nahum365 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 iOS has long needed an app to display info about the cellular connection- we have Field Test but it's rather hard to type in *3001#12345#* while driving. So, I made CellularInfo. Supports all iPhones on iOS 8.2 and below. For now it simply displays most of the information from the "Serving Cell Info" section of Field Test. It's in a (closed) beta at the moment. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 An awesome start! What do you think is causing the weird bandwidth measurement? Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk 3.1.1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 That's a beautiful sight. I actually like the layout of that widget. Do you have any shots of the actual app? Sent from my iPhone 6+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahum365 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 An awesome start! What do you think is causing the weird bandwidth measurement? Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk 3.1.1 Probably just my interpretation of the data I got from iOS. It was just giving me one number, so I assumed I needed to split it in half to get a download/upload measurement. I now realize that that's not the case. That's a beautiful sight. I actually like the layout of that widget. Do you have any shots of the actual app? Sent from my iPhone 6+ I do, but Tapatalk image uploading seems to be broken, not sure why. The app looks exactly like the widget right now though.EDIT: Imgur'd it: http://i.imgur.com/qmvRJUTl.png It ain't pretty.

WiWavelength Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Just FYI, mikejeep holds at least the de facto trademark on "SignalCheck" for a mobile app. So, no offense, but staff must consult and decide how to handle this thread.

S4GRU Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm completely willing to change the name, of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I applaud your efforts. mikejeep has said in the past he doesn't have the resources to do an iOS app. So I don't believe he will be anything other than happy that you work on the project. I think he has even encouraged others to do it. However, the use of the SignalCheck name is completely up to him. Hopefully he will weigh in with his thoughts soon. Maybe he even will want to work with you on it? I make no promises, of course. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony.spina97 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 "Cellular Info" is a short, simple name that comes to mind. -Anthony 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamisonshaw125 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It can be named unicorns of happiness for all I care. As long as I can get the thing.

twospirits Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The name should be different since it is done by another developer. The following are name suggestions might might work... ICheckSig or iCheckSig iOSignal or iOSignalCk i for iOS and the rest is self explanatory. TS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like putting i in front of things. I'm sure CellularInfo will be fine. A search in Cydia & the App Store doesn't produce any results that could cause an issue. EDIT: I don't seem to be able to edit my original post, but can a mod at least change the title to something like "CellularInfo for iOS: Coming Soon"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Do we have anyone that knows how to build a custom carrier bundle, or knows how to modify the stock one to do different things? Since we're all jail breaking/re-jail breaking, I'd like to see if my band switching problem can be resolved with something custom built. Maybe if the thresholds can be changed to switch to band 26 sooner? Let me know; I'd be willing to pay a little bit for one.

Deval Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Here's a question since you're an Apple developer. Is the iOS environment that closed off that you can't develop a non-jailbreak version of this? I'd love to get this running on my iPhone, but it is tied to Airwatch and I don't want IT to give me a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
