Description

Network Monitor is a diagnostic tool whichperiodically tests your network connection and logs the results toa database on the phone. The goal of the app is to identify whichcell towers around you may have connection problems.

It tests the connection by retrieving the main Google page(http://www.google.com) in two different ways:
* An HTTP connection (the type of connection used by the browserand other web apps)
* A basic socket connection (a type of connection used by otherapps)

It also logs other information about your device and connectionstatus, such as:
* The network type (WiFi, mobile/EDGE, mobile/HSPA, etc)
* The WiFi SSID or APN
* The device's location (latitude, longitude)
* The cell tower's ids
* The signal strength (from 0 to 4)
* Other information...

You can send yourself a report of the collected data, in severalformats (Excel, CSV, HTML, KML, Gnuplot, the raw database). Thereport will also contain a summary of the success rate of theconnection tests, per cell tower.
