You need version 1.1 in post #2 above before you can change the filename. Version 1.0 had the filename hard coded in it.

You change the logfile name by using the LogFile menu selection from the left menu before you start the log running.

From the Save Dialog box, you have to click the 'Save' button, otherwise the dialog will lose the new filename.

Just got my Kaiser to write to \Storage Card\MISC\Logfile.txt without a problem.

About Signal Strength, is it still from registry?

In RIL_GetCellTowerInfo() from your link is also some dwRxxxxxx, e.g.:

Maybe the right one for signal strenght?

stephj thanks , i am using your program to check the quality of external GPS antennas .

Just fews question:

1) the signals is in % ?

2) I read 3 Db values : is one for celldata ?

3) the range of Db is from ..... to .... (i mean MIN MAX

4) i have signal 100 and db -83 -113 -51 (minus) what is the highest value for good signal ?

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stephj:
53.470325,-2.243849,2010-08-11,07:25:52,090,-65,-113,-51,0EA,0F,00CF,0000E612

In this case the 090 is the % value from the registry.

-65 is nSignalStrength, -113 is nMinSignalStrength and -51 is nMaxSignalStrength as returned by RIL_GetSignalQuality() the structure is defined as:

typedef struct {
DWORD cbSize;
DWORD dwParams;
int nSignalStrength;
int nMinSignalStrength;
int nMaxSignalStrength;
DWORD dwBitErrorRate;
int nLowSignalStrength;
int nHighSignalStrength;
} RILSIGNALQUALITY;

This from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922384.aspx

It is the first of the three values that is the current signal strength.The values are in db as they can vary a lot, from being right next to the tower to being miles away from it. In this case -51 is over a million times stronger than -113.

Maybe some radio engineer might be able to shed some light on the values as regards a 'good' signal. I assume there is some correlation between the % strength and the actual db level.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brandpa:
Very useful app thanks. Works fine on HTC HD2 .Does anyone know how to find the location of a cell from the cell data. ? Also any way to choose the cell to use. I have a weak signal for 3g that appears sometimes and a stronger one with GPRS only. I would like to be able to hold it on the 3g and also tell the carrier to hold the full signal power if possible. I believe there is some datacard software that can do some of these things ( E620)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stephj:
Cell-ID to actual location.

This is where the data starts to have some real commercial worth, and it also sees the appearance of methods used to protect the same.

I believe that Google Maps for mobile uses some internal web service API.

Ericsson Labs also provides a limited service but you have to sign up as a developer, and you are limited to the number of submissions per day you make to the webservice. You have to supply your userkey provided on signup, as part of the URL, to get the location data returned.

For more info have look at

https://labs.ericsson.com/apis/mobile-location/

The API itself, is described here.

https://labs.ericsson.com/apis/mobile-location/documentation/cell-id-look-up-api

It does work. You supply the Hex values for Mobile Country Code, Mobile Network Code,Location Area Code, and CellID and it returns the Latitude and Longitude of the cell, as well as the maximum distance you are likely to be from it. An example of what it returns is below :

{"position":{"accuracy":"481.0","latitude":"53.477208009524","longitude":"-2.2329582857143"}}

Anyone recognise central Manchester?

As regards holding on to a particular Cell, I am not certain whether it can be done, as most of this is done by the Radio ROM and is outside the user's control. There is nothing in the standard RIL library to deal with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PocketfullofMDA:
Thanks for this app, I can see it coming in very handy in future when I'm onsite setting up GSM kit, especially if the client is complaining about our kit having a low signal strength when their mobile phone is showing full bars... much easier to point at absolute numbers on a screen than to try persuading them that comparing bar graphs between different devices is about as reliable as sticking a wet finger in the air and trying to deduce signal strength from how much it tingles!

Only problem I had with this case that I tried on in the store was that it's very difficult to slide the keyboard out fully because of the tabs. I've tried this with the gel case and the clear case. This sucks a lot because it's going to scratch the phone over a long period of time.

i like it a lot. the sides are hard but the rest is gel. There is a slight very slight gap between the 2 peices but it looks good. I like how they didnt cut holes for the camera volume and lock button yet they are stll easy to push.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveTO:
I am using the built in email app to connect to my Exchange server and I have my phone with me at work like most people.

What I experience is a message will come in to my mailbox, instantly I get the notification in both Outlook and the N1. I will read the message in Outlook, decide to keep it (mark it as unread)/delete it (move it to deleted items) and the N1 will keep notifying me via Trackball glow that I have an unread message even though I've read it.

If I read or delete a message on the N1 it is always pushed back to the Exchange server (and consequently Outlook) immediately.

Anyone else experience this? It is okay when I am not near Outlook, but when I'm in the office it is very annoying to be alerted about messages that I've already read or deleted.

This type of behavior is not happening on my iPhone 3GS when I had it connected and this type of behavior does not happen for my GMail account on the N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveTO:
I actually believe the update to a message from read to unread may actually get pushed to the device they just don't clear the notification. I can confirm this by going in to the mail app and I noticed all the changes I've made are up to date.

The issue seems to be that the notifications won't auto-clear on the N1 once the changes have already been pushed to the phone. This really sucks :(

Can anyone confirm my findings? Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jettisoned:
I can also confirm this. The notification has to be cleared manually. Once the notification is there it's there until you acknowledge it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlogik:
Froyo, Desire, they all do that. Notification doesn't clear automatically apparently. Would be nice if it did. Once a check of unread/read is done, just clear the alerts once open/moved etc..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveTO:
Google Mail notifications will clear automatically so it is definitely something they left out inadvertently. I hope they can fix it soon.

Hi Guys,

As mentioned before, the G7 on the chinese websites seems to be way cheaper than what you can get in Australia(see TradeTang). However, I was just wondering if the phone would work as well as the A8181 on any network, and if there is any trade off in terms of quality?

Wireshark at a "router"

While not an on-device solution, I use this setup when I want to watch the traffic between my phone and the network:

"sorry, apparently I can't post a link to this forum, it's at my site droidhacks.com, click on the wireshark tag in the sidebar and you'll find the post"

Having a full Wireshark install running on the desktop is great for poking through the data. I think some folks do the capture on the device and then just move the capture file across. Also helps sometimes to pull the SIM to make sure all the traffic goes through the laptop and not through the network. Sharing on OS X with an handset can be a bit fidgety when first starting up.

Ok, I think we need a rather large dose of reality here. You'll not manage it, simple as that, certainly not from a consumer device. I suspect you are thinking along the line of WiFi wireless, where you can monitor what other devices are sending. If you really wish to know more then google 'usrp' and you'll soon see you'll need far more hardware and software to start capturing GSM traffic.

I'm pretty sure intercepting phone calls would still be "illegal", regardless of the fact that you're a network security specialist.

But yes, nothing is impossible, that's pretty much a given. Give someone enough expertise and resources, anything can be hacked. Encryption is actually important, so the general, uninformed riff-raff can't access anything they want. Like my previous statement, it can still be hacked, but it's better that not being encrypted at all.

If there is a download link for the the original kernel itself, you should be able to flash back to that. Otherwise, you would likely have to wipe and reflash the whole ROM.

Ok, after lots of attempts at using universal mounts, I took matters into my own hands. I ordered a NUVI250w mount off ebay for $5 shipped. It arrived from China and was a bit too far apart.

I softened the plastic by heating it slightly (use a heatgun or the like) and slightly bend the tabs inward. As I use an innocase, I didn't have to bend much. I then used a bit of heatshrink tubing to add a bit of grip to the tabs, and really snug it up.

This is the final product.

It is as snug as any GPS, and has the added benefit that the camera can work through the windshield.
