Hi all,
First of: I have heard about the problems, I'm just wondering what the
states are, and if anyone has updates / workaround to my questions,
I'd be willing to listen :)
Im using Nexus one phone.
Android 2.2
UMTS Network
Onto my main point:
I am a student in software engineer doing a Netmonitor App for a UMTS
network based in Montreal Canada. My knowledge in RF is not optimal..
First issue:
UMTS network should be a CDMA network; in my code, tempSG.isGsm()
returns true...
Also, when I use ( from SignalStrength tempSG) tempSG.getCdmaDbm(),
nothing works... but when I use tempSG.getGsmSignalStrength(), it
gives me a good tested value. (FYI, I tested it next to a 'working'
test mode, and the values were 1~2 dBms off.
Am I missing something here? Is UMTS considered GSM? Or is this a flaw
in the API.
Second:
I am unable, on the same UMTS network, to get the active cell ID. The
only info I can get is : CellLocation.getLocation(), which returns a 2
value array of decimal numbers, which is not helpful.
Again, am I doing something wrong?
Third: NeighborCells..
This seems to be.. quite.. buggy to say. I am able to receive the
neighborlist SOMETIMES, and other times, when my SignalStrenghts
refreshes, my list goes to null. Am I the only one?
Also, the SignalStrenght returned by my neighbors is.. weird. I have
tried the workaround of :
for (NeighboringCellInfo cellLoc : listN) {
bW.append(";PSC;" + cellLoc.getPsc() + ";RRSI;"+ (cellLoc.getRssi() +
-113));
Which seems to work, but looking at the API, it should be -113 -
(2*cellLoc.getRssi())...
If anyone knows anything about those issues states ( as on when it'll
be fixed), please let me know asap :)
On a side note; I am willing to share my code freely for personnal use
if anyone needs some kind of free netmonitoring.
Thanks alot !
