So crystal955 you just use the adapter and a antenna? No amp?did you just drill a hole in the back case of the phone or take the cover off? Is it still working?
Well I ended up using the subjected Signal boost from Wilson I found out the Droid has a hard time switching back to the internal antenna and I was afraid it would do more harm than good.
Here is my review I did on the Wilson Electronics 801247 SIGNALBOOST DT .
First off we live on top of a mountain and in our small town 4 miles below we have one cell tower which is not even my carrier's cell tower I had to extend my range to find a Verizon tower and with the help of this site
http://map.sbasite.com/ I was able to pin point the exact area of were a Verizon tower was then I used a another app from my Droid phone to get the general area where I needed to point my antenna. Another thing is sense we live so far up we are above the towers so I have to place the outside antenna low instead of up high.
When I had a regular cell phone you could get maybe two bars but it would be in out. Once I got my Droid smart phone it was even more iffy sometimes no service at all.
I ordered the Wilson Electronics 801247 SIGNALBOOST DT
My first impression was there is no way this thing is going to help. The included outside antenna felt just like an empty plastic box it was nothing like most of Wilson's other antennas. Wilson has done away with the attached pop up inside antenna it is now a separated antenna that has to be placed 24 inches from the amplifier.
I hooked everything up as indicated in the manual very simple to figure out. The hardest thing is finding a place to put the outside antenna box with guessing where the nearest cell towers is and meeting Wilson distance requirements and trust me this will be your biggest hurdle.
Once all that is figure out and everything is power up it takes the Amplifier and your phone about 5 mins to adjust to the incoming single.
I went from bouncing one to two bars to solid 3G on my smart phone no bouncing back in forth just a steady 3G. On my PC Card it went straight to full single for Boardband.
Wilson is a solid company and has been making antennas for a long time and they have great tech support plus they even back up your purchase with a no questions ask 30 day returns. So in all Wilson knows there stuff and stands behind it. Another note the kit comes with 1-30ft cable and 1-20ft cable all white color cable and unless your house is white it will stick out so what I did was used some Krylon Fusion paint for Plastic and painted my cable brown sense my house is brown.
