GetSignalStrength()

[mikael_kinnunen]

I experience (like others) problem in getting accurate feedback from the GetSignalStrength() method.

However, to retrieve the current Cell ID, MCC, MNC and LAC is no problem.

This is a snippet from my code;

---< CUT >---

TInt32 st;
User::LeaveIfError(phone.GetSignalStrength(st));

---< CUT >---

"st" always result in 0, even though there is good signal quality.

Why is this? Target device I've used is Nokia 3650.

Now I've even tried with following;

---<CUT >---
TRequestStatus status;
TInt32 strength = 0;

phone.GetSignalStrength(status, strength);
User::WaitForRequest(status);
---<CUT>---

.. But it still gives 0 as result!?

I think I've seen this asked somewhere before. And I seem to remember that people found that they had to use SignalStrengthNotification() to get values other than 0 back.
