Simple question:
Q: Which app do you use on iOS or Android to figure out all the cellular towers and signal strengths of the cellular signal (CDMA or GSM) in your area? Q: Does that app show you *all* the towers that your phone can see (or does it only show the one tower that your phone is connected to)? On Android, I am currently testing these GSM/CDMA signal strength apps, where you can see my actual screenshot results in the photos below. 01 Network Cell Info Lite, version 3.30: http://i.cubeupload.com/HoKTav.jpg http://wilysis.com/networkcellinfo https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...s.cellinfolite 02 Network Signal Info, version 3.63.01: http://i.cubeupload.com/2zK8Ys.jpg https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...android.telnet 03 GSM Signal Monitoring, version 4.02: http://i.cubeupload.com/V9O0Gg.jpg https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...almonitorin g 04 Netmonitor, version 1.2.15: http://i.cubeupload.com/TfDJaS.jpg https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ene.netmonitor 05 CellID Info:, version 1.2.2: http://i.cubeupload.com/X3gsfb.jpg https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ere.cellidinfo 06 RF Toolbox (Cell Monitor), version 2.26: http://i.cubeupload.com/y2YfEV.jpg https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...apps.rftoolbox 07 WiGle WiFi Wardriving (which also reports cellular towers): http://i.cubeupload.com/ZPva3O.jpg https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...e.wigleandroid 08. OpenSignal, version 5.10: http://i.cubeupload.com/BwfSFa.jpg https://opensignal.com/app/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...se3.opensignal etc. On iOs, I looked for similar apps, and found this: 01 OpenSignal, version 4.0.5 (but it doesn't seem to report the nearby tower and signal strength): http://i.cubeupload.com/rmPsVg.jpg https://itunes.apple.com/app/opensignal/id598298030 The one bad thing is that all these apps only show one cellular tower, even though I know I have *two* microtowers inside my house, so, I think I need to find a better app which will show *all* the cellular towers it sees. To that end, I ask this scientific debugging question: Q: Which app do you use on iOS or Android to figure out all the cellular towers and signal strengths of the cellular signal (CDMA or GSM) in your area? Q: Does that app show you *all* the towers that your phone can see (or does it only show the one tower that your phone is connected to)? |
