Comparision of Signal Strengths of Nokia Mobiles?

Hi all!
I'm looking forward to by a Nokia Cellphone. I'm living in a house with less signal strengths and I'm not looking forware that the providers will support more signal power in the near future. During the call is the signal or the voice clear understandable and sometimes not. Sometimes I can have a call for more than a minute and sometimes the connection is unlikly interrupted.
My questions:
1) Exists a list or ranking with types of cellphones have the best power/performance connecting to a GSM net?
2) Can you recommend a Nokia model for my signal challange!?
THANX for your help
Hannes

Hi,
Sorry for not including the VI. Also i am facing issues with DAQ assist. How shall i connect the subtracted wave which is analog to digital and get it on the M series device. Also I have done some readthrough on the diffferent ways of generating PWM. But I would like to try in this way. Is is possible using DAQ assist

  • Help requried in a software project regarding signal strength  and tower ID

    I am the Student of FAST (Foundation for Advencement of Science and Technology ) Karachi,Pakistan.
    I am doing BS in computer science form here. { final year ( 7th semister ) }
    currently I am doing a software Project regarding mobiles.
    the main theme of my project is[b] to locate a mobile in an area without using the GPS technology .I have thougt to do it with the help of signal strengths and tower ID's of neighboring towers. With the help of these two things I will make some mathemetical calculations {for example triangulation or something else } to know where is the mobile at this point in time.
    Initially i would implement it on client side .
    are there any APIs that can tell at least 3 stongest cell IDs and their respective signal strengths from which mobile is getting signals; be useful to me in this regard !
    for this i need your help ,to guide me how to move forword with this project
    I am sure you would be kind enough to help me out
    thanks in advance

    There is no api for that, that I know of...

  • 701 Mobile Signal Strength

     I have just bought this phone and started using it but it seem to have a weak network signal strength
     I am in UK on O2 and in some areas have have low or no signal.
     When at home I have only 1 bar showing and sometimes no signal but  a Nokia 7230 and Samsung Galaxy Ace have 4 bars or full signal when all placed together.
     Is it that this Phone was  for use outside UK ?
    Anybody else had this issue in UK with this Phone

  • Signal strength problems with n80

    hi all
    have just upgraded from samsung d600 to nokia n80. phone works brilliant and have had none of the problems others seem to have had. even the battery lasts for upto 3 days with on/off usage media player etc.
    my problem is that my signal is very weak in areas where the samsung was very strong. i work in a shop and the phone is next to useless as i cant even get 1 bar. outside its fine. compared to my mrs d500, if you put the phones side by side she can have 3 bars where i have 1 bar.
    can any of you bright sparks explain why and what can be done. ive tried those cheap signal boosters but no improvement. please help before i bung it on ebay

  • Does the Note 4 have better signal strength than the Note 3?

    I have a note 3 that continually drops calls and bounces from 4 bars to 1 bar over the course of time with the phone being stationary.  I believe my problems started with the last software update (as documented in numerous forums) but both Verizon and Samsung give no credibility to problems raised on internet forums.  The people on these forums apparently "lack technical expertise" was my take on their explanation. 
    So far they, Verizon, is following exactly the same course of action to try to correct my issues as other folks have stated they tried with tech support.  Replacement of the SIM card did nothing.  Software reflash is next followed by a factory reset with no additional apps allowed to download to the phone. 
    I have not looked at a Note 4 nor do I know anyone that has one so I am reaching out for information.  What is the Note 4 running for software and if you owned a Note 3 previously did you experience signal strength issues where you felt you shouldn't have?  If you had, or have, weak signal strength were you able to compare it to another android phone on the same carrier to see if the problem was specific to you phone?
    I understand the bars are not the best indication of signal strength but they are a quick indication.  Under the mobile networks I usually have -100+ dBm and 30 +asu.  If it is a software caused problem neither Verizon or Samsung knows anything about it which is good news because they should be able to correct it.  I have my doubts the people on the forums are the crackpots they make them out to be.  I suggested they are people like me who are desperate for help with a problem Verizon gave up on. 
    If the Note 4 is better I know what to ask for when they hit the end of the road with me.  That will happen software and reset wise in the next week then I am off to "getting someone else's problem phone" sent to me for a swap.  Last time they tried this the junk phone they sent didn't even recognize the sim card! 
    Thanks for any facts you can provide about your experience with the Note 3 and Note 4 as related to signal strength in both areas with strong and marginal service.

    I have an iPhone 6 on Sprint for work and it stinks, I don't like the service or the phone.  Had an iPhone 5s prior and although I didn't care for it it was still better than the 6.
    I had a software reflash done at Best Buy and a factory reset at Wireless world.  Reflash went smooth but I should have done the factory reset myself or had Best Buy do it.  It will take me days to get the phone back to where I had it.  Kies software from Samsung does backup the phone but you lose all the changes you have made to the Home screens and some other apps need attention to get them functional. 
    Signal strength remains the same but need to use it for a few days to know if it still drops calls and breaks up.  If it does next on the list is running in safe mode for a few days to see if an app is causing it.  If the problem still persists I have the choice of replacing it with insurance, money out of my pocket.  Sending it to Samsung for testing and repair (if necessary), or having Verizon send a replacement refurbished phone.  Probably will go with the refurbished phone and hang on to mine for a few days as well.  If the refurb isn't any better I will return it and then send mine to Samsung. 
    According to Wireless World the insurance company will pay me for my phone if I trade it in before a year is up.  May get up to 50% of full retail.  Not sure what to trade it in for if I go that route.

  • Iphone in Great Britian discovers Apple tech problem - Signal Strength -

    November 25, 2007
    Signal trouble: British iPhone mystery
    Is O2’s network to blame, or Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone?
    That’s the question posed by more than a few British iPhone owners who purchased the device in the past two weeks and have been struggling ever since to get decent telephone reception on it.
    The problem surfaced two days after the phone went on sale in the U.K. when “Matlock” in Derbyshire started a discussion thread on Apple’s support board entitled “UK 02 (poor signal strength/reception problems)”:
    My iphone can barely pick up even the slightest signal, although on occasion can pick up 3 ars, only for it to drop out again. I have two other 02 phones, a Sony Erricson and a Nokia n95 with no reception problems at all. Is anyone experiencing same problem with their iphone, I would like to hear from you. (link)
    Two weeks later, Matlock’s query has received more than 100 replies (and 3,723 pageviews), most of them registering similar complaints. Some users found that reinstalling the software made a difference. When others returned their phones for new ones, the problem went away (although some reported that the new phones were no better).
    Definitive U.K. sales figures are not available, but O2 reported that it sold “tens of thousands” of iPhones the first weekend it was available.
    Several posters on the Apple discussion board volunteered that unlike the complainants, they were getting great reception on their iPhones. And many owners with signal problems expressed pleasure with how well the device performed its other functions.
    But unlike American iPhone owners, who tend to blame any reception headaches on AT&T’s (T) cellular network, the assumption in the U.K. seems to be that the signal problem is Apple’s. The impression is reinforced by O2, which has been referring callers directly to the manufacturer.
    One clue is that many British iPhone owners can, like Matlock, compare the signal strength on their iPhone with other cellphones using the same network (one user even posted photos showing the phones side by side). Another is that the indicator on the iPhone tends to jump to five bars as soon as it is placed in the charging dock, which suggests that the problem is battery related. As user Richard Catledge points out:
    It says in the manual that phone signal is adjusted to the minimum power when not in use, just enough to detect the incoming pings, then it will power up to get the best quality call. It is digital, so as long as the signal power is strong enough to reconstruct at the other end, more power is pointless. I suspect this is what you are seeing, or a slightly flakey implementation.
    Meanwhile, the consensus on the discussion board is that unhappy owners should let Apple know. Writes one user who posts as ::…SAM…::,
    The only way to get anything done about it is if people that have poor signal problems is to take your phone back and get it replaced. The more phones they get back, the sooner they will do something to fix the problem. Emails and complaints are fine, they can be put in a folder, high handset return numbers cant be so easy to hide under the rug.
    Thanks to InformationWeek’s Alexander Wolfe for the link. See his report here.

    Interesting post. My previous phone was an 02 XDA Exec, a smart phone based upon a common handset (forget which one), but the smart phone before that was the same. They all had one thing in common - poor reception.
    tbh, I think its an inherent problem with smart phones. However, with my iPhone I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary really. Its better than the XDA, at least the iPhone doesn't drop out completely!
    But compare it to a normal handset and the normal handset will normally have a much better reception strength.

  • My nano SIM works in my Nokia mobile phone but "No SIM" when in my iPad mini

    I've been around the support loop a few times with varying levels of success, here is my story.
    Basically I expect to only occasionally require mobile data services so would like to move my nano SIM from my Nokia mobile phone to the iPad mini as and when required. I have a 500Mb data allowance on my current contract with Vodafone UK which I never use but would like to access with my iPad mini.
    The first time I tried it worked! I never tried to surf using it but it registered with Vodafone UK OK and had a good signal level. The second time “No SIM” or “SIM not installed” popup at bootup.
    Now irrespective of contracts, tariffs, data plan etc I expect the iPad mini to recognise there as being a SIM present every time and never give “No SIM” except of course when there isn’t one physically in the thing.
    Playing along to support and forum suggestions I’ve done a couple of device resets (software reinstalls) and various setting resets. But still “No SIM”.
    I’ve also spoken with Vodafone UK and am investigating whether this is in fact some restriction where they’ve restricted the technology so SIM swapping is not allowed. My Nokia E51 is not locked as have had it years.
    I just cannot get past the “No SIM” message though!

    Do have the details as to why that is?
    The single time it recognised the nano SIM and showed as being connected to Vodafone UK I tried to ring it to see what would happen, it just rang out until voicemail picked up but nothing happened on the iPad mini whatsoever.

  • Mid 2010 iMac Wifi signal strength issue

    I am having issues maintaining a robust Wifi signal on my 21.5 inch 2010 iMac with 10.6.5 installed.
    my symptoms are very similar to what is described in this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2596933&tstart=0
    in addition to that I am experiencing the following symptoms:
    can't print to HP wireless printer
    remote app for iphone doesn't find the iMac
    mobile mouse remote app doesn't find the iMac
    can't ping the iMac from Windows laptops on the same subnet or from the router itself
    accumulation of send and receive errors in Network Utility
    these symptoms occur after the machine has been connected to wifi for 30 minutes or so. Turning off Airport and turning it back on temporarily fixes the issue. the Mac firewall is turned off.
    as reported in the post mentioned above, signal strength for my Windows laptops and other devices is consistently -25 but the iMac signal strength fluctuates wildly.
    One more troubleshooting step that I have taken is to install Windows 7 on a boot camp partition to rule out the iMac hardware and physical location as the issue. While booted into Windows the iMac did not exhibit any of the above symptoms and held a steady -25 strength signal.
    Lastly I am using a TrendNet Wireless N Access Point but have also tried an Apple Extreme and Express (both N). I've tried 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz on various channels. I've even tried dialing down to G mode.
    I've read other posts about DNS settings, Static instead of DHCP addressing, etc. and none of these has solved this issue.
    Thoughts anybody? TIA

    Update concerning additional troubleshooting steps that I have taken.
    1) did a clean install of OS 10.6.3 onto an external drive and managed to replicate the issue....so that rules out apps, preference files, etc.
    2) managed to get a little bit more stability by setting up an Airport Express in 5Ghz mode with Interference Robustness turned on and the multicast rate set at 9Mbps....of course ios devices don't do 5Ghz so I still have to run another AP...so not an acceptable solution.
    What else do I need to do to prove that it's a Mac OS software issue?

  • Unable to connect to Fon when signal strength is l...

    Hi. I am new and this is my first post, so please be gentle with me.
    I signed up to BT so that I could make use of the mobile WiFi from Fon & Openzone while away in my motorhome. If I get a realy strong signal I have no trouble using the service, however, if I am only showing a signal strength of say 50% I cannot sign up to use the service. Although I am quite happy to put up with a slow connection, I do not have that choice as I cannot get to the log-in page to sign in.
    Am I doing something wrong or is there something I can do when this happens?

    Not always the case John. A weak signal that is stable can and does work. I feel that the OP may in inside their motorhome (aluminium) which would affect the signal.....

    Hi Geoff and welcome
    It should work at 50%. Are you using a laptop with a built in wifi card or a plug in USB wifi adapter?
    Via a built in card - If the signal drops have you tried sitting near a window or an open door to rule out your motorhome itself from degrading the signal.
    USB adapter - Have you tried using a USB extension lead(s) that you can fix the adapter in a window to maximise the signal strength.
    Clearly in both cases you would need to be facing the direction of the signal.

  • How to measure LTE signal strength?

    Ive used LabView for years but have been away a while.  so much is new.    Can the USRP be used for testing LTE mobile signal strength? and decode various fields like mibs and sibs? signal to noise?  CIR?  if not, is there something that is able to?
    thanks 

    Hello Bradley,
    Here is a short video showcasing one application involving NI Software Defined Radio for an 8x8 LTE MIMO, along with an article describing the application:
    http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-2864
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14311/en
    http://electronicdesign.com/4g/getting-ready-8x8-mimo
    There is a lot of additional information about USRP available at the following sites:
    http://www.ni.com/sdr/
    http://www.ni.com/usrp/
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/8787/en
    Note that the LTE application above utilized the FlexRIO with FPGA in their system.  Using the FPGA allows you to fully customize your I/O to match the needs of your application, such as ensuring you have the bandwidth to handle LTE.  USRP products have tunable center frequency options from 50 MHz to 6 GHz, which includes the frequency spectrum of LTE measurements.  What exactly do you want to try and do with USRP and LTE?  Are there any products in particular that you are interested in?

  • Displaying signal strength stats on an N95

    Does anybody know of a relatively easy way to do this?
    I want to compare my N95 8Gb to my HTC Hero and would like to find a way of getting my N95 to just display accurate signal strength stats. I can easily do this on my Hero, but it seems to be a big secret with the N95.
    I'm not a developer, I don't know Python and I don't know how to sign apps - I've already seen those suggestions before.
    Any ideas?

  • IPhone 5s call signal strength is 3 bars and my calls are breaking up?

    I switched from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5s and now my iPhone signal strength is 3 bars and my calls are breaking up? what gives?
    I live on top of a hill in a major metropolitan city and my carrier has always been Verizon and my call signal strength has always been 5 bars and occassionally on a cloudy rainy day I had 4 bars. Since upgrading to the 5s my call signal strength at my home has never gone past 3 bars even when Wi-Fi is connected. When W-Fi is turned off and LTE service kicks in, the call signal strength flutters between 2-3 bars and if I am on a call, the person on the other end is telling me I am breaking up.  This has never happened with my iPhone 4, my iPhone 4s.  Is anyone else noticing signal problems?

    I am also having the same exact issue. I had an iPhone 4S with Sprint servince and always had at least 4 bars of service (4 dots after iOS7 upgrade) and I am now fluctuating between 1 and 2 dots on my new iPhone 5S. I am also having people I am on the phone with tell me that I sound like I'm in a tunnel and or that I am breaking up. I am also hearing the breakup of voice service even when speaking to someone on a landline. I took my first iPhone 5S back to the store and traded it in for a new one and am having the same exact problem with this new 5S phone. I was told by the salesman at the store that the problem was due to the 5S is using different towers than the 4S and that the new towers for the 5S were still being implemented. Do I know this to be true or necesarily believe this? No. Do I hope it's true or that Apple will come up with a fix for this problem in the very, very near future? Yes. Apple, what is going on with my service? It's obvious that it's happening to users from all of the major American networks.

  • I updated to IOS 5 and now my signal strength drops sometimes clear to zero when I open an app.

    I updated my Iphone 4 with the IOS 5 operating system.  When I use an application, including the phone app, my signal strength bars will drop from 4 or 5 bars to 1 bar and sometimes to no bars and searching for a signal.  When I exit the app the bars return tto what they were before.  I have an AT&T plan that operates in Mexico which is where I am now.  In Mexico it operates on the TelCell network.  Before updating the op system I had no problems with the signal strength dropping when I used an app.

    Hello timfromharris,
    Have you gone to your date and time settings and verified that "set automatically" has been checked?
    If you don't know where to go, it's Settings -> General -> Date and Time.
    Good luck!
