PVFlyer, thanks for the info. It's always nice to see rumors squashed with real data.
Not a rumor and not squashed at least not for me.
Way back I bought the booster app off the Play store. Tried it but by the time I figured out it really wasn't doing anything it was too late to return it (they only give you 15 min). I tried it a couple more flights with the booster and without it but never noticed any difference at all so I stopped using it.
Several months later I decided to give it another try just for fun. Perhaps I had been too hard on the app? 5 minutes into my flight my screen went dead. My WiFi module had overheated and failed. Cost me $185 to replace.
I suppose it's possible the WiFi would have failed either way but maybe it was on the edge and the Booster pushed it over the cliff? I don't care what some guy with a heat gun says - in my mind, the Booster killed my WiFi module. I'll never use it again. At best it's useless and at worst it's dangerous.
