The "secret" Phone Info screen shows signal strength (in ASU rather than 
dBm)

I've never seen a phone which can't get into that screen by dialling 
*#*#4636#*#*

some people tell me they can't, I'm not sure if they're doing something 
wrong though ... should be simple.

An Intent/Activity Launcher would be anther way to get into the screen 
via "com.android.phone.settings.RadioInfo"
