GSM Signal Strength

[turcomora]

Does anyone know of a software that displays the GSM's carrier strength. I know that there is myphone2.0 and other such programs but those monitor gprs and are just overkill. Just looking for a simple program for the today screen that shows the strength.

Thanks,
M

There is a today plugin called BatteryStatus which also shows the signal strength as a percentage:

That plugin is pretty nice. I wish I would have known about it before I bought battery pack pro. Do you know if there is a way to only display the GSM strength, since I already have a battery meter?

Thanks,
Mauricio

Try entering into GSM test mode by dialing this

*#*#364#*#*

If engineer mode is enabled, it will bring up the GSM test mode.
If it does nothing you will need to modify this key in the registry.

HKLM/Software/HTC/EngineerMode
BuildInEngineeringModeApp = 1 (to enable it if disabled)
LaunchEngineerModeAppDialStr = *#*#364#*#* (may be different for you, use whatever is listed for you)

I just tried that on my T-Mobile MDA Compact III (Artemis) and it says "The file fieldtest.exe cannot be opened"

I use IP Dashboard.

It worked on my HTC Pro, but man - what a number of strange sounding positions in the table... :D Where do I look to see the strenght of my GSM signal in the location where I currently am? :confused:
