Guest timfimjim Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I asked this on the blade forums a while ago (http://android.modaco.com/topic/348406-wifi-signal-boost-on-the-zte-blade/page__p__1842117__fromsearch__1#entry1842117). The monte carlo stock ROM had an app that did it but I didn't stay on that ROM for more than 24 hours... Basically what I want to know is whether it's possible to use this feature on another network other than orange (I'm on 3). Also do I just need the app or would I need to take other stuff from the stock monte carlo ROM too? Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Atomix86 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Only for custom roms based on the 2.3.4 OMC rom that also keep it in, and only for orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a network included their own app in one of their own phones do you think it would work on the monte carlo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't tied into the phone hardware profile itself then I don't see why it wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Atomix86 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Optimus from Portugal has this. And I imagine that it's only for one network and only on the main rom it ships with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John W Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Signal boost is Orange's brand name for a technical standard called UMA and now GAN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlicensed_Mobile_Access Orange is the only UK network to support it at the moment, so you can't use it with Three. I seem to remember someone managing to extract it from the stock rom and using it in a custom rom, and it involved taking the libs/kernel drivers with it.
