This tab is where measurements are done, and visual location and cell info is provided.

​

NOTE! We do not show tower locations, but indications of cell locations from Mozilla MLS database. We do not have tower database.

​

1. Measurements taken (markers have also relevant info – see it by clicking them, and the connecting line is according to signal level)
2. Serving cell location NOT tower location (marker has relevant info)

This Tab provides information about the SIM(s) and the Device.

​

1. Hide sensitive data from displaying (in case you want to take a screenshot
2. Refresh the data of the Tab
3. SIM1 information
4. SIM2 information (for dual SIM phones with Android > 5)

This Tab provides information about the SIM(s) and the Device.

​

1. Device telephony related information

API17 cell functionality: It should be Yes to have the full functionality of the app. Unfortunately, not all API17+ devices implement API17 telephony functions, but some implement only API1 functions!

1. For example, a device not implementing API17 telephony functions does not show neighbors nor PCI for the LTE. Also an Android 7 device not implementing API17 telephony functions does not show LTE band.
2. Device Related information

The Speedtest Tab, currently in Beta, provides an option to test the speed of your connection.

​

1. The download speed shows how fast your device pulls data from the server (measured in megabits per second - Mb/s).
2. The upload speed shows how fast your device can send data (measured in megabits per second - Mb/s).
3. Digits display the variable download speed during a speed test.
4. The Ping measures the reaction time of your connection. The number, measured in milliseconds, shows how quickly you get a response after sending a request. This is often referred to as latency.
5. Jitter measures the variation of ping over time.
6. The gauge shows the variable download and upload speed during a speed test.
7. Pressing the start button initiates the beginning of a speed test.
8. The Speedtest Dashboard shows the date and time of the last test, the connection type and the results of the test.

​

3. You may set the signal refresh rate to a higher value if you want to save battery, but the signal strength refreshing will get obviously slower
4. Shortcut to network system settings
5. Shortcut to system settings

​

Note: Dual SIM functionality is available on Android 5+ devices or on devices with Android 4.2+ having MediaTek processor. This is Android/Device limitation.

Note: Settings with (R) require restarting the application.

​

• Here you can turn off WiFi Gauge
• In addition you can select the scan period (refresh rate) for Access-Points

​

Note: Selecting a small scan period (more frequent scans) it may deteriorate you data throughput (Android limitation).

Measurements Settings are affecting the measurements taken in the Map tab.

​

• Switch to keep measurements updates (in the Map tab) ON even when leaving the Map tab
• Set the Motion sensor to reduce collecting measurements when there is no device motion
• Minimum measurements time interval between consecutive measurements
• Metric or US measurement system
• Minimum measurements location distance between consecutive measurements
• Maximum measurements location accuracy required to take a measurement

​

Note: Dual SIM functionality is available on Android 5+ devices or on devices with Android 4.2+ having MediaTek processor. This is Android/Device limitation.

Network Cell Info has the capability of exporting the measurements taken in different database formats. Exporting happens by pressing the checkmark button in the Map Tab of the app.

​

• In the app, you can choose the database format by going to the app settings -> database.
• There are 6 common formats. See Link for more details : LINK
• There are also other 2 formats available only in the Pro subscription of the paid app.
