Hey Ema, Thank you for using the app! It is always great to hear from people using the app. You are correct that CQI is only supported on certain devices. However, there might be something else to try. On some devices, if the phone is connected to Wi-Fi the CQI value will always be blank. Try turning off Wi-Fi and running the survey again to see if that resolves the problem. I have a Samsung S22 that I will try to run the app on to see if I can get CQI working on that device. |

I was able to run NS up on a Galaxy S22 and I was not able to get a valid CQI. The value that the Samsung phone returned for the Android API call (getCqi) was always It seems that Samsung devices don't support CQI in the Android APIs. I have found that Samsung wires up their hardware and other items to the Android APIs in a strange way. FWIW, I typically like running Network Survey on Pixel devices because Google does a better job of supporting all of the Android APIs. Also, as noted in the other comment I made, other devices (e.g. Pixel 8 Pro) won't have a value for the CQI when connected to Wi-Fi. You must turn off Wi-Fi for CQI to be logged (also true of Timing Advance on certain phones). |

Thanks for the fast reply. I just got the chance to see it, but sadly I do not own a Pixel to test it out right now. Anyways I am glad to hear that this is not a bug in the code and just a hardware limitation. |
