FAQ
Network Signal Info Pro / Networl Signal Info
Cell has wrong values or is not in database ?
To get the location from a cell tower, Network Signal Info Pro send some data to a online
database and get back the locations values. The online database is from a third party
(http://locationapi.org) but some data can be wrong or some cell towers missing. The
online database is still growing.
When you get the message “cell has wrong values or is not in database” Network Signal
Info / Pro can not show the position of the cell tower, because no cell tower position data
could be determined.
Note: The database query is not free, when you find a free database with a online query
please let me no.
Since Version 2.50.00 Network Signal Info / Pro generate a own local celltower database.
Android 6, WLAN information, no MAC address, no frequency, no channel, no encryption ?
Since Android 6 Google has changed the permissions for WLAN scan information and your
privacy. The Mac address can no longer be read. To see your WLAN frequncy, channel and
encryption, you must enable your GPS location. The reason for this change? I don’t know.
Why no dual sim support ?
Network Signal Info / Pro does not support dual sim models, because the stock Android
have no API to get the information. Every manufacturer from dual sim phones have their
own solution. That is the reason why Network Signal Info / Pro can’t support dual sim
phones - unfortunately.
What means a positive 85 dBm on my device ?
On some devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S II/III, Galaxy Note ...) there is a positive dBm value
from 85. This value is incorrect. The error is generated by a modified modem firmware
from the mobile phone manufacturer.
The only thing what you can do is to wait on a firmware update. In the most cases with the
new firmware the problem is solved.
Under the Android menu \\Settings\About phones\Status you can see the mobile signal
strength. After visiting the menu the mobile value is taken from my app, but with no
refresh.
Can not find any widgets ?
You must copy the app back to phone memory. Than you can find the widgets. This “bug”
exists only on older Android versions.
Where can I find the log files ?
The log files are stored under following path:
\\sdcard\NetworkSignal\log_wifi_net_+date+_.csv
\\sdcard\NetworkSignal\log_mobile_net_+date+_.csv
The file format is .csv (text file) with a “,” as delimiter. With this info you can import the file
e.g. with Microsoft Excel.
Note: You must IMPORT the file with Excel, not OPEN it.

Why does the app need LOCATION PERMISSION and why does the
PERMISSIONS need to be approved?
This is unfortunately due to Google. As of November this year, all apps published
in the Google Play Store must be compiled with the target SDK 28 (Android 8). As
a result, certain permissions need to be acknowledged by the user and location
tracking must be enabled to obtain WLAN scan results. Widget problem is solved
too in the new version.
Android 6 - Can not delete known Wi-Fi-network ?
Unfortunately, since Android 6 is it no longer possible to delete known Wi-Fi networks,
unless the network has been connected previously with this application.
Can not find any widgets ?
You must copy the app back to phone memory. Than you can find the widgets. This “bug”
exists only on older Android versions.
After select any other tab as the main tab, the app open the new tab and close it
immediately ?
Go to the the Android menu ...
\\Settings\Developer options\Don’t keep activities
... and unmark it.
Can not find the “tacho signal meter” on the WLAN Info tab ?
After touch the screen you can find a slider on the bottom. Pulling the slider up an you can
activate the “tacho”.
Android 6, can not see any WLAN ?
Since Android 6 Google has changed the permissions for WLAN scan results. GPS location
must be enabled. Enable “YOUR LOCATION” and you can scan your environmant. The
reason for this change? I don’t know.
Android 6, no MAC address, no frequency, no channel, no encryption ?
Since Android 6 Google has changed the permissions for WLAN scan information and your
privacy. The Mac address can no longer be read. To see your WLAN frequency, channel and
encryption, you must enable your GPS location. The reason for this change? I don’t know.
