Hi
Is it available software to monitor gsm/3g features like signal power, cell id, LAC etc similar to Nokia monitor?
thanx in advance

Hi!
I have an HTC Diamond, and i'd like to extend battery life when using the WiFi network.
In my Nokia N79 (With Symbian S60 3rd Ed FP2) i can set the transmit power to 100 mW, 10 mW, or 4 mW.
And that of course extend battery life.
Why i'm asking this ? Because the PushMail solution in my company works with a propietary VPN Client, and can use 3G or WiFi, and being in the office, i prefer WiFi connection.
Can i set up that transmit power ? Perhaps in the registry ?
I'm NOT talking about Stand-By configurations in Power Management.
Specifically i'm speaking in change the transmit power of the WiFi.

doubt the qualcom cpu which control wifi, gps, 3g & bluetooth have their settings for such things in software
Thanks for the reply!
Do you know what chipset has that control ?
I want to give WinMo an other try, but, i had more battery life with Nokia, and THE change was modify the WiFi transmit power....

"Do you know what chipset has that control ?"
yes as I state all the features I listed are qualcomm and directly integrated into the cpu of the pda
Perhaps my question was not clear enough.
If i'd like to buy a device who had that transmit power control feature, and of course it's based in the chipset feature...
Do you know what device should be ?

is this utter rubbish or what they told my misses if she buys the touch 3g it will connect ot out home wifi and boost signal as we have a low signal reception on orange in our area can anyone explain this to me and how my rhodium can do this also?
it wont boost your signal but obviously you will be able to suft the internet at much higher speeds just switch on your wifi in settings, it should give you a list of availible routers, pick yours, enter the wep key and your up and running
on that note I wonder how hard it would be to hack a, say, DD-WRT firmware set of routers to allow a repeater over the internet (for non tmobile users and their wifi calling! GRR)
I would love to modify a wifi router to catch CDMA/GSM instead of broadcast 802.11, then set it up VPN style to connect to another router that then broadcasts the signal instead of 802.11 (yes i know repeaters exist, but im talking miles away)
wow, first post here and I made myself a winter project! I have plenty of friends who would love to test it with me too ^^
now to avoid the red tape!
What they are talking about is UMA (google it for details) which basically allows you to route GSM traffic over an Internet connection via WiFi.
It's supported on Blackberries, some non-smart-phones (dumb phones), and the touch 3G. It's not supported on any of the other WM or Android devices.
Maybe someone on here can mod up a ROM for the rhodium to support this? It would need the radio from an Orange build of the Touch 3G. There may be other aspects to this as well.
yep the dude who likes trees is right - UMA is only supported on certain phones - one model of nokia, most blackberries and one model of HTC device - The Touch 3G. As far as I was aware though you need an Orange Livebox in order for it to work (Orange's broadband router).
It seems to work as I have a number of users using it at home with work provided phones (mainly crackberries) in areas of no orange reception- but from what I've heard in terms of feedback they're Orange Livebox isn't that great at range and also picks up allot of interference (one user regularly complains it keeps dropping connection).
thanks everyone that was what i thought. i will just have to get a nice ilegal orange gsm repeater on ebay then
My work blackberry works UMA over any wireless network that I have connected to, none of them are orange boxes or orange broadband.
At work we have mostly BT broadband with various routers and wifi access points - Draytek, cisco, dlink, 2wire from bt and at home I have talktalk with huawei and linksys access points.
Just wish I could get uma for other win mobile.

It's not technically correct, but might in effect be true if your phone supports UMA. This effectively routes a GSM call over your WiFi/ADSL and then via internet in Orange's circuit-switched core network. As a result if you previously could not make calls in your home on GSM, magically you now will be able to when within range of your router. They market the service as Unik or Unyk phone.

By the way the Orange UK Unyk/Unik service does not need an Orange Livebox or ISP to work - it is the "open ISP" variety of UMA
Hi all,
I'm looking to find or write a solution that will display the signal strength of each gsm network (carrier) in a given area.
From the research I've done, I believe it is possible to determine this information by interpreting the BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel) info from each of the surrounding cells, which contains such things as as the signal level, cell id and mobile network code.
Does anyone here know if it is possible to do this via RIL on winmo / ce devices or if there is an existing application that does this. I've looked at the RILCELLTOWERINFO structure on MSDN but this seems to only supply info for the currently connected cell.
I have looked at a HTC application called fieldtest.exe which seems to display signal levels of up to 6 cells, but seem to identify the network code.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
WiFi is split into 13 channels - they are used to reduce interference with other routers and devices using the same spectrum. Channel can be set manually in a router but is often chosen automatically by the router. The channels themselves overlap; e.g. channel 7 will still intefere with channels +/- 5 channels. Note that not all channels are licensed in all regions of the world so you may only see (say) 11 channels on your router.
What it sounds like you are looking for is the signal to noise or even more general "quality" on any given channel - i.e. finding out which channel would be best for a specific installation. Although the various metrics that would allow you to compute this value are available at the hardware interface, the iPhone networking API does not expose them. You could investigate using a jailbroken iPhone and corresponding devkit or switching your app to the destop.

Sorry, I probably didn't make it clear, but I'm actually referring to GSM as used by cellphones rather than WiFi.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I would like to know if a software exists on WP7 that activate the Wifi which is based on own location...
On Blackberry plateform, this software exists => SmartWifi !
http://www.s4bb.com/software/smartwifi/
SmartWiFi leverages from the smartphone always being connected to the network carrier. By combining cell tower and WiFi hotspot information WiFi is turned off when not needed and turned back on when needed. Because WiFi is one of the biggest consumers of battery power when searching for WiFi networks this has a tremendous positive effect on your battery life.
Hi there,
I am a student and artist from Berlin without any experience in android related stuff. I am looking for simple signal tracker that monitors Wifi, Telephony, SMS, Email, GPS, etc.....all sorts of mobile communication signals around me with the help of an smartphone on the go. I was thinking of an android smartphone solution which tracks all these networks in both strength and quantitiy and transfers the sum of it to an arduino board. I guess thats probably very simple from a developers point of view. The android smartphone + programe should be able to communicate with an arduino board which triggers a LED. Maybe a connection through audio cables from smartphone to arduino would be also a good solution because this signal would be not disrupted by anything. The LED visualizes the existing networks. I only found very simple wifi + GSM shields for arduino so I came up with this idea of using a smartphone, because it has everything I would need on board. Do you know any good programs which are simple to hack or to use. Dont forget its an art project ... so not a new app for the app-store It will be some sort of functional sculpture. So all the technology will be inside (not visible) the scuplture.
I would like to monitor these frequencies here...
Tx Frequency
(A)TX frequency 845-975 MHz (Mobile Voice)
(B)TX frequency 1785-2000 MHz (Mobile Voice)
(C)TX frequency 2100-2170MHz (Mobile Data)
(D)TX frequency 2400-2485 MHz (WiFi)
(E)TX frequency 1300-1550 MHz (GPS)
Any advice/help would much appreciated.
Thanks
