LOCATION FINDING without using GPS using J2ME (in gsm network)

I was wondering if it is possible for me to obtain the ID (name) of the tower my phone is communicating with using J2ME (in a GSM network). I`m developing for T610. The cell info display shows the name of the tower. Is there any way i can get that text into my java program? I`ve seen Nokia apps do it, but they are C++ apps.. Is the same thing possible with J2ME?

Hi,
Yes it is possible. Try to use receive CBS messages it will give you the location name. And moreover there are some handset model specific that you have to use. I was successful in doing the same for motorola devices.
System.getProperty("IMSI")
System.getProperty("CellID")
System.getProperty("LocAreaCode")
This will give you imsi, cellid and location area code and then try to receive cbs messages that will give you the location.
It has been successfully implemented on motorola device
Bye
Sunil

  • HT3939 Would be possible to buy a contract free unlocked iphone 5s from USA & use it overseas over a GSM network?

    Would be possible to buy a contract free unlocked iphone 5s from USA & use it overseas over a GSM network?

    Yes.
    Only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones in the US, & the T-Mobile labeled iPhone is officially unlocked if putchased from Apple.
    But, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will most likely not support LTE anywhere other than North America.
    Any issues, no authorized source, outside of the US, will touch the phone, or help you in anyway.

  • Anyway to update Apple's location database without an gps enabled apple device?

    So I have moved from Manila to Angeles City here in the Philippines. Still using the same router. I've search countless ways on how to update your hotspot's location. Whenever I get connected to my Android's hotspot. It updates it to where I live. Whenever I connect to my router it gets confused. It says im at Manila or I'm at my correct location. Location disappears after a few secs on my router. It's stable when I connect to my android device. Non of my friends have iPhone's. I do have one but it's dead. Wouldn't waste my money on fixing it just for the location. Is there like any app for an android device to tell Apple where is my router located?

    Nothing's going to happen until such time as you connect an iPhone or WiFi+Cellular iPad to your router. An Android device isn't going to have any way to connect to and update Apple's database, and a WiFi-only iPad doesn't have location information to pass on to Apple.
    Regards.

  • I can find my iphone, by using GPS satalite? he is stolen

    i can find my iphone, by using GPS satalite? he is stolen

    Only if Find My Phone was turned on & activated BEFORE your phone was lost. You can then login to iCloud.com & hopefully locate it. Otherwise, no.

  • HT4995 Internationally using Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?

    I'm traveling to Europe and I want to use Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?  I want to be able to use Trip Advisor City Guides Application to tour around cities for free.  I have a Verizon International Plan for my trip, but it is still pricey.  I would like to keep my iPhone cell services on for incoming calls, but I want to prevent international data charges.  Thanks for your help!

    You don't "choose" to use th 3g network.
    If you have paid for it in your plan and 3g coverage is available, your phone will automatically use it when necessary.
    3g provides faster internet speeds than 2g, so you can watch video or download stuff faster. Wifi is normally faster than 3g.
    Your iphone gps is "assisted", meaning it uses network data to calculate your position.
    Also, you would still need the network to download maps, directions etc as they are not on your device.

  • N82 using sat-nav without A-GPS

    I have recently purchased a Nokia N82 and for the next couple of weeks will be using it with a Pay as you go account.
    I have used the sat-nav but find it quite expensive using A-GPS. Can anyone please help with a couple of questions?
    1. Can I use the sat nav without A-GPS? (so to work like a regular sat-nav unit)
    2. If so, how do I turn it off?
    Many thanks!!!

    You can use it without A-GPS but it will take much longer to get a fix (could be a few minutes if you are in a built-up area).
    To disable it:
    Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning Methods > Assisted GPS > Disable

  • I am a new Mac user.  How do I easily move files to new locations and folders in Finder, like I was used to doing with Windows Explorer?

    I am a new Mac user, converting from the Windows world.  How do I easily transfer files from one folder location to another in Finder, like I was used to doing in Windows Explorer?

    You can expand Finder into multi-panes, I am not at my Mac right now to get the exact key strokes so don't want to mislead you.  Do so many things on auto-pilot that when someone asks I need the machine so I can get the exact things to click on.
    But you can get the multi-pane view and drag and drop from pane to pane.

  • How to find out locations whether it is in use or not in use

    Hi All,
    I want to delete all unused locations from my FDM application. Can you please help me, how to find the locations that are not in use?
    Regards,
    PB

    You can view the tdataseg(x) table that the location is associated with and sort by period key as needed.
    Select PartitionKey,Part Name,Partsegmentkey
    from tpovpartiton
    This will return the location, location id and segment key.  The segment key is the data segment that the location is associated with.
    You can then query this table and sorty by period key to see what periods the location has data imported for.
    This should give you an idea and you can then delete your locations from within the Metadata > Locations Menu in FDM.
    Keep in mind that once the location is deleted, and data associated with the location will also be deleted (Historical Data)
    Hope that answers your question.

  • How to use GPS without data

    Hello Guys,

    Hi Fallmists,
    To enable your iPhone 4 to be on Wi-Fi when in Canada, please use these steps below. These steps will allow you to connect to a Wi-Fi where it is available instead of you using a wireless network. Also, when you are using your Wi-Fi, the GPS would work off that Wi-Fi connection. I also understand you do not want Data Roaming wile in Canada. Please bear in mind, if you should need to use Data functions in Canada, this would be Data Roaming billed at the roaming rate of $0.002 dollars per kilobyte. Also, if you make calls while in Canada, it is $0.69 a minute for international roaming. Here is a link for international services information for additional assistance.
    To enable Wi-FI:
    1. From the home screen, touch the Settings.
    2. Touch Wi-FI.
    3. If Wi-Fi is not active, slide indicator to On.
    4. To join a network device will display available networks, tap desired network and enter security password if needed.  
    For more assistance with your iPhone 4, please refer to this link for website on the support page. Please use the pull-down tab to select the specific iPhone 4 device you have to access information and tips.

  • Can the Find My iPhone app use a serial number to locate lost iPod Touch 4g

    I lost my iPod Touch 4g and want to find with the Find my iPhone app. I'm using my brother's iPhone 4s to locate it. Can I use a serial number to locate. I lost it in school (in the Administrations office) so I know it won't be stolen. I had them search the whole building and found nothing. My school has Wi-Fi. I got the serial number from iTunes back up.

    The find my iDevice works through iCloud.  What you needed to have done before it went missing was setup an iCloud account on the device, then enable the find my device slider setting to "ON" under that account's settings.
    If you did not do that, it is not trackable.
    There is no way to track it by serial number.
    Also, in order to be trackable it has to be powered on and connected to a data connection.  A wifi-only device like an iPod Touch powers off the wifi radio when running on the battery, so if it has gone into sleep mode, it would not be trackable until or unless woken up by someone so it could re-acquire a data connection with a wifi network.

  • TS4006 "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad can't even locate the iPad I'm using. And I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    I'm using the "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad and it can't even locate the iPad I'm using, not to mention the iPhone I'm looking for. They are both listed as devises, it just says they're both offline, which I know is wrong. I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    Is Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find My iPad turned ON?

  • HT1414 I have lost one app last used months ago, Regularly Synced with I tunes. How to find without upsetting everything else ?

    I have lost one app last used months ago, Regularly Synced with I tunes. How to find without upsetting everything else ?

    Thanks, but I hoped to retrieve Saved information saved in the lost app rather than start afresh with a new download from apple
    The app was for aniverseries, birthdays  and service reminders  etc which I had already entered.
    I have Synced and backed up on my MacBook regularly, but other than a complete restore of my system, I do not know how to find and cherry pick individual apps, or even if it is possible to do such a thing.
    After all this time I am not even sure of the original name of the lost app.
    this sounds  a bit fable !  (and the spell check on this is not good either, not very good suggestions !)

  • How to use GPS to synchronize measurement at 2 different locations.

    The error of the starting time may < 10ns.

    Hi,
    You could use two cheap Garmin OEM GPS 18x LVC receivers for around 80 USD each (https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=27594&pvID=14555).
    They "have bare wire for connection to a variety of
    applications; can output data in NMEA 0183 format (industry standard)
    or proprietary Garmin format; provides a pulse-per-second logic-level
    output with a rising edge aligned to within 1 microsecond of UTC time".
    You should connect TTL PPS signal to the Counter Input of the DAQ Card and use it as a trigger or timing source. On RS-232 interface you have ASCII info about position and current time (every second). Version 5 PPS is also available.
    Details about using GPS for DAQ sync could be found on NI pages. Try "GPS synchronisation.
    Important: selecting receiver look for PPS (Pulse-per-Second) signal availlability. 
    My app. runs on two PXI's with DSA cards and PXI-6602 as a GPS18xLVC timing interface.
