Position Your Phone Correctly
The way you hold your phone can significantly affect its signal strength. Avoid covering the antenna area with your hand or fingers, as this can interfere with reception. Instead, hold your phone in a way that allows the antenna to receive signals without obstruction.Move to Higher Ground
If you’re in an area with poor signal reception, try moving to higher ground. Signal strength can be stronger at elevated locations, such as hills or upper floors of buildings, where fewer obstacles are blocking the signal.Stay Near Windows or Outdoors
Signals can penetrate glass more easily than walls, so staying near windows or going outdoors can often result in better reception. If you’re indoors, positioning yourself closer to a window can help improve signal strength.Sign up for the Connect Nigeria daily newsletter
Disable Battery-Saving Mode
Some smartphones automatically switch to battery-saving mode when the battery level is low, which can reduce power to the antenna and degrade signal strength. If you’re experiencing weak signal issues, try disabling battery-saving mode to see if it improves reception.Switch Network Bands
Many smartphones allow you to manually select a preferred network band in the settings menu. Experiment with switching between different bands, such as 3G or 4G to find the one that offers the best signal strength in your area.Update Your Phone’s Software
Software updates released by your phone manufacturer or carrier often include optimizations and bug fixes that can improve network performance. Make sure your phone is running the latest software version available to take advantage of these improvements.Register to attend the CN Business Mixer
