P.S. Just tried this on Android and it works as well!

If anyone is in a poor signal area they will know that the signal bars on the iphone are not pretty accurate, well to help get a better picture of what is going on you can display the dBm in place of the bars, the lower the number to zero the better.

Here are the instructions, it is fully reversible, it may help some:

Step 1: Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call.

Step 2: You'll now enter Field Test mode. You'll notice a signal strength indicator on the upper left hand corner of your screen. You can toggle between signal strength bars and a number by simply taping on it. At this point, press the home button to exit the app or if you would like the feature to be permanent, continue on. Don't worry, the process is completely reversible.

Step 3: Hold down on the Power button until you see the ‘slide to power off' bar. Do not power off the device.

Step 4: Press down on the Home button until the app closes and you return to your home screen.

That's it. Even when restarting the iPhone, the signal strength can be toggled between bars and numbers. The closer your number is to zero, the stronger your signal is.

The lower your number, the stronger your signal—but don't include the - sign when evaluating (so, if the signal says -60, that's better than -90).

To return to the default bars permanently, follow these steps:

Step 1: Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call.

Step 2: Press on your Home Button once.

Works a treat

The other bits just give you info and don't allow modification as its an engineer menu. used to be popular on Nokia a lot. used by engineers once repaired to ensure signal strength is consistent with known working phones at the repair centre  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
