The Wifi/Cell tower signal strength (written as [wifi_strength] and [cell_signal_strength]) can be used for example to determine the strength of the signal between your device and the router/tower (this can vary depending on the thickness of walls, the distance to the router/tower and several other various factors). The scale of these values can be confusing : they range from -127 to 0 which might not be obvious on how to use. The better the strength, the closer you will be to 0 the weaker the strength the closer you will be to -127: if you are standing next to the source, you'd typically be around -35. If you have a weak connection to a cell tower, you'd get around -110 to -115. -127 means you are not connected to the source you are trying to measure. 2147483647 means the magic text broke for some reason..
