Guest Skunkchild Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 The question is ... Is there a Signal Bar Homescreen Plugin ? Thanks to many great developers it's become possible to create our own truly personal homescreens. I suspect many of us aren't sharing them at the moment as we all have different requirements. Anyway, it's time to get rid of the iconbar on my homescreen and that f*#$%in G symbol. So, is there a signal bar meter plugin with skinning ability ???? If not, can it be done ??

Guest pisquee Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Without the G, it is not possible to tell whether you are connected to a GPRS network/cell ... unless you try connecting and wonder why it isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skunkchild Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I rarely use it anyway and always have coverage in my local areas - that's my point about personal requirements. But even when I do use GPRS, I know I am using it and the symbols would still appear in PIE I just want rid on the homescreen. I only need the signal bar as I know whats going on by using other plugins (and my brain) The only reason I personally have a need for the iconbar at all is because I get a wavering signal in my local boozer - a noticable graphic signal meter would be far better, for me.

Guest McHale Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago. I live in a real crappy area and three bars just doesn't cut it. It always has no bars yet I have a little coverage. I would love to see a plugin that's VERY configurable where you can have a customizable bar and/or percentage. I would love to look at my phone and see 72% or 03% whichever the case may be. -Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pisquee Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Would be even better to add an actual dB measurment of the signal, like in the nokia engineering menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McHale Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 plus SNR I wonder if there's any chance to also determine network specific info as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott2eyes Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 A plugin that gives you the information about the nearby cell strengths that you can get in the MPx200 Engineering menu would be awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest otacon Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hmm... that would be great... would any great gurus out there be interested to make this plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skunkchild Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Keep an eye on the SmartMonitor thread here as there may be something to help us all out in a future version. Don't be hassling the Fonz tho' as he's pretty busy at the moment with his new baby (maybe for the next sixteen years!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
