numeric signal meter?

**orangekid** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-05-2010, 11:50 AM

Is there a way for me to have a constant numeric signal meter so that when adjusting an external antenna I can see immediate numeric signal change (either get worse or better)? Either an app or setting would be much appreciated as long as it's accurate

This is for a diamond running the latest OMJ Diamond 6.5 ROM 21895.

Do you mean instead of seeing 3 bars you see the "3"?

no more like 63 (assuming it's 3 out of 5 bars which is roughly 60%). My iPhone has a 1-100 numeric signal option (jailbroken of course), figured winmo 6.5 had something similar

ahh okay, that might be a little more difficult. I'll look around.

How about using the FieldTest application?
I believe it's in the main Windows folder.

I did some searching and it looks like on sprint if you dial ##DEBUG# you can get to the field test app. I think...

that would be correct, I just don't know what to look for in there.
