This has always bugged me because I live extremely rural in the mountains and our Cell signal not only sucks, most times are nonexistent.
But having several different phones over the years, I noticed one would say two bars, yet still can't make a call, while others have none and the call goes through.
So I did a search to see if it was possible to read DB, (decibel strength) on your phone and as luck would have it, someone did a video on how to not only test, but permanently set it to decibels instead of those worthless bars. :thumbsup:
THis is really simple, but you'll have to hit pause for the Ph#, he goes pretty fast.
