Cell ID on other devices

I have made this code work on my XDA, but i need to get it working on other devices. Im willing to pay someone $100 USD for code that will work on the Samsung I730, as well as the HTC Audiovox 5600.

This code when run on these devices returns -1 which means the problem is with the line:

hCom= CreateFile(L"COM2:",GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,0,0,OPEN_EXISTING,0,0);
if (hCom==NULL || hCom==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
hCom= NULL;
return -1;
}

I need this to work so bad. It's gotta be easy money for someone...i can not seem to figure it out...

Re: Cell ID on other devices

Climber104,

did you try running device manager and see if there is a COM2 port present on those machines [and that the modem is on com2]? Another approach would be to open the port using com interface rather than using the stream.

Hello,

did somebody tryed to get CellId on HTC wizard with WM5 ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vladlp:
I have (XDA mini s is the same HTC Wizard:) ) But no success and i can't understand why... i have already recompile source with VS2005 for WM2005 and under emulator everything is OK, but on device....???:(

Works for me

Even though I have a BT GPS which I carry with me constantly ... I loved the idea of this.

So I loaded up Nice Tracker on my Himmalya and it works!

Now the fun part ... identifying all the Masts in Australia! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ady:
@sharpstuff: Great job dude... I really love the neat interface :D

what's the possibility of integrating it with GPS so that it could auto discover the sites?

btw I'm using it on BA WM5 (the one ported from wizard and it seems to be working great)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Timeout92:
AT+CSQ is the AT commands to request the signal level, the answer is like :

+CSQ: x,(RX Lvl)

RX lvl = (0-32) to translate that in dBm you just have too do :

(Rx lvl * 2) + (-113 dBm) = - xx dBm :)

Where did i can find the "Ril.h" ??

Can someone help me out to get that Cell ID or area info with VB .net pleaaaseee...

Tanx in advance..

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] guttrhead:
Maybe its some conflict with arm processors then. on the wizard itself, othing happens.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sharpstuff:
Carty,

Not sure exactly how to get the Cell info in VB.Net, but if you download the source for NiceTrack and look at GSMLib.cs, I'm sure it would be quite straightforward to port the code. Make sure you deploy the NiceRIL.dll with your app.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Quovardis:
Dont know if anyone has thought of this but there is another parameter that can help..... TA (timing advance).

Timing advance uses increasing numbers to indicate how far away the Mobile if from the cell and is done in 500m steps.

so TA of 0 is 0-500m, 1 is 500m -1000m etc.etc....

The probelm with using the Rxlevels and even the TA to be honest can be RF repeaters...the repeaters boost the signal in both the UpLink and Downlink directions...therefore giving false (cell wise) power readings.

Also normally you would be able to triangulate the location using the Rxlevel from the best 3-4 neighbouring cells (if available) as the mobile is monitoring these for Handovers.

If anyone can get a hold of a Nokia Engineering phone then this would help to find how to retrieve the info. These phones come with applications built in that provide alot more info than just LAC,CI,TA and Rxlevel

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
When I take a picture, it shows for a brief moment then goes back to the camera. But in that brief instant, the quality of the picture is much lower than what its actually stored as.

Why is that? It always leads me to believe I've taken horrible pictures when in fact they might be good enough.

For those wondering, I primarily take pictures of Notes / Random papers with information. It's usually text, so it would seem as if its not legible, when it could be.

My simple workaround is taking 2 pictures per page just to make sure.. But, is there a better camera app?

its not broken, its just a preview of what you just snapped. swipe to the right to see the actual image, swipe to the left again to go back to the camera. I think this happens when you have HDR mode on, since it has to stitch together several photos

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Also it's more noticeable when using the zoom, but so far the digital zoom has not disappointed me, i use it to take pictures of the whiteboard in my accounting class cuz the professor likes to explain everything with huge confusing diagrams and then erase everything
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dEris:
No. It does this with regular settings as well.

When I take a pic with the flash, the instant preview looks really bright like my flash killed the photo making me think I need to take another, but when I swipe to the right, the photo looks perfect.

Hope i helped

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

And to answer your last question i do not see any reason why you wouldnt be able to send it back if it has problems because when you bought your device from google you entered a legally binding contract where you pay for the device and they have to send you the goods you paid for which is a fully functional device so yeah if the 2nd one is defective just let them know

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABD EL HAMEED:
Hi I have a question why is android buggy I mean when I compare my s2 to my dad's old iPhone 3gs it's still laggy why is that I've searched why is it like that and found out it's because of the ui rendering but it should be fixed with ICS and JB so why is it still laggy while the iPhone never lags at all:confused:

Thanks in advance:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grizzlywan:
The reason is that iOS is designed for the iPhone hardware. Apple only has one phone, with a set hardware configuration. Android has to work with many different hardware configurations, so it uses generic drivers for everything. Newer end Android phones have virtually no lag as well. If you run the right rom on the S2 it won't lag either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABD EL HAMEED:
OK what rooms do you suggest for me that has no lag bear in mind please that I have the G model I don't care if it's going to be a GB ROM or ICS or JB as long as there is no lag at all also I read that android will never have no lags because of the ui rendering because it uses the main thread and doesn't use a secondary thread and it's set to normal priority while iOS sets priority to real time so is it true that android will never be bugless or not (I hope not because I really like an android phone more than an iPhone)

Thanks in advance:)

Actually, IOS is also "laggy" when you install some new IOS on the old device. My iPod Touch started to lag after I upgraded from IOS 2.0 to IOS 4.3, and battery life decreased dramatically.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABD EL HAMEED:
OK I know that iOS lags when you install a new version on an older device berceuse I did it with my dad's old iPhone 3GS when iOS 5 came out but that's because the hardware it self can't stand it and if it's all hardware compatibility can you do some thing in android os so it can work better lag less make it work Better with the hardware

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...o-remain-like-that-in-the-near-future_id24434 plus in this web page I found that android was laggy because of ui render so what's with that can some body explain it to me

Plus is android laggier than iOS because of the many options and customizations you have so the system is more complex

http://www.cultofmac.com/133624/why-android-will-always-be-laggier-than-ios/

So as I read this is why android is laggy and that's why it's gonna stay like that it turns out for android to be completely smooth it has rewrite the UI framework and that means rewriting every app in the android play store and that will take about a year

Finally I know why android is laggier than IOS

Thanks in advance:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechMasta:
To sum it up in basic words, Android uses generic drivers. Apple has to make software for only a specific hardware, Thus their drivers, screen res. etc. they put is only for a specfiic hardware therefore reducing lag... android is expected to work on lots of phones, thus everything is approximate.. Also because android handles more complex tasks such as widgets, live wallpaper etc. Which use up much of the gpu, only little left for other tasks... while ios's gpu has nothing to render except a bunch of icons, so the gpu stays free and is ready for the next action..

Hope this cleared your doubts :D :highfive:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
For iOS, the safe point is the dual core cortex A9 apple A5 chip for a reatively lag free experience even with the most demanding games 2013 titles+ and anyone who says the S2 wouldn't lag is a lier.

Such example is the iPad 2/Mini/4S

The safe point of android is a quad core a15 chip for a reatively lag free experience.

That's because android requires faster hardware to make up for the unoptimised generic drivers.

Such example is the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2013
