[Q] Signal strength?

[rizdroid]

How do I check GSM signal strength?

Tried lots of apps/widgets to no avail: most of them show steady -113 dBm, others say 85(RSSI?), no matter where I am. I've also tried *#*#4636#*#* >> Phone information and it says 0 dBm, 0 asu!

BTW, I'm on KG7/KG4/KG6 (2.3.4).

Any clue?

TIA

There is an app called Network Info free in Market.

It doesn't work.

The SGS2 refuses to work for several apps and widgets that run fine on my HD2.

Settings - About Phone - Status. In there

Ha! Shame on me!

Thanks a bunch for recalling that native option!

BTW, it's worthwhile to say all apps/widgets work like a charm, including *#*#4636#*#*, after getting in there! Seems SGS2 has an initialization prob.

What's that all about then? I've been in the SGS2 Q&A, Dev and General forums and although i've not really looked about the issue regarding Widgets and the lack of reporting capability i've never stumbled across a problem/solution thread either.

The fact I have a HD2 running Typhoon where everything works means I don't really care if the SGS2 works or not, as it is in fact just my pretty 'second phone' for showing off.

Interesting find. The phone signal bar is also impacted by this issue:

Yep, that's odd, well the good thing is that it's working now. Is there an app that shows a graph of the signal over time?

No Signal Strength on Galaxy SII

Hi all,

I am the developer from the app "Network Signal Info" and I know this problem.

Short summary from devices:
Samsung Galaxy SI -> no problems
Samsung Galaxy SII -> no strength and no refresh
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 -> no strength and no refresh
Samsung Galaxy Note -> no strength and no refresh
(Android Versions: 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 3.1)

But I think not all devices from a series are affected. But I don´t know which and why.

I have contacted samsung, but I wait for an answer.

Hope I find a solution ...

Andreas

This is indeed a serious issue, that doesn't look to be resolved anytime soon.
Please see the following threads:

It seem more likely to have something to do with the radio firmware. Probably the underlying closed source Broadcom junk is causing trouble. However, CyanogenMod7 ROMs seem to work! I would love to know the radio FW differences in CyanogenMod vs stock. Please post if you know something!

LPH radio seems to fix the problem.

LPH radio seems to fix the problem.

Not sure if the LPH modem fix the problem, maybe LPH ROM did it.
