Network Monitor - Cell & Signal level - General Topics

I am new to the world of BA and looking for a utility or a software which show the Network status, which cell attached to, signal level, Frequency Used, Neibouring cells etc. The utility is the same as the one used for Nokia Phone and called Network Monitor or the profisional one developed by Ericsson called TEMS. I need this utility where I can get information and record it directly in my BA in the field.
Thanks.

Curiously enough, I already answered this in the xperia sub-forum LOL
Just dial *#*#364#*#* or browse your /windows/ folder to launch fieldtest.exe

Don't have that exe on my Trinity.

Cell ID Info

Hi Everyone
I'm looking for a program that could tell me the Cell ID information for the tower that I'm connecting to.
Does anyone know of such an app?
Hi Pieter.
There are several windows mobile apps that can determine the cell ID info, but none of them seems to work on our Universal...
Phonealarm
Phonealarm is a phone suite program that gives the numeric number of the cell tower and lets you create a name for the tower.

Thanks ... will search for it.
Try this....
There's a program called CellProfiler. I've previously used it and it's really comprehensive when it reports nearby Cell Towers.
Give it a try, and see.

Thanks looking for it right now.
Pieter,
If you find anything that actually works on our Universal, please let us know!!
Well, CellProfiler should theoretically work. Too bad the forum seems to be hacked, and it's not free
None of them so far works properley on the Universal but I'm still looking.
I guess you need a special rilgsm.dll - as with the HTC Fieldtest-tool. Search the forum ...

HTC FieldTest?
What can you tell us about it? That is BOUND to work on Uni, or to be easily adaptable!
See the attached file. Launch it on your device and you'll see that most of the information is missing. I'm not sure whether there is a patched rilgsm.dll for Uni available somewhere....

I don't know if you noticed, but BeastyLeo's amalgam ROM uses the Radio service of the HTC Himalayan. And I can't find the rilgsm.dll you've been talking about, is it in the Windows directory, or somewhere deeper?

WM Torrent Client???

Hi guys,
Plz help me out with this....I want a WM Torrent client....i have downloaded one recently, WinMobile, but its a trial version....
Anyone know about any free available full version bit torrent client???
Thanks in advance...
afaik there is no free torrent sw for pocketpc, and the one I use is adisastas wmTorrent. Works very well, as you might already know.
I use my PPC to download stuff during the night by means of WiFi, because my PC is that loud and there is no door between the bedromm and where my PC is located

Sorry....just wanted a full version application from a fellow member...he possesses one!
yes, and I payed for it.
you can't be serious to ask for a crack here!?!
if you need the software, the USD 20,-- should't be a problem.
If its not worth that much to you, you obviously don't need it.
I am a Software Engineer by trade and I am pretty sure Adisasta put some work in this application. As said, it works very well. It has a nice interface too, btw.

okay boss...
Has anyone got wmtorrent to work properly. I keep getting "no tracker" from any torrent I try to leech.
I have same problem, and almost every where I try to dl it says: "Client Banned" or something like that : /
I just sent their "support" team a email about this problem. If they give me a solution, I will post it here for others to see.
Thank you for your email.
‘No Tracker’ means wmTorrent cannot reach the tracker URL.
Either the url is out of reach because it is a tracker-less torrent or your Internet connection is faulty.
In the first case, wmTorrent currently does not support tracker-less torrent.
In the second case, you need to check your connection settings.
It appears the Wmtorrent isn't even trying to establish a data connection. It's just sitting there, I never see my 3G icon change. Anyone know a solution?
wmtorrent issues
I used wmtorrent for some time now so I know the program pretty good.You have to establish a connection to the internet before connecting in wmtorrent.I usually use a program like im+ to connect to the internet or u can turn it on in comm manager, then in wmtorrent menu,tools,check connect you should see a green circle with on in upper left corner.If you click the notepad looking tab with a gear in front,thats your log it should show activity.
LOL,, I was just about to post this. I have to open Beejives IM client to get the data connection up. Thank's for your post. I wonder if this is a bug they plan to fix.

I have it working, but for some reason my data connection will drop. What do you mean by, "cut it on in comm manage". I don't see any setting that will bring up the data connection automatically, and keep it up.

depending on which comm manager(using new on/off style) it should say data connection or old style (green bkground w/ buttons) i believe its the buttons with arrows pointing to each other, if anything you can go in connection settings and connect from there,i personally use wktask bc it has a functions menu when u click in the most upper right in today screen,that allows you to connect/disconnect with your set connection.
btw i remember adidasta the developers for wmtorrent posted in their support forum about developing wmtorrent v3!! this was a month / two ago afaik they stated it will released after the d wnload accelerator app which is been out quite some time, and nowadays if you go to their forum that posting you can no longer find!! so im guessing they no longer developing it.This a shame because they had good fixes lined up including auto connect,dht,download structure (no more one file download,works like azureus) ,and etc.

Sorry for the disappearing of the pertinent post, it was a sincere mistake of our team, we accidentally deleted the database while upgrading the forum.
I can assure you that we are still developing wmTorrent. There are lot of problems we have to address before we can release the latest version, it is indeed a huge undertaking for us and with very limiting income that this project has generated so far, we are really struggling to keep it alive. It is the love of programming and BT protocol that make me fund and develop this project in the beginning and also because of that, I will never abandon the project. For better or worst.
I believe, you know the condition of software developers for WM.
Recently I have to switch our resources to another project, wmZip, due to immediate demands from vertical markets. By so doing, unfortunately, it contributes to the delay of wmTorrent v.3 release date. I hope I can put it back on track soon.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported us so far, believe us, we will live up to your expectation and deliver a better version in the future. Be patient

O2 Homezone (icon and text) display

Hi there,
I'm new here but got so much out of this forum so I'm happy I can give something back to the community - though it's mainly interesting for the German folks.
After many hours I finally figured out how to activate the display of the home zone on the stock HTC Touch Pro as on the branded O2 XDA Diamond Pro.
1. Install the missing manila files "1bf4fdc4_manila", "5e8e48df_manila" and "6b3eaf1e_manila" which are included in the O2 branded ROM to your windows folder using total commander e.g..
2. Create the following registry keys and entries (e.g. with TaskManager or any other registry editor for PPC):
a) Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC" create a key named "HZI".
Under this key put the following entries:
"HZService version"="1.30.30448"
"Type"=dword:00000000
"Tag"=""
"LACIn2G"=dword:00000001
Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services" create a key named "HZService".
Under this key put the following entries:
"DLL"="HZService.dll"
"Prefix"="HZS"
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Order"=dword:00000008
"Index"=dword:00000000
Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM" create a key named "MASD".
Under this key put the following entries:
"HZService_O2DE"="1_30_30448_0"
3. Restart TouchFlo3D or Touch Pro itself.
That's it, the home zone symbol and the word "home" will be shown in the left top area at the same height as the operator logo (usually there is the date shown which moves underneath the big clock and is then situated right to the alarm clock). The same symbol but a in a small version will also be shown on the telephone screen left to the "backspace" symbol in the top area.
IMPORTANT: O2 currently does NOT support home zone display when registered in their 3G network (UMTS) but only in GSM, so either put your phone in GSM mode only or use the tone indicator offered by O2. To figure that out it took me quite a while since my phone was set to automatic and during testing never showed the symbol though it was correctly set up ...
Hope that helps a couple of you out there since that information I could not find anywhere on the web.
CU,
Vampyre
UPDATE: Okay, I got it now working on 3G as well - it turned out to be an O2 issue, not the Touch Pro's fault or anything on my side. For all having trouble with display of the symbol in 3G: Call the hotline and let them open a trouble ticket for you stating the problem. Maybe you'll have to try several times but it actually works. Currently it only stops working when in 3G mode HSDPA is available and shown on the TP display. But I'm working on that as well...

On my xda Diamond Pro (ROM: 1.90.207.4 GER) I can see the homezone indicator in 3G mode.

Okay, since I don't have a XDA I cannot verify that. I got that information straight from the O2 hotline. But if you can I would appreciate an export of your registry to check if that can help to solve the issue as well as a copy of the "HZService.dll" located in the windows folder.

Could you please send me a CAB file? Thanks in advance.

Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HZI" I have an additional entry named "HZService version" and the REG_SZ value "1.30.30448" and the entry "Tag" has the value "home". All other entries are identical to the entries you decribed above.
The missing homezone indicator could also be a SIM problem. I had this problem (missing indicator in 2G and/or 3G mode) several times when I got a new SIM (replacement or new multicard). Then the service hotline resent the homezone coordinates (once they had to send it 3 times) to my mobile (logged in to 3G network) and all worked perfect.

Okay, the tag value is set during the operation of the DLL, so it's "home" on mine too. The second entry I do have too; I just forgot to mention it in the first posting (gotta to add it).
Okay, the SIM might be a problem too, so I'll try your procedure as well (hopefully it's not the same person on the phone as when calling the first time and getting the above stated information about the lacking support for home zone in 3G).
The DLL is identical to mine, thanks for sending it anyway.;-)
I'd still like to compare my whole registry to yours...;-)

Doesnt work on XDA Orbit 2 (Polaris)
Hi there,

Does this .cab work for Polaris at all?

Actually this cab is only meant to be for the HTC Touch Pro aka Raphael as is the forum in which this post is located ;-)
If it can work for your Orbit 2 as well I cannot tell, but since you don't have the TouchFlo3D interface I doubt it.

Still no homezone icon on my today screen but on my contacts and dial screen of iPhone! Seems to be at the same places like in the original dialer. Thats all I need.
thanks

Thanks for your kind reply and cab file. I am using xda diamond, windows 6.1.
I am unsuccessful in installing on my device. My phone was already saying that this application is not suitable for my ROM.
Could you please provide the cab file for xda diamond.
EDIT: Whoops, I should have read the whole thread. @mods: please delete this post, it was redundant.

Hmm, as I already stated, I've never made up a cab file before and I'm pretty new to this PDA stuff, so maybe somebody with more experience in making cabs could check what has to be done to make it work on Diamond Pro?
UPDATE: I guess I could fix the CAB now as I got more insight on this process...Could you try it out?
Thanks for your post. But my phone was unable to install this CAB.
Okay, here we go again, another try with the CAB. At least on mine it seems to install.
Thanks for trying.

I tried it on my Herald / Xda terra and didnt work as well :-( I dunno what the difference between the models is, but I also use Manila 2D (OpenTouch 7.7. ROM). Which program can I use to edit the registry? TaskManager didnt work here... Sorry, I seem to be quite untalented..
As I already stated, this method and DLL are *O*N*L*Y* valid for Touch Pro and Diamond. It needs TouchFlo3D to work. Manila 2D as well as other interfaces to WM will probably not work.
TaskManager works for me, but there are other registry editing tools out there. BTW, with TaskManager a separate tool and not the in Manila integrated task manager is meant.
I own HTC touch pro 2 (win mobile 6.1.; touchFLo Vs. 3.0 - it should be the same as touchFlo3d?). It is new (seems to be produced 05-2009) and unbranded.
I tried your cab. It installs and the registry entries are as you wrote in the beginning of this thread. I copied HZService.dll to the windows folder and restarted.
It does not work at all. What the heck could be the problem?
Hope this thread isn't closed yet.
Greetings from Berlin, Germany
Are you in a HSDPA area? As in previous posts noted the cab will not work when in HSDPA mode. A workaround is to disable the display of the "H" symbol which will give you the home zone icon but no "H" icon any more (though HSDPA speed when available will remain as quoted by other users).
CU,
Cactus World
I am in Berlin, Germany. This should be a HSDPA area but I always only have "G" on my phone. Any other ideas?

Tools to show GSM cell ID

I am looking a tools that can show the current GSM network cell id, lac, & it's signal strenght, any tools?
Do a Search!
Er, yes - there are LOADS of posts on this.
I did a (very quick) search on the forum, and the top result was called "Yet another CellID application"!
I can't vouch for which of the many is the best - but you could do the search yourself and try some!
Hope this helps.
thank very much !
Moved as not software release.
