Report cellular signal/class to server #226

Open luke-jr opened 8 years ago

It'd be nice to map out where signal dropouts are vs where I get good LTE. Would it be difficult to send this info to the server? :)

It might be possible for some devices, but it's tricky. I found this:

This app seems to reliably figure out the service type (and operator): https://github.com/mbmc/FiInfo/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/mbmc/fiinfo/receiver/ServiceChangeReceiver.java

I am confused about this issue now. I thought you want to get cell information and signal quality, not your network name.

luke-jr commented 8 years ago

Network name is part of cell info, but more relevant: the Fi Info program also tells whether it is LTE/3G/etc.

OK, it means that I misunderstood original request. Now I think I understand what you want. I'll consider implementing it.
