G-NetSignal is an app for mobile and WiFi network signal strength measurements.
You can use it for finding best spots with strongest signal for mobile operator and WiFi networks.
G-NetSignal on Playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gyokovsolutions.gnetsignal
The app shows:
- current level
- minimum level during the measurement - blue point on scale
- maximum level during the measurement - red point on scale
You can reset min and max levels using MENU - Reset.
The app does not require any specific Android permissions.
G-NetSignal is a beginner level app and helps to get an idea of radio wave propagation.
For more extensive measurements of mobile and WiFi network you can try:

This is my first Android app!
It is a graphical interface to ping command. It is useful to check network status or the reachability of a host.
The peculiarities are:
sound effects: useful to avoid staring at the screen to check icmp_seq
runs in background: meanwhile you can use other apps (other network tool as WiFi strength analyzer)
ping weather: It suggests you the number of packets lost. e.g. a clear sun indicates 0 packets lost, storm indicates no good network connection.
Use case: you can check and test the WiFi coverage on a wide area without staring at the screen. Every lost packet will be immediately identified by sound. NO MORE NEED TO CHECK icmp_seq NUMBER ONE BY ONE!

Hi!
This one is for simmodded users.
I ask for a way to set the threshold for toggling between uts and prs connections.
Often I experience the following: having uts with fair signal strength (3-4 bars) then, without leaving the same spot outside the q drops the 3g connection and starts a gprs connection (signal strength full).
If I force the uts connection I mostly get the weaker 3g connection reastablished. Problem with this settings: in areas where I won't have no 3g connection I have to manually switch back to auto setting.
So is there a way to modify the time of automatic connection switch, so I may have longer weak 3g connection before I drop to gprs?
The 4 answers!

I don't know such an app, only the manual way.
Theoretically you could use SmartActions to start an app change to 3G on good locations and change to 2G on bad locations.
However, I don't know such an app for this.
Maybe someone know a better solution.
RantCell application is a true network benchmark tool to measure the key performance indicators (KPI) such as data speed, voice calls, ping (latency) ,dropped calls of 2G,3G ,4G ,Wi-Fi and CDMA phone network by performing repetitive speedtest ,ping (latency) and voice calls.

• All vital information such as signal strength, coverage, Cell ID and operator name is captured in the background while tests are progressing on the RantCell app.
Use Cases:
• As a field test tool for speed test and benchmark cellular net.
• Identify ping (latency) on GSM, UMTS, LTE, Wi-Fi and CDMA
• App can be installed on multiple devices and use it as a load generator.
• Identify phone congestion issues by running long iterations test campaign (Load Generator)
• Comparison of performance (KPI) with other operators for example Vodafone, EE, 02 (With multiple devices)
• Validation of services on cellular net.
• To get phone coverage information
• Configure your own FTP server to get more accurate measurements.

I recently faced a nasty problem with my device, I had to keep on re-entering the Wi-Fi key of a specific hotspot even if I had managed to connect successfully on previous attempts.
Also as I leave the Wi-Fi on most of the times, I started to get a bit uncomfortable when the device connected by itself to an Open Network (one of the many around my place) and got notifications (Adverticements).
I am sure I had connected before to that Open Network but did not bother to 'forget' it.
As a result, I created this app which helped me resolve the next problems:
a. Having to re-enter the Wi-Fi of certain hotspots by removing all instances of the same secured network that may have been mis-configured.
b. Slow loading time of Wi-Fi settings by maintaining a shorter list of configured networks.
c. Automatically forget Open Networks.
d. Assign a friendly name to a network (while being displayed in this app).
e. Assign a friendly name to a hotspot (BBSID) of a network (while being displayed in this app).
f. Automatically restrict connection to a specific BBSID (Further changes are planned to restrict the connection to a set of BBSIDs, this is still experimental).
As an overall,
this app offers the possibility to forget (remove them from the configured list) Wi-Fi Networks (Open, Secured) from your device in a convenient way:
- Assign a friendly name to a network (and its hostspots - BSSIDs) (Touch the 'Name' label of the network).
- Display the signal level of a network (and its hotspots - BSSIDs) and be able to connect to it (Touch the 'Signal Level' indicator of the network).
Also it is possible to explicitly connect to a hotspot for a network (restricts any automatic connections to this specific BBSID).
[Experimental] Connection can also be restricted to a set of BBSIDs.
- Forget manually selected Secured Networks/Open Networks with a few clicks (Favorites are excluded).
- Automatically forget Open Networks when not in use (Favorites are excluded).
- Mark a Network as 'Favorite' so that is not forgotten by mistake either manually or automatically.
- Show a Notification if the Wi-Fi is on but no connection yet.
This is the Google play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cs.anddev.wificleanup&hl=en
No root access required.
Permissions Explanation:
- Connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi. Needed to get the Wi-Fi status.
- View network connections. Needed to get the status of a Wi-Fi connection.
- View Wi-Fi connections. Needed to get the list of Wi-Fi connections.
- Run at startup. Needed to get the Wi-Fi connection status without running the app.
Changes for v.3.0:
- Show a Notification if the Wi-Fi is on but no connection yet.
- Assign Friendly name to a hotspot (BBSID) of a network (Touch the 'Name' label of the network).
- Display the signal level of a network hotspots and be able to connect to any of them (restricts any automatic connections to this specific BBSID). Further changes are planned to restrict the connection to a set of BBSIDs. This is still experimental and can be used once it is enabled from the Settings menu.
- Access Wi-Fi settings
- UI changes

Would you be willing to pick up where Wi-Fi Ruler left off? I've emailed the author, with no luck, several times to ask if he can help me troubleshoot whether its my phone (SM-G920T) or his app that needs tweaking. Basically, his app allows us to rank what SSIDs are more desirable (in our eyes), and is *supposed* to allow us to use BSSIDs to make choices. Prime example: "xfinitywifi" is all over the country now, but I only want to connect to the 'xfinitywifi' signal in one location, not everywhere. I can't tell if his app is working perfectly, but it's my Samsung GS6 (5.1.1) that keeps usurping the app because it only knows that I "remembered" xfinitywifi once, so I must want to connect to it everywhere and anywhere.
Where to find the app? Link? Am I blind? Can't find...
great

Sounds interesting idea, let me do some investigation and I will revert. @Technical
This is the Google play link

Hi bwb8771
I am in the process of making a prototype as a proof of concept, will you be willing to test it for me?
If yes, pm me an email to send you the apk.
Thanks

I've searched high and low but no success.
I'm looking for an android app that will allow me to conduct a cellular signal survey for a particular area. I'm creating a safety map for a backcountry activity and I would like to plot the cellular signal strength at a predefined interval as I walk a track. The app would need to record the signal strength (in db) and the GPS location every 5 minutes for example.
Thanks, Brad
