The ZBoost YX510 – An Effective Cell Phone Signal Booster
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
What is the zBoost YX510?
You have probably seen a number of zBoost YX510 reviews and advertisements and wondered what exactly it does and how it works.
The zBoost YX510 which is also known as the manufactured by Wi-Ex meaning (Wireless extenders) is a revolutionary product that is currently in the market which and significantly improves cell phone reception through wireless connectivity.
The zBoost YX510 package consists of parts which are integrated together to boost your reception: amplifier base unit, power supply, base unit antenna, low-loss SATV coaxial cable (RG6), signal antenna and mounting hardware. It has an omni-directional antenna which is easy to orient and receives strong signals from multiple cell towers. This antenna can be mounted in a place where there is a strong reception, like an attic, so it amplifies the strong signal into the area where the base unit is placed (e.g. basements, offices).
When installed and used properly it can deal effectively deal with static and distortion during phone calls.
YX510: Features and Advantages as a cell phone signal booster
The device is built to serve multiple users indoors – approximately 20 cell phone users can benefit from a single yx510 PCS. zBoost YX510 can be used to support any phone model and uncommon cell phone brands from different manufacturers.
The YX510 cell phone repeater operates on dual band meaning it is compatible with all major carriers AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Alltel, Cricket, etc (with an exception to Nextel) and can amplify 3G on all 3G enabled devices like the iphone and data cards.
Installation and Benefits of zBoost YX510
Preferably the zBoost YX510 should be installed near a window or at the attic where reception is excellent (3 to 5 bars).
Mount the Signal Antenna in your attic, near a window or even outdoors using the hardware provided in the package and place the Base Unit across the room – where the cell zone will be created. The antenna and the base unit should be 15 feet away from each other to avoid a feedback loop. Attach the coaxial cable to the signal antenna and run it to the base unit. Mount the base unit to the wall or alternatively, place it on stationery furniture and attach the power supply to the Base Unit. Plug in the power supply. Should you see a red light emitting diode, see the troubleshooting options in your manual.
The installation is a one-time process and you don’t have to repeat it again.
Benefits of having the YX510 include:
With a significant boost in your cell phone signal, you can now replace your landline with a cell phone for more mobility and less expenses. Battery life is maintained for a longer period since the cell phone uses less power looking or searching for a home network. With the zBoost YX510 there’s almost none of those dropped calls and none of those annoying moments when using your cell phone.
Tether iPhones edGe 3G Network to Laptop
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Bring your iphones anywhere-internet to your laptop with iphone Modem or PDA net
For some time, cell phone users have been able to tether their phones to their laptops and use them as Bluetooth modems, utilizing their data plan to power their laptops browsing. For a time, this ability was not available on iphones. people were unable to use their mighty eDGe or 3G for nonphone browsing. Jailbroken apps changed this.
There are a few tethering apps to be found on cydia. The two covered here will be iphone Modem (www.iphonemodem.com) and PDA net (www.junefabrics.com). For either one, download them from cydia.
iphone Modem also has a desktop app for you to use that streamlines the process of tethering and that works on either Mac or Windows. To connect your Mac to the pdanet, youll need to make an ad-hoc network.
If you chose the iPhone Modem route, just launch the desktop app and press Connect. It will do the following step for you.
To do this on a Mac, go to the drop-down menu of your airport status icon and click create network. name the network whatever you wish, and include a password if you so choose. on a pc, go to the network and sharing control panel, and select set up a connection or network. specify that it should be a wireless ad hoc network, and click through to create it. again, name it whatever you want, and choose a level of security. check save if you want to use this network sometime in the future for the same purpose.
Now connect your iphone to the network you just made, and start up your app. on iphone Modem, press connect. on pdanet, turn on the Wi-Fi Router.
When your app shows a happy connection screen, you should be connected. Most apps should work ine over your tethered connection. eDGe is ine for browsing and anything that the iphone feels safe doing over eDGe. 3G is even strong enough to handle skype. it can even, for those so inclined, handle World of Warcraft.
Keep your apps going with Backgrounder.
only a handful of apples standard apps will keep updating when they arent open things like sMs, Mail, and the alarms. This means that apps like aiM and Yahoo!Messenger will function and receive iMs only when the phone is unlocked (screen on) and the app is running (on screen). This almost defeats the purpose of their convenient messaging.
With Backgrounder running, you can leave these applications running in the background while you do other things, or while your phone is in your pocket. You can use it to more quickly boot up an application that you use frequently, or keep it running for background updates (like the instant messenger apps).
Download Backgrounder from cydia. it wont have an icon on the springBoard it will simply be hooked onto your devices apps. When you want something to keep running in the background, open it up and then hold the home button for a second or two. a window will show up, and your app will stay open after you return to the home screen. iMs will still beep, thus youll know when someone sent you an instant message…instantly.
Some apps of note: if you use this on ocarina, it will continue to respond to microphone stimuli, and resound its standard note. Lightsaber Unleashed will continue to hum in the background, but it will not respond to motion, unfortunately.
Keep Your Wi-Fi running all the time on Your iphone
You can keep your iphone connected to Wi-Fi when it goes to sleep with this hack.
The iphone has remarkable networking capabilities, in that it rather seamlessly switches between eDGe, 3G, and Wi-Fi connections. But sometimes what the iphone wants to do is not what you want it to do. often if youre at home or at work, and you need to access iles on your iphone, youd like it just to stay online instead of sleeping and locking itself. normally, 30 seconds after the screen shuts off, the iphone sleeps.
The fix is easy. insomnia, an application that has existed for years for Mac notebooks and is now available for the iphone, keeps things running when the phone sleeps, including Wi-Fi networking. You can ind insomnia in cydia.
Note that leaving Wi-Fi on all the time will reduce battery life. however, if youre usually on Wi-Fi and you have an iphone 3G, you can disable your 3G network to get some of that idle energy back.

You can download the source code for iphone insomnia and learn how to incorporate the insomnia code into your own application at http://code.google.com/p/iphone-insomnia.
Using Voipover3G, you can download apps and make Voip calls without Wi-Fi
Although the 3G network has completely acceptable speeds even for demanding network services such as the app store, iTunes store, and Voip these apps stop working when not used over Wi-Fi. But if you need an app, song, or need to make a Voip call and theres no open Wi-Fi to be found, what do you do? You trick the apps into thinking that you do have Wi-Fi, so that they’ll happily chug along.
Theres one simple step to do this: download Voipover3G from cydia. You may now use the app store, iTunes store, Fring, and Truphone all over 3G.
If those are not all the apps that you wish to trick into thinking youre connected to Wi-Fi, you will need to do something a bit more in depth. Find the ile /Library/MobileSubstrate/
DynamicLibraries/VoIPover3G.plist on your iphone. This plist ile contains the list of apps that Voipover3G will attempt to pull a fast one on.
Youll need to add the bundle identiier that is contained in the Info.plist ile (e.g., com.apple.mobilestore) to this plist just like the other ones that sit there. or, for a really bad idea, you can delete the entire VoIPover3G.plistile, and all apps will be bamboozled into thinking that they have Wi-Fi under any circumstances. some apps do not like being tricked like this and will react poorly, because of the slower network performance.
Now go out there and make some Voip calls!
