Hi, I'm developing an application for Windows Mobile. I got stuck in the problem that I tried to get all the CellIds and Signal Strength of all the nearby Base Stations of my PPC. I tried the RIL but just could get strongest signal strength of 1 base station (I believe). So my question is that : is there a way or method so that enables me to scan all the nearby base stations with their signal strength? I would appreciate much if someone can help.
Thank you.

I know its kind of against how cellular is designed to work but I am in a situation where a sprint signal is only barely(0 bars) available and it decides to roam (with the triangle) to a uscellular signal. The problem is that its constantly trying to stay on the sprint signal, realizing that the connection isn't good enough and goes back to the uscellular signal and is just killing performance and battery. Is there any prl update or fix I can make with the evo to just stay on the uscc signal and forget about the crappy sprint signal at this location instead of hopping between the two? Ideally I'd like something automatic but I would even settle for a toggle. The uscellular signal is a repeater that was installed at my workplace. For example, in battery status my evo; the cell standby is at 39%
I am having the EXACT same issue in my office. The repeater signal in my office (850 MHz so it only repeats Verizon / AT&T / T-Mobile) is -70 dBm (full bars on my phone). The Sprint signal from outside through the foot thick cement walls is -102 or worse dBm (aka 1-0 bars). Why the hell will the phone not consistently stay on the higher power signal??
The techknowfile trick is NOT the solution to this problem. This seems like a problem with the phone itself - the whole point of a multi-band phone with free roaming is it should always pick the best signal (in my opinion).
I tried the techknowfile trick as well with no luck. Maybe a different prl? I used the 40060.prl file suggested.
Is Android any better than windows as far as signal reception? coz mine is really bad only get a low G signal most of the time. I have standard settings as shown and with virgin ,live in west sussex
Since the actual gsm phone hardware (radio) is seperate from the hd2 hardware and it is controlled by the radio rom, Android won't probably have any difference. Only signal bar "reporting" or 3g - 2g switch threshold "may" change and that is software.
Note: radio does not mean fm radio.
I get better call quality and reception in windows...
I was wondering if it is at all possible to repeat a cellular network signal using a cellphone. Is such a thing possible?
I am talking about using an application on any cellphone on any network, with any OS. Are cellphones built in any way to rebroadcast cellular network signal? If not an app, does anyone have any generalized DIY information on gutting a phone and using it's internal antennae to rebroadcast the cellular signal in some way?
Example scenario: Cellphone is in a location that has full signal strength. Less than 5 meters away there is 0 signal due to a ceiling of doom. The cellphone has horizontal line of sight to the dead-zone. The cellphone in the full bars area by means of an app (or some hardware modification) is able to rebroadcast the signal to some degree towards the dead-zone.
Thanks!
Would be pretty cool, but I doubt any cell phone has a built in transmitter, which is what you need to transmit the signal.

You are using avian carrier for your uplink?
Hello Seniors,
Wanted to know that is there any application which will show the signal strength (in some number) of all the network provider in my area.
Say, I have a Vodafone sim and in my area there are 5-6 different operators. So is there any way where I can check that in my house, out of all the mobile providers whose signal is the strongest?
So I am looking for a tool which will check the strength of all and then I can come to some conclusion.
Again, there is no network signal map which is available in my area, so need to depend on some app or some software etc.
Looking forward for your guidance.
Regards,
Anoop.
There is an app called as Network Info II on the playstore. It gives you the strength of the signal for the sim that is currently registered thru the phone on the network.
It wont give for other available networks..
May be somebody else can suggest some other app..

Hello, I am a rural pediatrician who lives near lots of trees. My note is my emergency contact. But I also can link to my office and the hospital. Over the years, the signal strength in the area seems worse. My WIFI link for anything on line is terrible. Is there a way to boost the signal by attaching wires between R1 and R2?
