Method call and variable names stolen from telephony-maemo.c:
dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_signal_strength
First value is the value used by the signal bar in telephony-maemo.c. It adds 20 to that number and divides it by 21 to get its final result.
Second value is the RSSI in DBM.

Yes. Or just look at the one with the bars in the status menu area. =)

method return sender=:1.17 -> dest=:1.743 reply_serial=2
byte 100
byte 84
int32 0
Isn't there an easier way to get to some type of debug screen to see the signal level in dBm?

Hi,
I also receive the same numbers and this do not change. How is it possible to obtain signal strength.
