It comes from the FSO library that allows access to the GSM hardware ( http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.GSM.Monitor.html;hb=HEAD#GetNeighbourCellInformation ). In cellhunter, signal strength is defined as "(rxlevel / 2) +2" where rxlevel is Recieved Field Level as a percentage. So 25 would be almost half strength? I'm getting values between 12 and 18 so that's not very good but my phone service isn't always stable.

There are some tools for accessing the Cellhunter database at the bottom of the website - http://ch.omoco.de/cellhunter/ I think you would have to download the CSV GPS and plot/filter the points to find which cell covers which house. > Has cell on one house only one MNC, or are there splits for the provider? Each SIM card can only pick up one MNC/network but one house may be covered by several networks/MNC. > > Thanks > > Walery ;o) > > -- > Follow me: > http://twitter.com/walery > > _______________________________________________ > support mailing list > support@lists.openmoko.org > https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support > _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
