Nightjar, back in the late 70's I had a old landcruiser petrol come into the workshop that the owner said was hard to start. After turning it over on the battery for about 20 seconds I turned the key back to just the ignition on and it ran backwards for about 30 seconds. It did this 3 times...

Ok I'll try logging on everytime I use a face book site and see what difference it makes. I know for sure that computers and mobile phones do listen in as my wife have been talking about something that we had not mentioned for years and within half an hour an add appearred on my computer in...

Over the last couple of weeks my computer is shutting down randomly and I thought I would be up for a new computer. What I have found is that any facebook based site is causing the problem but if I avoid any facebook site I can spend hours on the computer but as soon as I log into any facebook...

Gpx5000 seems to have hit the nail on the head, I just went into Mobile Network settings. then network mode and changed setting from LTE/WCDMA/GSM to just WCDMA/GSM and phone went from barely one bar reception up to 4 bars. We will see what the difference is next time I'm back at the location I...

The provider I use is Belong which is owned by Telstra and it's 4G and reverts back to 3G if 4G signal is not in the area so I assume it would be 3G in this area. The wife's provider is Optus so I would think it would be similar. Black-Pete

For the last couple of weeks I have in in an area that has poor mobile reception. I could only get reception if I stood out on the verandah in the cold. I have just been researching ways to improve the signal and I'm more confused than ever. Some systems seem to be illegal and others are very...
