signal strength is actually measured in dB. so you have -114dB HOWEVER, you cannot just use percentages. in increase of 6dB is actually double the strength, thus 12dB (114 to 102) is, well shoud, be 4 times the strentgh. So it's not 10% more, but 400%
Actually, it doesn't do anything because the "technology"/modulation defines the speed you're getting and the modulation is chosen based on SNR rather than Intensity. In short, it doesn't really matter (apart from horribly fringe scenarios) how "strong" the signal is as long as it is "clean" (of noise).
that's a dBm measurement (Not the same as dB!). it's logarithmic, not linear. Every 3dBm increase is double the power so its actually a surprisingly good case and and would increase your reception range by a noticeable distance!
Ummm... signal strength and metered data throughput aren't necessarily relational. You could have a 5-bar signal in a congested area and have a low data throughput. Similarly, you might be in a 2-bar signal area and be the only one connected to a local mast, therefore have an excellent rate of data throughput. Just sayin'...
Joseph Harding Well he gave you actually valuable information about how to enable a secret setting but all your simple minded ass wants is a box opening smh
Maybe this comment won't be important for the majority of people here. Some of you will ignore it, most of you won't bother to read and it'll go unnoticed along with other comments, maybe I'll be criticised for this but I just want to let you all know I'm selling potatoes.
hey mate, i thing you got confused about the reception scale, it is actually measured in dbm, and its an exponential scale, which means a 10 dbm gain is actually substantial, great video non the less!
upload is incredibly sensitive when it comes to signal, and that extra mbps will save your ass in a clutch. you only need about 100kbps to make a call out but when you boost and get over a mbps additional, thatll make your call that much more reliable. worth it if youre in a low signal large area. and yes, before you ask, im a network engineer/administrator specializing in wireless communications.
You really do have shitty lte speeds over there! In the worst signal areas in Turkey, it's 25mb per second and normally in the cities download is anywhere from 80 to 120 mb per second. You pay money for this service?? 🤔
Andrika Hilman 1 mb/s. Wow. I know in some countries it's bad but a country like Canada (I'm sure that's where Rogers is) should be a lot better. Here's mine from yesterday.

Actually, Lew, I find the best (loudest) clapping method is when you have a 90 degree angle between hands. The biggest sound comes from palm hitting palm, not finger to palm, finger to finger ;) For more proper clapping though, the finger to palm does work nicely! There's your tutorial of the day, folks.

When you say a lower number you actually mean a higher number because -2 is is a smaller number than -1. Or in your case -114 is a smaller number than -102. It's hard to explain but I hope you get it.
I did the numerical signal change a few months ago and I have literally never seen anything above -70. -50 is ridiculously good service. Lowest ever, like in the countryside, for example, is about -120. Anything below that reads as no service.

Unbox Therapy YOU ARE MY BAE
Unbox Therapy Hi
first to comment :)
first reply
Unbox Therapy I asked for "does it suck" to come back a few videos ago... I know you didn't see the comment but thank you☺
I don't think you can say that it is a 10% improvement because the decibel scale is logarithmic. I should probably go to sleep.
+
vaibhav arcot you're a genius, please explain me that
LMAO
vaibhav arcot nerd
sssshhhh, let's just make it look like they understand what they are saying...
Calling -50 a lower number than -100 annoyed the hell out of me xD
Ad Addv Don't think of it as a negative, think of it as a dash.
exactly
Ad Addv same
That's how it works, though.
brandon hammer No because -100 is less than -50 because the -50 is closer to one. Think of it like this -5 degrees vs -10 degrees -5 degrees is warmer
-112dB to -104 dB isn't a 10% improvement in signal strength.
8dB difference is equal to 10^(8dB/10)= 6.3 times the power received.
TheUnPlayable Glad someone's aware it's a logarithmic scale.
TheUnPlayable well put
TheUnPlayable do you know how to turn it ofd
so it is substential !?
Thank you, it's not Linear, the difference between 80 and 90 isn't the same as 110 and 120
Its not just a small amount, the number you see is in dBm (decibelmilliwatt), going from -114 to -102 is actually a 6 times higher signal strength (its logarithmic)
Like sound decibels?

Making full circle to the extendable basic phone antenna.
the signal strength is actually measured in dB. so you have -114dB
HOWEVER, you cannot just use percentages. in increase of 6dB is actually double the strength, thus 12dB (114 to 102) is, well shoud, be 4 times the strentgh. So it's not 10% more, but 400%
the thing that sucks is the iphone that can not pick up a signal
Jack is his camera
I thought that as well but not anymore, he gave beer to "Jack"
Who else actually tried clapping like Lew?
Actually, it doesn't do anything because the "technology"/modulation defines the speed you're getting and the modulation is chosen based on SNR rather than Intensity. In short, it doesn't really matter (apart from horribly fringe scenarios) how "strong" the signal is as long as it is "clean" (of noise).
@unbox therapy: all those dislikes are going towards the phone case not your video because your videos are the best and will always be. :)

How do I Change my signal back?
When you say a lower number you actually mean a higher number because -2 is is a smaller number than -1. Or in your case -114 is a smaller number than -102. It's hard to explain but I hope you get it.
I did the numerical signal change a few months ago and I have literally never seen anything above -70. -50 is ridiculously good service. Lowest ever, like in the countryside, for example, is about -120. Anything below that reads as no service.
Someone should make a case where it not only has an antenna, but comes with more memory, higher definition camera/video, and a battery!
