Is there a jailbreak tweak that allows me to see the signal strength of 1x, 3G, and LTE in the upper deck? Similar to Android phones with SignalCheck installed...

yes download signal2... But that won't put it in that status bar it will just lay it all out on the table for u

I believe it's just an edit to an option, forgive because I don't know much more than that.

I've had it in dbm for months now, just wishing I could get each individual band to show, not just one.

I think a Nexus 5 is in the cards for me soon. Can't abandon Apple entirely, but honestly this site makes me want to run Android just for the LTE fun that can be had. 

I have seen very few Android phones other than Samsung that easily show you the LTE band UARFCN that is in use. I know it's easy to find on the Galaxy line of devices, but good luck with any other brand, it's a total crapshoot.  Some brands have field test/engineering mode, some don't. And the ones that do, don't show UARFCN.  NONE of the apps I've seen in the Play Store show you the LTE band.

But more power to ya if the Nexus shows you the UARFCN.  What use is it if it only shows you the Cell ID and dBm?  I want to know the exact UARFCN that is in use so I can tell which LTE frequency my phone is camping on.  That is a critical piece of information when trying to determine connection problems, and every model of iPhone across the board is guaranteed to give you the UARFCN in the field test.

This is the only benefit to an iPhone for how I use my device.  It sometimes makes me envious.  And then I remember an iPhone doesn't meet my 3,217 other needs as a wireless nerd.  But that is a great feature.  I also like how iOS shows the carrier width of the channel connected to.   :tu:

3,217 of them?? Please, go into further detail... I gotta know what I'm missing out on!! :angry:

OK, I may have exaggerated a little. I use an iPhone for work. So I do get all the Apple I desire.

I do know one thing he misses, and that's his Google Voice integration.

Just FYI, UARFCN is a W-CDMA thing.  EARFCN is for LTE.  Yes, the distinction is basically semantic, but 3GPP follows a lot of conventions that I dislike.

Oh cool yet another iPhone thread crapped on.

With Tapatalk, it can be easy to miss that you're in an Apple thread. My apologies.

I have my phone jailbroken and when I go in Cydia to get Signal 2, it keeps telling me "This product is not supported on your iOS version.". Can Someone Help me figure out how others are able to get this, but I am not? I have an iphone 5s running 7.0.4 (11B554a)

The problem he is having is when he goes to the Cydia page for the app, it comes up with that unsupported error. Along with that warning, it also does not let him hit "Install", it is only going to give him a "Recheck" button where the install button would normally be.

      My hope is they can spot something in the data that was exported. I am going after all 4 carriers on a multitude of phones and Android versions. My S24 did work.  I have not checked another S24 or S22.  S21s failed which are on Android 14 as well. It should be noted I did not reboot after updates and some of the data was captured on the prior update. Data from some new Boost Mobile Dish (Echostar) sites in the Wheeling area did make it in. Was hoping for more SA data from the duo. Many of the phones are just LTE.

      I was traveling for a couple of days.   Sunday evening, I upload from 3 phones.  A S-22 and two Moto 5G phones.  Everything looked ok.    How do we explain that?   One person has issues and another person does not.  All my phones have the latest update.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!
