Better Reception

Okay, i've got a VX4400 and it gets terrible reception in my house and never seems to have more than 3 bars anywhere else, even outside. I've seen those sticker things that you put on the battery or something like that, but does that work and is there anything else that i can do to improve reception, especially reception inside my house?

I have the vx6000 and have poor reception too. Problem with these phones, according to a tech at verizon, is that they are only effective with a range of <10 miles to a tower. I went to the following site and bought an antenna to replace stubby antenna on phone. http://www.accessorygeeks.com/lgvxac1.html I don't know if the antenna will work on your phone, but they should be the same size. I bought the $9.99 antenna. It boosts signal by about 1 bar, which for me goes from 2 to 3. This is enough to hold the signal and not cause any dropped calls. It's not a miracle fix, just a slight improvement, which is all you might need for a good digital connection. I haven't tried the sticky thing you put on battery, but did tape a piece of aluminum foil to the back of battery. It's the same principal but doesn't cost a thing.

hmm good idea. I never thought of using aluminum foil. Thanks I'll try it out, and maybe get an antenna too.

I see where there is a difference between the anternnas of the vx4400 and vx6000. Do a yahoo search for "antennas for LG VX4400" and there should be plenty of sites to go to.

hey have yall checked out the flashing antennas for LGs and other phones?

There's no point in antennas that flash because I haven't seen any that improve reception at all. I tried taping some aluminum foil to the battery and that helps a little. It usually keeps me at around 2 bars (Not enough!!!)

But is there anything exactly that can boost signal inside my house? I've heard of putting a coffee can around the part of the roof antenna that comes inside if u have an antenna, but i don't. Is there anything that could resonate or magnify the signal inside my house?
