The Real Clap: A Matter of Angles and Design

You know what I realize? I've been clapping wrong my whole life. I'm always trying to do, a symmetrical clap like this, like a *Clap* But in reality, the much better clap is to angle it so that your hand hits the palm. It's a thicker *Clap* So that's the real clap.

As Jack continues on his journey to solve problems and answer questions, he begins by addressing the issue of cellphone signal strength. He asks, "Who's not hurting for more signal, better signal, better reception?" The solution he has in mind is the Link case clear, which claims to improve reception without needing any power or complicated technology.

Jack takes out his iPhone and places it on a table, next to an empty space where the Link case clear will be placed. He says, "We're gonna see about the reception of the phone without the case and then with the case." The design of the Link case clear is unique, with what Jack describes as "weird kinda design going on" inside. He notes that it's patented technology, but also mentions that he has switched the way the iPhone displays its signal strength.

Normally, the iPhone shows a numerical readout, but Jack has changed this to display dots at the top. To do this, he dials *3001#12345#, which gives him access to various data about his cellular connection. He holds down the power button and presses the home button for five seconds, then releases it. The result is a signal strength reading of -114, which Jack notes that smaller numbers indicate better reception.

To test the Link case clear's effectiveness, Jack places it on the iPhone and observes how the antenna changes when he lifts it up and slides it around. He notices that with the antenna extended, the signal strength improves from -114 to -1. The improvement is noticeable, but not dramatic, with a 10% increase in signal strength.

To further test the Link case clear's capabilities, Jack launches a speed test on his iPhone while using the case and then without it. When he uses the case, he gets speeds of 8.73 Mbps download and 6.61 Mbps upload. Without the case, he gets speeds of 8.33 Mbps download and 5.46 Mbps upload. While the difference is not dramatic, Jack notes that in environments with weak signals, the improvement could be noticeable.

The final test involves Jack's "little trick" to check signal strength. He says, "Check what kind of signal you have in the first place get rid of those little dots!" This refers to changing the iPhone's display from numerical readouts to traditional dot displays. By doing so, Jack can see that his current signal strength is indeed weak.

In conclusion, Jack's experiment with the Link case clear suggests that it may improve cellphone signal strength in environments with weak signals. While the improvement may not be dramatic, it could provide a noticeable bump in performance for users who constantly experience weak signals. As Jack notes, "it DID do something," and further testing may reveal more about its capabilities.

It sucksI got an iPhone here, I got the case.We're gonna see about the reception of the phone without the caseAnd then with the caseAnd We're gonna find out if this the real deal or not.No fancy contraption, You don't need power for it or anythingIt's just, it's got a weird kinda design going on itI mean, they say It's Patented technology.But One thing I wanna mention before we crack this openI sort of switched the way the iPhone displays it's signal strengthSo normally you have those, those little dots at the top.You can change those dots to an actual numerical readout.Here's how you do it.On the keypad, Dial *3001#12345#*Then you hit the call buttonYou can get all kinds of data in here, Regarding your cellular connectionOn the iPhone, hold down the power, And then once you get to the power screen like thisYou wanna hit the home button, for about five seconds?And then you'll see what happens when I release, BOOM.So in this case I've got -114The smaller the minus, bigger the betterSo like, -50, for example would be good.-100, not so good, -114, not ideal at all.This would be similar to either one or two dots lit up.So not great signal strength where I'm sitting right nowWhich makes this the perfect location for this test.We're going to check if that -114 number goes upAfter I put the 'Link case clear' on to this deviceIs there english anywhere in here?I mean, What am I doing, What's going on right nowTo optimize your battery life, use EMW whe accessing data or during callsAnd the signal enhancement is instantaneousHowever IOS might need some tome do display the changeI'm still seeing -114What happens Is, when you lift it upAnd slide it, youll noticeit lines up (great observing lew.)With the antennaon the iphone, it almost an extentionof the phonesbuilt in antennaooohoh baby...we are nowat minus 1 zerotwojack do u see that?almost a 10 percent improvementnow obviously there are a number of parameters at play hereits not just signal strengthits also... the signal techlike are u on LTE and so on and so onbut none the lessfor the most part you seea better number up herea lower number up hereyou're in better shapewhat does it mean for data? what does it meanfor voice?i'm gonna launch a speed test right now to find out so we'll dothe speed test withthe antenna extendedand the case onfirsteight point seven threeMEGA bits per secdownloadand six point six one mega bits per second uploadnow keep in mindthis is strictlythe LTE network fromin this case Rogersminus one zero twois the signal strengthI'm gonna remove the caseand do the same speed testso the CASE is offand i just discovered something kinda coolonce you've enabled thisyou can jus TAP *tap*in the top cornerand switch back to the little dotsand then back and forthback to the speed test nowand let's see how we compareeight point 33 mega bits per second down5.46 megabit per second upits slightly worse8.73 to 8.33and 6.61 to 5.46is it incredibly substantial?nolike this isnt gonna solve ya problem if you have no signal at alland if this is any kind of indicationthe improvement you could expect to seein an environment with a somewhat weak signalmight be in the neighbor in 10% maybe a little bit morea little bit lessit looks here from a preliminary perspective like it does do somethingI thoughtmaybe it was all smoke and mirrorsbut, it DID do somethingso, the first step isdo my my little trick at the front of this videoCheck what kind of signal you have in the first placeget rid of those little dots!and if you're constantly in situation with a weak signalthis could give you a little bumpso no I can't say that is sucksMaybe you'll hold on that one phone call just a little bit longerwith the one you lovewho knows what this might do for you.\n"
