Maybe kinda far-fetched but when I think about it seems possible, from technical perspective.
Is there an app which can help to trace a person lost in avalanche, buried under the snow? We have two phones connected via bluetooth/wifi and both are receiving gps signal, one burried under the snow and the other one above searching for survivor. Maybe even without gps, just figuring out where is the missing person by bluetooth/wifi signal strength.
What do you think guys, possible?

Hi, I've only recently bought an HD2 and I'm absolutely loving it. The only real issue I'm having is with frequent network dropouts. This tends to happen when it's switching H to 3G and back, they're only brief but I've missed plenty of calls because of it. I don't mind mucking about with the phone and I've searched and found plenty of solutions to try and I'm currently trying different radio's.
To get to the point my question is this, does anybody know of anyway to get an audible notification when connected and disconnected from the network? I realise there's an icon change but as I'm not always looking at the screen then audio would be great while I'm testing.
Thanks
Hello All,
My friend recently bought an HTC sensation and he says that his phone has a function which would automatically seek internet connection to assist with its reception when the phone detects a poor reception signal.
I was just wondering if there are any ways the xperia x10 could also achieve this capability as my phone has been dropping calls in my apartment. ( it would have full bar then suddenly turn to no bar before reappearing of having full bars) Thanks for the help!
** I posted a similar post but now I cannot find it, I figure that I might have accidentally posted it in the wrong forum, so I'm just re-posting it here.
So almost after 3 weeks of getting the TS I decided to put in my AT&T SIM. I was reluctant to use that tiny bastard screw driver but I did it anyways. I have noticed that the network signal strength of my watch is almost non-existant. It will get cellphone signal at only certain place. With the same sim card on my phone (Nexus 5), I get good cell reception.
How are others doing in this department? How's the cellphone signal? Is there anything I can do to improve the mobile network signal. Currently I am on stock with Loki's security patch.
I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or software issue. I remember someone opening the TS and checking the antenna. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Some information on my TS -
North American 1/8
Stock ROM with Loki's patch.
Ok here is my observation:
I could not get signal inside my office, home and costco
I did get signal once I get out of my office - full signal bars with H+. I made a short trip from office to costco and home and back to office. It was able to get signals when I was driving but in some areas where I used to get 2-3 bars in my phone, TS did not pick at any signal at all. So mobile network signal is working but it is pretty weak compared to my phone.
May be it needs some tune up
i have the same problem,the signal is low and TS really has a hard time to find one,if its lost
can we do something about this ?
I opened mine just to have a look and found one of the connectors lose, took a bit of fiddling to get it back on but my network signal seems as good as my note3.
I don't know why, but after installing this app.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.misonicon.signalbooster3g4g
The signal works perfectly, I didn't believe in this apps but now I don't know what to say
At least it works
Mobile frequency fluctuates on my end too, made sure APN settings are listed exactly like they say here on the forums, maybe I should change to another GSM 3G SIM card?
Hey guys,
I'm looking for something specific and hoping you can help me. I'd like to get a Push To Talk app that uses the cell radio in the phone. I've seen a few in the market that use the phone signal or wifi to communicate, but these all require a server or Internet connection, and the problem is that I'm sometimes out of cell tower or wifi range, so a device-to-device PTT app would be helpful so I can talk to my wife and friends within the radio range of the phone. It's probably asking a lot, and I'm sure you're probably thinking I should just buy a walkie-talkie, but I thought it was worth the ask.
BTW, the phones are SGS5 and Sony Xperia Z2, both non-rooted with stock ROMs at the moment, but that is not necessarily an issue if the right app shows up.
Cheers,
Joel

I am not sure if this uses cell radio, but you may try Sonica Walkie-Talkie.
THE TL;DR
Verizon data in a specific area used to be solid, but now is practically nonexistent. I know it’s not gone entirely though, because I can maintain an LTE signal lock and use it if I exit the affected area, get an LTE signal lock, start the utorrent and begin downloading a [legal] torrent, and then re-enter the affected area. I’ve tested with friends, family and strangers over a series of devices - it’s not just me. Verizon says it’s heavy network usage which seems like BS. Please help.
THE FULL VERSION
THE PROBLEM
About a month ago the Verizon data service in the area that I live/work went from solid to almost nonexistent. The affected area is maybe a 2 to 3 mile circle it seems. I’ve had friends, family, and even strangers verify that it isn’t just me - they’re experiencing the same thing (wide range of devices.) Essentially, I can no longer get LTE in this area, and the 3G and 1x are even spotty (and horribly slow.) Veeery occasionally I will be able to get LTE to lock, but it drops almost immediately. Calling and SMS do not seem to be affected. Outside of this affected area, LTE service in the area seems to be unchanged. I’ve opened multiple tickets with Verizon -- they essentially told me that the network in my particular area is overloaded and this can’t be resolved until they build a new tower that covers the area (obviously that’s not going to happen anytime soon.) Although this might seem plausible, I’ve lived and worked in this exact location for the past 3 years, and only once has something similar happened previously (and I’d know because I’m a power user who doesn’t use a computer, and who uses LTE for internet exclusively.) The previous occurrence was in February this year, and the issue disappeared after about a week.
I do happen to live in a college town, so the network could be under some additional strain with the kids coming back, but I don’t believe admission is up appreciably from previous years, and I don’t know of any new living spaces that were built in the area that’s affected, so it seems that the network shouldn’t any more strained than it has been in previous years.
THE UTORRENT TRICK
If I move outside of the affected area and get an LTE signal lock, open utorrent, start downloading a torrent [legal only,] and then re-enter the affected area, the LTE lock will hold an I’ll be able to get the full LTE speeds almost as if the problem has been resolved. However, if I shut off utorrent, or if I toggle airplane mode while I’m in the affected area, the LTE signal lock is lost, and issue will persist (ie. I’ll only get 3G, 1x, or nothing at all.)
QUESTIONS
Can anyone explain what might be happening and why? Is it really that the network is under heavy load?
Why won’t my phone even find LTE while I’m in the affected area? It’s clearly still available if I can keep an LTE lock using the utorrent trick.
What causes the utorrent trick to work? It almost seems like the trick bypasses the network’s attempts to hide LTE from me in this particular area.
I’m rooted. Is there any way that I can force my phone to find and lock the LTE in the affected area? The 3G and 1x are essential unusable.
If I can’t force my phone to lock the LTE and stay on it, is there some other way to make my phone hold the signal once it has it *besides* using the utorrent trick?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
