Android :: Android IRC Office Hours - Android Bluetooth RSSI
Jan 27, 2010
I have a question about bluetooth RSSI functionality on the Android (either 2.0 or 2.1):
It's easy enough to get the RSSI value when a bluetooth connection is created, but how can you repeatedly get the RSSI value of a connection that is already active? It's really important to be able to do this, because this lets you determine if bluetooth devices are close to each other or far away, but I can't find any appropriate function calls in the Android API.

I am working on Android platform 2.1 and trying to make an app that can get the Bluetooth signal strength from remote devices. It seems i should try to read the 'RSSI'
something like : int rssi = intent.getIntExtra (BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_RSSI, Integer.MIN_VALUE);
But it just keep returning the latter default value.
Did anyone ever manage to get the value of RSSI? Do we need to pair the device before getting the RSSI?

I need to know the signal strength of a Bluetooth connection to a remote device that I make with my Android 2.1 phone. From the SDK, I can see that I can determine the RSSI at the time I discover the remote device. But I can't see how to update that RSSI value over time.
Can someone give me a hand?

I'm trying to determine location via bluetooth beacons and while I can discover and find all of the devices around me, when I try to grab the EXTRA_RSSI that's supposed to come through it doesn't work.
Here's the code I'm using and I get a 0 every time.
CODE:....................

I'm trying to write a program that can read the signal strength of a bluetooth device linked to my android 2.0 handset. Doesnt seem like android exposes anyway to get the RSSI unless it is during discovery. Is there any other way to get the signal strength of the device after the device has been detected? I read of a way to do it using NDK to access the underlying BlueZ API, but I dont know how to use that. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the best replacement on the Droid for the Windows Mobile Office suite? Is there a free one? Is there an easy program that gives access to Google Docs from the Droid?

I have had my Sony Ericsson Experia X10 for 4 months now and are happy with it although I seem to be continuously charging the battery? I haven't really looked at that many Android apps but I can't find a decent office type program similar to Microsoft Office or Open office to use excel, or similar office documents whilst I'm away from my laptop? Also are there any Krazy kiwis living out there using the great Android networks living in the UK, or even better in Bristol? I would love to hear from you soon

I am trying to use the Wifimanager to calculate the Signal Level of the access points found during a scan.
I am using the following method:
WifiManager.calculateSignalLevel(int, int)
But it appears to always return the same int no matter what the RSSI level is.
Here is my code:.............
The logging outputs 1 for all the test cases for calculateQoS(int).
Am I missing something simple here? Why is the SignalLevel always 1?

I´m trying to get the rssi value from the main cell i´m currently connected to in an application for Android 1.6. I´m using android.telephony.gsm.GsmCellLocation which does not have this value. For Android 2.1 its avaible android.telephony.SignalStrength, but I cannot find anything equivalent for API 4. Is there any other way or class available?

Is there any way to retrieve the current cellular Signal Strength (RSSI) on Android 1.5?
I know there's a way to listen for signal strength updates through the TelephonyManager, but this seems to only give a "state," not a numeric value.
Is using the RSSI field on a neighboring cell fairly accurate? I'm guessing not, but I'm running out of ideas.

I need some clarification on API docs.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SignalStreng... getSignalStrength() indicates: "Get the GSM Signal Strength, valid values are (0-31, 99) as defined in TS 27.007 8.5"
[url] getRSSI() indicates "received signal strength or UNKNOWN_RSSI if unknown For GSM, it is in "asu" ranging from 0 to 31 (dBm = -113 + 2*asu) 0 means "-113 dBm or less" and 31 means "-51 dBm or greater" For UMTS, it is the Level index of CPICH RSCP defined in TS 25.125"
So, for 3G UMTS networks, does the SignalStrength class not return the same value as the NeighboringCellInfo class ? What are the chances that each RIL implementation is sending something different ?
Has anyone see negative value for signalStrength on UMTS networks as is possible for RSCP index values ?

For example, I want to parse the string below:
Tue Sep 28 18:02:24 GMT+08:00 2010
And I use the pattern for the SimpleDateFormat:
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzzzzzzz yyyy");
But I keep getting the ParseException.

Do those numbers seem normal to the rest of you? Right now if I am using my phone for browsing, video, etc. it will run the battery from full charge to dead in just under 4 hours. If I just leave the phone turned on but with no apps running (standby) it runs out of power in roughly 48 hours. Is this the battery life I should expect from this phone?

I'm developing an application to read signal strength of 3G, GSM, Wifi.
Is there any classes that provides us with the RSSI of 3G signal and GSM signal?
The WifiManager Class provides the RSSI for wifi, but I can't find any for 3G and GSM. If there is no classes provided, is it difficult to start from scratch?

Why don't Microsoft man up and give us a Microsoft Office app? I would gladly pay for the app. I think they could made a killing.

When I DL a pdf file as an attachment to an email, Quickoffice opens it and lets me read it. When I use the OIFileManager I can see the pdf file in the downloads folder on my SD card and it is displayed with a Quickoffice icon. Clicking on the file launches the Quickoffice pdf viewer. When I look on the home menu I cannot find a Quickoffice icon. Where is quickoffice- is it integrated into android OS? I need to search text and/or pdf files for specific text- example: ADA procedure codes for dentistry. I have a list in both pdf and text format but can't find a way to search it for "crown".Is there an app (maybe a part of Quickoffice?) that will search for and highlight text in a text or pdf file?

Today you can get "Documents to go" for $5.55 (Normally $29.95) but I am not really sure what I would gain over the included Quickoffice ap. I could be wrong but I believe quick office is read only while documents to go allows editing.Anyone else know the difference?
