The majority of roms both GB and Froyo have the 6 signal bar mod. I was wondering if someone, maybe a dev, could let us know what the scale is?
Here's just an example from what I've noticed:
3 bars: -99 dBm
4 bars: -92 dBm
5 bars: -81 dBm
It's relative to whatever the developer feels it should be set to.

Okay so I've always known my D2G was a little off with its signal strength especially how it represents it, and I know that all cell phones represent the number of bars based on signal strength differently. However as far as I understand it is still a cut and dry system within each phone, so for example -75 dBm should always be a certain number of bars on a phone correct? Yet my D2G does not seem to think this. I have only been carefully monitoring it today. However Right not is has been bouncing around -62 dMb at 0asu to -69 dBm at 0 asu. It increased from -69 to -62 and stayed at 2 bars the whole time for a while, now it is at -64 and is showing 1 bar. How can -64 be 1 bar is -62 was for a good 30 seconds holding 2 bars? Isn't -62 stronger? Also this morning it moved around -65 to -69 and 1-4 bars at random where the numbers seemed to have almost no correlation to the number of bars. Is this at all weird or am I just crazy? This really has me missing the T-mobile G1 which had much more normal signal strengths and made much better sense of them.
I have considered installing the Fission rom, but before I do that does anyone thing an SBF would be worthwhile to have a fresh install? Some people have claimed that seems to help with their phones, I was wondering if it might help with mine too.
Also as a side note, my phone's 3G speeds seem to drastically increase when the phone shows 4 bars of signal, download goes from maybe 600-900kbps up to 1.3-2.0mbps, regardless of what my phone says the signal strength is. However upload is always the same, so at 1-3 bars upload is always faster than download or close to it which seems weird to me.
One last example, my phone just in like 5 seconds went from -64 to -65 to -65 to -66 to -68 and the bars for those were 1 then 2 then 3 then 1 then 1. It makes no sense if the signal is getting weaker consistently for the bars to increase with each decrease then suddenly decrease.
I have this "problem" as in the title. The signal dBm reading is inaccurate and certain app needs more accurate readings. When there are four bars, the dBm is -89dBm, and three it's -93dBm and one -101dBm and zero -111dBm.
The signal strength reading is dependent from bars.
My app needs more accurate readings between the bars, for example -90dBm and so on. How to improve it?
Hope you understood, it's a very little but annoying issue.
I started writing down some finding that I would like to share
Signal were taken from 3 different locations around my property.. over the last 3days at around general times, and clear weather (we haven't had rain in months)all were using k3 modem
1) clean ROM /-106&14 asu signal
Quadrant 5675,vellamo 1526..stock
2)edge ROM/ -101&14 asu signal
Quadrant 6077, vellamo 1750
3)pure ROM/-110&12 asu signal
Quadrant 5785,vellamo 1589
4)liquid rom / -101& 39 asu
Quadrant 2874,vellamo 1626
..All test were done 3 xx each and then averaged
All data speed test were about the same so I consider a null...if that helps a little give me a thumbs up..more to come

The ROMs performance in benchmarks can be altered with the exception of the stock ROM which have no tweaks in both ROM and kernel. Your signal strength test helps you only since it is from your home. Also there is no guarantee that we will get the same signal strength as you in our locations. More people have to be involved in a signal strength test to really get how good or bad the signal is in a ROM.
Is the signal in 4.2 still weaker? I go between 0 bars and 1 bar but it retains data. On all non 4.2 roms i get 2-3 bars, never dropping signal. I love 4.2 and dream for it to be my daily, but I cant with this signal thing. Is it fixed?
Bars don't really mean anything. Compare the actual number signal reading if you want to compare signal strength.
AFAIK the signal reception between aosp and tw is roughly on par. Aosp used to have issues with handoffs between 1x/3g/4g but those issue are almost entirely resolved.

Go to settings/about phone/status to check the signal strength. That is a much better indicator of your signal strength.
Hi,
I'm having hard time to find the dbm range for radio signal on my OnePlus One. Does anyone know from what dBm to what dBm does the signal strength range. I think it is somewhere from (maybe) -100 to -40 dBm, but that's just a random guess.
Anyone?
The highest I've ever seen was -51dBm, and the lowest I've ever seen was about -117dBm. I'm going off memory here though, I don't know the official upper and lower limits.
