I'm trying to build a profile/task that sets Airplanemode On when the
signal is low.
The problem is that %CELLSIG = 8 even if the signal bars indicates Low
Signal.
If I lose signal completely the %CELLSIG = -1.
Is the Galaxy SII uncompatible with the %CELLSIG variable?

Don't think so, at least no one else has mentioned the problem. If
%CELLSIG is updating when you lose signal and get it back again,
apparently the basic mechanism is working.

Sorry, I'm genuienly (speling?) stumped.

It's only changing when I'm completely out of signal, then it gives
%CELLSIG = -1.
In all cases with signal (low 0-1 bar, to high 4 bars) the value of
the %CELLSIG = 8 and never change.
I thought it would be like 0,2,6,8 depending on the signal strenght...

Yes, on every other device except yours apparently. Maybe you have a
custom ROM of some kind ?

Nope, it's the stock android O/S, Gingerbread 2.3.3.
And the latest Tasker v1.1u2m
No modification in O/S

After more testing, it appears this is a Samsung problem, rather than Tasker. I confirmed that the phone is actually showing a Signal Strength of +85 while on a 4g connection, which probably accounts for the invalid readout on Tasker.
