Default Signal Strength

Is there any app or any way to measure raw signal strengths?

"I only have two bars!" just seems ridiculous to me, I'd rather be able to see the actual signal strength.

If it worked for WiFi too, that'd be great...but...

Try entering into GSM test mode by dialing this

*#*#364#*#*

If engineering 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 your device)

Just keep in mind that the device should be immobile when this is done so as to get an accurate reading.

This is useful, but I was hoping there was some kind of app that condensed this information into something more usable / accessible.

And perhaps also worked for WiFi.
