signal-strength

I am using Verizon's new LTE handset from HTC Thunderbolt. I cannot find the API to query for the signal strength while the handset is on LTE. By entering the field test mode ( # #4636# # ), I can see signal strength as -98dBm 2 asu. Anyone know what API I could use to get this info? Warning : this solution should work for Android below API17. Some people may have troubles with newer api or specific phone brand (like Huawei) You need to use this code. In fact, all the information you need is here : String ssignal = signalStrength.toString(); String[] parts = ssignal.split(" "); The parts[]

I want to get the Signal Strength of the Device at the point I hit the API call. I have searched on all the related threads and I am not successful yet. So I would like to get the signal strength like SignalStrength ss = null ; // some initialization int n = ss.getGsmSignalStrength(); But while using this, it is obvious that I will get null pointer exception since I have initialised SignalStrength as null. But I don't know how to initialise this. Also that I don't want to use PhoneStateListener because it is triggered only if the signal changes. I am getting the Signal Strength using the below

I am working on a little app to check the signal strength of various network operators in my area. My current operators signal is quite unstable and I want to look into the strength of other GSM operators. Sofar I've been using the TelephonyManager and a PhoneStateListener with the onSignalStrengthsChanged call back to get the GSM Signal strength of the current network operator, but it seems that this class only gives me info on the signal strength of the network attached to my SIM card. I'm interested in measurement of GSM signal strength of ALL available operators. Searching the net has

I would like to calculate the exact location of a mobile device inside a building ( so no GPS access) I want to do this using the signal strength(in dBm) of at least 3 fixed wifi signals(3 fixed routers of which I know the position) Google already does that and I would like to know how they figure out the exact location based on the this data Check this article for more details : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/63747/Exploring-GoogleGears-Wi-Fi-Geo-Locator-Secrets FSPL depends on two parameters: First is the frequency of radio signals；Second is the wireless transmission distance.
