Notification on Connecting to Network Carrier Simple question. I work in a basement office and my network signal is very patchy at best. Is there a way to get a notification (buzz preferably) when it finds a signal? I have an HTC One running Kit-Kat (4.4.3). My favourite search engine hasn't given me any joy.
AFAIK there's nothing built-in to be used. And for apps, I only know the opposite: buzzing you when the alert is lost (see: Bad Signal Alert).

However, you could use tasker to create your own customized solution. Tasker can monitor signal strength, and you can setup a profile to utilize that. I cannot give you the matching profile currently, but you might wish to take a look at What is Cell standby and how can I keep it from eating my battery? In my answer there I've introduced a longer configuration involving the necessary tasks, so you might be able to adapt them to your needs. In fact, the SigReturn task already does what you asked for: Whenever the signal is restored, it issues a vibrating notification.

Being older than 2 years already, it might need some polish, though :)
