FOR ROOTED ANDROID PHONES WITH CERTAIN QUALCOMM CHIPS ONLY.

The Network Survey+ app is the "advanced" version of the regular Network Survey app. NS+ accesses the Qualcomm diag device to get QCDM messages. The QCDM messages are then processed and logged to a pcap file. LTE RRC and NAS, WCDMA RRC, UMTS NAS, and GSM RR signaling messages are processed and logged. In addition, each pcap record is geotagged with the device's current location.

The pcap files are saved to the Download/NetworkSurveyPlusData folder and can be opened and viewed in Wireshark.

This app also supports streaming the cellular OTA messages over an MQTT connection. See https://messaging.networksurvey.app for details.

Note that this app only works on rooted Android phones, and requires a cellular Qualcomm chip that exposes the /dev/diag device and supports QCDM messages. Devices that have been confirmed to work include the Nexus 5X, Pixel 3a, and Xiaomi 9T. Experimental support for Samsung Shannon modems (Pixel 6 and newer) is also included, but it is not reliable yet. See https://github.com/christianrowlands/android-network-survey-rooted for the latest list of compatible devices.

See https://mosquitto.org for information on setting up a MQTT Broker.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
