signal-strength

Is there any way to retrieve the current cellular Signal Strength (RSSI) on Android 1.5? I know there's a way to listen for signal strength updates through the TelephonyManager , but this seems to only give a "state," not a numeric value. Is using the RSSI field on a neighboring cell fairly accurate? I'm guessing not, but I'm running out of ideas. TelephonyManager.listen with flag LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/PhoneStateListener.html Janusz It seems that there is some kind of API change between the Android Versions. The answer to this question

I am trying to capture Signal Strength and Ec/Io from my Android app on a phone that's on at&t network. When a phone is being served on WCDMA / HSDPA network, the pertinent RF measurements are RSCP and Ec/Io. How do I obtain the current RSCP and Ec/Io? The GSM Signal Strength and GSM Bit Error Rate are not applicable when the phone is camping on 3G (UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA/HSUPA) network. Thanks. Dillon ShutterBC The signal strength indicator uses the following: [android.telephony.PhoneStateListener][1] If you're using an i9000 based modem, you can dial the following: * #0011# This will give you the

I am trying to get the current RSSI value of a connected bluetooth device at the click of a button. However it returns only -32768 always! Don't know what is wrong! However I was able to get the correct RSSI, the first time it got connected. private Button.OnClickListener buttonRSSIOnClickListener = new Button.OnClickListener(){ @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Intent intent = new Intent(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND); short rssi = intent.getShortExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_RSSI,Short.MIN_VALUE); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext()," RSSI: " +

NeighboringCellInfo() on Android API, I want to know this function return all neighbor cell? And one of result is current cell which our device connected? Thanks so much. Yes, it should. But I never found a device where it did. Please report back here if you find any GSM device with any Android OS Version that does report at least one neighboring cell. Thank you! You should be able to use the following code to get them: TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); List<NeighboringCellInfo> neighbours = tm.getNeighboringCellInfo(); You need the

I want to get the current Wifi signal strength from an iOS device. A Google search reveals only solutions for Android devices. From the literature I gather that Apple does not allow to access hardware and so nobody can retrieve the device's signal strength in dbm through their app. Is this correct? NSPekka As you say, there is no way to do this as Apple doesn't allow apps access to the necessary hardware. (There seems to have been a way to do it in iOS 5 but only using private APIs.) What you can do - and what, according to this article , some apps are doing - is measure network throughput

I'm a newbie to Android. How do I get the GSM signal Strength in terms of percentage (1 - 100%)? The user who asked should have provided more information or feedback. That said... The question is not trivial at all: since it's a scale in decibels it's not linear and thus smaller changes have a greater impact when the signal is low, while bigger changes are less important when the value is high. That's why I'm sorry to say that all the other answers will be getting inaccurate values that would not match the one displayed on the phone. Assuming you already have a SignalStrength object (if not,

Is this even possible? If not I'm really surprised this hasn't been open thru the API yet. Apple doesn't allow the use of low level network/wifi/cellular api's. Interestinlgy during a previous period, there were apps in the app store that made use of private apis (a few WIFI-Scanners for example). They've all been banded from the appStore by now, as far as I know at least. Also the newly available (since iOS 4) core telephony framework doesn't offer any methods or properties to serve you the information you're looking for. So unless you're building a non-app-store-app I don't see a legitimate
