Hello, I need some clarification on API docs.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SignalStrength.html
getSignalStrength() indicates:
"Get the GSM Signal Strength, valid values are (0-31, 99) as defined
in TS 27.007 8.5"

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/NeighboringCellInfo.html
getRSSI() indicates
"received signal strength or UNKNOWN_RSSI if unknown For GSM, it is in
"asu" ranging from 0 to 31 (dBm = -113 + 2*asu) 0 means "-113 dBm or
less" and 31 means "-51 dBm or greater" For UMTS, it is the Level
index of CPICH RSCP defined in TS 25.125"

So, for 3G UMTS networks, does the SignalStrength class not return the
same value as the NeighboringCellInfo class ? What are the chances
that each RIL implementation is sending something different ?

Has anyone see negative value for signalStrength on UMTS networks as
is possible for RSCP index values ?

thanks
