Signal Strength Number?

[bubbatex]

What number in the Sprint DEBUG program is the signal strength? Or is this number elsewhere? Others have reported dBm numbers, but I am note sure what number represents this. I want to compare the EVO with the Inc I have.

its in the settings menu under ABOUT, then status. at least that's where it is on the incredible and nexus one.

Thanks - but not on the EVO. Sprint took that out for some reason.

It's in the 1X Engineering menu under Rx Power. The higher the number the better. For example -81 dbm is better than -85 dbm

Thanks - that's what I thought but was not sure.

To get the information on the EVO you want. Go to your phone dialer and hit this:

*#*#4636#*#*

After that go to Phone Information for the dbm. Plus there are other section in this that are very useful.

you get -81 and -85?? strange, I always get whole numbers, nothing but -80, -90, and when I'm in the sticks, -110. But, I've never got an odd number like 81 or 85. Wonder why....

That's weird. Maybe you are on some older towers or a different carrier's towers? I always get a range as Cory did - on Sprint, ATT and Verizon.
