Started a beta testing channel on the market for anyone interested. Mostly looking for people with devices I do not own and do not have testers for already. Also, you have to know how to use logcat and send me reports if you're interested.

What do you get out of it?

-- Access to early releases and updates via the Android Market you already use

-- Access to a private discussion area for app issues (Google Groups)

-- Ability to give me direct feedback via Google Groups

You can opt in and out at any time (opting out adds you back to the stable app update stream), but I have to have a gmail email to add you to the testing pool, so you can either PM it to me or email it to me (see email on the market under my app).

Please send me a message with the following:

- your gmail email that you use for the market so I can add you to the testing pool

- devices you are willing to test

- android versions for each device (and if not running stock, the ROM each is using)

All information sent to me is private and will only be used for adding you to the test pool. I have no interest in your email otherwise. You can also contact me directly at the group with the above info.

A version of the app with Network Toggle enabled for those that lost it and also have root/super user is now in beta testing. See my previously post above if you wish to participate. I do need at least a few more users that were affected by the recent block that have root to test before I can release it to the market.
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
UPDATE (2014-01-06):

► Devices with root/super user can now access the "additional settings area" if they were being blocked by Samsung and their carrier (Note 3 / Galaxy S4 / etc). Contact me if you experience issues and have root

► GSM ECIO added for supported devices

► Bug fixes (Huawei and a few older LG)

► Overhaul of the parser that grabs the readings from the system. More flexible with older devices

► Performance enhancements. Using async for tasks

Got the source code and combing thru it. Using AIDE but can't really run it even though it compiles.

By the way is there a way to get the Cellular Channel Bandwidth and Baseband Channel?
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Sorry, I only use intellij idea, so can't really give IDE support for setting it up in anything else. If you decide to use that and a PC instead, I would be able to answer IDE related questions.

Cell channel and current radio frequency I wanted to add a while ago because it's the only way to always get the precise RSSI for lte regardless of carrier, but there's no real way to do it in the android api. You can guess them by the carrier and store the possible ones in a db, but that's the only way to do it for all devices and you would still only be able to guess that you're on 1 of x channels (x being how many the carrier uses).

For ones with root, I know it's possible sort of for devices with Qualcomm radio chipsets. Requires reading raw values from OemRilRequest and manually parsing them out. What would work for Qualcomm would not work for others though. Qualcomm also has an sdk for its chipsets to interact with the radio directly, but it is even more of a pain to set up because it requires compiling in kernel modules and working with the android ndk.
[Android Apps and Games] equake:
I mis-typed, thought AIDE referred to Android Studio, the IDE is actually Android Studio running on Wintel. I believe Android Studio is intelliJ based.

Didn't really want to guesstimate. Samsung phones have access to some API to get this info to display from the hidden menus/Dialer. Since the LCD is mostly Qualcomm chipsets I'll take a look at their SDK.

I know that SignalCheckPro displays this sort of info but have no idea how its being done or how accurate it is.

My 2 cents.
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Oh Android Studio. Yeah, it's more or less the same IDE. I thought you meant that horrible tablet IDE for Android. Would still need details about whatever is causing you issues.

SignalCheckPro? I'll take a look at it and see what they're doing.

Probably requires root to access whatever it's calling to (private API). Mostly trying to avoid adding root stuff if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Andrev01:
Is there any possibility to add an option to see the antenna name? I mean the signal tower name, that is the city (or city part) name :) It was on older phones, we saw the city we were in... Could u add this, and a widget with this (or notification bar sign)? :)
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
The location of the tower by city? Yeah, sure, I could add that fairly easy via geolocation. I really wanted to add distance to nearby towers, but that would require gps, since I have to know the device location too.
[Android Apps and Games] Andrev01:
It's not quite the thing I meant ;) Do you remember the old phones? With that gray screen (Nokia 3310 for ex.)? They all showed us the City Name on their home screens. That was taken from the signal tower. And my question is - is it possible to restore this to Android, via this app? :) I hope you understand me know.
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Never had a phone that did that, but I see what you mean now. I guess someone could probably do it through a lockscreen widget probably if using Android 4.3+

Need you're help for this application advanced signal status

Hello,

I need you're help for this application, I need to know if the LTE signal strenght value means transsmited power from the smartphone.

Thanks for you're help
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Nah, no way to determine the current transmitting power of the actual device (from the Android OS level at least), but the receiving signal indicators are directly related to the power the device is transmitting at currently. Theoretical max for most phones is around 30dBm though (around .6 of a Watt), but most are going to be transmitting at way less than that (more like 5 to 10 dBm). A phone will only raise the power it requires when it needs it though, so you can assume if you're in a low signal area, the phone's transmitting signal is likely to be as high as it is allowed (by FCC or whatever governing body). You probably already figured this, but it's also why your battery drains faster when you're in a low to no signal area.
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Nope. Samsung has blocked all means to do that without root for the foreseeable future and the additional security features added to Android 4.3 and 4.4 will likely make it always require root for Samsung devices until they add the desired network toggle feature themselves. If you really need that feature, you'll have to unfortuently root your device or use devices from other manufacturers (though some LG devices seem to be blocked now as well, but not the LG Nexus devices of course).
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Just me, though anyone with Android development experience or knows a spoken language other than English can contribute (Languages most viewed for the app seem to be English, Spanish, French, Polish, German, Portuguese (Brazil or Portugal), Chinese, Arabic and Russian (in no particular order). I've been slow to update and add features lately due to my 9-5 development job, but I've been making a few commits lately to the git repo on github.

Code for the app is on github and I can always use anyone willing to translate it for me to another language.

To start translating, sign up for an account at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/advanced-signal-info/ and then email or notify me here so I can add you to the project.

UPDATE (2015-05-01):

-1.5.1 changes -

► Regression fix network shortcut

UPDATE (2015-05-01):

-1.5 changes -

► I can't fix devices not working for the network settings shortcut because Samsung locks down their phones. Rooted Samsung devices generally work. Pick what is more important, network switching or owning a Samsung device

► bugfixes (crashed instead of telling user device was locked down)

► Translations for French & Spanish. Thank you contributors :)

► Updated Google libs (Lollipop issues)

► App is now written in Scala, yay. Source is on my Github. Questions on how to build it for anything other than Intellij IDEA 14 (Community or Ultimate) will be ignored.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
YaReally,

I've been using your app for a while now (currently v1.5.7) and I just ran across your XDA Thread and so I figured that I'd post here and say thank you and tell those maybe still just thinking about it, what I think about the app.

So first of all; THANK YOU!!! :)

Second of all, my "review" will be short, sweet and to the point! :)

This app is FREEKING AWESOME!!! Nothing out there gives anywhere near the amount of information that this app gives! And it's not just the one screen. Tap the "Additional Info" button and there's a few more screens full of info!

I love this app! Get it! You won't regret it! :)

Thanks again, Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Thanks :)

I'm slowing adding in more features. I spent a lot of time (wasted mostly) on trying to work around stupid things manufacturers like Samsung do to their devices, but I think I reached a dead end on it (also sort of burnt me out).

I'm currently adding in history for readings, so you can gather statistics over time in an area and see how it compares. It's a bit tricky, since I'd want to distinguish between locations, but it's coming along. I'd really like to make it track reception inside buildings with some sort of heatmap, but that's a bit off still, but it's on the list of features I'd love to have myself. Indoors would have to rely on accelerometer (sort of like a step counter) and wifi APs. I think it would be pretty neat to see where the deadspots are in your home or work though on a map.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
You're welcome and I look forward to any updates. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ToolWiz Privacy:
It's a useful tool, improve UI design would be better!:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Given that I'm a developer and I prefer functionality over fancy design, improving the UI is pretty far down on my priority list for things to add. No one hires me for my design skills, haha (though I can hold my own when I need to in that regard).

Could it be improved? Perhaps. I consider good UI/UX (user experience) important, but only when it makes sense to improve it.

How would it be improved? I don't know. It's a simple list of information geared more towards users that have at least a small understanding of what it does (i.e. there's more to reception than 4 bars on the top of a device). That's my intended user, since I like to use the app myself as well. Any UI changes would have to take into consideration that audience and avoiding frustrating them with more whitespace or other distracting things that take away from functionality.

Could it be more user friendly for novice users? Sure, it could be, but they're not really my target user and don't think most would consider the app useful (at least not with its current functionality).

When I add in more functionality, I'd definitely consider presentation of it important, but presentation complexity sort of scales up with how much a user interacts. Actual interaction is pretty low on the readings screen, so to me, makes sense to keep the UI minimal and concise.

If you have suggestions, feel free to leave them though.

Does anyone has solution to this . I somehow damaged radio on note 4 duos while using Advance signal status

http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28202
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
> As far as i know UMTS does not allow data connection.

That is correct. Your device will switch to HSPA for data.

Flash a different radio or reflash the one you are using. Radios are like their own little OS, so your previous steps to undo things may not have affected them.

Also check your APN records are accurate.

That will likely undo whatever you did, but if not, you'd probably need new a SIM card, since everything else should have wiped things back to a clean slate. Highly doubt you need to go that far though.

Malfunctioning SIM cards should be a free replacement, though my knowledge of carrier policies is only limited to the United States.

Samsung devices running Android 5.0 (lollipop) require a rooted device with SuperSU 2.49 beta or later in order to use the additional settings shortcut.

Dear developer!

Please make a widget to your program to quickly switch between networks.

The original text in Russian:

Уважаемый разработчик!

Сделайте пожалуйста виджет к вашей программе для БЫСТРОГО переключения между сетями.

Примерно так:
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Widget as most people would expect (including yourself and me) isn't really possible. Developers don't have direct access (even with root) to switch the network types on a device.

It could only be done through 1 of 2 ways:

1) Custom ROM. Given that my app isn't device specific and I'm not a ROM developer, that's no good.

2) Xposed framework. Xposed apps aren't allowed on the Android Market so that rules it out for me.

Гугл переводчик:

Виджет, как большинство людей было бы ожидать (в том числе себя и меня) на самом деле не возможно. Разработчики не имеют прямого доступа (даже с корнем) для переключения типов сети на устройстве.

Это может быть сделано только через 1 из 2 способов:

1) Пользовательский ROM. Учитывая, что мое приложение не конкретного устройства, и я не разработчик ПЗУ, что не хорошо.

2) база Экспоузд. Экспоузд приложения не допускаются на Android Market, так что правила его для меня.

Very cool app! Seems to be the only way to get per-band signal strength info on a Verizon S6. I'm glad I'm still rooted :).

Is there any way to deduce which LTE frequency band is being used?
[Android Apps and Games] yareally:
Unfortunately, there's no way at this time to figure out the band on an Android device via the Radio Interface Layer (RIL). If anyone ever finds out something I don't, feel free to tell me and I'll gladly add it.

Hi!

I just got my Xperia Mini Pro (a week ago).

I immediately flashed it with CM10 #146 and overall I'm satisfied with it's resoponsivness and performance. The only thing that worries me is horrible battery life, I just charged it this morning and now, about 6 hours later (20 mins of talking, about 15 messages) my battery's at 35%. I'm not using any data conenction, I have switched it to 2G only, my signal is strong, I have reduced screen brighness to about 75%, and I keep both BT and GPS off. I do use wifi, but that's like 10 mins a day. My phone came with a 1160mAh battery, which I know is not the most powerful one, but baraly 1 day of batteyr life in a brand new phone, and being forced to charge it every evening just scares me :)

Is this normal for these Xperias? My old Wildfire used to last about 2-2,5 days.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zhanjia:
Yes. It is normal for me. I charge my phone everyday.

You can lower your brightness or apply battery tweaks to preserve battery life :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hrafninn:
You can try another kernel, for instance MESA 2.2, and undervolt a bit. I get about 2 days of battery with that kernel and some init.d and build.prop tweaks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pan_pietrek:
I don't really fancy any of those ubertweaked-hardocre-v6-megaoptimized kernels and stuff. Cyanogen mod does the job for me, and I don't really want to "overtweak" antything :) I'm just gonna have to stick with what I have I guess.

I don't think that flashing it with stock FW (which I'd hate to do) will help it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pan_pietrek:
Christ... I don't get it... A friend of mine has an Xperia LWW with the same battery, the same CPU, and she charges it like three times a week, while I'm gonna have to charge it like seven times a week. It's just wrong. I hope that the battery will get a bit better over time, and I'll be able to use for at least 24h without looking for the charger.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pastillero:
Yeah man, but i guess she hasn´t flashed cm10... ROM consumes battery as well. If you were on stock firwmare as i guess she is, then you would have almost the same battery backup
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nimbold:
Always check that sync is off. Cause it will drop battery bar easily. Of course in case you don't need sync.

And check build.prop. there's 2-3 lines which will help the phone to deep sleep better. (Search xda)

I myself use aokp jb with messa kernel and with normal usage it takes me 1.5 day.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SarthakSL:
Best Comb

I respect all the developers but with due respect and personal opinion:

Kernel : Kernel PAnic v2.5(ICS) and Rage 3.0(GB)

ROM : Smultronic v 5.0(ICS) and Spartan v2.05(GB)

Brightness : 40%

Sync off

I get a usage of about 2 days on both of these roms...and if u are a light user i mean if u play no games them HyperBeamCream is really good for ICS.

well...1 day battery life is abt normal for our fones which have1200 mah battery,,,,can't help it:crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Saqib Nazm:
well the simplest way to take a step for solution is changing kernel to mesa cause with fxp 146 kernel there was a horrible battery drain for me also. Reduce the screen brightness & turn off 3g if u dont need it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] icarious:
i suggest mesa with CM10 too .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n4s:
You could also decrease processor speed in standby, I think normally it's 250 but you can put like 125.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] m4nz:
In cm10 mesa kernel does the job... It really saves the battery... And one more thing is that, give it some time... The battery will become normal after a few days of usage...

[HTC Sensation] Bizla:
Hello, Firstly Im new to XDA, I have looked around but cant find this question, But my apologies if its already been asked.

Im fairly new to the whole flashing android scene, Ive done it a few times to get the latest and greatest OS but thats about it.

Im currently running SuperXE build5 with clockworkMod recovery.

Everything is running brilliantly except I have very very low signal, I have always had bad signal where I live, but its usually sorted by just walkiing outside, But not with jellybean :L

Its a real struggle to find signal anywhere on my property now, and It got me thinking, My sensation is overclocked to 1.5GHz ondemand govenor (192min 1500max) and I figured that almost every part can be overclocked or boosted in some way by clever people who develop mods :P

I dont mind if it drains battery more by putting more power to the antenna, as long as I get signal lol, can anybody help with this?

If youve done it before with this or any other phone how was the overall experience and did you get much of a boost in signal?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help, With care, Bizla.

Hi,

Are you s-off?

What firmware,hboot,radio do you have?

Is this problem recent,or have you had this with all phones/ROMS?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Bizla:
Im not S-off, But I am rooted, Hboot is 1.27, I dont know about the others, where would I find them?

I have had the problem with low signal since I got this phone, It doesnt seem to be as strong as My previous htc magic with reception, Ive been running jelly bean for 2 days now, I also had very bad signal in stock ICS and android revolution HD.

thanks, Bizla.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you are s-on,then,you cannot change the radio or firmware.

I am not sure if you are able to change the ril.

It is worth a try.

Go to market,and get "Getril".

This will show if you have the best radio/ril combination,or show what might improve it.

Try it.

If not you would have to consider s-offing and changing the radio.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Bizla:
thank you very much, im installing the app right now, I'll let you know back here if it works, If not Then I will continue my quest for signal haha, I have found that its very difficult to get S-off with Hboot 1.27 as I cant use revolutionary to do it :S

Bizla.

p.s, It has came back with RIL/Baseband doesnt match, and yet it shows the recommended baseband as an older one that I currently have, but i'll download and install anyway and see how it does :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Baseband is radio.

You cannot install it with s-on.

You might brick trying it.

S-off is achievable for you.

Look HERE

:)
[HTC Sensation] Bizla:
Well somehow it worked (its now showing my baseband number as the recommended one) and I have 3 bars of signal xD before I have 0 bars on a good day ahha, I cant thank you enough malybru :D
