GPS, sensor and network status
About this app
A diagnostic tool that displays data reported by sensors in the phone.
GPS and other location providers:
* Refresh AGPS data (if supported by phone) either manually, or when a new data connection is detected * Status notification whenever an app accesses GPS (configurable) * Location, speed, bearing and error * Satellites in view and satellites used * Signal-to-noise ration (SNR) for each satellite * Time to first fix and time of last fix * Map view for comparison of different location providers
Sensors (as supported by your phone):
* Accelerometer (acceleration and gravity) * Rotation * Magnetic field * Orientation (azimuth, pitch and roll) * Ambient temperature * Pressure * Relative humidity * Ambient light * Proximity
Networks:
* GSM/CDMA/LTE cells in range with network type and signal strength * WiFi networks in range, with encryption type, channel and signal strength
Known limitations:
* Some phones will report only the network cell with which they are currently registered. On such phones you will only see one cell under "GSM" or "CDMA". This is a limitation of the phone's radio firmware, and SatStat has no way of getting more information from the device. * Some devices ignore the command to refresh AGPS data. This is a limitation of the GPS driver (which varies from device to device and is usually proprietary). Starting with version 2.0, SatStat has a workaround in place for automatic AGPS updates.

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.vonglasow.michael.satstat is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 3.5 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall SatStat first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of SatStat, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets SatStat do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
