Description

A diagnostic tool that displays data reported by sensors in the phone.

GPS and other location providers:

* Refresh AGPS data (if supported by phone) either manually, or when a new data connection is detected
* Status notification whenever an app accesses GPS (configurable)
* Location, speed, bearing and error
* Satellites in view and satellites used
* Signal-to-noise ration (SNR) for each satellite
* Time to first fix and time of last fix
* Map view for comparison of different location providers

Sensors (as supported by your phone):

* Accelerometer (acceleration and gravity)
* Rotation
* Magnetic field
* Orientation (azimuth, pitch and roll)
* Ambient temperature
* Pressure
* Relative humidity
* Ambient light
* Proximity

Networks:

* GSM/CDMA/LTE cells in range with network type and signal strength
* WiFi networks in range, with encryption type, channel and signal strength

Known limitations:

* Some phones will report only the network cell with which they are currently registered. On such phones you will only see one cell under "GSM" or "CDMA". This is a limitation of the phone's radio firmware, and SatStat has no way of getting more information from the device.
* Some devices ignore the command to refresh AGPS data. This is a limitation of the GPS driver (which varies from device to device and is usually proprietary). Starting with version 2.0, SatStat has a workaround in place for automatic AGPS updates.
