kory108 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A new jailbreak tweak was just released that shows the dBm in the iPhone status bar without the need to use the Apple Field Test screen workaround. There is also one for WiFi. I've tested out on my Sprint iPhone and it works as expected. Much easier than the field test workaround! Numeric GSM Enabler Numeric Wifi Enabler The tweaks can be found in Cydia and are enabled from the Settings app. http://modmyi.com/content/13687-how-easily-put-numeric-rssi-indicator-your-status-bar-wi-fi-cellular.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielholt Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 i love how -92dbm on an iphone is considered "3 dots/bars", and the same dbm reading is 1 bar of service on the N5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dots change more rapidly as your dBa reading worsens. For those that are curious, below is the dots/bars to dBa mapping iPhones use. I wasn't able to find similar information for the N5, but if anyone has it I think it may be interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
