You can monitor the RF and WiFi signal strength for the device as well as the serving cell locations and hotspots, describe a cell site's zone of coverage, identify changes in technology and handover points, and save and playback that data. While many of the phone stats in the app can be displayed on the phone already (go to Settings -> About -> Status to see them). The advantage of this app is you can then map, record, and analyze, and share that data in a meaningful way.

Rf Signal Tracker RfSignalTracker-01.png RfSignalTracker-02.png The Ad-hoc Drive Test App! The RF Signal Tracker is an engineering application for doing impromptu hand-held drive-tests with your Android phone. You can monitor the RF and WiFi signal strength for the device as well as the serving cell locations and hotspot. You can also describe a cell site's zone of coverage, identify changes in technology and handover points, and save and playback that data. Many of the phone stats in the app can be displayed on the phone already (go to Settings -> About -> Status to see them). The advantage of this app is that you can then map, record, analyze, and share that data in a meaningful way. yes yes Google Play
