Real Signal

Real Signal is a diagnostic monitoring tool designed for Android devices. It provides a persistent, customizable signal bar in your notification area, allowing you to accurately gauge your signal strength. This feature is especially useful when your device's signal indicators are not reflecting the true signal power, which is a common issue with many smartphone brands. By utilizing Android’s raw GSM or CDMA signal data, you can receive more accurate signal strength readings in decibel-milliwatts (dBm), offering better insights into your connection quality.

Customizable Signal Thresholds

One of the main advantages of Real Signal is its customizable signal threshold settings, which can be manually or automatically adjusted. This app empowers you to tailor the graphical bar scale to suit your specific requirements. A default bar scale suitable for Samsung and HTC devices is provided, but users can adapt the settings for different brands such as Motorola, which might display signals differently. Additionally, Real Signal offers an auto-adjust feature that sets the bar-scale ranges based on recorded signal strengths after you travel through areas with varying signal qualities. This flexibility ensures that your device presents the most accurate signal information possible.

User Guidance and Best Practices

To achieve optimal performance from Real Signal, it is advised to calibrate the app by moving through areas with both weak and strong signals before setting the automatic thresholds. This will help establish precise baseline readings that you can adjust further if needed. A key tip for users is to avoid leaving GPS tracking enabled unnecessarily, as this can drain your battery life rapidly. The GPS receiver, not Real Signal itself, is the primary cause of significant battery usage in such cases.

Real Signal provides you with an essential tool for monitoring and understanding your device’s signal reception more accurately without altering the actual signal strength.
