Ya tell me about it. Signal strength is expressed in a made up unit
(ASU), stops updating when the screen turns off, and is artificially
capped at -63 dBm (at least on the G1). In the Android source code
there is a function for polling the signal strength, but it is not
exposed to the public. There is a open bug related to this:
