Default Free Signal Checker

Please Login to Remove!

I purchased the new SpotWave Z1900 system to get a better signal in my office, and I was frustrated with only seeing 2 bars vs 3 bars on the home screen. I really wanted to see what kind of gain I was getting to optimize the placement of the coverage and network access units. I'm sure there is a way to change the BlackBerry to show units in decibels, but I figured I'd whip up this shamefully self promotional Signal Checker application anyway.

Here it is:

Download the Signal Checker Application

If you have any feedback or easy functional requests, just let me know. And as the shamefully self promoting app says, let us know if you need BlackBerry development services! You can email us at info @ metova.com

On Suretype keyboards, double strike the N (since it is the BN key).

Exactly. How would I need something else when I can change my bars to dbm already?
