About SatStat

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.
