About Mobile Signal Widget

PLEASE NOTE:
There is an issue with Gingerbread 2.3.3 that prevents Mobile Signal Widget from working correctly. There is nothing I can do to fix this; the problem is with the Android API.

Mobile Signal Widget PRO now available!

PRO version includes transparency option, new 2x1 widget and more. Check it out in the market.

Shows real-time mobile signal strength in dBm, operator, network type and Wi-Fi signal.

NEW - Unfreeze! Widgets. Tap a frozen widget to get it going again.

Works fine on Galaxy Nexus. Let's me see exactly how crappy Verizon's coverage is near me.

T70%
by T####:

I'm running android 2.3.5 and it won't show the signal strength. Must be a galaxy s2 thing as none of the widgets I have tried have worked...

Unfreez widget?? It should just work if you add a button to unfreeze that makes it stupidly redundant!!! I dont want to touch it i just want it to be there showing me my signal.

T70%
by T####:

Pointless not accurate when in low signal areas. It says I have nothing but I'm still making calls and getting online.

by T####:

One of the best apps for my desire! Thanks to dev for making it! Too bad my country (Croatia) doesn't have paid apps on market so i can't go pro.. :(

T70%
by T####:

Good app, but doesn't appear to be supported anymore. Its been years since its past update. Doesn't recognize newer network types like LTE.

T70%
by T####:

Works great on Galaxy S and v2.2. The sad smiley face should be orange/red for low/no signal conditions. Make it happen mr. developer... pronto.

Had always been the most useful & most elegant app on all 3 of my phones going back like 6 years! Should Come Installed from Factory. C'mon guy!, yeah Google s ux for changing their APIs, but pls repair it for Marshmallow, pls pls pls. Formerly AMAZING.

by T####:

Reports incorrect signal and connection mode nearly 100% of the time. Wrong info is worse than no info. No response from vendor. Fail!

H70%
by H####:

The HSDPA icon is too big and obscures the signal bars. Would be good if there are colours to indicate : 1) signal strength 2) Uploading/downloading data

T70%
by T####:

Waste of time. There's nothing to this stupid widget!!

S70%
by S####:

Therefore you add it to your home screen by long pressing anywhere on your home screen and clicking add and then widget. Scroll till you see this.

If you have a mytouch 4g this is perfect. Speed test has its inconsistent tests just like everything else butthis simply tells you edge/3/4g. Done.

by T####:

Love this widget its helping me debug the lg esteem issues. 5* for making it a widget and not an app :) ;)

T70%
by T####:

Works well. I want a 4G icon for Sprint, please. There seems to be a second or two delay in display updating. But that's minor. HTC Evo 4G.

M70%
by M####:

Anychance we could get an update to recognize 4G lte ? As of now it thinks it doesn't have service when connected to it.

T70%
by T####:

I used to like this widget but on my new SGS2 the signal sits at 0 dBm. The author of a similar app ascribes this to an S2 bug.

B70%

Shows phone as having no signal . Tried restarting phone, but still doesn't work. : (

Great-looking mobile signal widget.Sits on my main homescreen at all times. Tyvm ;)

R70%
by R####:

I love how so many people are complaining that a WIDGET doesn't open. Widgets don't open. Learn how to use a widget before give bad reviews.

Pro version doesn't work. Won't show AT&T signal. I'm running Android 4.4.

R70%
by R####:

had this for a few days on my galaxy S3 and always tells me I've got no or next to no signal. maybe needs an update to work on ice cream sandwich. shame

R70%
by R####:

Often says I have no signal when I have 3 or 4 bars. Appears to give lower than actual signal strength overall. Htc thunderbolt on verizon.

K70%
by K####:

Very disappointing. Free version has most features disabled and has a spammy ad/link.

R70%
by R####:

Doesnt work at all I have signal but it shows nothing

R70%
by R####:

Seems to be OK on my Nexus 4 (4.2.2). Haven't tested it with 3G because there ain't much of that round here. More useful than the rather optimistic built-in display on the status bar.

U70%
by U####:

It's not application, so it won't open. It is widget. So, don't make the rating bad because u don't know how to use it.

Good widg...does what it uppose to do. And doesn't kill battery lvl..

R70%
by R####:

Great way to tell if I'm getting HSPA or 3G! Would be 5 stars if the E/3G/H didn't randomly disappear.

R70%
by R####:

Doesn't work on my LG Optimus M The dBm number never changes, and I always have a little frowny-droid. Uninstalled.

I70%
by I####:

Can this widget recognize the difference between HSPDA and HSPA+ if it does then im buying

R70%
by R####:

I want to like this so bad, but it is junk. I don't want to have to tap to unfreeze it just to use it.

R70%
by R####:

Great app but does not work with Verizon LTE

Q70%

Works great on my droid x. Paid version has more options.
