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...
The new Android 2.1 SDK (version 7) has a new class called SignalStrength: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SignalStrength.html I updated my SDK in Eclipse to include the 2.1 add-on, and now I am trying to use this new class. However, when I go to do an import android.telephony.SignalStrength, it can't find it. ...
Hi, I'm using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.PhoneSignalStrength to get current signal strength. But the value never changes. It only changes when phone turns on/off. I'm sure that signal is changing, 'cos taskbar shows little variantions (bars). This piece of code has been running for hours straigth, but phonesignal_Chan...
hi there! i'm currently writing on some piece of code in android 2.1 that is supposed to measure the signal strength of the gsm signals. what i need is some kind of list with some kind of network IDs matching the corresponding signal strengthes... i got this far: public class main extends Activity { TelephonyManager telManager; ...
Is this even possible? If not I'm really suprised this hasn't been open thru the API yet. ...
Hi: Is it generally possible to have Wifi Tethering turned on (creating a Hotspot) and at the same time scanning for Wifi devices? I want several devices just discover (NOT connect) each other and log the signal strength. To do that all devices must be discoverable over Wifi and at the same time discover others. I would just need that fo...
Hello All! I've been working on a project that requires me to grab the rss signal strength from the phone while it's sleeping via a service that runs when an alarm is received. The problem is that once the phone goes to sleep it always reads the same signal strength until it's woken up again. I can get around this by forcing the phon...
Hello, I'm playing around with reading the signal strengths in a small Android App, and was wondering if anyone has tested this (or just knows) of the documented values (0-31, 99) which value is better. By asking which is better, I mean, does 0 represent no signal, or perfect signal. I'm running an HTC Incredible on Verizon, so I can...
Hi forum, I'm not sure if this post belongs here so forgive me if it's in the wrong place. I have a Netcomm 3G10WVT wireless modem which is going to be uploading data to a database server. I need to acquire the signal strength and bit rate of the data being uploaded by the modem. I've seen a lot of posts regarding acquiring signal stre...
Hi -- I'm writing a .Net class library that's to connect to a specific Wifi network whose name is known in advance, when the signal strength is above a certain threshold. It all works beautifully, EXCEPT that peformance is a bit spotty. I have a polling thread that repeatedly calls WlanGetAvailableNetworks(). This loop performs wel...
When measuring the strength of a Wifi signal between two static points, the measurement constantly fluctuates due to environmental factors. What is a good algorithm to use smooth out small fluctuations and detect significant changes? Exponential moving average? ...
Ideally I would like to monitor the signal strength of a wireless network in near real-time, say every 100ms, but such a high frequency is probably overkill. I'm using the Managed Wifi library to poll RSSI. I instantiate a WlanClient client = new WlanClient(); once and re-use that client to measure signal strengths every second or so (b...
HelloZz, I need to find a way to measure the current signal strength of Android phone, without the need to register a PhoneStateListener that God knows when it returns the actual asu. something like: int signal = getPhoneSignal(); any help plz? thanks! ...
