Is there a guide on how to work it properly? I'm a little lost. I just wanted a map of what my coverage was like in Real Time.

So far the map is only for orientation. If you want to see the coverage you should make log and then open the created kml exports in Google Earth or use the text exports with MapInfo for example.

Updated to 3.97
- added map where you can see the measurement in real time (LEVEL, QUAL, CELLID) and export kml files and screenshots
- Through [Settings]-[Map Satellite View] you can choose Satellite or Street view of the map
- the icon for kml export is changed and is circle but the size varies with technology - size2G<size3G<size4G. In this way the view is better when zoomed out

- added option to set map to be active while app is in background
- added option for auto center of the map

Updated to 4.0
- if you have information about the sites you can create cellfile you can view sites on map - see the screenshots. Put the file in the folder G-NetTrack_Logs/cellfile. Go to G-NetTrack section on www.gyokovsolutions.com for instruction how to create file and sample file.
- option to load cellfile, show cellname labels and serving cell line are added in Menu - Settings
- if you add too many cells to cellfile the performance of the app could be slowed on some mobiles when the Map tab is active

Here you can find online tool for visualization and postprocessing the text log files created with G-NetTrack.

G-NetDiag

How to use:
1.Load the text log file - after loading you will get message that the file is loaded and after confirmation you'll see the LEVEL measurements. You can load several files one after another.
2.Select what measurement do you want to view - after selection wait until new measurements are displayed. If you click on the measurement point you'll see the list of measured values on that point.

App shows different LTE CellID compared to TEMS Application.
must be parsing wrong API.

What are the values from TEMS and the app?

What are the values from TEMS and the app?

Tems gives cellid 427 and G-Net gives 16

 

[gyokov]

Tems gives cellid 427 and G-Net gives 16

I suppose TEMS shows PCI while the android phones report sectorId.

Your app is fantastic, and have used it since Windows Mobile.

I do have a problem however. It would appear that after the logging files (i.e. all the .kml files for a session) each reach 5 MB in size, the logging function wipes the data on the screen, and am I not able to open up the .kml files (I have included an example). I have also included the error Google Earth gives me when I try to open the file. Even looking at the .txt file, the logging stops abruptly as well.

Can I make a request also. Would it be possible to have the app report the altitude with the geoid correction, as well as being logged (like how it was with the Windows Mobile version).

Many thanks, and keep up the great work!

If you see that error on Google Earth that means the file is not properly closed (probably due to some error). Then open the kml with text editor and add </Folder></kml> at the endof the file.

This is really good app. I like it. Good job. I have TEMS on my K800i and this on my SGS3.
